MORE LANDS TO BE
HOMESTEADED SOON
Kulaimanu District Withdrawn
For That Purp0se-0Iehena
Lease Did Not Sell.

Marston Campbell, commissioner of
public lands, announced yesterday that
he had withdrawn large tract of land
at Kulaimanu, Hilo district, Hawaii, to
be opened to homesteading, the official
announcement closely following that of
the opening of land for the same pur-
pose at Kaohe.
At present the Kulaimanu lands are
under lease to one of the large pIanta-
tons on the Big Island and are planted
with cane. 1t will not be until the
cane crop is removed next year that
the tract win be opened for home
stealing.
The sale of the Olehena lease did
not make very loud noise yesterday at
noon, the time set for its disposal.
Prospective bidders did not appear and
the four hundred odd acres still belong
to the Territory. The water supply
for the land in question is controlled
by McBryde and Fairchild interests
and this might have spoiled the sale.
Marston Campbell stated yesterday that
the land will now probably become a
part of the Kappa lease.

WISHES To SELL
HERSELF LAND
Trustee of an InsoIvent Estate
Asks Court Order for
Unique Purpose.

In order to satisfy creditors, one of
the trustees for the insolvent estate
of Pedro Augusta Dias, deceased, has
fled a petition in the circuit court for
an order to sell the estate to herself.
The trustee in question is Julia Augusta
Dias and the petition has been fled
by her jointly with John P. Dias, the
presence of John Dias as trustee max
ing the action necessary. Julia Dias,
in partnership with Jose j. Dias are
in business together and the partner
ship will buy the estate, thus bringing
about the unique situation that requires
trustee petitioning for an order Of
court to sell land to herself.
The liabilities of the estate are
$736792 and the assets are $7032.67.
At the time of his death, Pedro Dias
was running saloon at Waipahu under
a second-class liquor license which ex-
piTed short time ago. The liquor
board gave the estate an extension of
three months in which to continue the
business and wind up the accounts, and
the trustees found the time insufficient
to do this. Owing to the nature of the
business the schedules fled name over
$500 on the asset side as bad debts
and state that there is a possibility
of many more being in this category.
The assets, aside from the personal
property, which amounts to a small per-
eentage, are number of small ac-
counts with what appears to be the
entire present and past population of
Waipahu.
At this stage of affairs, Julia Augusta
Dias, who, in partnership with Jose
Dias, is running another saloon at the
same place under the name of the
Waipahu Exchange comes forward
and offers to purchase the estate from
Julia Augusta Dias, the trustee. The
action is to be taken to allow more
time to. settle up the outstanding ae-
counts and has been so taken with
the consent of the debtors and credi
tors of the estate. Even as it is the
purchasers will lose considerably, and
the creditors will be satisfied with the
personal guaranty of the purchasing
partnership. Az the present time, H.
Hackfeld & Co. are holding 81 shares as
part security.

NEW FORMS ARE TO
BE USED I'M SCHOOLS
Superintendent Rabbit Has New
Schemes for Tabbing His
Domain.

As part of his scheme of record
ing the statistics of the schools Super
intendent Babbitt of the board of pub
lie instruction has introduced two new
forms. The first and more important
of these, in space of few square
inches, will contain the entire record
of a pupil s school career with blanks
on the reverse side where the parent
may check it up. The department of
the pupil and the number of times alb
sent as we'll as his or her standing in
the regular branches of study will be
recorded for the three terms of the
eight years of schooling.
The second form is to condense the
report of each school district at the
end of each term and at the same
time to give a more complete summary
of the work, enrolment and attend
ance of the school. Pupils by nation
may check it up. The department of
their standing in special studies and
complete attendance record are the
features. Both forms are innovations.

we're READY FOR new LAW
CUSTOMS OFFICIALS NEED BUT
LITTLE INSTRUCTION.
Assistant Secretary Reynolds Graft
fed and Surprised With Results
Under Tariff Legislation.

Il have been greatly surprised at the
ease with which the new tariff law has
gone into operation" said Assistant Sec
retary Reynolds tariff expert of the
Treasury today. I'VE expected to be
overrun with uuestions,s, many Of them
silly but the number of Inquiries coming
to us each day is little more than we had
under the Dingley bill. OF course, there
are matters constantly arising, even
under an old law, that require answer.
but the comparatively small number so
far received shows that collectors of Gus
toms had carefully prepared for the new
law.
II attribute the smoothness of the op-
Grafton Of the Payne law to the fact that
it was enacted and framed by repub-
lican Congress- following closely in form
and phraseology to the former law. This
10 important to collectors. who found
little difficulty in mastering the various
schedules in advance. Practically the
only change has been in rates Had a
democratic Congress revised the tariff
and upset the whole thing, even the
phraseology there would have been end
less trouble for a long time. The word
ing OF the present law is peculiarly
clear"
The Treasury Department is now send
ing to collectors Of customs indexed
nished shortly after the law went into
effect were not indexed. difficulty being
found in getting certain paragraph.
With the index Treasury official can
easily turn to the particular schedule he
wants.

OVATION FOR PINCHoT.
Creates Enthusiasm by Reiteration
of His Position.

DENVER. Col. August 1s.-Gifford
Pinchot, with plea for the conserva-
ton of natural resources, based on the
Roosevelt policies. provoked enthusia snl
among the delegates to the Transmits
sissipi Commercial Congress here today
when he reiterated his stand, taken al
Spokane, for the protection of the ma
tonal forests.
Mr.. Pinchot was given a hearty recep-
ton. All morning he had been sur
rounded by groups in the lobbies. and
when he arose a deafening roar greeted
him.
That the national duty lies in the
direction of conservation there is no
doubt said Mr.. Pinchot. Il can con-
ceiye of no higher plane of duty than that
we conserve our waste resources along
the lines of the Roosevelt policies, and to
these policies / am committed"
This brought forth round af applause
and the allusion to Roosevelt gained an
other round.
1T is folly for us to say there is land
in plenty and forests In plenty, when
we know our forests are being depleted
far more swiftly than it is possible for US
to reforest We have forests In plenty fol-
the present generation and perhaps for
the next, but in the years to come there
will be famine a-plenty if we don't al
this time take the stitch In time
