OMAU TRACT
GETS A PARK

One Of t h e most important
things Land Commissioner J. D.
Tucker did on his recent trip to
Kauai was to confer with w. D.
McBryde, the leading homestead
Ing spirit of Kauai, as to the advis-
ability of setting aside lot 23 in
: he Omau homestead tract for
public park purposes. The lot lies
as nearly in the center of the tract
as possible, is almost level and
contains GA acres. Mr.. Tucker
was favorable to the project and
since his return to Honolulu has
informed Mr.. McBryde, that upon
the return of Governor Frear, the
necessary proclamation will b e
signed.
The owners of the Omau lots
are getting them into cane as
rapidly as possible. and the Nc
Bryde Plantation is carrying out
building scheme which calls for
twenty-five new houses, much of
the lumber being already on the
ground. A movement is we'll under
way to have water turned into the
home of each homesteader as soon
as his home is ready for occupa-
ton.

Kauai Now TO Get
It's Belt Railroad

An unconfrmed rumor is rife to
the effect that the much talked of
of belt railroad for Kauai is about
to assume actual shape. Those
said to be behind the affair are
men who do things" and the
early naturalization of h e r
scheme is probably due to the de-
finite location of the Port of Entry
at Nawiliwili. 1t is thought that
connecting the railroad lines OF
the various plantation would pro-
badly be the course pursued b y
the promoters, though not enough
has yet been learned to prophesy
to any degree of certainty.

uHuE TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY. JUNE IS, 1912
SPECIAL COURT
IS PROBABLE

The delay in appointing a sue
cessor to Hon. Jacob Hardy, Cir
cult Judge of the 5th. circuit, may
entail the necessity of calling a
special session, as the July term
is so near to hand that a question
has arisen as to whether or not it
is too late to prepare for the July
term. The largest number of cases
are to be disposed Of at the next
term in the history of the court
since annexation, and the main
tenance of such large number of
prisoners until the fall term would
mean a great expense to the county
Hence the suggestion of special
session in case proper time has
elasped for preparations for the
coming term.

Waimea is Facing
Serious Beef Famine

The scarcity of b G e { cattle,
according to we'll founded rumor,
will be more keenly felt over the
recent setting aside of the new
forest reservation. The forest forms
a grazing ground for large portion
of the present meat supply for the
Waimea district, and the setting
aside of this land asa reserve
means that a Ii cattle must be
driven out, aud to the slaughter
pen. Beef is so high now that
those who are familiar with condi-
tons entertain pessimistic views
as to the future, one cattle man
saving that the worst is yet to
come"
