TARO LANDS
FOR SCHOOL
Waialee Is an Institution
Almost SeIf-Sup-
porting.

Yesterday Superintendent of Public
Instruction Rabbit was. moving little
bits of paper, pastors around on a blue
print tackled on the wall of his office
for all the world like a new Napoleon
of the public schools working out the
battle plan of a great campaign. But
he wasn't doing that at all. He was
only trying to find out who owns the
kuleanas that lie along the low land
of Waialee, in order that he might ar
rive at some plan to exchange these
for public lands somewhere else and so
get them all for the use of the Boys
Reform School.
There are a lot of these kuleanas,
lying in an irregular plat on the ocean
side of Waialee, and covering some
thing like thirty acres all told of the
best of the Reform School lands. They
were formerly the homes and taro
patches of native residents of that re-
gion, but the places have been aban-
doned for years, only two natives hav-
ing their homes there now. If the ku-
form School, the boys could raise taro
enough to support the school, almost.
In fact, the Reform School at Wal
alec is self-supporting now, excepting
so far as the salaries of officials are
concerned. That is, the boys raise
nearly everything that they eat right
on the school land at Waialee. They
have seven hundred acres of land alto
gether in the tract, and there are now
eighty-siX boys in the school, the num-
Der running from that up to one hum
dred during the year. They have three
hundred acres, about, in the lowlands,
the balance of the tract being on the
uplands above the bluff and being ex-
cellent pasture land.
On the lowlands, the boys of the
school raise all the vegetables used at
the place, and have besides thirty acres
in cane, which they will sell to Ka-
huku plantation when it is cut. They
do not expect to make anything from
the cane this year but next year it
will pay them pretty well.
superintendent T. H. Gibson of the
Reform School likewise has plan to
get the uplands fenced, and then put
enough cattle there to raise all the
meat the school will use, besides CIV
ing a surplus for market. There is
plenty of pasture to do this. One thing
the school desires, and that is that the
location of the County road shall be
changed SO that 1t will follow the
line of the railway on the makai side,
and not cut right through across the
Reform School fields. as it does now.
With this change made, the fields can
be closed up and a fine entrance way
made to the Reform School grounds
from the highway 1t is entirely likely
that the Board of Supervisors of Oahu
County will be petitioned to change the
location of the road as desired by the
school department, Mr.. Rabbit being
in hearty accord with Mr.. Gibson in
this matter.

The Garden Island: The gambling
fraternity has been very careful in
it's movements since last court term;
the vigorous way in which the last
grand jury tiled to throw light on
the proceedings of the hui, that car
ried on a profitable business on Kau-
al, gave the men conducting the trans
actions a shock. AS long as the re-
suit of being caught was simply
money fine, they didn't trouble them
selves much about covering their
tracks: they could easily recuperate
afterwards. But when the sentences
commenced to take the form of So
journ in jail, the affair took on another
aspect, and precaution became a
necessity.
That is probably the reason why ar
rests for gambling have been rather
scarce in the last three or four months.
OF late the fraternity has become more
confident and gone to work with less
secrecy, and the result has OF course
been the inevitable one-arrest
Captain of Police Gardner had no
ticed suspicious preference for the
neighborhood of Niumalu as a place
dents of the district and therefore de-
termined to ascertain what the at
traction could be. Sunday night he took
two of his police officers along and pro-
ceeded to investigate. Down by the
fish pond he found a house that SEEM
ed to be the rendezvous of the celes-
tials. and placing one of his men as
a guard at the foot of the stairs he
and his other man quietly assembled
to the lodge room. The fifteen Chi
nese, gathered in the room, seemed to
be much more interested in the game
of fantan at the moment in progress
than in any possible interruption. Cap

MANY DEAL
IN LIQUOR
Treasurer Campbell Not
Sure Number Has
Been increased.

There have already been more than
one hundred thousand dollars collect
ed by the Territorial Treasury for liq-
uor license under the new law, against
a total OF S60,650 paid in under the old
law for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1905. And there has been, more
over. a large increase in the number
OF licenses taken out. However, it
will not do TO argue from this that the
passa ge OF the new law caused any
permanent increase in the volume of
the liquor business in the Territory,
because that can hardly be made to
appear from the figures-as yet.
Under the old law, there We're five
classes of license, namely the light
wine and beer license, for which the
dealer paid $500 per year; the beer
license, for which the fee was $3.50;
the wholesalers license, for which the
fee was $500; the dealers license, being
for those who could break containers
but must sell in original packages, for
which the fee was $500, and lastly the
retailers license, which cost $1,000.
The new law provides for license of
only three classes, namely the third,
which is the wholesale license for deal
and the fee for which is $500; the
fourth class, which allows the sale of
any quantity up to five gallons and
FOR
which is $500; and the fifth class, for
which the fee is 500 and which per-
mits of the sale of liquor in sealed
containers. 1t should be borne in
mind that, under the new law, those
men who held light wine and beer
license or license to sell beer alone,
have taken out fourth class licenses
and so have become full-fiedged
saloonkeepers, while wholesale deal
ers take out license of both the third
and fourth classes, paying one thou
sand dollars a year therefor, and are
able to sell any quantity of liquor
from a thimbleful to a shipload.
Under the new law there have been,
to date, 2SS licenses ISSUED all told, di-
vided as follows: Third class, 401;
fourth class. 142; fifth class, los. AS
has been said before, some of these
license are duplications-that is, the
same dealer has sometimes taken out
licenses Of two classes-and so the
figures do not represent exactly the
number of dealers in the Territory.
Under the old law there were in the
Territory 1ss dealers, divided as to
their class of license as follows: Light
wine and beer license, %; beer license,
81; retail license, "a; wholesale license,
S; dealers license, 80.
Under the old law, the license was
paid by the year, and when a license
was taken out for the year it was
paid in full at the time of taking out.
Under the new law, the license is paid
when taken out only for the fractional
part of the year to June 80, which is
the end of the fiscal year. AT that
time, the license must be renewed for
the entire year, if the licensee proposes
to continue in the business. 1t is the
belief of Treasurer Campbell that
number of the new licenses taken out
will not be renewed at the end of the
fiscal period, the parties taking them
not having found the business as prof
liable as they had thought they would.

MOTHER
AND CHILD.

Let the mother take
SCOTS Emulsion for the
two; it never fails to
benefit them both. One
can eat for two, but nour-
ishing two is a different
thing. 1t calls for a de-
gree of internal strength
that the average woman
lacks. People of luxury
are not very strong by
habit; overworked people
are weak in some func-
tons from exhaustion Or
their surroundings. SCOTS
Emulsion can be depend
ed upon to overcome such
conditions. It is a Won
derful food for a mother
and child.

 General Allen, of the United States Signal Corps, in his annual report says the Alaska cable is operating satisfac- tory and recommends that the cable running from Juneau to Sitka be cut and looped near Cape Fanshaw to run a single cable to Wrangell and thence on Prince of Wales to near Hadley and then on to Ketchikan. It is proposed that by cooperation with the Alaska Road Commission that they construct a cutoff between Glen and Tolovna and abandon the line from Tolvna to Cinema. This will allow the construc- tion of line eighteen miles from Tolo- vana to connect Cinema. He advises an additional cable between Seattle and Sitka and says the Norton Sound wire less is working perfectly.
 Some so miles from the mouth of the Tanana, a so-called slough, i. e., the stagnant water in an old closed chan nel, joins the Tanana. Following this slough for distance of 6 miles one reaches the famous hot springs of the Panama There are several small hot springs bubbling out of the ground near the head of the slough. The coun- try is strongly rolling, forming series of knolls and hills, and between and at the bases of these are numberIof seepages of hot water. A prospector named J. F. Karshner, who was formerly a farmer in Kansas, happened on these springs, and correctly estimating their importance, located homestead, in- cluding the springs. He began clearing and,and the following year, that of 1903, he planted his first garden. He met with such remarkable success that he has extended the clearing and con- tinued his gardening operations. The unique feature of the situation is that the ground over an area of some 25 or 30 acres appears to be warmed, either by the presence of the springs, or per haps from the underlying hot rocks which heat the water. This ground thus forms natural hotbed. Ordinary garden crops develop with great rapidi- ty. When visited July 24 he had al- ready marketed his early cabbage, eau liflower, carrots and peas, to say nothing of radishes, lettuce, turnips and other crops of rapid growth. His new potatoes were fully grown and of excellent quality, and the ground from which the early cabbage and caulifiower had been removed was already planted to the second crop of cabbage. For hotbed tent was stretched over suit able patch of soil and seed sown under it. The natural warmth in the ground, which is not, however, so great as to be readily perceptible to the hand, was sufficient to grow the plants in the month of April to such size that they could be planted in May. The possi- bilities of the place are very great. MT. Karshner grows beans, cucumbers, squash, lima beans, and last year there were likely looking plants of both muskmelons and watermelons growing on the hillside. It is patch of the Temperate Zone put down near the center of Alaska.

AGREES WITH ROOT
Believes That Attacks on Capital Are
Waning and Will Continue
To Do So.

Chicago. November 21.-Edward II. Har-
riman president of the Hartman system

Hartman said:
Whatever apparent disagreement might
have appeared between what Secretary
Root said and what | said is so infinitely
small as to be unworthy of notice. 1t is
an honor to me to agree with man of
such superior ability and commanding
intellect as Secretary Root" Continuing,

riman replied: 1T is the well-grounded
intention of the railroads to obey that
