NO DRY DOCKS FOR
FLEET IN THE PACIFIC

WASHINGTON, July 27.-An anus
department as a result of its deter
mination to send the battleship fleet
to Pacific waters. There are no ade-
quate docking facilities on that side
of the continent, and unless the gov
eminent can make use of private docks
it will be absolutely necessary to have
a few months after its arrival in the
far east.
There is the big dock Dewey at
Olongapo in the Philippine islands, but
as yet there are no shops to amount
to anything on shore at Subig bay,
nor an adequate number of workmen
to take care of the ordinary repairs
and to scrape the bottom of a battle
ship. The one dock at Mare island is
too small to take battleships, and the
only one which is in any way equip
ped is that at Puget sound, Washing
ton.
1t is expected that one result of
sending the fleet to the Pacific waters
will be to call attention in a striking
way to the failure of congress and the
visions for the Pacific fleet. There
ought to be a full docking plant at
Hawaii, and there ought to be, as is
conceded by practically every member
of the general naval board in Wash
ington, at least two more naval bases
on the Pacific coast, one in the vicinity
of San Francisco and another at San
Diego, or some point in the vicinity
where adequate harbor facilities may
be had.
The latter need Is now emphasized
by the prospect that III few years the
Panama canal will be completed, when
vessels will come through the canal
and will desire to dock and fit up at
some place on the American coast not |
too far north before continuing their |
journey to the Orient. The blame for |
the present state of affairs seems to |
be about equally divided between the |
navy department and Congress. The |
navy department has not compelled |
contractors to finish docks which We're |
for and started ten years |
ago. The Brooklyn, Long Island and |
Mare island docks are the most flag |
rant examples of this
The danger of trouble with Japan |
will make it necessary for Congress to
give attention next winter to the To- /
cation of these additional naval bases.
1t is also expected that the menace
to the Pacific will neeessitate an en-
largement of the navy by the addf-
ton of a couple Of battleships of the
greater n-the-Dreadnought type.

KAPAPALA LANDS
TO Be OFFERED
Leases Will Be Sold at Rentals
Much Above Those of
Past Years.

Leases of a part of the Kapapala
ranch lands will shortly be offered for
sale by Land Commissioner Pratt, at
public auction at upset rentals con
siderable in advance of the rentals
received in the past.
The Kapapala lands, so-ealled, occupy
an area of about 1880 acres, and
have been under lease to the Hawaiian
Agricultural Company at rental of
5000 a year The lease expired July
l of this year though the lessee has
wear of grace in case the land is
not leased to it again. In advertising
for new leases, about 100000 acres of
the upper slopes of Mauna Loa are
not included. The present lessee claims
that this is valueless, so it has been
decided to hold it out from the leases
offered and see if trees and other vege
tation will not grow and perhaps give
it some value. The lease of what is
left calls for the construction and
maintenance of fence to keep cattle
out of the portion not leased.
The portions of the Kapapala lands
now to be offered for lease are about
344 acres of land known as Wailau,
for 81 years at an upset rental of so
per annum; 1850 acres of Kapapala
extending from the steam crack of 1866
to an elevation of 1000 feet. This
leaves an area below as well as above,
which is not included in the lease. The
land below is known as the Kau Desert, |
but there are small areas in it which !
are cultivable The upset rental for
this 1850 acres is $500 a year for |
21 years, the lessee to fence on the
upper line and at the steam crack.
The government reserves the right to
except from the lease at any time dur
ing its term any lands desired for (
homestead or settlement purposes, the
rental for the whole tract to be re-
luced proportionally. Another parcel
If the Kapapaia lands containing 743.5
acres will be offered for term of five
years at an upset rental of 1880 per
lnnum.
A lease of 9O3 acres of the land of
is to be offered at a rental
If $2050 a year. An area of 2761
Icres of these lands was formerly I'M
Ter lease at $3.50 per annum.
