FROM AN AUTOMOBILIsT.

FROM AN AUTOMOBILIST.
Editor FL PaSo Herald:
L. Z. Booker in Tuesdays Herald
wants to know what you think of
making a general rendezvous for au-
tomobiles of Pioneer plaza" and goes
out OF his way to take little fling at
we people in the auto business, as well
as at out patrons.
1 can inform him that respectable
men of families, and with good ante
cedants are in the business, and the
same class patronize them
We are on the plaza with our ma
chimes at the suffrance of the city
council. nor do we monopolize its use
We believe we are running the bust
ness in respectable way and know
We get respectable patronage.
Dir. Booker says most of our patron
age comes from the sporting class. and
his own past experience in the auto
mobile business in Ell Paso may war
rant his thinking SO, but as to US he is
mistaken.

WATER CASE MAY
Be PROMISED
Injunction Proceedings Against
Territory May Be Settled
Out of Court.

1t is possible that the Waikiki water
case, in which the Territory is the re.
spondent and the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany the petitioner, may be compro
missed. Attorney-Ge neral Lindsay stated
yesterday afternoon that negotiations
for a compromise are under way, and
there is hope that the matter will not
have to be thrashed out in the courts,
which would be a long and expensive
proceeding for each side.
The Waikiki Sugar Company is suing
for an injunction to restrain the Terri
tory from taking water from the Wal
luku river for the use of the town of
Waikiki, and favorable decision would
result in cutting Wailuku off from a
considerable share of its water supply.
The case is very complicated one,
going back into the ancient history OF
the town of Wailuku. AT one time there
were a considerable number of taro
| patches some distance back from the
river, the water to irrigate which was
drawn from the river. The old law
gave the owners of these taro patches
water rights, which have descended
with the land.
But now a part of the town Of Wal.
luku is built on the site of the old taro
patches. Also, the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany has acquired, by purchase or other
wise, many of the old taro patches
while the Territory has acquired by pur
chase and lease some of those remain
ing.
Originally the government owned one
small kuleana in the taro district, and
when the town of Wailuku grew up the
| government, holding that it had the
water right that went with this ku-
leana, began piping the water to the
town. But there appears to be ques
| ton as to how much water the govern
ment was entitled to under this holding
| The sugar company, having acquired 8
| large number of the old holdings, claims
that it has a right to more water thar
it is getting and that the Territory il
| taking too much. On the other hand
some of the residents of Waikiki are
the heirs or assigns of the original tarc
| patch owners, and they claim that they
have never abandoned their rights and
that the government is merely piping
to them their own water, the right tt
which they have retained, and that they
are not paying for water but for ser
vice.
The supreme court some years age
decided that the sugar company had thu
right to all the water by night and tn,
town of Waikiki the right to all of i
by day. This, however, was merely al
attempt at an equitable adjustment o
the difficulty, but it promises to hav
its effect in the present case, if the cas-
goes to trial.
Altogether, the matter is very com
plicated one, and although the propert.
rights involved are not extremely larg
the principle involved is important.

the Canadian-Paciic Railway, concern
ing tourist travel from Canada and the
northwest, and Mr.. Busted expressed
the opinion that this winter, although
every steamer from Vancouver has been
loaded with tourists for Honolulu, the
Islands We're only getting 1.-THE of
the number that would come next sea-
son. Mr.. Busteed. he stated, has been
here only week, but is an ardent
enthusiast about the Hawaiian Islands
and on returning to Canada, will do
everything he can to promote the in
terests of the Islands, particularly as
tourist or winter resort for Cana
dams. Mr.. Busted stated that the
Canadian farmers are now becoming
very prosperous and wanted a place
to go to during the cold weather. There
was no better place in the world during
summer than Canada and they did not
care to 60 elsewhere then.
Miller Buys Property.
Mr.. Wood also stated that w. O.
Miller. general superintendent of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, at Vancou
yer. who has been here about five
weeks, is also enthusiastic over the Is
lands and believes they are to become
a great winter resort. That he has
faith in Hawaii is evidenced by the
fact that he has just bought an acre
of land at Kaimuki, where he may builC
in order to have a winter home. H.
told Mr.. Wood that two conductors o.
the Canadian Pacific Railway wer'
here on a vacation and one of then
had also bought lot at Kaimuki.
Mr.. Busted has expressed the opin
ion that Hawaii will become one o
the great resorts. On his return h
expects to assist in advertising the Is
lands in many ways. He Suggested
that the two Princess steamers noy
plying between Vancouver and Vietori
would be excellent for service between
Vancouver and Honolulu.
The secretary also stated that MI
Busteed had promised that whoever III
promotion committee should send mort
TO do promotion work for Hawaii wonl
be given transportation over thei
lines II Is likely that Mrs. Headle

leve prohibition was the manner to
accomplish this end. He stated also
that he did not believe the resolutions
passed by the chamber of commerce to
be correct in the position taken; that
is, that the local government is fit
and competent to handle the liquor
question or that it could or would do
so, nor did he believe asking federal
aid in this instance to be an opening
wedge for total deprivation of local
government.
"The pernicious activity of the liq-
uor interests in politics" said he,
both in Hawaii and on the mainland,
should be discontinued, and l do be
lieve federal aid necessary to get
carrying ont of this end, owing to the
fact that federal officials are less sus-
ceptible to local influence and friends.
"While / believe in this, do not
believe an attempted prohibition fair
to our fellow citizens, or something
that could be carried out to the full
extent. Rather many, at present, well
meaning citizens would in all prob
ability, be turned into law breakers, by
being forced by their appetites to in
dulge in methods which could only be
Instantaneous to their moral char
acter.'
Upon being requested to withdraw
| his vote and make the ballot unan-
imous, he again took the floor and said:
"While I am in sympathy with the
liquor traffic as against prohibition, yet
| / am in favor of anything which VIII
be in the line of progress to regulate
the traffic. and feeling as / do, that
| the evils of such traffic need not be
exploited. yet ] am willing to do what
ever lies in my power to secure the
effect of harmony in the meeting, and
will therefore withdraw my vote and
ask that the ballot be made unan
mous.'
Magoon Strong.
J. Alfred Magoon made rousing
temperance speech and declared with
vehemence that in his State of Maine
prohibition did prohibit, that as boy
there he had never seen but one drunk
en- man, that coming out to California
he had seen many. Liquor was deci
