DIAMOND HEAD
j. 5. PROPERTY

1t may be a surprise to the people
of Honolulu now, as it certainly was
to Governor Carter and his official
| family a short time ago, to be inform
ed that the United States Government
has taken possession of Diamond Head
or all of it which was Territorial pub
lie land at the time of taking, and
that is practically the whole promon-
tory and its crater.
Also it is reported that the whole of
Punchbowl, other than private home
sites held in fee simple upon its slopes,
and Round Top entire, with the same
exception, have been taken for Federal
purposes.
Governor Carter was asked about this
matter over the wire last night and
made n statement in reply substantially
as follows:
"By a proclamation Of President
Roosevelt on January 20 last, the
Lighthouse Board took the whole of
Diamond Head for lighthouse purposes.
"We had started in to sell some land
there, thinking it was Government land,
when we were informed by Federal Off
eials that it had come into possession
of the United States as stated. On
making inquiry in Washington we
found that it was even so. Yet we
had never been officially informed of
the intention to take the land. How
much more land was acquired we do
not know.
81 made representations to Presi-
effect that it was unfair that the public
lands should be taken right and left,
in some eases without apparent neces-
sity and no notice given to the Gov
ernment of the Territory until the acts
were accomplished.
"The President has agreed that he
will not issue any more proclamations
to take lands until the Governor has
been notified of the intention and given
an opportunity to offer objections. OF
course the President valves none of
his authority in the matter, but is will
ing to consider argument for and
against the necessity of the land to
Federal uses.
There is quite a lot of land which
the United States Government has TAX
en- which it does not need. told the
President that we would always be
willing to give as much land as they
needed for immediate use
"The President has as much as
agreed that lands heretofore taken,
which the United States has no pres
ent or prospective use for, will be
turned back to the Territory
1t is an old story that the Governor
has been urging on the Washington
administration, for long time past,
the return of the $4,000 acres of splen-
did agricultural land of Lcilchua, taken
for military reservation, also that

BY kauai PEOPLE

LIHUE, May THE Kauai allot-
ment of the Spanish immigrants ar
rived by the Heliopolis came down tC
the several plantations on this island
| last week and are now settled in theii
new environments.
The unanimous opinion of all who
have seen them pronounces them to bt
the most promising lot of immigrants
that have come to Hawaii for many
years, nearly all of them being young
strong men and women of an apparent
ly sunny and satisfied disposition. They
seem to be cleanly and Industrious. as
they lost no time in cleaning up their
now homes and going to work in the
fields.
There are an unusual number of wo-
men and children among the new ar
rivals, a fact which augurs well for
their remaining whore they once set
tie down.
The fea .ures oe the new residents
show evident traces of the Morse blood
their blue eyes AMI lighter shade OF
hair having come down to them from
the old vikings who were permanent
or temporary residents of the coasts OF
the Mediterranean.
A Waimea correspondent says: THE
district received number of new resi-
dents last Wednesday. Spaniards from
the Heliopolis Eeraha and Makaweli
were both allotted fine people. Out of
the &c who came to Kekaha only one
man was unmarried. the balance was
made up of Is families.
''Kekaha plantation is putting up a
number OF nice new cottages for the
new Spanish laborers. They are locat-
ed opposite the mill and will be con-
veniently near both to factory and
the railroad.'-Garden Island
wAIMEA, kauai, ITEMS.
LIHUE. May Mr.. Hlme started
off on his five months vacation last
Friday. He will try to recuperate at
Lake Tahoe most of the time, but ex-
poets to see little of the Golden State
as well.
DIR. Sandow will start tomorrow to
join Mr.. Hime in Honolulu. They are
both booked for the Mongolia, Mr..
Hime having taken the precaution to
put his name down as far back as in
the beginning of February, but neither
of them have great hopes of being ac-
commodated. They will probably have
to wait for the departure of the Sierra.
DR.. Armitage Will take care of Dr.
Sandow's practise during the latter's
absence. DR. Armitage is an old ac-
quaintance in Waimea, having been
DR.. Campbell's substitute at that post
of duty thirteen years ago.
C. B. Hofgaard is acting as substi-
tute for Hime while the latter is alb
sent. To get TO the office in time he
has had to take up his abode with H.
Box and seems 10 thrive in the new
quarters. The only thing that bothers
him is the mill whistle at 430 and S,
and his own alarm at $50.
All the tunnels on the new ditch are
now completed with the exception of
No. TO- The pipeline is now brought
right down to the main road and sew
eral hydrants have been put in. The
big eight inch pipe which is to be
the first part OF the line is, however,
not yet at hand, owing to the fact that
1t had to be ordered at Pittsburg.
School Inspector Baldwin visited the
schools of the district last week and
found them all working after the shut
down on account of measles.

MILITARY TAXES.

The committee on finance of the Gen. eral Assembly have submitted in favor able report new plan for the collection of poll and military taxes, which pro- vides jail penalty for the delinquent if he does not pay within three years after the tax becomes due and payable. The act as presented is to take effect up on it's passage, and if passed would have bearing on the present unpaid taxes. It is well known that few of the people liable to pay this tax, outside of those who hand in their tax lists, ever pay any attention to the law regarding this tax In the smaller towns of the state it has been enforced in way, but the larger cities have never tried or been able to enforce it. It is true that the ex- isting law gives them the power to do so, but outside of the mailing of tax bills, little has been done, and the cities have gone on regularly paying over to the state the amount due, without collecting it themselves. Whatever power the pro- posed law will give, the existing law is efficient if it were enforced.

FARM CONFERENCES.

The department of agriculture hopes to instill new life into the farms and the farmers through bulletin soon to be issued on modern conveniences for the farm, in which will be shown methods by which farms may be brought up to date, with "all the modern convent. ences."
 Of course there is no reason why many conveniences enjoyed in city homes can not be adapted for farm use. Running water by means of tank supplied through hydraulic ram or a windmill is easily obtainable and at no great ex- pense, and furnaces which burn wood can heat a farmhouse adequately at small cost
 The bathroom is not necessarily for eign to the farm, though the wooden tub beside the kitchen stove on Satur- day night will probably continue to fill the bill for some years to come. In fact, it is a question if the genuine farmer will take to Improvements with enthusi- asm. The farmer is conservative and

THE BERKSHIRE TAG.

The Pittsield newspapers never let an opportunity slip to extoll the merits of things that bear the Berkshire brand. And it's right. We admire their loyalty. It conforms exactly to THE NEWS idea that a newspaper should give publicity to the advantages, the products and the attractions of the territory in which it circulates. We opine that this constan- cy on the part of the Pittsfeld press has been one of the prime factors in gaining for Berkshire county the fame it enjoys today But now let's look into the flu ture and suppose thing or two. Sup sider that under er-no-circumstances deei. sion and Senator Crane should be nomi- mated and elected. Imagine the fits of ecstacy the Pittsfeld papers would throw and who could blame them? Think what it would mean to that section to have president of the United States circulating about in Washington, in the White House and in the Capitol wearing tag bearing the inscription, "A Berk- shire Product" or Reared in Berk- shire,'' or "You have n't seen it all un- til you I've seen Berkshire," or 1.-The Balloon goes up and Presidential Timber grows up, in Berkshire or Berkshire raises everything, including Presidents. , Any of these would do and none of them are copyrighted as yet.
 And you can bet your goloshes that The Eagle and The Journal would insist that he wear that tag where it could be seen at all times.

Look about the premises and make 6 list of the things you no longer need and which you desire to sell. There's & fellow somewhere who does want them and NEWS Cent-a-word advertisement will find him.
 There is at least one good and suffi- cient reason why you should have your posters printed by THE NEWS and that is because you get free advertisement of your sale in the CONNECTICUT WEST ERN NEWS and THE SHARON NEWS. Doz- ems of pairs of eyes that don't see the posters will see the advertisement.
