HOLLOWAY IS
MAKING A BOOK

The Department of Public Works
has begun the record, in book form, of
all conveyances made by it Of public
lands under it's control since annexa-
ton. Under the laws of the Territory,
certain lands belonging to the Terri

veyances are being made at frequent
intervals especially in the matter of
exchanges, such for instance, as the
Lanai exchange. These conveyances,
are of course, recorded in the office
Of the Registrar of Conveyances. But
the department itself. in order to have
complete and systematic record OF
these conveyances is now having them
all recorded in chronological order in
book for that purpose. The record Is
being made in typewriter form, one OF
the typewriting machines especially
designed for typewriting in books hav-

WHAT CONGRESS
MIGHT Do FOR US

If Congress can be induced to act
at this session there Will be ssO, 900 OF
Uncle Sans money for the College Of
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts next
year. In 1862 Congress provided for
the endowment of Agricultural COL
leges in the various States by grants
passed giving to each OF such inststu-
lions $4,000 which was to be increased
reached. Within a year or two anoth-
er act has been passed increasing the
amount $1,000 a year until $4,000 a
year is reached. But none of these
acts apply to Hawaii.
1t is one of Governor Frear's homes
to secure action from Congress bring
ing Hawaii within the operation OF
these statutes. If such action can he
secured then it will mean s3a. 600 for
Hawaii for next year.
Governor Frear has been engaged IN
making his estimates for appropria-
lions from Congress for TerritoriaF
purposes. There is no exact line he
yond which the recommendations ~
the Governor shall not go. Some or
the estimates are purely formal, as the
estimates for the salaries of Terri
torial officers which are fixed BY law

ments and having men here M the

Then there are lit of things which
may be and which by discreet and wen
timed recommendations may be great
ly assisted. For instance, appropria-
tions for harbor improvements, for a
photographic survey. and for things OF
that sort, might be secured in this
way. Governor Frear has gone very
carefully into the matter of his recon-
mendations for appropriations from
Congress.

MRS. kEPNER DYING
IN COLORADO CITY

The news reached this city by the
last mail that Mrs. T. G. Kepner, bet
ter known in this city as Mrs. F. B.
Within, was dying in st. Joseph's
Hospital, Denver on September 10, and
that there was practically no hope of
her recovery. Mrs. Kepner was living
with her husband in Blair, Nevada.
when she was taken severely i'll and
could not be moved for some time. AS
soon as it was thought she could
stand the trip she went to Denver, for
treatment and for the benefit which
it was thought the climate would do
her health.
The news came to this city through
letter from T. G. Kepner, in which
he stated that he had received a tele-
gram saying that his wife was dying
in Denver, and that there was no hope
of her recovery. When living in this
city before her divorce from Within,
Mrs. Kepner was very we'll known.
The Whitins stopped at the Moana
Hotel and entertained freely and were
great favorites in local society.
She obtained divorce from F. B.
Within on the grounds of habitual in
temperance on September II, of last
year, and was shortly after married
to Thomas G. Kepner, one of the most
prominent attorneys in the State of
Nevada. Before marrying Within she
had been married to and divorced
from a Colorado millionaire named
Doyle.

TO FINANCE THE

Continued from Pare one,.

water which can be desired.
There have been contracts made with
the various plantations which will use

thus giving an assured income, from
this single source, of $4,000.
The price Of water through the upper
ditch, going to the Pacific Sugar Mill
and the Honokaa plantations, is s6250
per million gallons per year, for the
first four million. and $500 after that.
Contracts have also been made with
the Honokaa and the Pacific Sugar
Mill plantations for the delivery of six
and four million gallons of water per
day. respectively, through the lower
ditch. According to the plans which
have been made for the expenditure of
the 100000 which will be obtained for
the bonds, the ditch will extend only
to Paauhau. but it is likely that there
will be further extensions made later
on, as there is an enormous amount of
water which can be utilized above that
which has been contracted for.

Weekly Letter Telling Of the De-
inEs in the white City.

Rear Admiral Goodrich holds
that the best way to check the
desertions in the navy, which so
seriously impair the efficiency Of
the service, is to find out what
grievances give rise 70 them, and
then to remove the cause Of dis
content as far as may be practi.
cable. The Admiral is cOnvinc-
ed that a great deal Of the troub-
le results from the governments
failure to look upon liberty to go
ashore as a right rather than a
privilege to be granted by she
captain OF the ship, and in time
he hopes that every squadron or
feet will have a home base to
which it viii resort at the end Of
a period of practice, and that
thus a permanent residence may
be given 10 the families Of the
men. But before this plan is
realized he would favor allowing
the men greater freedom than is
now enjoyed when they are in
port. Another source Of discon-
tent is the inequality in the pun
ishment imposed on different
vessels for the same ofense and
the Admiral would like to see
greater uniformity in Discipline,
and inclines to the exercise Of
greater leniency than is often
extended. One Of the most val
liable suggestions made by Ad-
miral Goodrich is that the Navy
Department should undertake
the required reform without
waiting for Congressional action,
as many improvements in the
military service have unquestion.
ably been effected by executive
order and without the legislation
once deemed necessary.
