25OO TIES
PER DAY.
THE BIG CAPACITY OF A LUMBER
MILL ORDERED BY LOCAL COM
PANY THIS MORNING.

The directors of the Hawaiian Ma
kogany Company met this morning at
the office of Bruce Cartwright, to con-
slider the offer that had been made to
them by the Matson Navigation Com
pany relative to the carrying of ohia
ties for the Santa Fe Railroad con-
tract.
However, according 20 the directors
afterwards, nothing regarding the
steamship question was decided on(
the only business done at the meeting
was the authorization of the Board to
send to the Coast at once for the tie
mill which will be here within two
months, and will cost in the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000 The capacity of this
mill, according to the treasurer of the
company, A. n Campbell, will be 25OO
ties daily.
Mr. Campbell, as well as several 9TH
er members Of the company, when ask
ed if the Matsons offer would be ac-
cepted, replied: THAT matter will be
decided upon in the very near future.
AS the Matson bid is the lowest by a
good many hundreds of dollars. it is
most likely that the line will get the
contract for the carrying of the ties. .
w. w. Harris, manager of the COM
pany, and II. c. Haner, the new mill
manager, left this noon on the Kinau
for HilO.

ditiOn of affairs which can be given is
to take up the docket as it stands at
present. A jury has been called for
the oath of the present month. That
jury can last only until some time
early in April when a new term of
court opens From the time it is i'm
panneled until the time when the court
adiourns, you will be fully occupied
with the trial of criminal cases. The
case of the United States " Dillon viii
consume four or five days; the Hirano
cases, involving the importation of
women for the purpose of prostitution
and perjury in obtaining admission to
the United States, will consume several
days. the Harmon perjury case will
probably consume three or four days;
the Wynne murder case should con-
sumo at least two weeks the Rosen-
berg cases will consume several days,
and the Lee Sa Kee case on a former
trial took ten days; the Lam Zip cases
when tried will consume at least a
week. From this brief enumeration of
the many cases pending, you will see
that the time will be used up and that
it will be necessary for several cases
to go over to the April term. l might
mention, in passing, that the grand
jury will meet on February oath, and l
anticipate the return by it of many
indictments. The trial of these cases
will leave you no time whatsoever for
the consideration of civil matters
which are already pending, and which
will come along. l know you have
before you the Lumber Trust case in
which there are about a tho9sand
pages of evidence to be considered; the
Pacific Dredger case, involving some
$4,000, with a vast amount of testi-
mOny; the Manchuria case, involving
100000, where the evidence is very

DECISION STARTLES THE LANO OFFICE

The decision of the Circuit Court at
Hilo in the case of The Territory
against Judge Hapai, sustaining the
Judge in his claim to a homestead lot
at Oiaa, although he has not made a
bonafide home of the place according
to the terms of the law, but instead
has made his home almost all Of the
time in Hilo, has caused some con-
sternation in the Land Office,
"Why unless we can get that deci-
sion reversed by the higher courts, 4"
said Land Commissioner Pratt, "the
whole bottom drops out of our home
stead plans. You or 1 or anyone could
then take up a piece of government
land at about o1e-fifteenth its actual
value, put up some kind of house on
it and put in little furniture, and ac-
quire a title while living here in Ho-
nolulu. Everyone would do it too, and
we wouldn't have any actual settlers
at ALL"
Mr.. Pratt went on to say that of the
several hundred Olaa homesteaders
there are sure to be a large number
who will move to Hilo to live as soon
as the Hapai case is affirmed. The
matter will no doubt be strongly fought

CONSUL
MONSIEUR RENE MENANT AR
RIVES HERE TO REPRESENT
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT.

Rene Menant, the new Consul OF
France for Honolulu, arrived this
morning on the French steamer Malte
after a passage Of IS days from Mar
seilles, having sailed from the French
port on December II.
At the time of his appointment to
the post of Consul here, he was acting
Vice Consul at Bourgas, Bulgaria, hav-
ing received his commission as consul
on December 81. During the Spanish
American war Mr.. Menant was serving
as Acting Consul and in charge of the
consulate in-Manila, havig been remov-
ed shortly afterwards to Santiago,
Chile.
Monsieur Menant, when asked for
his first impressions of Honolulu, re-
piled through Acting Consul A. Mar
ques: THE country here seems to be
as far as 1 have been able to see true
paradise, and l intend to remain here
as long as l can.
81 have not enjoyed my trip very
much, as nearly half of the time has
been spent in ports. We were obliged
to stay five days in Port Said on ac-
count of a strike of the coal passers
and the long delays have made both
my wife and myself very tired of the
sea-"
Monsieur Menant, in replying to the
question if he had heard any talk OF
war in Japan, stated that he had heard
absolutely nothing, THE Japanese
seem to have the friendliest feelings
towards Americans, and I personally
do not think that they have any idea
of war

pected to settle down in private life

The matter of securing an amend
ment to the Organic Act to provide for
an additional federal judge here is be-
ing taken up, and will be earnestly
urged on Congress. The amount of
federal court work here is such that one
judge cannot handle it, and Judse Dole
now has on hand large accumulation
of work. The following letter has
been written to Judge Dole by the
United States Attorney, expressing
the need of two judges;
Honolulu, February 7th, 1908.
Hon. Sanford B. Dole, Judge u S.
District Court, Honolulu:
"My Dear Judge:-I have before me
a copy of a letter dated January 22,
1908, addressed to you and written by
Mr.. F. M. Hatch, relative to the bill
for appointment of an additional fed
eral judge for Hawaii. You have re-
quested me to give my views relative
thereto.
'I unhesitatingly endorse the pro-
posed action and desire to briefly state
my reasons therefor.
81 have been United States Attorney
for the district during the past six
years and have been just reappointed
for new term of six years. Naturally
l have followed the work of the court
closely and have been at all times well
acquainted with the conditions there
in. At the present time it is putting
it mildly to say that the work of the
court has so increased as to make ii
almosS impossible for one judge tc
handle it, I might likewise say that
there is reason to believe the work in
stead of decreasing will increase. OF

civil work, but in endeavoring to ar.
range the criminal docket become tC

work. The best illustration of the con.
