AND HIS
LAND POLICY
1t Is Being Developed Along
the Lines of His
Inaugural.

Governor Frear seems to have al
ready begun the concrete application
Of the abstract principles he enunci-
ated in his inaugural, regarding the
public lands. AS a result of his con-
ference with Land Commissioner Pratt,
held on Thursday, there are all sorts
Of things doing in the land and sur
vey departments. These things all
seem to group themselves under these
heads in accordance with the Govern
or's inaugural:
ID Land suitable for settlement is
to be gotten into the possession OF
actual settlers as soon as possible.
(2) Land not now suitable for set
tle1nent, or not needed for settlement
at this time, but which may be later,
is not to be sold, but is to be re-
tained by the government pending its
being needed for settlement, but mean
while is to be leased and so made to
yield a revenue to the government.
In accordance with these principles,
Land Commissioner Pratt is preparing
to open number of tracts for setIie-
ment. and to lease a number OF others
Where surveys are necessary, as they
are in most cases. he has asked Ter
ritorfaI Surveyor Wall TO make them.
There are to be opened up for set
tlement about twenty more lots at ka-
laheo, McBryde plantation. This is
where SO much success has been al
tanned in locating settlers on home
steads suitable for pineapple raising.

NO CARPET" BUT
HAGUE CONGRESS
Scotty and the License Board
Have a Friendly
Conference.

"ScottyH was called to the carpet
by the Board of License Commissioners
yesterday afternoon. But the care
| taker of the Capitol had considerably
rolled the carpet back out of the way
before the board met, and for this rea-
son or some other 'Scotty'' was never
either literally or metaphorically on
the carpet at all.
The board meets in the throne room
of the Capitol. The great carpet that
was on the floor during the monarchy,
but which in these democratic days is
kept most of the time done up with
moth balls in the basement, was put
down on the floor about three weeks
ago for the reception to Secretary and
Mrs. Straus and the Longworths. It
has been down ever since. But evil
IDENTIFY yesterday the work of rolling it
up and putting it back in the base
ment was begun. 1t was about half
completed when the board Rret. At
any rate it was rolled back so far that
no one had a chance to get on the car
pet
The Board quickly disposed of two
applications which We're up for public
hearing. Then it went into executive
session to confer with Charles Meston,
widely known as ''Scotty." Mrs. Mes
ton was present and also took part in
the conference. Knockers and other
critics, so it is said, had brought it
to the ears of the board or members
thereof that in their opinion Scotty
was getting the best of it, and that
the board was allowing him to do what
it was not allowing others to do. AS
the board was not allowing" him to
do anything, that his license and the
regulations did not permit him to do,
it was thought best to have Scotty
before the board and find out just
what he was doing.
One of the complaints was that the
Waikiki portion of Scotty restaurant
was cut off by bamboo screen on the
Eva side, and a heavy screen with
mirror in it at the Merchant street en-
trance, SO that it had the privacy of
a saloon, and was in fact used as a
Scotty said that he would take the
bamboo screen away. if it was desir-
ed, the screen that shut off this part
of his place from the remainder, but
he asked that the board allow the
screen at the Merchant street entrance
TO remain. Without a screen at this
entrance, he said, the sun would pour
in at certain hours of the day, making
it impossible for a part of the room
to be utilized In addition, owing to
building operations close at hand,
WI thout a screen, dirt would blow in,
making the place intolerable. More
over, it was a handsome piece of furni-
ture and he did not want to remove 1t
unless required to do SO. As to its
giving the place the appearance of a
saloon, he did not see how anyone
could be deceived. They certain

COLONIAL KING
Of RAILROADS
TAFT Passes Through on S. S.
Manuka to Study Conditions
in the Antipodes.

Thomas TAFT, formerly assistant
general manager of the Canadian Pa
cific r. r. and at present one OF the
three members Of the board of rail-
way commissioners operating and
managing the government owned lines
of Victoria, Australia, passed through
Honolulu last night aboard the 5. S.
Manuka for Australia. Mr.. TAFT has
been visiting his relatives in Montreal
for the first time since he assumed
control of the government railways In
the state of the commonwealth. 1t is
largely due to the efforts of the Can
adian railway man that what was a
losing proposition and an eyesore to
the people of one portion Of the anti
podes is now a paying proposition.
Speaking Of the government owned
roads, Mr.. TAFT says:
THE railway system Of Victoria, as
you know, is owned by the govern
nent. It's total mileage is slightly
over 3400 miles and cost in the neigh
borhood Of two hundred million dol
lars. This sum represents about four
fifths of the total loan debt of the
state. The operation Of the railway
system is vested in board Of railway
commissioners, consisting of three men.
They are elected for term Of four
years and can be removed only for
misconduct and then only through
majority vote Of both houses. The
railroads are administered now abso-
lutely Independent Of any political In
fuences and they are operated strictly
on a commercial basis. paying for ey-
erything that they buy and getting

Dear Sir:-Yours of this day, inviting
me TO be present at the Office of Ad-
miral Very at p. m. tomorrow, has
been received, and regret my inability
to attend the meeting. consider the
opening and development of Pearl Har-
Dor, and the building there of naval
station and other work, of very great
importance not only to the CONNER
cial interests of Honolulu, but also to
the plantations and farming interests
of the whole island of Oahu and in
directly to all the Territory of Ha-
waii. I would advocate that Pearl
Harbor developments be commenced at
as early date as possible, SO that these
advanta ges may come soon.
In this connection. I would mention
that if the west side of the Harbor
could be dredged so that it could be
made available for freight steamers by
having several of the projections under
water removed sugar and other ma
terisls could be shipped direct to the
Coast so that quite saving would be
made by way of Honolulu charges as
paid at present time.
Again expressing my regrets of not
being able to attend the meeting, I
remain

of our department alone. If it is shown
to Congress that it is a commercial as
well as a military necessity there is a
great deal of hope for action in the
very near future.
tDry docks are needed here. I have
noticed in various local papers the
fdea that drydock should be built in
Honolulu harbor. That hurts us. | do
not believe that private concern
would take up the matter of a drydock
on this island without Government aid
and the United States would never
place drydock in harbor like this
where it would be unprotected from
attack by the enemy.
"There is another question to be
considered. For a suitable drydock
here it viii take more land than is
available. Even without shops a mod
ern drydoek would take about five
acres of land. Where are you going to
get this in Honolulu harbor7 The plant
which the Government has estimated
on at Pearl Harbor will include two
large drydocks and four small ones.
The two first for battleships and for
ships like the Manchuria and the Mon
golia. The smaller ones would be for
merchant vessels. At least thirty
acres of land will be needed.
'For drydocks the location at Pearl
Harbor is superb. The dock would be
protected by two miles of channel and
a mile of reef from attack by the enc
my and no more could be asked. The
land and the harbor space are avail
able There is everything that is
needed.
Nov I want to call your attention
to one thing That is the necessity for
persistent efforts to pull together. I'm
less the business men of Honolulu do
this there can be nothing whatever
done towards what should be the Aaost
magnificent naval station in the
world.
In closing Admiral Very stated that
he would be glad to see a chairman
elected for the meeting and after that
he would be very much pleased to
answer any questions which those pres
ent chose to ask. On motion, ex-
Governor Carter was made chairman
of the meeting In getting a seat for
the chairman, Admiral Very placed
long stick of bamboo, which he had
been using to point out various loca-
tions on maps which were on the walls,
on the table at the ex-governor s
right, which caused a smile and muir
mur - big stick to circulate through
the meeting.
Secretary Mott-Smith then read the

wat. Joe said cavalierly to Ariel. He went in quickly after MT. Fear and closed the door.
 This was Joseph Louden. attorney at law. And to Ariel it was like a new face seen in flashlight-not at all the face of Joe. The sense of his strange. ness, his unfamiliarity in this cleo trical aspect, overcame her. She was possessed by astonishment. Did she know him so we'll after all? The strange client had burst in. shaken be yond belief with some passion un known to her, but Joe, alert and mas terful beyond denial, had controlled him instantly; had swept him into the other room as with a broom. Could it be that Joe sometimes did other things in the same sweeping fashion?
 She heard a match struck in the next room and the voices of the two men Joe's, then the others, the latter at first broken and protestive, but soon rising shrilly. She could hear only fragments. Once she heard the client cry, almost scream, "Joe, I thought Claudine had chased him around there to do mer' And instantly followed Louden's voice:
 Steady, Happy, steady" .
 The name 'Claudine" startled her, and, although she had had no con- prehension of the argot of Happy Fear, the sense of mysterious catas- trophe oppressed her. She was sure
