My eyesight failed, headaches and dir

rible pain in the side. I could not re-
tain my food, my complexion was pasty,

were awfully irregular. / went to
Buffalo and was treated by renowned
doctors, but only sank lower and lower
until my friends gave me up to die.

ANNOUNCEMENT

To the Electors of the Third Senatorial
District of the Territory of Ha-
wall:
Gentlemen.-At the election to be
held in November / shall be candi-
date for the Office of Senator. If / am
returned at the polls, [ shall endeavor
to redeem every political pledge
make to the people so far as l am able.
One of the measures / shall demand
is the repeal of the acts providing for
a penalty of TO per cent. and an addi-
tional 10 per cent. interest upon all de-
linquent taxes, and 10 per cent. penalty
upon delinquent water rates payable in
advance. This damnaDIe and unjust
legislation finds no precedent in any
State or Territory of the Union.
This unjust legislation bears heavily
upon the clerk, the laborer, and the Ha-
waiians.
I will introduce an act to amend the
present liquor law and provide therein
for the abolition of the present license
commissioners, and vest the power to
grant licenses in the mayor of the City
and County of Honolulu (limiting the
number), and also provide therein that
supervisors shall issue all licenses in
the several counties, and shall issue to
any reputable person a license to sell
light wines ind beer upon payment of
fee OF $3.50 and furnishing good and
sufficient bond to conduct an orderly
place, and the sheriffs of the several
counties shall be the chief inspectors
under the law, thus cutting down the
expenses at present incurred.
[ will demand the passage of an act
giving full power to assess and levy
taxes by the several boards of super
visors upon the people for municipal
purposes, and will urge other necessary
amendments to the County Act, so that
the people shall have municipal gov
eminent in fact as well as in name.
From time to time between now and
election day, after careful study and
consideration, I will announce the sew
eral measures that Z will introduce and
urge the passage of by the Legislature
of this Territory. / shall go to the
people as an Independent Republican,
supporting any good measures intro
duced by Republicans or Democrats. |
shall make no pledges or enter into any
political engagements that will in any
way impair my obligations to the peo-
pie of this constituency.
/ am a firm believer in the future or
this Territory, and in equal and exact
justice to the people as a whole, and
viii only support such legislation as |
believe will benefit the poor as well as
the rich. The business interests of the
country need have no fear that I will
urge legislation that viii impair the
rights of property holders and citizens.
I solicit your support in the cam
paign and your votes at the polls.
Yours respectfully,
GEO. A. DAVIS.

SURVEY IN kONA
Large Tracts of Heavily Wooded
Land Are to Be
Explored.

TerritoriaH Surveyor Wall IS prepar-
ing to make vastly more complete
survey of South Kona than has ever
been made before.
Below the government road" he
said, South Kona is fairly well known
But above the government road prac-
ticalIy nothing is known. For the mosb
part the forests come down to the road
and even below it. Up above the road
these forests are so thick and heavy
that they have been scarcely penetra-
ted, and there is every reason to be-
Iieve that within that area there will
be found land suitable for every variety
Iof agriculture.
primarily the work we are going
to do will be for the benefit of the For
estry Department, to enable it to know
both boundaries and forests, so that the
Forestry Department VIII have definite
data for its work. In the next place,
though of equal and in some respects
greater Importance, our work will be
for the benefit of the Land Department,
so that it will know the exact area,
boundaries and character of all the
public lands in that region. A very
large portion of the land is government
land. But the boundaries have never
been delimited by actual survey, except
in places and to a limited extent. Most
of the boundaries given on the maps
are conjectural or hypothetical
THE survey we shall make will set
tie the boundary line between Kona
and Kahuku ranch, matter which has
IaGnjfaix-
"One of the greatest Gifnculties we
anticipate is the lack of kamaaina tes-
timony as to ancient boundaries. This
region is SO heavily wooded that neither
whites nor natives for years and years
have penetrated It to any extent, and
hence there is likely to be breaks in
the continuity of traditional knowledge
of landmarks and boundaries. There
have been surveys sufficiently exact to
fix and establish boundary marks for
the principal boundaries, and there
may be found more kamaaina testi-
mony than / anticipate
The survey proposed, while it
may not have been called out by the
application of J. B. Castle to the Board
of Agriculture and Forestry, for a
stumpage license on South Kona gov
eminent lands, is necessary pre-
requisite to the granting of any such
license as that asked for, in the opinion
of the Board of Agriculture and For
estry. When Castles application was
before the board, on the recommended
ton of the committee, action on it was
refused until after just such a survey,
as is now proposed, could be made.
The whole region has been divided
up from time immemoriaI iago small
native districts, each with name. The
boundaries of these distti1ts anciently, |
as everywhere in Hawaii, was known |
to a class of men whose business it |
was to know them and the n."f1iory Of |
the boundary marks was preserved by |
oral tradition. But complete surveys
and locations of boundary marks have
never been made; and that is what is
now to be undertaken.

This matter. of securing few more
Chinese Ieborers for Hawaii, is an I'M
portant one, and I am pleased to be
with you, and say a few words on the
subject. 1 am glad to know of others
who are working hard for the benefit
of our people. Speaking of Chinese
who are now in Hawaii. their numbers
are less than those of some other ma
tionalities who live here, yet more are
needed for the work of rice planting,
that only the Chinese can undertake.
I believe there are now only about
Il, 900 chinese altogether living in these
Islands, and their numbers are getting
less every year, as some of the old men
wish to return to China. Others should
come here to take their places.
As the Chinese were among the very
first to come from abroad to Hawaii,
and aid in it's development, is it not
fair to ask that a few more should be
allowed to come? It will benefit all,
and as Mr.. Thwing has said, it cannot
hurt the labor conditions on the main
land The Chinese are the only ones
who can do the hard work in the wet
rice fields. They have worked faith
fully to reclaim and cultivate large
tracts of land in Hawaii, and have
built up this great industry. Suddenly
they are stopped from coming here,
where for so many years they have
come and gone at will. Labor is get
ting scarce. Those who go back for
visit to China cannot return. No new
ones can come, Is it fair to our peo-
