TWO LETTERS
OF VANCOUVER

Two letters bearing the authenticated
signatures of Vancouver, the famous
British navigator and explorer, who
visited these islands in the latter part
of the eighteenth century, were pro-
duced before the Hawaiian Historical
Society at its annual meeting on Fri
day evening. The letters were two of
many given by the navigator to various
persons in the islands. Those shown
have been handed down through sue
cessive generations from Isaac Davis,
and are now owned by Miss Lucy Pea
body, his descendant. The letters com
mend various persons, including the
| King, Isaac Davis and John Young,
giving information that they were re-
sponsible persons, and whoever should
visit these islands could depend upon
them for friendly reception. L. Hen
riques, relative of Miss Peabody,
turned the letters over to A. Lewis, Jr.,
the new recording secretary of the
society,

KAPAA APPLICANTS
MEANT BUSINESS

In discussing the sale of Kappa town
lots last week by the government, the
Garden Island says:
"The land sale conducted by Com
missioner Pratt at Kappa this week
bears witness that the residents of Ha-
wall are not materially different from
people in other parts of the world an
the common desire for a spot which
they can call home. The fact that flu
ture street car companies will not find
themselves obliged to do much grading
in that locality seems TO be the most
attractive feature, and the only crop
that we can imagine will thrive in the
front and back yards in town would be
pulex irritans, but those will probably
be prolific owing TO the abundance of
sand. But in spite Of this people OF
the district have been clamoring for
three years for an opportunity to pos
sess small part of the Kapaa fiat, and
the large number who awaited them
selves of the chance to start home
proved that the people meant what they
said.
"When Superintendent Campbell
gets the water proposition settled and
the Governor orders the sale of the
agricultural land to take place, it will
be found that those who said that they
desire to get land that offers the buyer
an opportunity to make his livelihood
from it were equally sincere, and win
be ready to take the land off the gov
ernment's hands, always under the
superstition that the conditions are
somewhat reasonable.

WHY SUPERINTENDENT
CAMPBELL COT ANGRY

There are lots of practical jokers in
Honolulu, some of whom make the tele-
phone the chief instrument of their
torture. According to story in circu-
lation, the genial Superintendent of
Public Works is one of the victims of
even his serenity. Being called out of
the morning is rather too much of a
joke, at any rate. The conversation
was along this order:
"This you, Campbellq Were you
asleep2n
"No, no; I was out in the tennis
court playing bridge"
"Well, we hated to wake you up, but
we have an argument at the club. One
man here says you are an authority ON
waterworks. Is that right"
"Well, consider myself pretty good
in the daytime, but ! don't care to be
pulled out of bed and asked to discuss
my plans at this hour"
"You re a little sensitive about the
Nuuanu dam, aren't you?''
Sensitive nothing; don't you think
man has a right to be sensitive at q
trick like this9"
"But you re not angry2"
"No; I'm delighted
'Well, what we wanted to know wa.
this: Is there any Territorial ordinance
prohibiting citizen from taking
bath in any portion of the Nuuanu res
ervoir which is not used for drinking
purposes9"

ported by Central.

Commissioner going to Kauai to con
duct the sale. The lots were disposed
of under conditions intended to make
difficult any taking advantage Of the
law by land spectators. The partic.
ulars of the sale are found elsewhere
in this paper.
Commercial Bodies.
Two important meetings. of tho
Chamber of Commerce aud Merchants
Association, were held during the
week, both dealing with matters of
general interest. The Chamber of
Commerce endorsed without dissent.
ing vote the proposed amendments To
the Organic Act, amendments intended
to do away with some of the ambigui.
ties of the law as it stands at present,
and to simplify the handling and dis.
pcsal of the public lands. The Cham
Der, by endorsing these amendments
practically went on record as opposing
any transfer of the framing of land
laws to the local Legislature.
The Merchants Association took the
first step towards endorsing proposal
to place the National Guard on a
sounder footing, this being part OF
the governments scheme of defense
of Oahu and the extensive army and
navy possessions at this island ont
post. The Association also elected
new officers for the year, these being

ing hands. The stock opened at 81,
fell in one trade to 26.s75, and was

day, although this last was with the
dividend of l per cent. off. Pioneer,
as noted, made the biggest gains, go
ing up five points in the week. Ha-
waiian Commercial was traded in TO
the extent of las shares, closing 1.5O

Onomea also showed advances. Waia-
lua dropped off half, McBryde a

IN, the latter showing a big increase,
going from 66, for the common, to rs,
the biggest blocks bringing the in

Lime Mol a SOIL Food.

Always bear In mind that lime in no
way takes the place Of manures, fer
tilizers or green manuring. II simply
remedies sick condition Of the soil
and should be considered rather as
medicine than as a food. Its use with
out the use Of manures or fertilizers
would be much like trying to sustain
the human body on stimulants alone
without the use Of food and would re-
suit only in the greater impoverish-
ment of the soil. On the other hand,
when man ID sick he sometimes
needs medicines to get his system into
condition 80 II can again assimilate
food, and in the same way soil which
IL sick with acid must have that acid
ity cured with lime before 1t can make
use OF the plant food In the manures
or fertilizers. Perhaps my simile is a
little farfetched. but think the read
er will appreciate the point which the
writer is trying to make-that lime Is
corrective and not a food.-Alfred

was a lightning sender las well as re-

below work for two solid hours was a
Joy. After wearing him completely
