100000 NAY BE
LOST TO KAHAUIKI
AND HONOLULU

The 100000 appropriation for en-
larging the quarters at Fort Shafter
and bringing them up to the require
ments of full battalion post, seems
likely to go glimmering and be COW
cred, unused, back into the treasury,
unless the business community gets in,
and by purchasing the leases of the rice
lands makai of the post quarters, re-
moves an obstacle that seems otherwise
insuperable.
The quarters at Fort Shafter were
originally designed for a two company
post of coast artillery. There are four
companies of infantry stationed at the
post now. Congress passed an appro-
priation of 100000 to enlarge the post
practically to duplicate the buildings
now there. Advertisements for bids
were advertised for and work was ex-
pected to begin soon after the first of
the year. But the advertisements for
bids are all off. Major Dunning, the
commahdant of the Fort, received a
cablegram within day or two, from
the war department, announcing that
the advertisements had been recalled,
and that the appropriation would not
be spent at this time.
The reason given for this action is
that the post surgeon has sent report
to the medical department of the army
stating that between the post quarters
and the sea there is large area of irri-
gated lands, rice lands and taro lands,
which are infested with mosquitoes,
and that among these mosquitoes have
been found some specimens of the spe-
cies which are the agency in spreading
yellow fever. In view Of this fact, the
post surgeon would not recommend fur
ther enlargement of the post until an
appropriation had been secured from
Congress to condemn and purchase the
outstanding leases on these rice fields,
so that they may be drained and there
after be no longer infested with mos
quitoes. The amount of appropriation
required for the purchase of these
leases is $4,000.
In view of this report the order for
the construction of additional quarters

Honolulu, Dec %, 1907.
Editor Advertiser: Your article in
this mornings issue apropos of the af-
fairs of the Onomea Sugar Co., while
correct in the abstract, appears to have
created wrong impression. What
you quote as having been sad by my
self may also be verbatim, but it may
be mentioned that your representative
called me up by phone at my house last
evening and obtained his information
over the wire, hence it was not very
full. The Onomea Sugar Co. has paid
its shareholders a dividend of 81 per
cent on its capital stock during the
year 1907. 1t has no bonded or floating
debt, in fact will carry over a margin
of funds against January expenses. The
company owns large part of its landed
estate in fee simple. 1t has this year
applied upwards of 100000 on improve
ments consisting of new mill, mill

CALVE LOOKS
FOR $4,000

Yes, have written Madame CaIve

gard to trip here and couple OF

and 1 am hoping for a response that
will make her coming certain.
But it is evident that the great
singer has some erroneous ideas re-
garding the size of Honolulu and the
seating capacity of our theaters. Her
letter shows that she has pretty gooi
business head. She suggests two con-
certs with seats at 81 each and that
the houses ought to each-be $4,000 or
$4,000 houses. OF course, such an
amount is not unreasonable in houses
like the Dreamland Rink. where she
has given concerts, in San Francisco
The Dreamland Rink will seat 5000
people. But the Hawaiian Opera
House at the very outside win only
seat about $50 people, so that it Is
clear that even at 81 a seat and every
seat sold, no such amounts as she
suggests can be realized, and, OF
course, the sale of every seat in the
house at "a can not be expected.
II have written her telling her the
seating capacity of the house and what
in my opinion can be expected.
have made her three separate offers
One was an offer to handle the con-
certs on purely percentage basis
Another was to handle it on a per-

her portion of the receipts would not
be less than a certain amount. The
third is an offer of a lump sum for
two concerts.
"Of course, I expect that my state
ment that no such gross receipts as
she speaks of are possible with our
seating capacity, and with a commu-
nifty of this size, will be a surprise to
her, and unless she really wants to
visit Honolulu anyway, may decide her
net to come, as, of course, the possi-
bilities here are not commensurate
with her earning capacity on the
mainland. But I have tried to pre-
sent to her the beauties of the place
and the pleasure she will undoubtedly
derive from visit here, and I have
hopes that she will come. If she does.
1t will certainly be the greatest event
in the musical and dramatic history
of the Hawaiian Islands. No other ar
fist of anything like her rank in her
profession ever made the trip special
~ to Honolulu. Most of the artists OF
note who have appeared here profess
sionally have been passing through.
ct believe, however, that II she comes
this community will recognize her ar
Listic reputation and will fill the Opera
House at both concerts"

DEATH IN ARIZONA OF
STUART BIRMINGHAM
From saturdays Advertiser.)


Tom Birmingham of Hall & Son, Ltd,
received the sad news Of the death
of his brother Stuart P. Birmingham,
Familiarity known as GERRY" in Ari-
IONA yesterday. Deceased was born in
New Zealand thirty-three years ago and
came to Hawaii nine years ago to join
his brother, who had preceded him. He
engaged in the employ of the Wilder
Steamship Co., as freight clerk, and
continued in the service of that COM
pany until nine months ago when he
withdrew to accept position as pur-
ser of the S. s. Texan in the American
Hawaiian line. A few months ago he
caught severe cold which settled on
his lungs and two months ago he was
advised by his physician to try the
climate of Arizona for the winter. He
took up his residence in Tempe and
died there yesterday. Three brothers
survive him in this Territory. "Jerry"
was one of the most popular of the
employees of the local steamship COM
pany and he leaves a host of mourners
of his sad death.

out of the 100000 appropriated there
for has been cancelled. This appro-
priation will lapse unless construction
under it is begun before June 80, next.
1t is doubtful if Congress can be in
duced to appropriate the $4,000 for
this purpose at this session. 1t would
probably insist or further information
regarding the matter, the report of a
medical board or commission. on the
subject, and all this would take time
There is therefore great danger that the
appropriation of 100000 for this pur-
pose already made may lapse.
1t is only within forty-eight hours
or less that these facts have been
known. But already the suggestion has
been made and has met with much
favor, that the business community
step in, purchase the leases and present
them to the United States army so
that the land may be drained and the
objection to further building which is
made in the report of the post surgeon
may be done away with.
The land occupied by these rice and
taro fields is owned by the United
States, subject to existing leases. These
have long term Of years yet to run.
When the leases expire the land would
naturally be devoted to the purposes
of the army post, If the leases could
be terminated sooner, the land could
that much sooner revert to the uses of
the army post. By purchasing the
leases and presenting them to the Uni
ted States, this is accomplished.
In the meanwhile, the appropriation
of 100000 is liable to lapse.
The matter is one of the greatest i'm
portance to the community at this time,
and it is probable that the matter will
be brought very shortly before both
the Merchants Association and the Ho-
nolulu Chamber of Commerce.
Captain Humphrey, the depot quar-
termaster in Honolulu, and who is also
the constructing quartermaster who
would have charge of the proposed
construction, is away on one of the
other islands or leave of absence for
a short time. He is expected back in
a few days.

engine, etc., and there are no extraor-
binary expenses of this nature in sight
for next year. On the whole the COM
pany is in first class condition in all
respects. What the program will be
as to payment of dividends I can not
say, much depending upon the progress
of marketing the crop and financial con-
ditions that may prevail along in the
spring.
There is no reason why Onomea share
holders should feel any anxiety, and
the cessation of dividends for the time
being, when it is considered what the
record of the past year has been, should
not be cause for worry or furry. The
coming crop must speak for itself; the
estimates as to output are as high as
were the estimates of year ago for the
crop of '07.
Yours truly,

GAzETTE BUSINESS
REQUIRES MORE ROOM

Commencing with the New Year, the
business office of the Advertiser will
be in it's new quarters on King street,
in the Waikiki portion of the prem
ises now occupied by Wall. Nichols
Company. change which will be ap-
preciated by the many having business
dealings with the Advertiser and the
Hawaiian Gazette Company generally.
The moving of the business depart
ment to the ground floor of the Ga
zette building will make, more room
for the editorial staff, which will move
from its present rather restricted quar-
tiers into the rooms at present used by
the business department. The present
editorial rooms will in turn be used
partly to enlarge the Gazette stock
room and partly for an enlargement
of the Advertiser library, which has
long since outgrown the room orig
inally set apart for it. In the new
editorial room a section will be set
apart for the editorial staff of the
Kuokoa, which has been crowded out
of the Gazette building for some
months.
The growth of the business of the
Gazette Company during the past year
has been extraordinary, considering
business conditions generally through
out the city, and for months practi-
cally every department in the mechan-
ical section of the business has been
overworked and behind in its orders.
The new machinery installed within
the past six months, and the shifting
around of the departments to allot
them additional room, has enabled
them to turn out quicker and better
work during the past month, however.
and the large number of orders in
have now been practically caught up
with.
One of the important additions to
the Gazette offices has been the fur
nishing of a new art and half-tone de-
partment. new machines and up-to-
date appliances having been installed.

LIQUOR DEALERS
MUST PAY FEES
CFrom saturdays Advertiser)

y (From Saturdays Advertiser)
There was a short meeting of the
Board of License Commissioners yes
The meeting was called to act on the
resignation of ]. A. Gilman, as secre-
tary of the board. The second install
ment of license fees must be paid
before the first of the year. These
fees are to be paid to the secretary OF
the board. But as Mr.. Gilman did
not want to have the trouble or re-
sponsibiIity of receiving these pay
ments, and as it would be more con-
venient for all concerned that they be
payable at the capitol, Mr.. Gilman re-
signed and Territorial Treasurer Camp
bell was reelected, having been secre-
tary before he went east to arrange
for the bond issue.
The law requires the instruments Of
license fees to be paid in advance and
provides that while any instalment re-
mains unpaid the license is automat-
ically suspended, and if the licersee
sells anything while his license is thus
suspended, he is liable to all the penal
ties of Illicit selling. and his license
may be revoked, further suspended or
he be reprimanded as the board shall
see fit
The construction that the board
places on this is that the second in
stalment of license fees must be paid
not later than December 81. If any
saloonkeeper fails to pay by that time
he cannot legally keep his place open
or do business on New Years day. This
gives practically but three days in
which to pay these licenses.

MUCH HAWAIIAN TALKED

Throughout last nights meeting
there was an unusual amount of Ha-
waiian used among the members in
their debates, nearly one-third of all
the remarks made being in that Ian

it himself among the first, which
handicapped him later when he wanted
to call the other members down. Once
or twice he gently tapped for order,
but in that particular little attention
was paid to him.
Supervisor Harvey was the worst Of
fender in this respect, Archer being a
close second, the two debating at
length at times over points at issue.
