MAY SUBDIvIOE
PARKER RANCH
Expiration of Government Leases
May Reduce Its Land
by Half.

II is probable that by the middle of
next year the great Parker ranch, the
mammoth cattle estate on the Island Of
Hawaii around which many of the an
nails of Hawaii cluster, will be subdi-
vided owing TO the expiration of leases
md that its present size may even be
reduced by half. 1t is expected that the
ranch will lose most, if not all, of its
naulta pasture lands.
Leases held by the ranch on a large
mount of government land expire and
these are expected soon to occupy a
good deal of attention on the part of
the territorial land office. The subse-
quent disposal of the lands is still In
doubt, as the press of other business has
not vet permitted consideration of 1t.
"The government Will give prece-
dence to homesteaders on those lands,
said Governor Frear, yesterday, if
there are any applications for home
steading put in. 1t may be leased again
to the ranch, but with the clause per
hitting its withdrawal at any time for
homesteading or for use in public ser
vice. The present lease is an old one
and does not contain that clause. The
expiration of the leases, however, is too
far ahead to warrant the government
taking up consideration of them at tins
time.D

ONOMEA TO CUT
GENEROUS MELON

Preparations are being made by the
Onomea Sugar Company and also, it is
currently reported, by c. Brewer Co.,
Ltd, to cut couple of melons, SO
far as the latter company is concerned,
the melon will be in the shape of a
good.sized dividend upon its capital
stock, but with the sugar company, for
which Brewer & Co., Ltd, are the
agents, there will probably be spe-
cial issue of stock in the shape of a
dividend amounting to fifty per cent of
the present capital stock of the com
pany.
The directors of the sugar company
will meet on Thursday morning 10 reg
lister the final decision in the matter
1t is proposed TO increase the capital
stock from $l,0O0,0O0 ms at present to
~ 100000. The new stock issue will
be distributed in the ratio of half n

WIDOW WINS IN
FIGHT FOR DOVER

Mrs. Maria X. Ena, widow of the
late John Ena, was awarded her dow
er rights in the estate yesterday by
Judge Cooper in the circuit court, by
which she is granted $37 900, payable
$4,000 at once, and $4,000 per year here.
after until the total is paid, with seven
per cent interest on all deferred pay
ments.
After five years of legal considera.
ton by the court final decision was
given yesterday by Judge Henry E.
Cooper in the circuit lourt in the fight
for her dover rights by Mrs. Ena,
widow of John Ena, former president
of the Inter-Isiand Steam Navigation
Company, and one of the prominent
men In the life of the country through
times of the monarchy, provisional
government, republic and as part of
the United States.
According to the will of Mr.. Ena,
who died in Los Angeles on December
IL, 1906, his widow was to share with
their seven children in the estate,
which was appraised at about SlSS, 900.
But this would have given her much
less than her dover rights, especially
as there were a number of debts due
ny the estate.
On May "a, 1907, Mrs. Ena demand
ed her dover rights before the court
and on December 5, the case was filed
IN court against the Hawaiian Trust
Company and Rev. Father Valentin, as
trustees under the will. The decision
given yesterday is the result of this
action and clears the atmosphere in
solar as this estate is concerned
Mrs. Ena is now a resident of Pasa-
dena, California, and she was repre-
sented in court yesterday by Attorney
c. f. Peterson, while the trustees were
represented by Mr.. Marx, of Kinney,
Prosser, Anderson & Marx.
Attorney Peterson made the plead
ing before Judge Cooper that his client
had been waiting long time for the
decision and her rights of dover and
he wanted the decision entered now.
Judge Cooper agreed to this and an
nounced the decision from the bench.
Mr.. Marx asked for time to determine
the method of payment, and this was
granted, but the main point is that
Mrs. Ena wins her case for dover and
instead of 5000 year, as under the
will, she will receive $4,000 year for
at least six years to come, besides quite
sum in interest, and $4,000 cash.

ALL HANDS TO Man
THE PUMPS! THE CRY
PeriIs Of the Sea as Related by
the Crew of the Catboat
Spanking Sue.
mail Special to The Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to The Advertiser)
HILO, August 26.-The tale has just
come to light how number of Hilo' g
most promising citizens narrowly es-
capped a watery grave while engaged in
sailing on the deep blue sea. Along
the Waiakea waterfront the yarn is
told as follows;
Wharf Clerk Hayden built him
catboat, or rather rebuilt an old boat,
which he had hauled up on Cocoanut
Island for the purpose of painting her
bottom. When the boat was hauled
back into the sea, the plug in her bot
tom was placed back from the outside.
This is the cruX of the story.
1t appears that Hayden lent his
craft. whose name is the Spanking
Sue, to a party of amateur mariners,
staying at home himself, wherein he
was wise. Conductor Renfrew acted
as skipper, assisted by Frank WIKI
ander, j. G. Stone, Alexander Swanson
and a Hawaiian boy, and at evening
they set sail for the fishing banks be-
yond the breakwater, where they in
tended to spend the night fishing.
On arriving at the proper spot, they
let go the anchor. 1T appears that a
knot had been tied in the anchor rope
at the fve-fathom mark, but this was
not noticed, and as consequence,
when the anchor was let 90 in about
ten fathom, it failed to connect with
the bottom, the rope jamming in the
hole through which the rope passed
Consequently it was suddenly discover
ed that the boat had drifted dangerous
ly to the rockbound coast near Keau-
kaha.
Instantly there was great connection.
Orders were given, all hands Were
summoned, and the sail was hOisted.
In the confusion some one stepped on
the plug, which, being inserted from
the outside, as above stated, slid from
its hole and went sailing on its own.
Instantly water spurted into the unfo--
tunate vessel. Captain Renfrew, with
great presence of mind and self-saeri-
fee, placed bag of tobacco in the
hole This effected only temporary re-
lief, however, and in spite of all efforts
the water continued to flood the boat.
All haste was made to sail back, and
at the same time those of the crew
who were not engaged in actual navi.
cation, were placed to work at baling
the boat Seasickness became rife and
added to the horrors of the journey,
which was ended only Off the Makaoku
Life Saving Station, which was recent,
~ established for the aid and comfort
of shipwrecked mariners who infest
these waters.
