ed. 1t was then decided that this amount was too
large and the Mahuka site few months ago was
formally abandoned.
Up to this time there had been no advocacy
of the Spreckels' site made publicly and Honolulu
had no intimation that the selection of the Irwin
site was in danger until comparatively few weeks
ago. when The Advertiser received word from
Washington that agents of the Spreckels' property
were in Washington trying to sell it to the gov
eminent. Honolulu was at first incredulous, be-
cause it was not deemed worthy of serious belief
The advocates of the Irwin site had made no move
after it had been known that the Mahuka site was
to be abandoned, because, in the first place. it has
been agreed that the decision of the treasury de-
partment would be accepted without further dis
Icussion and in the second place, because for the
past three or four years there had been only the
one alternative to the Mahuka site mentioned that
being the Irwin site
During the past several weeks there has been
an effort made to create the impression that Ho-
nolulu was divided between the Spreckels and
Irwin properties, but if the congressman will take
the trouble to search the files of the Honolulu
papers for the past several years they will find no
mention of the Spreckels site whatever. The divi-
sion was between those who advocated the Irwin
site because OF its superior advantages the
Mahuka site and those who either desired to see
the Mahuka site used because they favored it or
who favored that site because they wanted to see
work started on the federal building, regardless
of where it went, and who deprecated further agi-
taton as tending to delay the work of construc-
ton.
The Advertiser does not to go into the ques-
ton OF the campaign OF the Spreckels' site agents
in Washington, because we do not believe that
any treasury department representative or COM
mtee of congress could hesitate at all in selecting
the Irwin site, after the ground had been visited
and the two sites compared. 1t is quite erroneous,
however to believe that Honolulu is divided. Ho-
nOlulu wants the Irwin site. 1t wants that site
because it is best in itself larger, cheaper and as
convenient, while its adoption will enable the crea-
ton here OF Civic Center for all time to come

The Federal Site Matter

IN his address at Ho during the ceremony of
the laying of the cornerstone for the federal
building there Representative Burnett, of the
house committee public buildings and grounds
made decided hit when he informed the Hioites
that because they had shown harmony lacking
in Honolulu they had the pleasure of seeing work
under way on their federal building before the
site for the Honolulu building had been even
selected.
Mr.. Burnett in this voiced what appears to be
an opinion shared by majority Of the visiting
congressman, namely that there is marked diff
ference of opinion in Honolulu concerning the best
site for the promised federal building. AS mat
ter of fact there is no division of opinion here in
the ordinarily accepted sense of the word. The
Advertiser has no hesitation in saying that ninety
per cent OF the American population OF the city is
agreed in the matter of the site, and that is as
nearly unanimous as can be expected in any Amer
lean community
For the benefit of the visiting congressman, I
brief review of the site matter may clear away
what appears to be general misunderstanding
among them, misunderstanding which is doing
an in justice to Honolulu.
Several years ago site was selected and pur-
chased, known as the Mahuka site. This purchase
was over the protests of those who favored the
selection of the Irwin site, but the decision was
generally accepted until representative of the
firm of architects selected to design the building
visited Honolulu and urged that local action be
taken to prevent the mistake of using the Mahuka
site, which was too small and which did not permit
of the erection of building worthy of the gov
eminent of the United States in city where SO
many thousands from the Orient secured their
first American impressions. 1t was ntimated very
broadly that the treasury department would be
glad to exchange sites in order to the Irwin
property, favored by the department officials, by
the architects by the territorial administration and
by very large number of others whose interest
in the matter not affected by personal consid-
eratons and real estate values
After much discussion Washington decided to
accept the opinion of the architects that the site
was too small and steps were taken to secure the
balance of the block. After months of bargaining,
condemnation proceedings were brought and the
Fort street addition value was udically determin-

James r. Mann

II is to be doubted II any one Of the visiting
congressman has secured as much information
concerning Hawaii during this congressional visit
as has the quietly industrious leader Of the House
Republicans, James r. Mann of Illinois. Wher-
ever he has gone throughout the Islands, Mr.. Mann
has been adding Hawaiian data to the encycIo-
paedian knowledge he already possesses on prac-
tically every branch Of American industry, and It
is safe to say that whenever in future any Hawai-
ian subject comes upfoET discussion in congress
during the remainder OF the present minority lead
ers official life twill find him posted and ready
The fact that James r, Mann Is one.of the ner,7
bers OF congress who accepted Hawaifs initiation
is Aattering to Hawaii, Mr. Mann IS leading
presidential possibility, having fairly won the
right to be considered for his pafty,s nomination
through his able leadership Of the party forces in
the house during the past congress; for bis gen
uine craftsmanship during previous sessions when
leading in the shaping Of legislation for the Re-
publican majority for his general grasp Of affairs,
and for his wide knowledge onsinnunerable sub,
jects 81 e IA !, tE II. as NJ
+ : Mr. Mannsspeaks with authority Of knowledge
when he takes the floor, and his searching qtes-
tons ever since he has been In Hawaii show that
he is here to add to his already wide acquaintance
with things Hawaiian in order that he may be
even better prepared in the future to work for the
welfare of this Territory Whatever the trip to
Hawaii may have been for some Of the visiting
congressman for James r. Mann it has certainly
been no junket. He is for business and is always
on the jol. ~. - ~ 4 81. w., !

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER

During the past week or ten days
the sale of Hawaiian onions to dealers
and consumers has increased consider
ably thanks to the efforts of The Ad.
vertiser but there are several tons on
the market to be disposed of. Every
consumer of onions has q chance to
give home production a helping hand
tomorrow by buying a good supply
from the Territorial Marketing Divis.
ion.
Vegetables are plentiful due to the
recent rains and the scarcity of the
melon fly. Large quantities of toma'
toes are coming on the market and are
selling at the lowest price in many
years, less than one cent a pound. Now
is the time for all good housewives to
buy for canning. Large quantities
are being dumped
Cucumbers are very plentiful and
cheap. Watermelons seem 70 be only
slightly attacked by the melon-fy this
year. The prices now asked make II
possible for nearly everybody to eat
watermelon. MuskmelOns of very
good size and flavor continue to come
in from Waimaualo. The fruit is no,
infested with the fly and has as good
a flavor as those imported from Cali
fOrnia. b..
Island potatoes Of good size and
quality are selling well due to the
scarcity Of good imported stock.

Larger quantities Of fresh pineap-
pies will go to the mainland from now
on. As long as pineapples shipped to
the Coast net growers more than 81 u
ton, the price offered smai growers by
the canneries, it will be question
of markets for the fruit and not Of
getting fruit to ship. Unless the cost
Of producing a ton of pines has been
about cut in half of what it has been
up to last year, l. is hard TO see how
any cannery company can afford to
put in several hundred acres of new
land in this fruit and at the same
time refuse to buy at a price admit
teddy below the cost of production.
r. The condition Of the honey market
has not improved in the least. 1t Is
estimated there are now on hand TO-.
900 cases of honey with the prospect
Of total of more than $4,000 cases by
the end Of this season. Due to tho
European war no honey has been en-,
ported since last August. The situa.
tion is grave one for the men, n
stockmen Of Hawaii could be induced
to feed a limited amount Of honey In
addition to the. present ration II n
likely that the whole crop could be
used here in Hawaii. Some of the
large growers should donate enough
honey dew to carry on experiments iu
cooperation with different kinds OF
stock.
