PUNCHBOWL TRACT

The Partition Question.

Matters in regard to the Punchbowl
tract are approaching the finish, and
although some OF the preference
rights will have to be decided, every
thing is well on the way to compile
ton
There is an unfortunate side how
ever, to the preference rights ques-
ton, and that is that, although many
of the present occupants of some lots
have resided there for twenty or more
years, they have never taken out their
papers or declared themselves as in
tending to become American citizens
The law says that preference rights
can only be given those people who
had declared their intention of becom-
ing, or who had become American
citizens at the time the act was passed
some years ago.
The Governor stated this morning
that in some cases there are six
preference rights in one block. The
lots are being divided up, and a num-
Der of new names for streets that
have been suggested by the Auwai-
Olimu Improvement Club may be
adopted, These names are stated
above.

LITTLE INTERVIEWS


ENTOMOLOGIST EHRHORN-Dur-
ing the month of January we inspect
ed seventy steamers from the other
islands.
L. l.. McCANDLESS-If the Oahu
Sugar Company will not put through
the Koolau tunnel for water, I don't
know but l may take up the matter
myself
CHEW YUEN-The price of turkeys
remains high, Notwithstanding that
the holidays are over. Forty-ive cents
per pound is what they are selling at
when obtained to order.
DIR. RAMUS-I cannot see that
there will be any risk from the small
pox case on the Siberia. The illness
was discovered at a comparatively
early stage, and the proper precau-
tions we're taken.
SAM HOP-The Chinese people gen
orally are becoming more and more in
terested in sports. Tomorrow's gath
ering at the Athletic Park will, in it's
way, be as remarkable a one as could
be found in any part of the world.

the Cleveland tourists in mind of Ha-
wall by periodically sending them lit
erature concerning Hawaii In this.

good advertisers for the Territory
P. MELIM-I don't care what the
Star says about the dumping of mail

steamers, | will do it just as often as
the occasion demands it. Some peo-
pie don't know registered packages
when they see them.
DIR. PRATT-AI the men who took
the examination yesterday were in
formed that they would get a fair deal
and no favor. The examiners do not
know whose papers they are passing
on, Every paper is marked with a

who knows the names to correspond

H. A. WEINLAND-The use of ba- !
lana leaves as wrapper for shipped |
bananas is inimical to clean culture. |
Fhe leaves which should otherwise be |
destroyed would be saved and would
breed pests. They are hard to fumi-
gate and I have no reason to believe

JOSEPH A. GILMAN see the
Rapid Transit Company states that
it would cost $4,000 mile to pave
its right of way with bitulithic. Btu
lithic itself costs $1,65 a square yard.
The additional cost depends entirely
upon what subconstruction they want
to put in, and, if they insist on solid
concrete base down to the bottom of
their ties, certainly the cost is going
to be increased In my opinion it il
not necessary to have such expensive
construction, because the construc-
ton upon crushed stone base used
on Fort street has proved sufficient.
understand the $4,000 mentioned is
on an estimate that the whole system
is to be double-tracked, which / don't
think the company really contem-
plates, at least for the near future.

Arsenic has been found as a normal
constituent in man and animals, and
now Drs. Jadin and Astrug, two
French biologists, show that it may be
derived from edible plants and fruits.
They examined thirty-nine vegetable
substances, and obtained arsenic from
all, the quantities ranging from 0.08

part per million in almonds and beans.
