While Link McCandless is working
for the success of a bill and policy
that will absolutely prevent the Por-
tuguese tenants of Punchbowl lands
from having the first right to buy their
homes, Prince Kuhio, Delegate to Con
gress, and one of the largest owners in
the Kapiolani Estate. has made an offer
to the territorial government to turn
back to the government the lease the
latter will acquire title as soon as pos
sible to the homes in which they have
lived for SO many years and improved
in many ways.
The leases have two years more to
run and the Kapiolani Estate is now
willing to surrender the leases to the
government, thus giving the latter an
opportunity to offer the lands to the
Portuguese tenants, under the "pref-
erenee' clause. The only condition
which the kapi0lani Estate makes is
that the amount of the rentals from
tenants for the two years vet remain
ing be paid over to the estate in lieu
of the revenues which it could receive
If it held on to the lands under the
conditions of the lease 1t asks moth
ing for the lease except the actual net
amount it would receive by holding on.
should the government decide to ac-
cept the offer Of the kapiolani Estate.
1t would take some time to prepare
the lands for sale to the occupants. as
complete surveys would have to be
made of the entire Punchbowl proper-
ties which cover many city blocks. The
department of public lands would have
to have the surveys made. the lands
would have to be plotted and myriad
Of details worked out so that the titles
would be clear.
On April Is. 1901. Delegate Kuhio
introduced a bill in congress called
" The Punchbowl Land Bill in which
was set forth that about 6000 Portu-
guese were living on government land
on PunchbOwl slopes, leased to the ka-
plolanl Estate, on which they had
erected about 1000 houses the bill ask
ing that these residents be given
preference in acquiring title to the
lands when the leases expired in Au-
gust. 1912. Later. as a part of the Or
game Act Amendment Bill the Dele
gate succeeded in having preference
right secured for the Punchbowl Portu
guese and an equal right for many 9th
er Portuguese and Hawaiians in other
parts of the island
NcCandless s pledged to take away
this preference from the Punehbowl

TEMPT SIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., September 80.
President Taft, in receiving dele
gates to the international prison con-
gress in this city, yesterday delivered
an address in which he cautioned prison
officials against making prisons so
comfortable as to furnish a motive for
the violation of the law. The President
pointed out a tendency in some in
stances to conduct prisons altogether
too much to the taste of their occu-
pants and declared that too many peo-
pie went to Jail for comfort s sake.

ROUTINE MEETING
OF LAND BOARD
Several Minor Matters Disposed
Of-Kapaa to Be Tackled
Next Week.

The meeting of the land board yes
terday afternoon was chiefly of a
routine character, no important matters
being taken up. Several minor PROPOSE
tions, however, were finally disposed
of.
The Kappa matter, that is the bane
of the board, was not touched upon,
notwithstanding the fact that at the
previous meeting it had been virtually
decided to discuss that matter at the
meeting yesterday. The board, how
ever, wanted to clear the decks of the
small propositions first, and when adj
journment was taken, it was with the
purpose of meeting again next Wednes-
day and taekling Kappa.
Maui Ranch Lands Again
Mr.. Trent started the meeting by
reading several letters from people on
Maui. in reference to the Waiohulji and
keokeo lands, for the lease of which
the Cornwell Estate has applied. Sew
eral of the writers expressed a desire
to homestead a portion of the lands
and asked the board to defer any ac
ton until they should have time to
file their applications. Andrade said
he had received two similar letters. On
motion these letters were ordered
spread upon the minutes
The application of Brewer & Co. for
the renewal Of it's lease of the land at

Kawailoalele Again.
Once more the kawailoalele land
question came up, this time on an APP
pIication for a reconsideration of the
board 5 decision to restrict the lots to
one-half acre. The applicants asked
the board to give them not less than
two acres apiece, on the ground that
the distance from town and the diff
culties of conveyance warrant the land
being divided into lots of not less than
this size.
The board discussed the matter at
considerable length Finally An1rade
stated that he would be in favor of
amending the former action by moving
that the lots be made one acre each

Gilbert White returned Tuesday from
his trip to Challis and the surrounding
country and ne was much pleased with
the evidences of a new movement
going on there occasioned by the pro-
spects of the Gilmore & Pittsburgh
railroad building up the valley of the
Salmon river from Salmon City
Northern Custer county is a great
country for stock raising and there are
valuable mines but the lack of trans
portation has made it slow and nothing
extensive will be undertaken till the
new rail road is a sure thing. But
there seems to be no doubt in the
minds of any that it viii come and
that soon. Surveying crews are still
in the field locating q line from Challis
to Boise but which route viii be finally
selected is still uncertain. 1t Is only 2
short time May IS till the golden spike
will be driven connecting Salmon with
the outside world and after that the
line will undoubtedly be located south
to Challis. OF course development viii
take on the action of boom in the
Chalhs country when the road is once
located and men know what to depend
on. Mr.. White also visited the big
dam on the Big Lost river for the i'm
pounding of irrigating water FOR
Carey project The severe winter de-
layed the work so that full supply
will not be available before next sea-
son. A trip of this kind is vel worth
taking just for the pleasure of the
thing but when it is combined with
business it becomes doubly desirable.
