QUESTION OF ELIGIBILITY
Or Of IHCOMPATIBIUTY

1t is asserted that should DR.. Cofer
be reappointed president of the Board
of Health, those who have objected to
his holding that office will seek to raise
the question of the incompatibilitv of
this position and that he holds under
the United States; and that if it should
be held that the two are incompatible.
the acceptance of the presidency of the
Board of Health will be taken as q
resignation of the other.
Should it be held that he has resign
ed his federal position, it would take
an Act of Congress to put him back in
the same rank that he now holds.
Governor Frear says that his rean.
pointment is not up for consideration
at the present time; that it is probable
the question of his eligibility NAV he
referred to the department and bv the
department to the Attorney General of
the United States.

disc of the Pacific. Honolulu will have
an influx of strangers the like of which

likely to happen soon again. They will
come here expecting welcome which
they have been led to believe will be
warm one. The streets leading to

bunting and colored lights to guide the
strangers by night. Boat landings have
been provided that will accommodate
ten thousand men a day and rest sta.

DRAFT OF NEW
LAND AGREEMENT
JUST COMPLETED
Governor Frear Says 1t Is intended to Make It
Easier for the Bonafide Settler and Harder
for the Mere Spectator.

The conditions Upon which lands foI
homesteads are I'D be sold hereafter
have been finally worked out by Gov.
ernor Frear and Land Commissioner
Pratt, in consultation with Attorney
General Hemenway and Secretary Mott
Smith. The conditions are not altered
in many respects from the old forms
of agreements, hut in the changes
that have been made large number
of suggestions have been considered,
and some of the changes are based on
results and experience in public land
dealings in the United States, of which
information was given by Secretary
Garfield when he was here.
TYPICAL LANDS.
"The form of agreement we have
drafted said Governor Frear, "wilI
be the one used for what may be called
typical lands, that is lands suitable for
the raising of recognized crops, and
upon which an Industrious man may
be expected to &C and be successful.
For other lands other conditions may
be required. For instance, there are
lands near Waianae upon which no
ordinary crop can be raised, because
there is no water on the lands nor
sufficient rain, and the soil is princi-
pally sand. At the same time there is
now heavy growth of algaroba trees
on the land and it may be that it will
make good cocoanIt land. For such,
other conditions than those we have
now formulated mt st be framed. The
agreement we have now framed is
therefore for typical lands,
FOR BONA FTDE SETTLERS.
"The object Of the conditions are to
make it as easy as possible for bona
fde settler to secure land for settle.
ment and cultivation, and as hard as
possible for the mere speculator to get
it. We have therefore lengtheped the
time that must elapse before a title
can be secured. This will make it less
and less tempting for the mere specu-
Iator, or the man who simply wants
to get the land to sell to someone else.
We have reduced the percentage of
arabic land that must be in cultivation
n the early years to an amount that
my bona fide settler would naturally
