HlLO, November "4-Members OF
the board of supervisors have more
than once expressed their appreciation
Of the work done By Land Commits,
sioner Rivenburgh in behalf of home.
steaders on the Island of Hawaii. but
there is one plan under way by orders
IF Mr.. Rivenburgh which is being, crit.
cized in a very general manner, and
that is the building of trails, instead Of
roads, TO the Opibikao homesteads in
Puma.
This week the homesteadcrs of that
district, most of whom are Havana rs.
signed a petition directed to the la nd
commissioner, in which he is requested
20 build the roads to the homestead
tract at least twelve feet wide instead
of the six-foOt trails which are now
being put through. In connection
with this petition, the following let
ter, dated November "A, from Norman
4. Lyman, as representative from the
first district, is self-explanatory:
Dear Sir herewith wish to thank
you for the way in which you are en-.
deavoring to assist homesteaders in the
County Of Hawaii, and having roads
constructed through their lots, but am
somewhat surprised to learn that you
are authorizing the construction of six
foot trails to the OpihikaO honest cad

law allows that money should be used
for trails, as it is very plain and states

~ enclose herewith a petition from
the hOmcsteadcrs of Opihikao who are
lrectly interested in this road or trail
which you have authorized, protesting

that a proper road be authorized by
you, according to the intents of the
| above mentioned sections of the re-
vised laws of 1915. AS I understand

he present time, and several hundred
more are being planted now, and to

products from 500 to 600 acres of land
over a pack trail is, believe, o crime,

take this matter up with you and try
and have it adjusted, otherwise I am
requested to take 1t to the Legislature.
~ personally am opposed to any
public money being spent on any trails
TO homesteads, but highly recommend
that proper roads should be constructed
and put in properly, so that the people
can transport tRIG goods to their
homes by wagons or autos. The days
of trails have gone by, and why try
to go back to them"
At hearing before Judge Quinn in
the fourth circuit court last week, in a
probate case. it developed that the
price of ava has gone away up and the
root is now bringing over 5000 ton
and it is possible to raise from two ia

RUSSIA SHORT Of SUGAR

The allowanc" per person is fixed at
three pounds month. Sugar has been

ing 20 dislocation of industrial activity
and the vast quantities issued to the

of the difficulty has been due to pro-

has not risen much.
