are intended to amplify and enlarge
on the sections drafted by the Govern
or. One amendment particularizes the
obligations to be assumed by a home
steader in securing public lands and
defines definitely the length of resi-
dence on the land, the duties of culti-
walton obligatory, the cash payments
and the time limits for the same and
other points of specific nature. The
amendment suggested in the report and
resolution has, to quote the report,
s'the approval of the Governor and is
practically in terms similar to the
amendment sent by him to the Dele
gate in Washington. If the amend
ment can be inserted without preju-
dicing the passage of the bill owing
to the status to which it may have ad.
vanced in Congress, it would be de-
sirable to have it inserted, otherwise
the bill should remain in its present
FORM This suggested amendment is:
"Said lots shall be appraised at their
market value, and shall be offered Cor
sale, if the land has not been pre-
viously under cultivation, at not more
than twenty-five per cent. OF such
value or, if the land has been pre-
viously under cultivation, at not less
than fifty per cent. of such value,
which shall be payable without inter
est in instalments extending over pc
Rod not exceeding ten years, with the
privilege ON the part of the purchaser
of paving on any instalment date any
or ALI instruments then remaining un-
paid; the purchaser shall be required
within a period of not more than ten
wears after the date of sale to maintain
his home and reside on the land not
| less than five years, beginning, il the
| land is not already under cultivation,
! not more than three years, and II the
| land is already under cultivation, not
more than one year after the date OF

six months of continuous residence

part of said five years; he shall also

than ten years; and such agreement
may contain such other terms as may
be deemed appropriate for the promo
ton of bona fde homesteading on the
lands in question:

After the presentation of the report
and resolution, Chairman Morgan drily
remarked that he hoped to see the full

AGITATQR ORGAN NOW
TALKING Of STRIKES

"Strike, Strikel Strikel'' is the way
the Nippu Jill yesterday concludes one
of the many violent articles published
in it's pages on the present labor agita-
ton question, which it is trying to fos-
ter and concerning which, as an indiea-
tion of desperation, it is getting daily
more vehement. A portion of its argu-
ment yesterday was of an obscene ma
ture, going to a length unparalleled in
the history of any press in these Is
lands. In an urgent plea for members
for the Higher Wage Association and
their fees. it says:
In spite of opposition, the High
Wage Association is forging ahead
among the plantation laborers. Many
are joining it; there are several plan
tations. in fact, where every laborer is
a member. We rejoice in seeing that
this is becoming the general feeling
among the Japanese. But we need more
laborers. Compared with the total num-
Der now on the plantations. our men,
bership has not as vet reached salts.

therefore, to work with vigor AMI de-
termination to bring in recruits
The Nippu drags the question of
patriotism to Japan into the agitation
again, quoting the following lines of
poetry: Il
Knowing full well what will result,
Yet spurred by the Spirit of japan
press steadily forward
Concluding another article, the. Nip
pu gives this warning:
- If strike be started on one planta-
ton now, it will spread like wildire. -

The most important matter taken up
at the meeting besides the election of
officers, was the adoption of report
concerning the National Guard of Ha-

of the association recommending to the
Legislature the establishment of the
militia on a stronger and more perma-

That the n. G. H. had the skeleton
formation necessary; that the regula-

the regiment to be recruited up to full
twelve-eompany strength; that it is
proposed to give the militia training in
coast artillery work to increase their
efficiency; that $4,000 has come to
Hawaii and been paid out to residents
as a result of the establishment of the

idea. 1t Is all right to play peanut
politics and keep few score laborers
out of their pay, but supervisorial dig

drawn early.
Hence the fact that the payroll was
not presented on Wednesday and a

Are Amplified.

The proposed amendments to the Or

by Governor Frear and gone over by
him before the House committee, were
ervation at fairly we'll attended meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce yes
terday, the endorsement to be sent to
the Delegate as requested by him. This
unanimous vote not only endorses the
Governor in his actions but in a back
handed way puts the Chamber on rec
ord as opposed to the later bill in
troduced by the Delegate, putting the
administration of local lands in the
stronger in the way of an endorsement
of the work of the Governor could have
been passed than the resolution adopted
without a contrary vote, while the
amendments intended to amplify the
bill as drafted by the Governor were
not passed until assurances were given
that the Governor not only knew about
them but endorsed and helped to draw
them up for the report.
J. P Cooke, chairman of the COM
mittee on legislation and public i'm
provements, presented the report, ex.
planning at the same time that it had
been drafted by A. Lewis Jr., the
chairman of the Lands Advisory Com
mittee, from the recommendation OF
which the land clauses in the Govern
or's bill had been drafted. The report
reviewed the bill section by section
concluding with this clause:
"The committee believes that it is
for the manifest benefit of the Terri
tory that this bill be passed by the
Congress of the United States, and
therefore recommend the enclosed reso
lution.'

MILLIONS READ
HAWAII BOOSTS
Promotion Committee Press
Bureau Matter Reaches
Many States.

AS an indication of the publicity be-
ing given to things Hawaiian on the
mainland through the efforts of the
press bureau department of the Promo.
ton Committee, the clipping from
mainland papers of one week which
have reached the committee were piled
upon the table at yesterday IS meeting.
9sssGsaaa shovel that forty-two papers,
great and small, were regularly using
Hawaiian news supplied them by the
committee, and that in the one week
taken as sample, 954 column inches
were printed, covering twenty-three
States and going into the hands of over
million readers.
This showing was very favorably
commented upon by the Promotion
Committee members, who stated their
appreciation of the efforts being made
by Will J. Cooper in his particular de-
partment.
Los Angeles Party Coming.
Secretary Wood reported that
party of twenty-five tourists, worked
up by the Los Angeles representative,

letters of an encouraging nature, one
from representative of the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company,
thanking him for a suggestion that the
company undertake an excursion tour
of the Pacific, starting at San Fran
cisco, and stating that the matter had
been submitted with a recommendation
to the head office in Germany.
Hilo Sharing in the Work.
Reference being made to the COM
ment of the Hilo Tribune that Hilo
need expect little from the committee,
President Bowen made statement to
| the effect that the committee was en-
deavoring to do everything in its power
| to send tourists to Hilo as much as to
every other part of the Territory.
HfThis committee draws no lines and
is working impartialiy for all parts of
| the Islands. I am sure that it is a
mistaken impression. If IT exists, that
this committee or Honolulu generally
has anything but the best OF wishes
for Hilo,'' he said.
Secretary Wood reported that he had
written to Hilo to enquire the number
of vacant houses there might be there
to rent to tourists. He was Informed
/ that there was only one vacant cottage
in the town. ''That week we sent

these events. The matter viii probably
be taken up by the japanese Merchants
Association.

NEW POWER ENTERPRISE.

The electric power line 10 Manhat-
tan and Round Mountain, for which
preliminary survey was made some
time ago from Millers, is now assured
and the work of the construction will
be started at once. The extending
of this line TO the northern camps is
due to the efforts of Frank Peterson,
the prominent mining man of Man
haitian, and who has interested the
LOTUS and Davis company at Round
Mountain, in the project The power
company required that a certain
amount be advanced to cover in part
the cost of construction, and 1t was
for the purpose of signing these pa
pers that Mr.. Peterson came out from
New York last week The minimum
amount of expense,for the construe-
ton of the line is to be $4,000.
and of this amount Mr.. Peterson and
Lotus and Davis have advanced s25,-
600. which will be returned to them
in monthly installments. Under the
terms of the contract the work on
the line shall be started at once and
il Is understood that material has
been ordered from the coast which
will be taken TO Millers, where the
start will be made. The power will
be In Manhattan and Round Noun

I.ake-Surveyor Put i'm Field.

Conductor Fink of the Nevada
Northern, who recently returned
from a visit 10 Salt Lake. states that
there is a great deal of talk In both
Salt Lake and Ogden concerning the
proposed construction of an ore line
from Garfield to Ely by way of Cher
ry Creek.
Mr.. Fink states that shortly be-
fore he left Salt Lake a party of sur
peyors were started out toward the
Deep Creek country. which the pro-
posed ore line is to follow. The par
~ had two large wagons and was
equipped for long stay in the field.
Among railroad men at Salt Lake 1t
is believed that the line will be speed
lily built. The plans call for light
construction, strictly for ore haul
age, and completion could be made
within the year if work should start
i'm the spring.

Decidedly the market Is recover
ing. and IL looks much as II the TAFT
Inauguration discounting might be in
progress. The stocks responded dis
tinctly yesterday TO the improved
conditions that have come about
since Thursday. The metals were also
quoted higher and were in better
form.
Among the Elys. Giroux was the
strongest performer yesterday. IL
made good advance under strong de-
mand and 1t Is evident that the mar
ket appraises at full value the an
nonncement given out from this city
of the intention of the, new manage
ment to do big things and of its be-
lief that II has great property.
Cumberland Ely was also on the
upturn and gave a good account of
itself. Nevada Con. is little slower
on the rally but is coming. The ad-
vance of Cumberland Ely should be
sustained The company is earning
at the rate of better than 81 100000
per year on the basis of production
which will be made this month on a
1315 cent market. and will improve
on the next month. Extraction Of
76 per cent is being made. Beside
all of which the company is In en-
viable financial position and in fine
shape at its mine, with a big new ore
deposit in process of development
which It will be possible to mine with
steam shovel at minimum cost. Cum
berland Ely ought to advance stead
lily and strong whenever the market
sets earnestly in that direction.
Locally there is much Mason VAL
ley held and the news from that prop
erty during the last week has GER
tainly been of character to make its
stockholders feel good. The mine
has not only established that 1t goes
tn depth but also that it has the rich
ore. The best evidence of the sat
isfaetion of the management with the
shape that the property Is In and its
evident conviction that IL has a great
piece of copper ground is contained
In the announcement of George Gum
that there will he railroad into Ma
son City this summer: that IL the
s. p. does not build IL the Mason Val
ley Co. stands ready to do so and
will not waste time about IL. In the
added declaration that the mine has
developed To point where railroad
service Is essential the Inference Is
readily apparent that II has also adj
vanced TO where 1t needs smelter ia
cilities without delay. These cannot
