TERRITORY LOSES
STAMP DUTY CASE

Instead of getting 5000 from the
Oahu Railway & Land Company as
stamp duties, as assessed by Treasurer
Conkling, the Territory, according to
decision of the Supreme Court handed
down yesterday, gets only one dollar.
The case may be carried to the Su-
preme Court of the United States by
the Attorney Generals department.
The case arose out of the appellant s
redemption of its old 100000 bond
ISSUE and the issuance of new bonds,
bearing interest at ) per cent, for re-
funding the former. The Territorial
Treasurer held that the instrument
through which the interest on the
bonds das reduced was in reality a
mortgage and therefore subject to
payment of stamp duty. The Oahu
Railway & Land Company, on the other
hand, held that the instrument was on
~ an agreement and subject therefore
only to the payment of filing fee of
one dollar. This latter view. is upheld
by the Supreme Court.

REEOER IS MAKING
INQUIRIES ABOUT WATER

Water should go with the land, for
that is the fundamental principle of
homemaking,' observed Representative
Reeder of Kansas yesterday. The Con-
gresham was discussing the question
OF water and the rights of settlers to
water supplies with which their lands
may be connected.
While Mr.. Reeder was at Leilehua
the other day he became interested in
the Wahlawa dam proposition, and he
at once began to ask questions as to
what agreement the corporations and
the settlers had as to the apportion-
ment OF the water supply. Mr. Reeder
IS member of the Irrigation Commit
tee, and he believes that the irrigation
laws of the States should be extended
TO Hawaii. He will make inquiries
concerning the water supplies on all the
islands and store up a large amount of
information about the manner in which
water is distributed to lands which NAV
be taken up by settlers.

LINE READY IN
FOUR MONTHS
Cars Will Be Running to Pearl
Harbor Very Soon, Says
Ballentyne.

Within four months time the Rapid
Transit company viii be operating
trolley cars over the Pearl Harbor ex-
tension. This is the promise made by
Manager Ballentyne of the company,
who returned from the mainland yes
terday on the Alameda. While on the
mainland, Ballentyne purchased the
rails and overhead equipment needed
for the construction of the extension,
and expects to have them here by the
time the grading of the roadway has
been completed.
Work on the roadway viii commence
at once, and a large crew of men will
be put to work. The first consignment
of materials viii probably reach here
some time next week, and Ballentyne
believes that the remainder will be on
hand in plenty of time to allow of the
completion of the work without delay.
No new cars have been purchased,
it being the intention of the company
to make use of the rolling stock which
it now has no hand, for the time being
at least. New motors have been bought,
however, and also new transformers for
the Pearl Harbor extension. The motors
are of high power and viii be used on
the Punahou line, where the heavy
grades make serious demands on the
climbing power of the ears.
