IN KAP "A
MATTER
Leases Of Sugar Lands
viii Be Advertised
Before Long.

Next Friday the Land Department
will advertise for lease the South Oil
hena lands, part of the famous Kappa
lands about the final dispositions of
which there has been SO much con-
troversy. The South Olihena lands,
.however, constitute but small por-
ton of the entire Kappa lands, there
being but about $50 acres of sugar
lands in the tract.
Notwithstanding the strenuous eff
forts made by certain interested par
ties to make it appear that the Kappa
matter has not been settled and that
the Governor is attempting to conceal
from the public the real situation re-
garding the Kappa lands, it remains a
matter of fact that there is no secret
about the matter. ALI negotiations
with the Makee Sugar Company are
off and have been off for some months,
as was announced by Governor Frear
long time ago. The negotiations were
dropped more than year ago, but
were revived last May At that time
the plantation made a proposition to
the government which the Governor
refused to agree to. The government
eountered with another proposition,
which was rejected by the plantation,
and the negotiations came to an end.
That, concluded the matter so far as
Colonel Spalding and the Makee Su-
gar Company were concerned, and
thereafter the plantation was out of
the deal entirely.
AS matter of fact, there never has
been any secret about the Kappa mat
ter, even so far as the evening publica-
ton is concerned which has been try
ing so hard for the past few months
to persuade the dear public that it was
being left out in the cold and that the
Governor was conducting the public
business without taking the same dear
public into bis confidence. The entire

CONSERVATION, THEME OF
MENDENHALL AND HOSMER
Interesting Addresses Are Delivered Before
Members of the Woman's Rivers and
tiarbors' Congress by Experts.

In the lounging room of the CONNER
eial Club yesterday afternoon the Wo-
mans Rivers and Harbors Congress
local representation held a session in
the interest of conservation of national
resources with particular reference to
the needs of Hawaii, at which w. G..
Mendenhall of the government bureau
of conservation at Washington, and R.
S. Hosmer, Superintendent of Forestry
of the Territorial Bureau of Agrieul-
ture, made addresses. Both addresses
were of deep interest to the large audi
ence. Mrs. Philip Weaver opened the
session by introducing Mr.. Mendenhall.
Mendenhau on Conservation.
W. c. Mendenhall spoke on conserva-
lion and the territorial water supply
as follows:
The term Conservation unknown
except in limited circles five years ago
is now on every tongue. The national
movement for which that term stands
was unheard of by the general public
before the Roosevelt regime. If by
accident its quiet although sturdy be-
ginnings came to the attention of our
practical statesmen, it was regarded
as one of the infinite number of Utopian
schemes born each decade and dying at
birth But this movement, founded on
wise foresight; standing for the APP
phcation in national affairs, and to nat
ural resources. of the simple principles
which every business man applies in his
own business affairs, and which every
wise housekeeper uses in the manage
ment of her own household; made in
stant appeal TO the common sense of
each individual who came to understand
1t; and so, from an obscure movement
without influential support, it s1rang
under the vigorous championship of
Theodore Roosevelt and his friend. Gift

Several ships completed four-hour

In addition to the above wireless
message from the flagship Tennessee,
which reached here last evening from
Maalaea Bay, Maui, wireless report
also arrived giving the following aver
ages, by knots, made by each of the
seven warships participating in the
speed trials on Tuesday and Wednes-
day:
Tennessee, 21.25; Washington, 21.28;
California, 20.45; South Dakota, 21.50;
West Virginia, 21.35; Maryland, 20.8s;
Pennsylvania, 21.85. The last named
vessel, therefore, made the best record
It is said that the coal used in the
trials was far from satisfactory, and
this may be reason why the vessels
did not attain higher averages.
The speed trial appears to have been
completed without mishap. The war
ships were scheduled to be put to as
severe strain as every pound of steam
could develop.
One division is now about to enter
the harbor of Hilo, in order that the
officers may visit the crater of Kilauea
The vessels of Admiral Barry s division

Honolulu is facing a serious water
famine, and unless the rains come soon

No LIGHT, BUT BAND
PLAYS JUST THE SAME

Tuesday night s concert at Aala Park
was played in Erebusian darkness. Not
only that, but Captain Berger and his
musiemakers had to climb up over the
railing to get into the bandstand. And
it all came about owing to the forget
fitness of the park keeper, who did not
show up. Captain Berger was not to
be foiled by any laggard park keeper,
however, and the concert took place,
though only such music as the players
know well enough to play without their
notes could be negotiated There was
big crowd of people at the park and
the concert proved very popular one.
Mrs Alapai did not materialize so there
was no singing. Several times lately
the band vocalist has not been on hand.

No PUBLIC MONEY FOR
LIQUOR, SAYS WALDROh

Fred L. Waldron has some pretty
pronounced ideas on a good many sub
jects and among them is that of spend
ing public money on liquor. E'Where
money is raised by popular subscrip-
tion or taken from public funds for
the entertainment of any person or
persons, not one cent should be spent
on liquor said Waldron yesterday, in
discussing one expense account filed
in connection with the entertaining of
the Congressional party 81 do not
believe that there should be any com
promise in the matter. 1t is not right
to take funds, raised by popular sub
seription, and spend them on booze.

mediately forwarded to the mayor of
the stricken city with the statement
that it would be followed with other

have been particularly blessed in al
most totally escaping disasters and
pestilences of all kinds that have
been visited upon other sections, so
we hope we shall see our way clear
TO give of our abundance to these
cities that have not been so fortunate.
Following the example of the Pres
byterian Sunday school, let's al of us
join in and send nice purse to the
