INTEREST IN THE
KAPAPALA LANDS
When the Lease Is Offered
There May Be Many
Bidders.

HILO, August 23.-Interest is grow
ing here i'll the sale of the KapapaIa
ranch land which will be offered at
auction on Monday, September 9th, at
the Judiciary building in Honolulu.
It is probable that, when the lease
is offered by Land Commissioner
Pratt, the land will not be allowed to
remain in the hands of the present
occupiers without a struggle, even il
they do not lose some part, perhaps
all of it. At the Sub-Agent's land
office in Hilo there have been several
inquiries made for detailed informa-
ton of the lease, and the steps neces-
sary to be taken in advance of the
sale. AS the land is not within the
jurisdiction of Agent Williams, he de-
clines to furnish the names of the
parties applying to him, though giving
them every assistance in his power.
That there are three distinct parties,
on the island OF Hawaii, discussing the
project, is known here, but whether
any or all of them will bid for the
leases cannot be told till the day of
the sale. All of them are working
quietly and observing; the utmost
secrecy.
There is also a rumor that an asso-
citation has been formed, by a hui"
of six, to bid for the property.

d. e. Metzger, superintendent of the
Hilo Railroad Company, returned from
Honolulu by the last Kinau after a

ago intending to return at once, but
while in Honolulu he not only waS
robbed of his watch and his money,
but was also laid up with a severe at
tack of grippe. He left his valuables
and also fifteen or twenty pounds of

VOLCANO LOTS
FOR HILO FOLK
Surveys Being Made Now and
Lots Will Be Sold
Very Soon.

HILO, August 23.-Engineer Thomas
E. Cook is now on the mountain sur
veying the lots on the Volcano road,
which the Territorial Department OF
Public Lands proposes shortly to offer
for sale. There has been some delay
in proceeding with this sale because it
was first necessary to effect an ex-
change of land with Commissioner
Charles B. Furneaux, whereby right
of way could be secured, so that all
the lots should have a frontage on a
Government road. But as this ex-
change has been completed, the work
of survey will soon be finished.
The lots to be offered are within
about two miles of the Volcano House
The land is mostly lava, absolutely
worthless for agricultural or pastoral
purposes, except perhaps a stray patch
here and there, and the lots are to be
sold simply for mountain residences,
where cottages can be erected so that
people in Hilo can go up there for a
vacation, or from Saturday to Monday.
Some of the lots may be purchased by
people in Honolulu, who will be glad to
have a place where their families can
spend a few weeks near the volcano.
1t is the intention of Land Commits
sioner Pratt to offer 1.-THE Volcano
Lots at cash sale with no conditions
or strings of any kind attached to
them. The highest bidder will get each
lot, paying cash for it and securing his
patent. They will probably be offered
at a nominal valuation, five to ten dol
lars an acre, and be parceled out into
fiVe-acre lots.

bank for short distance the foreman
found a giant redwood tree that had
fallen across the river Fortuna
the tree was hollow. and, making a

the cattle through the log to the other
side
"As the cattle had not been counted
for several days. one of the cowboys
was stationed to count them as they
emerged from the log. The count fell

time a distant lowing was heard.

FEEDING SHEEP ON s14 HAY
Yakima Valley Stockmen Find It Cost.
ly to Keep Herds From
Starving.

NORTH YAKIMA, Feb. This
winter has been a hard one on the
stockmen, particularly those who are
in the sheep business. The coming of
the snow has compelled large numbers
of sheep in the valley to be fed daily
for weeks and if it continues much
longer there will be much money lost
in the industry.
One sheep man paid s14 ton for
wheat hay to keep his flock from
starving, and this was done so SPAR
ingly that the sheep will be in bad con-
dtion when spring breaks.
The year has been bad one from
the sheepmans view point. The
drouth last summer prevented the
grass On the hills in the lower valley
from starting in time for the fall graz
ing.
Thus it was that they had to begin
feeding early. For many winters in
the past it has not been necessary to
feed hay with the exception of two or

GOES AFTER PAPER TRUST
John Sharp Williams Declares It Costs
Too Much to Buy Libraries
At This Time.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. Some
months ago three of the largest news
papers of the middle west organized a
pool, purchased a pulp mill in Maine,
capitalized it at $6,O0O,00O and began
the manufacture of their own paper.
1t was stated at the time this was
done that the papers, each of which
consume tons upon tons of paper an
nually, might escape the clutches of
the paper trust which. it was claim
ed, was yearly increasing the cost of
this material so essential to the press
of the country. Congress, through the
bureau of corpora tons has devoted
much time to the investigation of some
of the trusts that have to do with
articles of general consumption, and
reports of great interest have from
time to time been submitted to con-
gress. The character of these reports
is judged from the recent Illuminating
discussion of the operations of the
Standard Oil company.
But John Sharp Williams, minority
leader of the house, a great student
of literature and an inveterate reader
of newspapers believes the paper trust
has increased the cost of printed mat
ter to those who want reading matter
and are attempting to buy libraries
themselves, and he proposes to have
this organization investigated if con-
eress will agree. A resolution he has
offered directs the department of COM
merce and labor to investigate this So
called paper trust and report to what
extent the understood agreement be-
tween the mills forming this trust, has
operated to stiffen competition. fix the
price of paper and the means employed
ty the trust to keep up the prices that
have resulted in increased cost of raw
material to the publishers and, neces-
sarily an increased expenditure for
every man who takes a pepper or buys
book.

three weeks. There was always plenty
of grass on the hills.
But when the grass failed the stock
men were confronted with the PROPOSE
ton of feeding or disposng of their
stock. With hay continually rising in
price the situation became more Sc
riOus than was anticipated. Hereto
fore hay seldom went above SIS or So
in the stack in the lower valley. Now
it costs the feeders not less than S12
in the stack.
Il am now feeding 5000 head of sheep
in the Horse Heaven country on straw
hay that cost me SIS per tOn," said
James Wright in talking about the
subject the other day to a Republic re-
porter. Il will come out all right pro-
viding the winter does not last too
long. There is now more snow in the
Horse Heaven country than ever saw
there before. 1t ought to make good
wheat. The land will be thoroughly
soaked when the snow melts and the
crop ought to be the best ever grown
in that district.
II am not the only sheep man who
has to pay high prices for feed this
winter. Usually we do not expect to
feed much in the winter time. but
conditions are such that we are COM
PEELED to pay the high prices asked or
