Some time ago the Knudsens of Ka-
uai applied for the sale at auction Of
about 2eo0 acres OF sandy land lying
between Kekaha and Mana on the
western side OF Kauai. This is gov
ernment land that is under lease to
them, but the lease has only a few
more years TO run. They offered that
If the land was put up for sale that
they would surrender the remaining
term Of the lease.
The land is really accretions that
have been built up in the course of
time and lies makai of the Kekaha
canefields and of the swarnps that
themselves lie makai of the cane
fields" says Land Commissioner Pratt.
1T is a comparatively narrow strip ex-
tending for three or four miles north
and south. There are aIgaroba trees
at the extreme northern end and at
the extreme southern end But be-
tween there is no growth Of any
value"
After conference Governor Frear and
Land Commissioner Pratt have deter
miried TO put the land up in lots Of
about 500 acres each on agreements Of
sale conditioned on the putting of the
land under sisal during the five years
the agreement has to run.
It is estimated that it viii cost s5o.-

NEW FEATURES
FOR FLORAL
PARADE
GartIey Outlines His
Program for the
Big Event.

If the plans of A GartIey, chair
man of the Floral Parade committee
for 1908, mature one-haif as wei as
he expects the floral celebration of
Washington s birthday viii be by long
odds the best ever held in Honolulu
at the meeting of the Promotion Com
mittee yesterday afternoon Mr.. Cart
ley outlined his schemes and received
for them the hearty approval Of the
members. R. X. Bonine, who is here
TO secure series of moving pictures
of the event, was also at the meeting
and was consulted during the discus
sion of the outlined program, giving
the committee some ideas that he had
picked up while watching the recent
New Years floral parade IN Pasadena.
Mr.. GartIey reported that he was
meeting with a great deal of eneour-
agement throughout the town, particu-
larly from the automobilists, who ap-
peared to be showing much more in
terest IN the matter than on any
former year. He proposed also TO in
terest the various schools, if possible,
and get them to cooperate by having
floats in the parade He bad also in
view asking the St. Louis College
Alumni, the Kilohana Art League, the
Kamehameha Alumni, the Civil Service
represented by the Postofice and Gus
toms House. the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps and Militia to take part in the
parade He had great hopes of securing
the help of all of these.
NEW FEATURES THIS YEAR
An international section in the
parade is ene of the new features for
this year that Mr.. Gartley has great
hopes of carrying through. Els idea
Is that the various nations represent
ed in Honolulu should arrange for rep
resentation in the parade. America,
Great Britain, Germany, Portugal,
Spain, Japan, China, France and the
other nationalities viii be asked to
take part through their various eonsuIs,
and floats or automobiles decorated
with the national colors and emblems
of all the nations of the polyglot popu-
lation would make one of the finest
and most interesting sections of the
parade.
