State and Government Reclamation.

Oregon has 100000 acres of govern
ment land Withdrawn from entry,
pending reclamation by the state under
the provisions of the Carey act. This
area is equal to the combined area Of
all irrigated land at the present time,
or nearly twice the combined area OF
the klamath and Umatilla irrigation
projects of the government.
During the first six months of 1907
the state land board authorized the
sale of water rights to these desert
lands. amounting to S4,692,7OO. The
hoard nut off this action until after
fine adjournment of the legislature,
hoping that the legislation which they
had recommended for the protection of
settlers might be enacted. The state
is now in the deplorable position OF
authorizing the sale of a commodity
which it owns, but over which it has
no control. It is attempting to super
wise the expenditure of millions of dol
lars in the interest of future settlers,
without appropriating a single cent
for administrative purposes =.
Already the state has begun suit
AGAINST one of these companies because
of the sale of some 100000 worth OF
water rights to intending settlers
where there is no water to supply, ana
the false economy practieed may ulti'
matelv result in a demand upon the
LEGISLATURE by these settlers that their
Loss he reimbursed. In this matter oil

DEPUTY FOR
DR.. NORGAARD
From saturdays Advertlser)

From saturdays Advertiser.)
The movement inaugurated scme
months ago by DR.. Norgaard, the Ter
ritorial Veterinarian, to establish an
efficient staff of assistants throughout
the Islands was given an impetus yes
terday when DR.. Elliott, V. S., of Hilo,
was commissioned as Deputy Terri
torial Veterinarian and Live Stock In
spector for the districts, of North and
South Hilo, Puma and Kau. This is
the first of such deputies to be ap-
pointed, but it is the hope of DR..
Norgaard and of the members of the
Animal Industry committee the
Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry
that within a very short while there
will be competent veterinarians act
ing with the authorities in all the is
lands.
The movement is being undertaken
by joint action among the various
plantations and ranches of the islands
and the Bureau of Agriculture, the
stock owners guaranteeing business
enough to make an incote, with the
salary of $3.50 a MONTH With this
guarantee DR.. Norgaard confder: of
being able to place con1etent men in
the outside districts to handle the
stock diseases that now exist and pre-
vent the introduction of others.
DR.. Elliott left yesterday for Hilo in
with C. C. Kennedy and ].
j. Garden, who had been authorized by
the plantation and ranch owner. Of
the Hilo districts to represent them
in the matter of an appointment and
in the guaranteeing of salary. During
their stay here several conferences
were held with members of the Bureau
Of Agriculture and the Territorial
DR.. Norgaard is anxious now to see
The other districts follow this example
as there are existing contagious dis
Eases to be fought, especially gland

ions of stock are now on the way

other step toward preparing for pos
sible trouble in the Pacific was taken
today when consideration of better
defenses for the Hawaiian Islands was
begun by the House Committee on
Naval Affairs.
1t is probable that the committees
bill will authorize the construction of
naval station at Pearl Harbor and
that big drydock will be built there
eventually. The project has been
under consideration for some time by
the Navy Department.
The advantages of such a course,
pointed out to the committee today by
representative men from the islands,
who urged the establishment of a
naval base at Pearl Harbor and also
the building of a fiotilla of submarine
torpedo boats to defend American in
terests there.
Prince Jonah Kalanianaole, the Del
egate of Hawaii in Congress, address,
ed the committee at some length. He
presented maps and charts showing
the strategic position of the islands
and the commanding position which
Pearl Harbor occupies. He asserted
that Daniel Webster had declared as
Secretary of State that because of its
advantageous location no other nation
than the United States should be al
lowed to gain possession of Hawaii.
He quoted from Capt. Mahan to show
that the Notifications and the main
tenance of a naval base there were
indispensable to our mastery over the
Pacific and that Hawaii ought to be
made the Gibraltar of the Pacific.
George B. Mcclellan, representing
the Merchants Association of Hawaii,
and F. NJ. Hatch of the Chamber of
Commerce of Honolulu were intro
duced to the committee Mr.. McCleI-
Ian said that the island had been
waiting for> the construction of de-
lenses for ten years since annexation.
Mr. Mcclellan devoted much of his
attention to an argument in favor of
building and stationing a f1otilla of
submarines in Hawaiian waters. The
location of the islands, he said, made
an ideal operating ground for such
boats.
The estimated cost of the Pearl Har-
Dor station is 100000 and to begin
the work an expenditure of 100000 is
asked for this year. The committee is
likely to give favorable consideration
to the matter

Yet the original statute was framed
conditions such as could only with
difficulty, if at all, be construed so as
subsidy. According to the approval
now reported from Washington, all
legal objections would appear to have
been overcome and Hawaii, having
started its college, will get the money.
At present the Federal subsidy to
each college is $4,000 year-an in
crease of $4,000 since a college for
Hawaii began to be agitated-and
$4,000 additional each year until the
maximum of $4,000 a year Is reached.
Under the local legislation Of last
year, providing for the establishment
of the College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, appropriations from
the Territorial treasury were made of
$4,000 for buildings and $4,000 for adj
ministration expenses.
AS well known, a site for permanent
buildings has been secured in Manoa
Valley, the college has been started
in temporary quarters in town, with
an efficient corps of instructors, and
free course of evening lectures is at
tended by nearly fifty enrolled stu
dents. Moreover as already reported
in the Advertiser, the Board of Re
gents has good hopes of now securing,
as dean of the college, Franklin Sum-
ner Earle, one of the ablest specialists
United States Government has ever
employed.

CONFIDENCE

said Lord Chatham, "is a plant
% slow growth" People believe
in things that they see, and in
broad sense they are right. What
Is sometimes called blind faith is
20t faith at all. There must be
reason and fact to form foun-
dalton for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, "Has it cured 9TH
ers? Have cases like mine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy of conf
dence; and if | am ever attacked

This probably means" Governor
Frear said with reference to the dis
patch from Mr.. Rabbit now visiting
Washington, that the Attorney Gen
erals department has rendered an
opinion to the Treasury department
favorable to us.
when I was in Washington I urged
the case of Hawaii in the Interior
department, the Education bureau of
that department and the Attorney
Generals department. The Attorney
Generals was the only one to be heard
from when I left. Approval of the
Commissioner of Education, who at
first ruled against US, had been gain
ed. The Interior department gave an
adverse ruling two years ago.
''As the matter has stood until this
message came, the plan was that,
after the College got well under way,
would write to have the money paid.
According to the law, before the Leg
islature meets, the Governor gives his
assent to the payment of instruments
of the subsidy. One of the require
ments is that the Legislature shall
accept the money.
Il hope to get the money in the
course of four or five weeks, having
already written for it."
Each state and territory in the
Union is entitled, under the statute
for that end provided, to share in the
Federal support to agricultural COL

STATEMENT OF DELEGATE KA-

Mr.. Kalanianaole. Mr.. Chairman, 1
shall not occupy the time of the COM
rnittee with any arguments of my own
in regard to the Importance of a naval
base at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian
Islands. Instead I shall simply cite
some historical facts to show how con-
clusively and for how long time the
strategic value of Pearl Harbor and
the Hawaiian Islands has been official
ly recognized by the government Of
the United States.
Beginning in 1912, President Tyler
gave notice to European nations that
the United States would never consent
70 their occupying the Hawaiian Is
lands.
In 1851. when the French wefe
threatening to occupy Hawaii, Daniel
Webster, then Secretary of State,
wrote: I hope the French will not
take possession of Hawaii; but If they
DO. they viii be dislodged, if my ad-
vice is taken, if the whole power of
the government is required to do II"
William L Marcy, when Secretary Of
State. reiterated the declaration that
Hawaii would not be permitted to fall
into the hands of any European ma
ton. Up to that time there was no
menace Of Hawaiian occupation by any
nation other than European.

when King Kalakaua was the reigning
monarch Of the Hawaiian Kingdom,

MAN WRITES
 OF IMPRESSIONS IN WEST

Seattle, Wash. August 16-(special)- This is a town that will make any city in America sit up and take notice when 1t comes to doing things.
 In the first place, Seattle has gone ancient Rome one better, and instead of being built on seven hills, has about TO- or so it seems to the casual observer. They are real hills, too, that nothing ex- cept a goat and cable car can climb, so naturally the street grading proposition in building the city has been something enormous. In several places I've seen streets cut down over 50 feet leaving the houses standing up in the air on im- mense bluffs.
 The retail district of the town Is grow ing and spreading out to such an extent that 1t has been found expedlent to cut down not only the streets but the blocks themselves, to accomplish which all resi- dences, stores, churches or other buildings on the property have to be torn down. This is rather rough on the property owners, but it is left to a majority vote of the owners on each hill which it is proposed to regrade whether the work shall be done or not.
 For instance, work has just begun on the Denny hill regrade. the largest earth moving project ever attempted in Seattle. Over 5,50O,OO0 cubic yards of earth is to be moved, at cost of over $1,000,00O; the surface of 30 city blocks is to be changed; grade to the eastward of 20 or~30 per cent will be converted into a 1 per cent average grade westward.
 Some idea of the size of this job can be gained when it is compared with the Hanover Place grading of the Birming- ham Realty company, in which about &C., 900 yards of earth is being moved. This is probably the largest job of the kind in Birmingham this year.
 Seattles method of doing this grading is extremely simple, but intensely inter- esting They turn immense four-inch Jets of water on the dirt to be moved ana wash it down into the bay. special pumping plant is used and the water taken directly out of the bay. One day last week it pumped slightly over 14'Ooo,- eco gallons of water.
 Most of the dirt is being put in a shal-
 
 low part of the bay, which is being filled I'D to be used as business property. The city has built mile after mile of elevated streets over these mud flats, as they are called, and gradually business houses are being built further and further out from what was once the seashore.' l had a lot pointed out to me which had never covering of salt water-price $looo' governing of salt water-price slo,ooo. Many fortunes have been made in these mud flats.
 This scheme of hydraulic grading was gotten up by two young lawyers in Seat tie, and they have wonderfully good thing out of it. They get 10 cents yard for washing out the dirt from the hill, and 15 cents yard from the owners Of the mud flats whose property is filled up' It is supposed to cost them considerably under 10 cents a yard for the whole process,

The Coal Miners of Indiana Have a
 Grievance.

Terre Haute, Ind, August 16.-Ten thousand coal miners in the Indiana field may be called out by W. D. Van Horn, president of district No. Il of the miners organization. The trouble started at the Rood mine in Sullivan county several days ago over the dis charge of a mule driver who refused to pass under a piece of slate he con- sidered dangerous The miners of ficials demanded his reinstatement with pay for time lost, which was refused, and the mine was shut down when tn c men walked out.
 A majority of the individual mines in the 11th district officially suspended operations this afternoon according to reports received at miners district headquarters here. The remainder of the mines are expected to close by 6 o'clock
