Lands Bring
High Prices
Leases Bring Big Advances
Over Amount Asked.

Land Agent, w. o. Aiken sold
four lease holds at the court house
steps Monday at noon which brought
big advances over the upset prices
asked by the government.
The lands in question lie between
Makamakaole gulch and Honokohau
on the windward side of West Maui
The first piece of land lies be-
tween Makamakaole and Mana and
contains an area of one thousand
one hundred and fifteen acres and
was offered at an upset price of
$111.50. The bidding was between
Judge Mckay and A. Borba Jr. and
soon ran up to $500 at which figure
it was knocked down to Borba.
The next piece of land was of
seven hundred and seventy seven
acres and was offered at an upset
price of $77. 80 but ran up to S265
at which figure it was knocked down
to M. S. Novite Sr.
The third piece of land contained
an area of 61S acres and was valued
at $4,000 per annum but was sold
to w. B. Keanu for 1925 per annum.
The fourth piece was of one
thousand six hundred and seventy
six acres and was valued at an
annual rental of $50 but was sold
to Manuel Novite Jr. for 1865.
The conditions are that the les
sees will fence off the forest reserves
and keep all stock from the forests
and prevent all fires from spreading
in the forests and that the govern
ment may take any part of the land
that is leased from the lessee at any
time for settlement purposes.
Some of the lands adioins those
recently sold to J. w. L. Marshall
and with the lands he holds would
make good ranch for some one.

A favorable report of Rev. Mr..
Wooley's temperance crusade among
the island schools was rendered by
several of the teachers. At Paia one
hundred twenty-five buttons were
asked for with consent of parents
mostly of Portuguese origin. AT
Kula the effect of Mr.. Wooley's
visit was somewhat marred by the
circulation of a rumor that it was
not temperance but religion that he
was advocating.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Copeland, Crook, and w. l. Wells
was chosen to draft petition to the
legislature indorsing the present
system of public instruction and to
circulate it among the teachers OF
the territory.
There were forty or more present
at this meeting.
