COLOMBO
LEILEHUA
FREAR INTIMATES
THAT THE BIG TRACT Is FIT
FOR SUCH A SCHEME.

Asked concerning the LeiIehua tract,
at present held by the United States
government as a military reserve, Gov
'ernor Frear this morning stated that
while he cannot say that IA part of
this splendid 14,70O acre tract will be
returned to the Territory, he mas strong
hopes that it will be and that some
thing definite may be known concern
ing the matter before a great while.
Whether or not Congress will have to
take action on the matter of such res
toration," said the Governor, "or whe-
ther the War Department may make
the transfer, is a question which has
not yet been settled"
In case the Territory does get back
half or more of this land, which is
situated in the heart of the famous Wa
hiawa pineapple district Of the same
name, the governor stated that it would
be opened for homestead settlement.
Asked if there is any way by which the
danger of all of this valuable tracts
being acquired by capitalists under
the auction system of selling govern
ment lands, the Governor stated that
it might be avoided by giving the land
! to a settlement association as provided
| for by our laws. Although the COVER
nor has heretofore expressed himself
as opposed to this method Of disposing
of public lands, in most cases, he
stated that he should like nothing bet
ter than to give this property to an
adequate sized colony of American
farmers should it be possible to bring
such a party here.
However" Governor Frear con
tinued "a good deal can be done even
under the auction system by putting
strict requirements of personal resi-
dence and cultivation on all land dis
posed Of In this way it is possible
to keep the men of money from putting
the price out of reach of the class Of
people desired for settlers

IS SAFE
AAIERICAN-HAWAIIAN STEAMER
SAVED HERSELF EARLY THIS
MORNING AND Is DOCKED.

Twenty-four hours on the reef on
the Eva side of the channel, with
her nose within few fathoms of Lne
old lighthouse sight, the American
Hawaiian S. s. Co.'S recently purchas-
ed inter-island steamship Despatch,
Captain Kokerwitz, under her own
power slid into deep water again at
$3.50 o'clock this morning. She went
on at high tide yesterday morning
while attempting to enter the harbor,
and came off at high tide this morn
ing
Captain kokerwitZ yesterday morn
ing informed a representative of The
Star who boarded the Despatch while
she was aground, that he had not been
! aware of the fact that the old light
house had been removed and ne mis-
| took the temporary front range light,
makai and Eva Of the old lighthouse
site, for the old lighthouse and came
ahead according to this impression.
| He says he was proceeding slowly
and at the moment of contact the en-
gines were just turning over. He did
not see the foundations of the disman-
tied old lighthouse until his vessel had
struck and then he could onk make
out the obstruction in a dim outline.
He declares that there should have
been a danger light on the pier from
which the old lighthouse had been re-
moved.
Captain Kokerwitz followed sailing
directions according to latest advices
and claims that any other steamship
master, unacquainted with the change
in lights, would have made the same
mistake.
On the other hand it is stated that if
Kokerwitz had waited for the Federal
health officers to board his vessel, in
stead Of rushing in, he might have
been informed concerning the change
in lights. He was supposed, accord
ing to health regulations, to remain
outside until the health officers board
ed him In the morning
The Despatch was hard and fast
until high tide this morning, but her
master and the local agents refused
any outside help, preferring that she
get herself off rather than pay salvage.
One thousand dollars was asked by the
tug Intrepid to pull her of. Koker-
WITT offered $50.
The vessel suffered nothing serious
from her contact with the crumbling
coral and she was fortunate enough to
get off by her own power An anchor
was put out astern, cargo was shift
ed aft and at high tide she strained on
the cable astern and came off easily.
AS to entering without taking aboard
doctor, Captain Kokerwitz under
stood the quarantine grounds were in
side the harbor, makai side, adjoining
the quarantine wharf, and he was
headed there when he struck.

MORE ARRESTS
OVER BIG "STILL'
ONE JAPANESE TRYING TO TAKE
ALL THE BLAME FOR THE NUU-
ANU PLANT

Another Japanese connected with
the operation of the Illicit still raided
on Saturday afternoon by Revenue
Collector Drake and officers of the
District Attorneys office, was captur-
ed last night This ones name is Ha-
shimoto, and with Koga, arrested at
the time of the raid, is supposed to be
a partner in the Illicit business of OkO-
lehao making Koga waived eXamina-
ton this morning and was held for the
April term of U. S. Court. Hashimoto
will be given a hearing tomorrow
morning. Both are held in default of
$1,000 bail
Warrants were issued this morning
for two other Japs, and arrests will
probably be made this afternoon. They
lived at the place where the stuff was
made, and although they may no'
have been guilty themselves, it is
thought that they have a guilty knowl-
edge. An effort is being made by Ko-
ga to assume the entire ownership and
responsibility of the business, with a
view Of getting all others off, which
however, doesn't work in Uncle Sans
revenue department laws.
The Revenue Office this morning
looks like a warehouse, filled as it Is
with casks and the paraphernalia o.
the distillery All Of the product seiz
ed is in soy tubs, some Of which are
covered with mats, no doubt for tn,
purpose Of convenience in marketing

creating lots Of merriment for the listen

OCTOBER FLOOD.
Six and Half Feet Of Water Came Down the
Arkansas River. High water Mark
for Yaars.

Arkansas River. High water Mark
for Years.
An October food is not usual
thing for the Arkansas river, but it
occurred this week, the river going
higher than it has been for over
twenty years. At midnight on
Wednesday night there was six and
a half feet Of water in the river here.
The wagon road from the bridge
south to the Rock Island track was
under three feet Of water. A part
Of the city park was overfowed, and
streams were running across some Of
the meadows, along the south side.
The water at ! o'clock on Tuesday
WAS six feet high. and this depth was
reached at Ellinwood the following
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock.
From here to Colorado the foods
have put the Santa Fe road temper
arily out Of business. At places
several miles Of track have been
washed out, and the through trains
are being routed from Great Bend
over the Missouri Pacific to Colo.
RADIO.
A number have been heard to say
today that they do not remember an
October food here, but that shows
that people have short memories.
-Four years ago on The second day
Of October, there was just such a
flood. and at that time the water
raised to six feet. The next flood
back from chat time was in June of
1903, when the river reached mark
Of five and four-tenths feet.
Up the river most Of the wagon
bridges are said to be washed away,
and people here are feeling pleased
over our fine steel bridge which is in
to stay, and is safe to cross any time.
