ONE HOUSE TABU IN
PLANTATION CAMP

Alarming reports have emanated
from Kauai for the past two weeks
concerning guerdon of armed guards
that are supposed TO be drawn around
one of the plantation camps at Lihue
enforcing quarantine for something,
no one seems have any cognizanee of.
Several visitors to Lihue have brought
back seeming verification Of what has
arrived in letters, but, unfortunately,
it looks as IL Kauai was merely hard
up for sensations now that the labor
raid hash t materialized and Senator
Eairchild is busy packing for the Phil.
ippines.
The board of health, asked for veri.
fcation yesterday afternoon, reported
one house in plantation camp at the
Kauai's hustling metropolis which is
placed under guard by the sheriff
and quarantined against a case of diph-
liberia. AS it is large house. the
families therein apparently make q
noise like full camp. Doctor Pratt
expects letter on the case today from
Chief Inspector Cook, of Kauai.

Now that the money from the bond
issue is assured by the middle Of Aug
ust, the superintendent of public works
yesterday obtained the permission of
the Governor to call for tenders this
week for water and sewer pipes and
connections.
The sum of $l50,OOO is to be spent
on sewers during the present fiscal year
and $l25 900 on waterworks extensions.
The first tenders to be asked for will
be in connection with the Kaimulsi

A section of the proposed eighteen.

to connect with the line at Beretania
and Nuuann avenues from whence it
will go down Nuuanu avenue to King
street and be laid north aud south 20

proposed to, later, lay another eighteen
inch pipe line from Nuuanu avenue to
Kalihi and also along Beretania to re.

ISSUES PLAIN WARNING
TO FAKE HOMESTEADERS
Governor FFear Tells
Of Frauds Upon
Hawaii.

9 . 80 . . .
Every effort should be made
70 assist and encourage bona
fido homesteadera, but Just as
certainly every effort should be
made TO thwart mere specula-
tors. The greed Of special In
terests when operating against
} the public interests should be
checked in all cases and under
all circumstances, whether It
} operates ON small scale or on
q large scale and under what
ever forms IL may attempt to
disguise itself. The Spectators
are the ones that make che most
} noise and of course always on
pretenses of good faith.
Confidence, however, may as
a rule safely be placed in the
right disposition Of the public.
The public may generally be de-
pended upon to support the
right, the genuine, -provided
that it understands what is of
that character, that is, provid-
ed it understands the facts.
1t is simply a question
whether policies in the all i'm
portant matter of homestead
ing shall be determined by the
clamor of fakes or by the in
terests of the people at large
and of sincere homesteaders.

Complicated Problem.

There is hardly any phase of the
complicated and difficult problem of
homesteading in this Territory of great
err Importance than this. The land
should be divided with special refer
ence to the capacity of those who pro-
pose to take it, and considering the
high productivity of the land and the
large amount of capital required to eul-
tivate it. The lots should be made of
different areas according to many
varying circumstances and, if the lots
are made small enough, the homestead
ers may be given the option of taking
one lot or two or even more adjoining
lots, but under conditions which will
make it inadvisable for them to take
more than they can handle, thus allow
ing the matter TO be determined large
" automatically and by the homestead
ers themselves They should then be
held up to the requirements of cult
walton and allowed to retain only so
much as they can properly cultivate.
Hitherto homesteaders of cane lands
have as a rule obtained far more than
they would or could take care of, with
the result that in most cases they have
either allowed the land TO go to weeds
or have practically leased II TO others
and lived on the income without per
forming any of the requirements of

suit has been that instead Of home.

sions to fake homesteaders.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-08-01
cultivation Requirements.

In the matter of cultivation, under
tight of purchase lease, homestead
er may allow the entire land, even
highly developed cane land, to RIM to
grass and weeds until just before the
end of the third year, and then need
cultivate only per cent of the land
He should be required, especially IN the
case of cane land, to cultivate a much
large. percentage and at much earlier
date, as is required under the special
homestead agreement, so that, assuming
that he cannot lease the land to others,
he shall not be allowed to allow it to
run to weeds and thus waste it, as has
been done in some cases even before
the recent amendments of the Organic
Act.
The matter of the size of homestead
lots, especially one cane lands, is one
that until recently has been given lit
tie attention, or one that has been
dealt with on ideal lines that have
seldom been realized and consequently
with most disastrous results Applican S
clamored for so or 100 acres of cane
land who would not or could not prop
erly handle more than small fraction
of that area, and the land has been
divided and given out accordingly on
the theory that an enterprising Amer
lean with capital who understood
farming needed so much land, while as
matter of fact in almost every case
the land was taken, as might be ex-
peeted, by persons far from that class.

v|OLENT AND
| FLOOD IN NAPLES.
Many People Killed---Damage to
Property Enormous---Frag-
mentary Reports.

Naples, Sept. 22.-Swept by ter
rible storm today much OF the prov.
ince of Naples has been devasted,
many lives lost and enormous damage
to property has resulted. Already
sixty bodies have been recovered, and
when the reports from the districts cut
| off from communication with this city
are received, it is feared this number
will be more than doubled.
The storm was at it's worst in the vi.
cinity OF Vesuyius. The sky had been
overcast for some time, and the rain
fall was preceded by wind which at
times approached the proportions OF a
tornado. Houses we're unroofed,
fences and outbuildings destroyed,
and trees telegraph aud telephone wires
and poles Aattened on the ground.
The rainfall was unprecedented for
this season. Torrents poured down,
sweeping mud and stones down the
hills, while on the lowlands the water
rose to the level OF the second stories OF
the houses.
Many fled IN terror to the open air
only to meet death there.
The towns of Resina and Tore del
Greco were the chief sufferers, more
than half OF them being demolished.
Soldiers have been sent into the
stricken district to aid the sufferers and
bury the dead.
Naples, Sept 22.-Many have been
killed and enormous property damage
done by violent storm and flood IN
Naples and its vicinity early today.
Ten corpses have already been recov-
cred 10 the city Scores are missing
and undoubtedly dead. Reports from
the outlying district are fragmentary:
owing to the prostration OF the tele>
graph, but it is feared there is heavy
death roll.
Sixty bodies have now been recov-
cred, and it is feared that the local
casualty list when completed will be
much larger.

DEFEAT Of THE

lie" declaredspremier to be Robert L.
Borden, leader of the conservatives, in
discussing the overwhelming defeat o.
the liberal party and its reciprocity
programme today. No such spirit
exists. In rejecting reciprocity Canada
has simply affirmed her adherence to a
policy OF national development that
she has pursued for years. The govern
ment, without mandate from the peo-
pie undertook to reverse that policy and
upon submitting their action to the
people were defeated.
1t is my conception that friendly
relations between Canada and the
United States can best be maintained
il each country preserves complete and
entire control over its own tariff and
enters into no entangling agreements
which might impair and affect that
CONTROL"
Ottawa, Sept. 22.-Canada will build
her trade up within her own boundaries
and make trade concessions only to
Great Britain. That is the construction
placed by all classes today on yesterdays
sweeping victory OF the conservative,
when they repudiated reciprocity and
swept the Laurier administr,,t ,,tion out

trade relations with their nearest neigh
bor.
Halifax, n. S., Sept. 22.-The liberal
threat to defeat Rober. l.. Borden,
leader of the conservatives and the next
premier OF Canada, came uncomfortab'y
close to being consummated, and Bor-
den and his friends have not yet re-
covered from their fright, At noon,
with six polling places missing the Bor-
den plurality was only 43, but it was
considered certain that in the missing
districts be more than held his own.
The fight against the conservative leader
was carried up to the very closing OF the
polls, and for a time early today 1t
seemed that he had been defeated.
