they did.
The stars were still sharp in the sky.
They remained so for some hours long

rather, burst, like shell.
Meanwhile Tom had struck a creek,
waded mile in it to destroy the scent

waded back, and miles farther, in the

PORTUGUESE like
GOVERNOR
FREAR'S new PLAN

The Portuguese community is taxi
ing considerable interest in Governor
trear's plan to send Il clerk of court
around tC the various Islands to as
certain how many of the newly ar
rived Portuguese immigrants desire
to become citizens of the United
States.
1T VIII be an important thing
that the people be shown the reasons
why the Government desires them to
become citizens" said J. f.. Durao
this morning. at should be pointed
out to them that 1t will be to their
own advantage that they take this
step, as they will not be able to ac-
quire Government lands unless they
do so. II is probable that more i'm
migrants will soon he wanted by thd
Territory, and II will be much easier
TO secure them In case those who
have already been brought here are
satisfied with the conditions they
have found.
ut appears to me that 1t would be
a good thing for the planters If they
would send representative along
with the clerk sent by the Govern
ment, who could especially lay stress
on the advantages they would reap
ky remaining in the Territory. The
planters want the laborer to remain
here instead of emigrating to Cali
fornia. They should show that by
becoming citizens the Portuguese
would have a chance to take up gov
eminent lands. Furthermore, a
number of these Portuguese went to
Diamond Head to try to get jobs on
the fortilication works, but they
found that they could not get It be-
cause they were not citizens, and
these people have come to me about
II. II should therefore be easy to
show them that 1t will be greatly to
their own advantage II they become
citizens and stay here instead of 60
ing to California"
