cFrom Saturdays Advertiser,

! trom saturdays AdvertiSer.)
| The Kauai Tax Appeal Court has
fixed the assessment of the Makee SUI
gar Company at nearly 100000 more
than it was returned at by the com /,
pany.
This is one of the most important
tax appeal cases before the Kauai tax
appeal board. The assessor assessed
the company's property as an enter.
: prise for profit at $l,000,000. The com
pany returned it at about 100000.
Thus there was n difference of about
100000 between the Territory and the
plantation.
| The Tax Appeal Court has sustained
the plantation in part and the Terri
tory in part, though the Territory has
gained more than the plantation.
The plantation will appeal to the Su-
preme Court.
In the appeals under the pineapple
land exemption clause, the Kauai Tax
! Appeal Court decided as did the Ha-
wall Tax Appeal Court.

way describing the relations of the
newspapermen to the fleet and of some
of the incidents of the long voyage
from Hampton Roads. He and Mr. Pat.
chin of the Herald, he said, were the
sole survivors of the body of newspa-
per men who had started with the fleet
He paid tribute to the abilities and
character of Frederick Palmer and Mr..
Reuterdahl who had been with the ships
for time. OF Reutcrdahl he said
that whatever the opinions held of his
criticisms of the Navy, he had never
written line that he did not believe
true, or from any but patriotic mo-
tive What he had written had done
great good, as every officer in the Navy
was ready, in the bottom of his heart,
to admit.
"Hawaii is the choicest part of the
cOuntry's possessions" said Mr.. Mat
thews. ono, | will not say that. 1t
is the choicest integral part of the
country, it is the choicest part of God 3
footstool."
OF the purpose of the fleet in max
! ing this tour Of the world, Mr.. Mat.
! thews said: 81 would be ashamed of
her scientific, and material accomplish
ments, and of her mental development,
| if thought this fleet was going around
the world for any other purpose than
in the interest of peace; of peace com.
pelling peace. The genius and the
thought of the presence in this harbor,
| in Auckland, in Sydney, and Melbourne,
and in every other port of this ocean,
of this feet, is that the Pacific is dedi-
Gated not to anyone country or any one
interest, but to the commerce and de-
vel0pment of the world; it is notifiea-
| ton that America will not seek to con-
troll the Pacific nor will she allow any
one else to do so. !"
Mr.. Patchin said that Honolulu had
endeared itself to the men and officers
of the fleet by not OVERRIDING the formal
entertainment part of the program. He
told in a pleasant way how both Of
ficers and men were able to more thor
oughly enjoy and benefit by the voy-
age around the world when there was
not too much official entertainment.
Mr.. Rhodes made a short address in
which he spoke of some of the condi-
tions under which the local press had
developed. This ended the speechmak-
