the week in Clay Center visiting the
fellows and attending the Republican

he comes to Clay county and the

him in great shape. He is figuring
on spending about three weeks in
each county from now until the pri-
mary In August when he expects to
carry the district for congressman in
nice shape. Sure Clay county is
quite favorably impressed.

HAWAII AND THE
COASTW|sE MEASURE

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Commerce decided today
TO report -favorably the Piles bill to
amend the laws concerning transporta-
tion between the ports of the Territory
of Hawaii and other ports of the United
States. Perkins has been trying to de-
feat the BILL and the shipping interests
of San Francisco have been urging that
it be tabled, but all the senior senator
from california has been able to ac-
complish has been to get the bill
amended SO that when there shall be
three steamships instead of three lines
of steamships running between the
United States and Hawaii, the act shall
cease to be operative.
The bill reads that ''for a period of
six years from the passage of this act,
passengers may be transported with
out penalty in foreign vessels between
ports of the Territory of Hawaii and
other ports of the United States, pro-
vided, however, that the provisions of
this act shall cease to be operative
whenever at least three additional
steamships of the United States shall
have been esta ablished from the United
States to Hawaii"

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Mrs. Long
worth, radiant in a costume of Alice
blue. entered the executive gallery Of
the House reserved for the Presidents
family and diplomats a few minutes
before the House was called to order
at noon. Finding a tack on the floor,
the daughter of the President un-
thinkingly placed it on chair adjoin-
ing the one she occupied. 4 very
pompous diplomat, a member of the
party coming in a few minutes later,
sat on the tack and he got up again,
snothering some language that would
not sound well in the parlor. Mrs.
Longworth was so overcome with
merrilnent that she left the gallery.
The tack was today shown around
the Capital by an official, who an
nounced that he will keep it as a relic.

FRElR TOUCHES UP
kAPAA LAND MATTER

A long letter from Governor Frear
was received by Acting Governor Mott
Smith yesterday. 1t was written from
Washington May IA. In this letter
Governor F'rear touched on a large
number of matters. One of these was
the Koolau lands which may be opened
up for pineapples. He said that he did
not see how the speciar conditions pro-
posed could be attached to the Settle
ment Association plan and he did not
approve the Settlement Association
plan.
Another matter was the Kapaa lands.
He said he had received no word from
r. P. Rithet as to the whereabouts of
Col. Spalding and asked if Mr.. Mott
Smith had. He urged that something
be done as he did not think that the
governments proposition should be
kept open too long.
The Acting Governor also received a
letter from George H. FairchiId in re-
sponse to his own of last week insisting
that something be done. In this letter
FairchiId authorized the following
cablegram which has been sent TO r. p.
Rithet, San Francisco:
Government annoyed at our delay
and inability to locate Spalding. Gable
at once whether he has been located,
that we may give some valid reason
for our failure to answer.

PEARL HARBOa NAVAL
AND REPAIR SHOP

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Civil En-
Engineer G. S. BurreIl, United States
Navy, will leave San Francisco May
18th for Hawaii, the former officer be-
ing detached from the Portsmouth
navy yard and the latter from the navy
yard at Boston in order to superintend
the work of establishing naval dock
yard and repair shop at Pearl Harbor.
The civil engineers will conduct a sur
vey and make borings to determine the
site for the new dock.
Orders have been issued to Civil En-
gineer Parks to report to the beard
of naval officers, of which the presi-
dent will be Captain Seaton Schroeder
and which will convene at Honolulu
on the arrival of the Atlantic fleet in
Hawaiian waters. The schroeder board
will make recommendations to the
Navy Department regarding the 1oca-
ton of shops and dock and submit
plan of construction and development
of the proposed station, for which Con-
gress at the present session has made
provision by appropriating S1,000,0O0
and establishing limits of cost of
81 OG0. 600 for the dock, s.. 900 for the
dredging. $500, 600 for the shop, 100000
for a storehouse and 100000 for mis-
ceIlaneous items.
The important question for the con-
sideration of the Schroeder board will
be the location and dimensions of the
dock. The latter feature will undoubt-
edly contemplate a structure of the
concrete granite type, of a size which
will accommodate the largest of the
battleships. also taking into consider

| SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-Princess
Mainhinihi Salmon, sister of Queen
Marau, arrived in this city yesterday
on the Mariposa form Tahiti With
! the Princess was Miss NJ. Bracken,
who inherited from her mother about
a year ago one-half of the island of
Tetiaroa, one of the most valuable of
the entire group; Miss NJ. c. Park

acting as chaperon for the young lad

brief stay in the United States, hav-
ing come principally for the sea voy-
age. Miss Bracken, whose stepfather
is DR.. Williams, very wealthy dem
tist of Papeete, the principal city of
Tahiti, will visit the East before re-
turning to her home in Papeete.

Attired in a simple blue native
frock, Princess Salmon looked the
picture Of perfect health and ease. The
great changes in San Francisco since
her last visit to the United States,
about six years ago, were a source of
much wonder to her. The assemblage
of men-o'-war in the harbor also in
terested her very much, as did the
decorations and the tales of the fes-
tivities for the fleet.
The Princess brings news of the first
real industry that has ever been start
ed on the wonderful sum- baked islands
of the South seas. Some Englishmen,
cruising among the more remote little
islands last September, made an ex-
ploring expedition over fMakateo, one
of the little islands of the Paumotu
group, and discovered that it was a
veritable open mine of phosphate. A
quantity was taken back
to England, where it was found to
be one of the richest deposits yet
found. company was organized and
have so far advanced that
some shipments will be made within
the next sixty days. Whether it can
be made to pay remains to be seen, !
but meanwhile the islands are very en-
thusiastic over the first real industry
that has ever been conducted there.
