A CONTRADICTION
IS CONTRADICTEO

Notwithstanding the Chinese consul
generals denial in the morning paper
of the report published in the Star
last Saturday to the effect that the re
cent edict allowing Chinese to discard
their queues had been withdrawn dur
ing the past, most well informed local
Chinese Teiterate the statement that
the first report is correct.
The president or the United Chinese
Society states that it is true that the
edict has been withdrawn and that the
reasons therefor are as stated in Sat
days report. While the consul-gen-
eral undoubtedly is fully conyersant
with the matter, still, as a govern
ment employee, it would not be good
policy for him to acknowledge the
truth of the report, as that would
mean to acknowledge the imperial OPP
position to reform and a recognition
CT the fact that rebellion is rife in the
empire, say Chinese interviewed on
the subject.

Big Claims Made For
Low Assessed Lands

Governor Frear remarked this morn
ing that the Bishop street extension
would be discussed at a conference
this afternoon.
There is a great difference" the
Governor said, between the assessed
value of some of the land to be ac-
quired, and the claim now made for
it. In one instance, land is assessed
at 5000, and yet a claim for $4,000
has been made for it. On the average
the claims are about four times as
much as the assessed value"
At the conference this afternoon,
a general discussion of the matter viii
be held, and a rough estimate Of what
the parts of the street could be sold
for to Offset the claims will be made.
This afternoon, the Oahu tunnel
scheme will also be discussed, and
the Governor thinks that it is posi-
bic for some decision to be come to.
In talking of the trip made by himself
and a party, yesterday, the chief eX-
eCutive said that the watershed visit
ed is a beautiful place, and that the

School Congestion Being
Relieved In Rapid Order

I'VE received a large consignment
of seats by the Sierra" said superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction Pope,
this morning. These seats we're
cabled for, and they are intended to
help out at the different schools,
where seating accommodation is short.
As soon as ! learned that the sum
of $4,000 was available for the pur-
pose Of providing furniture for the
schools, l cabled for a shipment of
seats. More will be coming along on
the next steamer from the Coast, and
before long there should be plenty Of
seats for all the schools"
According to Superintendent Pope,
the congested state of the schools is
being relieved rapidly and soon all
will be normal again. The schools will
also be provided with many new books
for their libraries, and, from time to
time, shipments will be coming along
from the mainland
On Saturday next there will be a
meeting of all the supervising prin-
cipals of the schools of the Territory,

$375OO, which everybody knows was
done in time the Kaena Point rail
road section for $4,000; the Pioneer
Mill railroad at Lahaina for $40, 200 {;
the road from Laupahoehoe to Papaa-
loa, Hawaii. for $4,000; the road
from Papaaloa to Honohina for S40,-
900; the Nahiku homesteads road for
$4,000, and the Keanae trail on Maui
for $4,000.
The only loss I have had was on
the sewer outfall contract in Homo
lulu. That contract was taken from
me on account of it's not being finish
ed in time The city had been in
quarantine for three months owing 10
bubonic plague, depriving me of my
men. The government took it from
me to do by day work, but itself could
not even complete it, although expend-
ing $4,000 and employing two other
private firms.

my first division, which was three
miles long, but the county refused to
pay me my 25 per cent that had been
retained The work was finished any
way and the Kauai people did not
lose a cent, neither did my bondsmen,

this island. The Advertiser advocates
giving this belt road contract to a
firm that has had no experience in
road building although its bid is high

attempt to influence the commission

John II. Wilson wishes to demur to
the two reasons given by the Adver-
user. editorially why his bid for the
belt road contract now pending, al
though the lowest, should be rejected
in favor of the Lord-Young bid One
Of the reasons in question is in the
form of an insinuation that Wilson
would give trouble involving legal eX-
penses, and the other that the price
named in his bid, lowest of all, is
more than the county can stand.
The cost part" Wilson said this
morning. SHOULD have been determin-
ed before they called for bids, putting
contractors to the expense and trou-
bic of figuring.
Besides, consider the cost is not
unduly high for the nature of the
job. John Emmeluth had a contract
two years ago to build 5000 feet OF
the belt road for $15,24O-the Kahana
contract-and the extras were about
$500, making the total cost $15,74O.
That road was not oiled and not even
macadamized
his piece does not signify that
he rest, uf the belt road is going to
cost proportion. They are just
pi~ out the worst spots on the
road to do first

er day on Maui was for 10000 feet
and the price was $4,000, or prac-
,ically $4,000 mile, and that simply

Of course, the butter and eggs

minded body of citizens is full of
reasons.
1t appears that the demand for
butter has increased during the
last few days, probably on &C
count of the Thanksgiving holi-

The supply is more than equal
to the demand, but if it had not
happened; to be so, the price of
butter would have gone. up,
That is the reason the butter
and eggs board raised the price
of butter one cent yesterday, and
why the wholesalers and retail
ers blithely followed suit.
It doesn't seem much of a rea-
son when subjected to a critical
examination.
Just why the people should pay
more for butter when they want
to buy more of IT. does not seem
clear.
