GRAFTON the testimony of the experts,
while the attorneys for the respond
ents profess to believe that the evi-
dence of their star experts will sway
the minds of the jurymen to very
considerable degree.
The case now on trial is only the
first of seven that are to be heard
AS there is the possibility of appeal in
each of the cases, it may be many
months before the question at issue
as to how much the government
should pay for a site for the federal
building, is settled finally Fears are
expressed that the appropriation may
lapse before a final settlement IS
reached and that Honolulu may get
no federal building at ALL in case an
economically-mind Congress should
refuse to renew the appropriation

J. p. Cooke, president of the McBryde
Sugar Company, at the annual stock.
holders meeting held this morning,
the McBryde plantation is in most ex-
cellent condition in almost every way
and the outlook is most promising for

low, McBryde will this year pay 81
per share in dividends.

There is every appearance that
the Kahuku secondary industrial
school will be a great success. In
spector Gibson feels very enthusias-
tic and sanguine aLoat the PROPOSE
ton and, judging from the way BOYS
and their parents arc asking for parti-
culars, and the manner in which boys
of eighteen or so beg 10 be given
a chance, success is assured.
At the present time there are on
the waiting list, more than the fifty
boys necessary to start the school
The best of these lads will be select
ed, and those who have good recon-
mendations from their former teach
ers will get the preference.
Superintendent Pope and Inspector
Gibson are looking around for a suit
able man to appoint as principal OF
the Kahuku agricultural school. One
man has been suggested, who is said
to be just the person for the position,
He has had training on farm, and is
considered to be a splendid teacher
also. The matter has not been set
tied yet, and will probably not be till
the school commissioners meet in
June next.
Boys keep dropping in every day to

VERY ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS
FOR NEW AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL

see Mr.. Gibson, and he is only too
pleased to interview the lads. The
inspector finds that the youths are
all anxious to learn some trade tina
will give them a chance N life. Most
of them had to leave school before
they attained any learning that
would suit them for any occupation
above that of a laborer.
Mr.. Gibson thinks that boys who
are trained in practical field work
at the Kahuku school will. after the!
graduate, be able to attend the pro
posed course in sugar raising at the
College of Hawaii. The young men
will then have had real experience
in the cane fields, and will be able to
finish up with a course in soil chem
istry and other courses in sugar
growing.
If the Kahuku school turns out tC
be a success and, in most peoples
minds there is no doubt of that
other secondary Industrial schools
will be established on plantations
The plantation agents are willing tc
help out, and the Kahuku people are
ready to start on the necessary
buildings as soon as the enrolment
of students is finished.

the superintendent.
The planters are taking more in
telligent and broadminded view of the
matter, with the result that we, don't
have the trouble upon the docks With
which we used to meet.
"They are cutting down their infect
ed plants voluntarily and are taking
measures to see that the fly does not
spread any more. Their fields look
better and, as a result of their gradual
adoption of scientific methods of agri-
culture, the product is much improved,
The more intellectual planters are
gradually instructing their stubborn
and bigoted brethren, with the result
that it won't be long before the in
spection and tagging of the bananas
will be merely matter of form"

However, it is just a small slice that
is useless for any purpose.
At the meeting of the Harbor Com
missioners this afternoon the whole
matter was brought up, and the chair
man reported the result of his search
after titles to the land. There is one
question that has to be settled yet,
and that is whether or no riparian
rights ever belonged to the Aliens or
Robinsons. This means that con-
demnation proceedings will have 10
be taken in order to obtain the land
needed for wharves.
