NO WORK ON PRIVATE LAND
Can Be Done BY the U. S. Geological
Survey.

The function Of the government bu-
reau with relation TO publicly owned
land is unquestioned, and il has been in
recognition Of this special function that
the nd-classification work OF the United
States Geological Survey has been en-
phasized and expanded until il now con
stitutes an integral part Of the surveys
activity and represents a large share Of
the current expenditures. Not only is
the investigation Of all the possible val
ues attaching to lands belonging to the
nation in line with business principles.
but the determination OF what consti-
tutcs the highest use Of the undeyeloped
lands is an allied task Of even greater
Importance indeed. il is nothing less
than a national duty. The surveys func-
ton on the public lands is therefore in
no sense matter for debate, and "the
classification Of the public lands" in the
broadest sense, including the considera.
ton Of questions Of highest use as wen
as OF lawful disposition is the special
task laid upon this branch Of the govern
ment service. The investigations on the
public lands directed to the determine
ton Of their value may and do 20 into
whatever detail i demanded BY the par
ticular resources OF this or that tract Of
land and BY the questions 10 be answered

Can Execute No Surveys for Private
Parties or Corporations.

The function 81 the government and
the government bureau with relation to
privately owned land must be deter
mined by other facts. The attitude "a
landlord Is here plainly impossible, and
land classification In the sense OF ape
pfaisal and inventory Of individual
tracts has no place. Presumably in this
case the federal government Is not the
one most interested IN land value. but
rather the interest of the individual or
corporation landowner i superior 20 any
concern on the part Of the nation. Upon
this sort IF premise undoubtedly was
based the prohibition III the organic act
at the survey. e. the effect that the ~.
rector and members Of the survey "shali
execute no surveys or examinations" a
prohibition which in administrative
practice has been construed as aimed
against al work done primarily for the
benefit II single landowners other than
the government itself whether such *.
sminations are paid for BY the private
owners or conducted NJ public expense

value OF the publicly owned lands. The
detailed examination by the government
geologist of Leadville mine in 1879, or
OF a mine in the Yerington district in
1914, is justified only as the facts of one

genesis determined are found TO have
broad application in the winning of min
eral wealth. This principle applies

Results Must Be of General and

The distinction seems obvious The
determinative factor in the whole mat
ter is whether the nyestigatiye work on
privately owned land yields results that
are merely Of local and personal interest,
or results that are of general and ma.
tional value. The know ledge OF mineral
deposits can be gained in large part only
by entrance to mines, and thus to pri-
vate lands. II restricted to public lands,
biologists would have no opportunity to

Reinhardt Case Now
To Be Tried On Merits

HONOLULU, Dec. 20. Charles
Reinhardt, of Hama, Maui, was injured
by falling into a washout on a public
road in the Hama district, some
months ago, and sued the Valley Island
County for damages, claiming that his
injuries had come about because of
the negligence shown by the Maui
county authorities in the proper up
keep of the roads on the island.
The county demurred to the COM
plant in the suit for damages and Cir
cult Judge Edings overruled the Ge
murrer, whereupon the case was
brought to the supreme court on eX-
Ception. An opinion, written by Chief
Justice Robertson and concurred in by
Associate Whitney, the latter sitting
in place of Associate Justice Quarles,
now absent in the mainland, handed
down yesterday, overruled the eXcep-
tions of the defendant county.
The case will now proceed to trial
on its merits in the circuit court at
Wailuku, Maui.
The case was argued before the
supreme court by ID. II. Case, repre-
senting the plaintiff and by County
Attorney Bevins who represented the
defendant county.

Maui Examinations
Bring Funny Answers

Examinations always bring out a
lot of funny answers. Here are a few
that came out at the recent school
examinations on Maui:
Questions.-What is the most eff
cient way of disposing of dirt in the
school room?
Answer.-The most efficient way of
disposing of dirt in the school room
is by sweeping the dirt into small
piles in the corners, and after that
the school should be mobbed.
Question.-Name six current events
you have studied in class and write
about one of them.
Answer.-The six current events |
have studied are: The Sinking of the
Lusitania, The Sinking of F-4, Death
of Booker T. Washington, President
Wilson's Marriage, The Wireless Tele-
phone, Temperature at North and
South Poles, and the word Gruesome.
And this is what was written upon
the last subject:
The teacher said willie, give me
a sentence with the word gruesome in
it,"
Willie said, "The soldier stopped
shaving and gruesome whiskers."

High School To Serve
Lunches To Pupils

The new Domestic Science building
at the Maui High School, Hamakua-
poke, is rapidly nearing completion
and should be entirely finished in a
few days. The building consists of a
laboratory or Kitchen" 80 by 22 feet,
and lanai of the same size where
the lunches, which are to be prepared
by those taking the course, will be
served. The intention is to furnish
a nutritious and palatable lunch at a
reasonable price. The price charged
is to be simply enough to make the
course self sustaining. For the pre-
sent the lunches are to be sold for
5 and 10 cents.
Twenty pupils are taking the domes-
tic science course and the lunch SER
vice to all the pupils of the school will
be started during the first week OF
next term.

Will Test New Auto
Ordinance In Court
Owners Object To Fee Required For
Re-EXaminatiOn of Chaufeurs.-
Other Points Also Questioned.

How much of the new automobile
ordinance will hold water, and how
much more of it will have no real eff
feet for another year are matters that
are the subject OF a good deal of spe-
culation among car owners on Maui
at the present time. That the act is
to be tested through the courts on
the clause requiring all drivers of cars
to submit to re-eXamination as to their
qualifications, at cost of 81, is an
nounced by D. H. Case, who contends
that the county has no right to make
such requirement, or at least TO charge
for it. Mr.. Case holds that if the
county can require chauffeurs to be re-
examined and another fee collected for
same that there will be nothing to
prevent the county's repeating the
process whenever it sees fit or needs
the money.
Another point on which many
owners are taking o stand is in the
matter of registering cars. The new
law requires that all cars must be
registered annually between the 18th
and 31st of December of each year,
The sheriff's Office has been busy for
the past two weeks making such re-
gistrations, but inasmuch as the new
law does not go into effect until to-
morrow (January y, it is claimed by
many that it cannot be invoked prior
to that time, and consequently such
registration cannot be legally made
until December 1916.
Registration under the present
ordinance is good until January /,
1916. 1t is understood that the ques-
ions are to be carried to the supreme
court with as little delay as possible.

Track Records MAY
Be Broken Tomorrow
Rains Stopped In Time To Make Track
Very Fast. Great String of Horses
Cowboy Sports Will Be Feature.

Everything points to great day
of sports for tomorrow. The kona
storm of a week ago did cause a big
scare to everybody connected with the
New Years Day event, but the past
four days of fine weather has put the
race track at Kahului in better shape
than it has ever been before, accord
ing to Dan Carey, and some of the other
old time trackmen. 1t is freely pre-.
dicted that some new track records
will be set in tomorrow's events, as
a result.
Tom HOllinger's string-Welcome
Boy, Harold D., and the runner Sea.
bolt-arrived from Honolulu on Tues.
day morning by the Claudine, and in
spite of a rather rough trip arrived in
fine condition, and have been show
ing some fine qualities at the track.
Harold d. is new one on Maui, and
is attracting much attention. Jack
Gibson and Caleb Leonard have the
horses in charge.
Dan Carey, who will handle the
reins over Angus McPhee's Denervo
in the free-for-all against Welcome
Boy and Maui Boy, isn't saying much
but what little he does say is indica-
tive of full confidence in his favorite's
repeating the results of the last
Fourth of July.
There is no question that the string
of horses which have entered. and
which will come in the various post
entry events, will be the finest that
has ever graced the Kahului track
The cowboy sports events, which
will pulled off in the afternoon, fol
lowing the horses races, are also GER
tain to be great success. Angus
McPhee has been almost swamped by
applicants of cowboys who want to try
for the prizes for broncho busting
steer-riding, roping, branding, etc. The
big feature, of course, in this connec'
ton, will be the roping contest be-
tween McPhee and Eben Low, both
one-armed ropers of the old school
who will try their skill for a purse
of $3.50, and for the horse, saddle
bride, rope, spurs, and hat, of their
opponent.
The races are scheduled to begin
promptly at o'clock in the morning
and the day will probably not be fin
ished until well along in the afternoon

WOMAN MAKES S1OO,OO
R~aps Fortune with $4,000 Ou
Advance Of UethIrhcW.

Miss Gertrude McCanrey, 81 years Old,
OF a7sA sixth street, Brooklyn. showed
her friends a check for 100000 yester-
day. which she said represented her
profits ON Bethlehem Steel during the
past month.
Her friends are calling her "the little
plunger." She says that any girl who
has a little nerve can make money In
Wall Street; although she must study
the market of course.
Miss McCaffrey explained that she had
been specializing in a small way for "a
number of years. Six weeks ago. she
said. she obtained some inside infor-
nation on Bethlehem Steel and got
together $1,000. She told her broker
TO buy when the stock was at so. As II
went up she bought more. Then she
ordered her broker to sell when the
stock was at 1870, but he couldn't carry
out her orders before 1t had gone up
to 1875
She said last night that the 800 900
would not turn her head, She would
keep on specializing, she said. but would
be cautious.
