REPUBLICANS WILL
SOON REORGANZE

Next month we will have to begin
recognizing the Republican party of
the Territory and getting everything
in line for the nomination of the dele
gates to represent us in June at the
National Convention in Chicago" said
Senator John c. Lane yesterday. Now
that we have been notified of the date
of the convention we will have to get
busy l expect to hear from our pres
ident, Mr.. Robertson, about it and we
will probably discuss the matter and
prepare to begin work with the new
year.
II think that we should select our
delegates no later than March and TO
do this we will have to begin reor-
ganizing at once"
The Senator was asked II the Ha-
waiian delegation would be sent in
structed for Taft. according to the wish
of Congressman Longworth when he
was here and towards which end he
was stated to be working. The leader
of the Sunday school class refused TO
commit himself. however.
In reorganizing for the election Of
National delegates ii is expected that
there will be a fight for the plums, an
attack on the center of the party to
be made by those outlying divisions
supposed to be led by Acfli and others.

FREAR PROVES
GREAT HUSTLER
He Puts an Immense Amount
of Work Into Five Days
at Washington.

Governor Walter F. Frear wrote to
Acting Governor E. a. Mott-Snith
from the New Willard Hotel, Wash
ington, D. c., under date of December
2. 1t is the first letter the Acting
Governor has received from the chief
since the one he wrote on arrival al
San Francisco.
From the contents of this eommuni-
cation it is easily judged by the Acting
Governor that Mr.. Frear did not have
much time for correspondence since
he left here. There are some things
in the Governors letter which make
Mr.. Mott-Smith joyful, but they are
of a confidential nature. That the
Governor had been exceedingly busy
since leaving Honolulu, both when
travelling and not travelling" ne hard
Iy needed to state in terms. The re-
lated facts are sufffSient.
Governor Frear had stayed four days
at Muskogee. Oklahoma, where he rep
resented Hawaii at the Transmissis-
sippi Congress. His letter from WASH
ington by it's date would therefore in
dicate that when he wrote he had
been about seven days in the capital
TWO Oh IU6SS udHS were ouhhesS q
leaving five days for meeting officials
in the departments.
During that time he had conferred
with the President the Secretary OF
the Interior, the Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury, the Director of the
Reclamation Service, the Chief Hy-
drographer. Speaker Cannon and nu-
merous others.
The subjects of conference included
immigration, Pearl Harbor improve
ment, the coastwise laws, the College
of Agriculture, the Federal building,
a photographic survey of the islands,
an extension of the reclamation ser
vice to Hawaii, various United States
reservations of land in the Territory,
the Hawaiian postal savings bank and
a number of other matters. Governor
F'rear also discussed the question of
amending the Organic Act relative to
it's restriction of government land
leases to five years, He expected to
attend the meeting of the American
Rivers and Harbors Congress.

ROOM FOR LOTS
Of LUSITANIAS
Honolulu Harb0r Will Soon
Have Decks for Seven
LeviathanS.

>"Would you be surprised to learn
that Honolulu harbor could aecommo-
date six or seven steamships of the
size of the Lusitania2n was the query
shot at an Advertiser reporter by an
official in the Capitol yesterday.
'Well, two Lusitanias can find berths
at the Hackfeld wharf at the head of
the harbor. There is room for two
more such leviathans at the Alakea
street wharf. Two others will find
space at the new wharf now project
ed, and yet another at the Channel
wharf.
'|All of which goes to show some
what of the magnitude of harbor i'm
provements carried out and planned by
the Government of Hawaii. To adj
init the largest class of steamships now
afioat to the accommodations men
toned, it is only necessary that the
United States Government should do
its part in dredging out the channel
and wharf approaches.
.'Have YOU taken notice of the har-
Dor when two or three liners-sueh as
the Manehuria, Mongolia, Siberia and
Korea-tOgether with one or two army
transports. were in port at the same
1ime2 If so you must have observed
that there was plenty of room to give
all of them dockage, and berths to spare
for a few big freighters. When four
huge battleships were in the harbor
there was abundance of water left for
all the commercial shipping that came
along
1.-The Alakea street wharf is 600
feet long, the Hackfeld wharf HOO
feet and the Channel wharf over 400
feet. Those lengths ars sufficient for
the biggest steamships atioat.
1.-The Territory as carrying out these
extensive wharf Improvements for the
benefit of commerce, present and pros

do the rest -

THE MARKET BUILDING
FOR AV|ARY IN PARK

Removal of the building to the race
track in Kapiolani Park, there to be
used for the purposes of an aviary. Is
the latest suggestion for disposal Of
the disused public market pavilion.
'By taking off the roof, or making
its panels entirely of glass, and con-
structing galleries around the interior,
the building could be converted into
one of the finest aviaries in the world, =
n government official said yesterday.

planned, ''and TO permit of the growth

FEEDING AND SELLING Mulss.
How They Should BE Dealt With to
Get the Best Results.

The southerner requires fat mules
the fatter the better. Flesh catches
the planters eye. Sleek-coated AMI
mails are also in demand. In size. the
cotton mule ranges from the 14-hand
donkey to the 15.2-hand farm mule.
Mare mules are given the preference
In the south, but north. east or west
this is not so. The wise feeder will
keep these facts In view when buying
young or work mules. The rough,
legsy animal should be avoided. Such
This is also true of colts. 1t Is posi-
BILE, says Orange Judd Farmer. to tell
with reasonable certainty which colts
will feed out well and which will not.
The colt that keeps nearly fat on crdi-
nary feed and with ordinary care can
be depended on, while the one that Is
stunted, rough and thin is douh1fu
feeder. Some of our feeders raise
their own stock mules. buying colts
and yearlings. then pasturing or feed
ing them very much as cattle arc fed.
Feeding usually begins In early fall
and continues until the end OF the
year. Many carloads of two-year-old
mules go south.
The feeding is best done in sheds
equipped for that purpose. In MOST
sections, at least five kinds of iced
can be had. Corn is the principal! fat
tening element. but bran and shelled
oats act as loosening agent and pro-
duce good coat Such feeds should
be given in the proportion of one part
bran or oats 20 three or four parts
corn. Soy beans are a promising mule
In rearing and fattening mules, the
shearing should be attended to often.
The name falls over badly when al
lowed to get too long. and 1t Is prac-
tcally impossible to make a good trim
later. When receiving mule that has
been shod, remove the shoes. especial
ly those on the hind feet, the first
thing. Mules will kick each other
but II there are no shoes. no harm is
done.
Work as many as possible, II only
q time or two. Many consider mule
broken that has had only one or two
lessons In the wagon or pillow. Mules
should be kept, during the fattening
period, confined to the shed. Good
bedding is very essential to producing
a fine finish. The above is written
with special reference to cotton mules,
but applies equally. well to other de-
mands. Most all the cotton mules
from Kentucky are sold through the
Atlantic gateway. The market opens
in the late fall or early winter anu
closes in early spring.

POINTERS FOR GOLD HUNTERS.
What searehers for Capt. kidd'.
Treasures Should Know.

Anent the fact that the usual num-
Der Of Long Island farmers have be-
gun as usual annual search for the
treasure buried by Capt. Kidd, the fol-
lowing statistics, gathered from five
different historians may prove inter
esting:
In all his buccaneerIng Capt. Kidd
captured only five vessels,
In the whole hve he did not get
over 100000 worth Of plumber.
When all expenses were paid and
the balance divided up, his share was
less than as if.he had been the floor.
walker In a clothing store.
Between his setting out from Bos-
ton to become pirate and HIS re-
turn in chains he did not visit the
coast. He had no money to bury On
Long Island or elsewhere, and II he
had had there was no opportunity for
him to bury 1t. -
Farmers along the. Atlantic coast
will. no doubt, find chests of gold IL
they keep up the search long enough,
but they will be chests hidden away
in the ground by millionaire peanut
ssllers instead Of pirates.
