Appraisers Appointed.

With the object of ascertaining the
exact value of the lands involved three
appraisers will leave for Kauai Thurs
day. George Ewart, ". L. Hopper and
w. H. Thomas are the men who have
been named to judge the value of the
lands for the government and much will
depend upon their findings
The land is desired by the govern.
ment to extend and enlarge what is
known as the Kalaheo Settlement, about
nine miles from Lihue, the county seat
of Kauai. The acreage controlled by
the McBryde Sugar Plantation Com
pany is of the best quality for pine
apple raising and general agricultural
purp SEES. Some If the land is now in
cane that the government will secure
if the exchange is made while its value
for pineapple culture has been proven
conclusiyely by few settlers who
planted small fields with the permission
of the corporation.
Settlers Contented.
s'If this matter is brought to sue
cessful conclusion said Commissioner
Pratt, "some of the best homesteading
land in the Territory will be opened
for settlement Tt is of the very best
quality for general agricultural uses
and particularly so for pineapples.
There are about three hundred people
now living contentedIy in the section
known as the Kalaheo Settlement and
the opening of the land that we are
trying to secure would undoubtedly in
Al e
tire region. One of the great advan,
tages so far as pineapple farming is
concerned is the proximity of a can
merry at laval of sufficient size to
handle all the pines that can be turned
over to it by the independent growers.
This, of course, is a highly valuable
asset. 1t is rolling country, easy to
cultivate and is really ideal as far as
demonstrating is concerned. We are
naturally quite anxious to secure the
land and as the plantation is equally
desirious of obtaining the 1887 acres
of government holding there is every
hope that matters will be brought to
successful conclusion. The question
of water rights is hard one to ar
range and as the plantation controls
that part of it absolutely it will natural
" have to be taken into consideration
in the appraisal of the respective
values.
The plantation interests are declared
to be DESTROYS of seeing the district
settled by a permanent and responsible
class of citizen labor for they have
found already that the Kalaheo Settle
ment contributes no small quota to the
skilled labor on the plantation.

SLAP DASH BASKETBALL.
Fast and Furious Contest at New Lon
 don Wednesday Night.

Roosevelt in the jungles of Africa has not been up against a more risky prop osition than the DanielSon basketball team mixed irto at New London We'd nesday night, according to the stories the players told when they returned to Danieison Thursday morning. They were handed a trimming of 21 to 26, and a razoo that still has them con- graduating themselves that there are enough pieces left to reorganize the team. It may not be quite as bad as that, but nearly so. Incidentally, they say that the referee was naughty boy to call so many fouls on them, some thing like 35 during the game.
 Sid Marland, Bill Marland, Paine, Reach and Myers were the members of the quintette that went down to the whaling town. They are not infants by any means and are usually able to take care of themselves at anything from a pink tea to the next most risky engagement but that Wednesday night affair has all their previous experiences blurred in the distance.
 The game was worse than a Near aguan revolution from bell to bell It was combination of jiu-jitsu, war dance. football, ,fistball and several Ingredients of super-strenuous na- ture played within the confines of a basketball court. The battle was not all waged by one side. It was no AL phonse and Gaston affair. The local boys were not looking for a social ses- sion, nor did they bring their war clubs. During the course of the pro- ceedings Myers got a toss that sent him shooting through the air like Ha- ley's comet, and he will probably be out of the game for weeks with d bad ly wrenched leg. Six jerseys were rip ped off the backs of the Danielson five during the two halves and there were many other playful incidents too num- erous to mention. It is not to be un- derstood that the local boys were hitch ed to a post during these happenings. They took care of themselves as best they could and carefully clung to the remaiing parts of their playing rigs. Their defense was fairly good, it is said. Danielson had a good lead de- spite of all shortly after the opening of the second half but Referee Fenwick called fouls pn the locals in punches, and whatevef chance they had to win disappeared. It was a great game almost.

 Suggestions for Christmas Mail.
 Postmaster. Frank G. Letters offers some timely suggestions to persons who are to send Christmas parcels through the malls. Among the sug- gestions are that the parcels be weighed, as they cannot be forwarded unless the proper amount of postage has been affixed. Every parcel should be securely wrapped and plainly ad- dressed. It is also a very good pre- caution to have the name of the send CT plainly marked on the outside, for in case of failure of delivery at the point of destination the package will be returned and loss avoided. As is being urged all over the country packages should be sent as early as possible to avoid the rush of mall that will occur just before the holiday.

Object to Raise Fund for Soldiers
 Monument.

Putnam is to have another tag day tomorrow (Saturday). This time the tags are to be sold for the purpose of completing a fund for the erection of Soldiers monument at the junction of Grove and Ring streets The affair has been arranged and will be con ducted under the direction uf the Woman's Relief corps.

 Commission merchants who have been interviewed by the Herald do not agree with our correspondent as to the abundance of food: in fact they in- cline to the opinion that consumption Is running ahead of production, and simply because the country Is not pse- ducing ar nefoh as H might.
