LAND WANTED
IN THE kONAS
Bishop Estate Receives Many
AppIications-Bi Rent
for Ranch.

Development is in the air Of the
Kona districts of Hawaii like a veri-
table cloud of refreshing promise.
James B. Castles large enterprises
are the leading features in the outlook,
but there are others.
Frank S. Dodge. manager OF the
Bishop estate, stated TO an Advertiser
reporter yesterday that an application
had been received for a tract Of two
or three hundred acres Of land in the
estates Kona domain for tobacco cuI-
tivation.
BY the very last mail from Kona no
less than five applications for land had
been received by the estate. Four of
them We're for small farm lots of fif-
teen to twenty acres. One was for a
tract Of 400 acres of land.
A striking instance of the demand for
land in the Konas was furnished by
grazing land at Kealakehe-H -Honuaula,
North Kona. at public auction by Land
Commissioner Pratt yesterday.
The term of the lease was for TWEEN
ty-one years and the upset annual
rental placed on it was $500. John
Broad had to bid an annual rental Of
$561 before the lease was Knocked
down to him. on a basis Of eight
years rental, adopted for tax assessing
purposes, the figure represents a valu-
alton of $3.50 an acre, which is pretty
good for wild pasture land in the vol
cano country. a Portuguese rival
gave the purchaser a merry run for his
ranch at the auction block

OCEANIC SHIPS
MAY COME BACK
Auckland Paper Says Sonoma
Will Sail Again Next
Month.

According to reports received in this
city, the vessels of the Oceanic steam
ship Company viii go back on the run
between San Francisco and Australia,
commencing next month. This report
has come from two sources-one from
San Francisco and the other from Aus
traRa. Irwin & Co, the local agents
for the Oceanic Company, have heard
of the rumors. but state that they
have not received any advices them
selves on the subject.
In the files of papers received from
Auckland on the Royal Mail liner MILO
vera. which came in last Friday, was
an article stating that the steamship
Sonoma would be the first of the
Oceanic boats to start back on the
Australian run. She was. according
TO this report, to make her first trip
next month, leaving san Francisco on
February 4
It seems strange that no news should
have been made public from the of
fees of the Oceanic Company. if such
is the case. The meeting of the stock
holders to consider the situation is to
be held IN San Francisco on January
29. and final decision on the laying
up or possible sale OF the Sonoma.

that time.

ALL SUPPLIES

BIDS
Supervisors to Apply
Business Principle
in Future.

Commencing with the month of
February the purchase of supplies for
the stables of the Honolulu road de-
partment viii be made by tender This
was the promise made yesterday by
Supervisor Dwight, chairman of the
road committee.
We have been considering the ad-
visibility of asking for tenders for
the hay and grain used in the govern
ment stables, he said yesterday, . and
/ think that is what we viii do after
this. notifying the different firms each
month of cur requirements and securing
their prices, the contract for the month
to 90 to the lowest bidder
VIII the supplies for February be
purchased in that wayl'' he was asked.
Yes, think they will. I expect to
see Chairman Hustaee this very after
noon about the matter
This is the very satisfactory ending
promised to what would have been
something of a row. Ever since the
, beginning of county government no
blenders have been called for for the
supplies of the road department, al
though the hay and grain accounts have
been amounting to an average of near
" fifteen hundred dollars a month. Up
until six months ago the supplies were
purchased sometimes from the Califor-
MIA Feed Company and sometimes from
the Union Feed Company, but during
the period since July all the business
has been given to the Hustaee-Peek
Company and the other firms have been
complaining that they have been given
no opportunity to bid.
In explanation OF this both Chair
men Hustaee and Supervisor Dwight
state that it had been found that the
county was paying too much and that
the change had effected a saving Of
many hundreds Of dollars TO the tax
payers Mr.. Hustaee referred the whole
question to Mr. Dwight, as the man
in whose hands the whole matter rest
ed. Mr.. Dwight. while insisting on
his statement that the county was be-
ing saved money now, made the promise
Of call for future tenders, as above.
Mr.. Husfaee stated also that he had
long been in favor in calling for ten
ders and had repeatedly spoken to
Dwight about It.

between Cake and Fulton, the bitter
arraignment of Fulton by Heney,
embittered both sides, and the discon-

The Oregonian's peculiar attitude in

votes for Cake. When the Oregonian

These are a few OF the reasons why

No Wonder He Fled.

A tall, solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with a mild,
apologetic air and seated himself at a
vacant table near the middle OF the
room. 1t was evident that he dreaded
to intrude. He wanted to get as far
away from other people as possible.
He even blushed painfully when he
gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashful. Just as his dinner was
brought to him a buxom looking wo-
man with seven small children entered
the place. The head waiter swepr the
field with his eye, pounced down upon
the table where the young man had
sought solitude, motioned to the moth
er, who clucked to the chickens, and
a moment later they were all around
that one table.
That young mans face was a serial
story.
Other people entered the restaurant.
glanced at the group, smiled signlA-
cantly and seated themselves.

table.

The Walla Walla Bulletin publishes
the following complimentary and sem
slble editorial on the eection of United
States senator in oregon at the recent
state election.
The state OF Oregon has again come
to the front as one OF the great states
of the Union By celebrating and DEM
onstrating the greatest principle Of
our republican form OF government
that the people rule.
Direct primary laws for the election
Of candidates for United States sena-
tors, as well as other officials, have
been enacted in many states, but none
cmbody a statement No /, that the
candidate receiving the majority Of
votes cast at the primary shall, re-
gardless Of party, be elected
The nomination Of candidates for
United States senator by the people
has been a great step in the reform
movement Why the election of sem
ators by the people should be termed
visionary is beyond us. The fact that
democratic senator should receive a
majority Of the votes cast is no slur
on the people, but compliment to
their intelligence.
BY voting for Chamberlain, they
evinced a desire for his election and
they should have him. While we
strongly believe in the tenets of the
republican party and while we prefer
the election of a republican wherever
possible we realize that the election
of Chamberlain was not blow at re-
pubicanism, in that the rest of the
republican ticket was elected, but 1t
evidenced the fact that the people of
Oregon want Chamberlain to repre-
sent them in the United States senate,
and the oregon legislature is in duty
bound to send him there. 1t sounds
inconsistent that republicans should
elect a democrat to office, but If the
majority of the people choose man
TO represent them, the highest princi-
pie of our electoral form of govern
ment by and for the people, the ap-
parent Inconsistency should therefore
vanish.
The American people are becoming
better acquainted as to their rights
and privileges and the power of the
ballot BY being able to vote directly
for United States senator they feel
that they will be truly represented in
the United States senate. They feel
that the man they want Is the best
man for them, and party lines often
become eliminated when they are
seeking the best man.
Judge Cake Is an able, conservative
man, but he is not as well known to
the people at large as Chamberlain,

OREGON APPLES VALUABLE.
Sell for Thirty Cents Apiece i'm New
York.

YORK,
"Oregon apples will in time be as
famous as California oranges"
"The commercial value of good ap-
pies is greater than that of oranges
and oregon should profit thereby"
That is the summary of w. H. Sell
leck's opinion, and he says there are
many in New York who agree with
him. Mr.. Selleck is connected with
the Securities corporation of 10 Wall
street, and travels most of his time
between New York and London and
London and Paris.
He goes on to say tnat he himself
when in New York buys them every
day at the fruit stands and pays Is
TO 90 cents apiece for them, and does
not consider 1t money i'll spent. Ger
tain kinds of apples are sold there
under the general name of Oregon
apples. and this is advertisement
enough. They are Spitzberg, New
town Pippins and the Banana apple.
The Banana apple, which has never
been grown elsewhere, Mr.. Selleck
pays 30 cents for at the fruit stands.
Mr.. Selleck is eager that the COM
mercial bodies here take up the mat
ter of Systematically advertising Ore
gon apples so as to give them the
prestige that the California orange
enjoys, and he says it will be an easy
matter and a remunerative one, for
the commercial value of the apple is
greater than that of the orange.
