On account of the early freeze and

over the state fair fails to stand the
test of termination when tried prac-

CAPT. sEABURY's ROMANCE.

Fifty years at sea, a great part of
the time navigating through the
treacherous waters of the Pacific, amid
the dense fogs of this coast and over
the typhoon-swept routes of the Orient,
but never did he fail to bring his ship
into port. Such was the record of Cap
tain William B. Seabury, who met with
an accident on land that shortened his
life. on the eve OF the holiday season,
just as he was getting ready for his
last voyage. A potent, picturesque
personality was this seasoned old vet
eran of the seas, the irony of whose
fate was that after defying the perils
of the deeps for half a century, he
should stumble over a twig on dry land
accident ever befell ship that Cap
tain Seabury commanded, he was not
denied the thrill that comes with the
foundering of a vessel When he was
only twenty years of age-that was
forJy-five years ago-he was sailor
before the mast getting trained in
hardship on the Coast Of Japan. It
was then that he experienced the hor-
rors of shipwreck, and of that expert
ence he was Economically reminded
pregnant with memories of the distant
past. One day while visiting a factory
In Japanese village near the coast
he was suddenly startled by the sound
OF bell. 1t was the bell that sum-
moned the employees of the factory to
their meals. There was something in
the resonant tones that awakened
strange sensations in the old sailor.
Gradually he became conscious of the
fact that the clangor had an effect on
him akin TO an old melody he had not
heard in years His curiosity aroused,
he inspected the bell and found that
In the metal was cast the word wi
king" the name of the old ship that
was wrecked so many years ago. He |
told the proprietor of the factory the |
history of the bell. and the Jap said |
that he was importing from America a |
steam whistle and that as soon as ii /
arrived he would present the bell 10 |
Captain Seabury. About two years ago /
Captain Seabury received a big box /
from Japan and when he opened il he
found that il contained the old ships l
bell. He shipped 1t to his ranch near
GuerneviIle, suspended il in a tree near
his house and whenever he was in the
mood. which was quite often, he evok-
ed from his ancient toy sweet music
that was doubtless most refreshing TO
his sOul--News-Letter.

CONTROL OF LAND BY
CONTROL OF ITS WATER

Editor Advertiser: On the surface
that sale OF a wild mountain top to
Walter McBryde. with the condition
of his clothing il with forest, looks
very well But when your account of
the deal goes on TO say that the only
purpose Of the sale is Ito conserve the
forest and the water supply" and then
that the lot sold is part of 1900 acres
of cane. kula and mountain land
worth $3.50. O00. of which a 50-year lease
to the McBryde Sugar Co. will expire
on February Is. 1909. a query is sug-
gested
Does this sale of mountain land,
maybe in itself agriculturally useless,
convey the key to the value of the
rich lands below from its command OF
the water situation?
II there Is water from that mountain
worth conserving for McBryde's, is it
not worth preserving for the settlers
who ought to be placed on the lands
when the lease expires?
According to Judge De Bolts deci-
sion in the Lanai case this Kauai sale
is Illegal. He shows that the law for
bids any disposal Of public lands under
a lease having more than two years to
run INQUIRER.

GOOD HUSTL|NG FOR
!. NJ. {. A. MEMBERSHIP

IT am at work now on plan to add
greatly to the membership of the z.
NJ. c. A. said Paul Super, the secre-
tary of that institution, yesterday.
Since coming to Honolulu Mr.. Super
has, by his hustling, infused new life
into the organization, bringing seven
ty-nine new members il. in addition
to securing the renewals of practically
all the old members since September
I last. But he is a long ways from
being satisfied even with this showing.
THE latest plan being adopted by all
the Y. NJ. c. AS around the world is
what is called the thirty-day plan
That is, to set your mark and then
reach it within the thirty days. In the
raising of funds for our work this has
been very successful. In Baltimore the
Association raised fund of $411,0O0 In
thirty days for their new building. In
Kansas City thirty days canvass
brought in $500 600 for a similar pur-
pose, and in the Colonies, where a like
plan was adopted, the Sydney Y. M. C.
A. raised fifteen thousand pounds.
Here in Honolulu we are not going
out after money, but after members.
nor are we going to give ourselves SO
long as thirty days. One day will be
our time and one hundred members our
limit. This day will be some time IN
February, and / believe that We will
go out on that day and bring in the
one hundred names and the annual fee
for each.
Tomorrow night our members are
going to have their regular roundup.
These meetings are strictly social at
fairs and are most popular among the
boys. The last roundup was the big
gest meeting ever held by the Honolulu
Y. NJ. c. A.
This afternoon there will be an in
teresting discussion in the assembly
room, led by DIR. Scudder and Rev. G. !
D. Edwards, who will present the at
firmative side of the question as to
man may hold modern sci /
entific views and still be a Christian.
In the near future A. Gartley has ,
agreed to lecture to our members on
and we are going TO Or
ganize camera club among our mem
bers after the lecture. Mr.. Gartley
knows his subject thoroughly. theoret-
Cally as well as practically, and knows
too how to present it IN a most inter- /.
ast1ng way. He is an enthusiastic am
ateur photographer and the exhibition
Of his work given n short time ago In
he rooms of the Promotion COMMITTEES
shows that amateur work can be not
1 whit behind that of the best profess
SIGNALS.
Taking it altogether. our work is
going ahead very satisfactorily, not %
asst as l could wish, but perhaps as
ast as I have any reason to expect"

INJUNCTION
STANDS FIRE
Judge De Bolt Strongly
Holds Lanai Deal
Illegal.

Judge De Bolt, in lengthy decision
on Saturday morning, overruled the
demurrer Of James w. Pratt, Commits
sioner OF Public Lands, to the bill in
equity for an injunction brought
against him by L. L. McCandless.
He allows the respondent ten days
"to file such further or other answer
or pleading to the bill as he may be
advised, otherwise the writ to be made
permanent" This would appear to
leave an opening for further fighting
of the Injunction by Attorney General
Peters and Deputy Attorney General
Milverton, but the next to the conclud-
ing paragraph of the decision leaves 1t
hard to see any line within the law
as Judge De Bolt finds ton which
there is anything left to be said,
unless in the appellate court For
this is the sweeping statement of the
judges conclusions:
Having reached the conclusion that
the facts set forth in the bill are suffi-
cient to warrant a decree for the relief
prayed for, and that the complainant
had the right to bring this suit, as well
as the right to maintain the same, and
that the proposed exchange of the pub
lie lands described in the bill for other
lands is unlawful. Illegal and unwar-
ranted. the demurrer, therefore, is
overruled-"

Investigation Shows Lack of System
in the Treasurer's Office.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
VIENNA, Va, December 4. 1907.
A meeting of the town council was held
last night with Mayor J. w. Echols pre-
siding, the following members being pres
ent: DR.. A. G. Coumbe, w. H. Bowman.
A. E. Corning, w. A. Trigg, A. L. Cross,
Rev. F. w. Fisher and Joseph Berry. A
committee composed of Mayor Echols. DR..
Coumbe and Mr.. Corning, appointed to
audit the treasurer's accounts, reported
that the books have been thoroughly ex-
amined and that irregularities, evidently
due to unsystematic methods of account
ing, were found. The committee further
reported that every doubtful entry in the
books of the former treasurers of the
corporation has been fully investigated
and the funds properly accounted for by
the former treasurer, the books at present
exhibiting an absolutely correct state of
the finances of the corporation.
A resolution was passed making 1t the
duty of the treasurer to report at each
monthly meeting of the council the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the month, and
also making it his duty to publish and
distribute an annual financial statement
It was reported to the council that the
delinquent tax list is completed, having
been prepared in order that proper legal
action may be instituted against property
upon which taxes have not been paid.
The resignation of L. D. Day as men,
