TERRITORY HAS
WATER RIGHTS

Deputy Attorney General Whitney
has returned from Waikiki, where he
went to investigate the facts i'll con-
nection with the Waikiki waterworks.
The Wailuku Sugar Company has filed
bill for an injunction restraining the
Territory from taking any water from
the Waikiki river or lao valley eX-
cept what it is entitled to by reason
of the water rights it acquired by pur-
chase from John w. Kalua. 1t is al
legged in the bill that the Territory
started by taking the water to which
it was entitled by reason of its owner
ship of small portion of land having
water right from this source, and by
gradual encroachments now takes 20O,-
900 gallons and more day, to most
of winch it is not entitled.
Deputy Acknowledgement Whitney
found that as matter of fact, while
the Territory is getting much more
water than it is entitled to, merely by
reason of the ownership of small
portion of land having water right,
it is not getting any water that be-
longs to Waikiki Sugar Company. Be-
fore the establishment of the water
works, very many people in Waikiki
had water rights appurtenant to their
land by which they were entitled TO
take from the ancient open bitches
what they needed. The government
has taken the water, or some of it, to
which these were entitled and piped 1t
throughout Waikiki, and in return has
given them free water from the water
works system. In this way the gov
eminent has incorporated into its sys-
TEN the water rights of these various
citizens, and these water rights in the
aggregate amount to more than the
whole volume of water the govern
ment has taken.
The Wailuku Sugar Company, as
konohiki, is entitled to all the water
these several owners of water rights
do not use. In the event of the aban-
donnent by these owners of the water
and bitches it would revert to the
Wailluku Sugar Company by the op'
! Grafton of the statute of limitations
But on the other hand, the statute
would operate in favor of the Terri
] tory, giving it the absolute right to the
quantity of water it has been taking
under the claim of right at the end OF
ten years. Thus the sugar company
while it stood to gain water rights by
reason of the abandonment by indi-
viduals of their rights, stood TO lose
at the same time by reason of the
Territory's use and claim of the water
1t seems to have been for this reason
that the suit was brought at this time
to settle all questions of right that
might arise.
The surrender of private water
! gifts to the Territory, though an &c
tual fact, has not been formally made
at least in most cases. This will nov
be done.

HOW KAUAIANs WANT THINGS.

LIHUE, Kauai, September 26.-The
Advisory Land Law Commission was
in session at the Social Hall, Lihue,
yesterday, and sought to get opinions
from the Kauai people as to changes
in or amendments to the present land
law. Comparatively few people avail
ed themselves of the opportunity of
calling attention to defects that are
generally conceded to exist.
w. II. Rice, ST., thought that the
policy of offering homesteads of twenty
or even forty acres was not going to
attract many settlers of the desirable
kind. But little experience had been
had here on Kauai as to the size needed
for the proper support of family. At
Koloa there had been several independ-
ent cane planters, but they had gone
under. Those who had the smallest
acreage first. He favored homesteads
of 100 acres. He also thought that the
present law gave the commissioner too
much power, and he would like to see
some of it transferred to commission,
with one member from the island where
the land to be sold was situated.
A. S. Wilcox in the main agreed with
Mr. Rice, but thought the law should
be given a certain elasticity, and, there
fore, some discretion should be left the
administration in the matter of de-
termining size and conditions attached
to the homestead agreements.
o. Omsted called attention to the de-
STABILITY of having residence clause
become mandatory, not earlier than
three years after date of agreement;
he would also favor provision in the
statute making homesteads exempt
from execution.
Judge Hardy would like to see the
; administration open the land to desir-
able settlers free of all hampering re-
strictions in the way of enforced resi-
dence. He would favor having the
land graded and homesteads given in
lots of forty to one hundred acres, ac
cording to grade. As TO the land pol
icy, he thought the full value of the
land should be taken as the price, hui
thought it advisable for the admins
tration not to try TO force sales. al
the value of the land would increase
appreciablv within few years.
Geo. II. Fairehild read a letter to th'
Commission, dealing principally will
his ideas of land leases. His main poin
was to force the administration to tax,
some kind of action in the matter o.
, disposing of lands, the lease of whicl
had expired. To that end he recommend
ell a provision whereby the administra
ton would have 20 declare its polio,

Q to the expiration of the lease; that tn
land be then appraised by commission
