Road Department Planning to
Do Several Big Jobs
During February.

Beginning on Monday. the first work
ing day in the new month. much new
work will be started by the Honolulu
road department. January sees several
big jobs completed. among these being
the work of grading down the Kahau-

of what was formerly either a dusty
and steep climb or a muddy and al
most impossible one. Now the end Of
King street, where it crosses the mill

been the completion of the School

LEE LET HAS NOW WAITED
A YEAR FOR HIS TRIAL

On Wednesday. January 29, 1907, just
one year ago, A. P. Taylor. the Chief
of Detectives in the Oahu police de-
partment, was approached by the
agent of a Chinese gambling hui and
an offer of fourteen hundred dollars
a week made to him 10 protect the hui
in their gambling operations and allow
them a monopoly of the gambling bus
mess Of Honolulu. Taylor made a full
expose of the dealings of the attempt
ing bribers. arrested Lee Let. the prin-
-cipaI. and turned over to the authori-
ties the amount of gold, $50, given him
as evidence that the offer to bribe
was bona hde.
A few weeks afterwards an fndiet-
ment against Lee Let was returned by
the grand jury on a charge of at
tempting TO bribe an official. but since
that time nothing has been done in his
case except TO continue it from time 10
time throughout all of last year.
The case is on the present criminal

during blow of rough weather, the
boat commanded by Mate Cameron was
earsized and all the men thrown into

taken into the lifeboat, but all the
water and provisions which had been

mountains
The reservation was made with the
idea, have been informed, that the
United States might establish a recu-
peration camp there. The idea at the
time was that troops after service in
the Philippines might be brought there
to recuperate and then sent back to
the Philippines But when soldiers
get this near home they want 10 go
on, so that purpose has never been
carried out There may also have been
some idea of an acclimatization camp
hereto bring down troops and keep
them here for while until they be-
came accustomed to a subtropicaI cli-
mate and then to send them on to the
Philippines. This object. also, has
never bes carried out.

realized, it viii add very large and
a very valuable tract of land to that
already available for settlement"
These L.eilehua lands adjoin the Wa
hiawa colony lands, and, as Governor
Frear points out, something more than
half of the area of the land in pine
apple cultivation in the wahiawa re-
gion is land of this tract cultivated
under subIeases from the Dowsett
Company.
AS long ago as 1903. when it first
began to be demonstrated that this
region was peculiarly well adapted TO
pineappIes, the Advertiser urged that
efforts should be made to secure
return of q part of this land. at least,
TO the Territory, for settlement. Some
effort in this direction has been made
in the past, but Governor Frear seems
to have taken it UP With energy ard
earnestness and with what now ap-
pears great probability of success.

TRAGIC TALE OF THE
SURVIVORS OF THE I'LL
STARRED SHIP ECLIPSE

After some of the most frightful
experiences which cap be undergone
by mortal men, living for sixteen days
in an open boat, with hardly enough
provisions TO allow them to reach land,
and with such small supply of fresh
water that every man except two drank
salt water, the officers and crew Of
the American ship Eclipse reached Hama
last Monday and arrived in Honolulu
ON the Claudine yesterday morning.
Their experience was made the more
dreadful by the fact that three mem
hers Of the crew, through the drinking
of salt water, went crazy and died be-
fore reaching a haven of safety.
Still another and almost more terri
BILE experience was added On the thir-
teenth day after they had left their
ship the shipwreeked crew, than al
most ont of water, and with three
crazy men in their boat, passed within
mile Of a ship, which they declare
must have been the Fort George, and
were unable TO gain a response 10 their
signaling To have the hope of rescue
brought so close and then taken away,
was too much for the men whose brains
had sueeumbed TO the strain. and they
gave up all hope and one after the
other died. without struggle.
In regard to this circumstance there

seription of the Fort George Is most

rescue would have been effected and
the lives Of three men probably saved.

REFUSED Use Of
BASEBALL PARK
Trustees Do Not Want Floral
Paraders to Tear Up
the Diamond.

An objection has been registered
against allowing the Floral Parade
committee the use of the baseball paris
for the finish of the parade and the
judging. This was brought up at the
meeting of the Promotion Committee
yesterday. coming as a surprise to
most of the members, who expressed
themselves as rather astonished that
the trustees, who allowed the Wild
West Show, a private affair. the use
of the grounds. should object at so
public a matter as the Floral Parade.
1t was decided that there must be some
misunderstanding, and the secretary
of the committee was instructed to
communicate with the president of the
baseball league on behalf Of the Floral
Parade committee.
This was one Of the important mat
ters brought up in the meeting. the
other being one introduced, as stated,
by a number of merchants, but not
discussed nor acted upon. being re-
garded as a matter more particularly
for the Merchants Association or the
Chamber Of Commerce TO tackle. This
was the allegation that the more prom
inent Of the Honolulu hotels imported
q great part Of their supplies from
the Coast without giving the local
merchants an opportunity Of even
quoting prices on them. Tnasmuch as
these merchants were large subserib-
ers to the promotion fund. which was
spent for the direct benefit Of the
hotels. it had been thought that TIE
matter would come within the province
of the committee. particularly as It
was stated that the prices at which
the imported goods could be obtained
locally were lower than the imported
price The members decided not to
touch the matter, however

LEILEHUA RANCH

Governor Frear Believes Something More Than

There is a probability that portion
OF the L4eilehua ranch lands, q magnifi-

reserved by the United States for War
Department purposes right away after

Territory for settlement purposes.

down Front The horses were not go

When the horses started down Front
street they went at a breakneck speed,
but Jenkins pluckily got down upon
the pole and picked up the lines that
were dragging on the ground, then got
back into the dray, and soon had the
horses at standstill in front of Fred

that displayed nerve and extreme care,
and spectators expected to see him fall
under the horses and be severely in

Not single short-weight pound OF
butter was found by G. J. Robel
deputy state dairy and food inspector
on recent inspection of the stocks
of local grocers.
There may be a slight exception to
the rule inasmuch as one dealer had
in his ice -chest few packages OF
butter somewhat aged that were not
full sixteen ounce weight, but the
dealer had no expectation of selling
this at regular prices.
In one grocery store Inspector Robel
weighed up five one-pound packages
and found that they weighed seven
ounces over five pounds.
This report will be interesting to
Mankato housekeepers inasmuch as it
shows conclusively that even though
they pay enough for butter, they get
full weight
