The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-10-10

1t is already being conceded that
Governor Woodrow Wilson is the
most popular candidate for presi-
dent that any party has nominated
since the early days of the republic,
not even excepting T. R. himself in
his palmy days. The people recog-
nize that he is the best prepared
man in the nation to solve the great
economic problems confronting the
country, and it is no surprise when
staunch republicans of national re-,
nown, and who are broad minded
enough to recognize the cause Of the
existing evils, endorse the democrat
ic platform and espouse the cause Of
Woodrow Wilson, the man.

Waterworks Show a Nice Profit.

Morris Gardner, chairman of the
city waterworks committee has CIV
en- us some interesting figures in re-
gard to what the city water plant is
doing. During the three months
from July 1st to October 1st, the
meter readings show that total Of
1,374,117 gallons of water were
used by consumers, the income from
which was $5O2.17, leaving a very
nice profit over the operating ex-
penses. New taps are being put in
right along which will add to the
city's revenue, while it is expected
that the operating expense will be
decreased.

right TO TAP
RUBBER TREES
A HARD PROBLEM


ScientiEts have asserted there are
six thousand acres OF trees on Manna

Of rubber, or chicle. OF some Kindred
giutinous substance, and that some
body is to reap fortune fIom this nat
ural resource, provided BY q forest of
approximately 2.000,0DO trees
But the question has sfisen-Who
gets the privilege OF gathering N this
fortune? II appears that Robert Hind
holds lease on the entire tract, OBJ

to have six yesrs vet to rum At the

what kind of lease the latter may have
in his possession.
Hind was reported to be in Honolulu
several days ago for the purpose OF
having his lease examined. to deferm-
inc what rights 1t gives him in the use
of the timber. but be did not call on
the Territorial officials to get their
ioeas on the subject.
A grazing lease ordinarily does not
give the lessee any rights TO mineral
which may be found on the land; but
there seems to be come doubt whether
the document held by Hind does not
give him privilege to make use OF the
timber.

PEARL HARBOR ESTIMATES
CALL FOR 81, 100000 OUTLAY

Just short of two million dollars will
be available for new work at Pearl
Harbor during the fiscal year now on,
if the items for public works as rec
commended by the Senate, carry in the
naval appropriation bill Advices from
Washington state that there is small
chance of. any of the Pearl Harbor APP
preparation being cut.
The largest single item on the list
is .SI,050,00 to continue work on the
drydeck, the limit of cost of which is
increased by the bill to s3,4S6,500 This
sum provides for a 200-fost extension.
bringing the total length to 1000 feet.
Monday next the navy civil engin-
eers will commence the driving of test
piles. at the. out -shore end of the dock,
to- determine whether the material is
firm enough to bear the weight of the
structure An extension on the harbor
end would interfere less with work now
in progress than an added 200 feet at
the shore end Five of these piles will
be driven, and considerable depends
on the result of the tests.
Yesterday Admiral Cowles received
the following table of estimates car
ried in the appropriation bill:

FREAR CERTAIN
TO HOLD OFFICE
SAY DELEGATES
HiIIeS Said to Have Assured
Rice of Governors Recess
Reappointment

Governor Frear is to be given a re-
cess reappointment by President Taft
according to promises made to the Ha-
waii delegation that went to the Chi
cago convention.
The story came back that Secretary
Hilles. secretary to the President. had
personally assured Charles A. Rice of
Kauai. member OF the delegation and
now national committeeman, that the
reappofntment would be made during
the congressional recess Mr.. Rice was
asked yesterday as to this story, and
while declining to discuss it at any
length, did not deny the essential par
ticulars. The report was not confiden-
tial, for other members of the delega-
tion also confirm it, and. furthermore,
the reappointment of Governor Frear
turns out to have played an important
part in the maneuvering during which
Hawaii's delegation voted for McGov-
ern for temporary chairman
At any rate, the Hawaii delegation,
or those members who have returned,
feel quite certain that the Governor is
slated for reelection. and that Secre-
-tary Hilles has made the absolute
statement that ne will be reappointed
The anti-Frear men express almost
equal confidence that Taft will not
name Frear again. Colonel Sam Par
ker is said to believe he holds the
personal assurance of Taft that Frear
is to be overlooked in the naming Of
a governor.
Incidentally, members of the delega-
tion say that the story that Hawaifs
representation may be cut from six to
two is very wide of the mark
The delegation can not be cut now.
because the convention itself adopted
the apportionment plan which gives
Hawaii six delegates. said one of the
local delegation today 1T is quite true
that Hawaii was in danger of having
its representation cut to two. The del
egation saved this by its handling of
tire voting. Now there is no danger
for another four years at least Ha-
waii is sure of its six votes in the big
convention"

New Matson Steamer Destined

Popular Demand

Passengers rather than freight viii
be favored with the completion of a
fine large liner, a contract for when
was let on June 9th by the Marson
Navigation Company, the Newport
News Shipbuilding and Dry G..1ck
Company being the builders.
Destined to be the largest and finest
appointed liner in the Matson service
a new steamship, 500 feet in leugth
over all, beam of So feet, moulded
depth of 1856 feet, 5000 indicated horse
power and capable of steaming at az
average speed of sixteen knots, the
Matson Navigation Company has -en,

Eastern shipbuilders for a vessel
which when completed will cost 81
304, ,000
Greater Passenger Capacity.
The new vessel is to possess "a larg-
er cabin passenger capacity than any
vessel making the port of Honolulu,
according to the plans and specifca-
tions now on -le at the office of Castle
and Cooke.
Large, airy and finely fitted state
rooms are proposed which will easily
accommodate 272 nrst class passen-
gers. A steerage, which is divided
into three sections, TO better look
after the interests of this class of
travel will carry 81 additional passen-
gers. One feature of the steerage IS
the fact that provision is made. fer
the segregation of passengers into
classes for single men single women
and families
Cabins Will Be Luxurious.
I Brass bedsteads to the number Of
"a are to be installed in luxurious
cabins many Of these rooms can be
thrown into suites. In those state
rooms not provided with brass single
beds, large beths are to be installed.
Each room will also contain con
venient sofa. which should the de-
mands of travel be unusually heavy,
can be utilized as a bed.
The fittings for all staterooms are
to be in keeping with the usual Vat
son standard of excellence as incpr-
porated in the liner Wilhelmina.
