FORTUNES IN SABLE SKINS.
NTH Skins at $3.50 Each, Prices Soar
Into Thousands.

The two most expensive Sable coats
in the world are worn by the empress
OF Russia and Queen Maud of
Norway
The empress coat is made from
pure sables, the best which could be
obtained in Europe, and is valued by
an expert in furs at something be-
tween $250,000 and 100000, while
that which Queen Maud wears would
be worth nearly half as much.
The manager of London firm said
that within the last two years the
price of sable had increased by rs per
cent, and was still going up.
THE price is practically prohibi-
tive he said, "and we have to find
a substitute in top Russian sable,
smart sets of which cost as much as
$1,000. If the same. were made in
real sable the price would be about
$500 or more
There is as much gambling in sa-
bles as there is on the stock ex-
change. The furriers have all sold
out, and the demand is still great.
People are now beginning to pass
sables down as heirlooms-and val
liable they are, too, at $3.50 skin"

New Petrified Forest

said. "Southeast of the town

which was of greater extent than

SAYS THAT so FAR FROM SUG-
COSTING THE LANAI DEAL HE
PROTESTED AGAINST IT.

Il see that Land Commissioner Pratt
and perhaps the Governor too are try
ing to get from under on the Lanai
deal, by seeking to create the impress
sion that i'm some way l am responsible
for it," said L. L. McCandless this
morning. Pratt says that / suggest
, ed exchanging the Fish Market prop
erty for the Bishop Wharf property,
and that in some way it worked, and
worked in his mind, until he was forced
! to trade off the whole of the public
lands of Lanai. The idea seems to be,
as near as l can make it out from his
published interview, that after 1 had
put the wicked idea of an exchange
of some kind into his mind he couldn't
get rid of it-he just had to trade off
some public property or other, and so
l am responsible for the loss of the
Lanai public domain.
Possibly l can refresh Commissioner
Pratts memory. A year and a half
or two years ago, The Star announced
that there was a proposition on foot
to exchange the lands of Lanai for the
Bishop, wharf property. That was the
first public intimation of anything of
the kind. When 1 read it l went to
Pratt and urged him not to do it. The
acquisition Of the Bishop wharf I
thought would be a good thing, but OPP
posed the exchange of the Lanai lands
for it because they might become avail
able for settlement. I suggested that
the Fish market property might be eX-
changed for it. 1t was the same class
of properly as the wharf property and
was liable at any time to be taken by
the United States government without
compensation. Therefore if we got the
wharf property in exchange for it, it
might prove a good thing. I am mt
certain but that previous to this I may
have suggested the exchange of the
Fish Market property for the Bishop
wharf property.
AT that time no question Of the
legality of exchanges had been raised.
1t was assumed that they were legal.
And I believe now that if such eX-
changes are legal, the exchange of the
fish market property for the Bishop
wharf property would be a good thing,
if it could be done. But at that time,
as now, I opposed the exchange of the
Lanai lands, and urged Pratt against
it. Then as now I believed that those
lands ought to be reserved for settlers"
