TRANSFERABLE

EDITOR STAR: How can the Mali
hinis Christmas Tree" be perpetuated
in Honolulu excepting by malihinis?
That's the question. Mr.. Jackson and
his benevolent associates initiated the
beautiful function on the principle no
doubt or the scriptural maxim para
phrased, 1T is more pleasant to give
than to receive" In other words they
did it because it gave them greatp leas-
ure to obey the promptings of their
good hearts. Other strangers here in
future Christmas seasons there will be
with big hearts-not unlikely Mr.. Jack
son and his friends may be of the
number-and the strangers outdoor
Christmas tree should have reserved
for it the choice of locations and all
the prestige belonging to the happy
native title given to the first one. Let
the Elks or any otner organization
have their Christmas trees, or any 9TH
er method of dispensing benevo, nee,
but let anything of the kind not be
regarded as in succession to the ORR
ginal malihinis' vent but only as fol-
lowing that example. 1t would in fact
anyway be rather a falling into line
with other institutions of Honolulu
which from time immemOrial have been
holding Christmas festivals for poor
children as well as those better cir
cumstanced. The number of children
made happy by the good people of our
own town every Christmastide has
grown from the hundreds into the
thousands. Where the malihinis'
Christmas is original, besides in its
titular capacity, is in being held out
doors and in its intention of reaching
poor children not taken care of by
institutions. or course it would be
absurd to think of making "A thing of
the kind or any other outdoor function
exclusive to the class originating it.
There is no copyright on our public
parks nor monopoly of our private
lawns Yet a Christmas tree has been
erected in Honolulu by strangers, and
no substitute or succession Of it is
possible in other than the hands or
strangers. There may be a thou
sand local copies of it, but that is not
the question. The 'Malihinis Christ
mas Tree is on-transferable.

BOARD

No more Portuguese who left these
islands will be brought home. when
they have come to regret paradise
lost, at the expense of the govern
ment. In the last Alameda seventeen
of such returned, the expense of whose
passage the Board of immigration as
sumed at a meeting yesterday. There
were sixteen men and one woman,
whom Mr.. Silva, as agent of the
Board had induced to return. AS the
policy of the Board is to introduce
families, it was decided to stop the
campaign Tor self-exiled Portuguese
from Hawaii in California.
Mr. Trenor, the Boards agent in
New York, wrote that he was exer-
cising great care in the selection of
the first fifty families of Southern tia
lians to be sent here. His next effort
will be to send Portuguese from the
Eastern States and then more Italians.
Messrs. Mott-Smith, Ivers, Garden
and Craig made up the meeting, Mr.,
Atkinson being absent.

RUM IN TOBACCO

Did you know that if you took a
chew of tobacco you were probably
consuming intoxicants. Probably il
you chew you don't care very much
whether you get your booze that way
or not. But if you simply smoke,
has it come to your notice that you
are taking within your system guam
titles of the highest proof rum? This
may not be something known to you
before, but read the following short
extract from the report of the United
States Commission of Internal Rev
enue for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1908:
"The provision of the amendatory
act allowing the withdrawal of rum OF
strength of not less than $50 degrees
proof resulted in the use of 241, 238. AZ
gallons after September /, all of which
was used in the manufacture of smok-
ing and chewing tobacco"
This enormous quantity of rum
went into the tobacco used in the
United States in only nine months
One can imagine how much must be
the total amount used when imported
tobacco is counted in.

RICE LAND LEASES

The only papers of any Importance
which were recorded yesterday with
the Registrar of COnveyances were in
connection with rice deals in Eva dis
trict. The firm known as See Sung
Wal has obtained the lease for ap-
proximately ten years in one case and
for a little over seven years in the
other of large tract of rice land. The

acres, for which an annual rental OF
$3.50 is to be paid. The larger lot is
leased from the Tuck Wo Wal Com
pany and consists of four leases which
have from nine to ten years apiece to
run. The annual rental for this pro-
perty is set at $4,000.

PINEAPPLE LEASE

A lease of 200 acres of pineapple
land at Wahiawa from the Waialua
Agricultural Company to the Wahiawa
Consolidated Pineapple Company, was
filyed on Thursday with the Registrar
of Conveyances. The annual rental is
set at $40 an acre, total of $4,000 an
nually. The lease contains the con-
dition that the lessee shall not violate
the conditions of the lease by which
the Waialua plantation holds the land
from the Oahu railroad, that it shall
not be used for a stock or a dairy
business.

NEW YEARS
EVE DANCE

The greatest gathering by far, out
side of that on the streets was at the
Moana Hotel where Manager Hertsche,
assisted by Mrs. E. S. Church, kept
open house according to the usual
custom on New Years eve. Fully fif-
teen hundred of the guests and pat
rons Of the Moana called during the
evening and either took part in the
dancing or watched the brilliant
show of handsomely dressed women
and their escorts. During the even
ing automobile after automobile drew
up in front of the hotel, the occu-
pants masked for the occasion and an
nouncing their approach by the blowing
of horns and the jingling of sleigh
bells.
Dancing was of course the orGer
of the evening and kept up till long
after the last car, which left at one
O'Clock, had started for town. The
music which was furnished by Ernest
Kaais quintet was everything that
could be asked and the cool evening
was perfect for the gliding, glimmer-
ing, gyrating, glistening, gallivanting
groups of gorgeous gentlemen and la
dies A delightful, delicious, delicate
decoction of punch was served to the
guests.
