FARCHILD SAYS THE
TIME IS too SHORT

The time within which the Makee
Sugar Company were TO return an an
swer to the governments proposition
in regard to the Kapaa 4nds expired
day before yesterday, according to
letter written by Land Commissioner
Pratt before the latter left for the
Coast on the Alameda.
Manager Geo. H. Fairchild has writ
ten the following letter to the Land
Commissioner, insisting that under the
circumstances the time allowed is too
short.
James W. Pratt, Commissioner of
Public Lands for the Territory of
Hawaii, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: am in receipt of yours
of the 21st inst, giving me until the
18th inst. in which TO either accept or
reject your general proposition as out
lined in yours of the 18th.
1t seems to me common justice that
I should be allowed to communicate
with Col Sp@lding before acting on
your offer or committing myself for
or against your proposition. The Gov
eminent has taken long periods of time
in the past before acting upon various
phases of the land matters now under
consideration, and I feel so emphaticaI-
~ the improperly of passing judg
ment for Col. Spalding on those mat
tiers of such far-reaching consequence
to him without hearing fully from him
that / must decline to take actionvNon
your offer before this can be done.
The Makee Sugar Co. has been in
business for a long time in this Terri
tory. has developed a large business
interest here and paid thousands of
dollars into the public Treasury in one
way and another. 1t has been a tenant
of the Government for many years and
| believe that you will see the i'm
prepriety of considering negotiations
between the Makee Sugar Company
and the Government in reference to
the lands in question closed because I
stand firmly to the right of eommuni-
eating fully with my principal and OBJ
tanning his views upon these important
issues Yours very truly,
GEORGE H. FAIRCHILD.

MRS. TURMAN's LECTURES.

At her second lecture on Tuesday
evening, Mrs. thurman said in part:
New thought proves to man his
own power = for instance, telepathy,
now accepted as fact by the most
scientific minds. 1t shows us where
heaven is and how we may live in the
glory of God here anf now.
New thought gives us a spiritual
understanding of the Bible. He who
is empty of the true conception of self
is a bottomless pit. -
The next lecture viii be on Thurs
day evening. For the remainder of the
course, Mrs Truman has preferred to
take the library on the back of the
second moor of the building, for there
it is more quiet. Lectures begin at
promptly Admission 35 cents. The
first two lectures have been given on
the ground floor in the permanent ex-
hibition room The semiaSnua1 exhi-
bition is occupying the main hall up
stairs.

sic for the celebration, the speakers
being United States Judge S. B. Dole
and Walter G. smith. Invitations viii

of the evening viii be Chief Justice
Hartwell and special music will also
be prepared for this service.
The program and list of speakers for
the Christian church has not as yet

The cells form the suborder of the
apoda, or footless fish, so called from
the absence Of ventral fms. These fish
assume a form very similar to the SER
penis. Although on a INSTRUMENTATION
they seem to be devoid of scales, yet
when the skin is dried very minute
scales may. be seen through the semi
transparent outer skin and may be
easily detached by carefully separating
the two skins. Eels inhabit muddy
ponds and rivers and are common in
many canals. They are susceptible to
cold and constantly descend the rivers
to deposit their spawn in the sea,
after which the young when hatched
work their way up the rivers, thereby
precisely reversing the habits of the
salmon. They are capable of living
out Of water for long time and often
make voluntary land excursions, either
for the purpose of avoiding an insur-
mountable fall or in search of frogs or
worms, on which they feed In the
winter, while they are lying torpid in
the mud, multitudes are taken by eel
spears-many pronged instruments.
whose prongs are feathered with re-
curved barbs, which, when pushed
into the mud, entangle the eels and
06ectually prevent their escape.

Fence posts Of many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily would
soon decay if set in the ground can
be made to last for twenty years by
a simple treatment with creosote.
Most Of the so-called inferior"

ment, and this is especially true of
cottonwood, aspen. willow, syca-
more. low-grade pines, and some of
the gums. When properly treated,
these woods outlast untreated cedar
and oak, which are becoming too
scarce and too much in demand for
other uses to allow of their being
meeting the demand for fence posts.

been greatly cheapened by the in
