Honolulu citizens will. soon be
called upon to make up their minds
on what they want, after gaining a
more or less definite statement on
what they can get. The proposition
is stewing in limited circles at the
present time. believe the discussion
should be general.
The only concrete thing We have
at the present day is that there is a
blockade and very complete one on
the federal building site.
Z But there Is desire for action.
This desire is really taking shape in
Washington, and will soon be more
in evidence locally. II
I'm my opinion, our people shouh
have the subject under serious con-
sideration so that there can be a
greater degree of unanimity between
the federal government and the COM
munfty than has hitherto prevailed. /

opinion and the decision of the archi-

is now in the hands of United States
District Attorney McCarn. He is rep

The absolute necessity of following
the policy advocated by Governor
Pinkhar1, for retrenchment In all lines
and in ell departments of the terri
torial government was made quite ap-
parent through the statements made
by the Representatives OF the planta-
tions.
Pessimism was the keynote Of the
talks OF all of the plantation men.
Under present conditions and with the
gloomy outlook for the future, the
plantations have little real value more
than the lands are worth as cattle

less the tariff laws are amended and
some duty o nsugar maintained there
is nothing in sight bu the virtual wip-.

wall. These sentiments formed the
basis of the expressions or the sugar
men who appeared before the board
this morning. They also claimed that
the returns they submitted were in
most instances as high as could be
consistently made. and that with the
increased tax rates fixed this year,
over that OF last, the plantations
will pay about the same amount of
taxes on the returns submitted, as
they did last year.
Mr.. Tenney stated that unless the
tariff duty is restored the plantations
will be skinned" or dismantled, and
the movable property on them sold
for what they win bring. Should
there be no evidence that popular opin-

Has Long Military Record and
Served in Both Arms, Par
ticuIarIy Cavalry

A two-star general officer, one of
the six wearing the uniform Of the
United States, now commands the
Hawaiian department This morning
Major-general VIM. III. Carter, who
ranks No. 4 on the list, took over the
command from Brigadier-general NJ.
NJ Macomb. The latter will remain
as awaiting transportation" until the
April transport sails for the coast.
General Carter, accompanied by
Mrs. Carter and his two aides, Lieu
tenants j. G. Pillow and j. d. Rear
dan, arrived on the transport Thomas
last night. The general and Mrs. Car
ter are staying for the present at the
Young hotel.
General Carter has a long military
record, and before he became a gen.
eral officer served both in the infan-
try and cavalry arms. Most of his
service has been with the horse sol
diers, however, and it is as a cavalry
man that his old-time friends always
think of him. He is well-set-up,
soldierly figure in uniform, and looks
several years younger than the army
register states. Also keen horse
nan, he brings to Oahu two splendid
mounts, and will probably be as fa-
miliar a figure in the saddle as Gen.
eral Macomb has been.
Il would be glad to tell you any
thing in connection with my new com.

eventually, but at present it looks as
though the men could not be spared
from the border. l haven't heard of

General Carter was born IN Tennes-
see, November 10, 1851 He entered
West Point as a cadet in 1868, and
was appointed I'd lieutenant in the

ADVERTISE MORE,
ADVISES MAYOR
OF ROCK SPRINGS
Wyoming City Official Says
Hawaiian Islands Unknown
in His Section

IF Hawaii intends becoming COM
.bined summer and winter resort it
will have to wake up and do consid-
erably more advertising" said ]. H.
Anderson, mayor of Rock Springs,
Wyoming, yesterday when seen at
the Hawaiian hotel Mr.. Anderson, in
company with Mrs. Anderson, arriv-
ed in Honolulu yesterday, and intends
to spend a month in the islands. .
But, then, | don't want to knock;
It is only kindly criticism and comes
in the form of suggestion" he con-
tInued. Take my home city, for in
stance 1t is mining center and
harbors host of wealthy men who
would jump at the chance OF coming
to this beautiful place to escape the
cold winters. But they go to Florida
or California. Why? Because Ha-
waits charms have not been suffi-
GENTLY advertised in that part of the
country
What led you to come to Homo
lGIu?" was the query.
Two young fellows from Rock
Springs visited Honolulu some time
oSOy MI. S1uuOl Dull. "ACA
they returned they talked of nothing
hut Honolulu and Hawaii. l took the
chance of a trip-and III tell you
what, I'm mighty glad of it, Think
of jumping from a place where it is
20 degrees below zero to a place
where it always is summer. Why,
California and even northern Mexico
climate is nothing compared. with
what you have here"
Mr. Anderson said that already he
has made application to join the come
back club, and, although he has beer
here but day he doubtless will prove
a loyal booster for theEe islands. He
laid special stress on his statements
that Hawaii need to be more thor,
Oughly advertised in the Middle West.
''In Wyoming, the people hear the
praises of Florida and California sung
continually" he said, "but there is
nary word about Hawaii to join in
the chorus. I'm going to wake up the
people in Rock Springs, though. I'm
going to get a lot of cocoanuts and
ship them back there by parcel post,
and, if possible, I'm going to send
back some of those big pineapples. 4"
Mr. Anderson visited the Promotion
Committee during the forenoon and
obtained considerable descriptive lit
erature, as we'll as information as to
where he might secure cocoanuts for
mailing. He and Mrs. Anderson will
spend at least a month in the islands,
and plan to visit the volcano, and per-
haps Kauai and Maui, before return
ing to the mainland.
