Will CASE
SETTLED

A compromise has been effected in
the contest of the will of the late
Prince David Kawananalloa and the
court proceedings will be dropped at
once. The settlement was effected out
of court and only part of the details
are obtainable The main object in
the suit was said to be to prevent the
appointment of John Colburn as exc
cutor of the estate, but this point has
been waived and he will be given the
position.
Princess Kawananakoa will take her
dover share in the Kapiolani estate,
which is capitalized at $500, 900, but is
believed worth very much more. This
will give her one-third of the half
which her husband owned She also
will receive the other property which
was left her by the will
The will was admitted to probate
this afternoon.

KAU AND KONA
ARE VERY DRY

Extremely bad droughts on the Pa
hala side of the island of Hawaii, with
water costing 25 cents a bucket for
horses and soda water being used for
shaving, is the report brought back
from the big island by Attorney e. A..
Douthitt, who came back from trip
by the Mauna Loa this morning. In
addition to this Attorney Douthitt re-
ports that a disastrous fire occurred
a few days ago in the cane on the Pa
hala plantation i'm which between sew
enty-fve and eighty acres of cane
wer completely destroyed.
In speaking OF the situation he said:
THAT entire size of the Island is as
dry as a bone. At Pahala, you can
understand the situation when l saw
tina; they have had but 4.S1 inches of
rain in the past six months AT Naa-
lehu, the rainfall in thirteen months
has only amounted to a very little
over an inch. The water for ordinary
domestic purposes can hardly be OBJ
tanned and a man driving through
there with four horses a couple of
weeks ago would be compelled to pay
a dollar to get a bucket of water a
piece for his animals. Even the cac-
tus was wilted from the lack of mois-
ture. The cane is dried up to such an
extent that in some places it is al
most a total loss.
