STEEL RODS FOR
 BRIDGE ARRIVE

The steel rods to be used to strengthen the Poplar street bridge have arrived, and they will be in stalled by the city at once The city fathers recently decreed that instead of letting the contract for the build ing of this bridge they would have it done by day labor under the sup ervision of the city engineer, and it will be quite an experiment. The rods were made to order and Mai. Parkes thinks that this will remedy all the trouble which has been caus- ed the city recently.

THE LANDS
ACTING GOVERNOR MOTT-sMITH
AND LAND COMMISSIONER J. w.
PRATT BACK FROM HAWAII

Acting Governor Mott-Smith and
Land Commissioner Pratt arrived home
this morning from the Big Island
where they went the first of the week
to look into some land matters, es-
pecially as relates to the expiration OF
leases on some 1000 acres of Terri
torial lands at present held by the Lau-
pahoehoe Sugar Company. The Land
Commissioner spent most OF his time in
looking after routine matters pertain
ing to his office at Hilo, while the Act
ing Governor spent the two days of his
stay principally in Laupahoehoe max
ing careful study of the land and
economic conditions involved in the
future leasing of the Territorys prop
erty.
The leases which expire shortly have
been in force since 1890, and the rental
paid is 40 cents per acre. This figure
very inadequately represents the value
of the land. Acting Governor Mott
Smith stated this morning that he had
not done more than make a careful
study of conditions, much of which is
in the shape of notes and figures, which
he has not had time to digest, and that
he has arrived at no conclusions as
yet from his observations. He ex-
poets to devote himself to the matter
Immediately.
From what has heretofore been stat
ed to be the policy of the land Office
and approved by the Governor, the
rental value of lands is to ascertained
on percentage of the appraised value
of the lands in question per acre Six
precent is the figure that has been
used in some instances at least, al
though the administration has stated
that it is not bound by any hard and
fast rules, and governs itself in de-
parting from this basis of value ac-
cOrdlng to circumstances which may
effect the matter, to the ends that the
welfare of the Territory is best con
served, according to their best opinion.
With an exception of small per-
.centage, the 5000 acres of the Lau-
pahoehoe land is in cultivation for cane
and will probably not appraise a value
of less than $50 or $75 per acre.
The government land leased by the
Laupahoehoe Plantation comprises per-
haps two thirds of the entire holdings
of the company.

ALL IS RIGHT
As RIGHT CAN Be
BASEBALL MANAGERS GET TO-
GETHER AND THE TEAMS WILL
SOON PLAY BALL.

Peace reigns among the baseball
players, and all the supposed trouble
between Pat Gleason and Mique Fisher
has been arranged to the complete
satisfaction Of both parties. The
Saint Louis team, the same tnat won
the Japanese championship this year,
will face Fishers All Stars on Tues
day afternoon, December L. the en-
tire proceeds of the game going to the
coast players
The peace treaty was signed yester-
day, and the public who have been
waiting for chance to see the Saints
in action will be rewarded. The
game will be played at three o'clock
and there is a movement on foot to
have the merchants give their en-
ployees a half holiday as any number
of people would like to get off and
see the final game of the year The
Coast players through their manager,
Mique Fisher, thank the Saint Louis
team as well as Charley Falk and Pat
Gleason for the kind offer made to
them and will endeavor to show their
appreciation by playing fast baseball
A big dance is to be given to the
coast team on the same night at one
of the hotels, and probably the largest
crowd that has been to a dance this
year will be on hand to say good bye
to the coast team. During their stay
they have made many friends, who
will be very sorry to see them go. 1t
is very possible that the same team
will be here again next year, that is
if the necessary arrangements can be
made

SETTLERS
PETITION
KAIWI ASSOCIATION OF HAWAII
PRESENTS REQUEST TO THE
ACTING GOVERNOR.

During Acting Governor Mott-Smith' s
stay in Hawaii he was waited upon by
a committee of the members of the
Kaiwi Land Settlement Association,
which has organized and petitioned the
Government for the setting apart to
them of some 1850 acres of land, or
about so acres each to the 30 members
comprising the organization. They
were informed that the matter would
probably not be acted upon before the
return of Governor Frear from Wash
inston.
Mr.. Mott-Smith states that the land
upon which the association proposes
to settle might be available for cane.
but it is known to be first class pine
apple land, and capable Of producing
great variety Of other crops. A
pineapple was shown him which weighs
eight pounds, and was perfect fruit.
The members Of the association are
for the most part native Hawaiians.
with some Portuguese and a number
of haoles. There is no assurance,
that the settlement plans will be car
ried out, as the governor at one time
placed himself on record as not gen
orally favoring this form of land settle
ment, holding that the intent of the
law authorizing it was especially for
the benefit of immigrant parties com
