HONOLULU FURNISHED
MODEL RESOLUTION

Hawaii has again distinguished her
self and this time it is another com
pliment for the activity she has taken
in advocacy of the peace and arbitra
ton movement.
The Lake Mohonk Conference on In
ternational Arbitration has compli-
mented the Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce for its resolution in behalf of
peace, stating that it was the model
resolution Of all those which has come
to it's attention.
Secretary II. G. Phillips of the con-
ference, under date of July 20, says in
a letter to the chamber:
Since we began our attempt to in
terest business organizations in the ar
bitration movement, we have been
looking for a model resolution passed
on the subject by business organiza-
ton. OF the several hundred we have
received, the one adopted by your
chamber on June 10 is far the nearest
TO model. Accept our very best
thanks for the action"

This experience convinced me that in

strong and durable material which could
be used in construction of floating
property to advantage TO a larger ex-
tent than at present. / have two yes
sells now in commission with reinforced
eOncreted bottoms. They can pound
rocks until the seas sweep everything
above the waterline, yet their bottoms
will be all right. 1t is well-known
fact that when ship is stranded it is
not often that we fear damage to the
upper part of the ships hull, but the
, crumping up and piercing of her bot
tom. Some years ago the writer super
intended the repairs of a steamer of
1000 tons capacity. Reinforced concrete
was in her in such shape that she IS
running today, and when she goes into
the scrap heap it will not be from
weakness of her bottom.
We have had for a long time under
consideration the construction of a YES
sci whose hull would be entirely of re.
inforced concrete. Stranding and the
teredo would have no terrors for us
then. The question of weights, thick
ness of material and best type of re-
enforcement are well worth the earnest
attentiongof the marine architect and

Asks Renewal.

Application was also made by the
mill company for renewal for fifteen
years of a government lease for land
at Honokawai, which will expire April
/, 1912. The lease covers 450 acres of
cane land and $500 acres of pasture,
forest and waste lands The rental is
$3.50 per annum for the cane land and
81 per acre per year for the balance
of the area up to the forest reserve
line. This application was referred to
the government land agent at Maui for
a report.
In the course of the discussion, r. II.
Trent, who was in the chair, stated that
the advertisement for the irst-named
lease must be placed in a newspaper
on the island OF Maui. He stated that
hereafter all advertisements regarding
land must be published in newspapers
published on the islands where the land
is situated.
Secretary Brown suggested that the
advertisement be made reasonably con-
spicuous so that nobody could say they
did not see it. He remarked that
case like that occurred once before.

The chairman added that where it is
proposed to exchange lands for other
lands for school purposes the board
ought to have before 1t recommends
tions from the department of public
instruction as to whether it wanted the
lands. 1--WE can only exchange for d.
rect public purposes, said he.
On the motion of Commissioner Kin
ney, the matter was referred to A. w.
Carter, member of the board who is
now on Hawaii. He is to ascertain
from the Governor what rights, equi-
table or otherwise, the Pioneer Mill
company has in the lands claimed by
the Territory and what authority the
government has to release its claims
against the lands to the parties now
occupying the same. Mr.. Carter is to
make such further inquiry as he sees
ct as to the matters involved in the
company s. application and is to report
to the board.

Lahaina Remnants.

Should Respect Rights.
There was an animated discussion on
this matter. during the course of which
reference was made to the fact that
some of the property mentioned in the
proposed exchange is now used by PEG,
ple in whose families it has been for
fifty years, but that owing to some flaw
the government could legally claim it.
Commissioner William A. Kinney
said that where land had been held In
bona ide way for fifty years, whether
by individuals or corporations, he
thought it would be immoral to make
claim that the government could take
it because there was flaw in the le-
gal title. The way to settle such a
matter was by legislative enactment.
Manager Weinzheimer said he had
! spoken about the matter to Governor
Frear before the last legislature met,
aud had suggested the same thing. The
Governor told him the matter would be
settled in equity after the legislature
was over.
Commissioner Trent: "I don't think
the settlement of such a question comes
before us at all. -

Popular Payette Young Lady WEEDS.
Wednesday of this week at high
noon at the home of her sister, Mrs.
c. w. Geisler, occurred the marriage
of Miss Margaret Trevey and Mr..
Samuel D. Riggs of Emmett, the
Rev. Powell of the Methodist church
of Caldwell, officiating. The we'd
ding was a quiet home affair, none
but the relatives and very near
friends of the contracting parties
being present.
The bride was gowned in a hand
some imported point de spirit lace
creation and the groom wore the
conventional black. After the sim
pie but impressive ceremony a de-
Iightful wedding luncheon was SER
we'd and at 1850 p. m. Mr.. and
Mrs. Riggs left on the Payette VAL
ley Railroad for Emmett where they
will make their future home.
The bride is too we'll known in
Payette for comment. For the past
ten years with the exception of
about four, during which time she
held a responsible position in the
court recorders office, she has made
her home with Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Geisler. She is an accomplished
young lady of pleasing personality
and her friends in Payette who are
legion, will wish for her the best
of all there is in life.
The groom is not so we'll known
in Payette but from short acquain-
lance has made a fine impression
upon Payette people who know him
He holds a responsible position in
