One of the most important land ex-
changes which has been accomplished
during the administration of Governor
Frear is practically concluded, and the
final papers are ready for the sigma
lures of the government officials and
the officers of the Maui Agricultural
Company.
The tract known as the Haiku lands
is involved in the exchange, and by
its successful conclusion the Territory
becomes possessed of approximately
eight hundred and seventy-three acres
of land adapted to the wants of the
small farmer, the soil of which is suit
ed to pineapple culture. In exchange
for this acreage the government turns

HAWAIIAN INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Woodruff, Warren, Taft,
Breckons, Junketers
and the Queen.
BY Ernest G.. Walker.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
WASHINGTON, April 30.-The nom
ination of George w. Woodruff for adj
ditional judge in Hawaii is now before
the Senate for confirmation. No oppo-
sition is expected. Mr. Woodruff re-
signed ON March 81 his position as AS
sistant Attorney General, on duty at
the Interior Department. He and Mrs.
Woodruff are now in this city and, in
the event that the nomination is con-
firmed, as is entirely probable, plan to
reach Honolulu ABOUT July /.
Mr.. Woodruff is no stranger to ques-
tions affecting the Territory of Ha-
wall. During the time that Mr.. Gar
field was Secretary of the Interior he
turned over to Mr.. Woodruff practically
all matters concerning Hawaii which
came up for consideration in the de-
partment. In this work he was in con-
tact with Hawaiian officials and became
well acquainted with many of them,
including Governor Frear. This fact
had much to do with the approval by
some influential Hawaiians of his nomi-
nation. 1t also had weight with the
President and the Attorney General
who felt that it afforded some warrant
for making an exception to the recog-
milton of only local men for Hawaiian
Offices.

EXPECT FAVOR IN
PINEAPPLE TARIFF

The Merchants Association cable
gram to Delegate Kuhio in regard to
the pineapple tariff. asked for to pro-
tect Hawaii's output was duly pre-
scented to Senator Aidrich, chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee. A
copy was handed to Senator Flint Of
California, who is giving some help In
the tariff fight. A brief, prepared by
Mr.. Mcclellan, has been sent to every
member of the committee, showing the
pineapple schedules.
1t is understood from advices just
received from Washington that in the
present involved and more or less bit
ter stage which the tariff fight has
reached. it is impossible to predict the
outcome. 1t is said that some Sena-
tors are favorable. and it is hoped at
least to have the canned schedule adj
vaneed above the present rate.

STILL GUESSING ON
CAMPBELL's SUCCESSOR

No Territorial Treasurer has been APP
pointed yet, and the candidates for the
s275 per month position and the Gus
tody of the government s strongbox,
are still wondering who the lucky man
is going to be. Governor Frear has
intimated that he is finding some diff
ieulty in securing an available nan
for the place.
Attorney General Hemenway con-
tinues to perform the duties and the
work of the Treasurer S Office seems
to progress satisfactorily, with Henry
Hapai being in active charge Of the
department.
When Treasurer A. J. Campbell failed
to receive confirmation at the hands of
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-05-12

the Senate it was thought by some
members of the upper house of the
Legislature that there would be no
difficulty in Governor Frear deciding
upon another appointee without delay.
Despite the opinion of the solons, how
ever, the Governor has apparently
found that it is not easy to find man
that is willing to take the position and
is also as fully qualified to perform the
tasks of the office as was the official
whom the Senate declined to indorse.
In the meantime the candidates are
in receptive mood.
