Delay Might Help.

Thurston expressed the opinion that
kinney's construction of the law, in
regard to the discretion of the board
was the EXTREMIST possible. He thought
that delay would be better, if by della :
things can be done to get as many PEG
pie on the land as possible. Delay, OF
course, should not be simply a subter

Settlers, Not Money, Wanted.

Mr.. Campbell was asked the upset
prices at which the mauka Kappa lands
were formerly offered. He replied that
the first price was $50 an acre and
this was afterward cnt to $25. Kinney
and Trent both expressed surprise at
the size of the figures, the former stat
ing that equally as good land in the
kalaheo district can be had at from
$50 to s. an acre. Campbell said
that on one occasion he put. Kapaa
lots up at auction at as low as So an
acre but the Portuguese bid them up
to 5000.
"Yes,' said Kinney, "and a cruel
thing was done thereby. | say that
with the conditions imposed on the
homesteader, the cash value of the land
is very low
Again Kinney came back to his orig
inal proposition. The presumption, -
he said, els that all the lands are in
the homestead class, and strong reasons
must exist for Withholding them from
that use.'
"Wouldn't the public demand that
we use diseretion?' Campbell wanted

County Should Handle Water.
In regard to getting water on the
kaPaa lands, Kinney was strongly Of
the opinion that that should be left to
the county Of Kauai. Campbell could
not see this.
Campbell again insisted that, to his
mind, the leasing of this land would be
the best move the board could make to-
ward settling the land finally with home

BREAKS HER FAST
Negro Woman Charged With
Murder Eats Breakfast.

Breaking her three weeks fast by
eating hearty breakfast of ham,
eggs and toast and drinking a cup of
coffee, Matte Troy, charged with the
murder of her stepson, requested to-
day that the portion of the meal serv-
ed to her and remaining uneaten be
left in her cell. She said she would
want the remainder of the food later
during the day. The food taken is the
first she has eaten since three weeks
ago this morning when she ate most
of an egg.
Officers now believe that the wo-
man, who lies naked upon the padded
floor of her cell, has found her self
imposed task of starving to death too
painful and has decided to take the
nourishment for which her body has
SO long cried out. She seems more
quiet and it is expected that she will
soon give up the insanity dodge by
which, according to physicians, she
has been trying to escape trial for
murder. True, she still declares
wolves and other animals are after
her, but her rawlings" are not nearly
so wild as formerly. 1t is believed that
as soon as she partakes of sufficient
nourishment to restore her to normal
physical condition whatever mental
trouble she may have had will depart.

Traffic on the overland Santa Fe, which
runs past the reservoir, has been suspend

through the intense heat about the burn

dense black smoke and it is feared that
should the fire spread the entire plant,

Gangs of men, mule teams and the
Richmond fire department are removing
all inflammable material near the fire,
but no attempt is being made to inter

authorities fearing explosion should

pumping of oil into the reservoir has been
stopped and the fire will be allowed to
burn itself out.
