hundred thousand acres available for
homestead purposes, of which a part
must be reclaimed by irrigation These
lands are usually leased until they
are desired for homestead purposes.
The rentals range from almost nothing
to about SO per acre per annum.
They are worth in fee simple from al
most nothing to several hundred dol
lars an acre, but when sold for home
stead purposes they are usually sold
at comparatively low valuations, say,
from 81 to SIS per acre, according to
location, quality, etc.
Methods of demonstrating.
All homesteads are disposed of by
drawings, or, after advertisement for
drawings, on application. The areas
of the lots vary from a fraction of an
acre to eighty acres, according to To-
cation, quality, method of disposition,
and the needs and ability of the peo-
pie who desire them. There is ten
dency to reduce the areas on account
of the great productivity of the soil
and the comparatively large amount or
capital per acre required to develop
and maintain a farm. There are five
methods of homesteading, as follows:
1. SIecial Homestead Agreement.
The homesteader pays the purchase
price in ten annual instruments,
per cent down, 5 per cent in
one year, and 10 per cent each year
thereafter, without interest, with the
privilege of paying earlier if he de-
sires; he must begin residence on the
land within three years, thus giving
him time to earn a livelihood in other
ways until he can get his farm on
paying basis, and he must reside on it
at least five years in periods of not
less than six months each; he must
have at least 10, 20, 80, 40 and so per
cent of the land cultivated and main

After Soda Men.

HILO, Aug. 2S.-Strenuous meas
ures will be taken with the soda works
in this city, unless steps to make rad
ical changes in the local soft drinks
have been effected within the next
thirty days, according to a statement
made by Pure Food Commissioner
Blanchard just before leaving here on
the Mauna Kea last Friday. He
stated that the soda water manufact
ured here was bad, in that bad color
ing materials were used and that
saccharin was used for sweetening in
stead Of sugar. The use of the latter
in foodstuffs of all kinds has been
especially forbidden in this Territory,
In Speaking of the matter Blanch,
ard stated that there was no reason
that soda water of just as good quality
as could be produced anywhere should
not be manufactured here, and that
while at the present time considerable
soda water from Honolulu was being
sent here, If the local brands should
be brought up to standard, they should
completely control the local market.
He stated that there was no one place
here that was bad, but that all were
in sad need of improvement.
New Motor Cars.
HILO, Aug. 2S.-The Matson steam
er Wilhelmina, which is due here next
week, will bring the Hilo Railroad
Company the first o. its new gasoline

cisco, at the crossways of most trans
Pacific steamship lines. There are
eight inhabited and number of unin-
hahited islands. Their combined
area is about 64OO square miles, or a
little more than 100000 acres; they
are little larger than Connecticut
and Rhode Island together. Their
population is nearly 100000, of many
nationaiities, the dominating influence
being American. They lie just within
the tropics, but, because of their
mountainous character, the prevailing
trade winds and a cool ocean current,
they have the temperature of some
what higher altitude. The tempera-
ture rises occasionally to 80 degrees
at the shore on the leeward sides of
the islands, and ranges from that to
below the freezing Loint at the tops
of the highest mountains. The rain
fall varies quite as much as the tenn
pereture, namely, from about ten
inches to more than three hundred
iIIches a year, according to locality;
hence, some of the lands require irri-
cation while others do not. The
islands are often spoken of as the
Paradise of the Pacific" because Of
their superior beauty and climate.
Private Lands.
Most of the land is under private
ownership and very little of that is
for sale, but much of it is leased for
agricultural and pastoral purposes at
rentals of from few cents to $40 per
acre per annum, according to location,
quality, water supply, etc.
Public Lands.
There are about 1,65O,OOO acres of
Public lands, but much of this is in
forest reserves and much is too high

DOCTORS GET It
FROM A DOCTOR

In his address to the local medical
association at the luncheon given in
his honor yesterday at the University
Club, DR.. j. N. Mccormack urged a
closer harmony among the members
of the profession, and broader spirit
Of cooperation, not only among them
selves, but also with all other
branches of the community life which
makes for the welfare of the people.
DR.. Mccormack is a fascinating
speaker and held closely the attention
of practically all of the members of
the local association for about an hour
and half. His talk was mostly I'M
technical, and was illumined through
out by bright bits of native wit and
humorous "reminiscences, for the dis
tinguished visitor is of Irish extrac-
ton, and bears quite prominently in
his speech and manner the manner
isms of the race.
DR.. Mccormack severely criticised
the shortcomings of his profession, the
greatest of which he concluded prob.
ably arises from the professional jeal.
ousy and antagonism which has here
tofore maintained to a very consider
able extent. He preached emphati-
cally the advantages of the closest
kind of cooperation among doctors
even to the practice now not unusual
of dozen or more practitioners hav-
ing offices together with a common
waitingroom in charge of a competent
nurse. The advantages of such har-
monious work, he maintained, was not
alone on the doctors part, but the
public benefited through the develop
ment of better doctors. A doctor who
does not constantly study and read,
the speaker declared, becomes unfit
to practice in the course of four or
five years at most, and no more ef-
ficient way can be found of keeping
up to date than by working together
with others engaged in the same line
of work.
The medical profession, according to
DR., Mccormack, should be the leading
center of influence in any community,
even equaling in it's benefcent power,
if carried out to its logical conclusion,
the power Of the church in shaping the
affairs of men. Not only should the
doctors work and study constantly to-
gether, but they should seek frequent
conferences with all other profess
sional workers-the legal fraternity,
social and religious workers, and, in
fact, all branches of human activity
which tends to raise the standard of
living and the advancement of intel
ligence among the people.
The biggest and hardest thing, Dr.
Mccormack declared, is 10 bring the
people to a position of full confidence
in the physicians, and TO be qualified
to hold that confidence.
The speaker stated that the Ideas
he advanced were being carried out In
one form or another IN many places,
and that the new gospel of medicine rs

FULL REPORT OF THE SENATE
COMMITTEE CRITICIZING PRESIDENT
TAFT'S ARBITRATION TREATIES

The following is The full text of the
Senate Committees report adverse to
the arbitration treaties, which caused
failure to ratify them in the session
just closed:
The Committee on Foreign Relations
has reported to the Senate, with GER
tain amendments, two treaties-one
with Great Britain and one with France
for the general arbitration of diff.
ferences which may arise between
those countries and the United States,
and have recommended that the treat
les, thus amended, be ratified by the
Senate. In accordance with the i'll
structions of the Senate the commit.
tee now submits it's reports explaining
the provisions of the treaties and the
purpose and necessity of the amend
'ments proposed. In order to under
stand thoroughly the nature of these
treaties it is necessary to review
briefly what has already been ac-
complished in the same direction and
to make clear the character of the
existing treaties on this subject which
are to be superseded, and to point out
the differences between the latter and
those now before the Senate.
Former Proposed Treaties.
In 1905 Mr.. Hay, then Secretary of
State, negotiated with Great Britain
and certain other powers general arbi-
tration treaties, which were submitted
to the Senate by Preside ut RoorNvelt
for it's advice and consent These
treaties provided for the submission
of arbitration of practically all ques.
tions which did not affect the vital
interests, the independence, or the
honor of the two contracting states
of third parties" Under these treaties
the special agreement, which must be
entered into in each particular case
for the purpose of defining the ques-
lions and the powers of the arbitrators
in that case, was to be made by the
Executive without reference to the
Senate. BY vote of more than to l
the Senate amended these treaties so
as to secure the submission of all sucn
special agreements to the Senate for
its advice and consent. The treaties
thus amended were not presented by
the administration to the other con-
tracing powers and never became
operative. In 1908 Mr.. Root, then Sec
rotary of State, negotiated similar
treaties with various powers in which

consent to all special agreements made

NORTH GERMAN LLOYD HAS A
REMARKABLE BOY STOWAWAY

NEW YORK, August 19.-Samuel
Nassenfeld of Przmysel Austria, is a
bright boy of fourteen. His father is
an honest hotel keeper, who makes
large, though legitimate, profits out Of
the travellers who stay at his tavern,
but he has much to learn from his son
Samuel.
Samuel beat the North German
Lloyd Line out of cabin transporta-
ton from Bremen to this country,
and that in itself puts him in a class
by himself. The trick has never been
done before by a fourteen-year-old
boy.
Nothing quite like Samuel has ever
come to Ellis Island He came over
in the first cabin of the Kaiser Will
helm II from Bremen. The immigra-
ton officials do not look upon the
young Austrian as precocious, and
shrewd is hardly the word, "A wise
lad with nerve" is the way one OF
the inspectors put it.
Samuel went to school when he was
five. His progress was rapid, and,
leaving his classmates behind, he was
put through the gymnasium, being
graduated when he was thirteen. His
wisdom was too much for the elder
Nassenfeld, so he sent Samuel ID
Hamburg as an apprentice 10 a paper
manufacturer. The lad worked inr
awhile amid the pulp pots, but e.
woaried him. He said little, saved MS
money aud bidod his time, nursing

preferred to embark from Bremen,
where he was not known. He jour.
neyed to this port, and, dressed in a
well-ftting blue serge suit, sought the
docks. He rather liked the looks of
the Kaiser Wilhelm II and selected
her as the vessel for his trip to
America.
He thought Of joining the steerage
passengers as they filed aboard and
hiding somewhere in the hold. This
plan, however would require a ticket
costing $35, the entire amount in the
pockets of the wel-htting blue serge
suit No this would never do. Pres
emily he saw that the saloon passen-
gers were not required to show tick
etc as they walked aboard, and this
appealed to him. He joined the
throng and took a seat in the smok-
ing room, but fearing discovery left
it and paraded the stateroom alleys.
Il occurred TO him that stateroom
was a good place for secretion, and
as the journey was TO be for seven
days he selected one of the best on
the liner Instinct told him that this
would lead TO discovery, so he
roamed about the alleys until his eve
