LAND DRAWINGS
DISAPP FRONTING
Not One Applicant Appeared for
Every Ten Lots Put Up by
Government.

Improvements of the homesteads
which were drawn for during Governor
Frear's recent visit to the Island of
Hawaii will be taken up Immediately,
Hon. H. L. Holstein having arrived on
the Mauna Kea yesterday to secure a
large number of trees from the bureau
of agriculture and forestry to plant
upon the majority of lots on West Ha.
wall although on a number of them
the new homesteaders propose to grow
| cotton.
Governor Frear, in telling the results
of his trip over Hawaii, states that it
was primarily to conduct the land draw.
ing selections, which was done at four
different places-K ohala, Kailua, Waio-
hino and Hilo. Everything went off
very smoothly, and most of the people
interested seemed to be satisfied. There
were few instances where persons were
disappointed by having some one else
draw the lots they desired. The people
seemed to have talked this phase over
beforehand.
Disappointing Number.
Altogether there were sol lots adver-
tised on that Island. There we're 1888
applicants, and of these sevent 1.-TWO APP
peared and selected lots These were
divided as follows: Forty-two right-of-
purchase leases, twenty-one taken under
the homestead law and nine under the
cash freehold agreement. Three other
applicants are to select lots later on.
One was found 10 be entitled to pref
erence right.
Governor as Attorney.
In Kan the people seemed to be
pleased at the manner in which the
drawing was held and the result. The
Governor made many specific inquiries
as TO homesteaders and the status of
their holdings. In one place they found
that parents who would have been en-
titled to a preference right had died,
leaving little girl entitled to their
preference. The Governor sent for the
grandmother, and all appeared before
Judge Matthewman, where the Governor
acted as attorney for the little girl,
who was given her preference right,
and the property was turned over to
the child grandmother as guardian.
OF the applicants, ffty-four were men
and nineteen women. Nearly all were
Hawaiians; there was one Portuguese,
one Turk and one japanese woman.
The Governor has heard that those
who drew lots in Kohala have already
started to clear off the lantana, and are
manfesting a good deal of interest in
their holdings.
In Kona only three lots We're up, and
two of these were taken. 1t is under
stood, however, that these lots, which
are large, will be divided up into
smaller holdings

The Malihini Tree contribution list
is going ahead daily, although the i'm
preston exists that there are a good
many waiting to be asked before they
contribute, To disappoint them will be
painful for the committee members, but
the hope is that there will have to be
no exceptions and that every dollar
that comes in to the fund will repre-

pure satisfaction of helping at this

Governor Frear expressed his pleasure
at having the opportunity to meet the

the use of the prison labor on Halemau-

more than thirteen men at present, bat
the mterIsland company would bring
ten more if the county would pay their
fares from Honolulu.

CONSCIENCE FUND

1t was shame to take any Demo.
cratic money when KuhiO was elected
because money won on his election was
too easy. 1t was like taking coppers
from baby.
However everyone who cashed in
after election has chance to give
some of the coin back to the babies
and square themselves with their own
conscience. The good example has been
set.
Yesterday, The Advertiser received
four ten dollar gold pieces, accom-
panied by the following note:

Croquet and Tea.


Mr.. Thurston said the construction of
the road had not been by the county
but he thought there should have been
more force behind it. He thought the
county should have more control, also
that the work should not be left in
charge of Jailer Cockett who allowed
the prisoners to play croquet at three
also to sit on their verandas and drink
afternoon tea. The road would have
cost less had there been no prison labor,
and it would have been done much
quicker had the men worked like those
of Supervisor Lyman do in the Puma
district.
Lyman said that was where one of
the crossfires existed 1t seemed to the
board that the prisoners had been sent
up here as trip for their health, and
not for work. For that reason the
board wanted to control the work. Now
that it was given them. the camp would
be moved at once to the Kau road.
Fire Station Site.
Chairman Lewis then referred to the
fire station site.
Marston Campbell thought it hardly
fit structure to remain on the lot next
the federal site, at the corner of Kuhio
| and Waianuenue streets. He suggested
moving it on rollers to Shipman street,
and the Territory would give the county
a site in the civic center, where a hand
/ some building could be erected later.
If the county would apply for this, he
would recommend to the Governor that
it be granted corner site. Offers and
suggestions he made to Hilo were in
the best faith and for its best interests,
though they were not always so re-
ceived. He felt that Hawaii county had
big proposition with but little money,
owing to the many miles of roads which
had to be built and so constantly re.
paired on account of the rainfall. This
was not recognized by the people, each
of whom was busy in looking after the
little ehuckhole in front Of his own
place.
Lyman said they had found it so diff.
fcult previously to get anything from
the county that they had bought their
own county building, and now II was
all paid for. In the meantime the
county would look for and be glad to
receive land in small pieces at a time,
knowing well that it would be a valu'
able asset for the county In years 20
come. He was opposed 10 selling what

might want TO buy IL back some day

Marston Compbell said there were yet
plenty of opportunities for them 10 get

gested that the board furnish him with

and which might he withdrawn from

Cooperation Desired.


Supervisor Lyman said the board was
glad to welcome the territorial officials
and receive their advice, learn what was
best to do and not cross any action of
the Territory. The board has been dis
appointed at the slow work done at
Halemaumau which had occupied four
years at cost of $9O03. They agreed
to pay the passage of ten more prison
ers, would try to make a more rapid
record and appreciated the privilege of
having the men to work on the Kau
road
The Governor said there was no rea-
son why the Territory and county
should not work in complete harmony.
He hoped the board would let him know
what was needed, pass a resolution and
fully explain the matter in an accom-
panving letter He believed the mem
bers were all honest, there was not one
that he doubted from any district in
the island. If there were a disagree
ment on any proposition they must
write again and gradually get in har-
mony and agree. You are criticized by
the people of this comfy, l am by the
people of the whole Territory. A public
official must expect that be thick of
skin, cheerful of spirit and do the best
he knows how. We are all in the public
eve. we all make mistakes, the people
watch and criticize us. If this be hon
estly done it should be welcome, if un'
Justly then we should not mind it.
Supervisor shipman felt that there
was some justice in their protest at the
way they had previously been crit
cized by the Territory. Regarding the
Halemaumau road while the county had
put up the money for the work, they
wanted to have control of the work
how it should be built, where, what
machinery should be used. Bat they
were allowed no privilege except that
of paying the bills, and this had made
them feel that the Territory was
against the board.

Last year our public domain, to the extent

The official report shows that Uncle Sam
still has 712,OOO,OOO acres, awaiting the actual

Besides this ample supply for the future,
capable of drainage, which will double the

Then, again, there is the vast region which
can be made into the most productive farms

Why is it that his other employee, j. O.
Cochran, vii not explain h0a0 he got the
Columbus woman to make her statement, and
Why he did not get her to deny that she told
Joe Sid Turner how she had been mistreated
IN Gov. Smiths office, a few moments before?
She made Immediate c0napzaint-which is
always most important point in such cases.
Why IS it that he refused to ask Ed. Cason
and Samuel Busy what they knew of poor
Fannie Vandever and her bastard child? Or
to interview Lee Smith, who is named as the
man whom Hoke Smith paid to arrange the
abduction?
What pity it is that we have no office of
Lieutenant Governor! The Legislature which
consents to inaugurate Hoke Smith, o0ithout
previous investigation Of those h5deOus
charges ought, for the sake of consistency, to
create the office of Lieutenant Governor and
elect Seey to it,
Then, indeed, the grand old commonwealth
of eorgia would be covered with glory
What fine influence it would have on the
rising generation OF young people to witness
the exaltation of such phenomenal brace of
frauds and hypocrites as Hoke Smith and
Fred Seely are!
Ireland would have no more of Parnell's
leadership after she learned of his relations
with Capt. O'Sheas wife
But the proud State of Georgia, which
spewed out the lecherous Livingston, con-

The mote had to 60: the beam is suffered to
stay.
Next year we will doubtless read again of
Governor Smiths attendance upon the South
Georgia Conference, of his being presented by
Bishop Gambler, and of his preaching to the
preachers. Also, of his sanctimonious sermon
to the North Georgia Conference!
How long will it be until all decent folks
quit patronizing oeely's dishonest paper?
How long before petitions will be circulated
demanding Hoke Smiths resignation?

Fred LOring Seely; Or, the Last of
The Carpet-BaggerS

You remember Bulwer's novel, 'FThe Last
of the Barons?"
And Coopers story of "The Last Of the
Mohicans"
Also, Tom Moores ''Last Rose of Sum-
mer?"
From these classic sources comes my in
splratlon to write about erred. Loring Seely,
the last of the Carpet-baggers."
That's my text: now the homily:
| wonder how it feels to marry rich mans
only daughter. Don't you?
Bless goodness! When I dropped into mat
rimony [ didn't have anything in the world
hardly, excepting my fiddle and my ambition;
and as to my wife, her principal proprietor
ship was her confidence in Yours Truly.
But, heavens above! [ was so glad to get
her, that another girl with gold-mine dowry
wouldn't have taken my eyes off little Geor-
gia Durham. Perfectly fascinated, you see.
That way, yet.
But some times | muse and mediate and
PONDER ruminatingly, over the luck Of Some
People. Especially the young men who, with
out the slightest idea Of marrying for money,
do it.
Now, there's that Egregious Ass, Fred
Seely: to look at him you'd never suspect
that he could play Fascination Fledgely to
rich mans daughter. But he did. Got a
fine lady, and a nearness to big pile of
ducats- pparently with not one-fourth the
trouble that it took me to marry girl as poor
as myself.
Fate is so capricious. You never can tell.
In this connection, remember the saying about
the lousy calf, and then hurry on.
Having allied himself to a rich Medicine
man, Seely picked up his carpet-bag, and
came South.
He had seen others do it. Hoke Smith, for
instance Seelys quest was not for his health
He came down upon us for the money he
thought was in it.
Gracious He was hard to satisfy, wasn't
he? Bv winning the rich medicine-man's
charming daughter, he had annexed himself
to fortune and therefore he might have at
forded to let us keep what little the other and
earlier Carpet baggers had left us. But no.
He wanted more They all do.
So the first thing we knew, Seely. was In
our midst, making himself solid with our
Religious Element in the Upper and Better
world. Got to be sort of Sunday -school lee
turer, you know. er
Likewise, he became an active leader of The
Moral Element of Atlanta; and when you can
do thing like that, you have hit the stride
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-12-22
THE JEFFERSONIAN

He was absolutely Horrifed when Jim
Woodward got too much Red-eye on board;
and did in the Red-light district what Hoke
Smith is said to have done in the Governors
office. So much were Seely's feelings upset,
and shocked, and agonized by the conduct of
Woodward, that he turend his big automo-
bile over to the negroes a0hO eOere so glad to
get q chance to beat q Democratic m0mainoee
Poor Jim! I'm afraid that he will be made
cynical, and will lose faith in things gen
orally. He ought to go and hire a lot of
toughs to Kidnap some Fannie Vandever: in
that event he might regain the favor of The
Moral Element of Atlanta Or he might do
it, by running some mail-clerk's wife. Or by
having an octoroon ex-school-marm for his
mistress.
Of course you are to understand that when
[ ahix the title of ''Last of the Carpet bag
gers to Fred Seely, [ reach for the salt. It's
more of a hope than an expectation, when [
refer to Fred as the last one
There were other ''Barons," after the King
maker Warwick: there were few Mo
hicans left, after Cooper wrote his book: and
Tom Moore could have found later roses, had
he gone farther South
So, while Seely is, at present, the last of
the Carpet-baggers, I wouldn't swear that
there will not be Others
However, [ devoutly pray that, if there are
any more who resemble Seely, they will stay
where they are.
And that reminds me that heard a most
interesting story, few days ago, about man
named f. Loring Seely, who turned up, from
Somewhere Else, in Terre Haute, Indiana,
years ago.
This man was younger then than F. L.
Seely is m0eU
Calling himself F. Loring Seely, this Terre
Haute person began to sell city lots, on the
lnstallment plan.
The story is, that he did not own any lots
And, it is said, that after collecting two or
three payments from the purchasers of these
alleged mythical lots, he disappeared from
Terre Haute
Just think of how his dupes must have
felt
The story is that two of the men who had
been swindled, resolved to run down the said
F. Loring Seely.
It is said that they discovered him in st.
Louis, and compelled him to disgorge the
amount which they had put into the swindle.
He, of course, begged for promise that
they would keep the matter secret; and such
a promise was given. Nevertheless, it leaked
out, as things of that sort generally do.
Of the little bird who brought the news to
me, asked this question:
"TVhat became Of F. Lorimg Seezy after
that?"
The answer made me was:
ut IS said that he q0e1at South, and entered
the newspaper business"
Isn't is singular coincidence that the full
name of the Editor of The Georgian should
be
FREDERICK LORING SEELY?
