GOVERNMENT SHY
OF LOTS TO SELL

At the meeting of the harbor COM
missioners that was held yesterday
afternoon, communication was re-
ceived from the Governor with refer
ence to the selling Of government lots
in order to obtain funds to acquire
waterfront blocks. The Governor
stated that there were difficulties in
regard to carrying out the transac-
tions, and lack of property would be
one of them.
1T is easy to suggest the sale Of
these lots, but difficult to find the
property which can be sold. With
every sale of property, the amount Of
lots on hand is diminished. There
are very few lots for sale, and many
of these are needed for government
purposes" wrote the Governor.
The Governor in a second communi-
cation said that, as far as the pro-
posed improvements to the water
front were concerned, a definite plan
should be worked out
A petition from the people of Lihue
was read to the board. The document
stated that the wharf at Nawiliwili is
too narrow and that, with the single
track now in use, there is hardly room
for anything else to move along the
wharf. The freight landed at Nawili-
will has increased three hundred per
cent. during the last year or so, and
broader wharf is needed. The com
nissioners will do something in the
matter as soon as the Waimea wharf
is repaired.

Health Party
In Hamakua

No word has been received from
the health party that left for Hawaii
last Tuesday. A wireless was rather
expected from DR.. Pratt, president of
the board of health, but no word has
so far reached Honolulu. The first
news by mail is expected to arrive on
Saturday morning.
DIR. Mccoy, who had lot of expert
ence in San Francisco on plague work,
is taking up the big campaign against
rats on Hawaii. All the plantation
agents have agreed to stand in and
help in every way, and the Hamakua
coast will be cleaned of rodents, If it
is possible TO do SO.
The laboratory at Hilo Is being en-
larged, and much more work will be
done there than in the past. Rats,
mice and mongoose will be examined
there and, as the last named rodent is
said to be carrying plague germs,
there will be a very active crusade
against this versatile pest started.

NEW JUDICIARY
BUILDING STEEL

Most of the steel work for the Judi
ciary building is now in Honolulu and
a quantity of it is on the ground. The
balance is expected to be ready with
in short time from now.
The derricks for raising and deposit
ing the iron work are being put in
place, and in a few days the work OF
elevating the huge giTders and putting
them in place will be begun.
The scheme is to raise the iron GRID
ers and pillars and get them into the
building through the open spaces
where the roof used to be
The tentative plans for adding to
the beauty of the building are well un-
der way. The "sunken" garden ef-
feet Is well thought of by those who
have examined the plans, that are to
be seen in the superintendent Of pub
lie works office. The scheme is to
have a sunken square in front of the
building, and terraces leading to King
street.
In a way, lowering of the square
will give the building a better look,
while another point to be gained is
that all drainage will run down TO
Queen street without trouble.

ALB. WATERHOUSE

Governor Frear this morning reap
pointed Albert Waterhouse as a COM
missioner of the Board of Agriculture
Waterhouse has served for some time
on the board.
The governor yesterday appointed
w. M. Giffard as chairman of the
Board of Agriculture, which is an
honorary position, as regards salary.
Mr.. Giffard will preside for the first
time at the meeting of the board that
is to be held on Monday next.
1t is probable that the future meet
ings of the board will be either held
downtown or else out at the head
quarters of the forestry department.
In the past, when the offices OF land
commissioner and chairman Of the
Board of Agriculture we're held by
one man, the meetings Wero held az

Spokane Is working effectually to
bring spirit of harmony among all
of the people of the great Inland EN-
pire. Like some other place that might
be mentioned, 1t seems that various
neighboring towns within radius of
500 miles of the northwestern metro

Spokane was absolutely selfish and
wanted to hog all the material pres
perity and glory in sight, NoNw the
Spokane business men, through their
chamber of commerce, is getting sys-
tematically to work to break down

ing success has been attained. Every
week or so a luncheon is given in
honor of the business men of one or
other of the neighboring towns, and
at these gatherings the problems of
each particular place is taken up Sc
riously and threshed out in thorough
manner. Then when a remedy is de-
cided upon, Spokane gets busy, and,
with its shoulder to the wheel, most
generally something moves. In this
way Spokane has been able to hep
secure better shipping facilities in a
number of instances, and secure vari-
Gus advantages for her smaller neigh
bors that would have been very diff
cult without this aid. The result
seems to be that the finland Empire"

Three Very
Close Calls

L. L. McCandless, who went down
the line to his Makua place ye5terdsy
afternoon, tells of no less than three
narrow escapes of Japanese from death
on the rail, which came under his OBJ.
servation going and returning.
On the outward trip, when the train
was beyond Eva plantation it was sb-
ruptly stopped, and the passengers as
certained the cause to have been a
twoyear-old Japanese baby squatting
between the metals. When the whit.
tie shrieked a warning the child's
mother rushed out to the track and
snatched her babe Off The engine was
within a couple of carlengths of the
little tot when the train was brought
to a standstill.
Next, in the vicinity of Gilbert's sta
ton, a Japanese crossing the track in
front of the train stumbled and fell
upon the track. Again the train was
brought up with a quick jamb-on of
the air, in none too fast time for the
life of one brown brother.
Third and last, another thrilling es'
cape occurred near Waipahu this
morning. A Japanese woman happened
suddenly in front of the up train. The
engineer stopped the train barely in
time to prevent making mincemeat
of the woman. There was scarcely
more than three feet to spare between
the needless woman and a horrible
death.

BRECKONS FIRES
SHOT TO KILL

II motion made this morning by
United States District Attorney R. w.
Breckons. in the Manuka site case IS
granted by Juoge Doe when the Fed
eral court reconvenes tomorrow morn
ing, virtually all the expert testimony
hitherto introduced by the respond
ents will be knocked out and the de-
tense will be obliged to move for per-
mission to reopen its case. Incident
ally, expert testimony will have re-
ceived a severe blow in the eyes of
the jury, no matter whether Breck-
ons' motion is granted or not
Breckons moved this morning, after
the attorneys for the Cummins inter-
ests had closed their case, that all Of
the testimony given by r. r. Reid
ford, the first and most important real
estate expert placed on the witness
stand by the respondent, be stricken
from the record on the ground that it
was based on incorrect declarations
and fallacious reasoning.
Breckons pointed out, for instance,
that Mr.. Reidford based his valuation
of $4,000 on supposed rental values
and expense which were proved by
other witnesses for the respondent 10
be erroneous. For instance, Mr.. Reid
ford had stated that in arriving at his
valuation of the property to be con
demned, he had taken the expense OF
operating the Mcintyre building as
being $4,000 a year, whereas it had
been proved that the average expense
for nine years was $1,000.
Mr.. Reidford also stated that the
rental of the Jordan building is $4OC
per month, whereas it had been
proved that the rental was but $3.50
Moreover, Mr.. Reidford had been mis-
taken as to the amount of floor space
in the Jordan building. Yet he had
based his valuation of the Cummins
property partly on these erroneous
figures
Breckons' motion apparently took
the defense entirely by surprise and
precipitated the hottest argument
that has yet marked the famous trial
Attorney Olson botly combatted the
motion, and he and Breckons argued
the point at great length. Breckous
quoted opinions in support of his mo
ton, which he based on point Of
law. He neld that whe"e a valuo
ton is arrived at through faulty reas
oning or from supposed declarations
which are not true statements Of fact
his entire statements must not bC
considered by the jury.
