There is great deal of complaint
about the high-speeding of automo-

car came dashing along Beretania
street from the Waikiki direction. II
was going lickety-split and there wa a

not.
A car was waiting on the switch near
the Hawaiian Hotel rear entrance and
in it was Chairman G.. w. Smith of the
Board of Supervisors. He saw the auto
approaching and got out into the road,
linking that when the chauffeur saw
lin he would stop. The machine was
going too fast to be pulled up, however.

The Superintendent of Public Works
has appointed George K. Kauhi pound
master at Kalapana, Hawaii. That, of
itself, is not much And the office of
poundmaster at Kalapana, Hawaii, is
not an Office of great distinction. Ka-
iapana itself is a remote little settle
ment of the Puma coast, remarkable in
the main for the things that it does not
have, chief among these being mosqui-
toes. 1t IS native settlement, most
primitive in it's manner and customs.
away from the world, and with little in
it that animals astray might harm.
But Kauhi-well, Kauhi is deserving.
Secretary Atkinson met the man, on
the trail between the Volcano House
and Kalapana, on his recent trip to Ha-
wall, and was led by the circumstances
OF that meeting and the personality of
the present appointee to ask Kauhi if
there was nothing that could be done
for him. Kauhi said that he was MAX
ing his living. He could always do
that. But, he had once applied, long
time ago, for the place of poundmaster
at Kalapana. He was a good Republi-
can. If that place was still open, as
he knew it was, it might ease his case
somewhat. Anyway, it would be less
hard than packing sweet potatoes over
the rough trail to the Volcano House at
fifty cents a day, which was the way
he made his living.
Secretary Atkinson promised to see
what could be done-and now he has
seen. Kauhi gets the place. And, if
you had seen the man, standing beside
saddled, although he has no hands, you
would have done what you could for
him, too.
Kauhi is not an ordinary man. He is
a native of that school that fears God
and does not offend the kahunas.
Wherefore is the wisdom of offending
any god? Kauhi has lived long at Ka-
lapana-or on the coast Immediately
along there. Of course he has fshed.
That is the occupation of many ma
tives. Well, forty years ago Kauhi was
in the prime of his youth. He is an
old man now, as may well be believed,
a strong, self-reliant old man, with
stumps where his hands were. Forty
years ago he was out in a canoe, fish
ing, off Kalapana when the boat was
by monster shark and upset.
The beast made for the men in the
water, and Kauhi struck at it and it bit
off his right hand He struck with his
eft, and the fish bit that off. Then he
Kicked at it, and, after tearing the
lesh on his leg horribly, it became
frightened and ran away. Half dead
rom pain and loss of blood, the man
made his way to shore, and after long
ickness got well.
Since then he has lived by his own |
,xertions. The office of poundmaster
will only make his life easier. He did |
lot complain because he did not get it |
t the first asking. He will perform its
Iuties faithfully, now that he has it.

vide Government for the Territory of
Hawaii" approved April 80. 1906, and
known locally as the Organic Act"
continues in force the existing local
land laws referred to in the New
lands Resolution" which local land
laws are contained in the Revised
Laws of Hawaii, access to which may
be had in the offices of the several De-
partments at Washington and in the
Congressional Library.
These local land laws give the Com
missioner of Public Lands of the Ter
rftory OF Hawaii arbitrary power, with
the consent or permission of the Gov
ernor, to sell or lease such parts or
portions of the public lands as he may
think fit, and at such price or prices
or upon such terms and conditions as
the arbitrary exercise of such arbitrary
power may dictate These sales, IL
sales are made. are at public auction,
but at not less than an arbitrary
upset" price previously fixed by the
Commissioner
The practical construction and ap-
plication of this elastic law are often |
times truly marvellous. For instance. !
IL n sugar plantation is DESTROYS of &C |
quiring title to a piece of public land |
situated in reference to |
its mill, it petitions the Commissioner
for leave to purchase the same and |
cffers $1,000 per acre for the land de-
sired, which amount is promptly fixed |
by the Commissioner as the upset"
price per acre. Tt may be that the
upset price per acre is the actual value
IF the land 70 the plantation. but the
actual value of the land may not be
more than $50 per acre on the open
market to IN actual bona fde settler.

NOT OPPOSING SUGAR.


am not opposed to the sugar in
dustry and believe that it, too, should
be fostered and encouraged, but not to
the exclusion of all others. The rails
ing of coffee conceded to be equal in
point of flavor to Old Government
Java, is beyond an experimental stage
in Hawaii; Hawaiian bananas and
pineapples, always find a ready mar
ket; sisal. tobacco and vanilla have

L s. Experiment Station of the De-
partment of Agriculture, that the soil
and climate of the several islands
comprising this Territory are emf
nently suited and adapted to the sue
cessfui raising of most, if not all, of
the domestic fruits, vegetables and
cereals of the Temperate and Torrid
Zones.
1t will, perhaps, be necessary to
modify the general land laws in their
application to the Territory of Hawaii,
because of the comparatively small
area of arabic land in this Territory
subject to redemption and homestead;
but the number of acres subject to
presumption and homestead by one
claimant could, I believe be limited
to one-eighth, and even to one-six-
teenth, of a section, without other
wise changing the terms of the law,
and I feel confident that the allot-
ments of even The smallest size indi-
Gated would find ready claimants.

tanning the area of public land in this
Territory subject to presumption and
homestead under the general land
laws, if extended to include Hawaii, |

partment at Washington could furnish
this information.

suggestion I have made may meet

QUAIL AT ZOO
MATCHES AN EGG

An interesting piece of pathological
news comes from the Kaimuki Zoo
Some Californian quail have been
kept or the premises for some time.
Yesterday morning Pongo, the cage
manager, ran to Proprietor Gear in a
great state of excitement, exciaiming:
Come quick, one lilly squail."
Gear fastened to the quail cage and
sure enough there was a little bird
being preened by it's proud mother.
Further investigation revealed be
tween twenty and thirty eggs laid in
a depression behind a board.
1t is a rare thing for quail TO breed
in captivity and the Zoo people are
accordingly highly elated.
1t was rumored last night that Gear
had purchased new toasting fork.

simply because we have no other in

AN EASY ARkANSAN.
StripIing Stripped of Seven Thousand DoIlars by Hot Springs Woman-
 Victim Was from lake Village.

Hot Springs, Feb. 1.-G. T. Stripling, an unsophisticated visitor from Lake Village, Ark. !, allowed himself to be victimized out of almost $7,000 by an at- tractive alleged St. Louis widow, who gave the name of Mrs. A. F. Bauer, and to whom he paid $6, 300 in cold cash without se- curity.
 After finding that the woman had boarded a train for the North, Stripling reported the matter to the police today. They can not order the woman held. even if she is located, they say, as Stripling himself says she simply borrowed the money.
 Stripling, who is about 55, be- came infatua,e ed with the woman, and says he lent her money for the ostensible purpose of start ing rooming-house. She prom ised, he asserts, to return in a few hours with first mortgage on the property as security, but instead departed on the next train for an unknown destina- tion.

Revival Meeting.

The large auditorium of the Methodist church was pretty well taxed Sunday at both services, the sermons being ably delivered by the visiting evangelist, Rev. w. M. Mcintosh.
 The sermon on the "Goodness of Gods Love" at II o'clock was one of the strongest sermons to the unsaved that has been preached during the meeting, and which resulted in many giv- ing their hands as pledges to live better life. The evening sermon was on the popular sins of the day, the speaker, using strong terms to express his be- lief as to the evils of such lives.
 The meeting is accomplishing great good and people are urged to attend.
 The music of the splendid choir under the direction of MT. C.. E. Crook, deserves much praise for it's excellence. The special music at both services Sunday was ably rendered and much enjoyed by the large congregation.
