is done, and the larvae have been
brought here, at least a years time
will have elapsed.
Two years ago it was demon
strated that cotton raising could be
successfully carried on in the islands,
and that, for the man of limited
means, it was good investment. A
profit ranging all the way from 5000
to $500 an acre could be made and
with a field of twenty acres it can
easily be figured what comfortable
income would be realized by the
grower.
There is plenty of cotton land
available; and land will grow cotton
that has not too much water on it,,
and most of the land not available
for sugar cane is good cotton land.
"At first large acreage was laid
out by prospective growers, but the
appearance of the boll-worms pre-

Cotton Growing
Can Be Made Big
Industry in Hawaii

Cotton raising will be an industry
second in Importance only to sugar
as soon as a parasite has been
brought here to kill the boll-worm
which at the present time has in
tested the cotton fields to such an
extent as to make raising of cotton
in the Hawaiian Islands impracti-
cable"
This statement was made this
morning by o. st. John Gilbert, presi-
dent of the Sandwich Islands Honey
Company, Ltd, who for the past two
years has made a study of the cotton
industry in Hawaii and has enlisted
the aid of specialists in an attempt
to find a parasite which will success
fully combat the boll-wurm.
I'VE have discovered the existence
of such a parasite, said Mr.. ST. John
Gilbert, but we have not yet located
it in its own home. BY the time this

vented successful harvest. The
worms spread so fast that you could
almost see them multiply, and practi-
cally all the fields have been aban-
doned.
81 made successful experiment on
small acreage on the Island of
Kauai and agricultural experts told
me that they had never seen so much
cotton to an acre before. But the
pest has spread so fast that there Is
nothing to do but await the parasite.
1T has been only recently that the
existence of this parasite was
learned, and at the present time men
are being sent all over the world to
find it.
1T will be a years time at least be-
fore it will be located and brought
here, and then there is the possibility
of the first batch of larvae dying"
Mr.. Gilbert continued.

The LAND OFFICE
NOT RESPONSIBLE

This department has nothing to
do with the appraising of homestead
lots" said Land Commissioner
Tucker this morning, and the howl
that has gone up over the matter is
directed the wrong way"
Act 1879, of the Territorial laws,
clearly defines the way in which
lands shall be valued. The amended
act reads as follows:
Section /, When private property
is required for a public use and 20
special provision is made for the ac.
QUESTION thereof, the proceeds, or so
much thereof as may be necessary,
derived from the sale of any public
land sold for other than homestead
may, with the Gfhrmance OF
the governor, be designated as re-
quired for the acquisition of such pri.
vate property, and shall thereupon
be deemed to be and is hereby appro-
priated for such purpose. Any unex.
pended part of such appropriation
may at any time or times be similarly
designated as no longer required for
such purpose, and thereupon the ap-
shall lapse as to such
part, which shall then be applied in
the same manner as proceeds of such
sales not so appropriated.
Provided, That the property so re-
quired shall be in the same county
or city and county as the property so
sold; and provided further that no
such property shall be sold for a sum
less than the value fixed by three dis
interested persons acting as apprais-
ers, nor purchased for a sum greater
than the value fixed by three disin-
terested appraisers, said appraisers
to be appointed by the governor of
the Territory of Hawaii"
There has been considerable COM
ment around town about the value
set on the Makiki homestead lots,
Ind a lot OF people think that
the price is far too high.

CIVIC SANITATION
MEETING MONDAY

On Monday the committee of the
Civic Sanitation campaign will meet
in the board of health office. The ex-
penditure report of the whole mos
quito campaign will then be submit
ted to the committee. AS reported
some days ago in the Star, the total
cost for five months amounts to $73,-
500. There may be one or two small
bills put in that will make the total
a trifle larger but, on good authority,
1t can be stated that the sum men
toned is the full cost, from Novem-
Der l, 1911 to March 81, 1912.
The work of inspection is still 60
ing on and thirty men all told, are
employed at present The cutters on
the business houses down town are
all in good shape and inspection Wis
its, at intervals of ten days or so,
are sufficient to keep things all right.
DR.. Mccoy said yesterday that it
surprised him to find how many rice
plantations there are within the city
limits. Every time a complaint comes
in about mosquito breeding places,
the doctor takes run out to inspect
the property. On one trip he motto
ed clump of bananas and, upon
passing through it, found a small field
of rice. There were many mosquito
larvae there, and the owner was pre-
vailed upon to introduce top minnows,
which soon cleared the water OF lar
vac. DR.. Mccoy has a great admira-
tion for the little fish, and he thinks
they have solved the problem of get
ting rid of mosquito larvae in rice
fields.

COAST WANTS
HAWAII ONIONS

Several letters have been received
ct the Territrial market offices from
Coast commission merchants asking
that the local market authorities
send more onions to help supply the
present demand on the Coast.
At the present time, according to
one of the letters, the market from
San Francisco to Los Angeles is bar
rem, and 1t will be some time before
any Imperial Valley or Texas onions
can be procured.
Storage onions are selling at 81 a
hundred and what onions have been
shipped from Hawaii are bringing
much higher prices.
Six commission men on the Coast
have written and are imploring the
local market authorities to send more
onions TO help alleviate the dearth
One and one-half tons of Bermuda
onions have been shipped from Ha-
wall so far and the market officials
here will send more as soon as the,

Metzger's plan is to swing the
wharve5 around more to the west, and
to have the switching yards, store
houses and other depot arrangements
some distance back toward the pres.
ent road that leads to the breakwater.
He submits several Alternative schemes
for wharves and tells the reason for
doing so.
The map is being considered by the
Governor, but at noon TODAY he could
not give an opinion on the matter, as
he had not had sufficient time to study
the map.

MOTOR BOAT
REGULATIONS
ARE IGNORED

tween twenty-six and sixty.five feet in
length, which places them in the Sec
cnd and third classes. The regulations
governing such boats are as follows:
They must carry white lights fore
and aft and colored side lights. They
must be equipped with whistle, bell
and horn, with life preseryers and
means for extinguishing gasoline. II
they are passenger boats or in any in
stance carry passengers, the operator
or engineer must be a licensed man.
The Japanese sampan men comply
with very few of these regulations,
having no knowledge of them and
when asked to produce the bell, whis-
tie, etc, usually bring forth the din
ner bell. The ships bell for these
boats must be at least eight inches
across the mouth. The inspectors are
very anxious to get these rules before
the owners of gasoline craft which en-

According to local inspectors in the
customs service, the regulations gov

sconced under a blacksmith shop on
Queen street. When found he was
sleeping on n pile of automobile
robes which he claims he found lying

TO FOLLOW UP
FALSE SWEARING

The federal grand jury made its
final report this morning and was
discharged with the thanks and coL-
gratulations of the judge. Five in.
dictments were returned but all were
placed on the secret file, as the per-
sons indicted were not in custody. 1t
is believed that one of the indictments
is in connection with the reported Sc
rious moral and hygienic laxitg at
the Kalihi receiving station. Some
Of the others, it is thought, include
accusation of violation of the Ed.
munds Act.
The grand jury, of which James w
Pratt was foreman, had but one rec
ommendation to make. In its report
it said:
"The only recommendation that we
desire to make is that the officers of
the department of justice continue to
prosecute in cases where they are
satisfied that perjury has been com
mitted. Our experience, we think,
iustifies the statement that in some
cases little attention is paid to the
sanctity Of an oath.
The prosecuting officers have during
the past terms of court brought sew
eral periuries to book, and United
States District Attorney Breckons has
made the statement that he intends
tc see that due regard for the sane
tity of the oath is inculcated in some
OF those who appear to regard 1t as
a Joke Several convictions have re-
suited as consequence of his acti-
witty along this line and there are
somo other cases awaiting trial.

There will be contests more or less
seri,ls in sixteen out of the twenty
nine precincts on this island, in the
