Judge n. w. Holt Takes Stand on
Liquor Question

Eysry liquor case that has come
up before Judge Holt in the Circuit
Court Of Rockbridge has re-
eeived knockout, a regular solar
plexus. Some appeal cases have
been given greater punishment
than fixed by the lower courts.
The administration Of the law has
been unsparing, even when the
weaker sex is the culprit.
Two applications for license to
distil liouor have been dismissed.
The Allegany Inn at Goshen, by
reason of it's being summer resort,
applied through its manager, J. W.
Roland, but the application was de-
MED because he was not a quail
fed voter. The application of J. A.
Sensabaugh for license to distil
liquor at Engleman's on Kerr's
Greek, was denied for a similar
reason.
Miss Agnes Hartman, indicted
for selling liquor, was convicted
and her punishment fixed at fine
OF $75 and Imprisonment of sixty
DAYS In jail. She vas required to
give boLd Of $40 for good behavior
for twelve months.
W. T. Agnor, on appeal from con
viction in Mayor Shields court o
500 fine and 80 days imprisonmen
for selling liquor without license
was given the same sentence by tn
court, his time to be spent on tn
State roads. The time of his ser
vice was modified because Of phys
cal inability to work on the road
and he was given 80 days in Jail in
stead. He was further required {
give bond for good behavior 10
twelve months, failing in which hi
Imprisonment is to be four months
Charles ID. Jones, on appeal froT

Gabriel X. always said that the kew
was lost or had some other excuse
handy, so declare the eomplainants.
Then he did a strange and une'hical
thing. Taking for it the word of those
who clamor, Keawehaku parceled ont
all the credentia papers to his fellow
laborers in the ranks of the Crouch
faction. Thus Stephen Gurnpfer and
Harry Juen got most of the credent al
papers for the delegates from the
ninth of the fourth and proceeded to get
as many proxies signed over to them
selves as possibles. 1t is. said that each

He has been interested, he said, in

felt there would be possibilities in di-
yersified agriculture in small way. He
had long looked forward to a farm
home, and when this opportunity pre-.
sented itself it seemed a good one. His
attention was called to the efforts being
made to get settlement association

on the right-o purchase method.
There was one problem had been fin

| That was the residence clause. If IL
meant that the head of the family
would be compelled to remain on the
homestead, he would have been unable
to enter upon the land; if it meant that
! his wife and family, by taking up per
manent residence, could establish the
homesteader' claims then he decided Ia
assume the obligation. The attorney
general said the family residence would
be compliance with the spirit of the
law. His family was now on the home
stead and he would eventually also live
! there. He wanted to make it his future
home. He believed at first that co
operative plan of developing his forty
nine acres would do, but this did not
work out and he recently purchased a
team and wagons and other equipment
and is eultivating his lands himself
with hired labor.

He stated that he believed at first
he should have had double the number
of acres allotted to him, but owing to
intensive farming such as is found in
the pineapple districts, possibly after
all, his forty-nine acres were sufficient.
Two -thirds of his lot is arabic. There
is gulch which he will utilize for for
est trees. With careful management
and reasonably good fortune there
ought to be a good livelihood for him
in price, he believes he win be able to
find some other crop and make it pay.
In putting up his house he found
there were additional expenses owing to
lack of road transportation. Lumber
was $50 thousand feet in Kahului,
but the railroad company had made a
discount to all the homesteaders, max
ing it $25 g thousand. The railroad
rate to Paia was $l.25 and teamlng
from Paia to his homestead $40 thou
sand. The railroad people were exceed
ingly considerable to him in helping HIM
to get a start.

He made contract with the Haiku
Cannery Company for his pineapple
product for seven years. Two years
would be consumed In bringing the
first crop to maturity, and the contract
was really then for five years. He be-
lieved the contract to be a reasonable
one. It is a sliding scale of prices, de-
pending on the market for the canned
product, based on the demand. The
present price to him is $40 ton for de-
livery at the cannery:. If the price
goes down he is to receive less. If it
goes up he will receive more than $50.
He Believed in the feasibility of the
homestead plan. He said be recognized
there lad been few successes, but those
few successes show the possibilities.
Why Homesteaders Fail.
He said he attributed the failures to
the people themselves being unacquaint-
ed with farming and its difficulties
Farming needed trained men just as
other vocatioHs did II was particu-
larly needed in Hawaii which is new
field and in witch such work is expert
mental. He thought sinaI beginning
was being made.
A man could not be expected to do
here as in California, where there are
unlimited tracts ana means of transpor-
tation. The farmer here must have skill
and Intelligence and understand how to
finance the matter until it is self-sup-
porting and that may take four or five
years. He did not expect to have his
place on paying basis before five
years, although by good management
he might be able to do 50 in our.
No Cane for Him.
AS to demonstrating cane lands, he
did nut believe agriculturists such as
he would care to 60 in for that. He
would not care to on account of the
monotony of the crop growing, and be-
cause that type of agriculture did not
appeal to him. He believed a great
many whites believed as he did.
AS to Hawaiians demonstrating cane
lands, he said for those it might be
leasible. In the beginning it would be
discouraging. Many of the failures
that are on record have been easily pre-
dicted,
Helping Homesteaders.
Mr.. Ashford asked a number of ques-
tiSns. He asked if he found any oppo'
sition to. the settlement association
plan on the part of the territorial gov
eminent, and was tod there was none
whatever. As to the question of resi-
dence, and the opinion given by the
attorney.general, that was point II
which he was deeply interested, as OIL
it depended whether or not he could
take up a homestead. He was asked il
he thought an amendment carrying the
Canadian six-months residence would be-
of any effect to the homesteader. He
thought it would as il would enable
many to hold positions in the towns anc
keep up their incomes. AS to himself
this would be no help, owing to the
position he held.
