Homestead Lands
On Four Islands
Being Opened

There should be plenty of home
stead lots available in the near
future, as surveys of land at Twenty
Nine Miles, Olaa, Waianse, Oahu, and
other country districts are about com
pleted. The governor announced this
morning that the surveyor and land
commissioner had held a conference
with him regarding the various avail
able lots, and that within a short time
the lands will be advertised.
The field work in connection with
the land is finished, and maps are
now being prepared. The Twenty.
Nine Mile lots are suitable for sum

mer homes, and there is,a demand for
the land Many homesteaders are al
ready settled in the district, while
homes are being built in fairly rapid
fashion.
Among the lots on Oahu are those
at Waianae, where some fine blocks
of land, suitable for vegetable grow
ing, have been surveyed Then there
are the beach lots out near Koho
Head. These are very fine ones, and
it is anticipated there. will be a rush
for them. Back of the beach resi-
dence lots are some acres of alluvial
soil in the valley. 1t is considered
that this land will grow fruit and gar.

The Kapaa lands are in great de-
mand, there being only a couple of
blocks now unleased. Inquiries from
mainlanders are coming in all the
time. The men who have taken up
land at Kapaa appear to be very
pleased with their selections.
The extension of the Kahului rail
road for some miles beyond Paia is
considered to be the best possible
thing that could happen for the grow
ers of pineapples and produce in that
district. There is a fair-size area
of land available for homesteading
and already there is a demand for It.

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, d. c., November
23.-It is reasonably certain that
Walter F. Frear, whose term of office
as governor of Hawaii expired on
August Is, 1911, will be reappointed.
1t is believed the Secretary of the
Interior will recommend Governor
Frears reappointment, and that Dis
name will be sent in to Congress very
soon after the session oonvenes in
December.
The Secretary of the Interior has
received large number of petitions
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-12-06

larly with respect to the necessity of
some system of determining the seep-
age losses in irrigation bitches.
This afternoon the association will
receive and consider the report Of
the committee on warehouses for raw
sugar, consisting of John T. Moir, Il.
X. Bull, l.. Weinzheimer, b. d. Bald
win and ]. NJ Ross.
Next will be taken up the report
of the committee on labor-saving de-
vices. consisting of A. Gartley, W. J.
Dyer and VIM. G. Han.
In connection with this subject the
association will visit in body the
ironworks of Cation, Neir & Co, to
see the Wilson & Webster cane-loader.
This is an old invention of which the
association has acquired the rights
of manufacture with a view to fur
ther development of its good features.

.FREAR'S REAPPOINTMENT
PRACTICALLY A CINCH

and letters favorable to Frear, and
but one protest against his reap
pointment, that filed by the Delegate,
Mr.. Kalanianaole. This protest, in
the opinion of the officials of the lnte-
rior Department, represents the Dele
gates personal views in reference to
the Governor, and it is not believed it
reflects the general sentiment in
Hawaii.
Unless some very strong objection
is filed against the reappointment
doubtless it will be made early in tie
coming session, as stated.

DRUGGISTS FAVOR
GENERAL CLOSING
Would Be Unfair for Others
to Keep Open.

Druggists OF Anacostia will not be
asked TO close their stores on Sunday
until all other lines Of business have
agreed to the same regulations, II action
taken by the Brotherhood Of the Anacos-
tia NJ. E. Church, at a meeting last
night, is concurred in by the Brother
hood Of Emmanuel Episcopal Church OF
Anacostia-
After lengthy discussion of the petit
ton asking the druggists to close on
Sunday, the Brotherhood decided that
sentiment at the present time among
citizens is not in favor Of asking three
druggists to close when other places OF
business are kept open and are doing q
large business in the same articles.
The Brotherhood passed a resolution
authorizing its president to appoint a
committee Of three to cooperate with
the committee Of the Brotherhood of the
Episcopal Church in beginning a cam
paign for a general closing, but refused
to sign the petition now in circulation.
Rev. Samuel w. Grafiin. pastor Of the
Anacostia NJ. E. Church, said he had
interviewed citizens and found them
unanimous in their belief that the drug
gists should not be asked to close until
other business places agree to close.
