Congressman James W. Good of Iowa
discussed the question of public lands
in the Islands. 'FSome of the people
on the Islands," he said, "want the
reclamation act, with certain local re.
strictions, to apply to the Islands. The
idea is to have the homesteads of less
than 100 acres. To throw open the
Islands to unlimited settlement would
mean that the land would fall into
the hands of the big interests already
there. There should also be laws pass
ed for the protection of American labor
the planters should employ Amer
leans at the skilled labor and not Asia
tics. -
Congressman Good is going to the
Yosemite and Hetch Hetchy valleys to
look into the water rights question
there. He would not discuss San Fran
cisco interests there, saying that he
was as yet unfamiliar with them.
Congressman B. g. Humphreys of
Mississippi, member of the rivers and
harbors committee, spoke strongly IN
favor of the improvement of the har-

people will not agree. would have

WHITE LABORERS
WANTED IN HAWAII
Commissioner Wheeler Tells OF
Investigation in the
Islands.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 90
W. R. Wheeler, manager of the traffic
bureau Of the Merchants exchange,
returned yesterday from Honolulu in
company with United States Senator
W. P. Dillingham; and Prof Fl. A. Mil
lis of Stanford University. Wheeler is
a member of the government commits
sion appointed in 1907 to investigate
the immigration question throughout
the United States. Senator Dnling-
ham is chairman of the commission
and Professor Mills has carried on the
investigation in all states and terri
tories west of the Rocky mountains.
With the work done in Hawaii the
investigations are now completed and
the commission will assemble its data
and make report to the president
next March.
Wheeler said yesterday that they
found in Hawaii among the substantial
men of the Islands a public spirit that
was as surprising as it was gratifying.
White Labor Desired.
"They have come to the eonelu-
sion," he said, ''that the future Of
the Islands depends upon their Amer
icanization and they are prepared to
make personal sacrifices to this end.
While they recognize the present value
of oriental labor they are willing to
accept smaller returns if people of
races that can be assimilated and
Americanized can be induced to per-
form the labor now exclusively in the
hands of Chinese and japanese.
1.-THE Filipinos that have been given
employment are proving satisfactory,
and government agents are now in the
Azores and Siberia trying to interest
the farm laborers of Russia and Portu-
gal in Hawaii. Under the law the gov
eminent may lend to immigration the
aid that the contract labor law forbids
private interests to extend.
The Income Tax.
"The territorial government this
year has added per cent. to the in
come tax, the addition to affect in
comes of more than $4,000 a year. Of
the revenue thus derived three-quar-
tiers will be devoted to aiding immigra-
ton and one and quarter to reclama-
tion work. -
Professor Mills viii go direct to
Washington, where he will assist in
the work of tabulating the data gath
cred throughout the country and in
preparing the commissions final re-
port.

The reform of the public land laws Of
the Territory was also considered
broadly and the question of either ap-
plying the American continental regu-
lations or revising them in such way
as to meet the peculiarities Of the Is
lands has been canvassed by the Wash
ington lawmakers. Legislation to i'm,
prove interisland commerce has also
been considered by the travellers.

Criticizes Local Docks.

E'It pains me as world traveller to
come into your docks and find that,
while some of them are passing fair,
more of them are mediocre and some
absolutely Anticipated. If San Fran
cisco expects the Panama canal to re-
habilitate her languid shipping indus
try, which has been put to sleep by ad-
verse national legislation, let it take
hold and improve the docking facilities
Have them so that a vessel of 10000
or 10000 tons may come into this port
at high tide and not wipe away your
entire dockage system. California
should be wise and patriotic enough to
appreciate that the States best inter
ests lie in inviting the commerce of the
world to her ports. | know that the
project for the enlargement of your
docking facilities was recently defeat
ed by the adverse votes of other sec
lions of the State. l know what was
the matter with those gentlemen-it
was remorse and chagrin. -

that he was most impressed with the

the islands eight years ago and was

Former County surveyor Ernest E. Cook
has been engaged by the Board Of Park
commissioner TO make a new survey and
plat Of the tract In the northern part Of
che city comprising Lakeview park.
The park tract includes Big lake and
considerable adjacent land. A portion OF
this land 10 covered with a heavy growth
OF willows and recently the attention OF
the park commissioners was called to the
fact that about two. acres, of these willows
had been cut down and hauled away, 1t
is said, for railroad work.
1t is TO prevent any further encroach-
ments on the city's property that the park
commissioners decided to rave the park
tract resurveyed and plated. The board
expects to enclose the entire tract at some
future time, which will effectually put a
stop to. any efforts to encroach upon the
eity's property. AS tho land now lies the
park property will have the advantage

BOARD OF EDUCATION PROBLEM
Higher Grades or Tuition In Omaha
for Cut-On Children.

for Cut-On Children.
The Board of Education has rather a
difficult problem in connection with the
graded school at Cutoff, that portion of
the city OF Council Bluffs lying west of
the Missouri river. Only six grades are
maintained In this school and at present
there are five pupils who have passed
above the sixth grade. These pupils were
sent by their parents to the Lake school
in Omaha, and the Omaha school authori-
ties promptly notified the parents that
they would have to pay tuition, as Omaha
was not furnishing educational facilities
for the chill - of Council Bluffs.
The parents Of these pupils are not only
opposed to paying such tuition, but are
probably financially unable to do so. The
school board has been asked TO either fur
nish education for these pupils in the
higher grades or else pay for their tuition
in Omaha.
There are two teachers in the school at
Cutoff, which is known as the CORTLAND
school. Miss Cora Jones teaches the third
TO the sixth grades and Miss Emma Hoff-
man teaches the first to the third grades.
There are, it is said, upwards of sixty
children attending this school and both
teachers have as many pupils as they can
properly instruct. The question now be-
fore the board is whether 1t would be the
most advisable from a money standpoint
to establish the higher grades in this
school. which would mean another teacher,
or whether to pay the tuition OF these
pupils in the Omaha school. The board is
not sure that II would have the right to
use the money Of the school district TO
pay the tuition Of these pupils in the
Omaha school. The solution OF the prob
lem has been referred to the COMMITTEES
on teacher and superintendent Beveridge
to wrestle with. Thu board will meet in
adjourned session Thursday evening OF
next week. at which time a report from
the committee is expected.
The crowded condition of the high school
Is another matter which is giving the
board something to think about. 1t has
been suggested that office quarters for the
superintendent of schools be secured else.
where and the rooms occupied by him in
the high school building be utilized fol-
class purposes. The board of trustees Of
the public library building is TO be asked
to allow the superintendent of schools tC
