THE APPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC LAND.

his office at 8 a. M, then if the appli-
cation is allowed to come by mail at
all and there is also an applicant for
the same tract at the door of the Land
Office when it is opened for business
the two applications are considered to
be simultaneous and are disposed of
under the rule in such cases. Any one
can readily see that if such just rule
was in force here the order of applica-
ton in the above case would be re-
versed as in justice it should be. There
is no evidence that the Postmaster at
Honolulu made any mistake or put the
Land Office mail in the wrong box. On
the mainland a homestead application
is not allowed to be received at all by
mail unless the homesteader swears in
his affidavit before clerk of court
that he has made settlement upon and
is residing upon the tract he applies
for and that the tract is in a county
other than that in which the land Office
is situated otherwise all homestead
applicants are required to appear in
person at the Land Office and then
and there make application and aft
davit and a messenger will not be al
lowed to do business under any circum-
stances whatever.
The "other and stronger reason" is
neither here nor there, as the land
laws of Hawaii gives no preference
right to the person born upon or re-
siding upon the land and the Commits
sioner is not invested with the right to
determine whether an applicant is a
! farmer or not. To say that any OF
! the applicants were born upon and
brought up on the land which had pre-
viously been under lease to the planta-
ton is rot. Downright rot
| am not in any manner interested
in this land, nor in the applicants but
it is likely that the public will heal
more about it later. Every now and
then we hear of some 'flim-flam' given
out from the Land Office as being like
the practice before the land offices OF
the mainland, and in every case it's al
rot" Here, whether there is law fol
it or not the Commissioner usurps The
right to do as he pleases. There Il
no way to stop him-so what are yo'
going to do about It? Just take it il
the neck That's all.

ceived the duly executed right of pur-
chase leases of eleven homestead lots
at Kaapoku, Hawaii. They are part OF
/ the Pepeekeo plantation lands on which
! the lease expired some time ago. Eacn
settler takes about ten acres.
There were two settlement associa-
lions whose members were after these
lands. 1t was decided by the Land
( Commissioner that those whose appli-
! cations were first received should have
them, for different reasons. First, the
| fortunate ones filed their applications
! in the land Office, while those of the
! rival association were mailed in reg
! istered package. The notice of the ar
rival of the package at the Honolulu
postoffice was delayed a day, it is sup
posed from having got into the wrong
box. But, anyway, according to the
/ United States land Office regulations,
personal applications have precedence
over written ones.
Another and stronger reason is
that those who have got the land are
practical farmers while their late rivals
are engaged in various occupations.
"Some of the homesteaders were
born and brought up on the lands
they now enter upon for their homes.
Both associations were composed OF
Portuguese"
OF course there is nothing to show
that Land Commissioner Pratt said so
but it is fair to presume that he said
something to that effect The infor-
nation is misleading and it does mol
jibe with the facts. / know much about
this case personally and have seen
some of the evidence. From the
above it would appear that the success
full applicants, or at least one of theil
number, appeared personally at the
Land Office and filed the application
Such is not the case. The application
was sent by a messenger who was no
one of the applicants, so the facts arr
that none of the applicants belonging
= to either association appeared per
sonally at the Land Office. A certified
record from the Hilo Post office show
that the registered letter containing
the application of the unsuccessful as
sociation was received at the Honolulu
Post Office more than twenty-fou
hours before the arrival of the mes
senger of the other association at tn
Land Office and no other conclusion
can follow except that the Land Offic
> did not call for mail at the Post O1ic
at Honolulu on the day that the un
successful associations application
was lying there. Now there seems t
be no rules or regulations whateve
r in this Honolulu Land office and tn
= Commissioner may allow his mail I
lie in the Post Office a week II h
feel like doing so. Such is not tn
case in a United States Land Office
other Territories. The rules of tn
Interior Department requires the re
gister of the Land Office in each Ian
district to get his mail every day, an
get 1t every morning before he opeI
