HARD CASE IN
THE LAND COURT
SOME PECULIAR PUZZLES IN CON
NECTION WITH A WAIAHOLE
LAND TITLE.

The Land Registration Court has
been busy for several days in trying
to determine the proper boundaries for
a tract of about 25 acres of land at
Waiahole, the title for which seems to
be unusually involved. The applica-
ton for registration of title is being
made by w. R. Castle trustee for Thee
F. Lansing and there are number Of
curious questions which will have to
be determined before the clear title
can be given.
In the first place the claimant claims
considerable accretion of land on the
makai side of the government road
which has been built up by the wash
ing from the ocean. The deed gives
the seward boundary as the mauka
side of the government road, but IL
is claimed that the the time the deed
was made the high tide line was mauka
of the road in question, and that al
though the road remains where it al
belongs to the land In other words
the claimant considers the high tide
line as his boundary
Another trouble which is proving
puzzling is to locate two small ku-
leanas of about two acres each which
are claimed by Miss Margaret Cullen
to lie somewhere within this Lansing
tract. Just where they are she doesn't
know, although she holds old deeds for
them, and once before in the Circuit
Court won suit for possession OF
them. Still nobody knows just where
they should be located, and the records
do not show, and it is even claimed
that they are not within the boundary
of the Lansing tract at all.
The only thing that can be looked to
to straighten out the matter is the me-
mories of some of the kamaainas, and
this is being tried, but thus far vita
but Indifferent results.

orders, etc, were received and entered
in the different books and the list of
the firms that kept oil on storage.
When questioned if all the oil that
was stored in the lower room where
the fire had been belonged to the
Standard Oil, he answered that it was.
In the kerosene book that was missing
Reynolds stated that there had been en-
tries for several years back from June
list 1907, and when asked by Cathcart
what he meant by several years, whe-
Their it was one, two three or four
years answered it was more than that,
but he had never paid very much at
tention to the back entries, only know
ing about the business done since his
being employed there on the first OF
June. When asked what he thought the
condition of the kerosene book would
have been if it had remained on the
end of the desk, replied that as the
powder book had not been burned on
the bottom he thought that the kero-
sene book would have only been scorch-
ed a little on the inside edge. He
also stated that when he arrived on
Monday morning that the orders that
were in the box, pointing to the box
, alongside of the burned desk were
covered with ashes but that they had
not been burned through and were in
good condition.

that the conditions of, the first bids

termine on the lowest and best bidder

President Makes Report on Methods
Known as the Keep Commission.
Washington, Jan. 15.-Presiden'
Roosevelt made report on cost keep
ing in the government service" pre-
pared by the committee on department
methods, known as the keep commits
sion.
A cost system, if properly devised
and operated, the report says, will fur
nish information enabling the respon
sible heads where economics may be
found to estimate more intelligently
On the probable cost of future oper
ations along similar lines, and to fly
proper selling prices on goods trans
ferred to other governments or private
individuals.
The public printer Is working out
the details on an elaborate cost keep
ing system which he Is about to install
in the government printing office, and
the mint bureau has put new system
In effect at the various minis.
Attention is called to the methods
of appropriations for the bureau OF
engraving and printing which are made
under three heads and for the govern
ment printing office where lump
sum is given. The report expresses
the opinion that appropriations made
specifically for each of the main heads
would be of material advantage over
the present system in which case the
bookkeeping would harm6nize with
the cost keeping system.

NOT BINDING.
So Says Duncan In Speaking Of Bailey
Matter.

Austin, Jan 15.-At the Saturday
afternoon session of the house Judge
Duncan concluded his argument in ia
vor of the Bailey-Davidson investiga-
tion resolution. He claimed that the
nomination of Senator Bailey by the
state Democratic convention was not
binding, saying the section of the pri
mary law bearing on the same was
vague. He insisted that the official
acts of the senator should be fnvesti-
gated. When Judge Duncan finished
adjournment was taken until Monday
A number of representatives favora-
BILE to Senator Bailey agreed to present
substitute providing that the speak
er appoint committee of seven to
receive charges from any person,
take testimony and report same to the
house at once.
