Benjamin f. Dillingham;, promoter of
the Oahu railway and its general man
ager from the start, when spoken to
about railway extension on the Island
of Hawaii pointed to the above pas
sage in the recently published letter of
o. p. Austin, Chief of Bureau of Statis-
tics, Departent of Commerce and La
Dor. to the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee.
Every word there is true" Mr.. Dill
lingham said, so far as the productive
capability of the islands is concerned.
But the islands will never yield the
products mentioned by Mr.. Austin to
any material degree until the country
is opened up with railways to give pro-
ducers access to market at a cost that
will leave them fair profits on their
enterprise.
What the railway has done on this
island is the best evidence of what may
be expected, and even assured. from
the building of railways on the other
Islands. There is a large agricultural
region in the district of Waimea, Ha-
wall, not to mention others, capable of
vegetables and even cereals, as well as
feed to maintain extensive animal in
dustries. With railway facilities con-
Meeting this and other agricultural sec
tions with sea ports the development of
the country would be immediate in it's
beginning and rapid in its growth.
This is no dream, but logical pre-
diction, as plain as arithmetic, based
on the facts and figures of the develop
ment of Oahu directly accruing from its
railway. Here are some official figures
showing the property and income taxes
collected in the first taxation division,
Island of Oahu, from 1897 to 1906 in
elusive"
Mr.. Dillingham; handed the reporter
large sheet of statistics of the kind
mentioned, which cannot be conveni-
emily reproduced here but from which
sufficient data may be abstracted to
show the significance of the figures
Taken as whole they evidence an al
most continuously ascending scale of
taxes collected until the maximum thus

intendent to give the value Of these
lands.
The clerk of the Judiciary Depart
ment submitted list of the civil cases
in which former County Attorney
Douthitt and County Attorney Cath
cart had appeared in Judge De Bolts
court since January !, 1905, showing
Douthitt to have had a share in "a
and Cathcart in 8. The latter had ap-
peared only in criminal cases since his
election.
KANIHo WANTS THAT ROAD.
Kaniho is still after the road across
the lava flow on Hawaii at the ex-
pense OF the Territory On Friday his
bill to open up the old road had been
thrown out because 1t fell within the
jurisdiction of the county. Yesterday
he introduced measure to appropri-
ate $4,000 to locate and construct new
road on the same ground, the Terri
tory having the right to open such
when 1t could not appropriate for the
repairing of an old one. The bill was
sent to the Printing committee.
Nailima gave notice of a bill to ap-
propriate $1,000 for the building of a
jail and jailer's room at II ga miles,
on the Volcano road, and another Ha-
wall bill was introduced authorizing
the County of Hawaii to pay its po-
licemen for 1905, the amount due be-
ing $5317.34.
Notices of amendments to the Re
vised Laws were given as follows:
Respecting the license fees for livery
stables, to be $50 per annum in Homo
lulu and S25 per annum elsewhere in
the Territory: Section 227 to be amend
ed whereby all moneys received from
the rent of public lands is to be set
aside in a special fund to pay the
bonded Indebtedness of the Territory.
to purchase other lands and to build
new roads opening up public lands.
All these bills We're read by title and
ordered to be printed.
BENEFITS oRIENTALS ONLY.
Mahoe's bill raising the tax on prop
erty another one-half of one per cent
all around and also raising the amount
of exemptions from $500 to $4,000 was
adversely reported upon by the Com
mittee on Finance. The report stated
that the additional tax would be an i'm
position upon the taxpayers, who had
already all they could carry, while the
exemption proposed would result in a
loss to the Territory of 100000 year
To table the bill was the best thing the
committee could think of.
Mahoe explained that he had thought
his bill would increase the revenue and
tighten the burden on the poor. The
committees report showed, however

JARED SMITH
ASKS MONEY

A short, eventless session was that
held Saturday in the House, which ad-
journed shortly before eleven o'clock
for the day. There was one little
scrap between Kaniho and Rawlins,
but even this was not up TO the mark
of past encounters between the Koha-
latte and the chairman Of the Judi
ciary committee. Three bills received
their third reading and passed the
House, while one was deferred at the
last moment in order to allow Rice to
introduce an amendment. This was
the measure dealing with the legal
speed limit for automobiles.
EXPERIMENT STATION NEEDS
FUNDS.
A communication was read from
Jared G. Smith, superintendent Of the
u. S. Experiment Station, calling the
attention of the members to the fact
that although the station was support
ed almost altogether by Congress 1t
was working wholly in the interest of
the Territory. During the past two
years the Territory had given 1t s5470,
while Congress had appropriated sl5,-
900 for its work. Between now and
June 80 money was necessary to carry
on the experiments in progress and a
request was made that the Legislature
appropriate $4,000 for this.
or this amount 5000 was needed to
carry on the experiments with rubber
at Lhue, where the station was de-
termining the amount of juice procur-
able from Hawaiian grown trees. TIC
carry on the rubber experiments dur
ing the next two years the station
could use $4,000 with advantage. For
the work with rice $1,000 was required
right away At present the rice grow
ing industry is in bad way, the quail
ity grown is deteriorating and the ex-
rortation consequently falling off. To-
bacco at Hamakua is also at a stand
still and SiOO was needed to carry the
experimental planting through until
June 80.
The communication was referred to
the Committee on Agriculture.
The Superintendent of Public Lands
submitted a list OF the Unbiased public
lands, showing a total of 616.27i acres
In Hawaii and In some portions OF Ma
nj there are number OF wild horses
cattle and hogs at large on these lands
but in few instances are they used al

from any but American citizens, was
reported back, amended to provide for
the purchase of supplies from other
than citizens when the same was not
otherwise procurable. The event of the
possibility Of sometimes not being able
to get what was wanted from a citizen
had not occurred to the framer of the
original bill.
RAWLINS OUT OF ORDER.
The rules of the House We're put into
effect in the consideration of House
Resolution l, when Rawlins moved the
tabling, the member being at the time
out of his place. He accordingly slid
back to his chair and renewed the mo-
ton, which carried.
The second reading of the Primary
Law was deferred until Friday next
upon motion of Sheldon, who an
nounced that a similar measure was
coming down from the Senate and
wanted the two Of them taken up to-
gether for second reading.
KANIHO JUMPS JUDICIARY COM
MITTEE.
The member from Kohala wanted
light on the subject of his two bills be-
fore the Judiciary committee. He
thought 1t strange matter that his
bills could not be considered and re-
ported when other bills going in after
his had already been treated. He feared
that the members of that committee
were not playing fair.
Rawlins. chairman of the committee,
resented this imputation. He wanted
to inform the gentleman from Kohala
that the bills he had sent in had caused
the committee more trouble than any
others that had been presented. One
of them was contradictory in it's terms
and the other came into conflict with
the Organic Act. Referring a matter
to this committee was different to
putting it into the hands of the Print
ing committee, who could shove 1t
right out to the printer. The Judiciary
committee had to do some thinking
and considering before they reported.
Kaleiopu also wanted to know what
had become of his resolution for the
House to go to tho Board of Health and
learn something from the slides there
under the microscope. He was assured
that the matter would be attended to.
THIRD READINGS.
Senate Bill S6, making additional ap-
preparations of $56.S61.42, was given its
last hearing and passed. House Bill AZ,
dealing with the creation of legel holi-
days, being given the same course.
House Bill 10. setting aside public
land on Punchbowl for a park. was
also passed after the description of the
lands involved had been made more
specific.

third reading to allow OF an amendment

Color In French Parliament.

Paris, Dec. 14.-There was an un-
expected dash of color given to a color
less debate in the Federal Chamber OF
Deputies Friday afternoon by the ar
rival of NJ. Legitimus, tie deputy for
Martinique.
NJ. Legitimus is q highly polished
black and an advanced socialist. he has
been deputy for more than year, but
this was his first appearance in the
chamber, aud he did not leave his con-
slituency until be had received official
information from Paris that he would
lose his seat unless he attended Parlia-
ment once.
M. Lsgitimus was accompanied to the
chamber by another negro, a friend OF
his and the chief Of his election CON-
mittee 10 Martinique, who rejoices in
the name of Blanche (White). AS he
entered the chamber a deputy named
Lebrun Brown was speaking.
N. Legitimus, not knowing the ways
OF the chamber, went and sat among the
whites--that is to say, the conserve
tives--on the extreme right; but a
socialist colleague, NJ. Bleu blue
rushed across the house and, amid shouts
OF laughter, steered NJ. Legitimus to bis
right place on the benches Of the social
lists, or reds.

Anprehenslon In Europe.

London, Dec. 16.-Europe's atten-
ton centers today on the United States
war fleets departure from Hampton
Roads to the Pacific. The English and
continental newspapers print columns of
detailed descriptions OF the ships. 1t
is generally acknowledged that never
before has so powerful feet been as
sembled under a single command. No
body in Europe believes the cruise is
undertaken merely for practice. The
mildest Interpretation IL that 1t is in
tended to Japan not to try rush tactics.
Numerous critics think there is real
danger of war.
It Is generally agreed that nation
able to exhibit such sea strength need
not fear to insist on all It's rights 10
diplomatic debate. No doubt exists that
the cruise impresses Europe with Amer
ica's title to consideration as a world
power to an even greater extent than
did the war with Spain.
The usual note of hostility is heard
here and there, however, and notably In
the British press.
The caption-"R isstvensky the Sec
ond"-sums up the conclusion drawn in
en- editorial in the London Globe OF the
possible development from the situation.
Japanese American relations stand
on a very delicate footing" says the
Globe, "and Roosevelt may discover, as
have others, that it Is better to deal
courteously with Japan than by threats,
either open or yelled. If he likes the
neighborhood OF a hornets nest he
should remember that her nests are very
touchy and carry long stings. We hope
the japanese will not regard this Pacific
coast feet as a provocation. The danger
is appalling to the world. japan may
elect to treat the whole thing IS Ameri-
can bombsst, but 1t is on the card it may
see it in an altogether different light, in
which case the cruise will hardly be
pIeasurable or healthy"

SNOW STORM.

Lashed by q heavy northeastern, New
York was Saturday night in the clutches
of storm of wind, hail and rain, which
completely swept the Atlantic coast from
Hatteras to Maine, hampered trauspor-
tation, demoralizsd lines of communica-
ton with the outside world and threat
ened all ships that sought to make port
in the teeth of the sixty-mile gale. Of
Sandy Hook the bark Edward Finney
went ashore after her captain and crew
of ten had been rescued in the breeches
buoy. Eleven transatlantic steamships
due in New York Saturday came
into port yesterday. Six cosstwise
steamers that set sail Saturday for south
ern ports turned back from the pounding
seas that met them at The hsrbor gateway,
and anchored 10 the shelter of Sandy
Hook bay.

GINA are found the effects Of the storm
but dispatches from the middle and

of great severity.
