it.
Twin City parties, among whom
are some of our state officials, have
recently purchased large tract of
swamp land near Floodwood and
will proceed to drain it.
The state has taken notice of the
need of drainage in this section and

The samples of tobacco brought in

will be used by Secretary G. F. Lar

tobacco seed sent to the Commercial
Club by the Department of Agricul

plant the seed as an experiment next

MANY ARE AFTER
PINEAPPLE LAND

Enough people have called at the
land Office inquiring into pineapple
lands on the Koolau side of this island.
were available.
Chief Clerk Joshua Tucker says that
there is not a day that a dozen or more
people do not call at the land office
to make inquiry about these lands
Some of them have the haziest notions
of where the lands are, or how they
are to be disposed of. But they have
heard that they are pineapple lands
and that they belong to the govern
ment and that they are to be disposed
of in some way to people who want to
go on the land and cultivate and i'm
prove it and raise pineapples, and they
are that kind; they want land to cul-
tivate in pineapples, and so they come
to the land office to inquire about 1t.
Others know all about the lands;
many of them have visited them. They
have well-defined ideas of what they
want, and they come to the land Of
flee to keep in touch with what is going
on, and to be on hand whenever any
thing is done.
The lands belonging to the govern
ment which are included in the Kane
ohe Ranch Land lease are three pieces:
The lands of Halekou, containing about
2S4 acres; the lands of Keaahala, con-
tanning $50 acres; the lands of Kano-
heulaiwi containing 40 acres. The
lease on these has about five years yet
to run, and the government cannot dis
pose of the lands until the expiration
of the lease unless the lessee of the
lands is willing to surrender his lease
AS to the last named lands, the 40
acre tract, there has been a plan to
divide it up into tracts of about nine
and half acres each. But j. E. Hig-
gins of the Experiment Station called
on the Acting Governor day before yes
terday and suggested that they should
be divided up into tracts of not less
than eighteen acres.
There seems to be strong feeling
against dividing up these lands into too
small tracts. Twenty-Five acres seems
to be the smallest tract that anyone
approves of, and forty acre tracts are
favored by the majority of those who
are seeking to become pineapple kings.
