KAPAA'S LATEST LAND SALE.

According to the Garden Island,
the land sale of the Kappa lots was
thoroughly advertised.
Everybody hopes so.
Some time ago the public was re-
called with dissertation said to
come from the Land Commissioner
that Hawaii's available public lands
were not only to be advertised
throughout this Territory, but on
the mainland as well, so that all
people might know of the offerings
Tor homesteads In these islands.
Very soon after the Kappa land
sale took place.
This was particularly a sale in
which the small homesteader should
be interested. This splendid oppor-
thnity was published to the world
through the medium of Kauai Coun-
TVS weekly paper. and possibly
posters.
III That Is to be the advertising
campaign of the public lands depart-
ment, II that is TO be the method by
which the world is to know that a
VeritaDle garden on Kauai is await
ing someone's developing hand, the
time Will be far distant when the
garden will bloom with anything
but lantana.
judged from appearances, the
method followed In handling the
Kappa land business is the shortest
route for discrediting homesteading
and fostering recurrence to the old
IDEA that nothing but big capital

MUCH PROMISE
IN EUCALYPTUS
Can Grow The Tree
With Profit In
Hawaii

Forestry experts In these Islands
have admitted that the growing OF
eucalyptus trees here for purely To-
cal consumption, such as: iirewood,
posts and poles, will pay those hav-
ing suitable lands. Where there
exists large tracts of level land and
where the soil Is deep and where
there Is continuous natural sub
irrigation, eucalyptus trees should
do well in these islands.
Contrary to the popular SUPPOSE
ton, these trees require enormous
quantities of water, II what Califor-
mans term a maximum growth" is
to be secured. Years ago, eucalyptus
trees were planted on the Pail and
other parts of the island, but their
growth has been slow.
Some remarkable tests have been
made with eucalyptus which have
proven some of the species to be the
strongest woods in the world. The
strength of the weakest of the West
Australian eucalyptus has been
proven by the government tests to be
equal to that of hickory and 20 per
cent greater than that of the best
oak Piles driven in seaside wharves
have, after seventy years service,
been withdrawn and found to be
perfectly sound. Telegraph and tele-
phone poles tested after twenty
years service gave results only 6
per cent below the average OF un-
used seasoned timbers.
Experiment has proven that Il IL

lands which abound in humus, OF
where rank herbaceous weeds pre-
dominate. All these features are
found right here in Oahu and neigh.

calls at request. Kahalepalaua and
Manele are the ports of call. The
former is only nine miles from La
haina on Maui.
Since the completion of the sale
of Lanai to Messrs. j. T. McCrosson,
+. L. Thompson, c. Brown, +. Gay
and Aubrey Robinson, DR.. Wilcox
has received several letters from
seed dealers on the mainland Offer
ing special rates on Sea Island seed.
But as the local Sea Island seed is OF
a superior quality and is more
adaptable to climatic conditions, IL
Is not likely that seed will be
brought from the mainland.
The Hon. Shito and r. Minami,
who were among the visiting men,
bers lof the japanese Commercial
Commission, which left on the Chiyo
Maru, visited the Federal Expert
ment station and seemed anxious to
purchase all the cotton that could
be grown here. The Kanegafuchi
Spinning Co., Ltd, of Japan are
also interested in our island cotton
and wish to make contracts for large
quantities. All of these people have
written to Supt. Wilcox concerning
this matter.
The present prospects seem SC
hopeful for the future industry, par
ticularly since there is now posi-
Gility of the formation of an asso
citation of cotton growers, that the
product seems well on the way to be
banded scientifically and in mod.
ern way for the worlds markets.

through the center of the island.
All structures will have to be
built from timber brought from the
neighboring Islands, as the local
supply is inadequate for that pur-
pose. Owing TO the fact that the
tract chosen for cotton growing is
free from all Irregularities, DR..
Wilcox considers this TO be the finest
tract of land for dry-farming that
he has seen In the Territory OF Ha-

The MESSAGE.

President Taft appears to have
made no sensational declarations in
his first message to Congress deal
ing with the general administration
of the government.
He has been standing pat on the
tariff ever since 1t was patched up
by the special session of Congress.
The people will agree with him
that further revision is not advis-
able Immediately following the
worry OF attempting to revise II
downward. But 1t Is not probable
they will agree with him that the
present tariff situation is wholly set
isfactory.
His attitude on the postal savings
bank has been made known through
his public addresses, and vigorous
prosecution of those engaged in the
white slave" trade Is to be ex-
pected.
President Taft apparently is to
make his record for the immediate
present on the Nicaraguan question,
and his policy gives promise of be-
ing firm to the point of aggressive
ness. At least one Central Amerl-
can country will be taught that 1t
cannot kill off citizens of the United
States without giving them a fair
hearing unless 1t pays dearly for the
violation of all the laws of decent
civilization.
Federation OF the nayal policy
making Pearl Harbor the naval base
OF the Pacific should bring home to
me people OF Hawaii what an i'm
portant move this is in the national
program.
lt Is not merely an official declara-
tion TO be regarded as pleasing to
honolulu and then lost in the pig-
con holes OF the White House or
some department. 1t is national
and international In its scope and
bearing on these Islands, this island,
our harbor, and the future of the
Pacific.

Shipments of fertilizer are being
moved out of the vessel as eXpedi-
tiously as the circumstances will
permit. The weather at the present
time is considered favorable for
Working and manipulating the small
Loats into which the sacks of fer
tilizer are lowered from the strand
ed ship and conveyed to the steam
ers.
II would appear that the Celtic
Chief continues to encroach further
upon the reef as the cargo Is re-
moved. There are many conflict
ing opinions as to the length of time
that the vessel can stand the con-
slant humping upon the hard coral
rock. Those who profess to know
declare that the vessel is now maxi
ing water and that her pumps are
kept constantly going to keep the
ship from settling any deeper than
she is at the present time.
This Is strenuously denied by 9TH
err interested parties.
II is estimated that 1t Will require
some time to remove large per-
centage of the twenty-five hundred
tons Of fertilizer that was brought
TO this port from Hamburg. The
work of tightening the ship is nee
essarily very slow and tedius owing
to the many difficulties encountered
in transhipment.
The report that arrangements had
been effected with the American
Hawaiian agency for the services of
the big Alaskan and Arizonan now
at the port was absolutely denied by
the local agent, Percy Morse, this
morning.

close was up about y C. High point on May
cry from the low point near the close on
bear raid yesterday. We advised at the
time that it looked like an oversold market
and that purchases for a rebound were in
order. The market began With better
strength this morning.
There was general replacing of long wheat
sold out on the decline. There was active
buying by the short sellers of yesterday and
most of them were taking losses instead of
profits There was no radical change in the
news In fact the cables were a little lower
from that of the foreign markets today,
where they were firm and higher yesterday
when the bears broke prices here. Kansas
City sold No 2 red wheat at top for the
season at Sill. The two southwest mar
kets showed shipments of wheat for the day
much over receipts. Receipts northwest
dropped to 155 cars. Leaders in that quar-
ter say that recent run has been December
sales of wheat to arrive this month and
that the movement is now likely to fall
much lower than before. Stocks at Mime
apolis have declined 125, 900 for four days.
Cash premiums up there today were %c to
&c over May Export clearance wheat and
flour were nearly 200, 900 bushels in excess
of total western wheat receipts. Shipping
sales to outside milling points since yester
day may have been about 125,000 bushels.
Much of it No. red wheat Winnipeg and
seaboard worked a little wheat for export
today. Think the action of the market
demonstrates that buyers should take hold
whenever local bears force break of
cent or more.
The secret is out in the cash corn trade
On the weak market last week certain cash
houses made low offers of corn to the east
They expected to buy the property in this
market on further decline Monday morn
ing They got eastern aeceptances, but
have been bidding up for the corn ever
since. Cash prices were up another half
cent today. There was a renewal Of heavy
buying on the part of recent principal short
sellers in this market. Omaha reported ex-
port sales of corn by way OF the gulf. St
Louis houses claimed good southern demand

UNSETTLED CONDITION

FIRM TONE PREVAILS AT UN-
CHANGED PRICES
Northern Potatoes VIII Probably Adj
vance - Citrus Fruit Is Slow.
Heavy Demand for Apples.
Fish Scarce

The market was in an unsettled condition
yesterday as a result of rains. Trains were
more regular but reports from growers are
that produce is still hampered.
Prices were about the same. A firm tone
prevailed in almost every line. Cabbage, po-
tatoes and bunch stuff were exceptionally firm,
but prices remained unchanged. 1t is said that
northern potatoes will probably advance in a
few days.
Vegetables were scarce in the face Of a keen
demand Lettuce and caulihower receipts fell
off to nearly half the usual supply
Butter, eggs, cheese and potato receipts were
larger than on the preceding day, a condition
due probably to the arrival of delayed trains.
Fish continued to be scarce. Fishermen re-
port great difficulty in casting nets. The
catches have been small since the rainy
season set in.
Citrus fruit was slow. but deciduous fruit
moved well. Apples were the best sellers and
sales doubled the preceding day. There were
few strawberries hand, selling at 10 to
12c a pint box.

go on soft spots of the day. Offerings were
well taken by those who sold out higher up.

NEW YORK, jan 27.-Cotton opened little
changed from yesterdays close. There was
some buying by eleventh hour bulls around the
opening but this met by good selling by
both Liverpool and southern interests, which
gradually put the market down to lower levels.
Spot sales at Liverpool were very fair but
showed anxiety of demand. Expectations
of an increase in receipts was expected in
some quarters. Indications are that spinners
are not buying to any appreciable extent and
the situation appears clearer.
There seems also to be no trade revival Of
consequence in mercantile lines, if anything
more of disposition to hold back pending
future developments By afternoon the prices
showed declines of a little more than ten points
from the opening, with the tone of the market
still heavy.
