HAWAIIAN CANNERIES' PRESIDENT
:. REVIEWS Land GRANT INCIDENT

I "In this lease we obligated our
SELVES to erect a cannery capable oil
handling pines from not less than
500 acres each year; site for the said
cannery TO be on government land in
the vicinity OF Kappa.
After carefully looking over the
land at Kappa, and after thoroughly
considering cur requirements TO per
nit US to carry cut the desires CT the
government, we applied for 10 acres
Of this land at the appraised value.
Considering the many years that the
government has been trying to place
small farmers upon the lands ada
cent TO the proposed site, and the total
failure CT its efforts until we became
interested, we have felt that inasmuch
as the factory which We were willing
to erect was recognized by the gov
eminent as being OF great assistance
TO II in carrying out its long delayed
policies relative to the settlement OF
these lands, II was not unreasonable
fer US to expect every assistance from
the government and more particularly
in regard To ste Of sufficient area
for the factory, accessories and the
future and proper development Of the
enterprise. Instead CT adopting this
policy Of encouragement which we had
every reason to expect, we were cha
grined to learn that at the meeting
Of the land board yesterday that they
are on record as being opposed to
granting us what we deem reasonably
necessary at price placed upon 1t by
disinterested and competent people.
Should be Dealt With on Broad Lines.
"We are not alone in considering
the enterprise in the nature OF gen.
eral public benefit, as well as a COM
mercial proposition, as it is in line
with the policy of not only the terri
torial administration but also of the
administration at Washington for the
development CT the agricultural lands
belonging to the government We be-
lieye 1t unfair to us and particularly
to the homesteaders with whom we
must contract, in the light OF our ex
penditures fand particularly unneces
sary expenditures forced upon us by
the land boardl for us to be dealt with
upon anything but broad lines. In
deed ether governments, and even prl.
yate individuals. have given and 1t
would not be unreasonable for us to
expect cur government to give to a
pioneer concern such as ours, at a
nominal figure. lands necessary for
the erection Of factory, used among
other things to develop the home
stealing and settling of government
lands. and this can be legally done,

standing.
The lease for 10 years of 1863 acres
which we hold from the government
should not be taken into consideration
for II is a foregone conclusion that at

Albert Horner Takes Issue with
Board and UphoidS the
Governor

Declaring that Governor Pinkham 1.
correct In his contention that the Ka
paa cannery site should be the full
acreage applied for. nineteen acres
Albert Horner. president Of the Ha,
waiian Canneries Company, this morn.
ing issued a statement reviewing the
situation that led up to yesterday aft.
ernoon's meeting OF the land board
and the Trent incident The state,
ment follows: .. -.
Regarding the action OF the land
commissioners yesterday relative To
land for a cannery site and accessor.
les at Kappa, Kauai, we wish to state
that representative Of the CalifoTnis
Canneries Co. came 10 the territory In
the early part Of 1913 and after look
Ing over the lands at Kappa, called on
Governor Frear 70 talk over details OF
the proposition. In the afternoon OF
the day said call was made the gov
ernor wrote him the following letter:
Referring TO our conversation Of this
morning. I wish TO express my very
great satisfaction that you are inter
esting yourself in the matter OF estab-
fishing a pineapple cannery at Kappa
on the island OF Kauai. This is a
project which the territorial admins
tration has for some time past desired
20 see contaminated, especially as such
q cannery will be of great assistance
to yhomesteaders in that locality.
The government has already dis
posed of a number of homesteads
there and has laid out about 1000 OF
more acres additional for this pur-
pose, which II hopes TO have taken up
with the right kind of people at an
early date. The government is desir-
Gus OF assisting you in every reason
able way in which 1t can legally do SO,
etc.
Again: There Is large area of
unusually good land now available
and upon the expiration Of leases not
many years hence, there will be much
additional land available for the Guilt
walton Of pineapples.' There Is album
dance OF water, ETC. And finally: i
trust that nothing will prevent the
scheme from going through
Have Expended Over $4,000
Upon the presentation Of this let
ter to local investors now interested
In our company. and after thorough
examination Of the conditions existing
at Kappa, the Hawaiian Canneries Co,
Ltd, was formed. Relying upon the
good offices OF the executive, we leas-
ed 1863 acres from the government for
q period of 10 years. to insure pines
for the cannery until such time as the
homesteaders could. establish them
selves, and to date we have expended
over 100000 u Development.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1914-03-05

its expiration the lands will be taken
up by settlers.
The governor writes: I trust that
nothing will prevent the scheme from
going through
I'VE have done more than required
by the government towards putting the
scheme through: homesteaders are on
the land, believing the government
would act in good faith towards the
whole proposition, and we will expec;
the land board to withdraw it's oppo-
sition that the plans outlined at the
beginning may be carried out; that
the work on the factory may be begun
at once and be ready for the pines
which will ripen about January /,
1915.
Not Beach Property. ....
I'VE notice that the land board
maintains that the land asked for is
beach or waterfront property. This is
not correct. The land in question lies
back from the beach, the government
having reserved a stretch 100 feet
wide above high water and the land
does not touch the beach at any point
The land has never been used for
any purpose whatsoever from the be
ginning of time, and is suitable for nc
purpose but that for which it is asked
for. The agricultural lands lying above
and upon which the homesteaders are
located was appraised and sold for
price ranging from So to SIS pei
acre, while the appraisement of the
waste land for factory was appraised
at $65 per acre by the board Of ap
praisers and raised by the land board
to 500 per acre.

versant with conditions here. cost OF
materials, building expenses and the like.
nre better qualified to design houses OF
comparatively low cost for this vicinity.
1t Is also thought that TO open the
competition to draughtsmen through
out the country would mean 90 many
competitors that the jury. composed OF
Aymar Embury I'd and ThomaS Hast

design the attention IL deserves and
consequently the awards could not he

valuable material will be lost 10 the
competition through this Limitation. but
II IL confidently believed that the ideas
which will be submitted by the young
men and women who enter the contest
will answer the call for comfortable
artistic homes at reasonable cost.
II would seem from the volume Of in
uuiries received since the competition
was first announced that competitors
are finding chief trouble In laying out
their plot plans. The terms Of the COM
petition require such plan TO shoY'
how the house designed can be placed
