THE land POLICY.
COMPLAINT ABOUT THE KAPAPALA DEAL DEFEATED MEM
BERs OF SETTLEMENT ASSOCIATION TURNED
DowN-GovERNoR FREAR FAVOR SETTLE
MENT' 'AssoCIATONs-CAN RECOVER

The Star has received another pro-
test, from Hilo, against the big Kappa
pala land lease, regarding which there
has been considerable discussion. 1t
was announced two days ago that Land
Commissioner Pratt had received APP
plications for the land, from parties
whose names would not be given out
and that the applications had been
turned down. The applications, it APP
pears were from proposed Settlement
Associations and according to one OF
the members we're ignored altogether
by the land Office.
There were two Settlement Associa-
tions formed in Hilo," said one of the
members. "and they were ready last
March to bid for the land and settle on
it One Association of eight members
wanted $500 acres of grazing land and
another wanted 200 acres for each
member. The members were and are
still ready to settle on the land, but
they have not even had an answer to
their application The first knew of
the applications being denied was
when | read it in The Star.
THE reason given was that there
is no road to the parts of land applied
for and that il would cost too much to
make one The old Peter Lee road is
there and it is sufficient for the set
tiers. Anyhow, they are ready to set
tie.
Another reason given for leasing the
10000 acres in one lump to it's present
holders is that if we are allowed our
pieces of land, the rest cannot be leas-
ed. This is absurd. The great tract
ought to be cut up and settled and
there are people ready to do It, but
they cannot even get a hearing"

Governor Frear was asked this morn
ing with regard to the complaint made
by members of the Settlement Associa-
ton The Governor stated that the
matter of the application of the Asso-
citation had been given due considera-
ton and that there are a number OF
reasons which he had considered as
sufficient for not opening the tract at
the present time. The question of a
road into the place, the lack of which
Commissioner Pratt had laid consider
able stress, and which a representative
OF the proposed Settlement Association
claims is not factor, as they see it,
did not have especial weight with him,
so said Governor Frear, in comparison
with other considerations
In the first place said the Cover
nor, the kipukas in question at the
present time are almost absolutely es-
sential, to the value of the Kapapala
tract for ranch purposes. 1t is certain
that to remove them from the tract at
the present time would greatly lessen
its value and the amount of revenue
the Territory may expect to get for
the entire property These kipukas
hold to the Kapapala tract much the
same relation a spring of water would
hold to tract of arid country, and in
the latter case no one would advise
selling the spring to two or three in
dividuals when the value OF a great
area of country would be lost as re-
suit.
Again: these kipukas which have
been applied for have been developed
by the company which hopes to again
secure the ranch, for fattening pad
docks, at considerable time and ex-
pense. This has been done by planting
new grasses and keeping stock off them
while it was started 1t would scarce
ly look fair to take these paddocks
thus developed without giving them
time to develop others, which / under
stand could be done. By the terms OF
the lease which is given on the tract
the Territory has the right at any time
during the life of the contract to SET
apart any part or quantity of land
which may be desirable for settlement
and if it hereafter seems advisable tc
so use these hpukas we may be able
to do so just as we'll as at present but
It would be right to give the ranch
company holding the lease reasonable
time to make other arrangement"
Governor Frears strongest argu
ment, and the one on which he LAID
the most emphasis, was that the policy
of his administration was, generally
speaking, opposed to Settlement Asso
Citations.
The objects of the Association
which proposed to settle the Ohaikei
kupika," said Governor Frear, ma,
have been perfectly bonafide and sin
cere, but generally speaking, l am no
in favor Of Settlement Associations Il

REGARD IT
UNfRIENDLY
Or Look Upon Ii As a Menace If the
Atlantic Fleet Was Sent to the

WASHINGTON, July 2.-"No,
Japan would not regard it as an UNI
friendly act if the American govern
ment saw fit to increase her naval
representation in her territorial
waters on the Pacific coast, or even
if she sent additional men of war to
the Asiatic stations. She would not
look upon it as menace or regard
it with regret"
These were the words of Viscount
Aoki, the Japanese ambassador to
the United States, when his attention
was called today to the published re-
ports that the general board of the
navy had recommended to the presi-
dent that the battleships of the At
lantic fleet be sent around to the Pa
cific coast At the same time the
ambassador expressed great deal OF
interest in the stories printed and
asked if they were true. He dis
liked, he said, to appear in the pub
lie prints when there was no reason
for it, but he felt at perfect liberty
to say what he did on this subject.

DIEPPE RACE COURSE TRIB-
UNE, July 2.-The grand prix of the
Automobile Club of France was won
today by Felice NaZzaro, the Italian
champion, against field of 3S en-

w. c. Christie, the American par

chine, had trouble early in the race
and did not figure among the leaders.
Dieppe was crowded with visitors
and fully $4,000 people saw the
start. The route was lined by spec
tators at all points of vantage, but
owing to the excellent precautions
taken the entire course being pa
trolled by total of 5000 soldiers,
there were no fatal accidents and
only one minor collision was record
ed The race was one of the hard
est fought and fastest automobile
contests ever run. The roadway,
with a few dangerous turns and
many rapid curves, was in excellent
condition. The full course was ten
times around the triangle.
Mizzaro competed in the Wander
bilt cup races of October IA, 1905,
and October 6, 1906, in the United
States, but failed to finish on either
occasion

Fire mt Roosevelt Dam,

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 2.-Word
was received yesterday from Roose-
welt of the burning late last Friday
afternoon of a power house owned
by Contractor O'Rourke, who is en-
gagged in the construction of the
Roosevelt storage dam. The loss is
estimated at $4,000. The building
sheltered machinery used in the OPP
Grating of huge cable across Salt
River canyon. The burning of the
house released the big cable from it's
moorings and it fell into the excava-
ton below, with the huge cages OPP
Grated upon it. Warning was
given and none of the two hundred
men employed in the ditch were in
iured.
The fire was started by the friction
of brake igniting oil around the
machinery. The cable was en-
ployed for carrying rock, cement and
machinery to the dam site, and the
most serious feature of the fire is
that the work on the dam will be
retarded few weeks, although not
stopped entirely.

CONTRACT
JAPANESE
FOR MEXICO

Ell PASO, July 2.-Masao Kambe
representative ofthe Japanese gov
eminent, who, under direct order of
the Emperor of Japan, has been the
last three years touring the world
studying and reporting on socio-
logical problems, arrived here from
Mexico yesterday
In an interview with the Asso-
ciated Press, he stated that the in
fiux of Japanese into Mexico was the
work of Japanese labor supply COM
panies, who are engaged in supplying
contract labor for the Mexican enter
prises. That the Japanese on their
arrival there, found themselves de-
ceived by the companies sending
them out and becoming dissatisfied,
sought homes in the United States, or
tried to reach Japan, via Vancouver.
He stated that in his reports to his
government, he recommended the i'm
mediate adjustment of these COM
panies. He stated that he was en-
route to San Francisco, to investi-
SdIe duuiepoII upOu Tie IeCeHI IIOu-
bles there. He also stated that the
educated and enlightened people of
his country do not entertain a
thought of war with America, who is
recognized as friend who led them
into civilization and whose sympa-
thy encouraged their efforts to maxi
their nation power. All the talk
of war in Japan, he said, was due
either to ignorance or desire to
make political capital
Mr.. Kambe leaves tomorrow for
San Francisco, and expects to reach
Japan in August. He is highly edu-
Gated and has the confidence of his
government.
