STRIKE OF WATER
?vi AT OCEAN VIEW
A': theory of hydrographers would
appear to .have become discredited by
a wet fact that is,' the theory that
Kalmuki section is dry ' underneath
and, will not yield water to the .well-
borer's drill. ' Kalmuki is as rich in
subterranean 'water as its surface ; is
in candidates for office,' according to
a practical test' just made at Ocean
View; over the ridge." Here, a well haa
been bored' to a depth of only thirty-
nine feet,, where a spring or some
like source Eas been struck. George
H. Paris has put in a Paris garoline
turbine " pump, which is developing
10,000 gallons an hour of pure water.
Although the water; has not yet been
analyzed, Jt Is absolutely free from
any brackish uality to the taste. It
is not considered to be artesian water
proper,- but water finding its" way
down to the artesian reservoirs.

of land at Ocean View for. struck
farming. With his lucky 6trike of
water he will have some of the es

BUILT AT MARE ISLAND
Orders for a Sister Ship to the
Monocacy Are Received
From Washington "
VALLEJO. August 27. A sister
ship to the gunboat Monocacy will be
built at "Mare Island. Telegraphic or
ders to begin work were received
rom Washington this morning. Both
gunboats will be used in Chinese wa
ters.
Wfth two ships to be built instead
of one, the cost of each will be les
sened by distribution of the overhead
charges, and the estimate of $141,000
for he Monocacy was so much lower
than the nearest private bid $211,
000 by a Seattle firm that an investigation-was
demanded and made.
' Authorization for the gunboat just
ordered was made by Congress in
1838. .Great Britain objected under
the treaty of 1812, to the use of the
gunboat on the Great Lakes, as was
planned, and after fourteen years the
appropriation has now been let.

Kihei and liana lands wftre discuss-,
ed, referring especially to the opening
of tracts for homestead ing purposes.
Wanted Small Homesteads.
On the latter lands Tucker said
the applicants first ' wanted large
homesteads, but later decided they
wanted only small ones, of ten to
twelve acres each. There was no dis
sent to this suggestion. "
Applications for homesteads are
now awaiting the completion of the
surveys of the tracts.
Discussing the Kanumanu rem
nants, the leases of which expired
in 190G, he stated that some of these
have been taken already,, and . the
others are open, to be taken at any
time. Nine remain, three having been
taken.
The Kikipoolau Settlement Associ
ation was discussed. Tbe lands they
desired were taken up Dy nomesteaa
ers in August, 1910, the day. they
were opened for tnat purpose.
- Referring to his records, the land
commissioner told of several" tracts
that have been taken from the plan
tations and opened when requests for
such procedure came from home-seek
ers who wanted the land. Discussing
the" opening of strips along public
highways, . he stated that the policy
of the administration has beed to re-.
serve a strip fronting the thorough
fare for residence sites.
As to Patent Complaints,
Asked concerning: complaints from
persons taking 'land at Kauulu. on
the other side of Oahu, to the effect
that they can not get their patents,
Tucker said the patents are ready . to
issue and ' have' been . for : some . time,
but are held up until he can get over
there -to examine the , holdings and
ascertain personally if they have liv
ed up to the law, complying with the
homesteading requirements. He said
they will : not be dispossessed, ' how
ever, until he'ean examine their hold'
The Kohala, Hawaii, tracts, which
are to be opened for homesteading,
have not ' been ; opened this year : ber
cause the cane crops are not .yet
ready for . harvesting and will not be
ready until; next year. -On cross-ex-
amination by Attorney iAshford; he
said the prop was .planted Jn Febru
ary, il9ll, and requires about twenty
months, to mature: Tucker took : of
fice 4n March, 1911. He had not paid
any attention -to the tract -until ;. May
or June of 'this year, though appllca--tion
forits opening tor homesteading
was made before he took office. ,-
He explained that .Governor Frear
had , established a rule that cane lands
should not be opened except by the
special homestead agreement plan,
and that was - the reason the applica-.
tion of ' the . Aloha Aina Settlement
Association had been reject ed-rlt had
wanted,, jthe .rlghtdPf-nnxchase - lease
plan I u&edl ; ' .That, . he j asserted, ex
plained why some . other .settlement
associations, applications were accept
ed, 'and that was why t the apparent
partiality, had been shown.5 '
Wants Bona Fide Settlers. - ;:
He said if he had his way he would
grant homesteads only to those whom
he was convinced, would make bona
fide, successful farmers'. Clerks, me
chanics, and other classes he xqen-!
tloned as some who would be denied
because they ' would not make a sue!
cess as homesteaders. ' ';
In reply to Ashford's query he ad
mitted the land department has rang-;
ers, who ride oyer the country,, vis
iting hdmesteads frequently , . to find
now tne settlers are living up to their
agreement: .. j
Ashford asked If these rangers erer
notified the homesteaders themselves
of their .laxity and gave , them warn
ing. Tucker said he did not 1 think
they did, prior to his administration,
but had been doing that; recently.', ?
His reason tor favoring the special
homestead agreement as against the
right-bf-purchase lease for, cane lands
was that the homesteader would n6t
live up to the latter, while he Is more
likely to fulfill the terms of the for
mer. He considered v It good policy
for the administration to exercise this
discretion against the right-of-pur-chase
lease.
Under. questioning by the Secretary
he said the special agreement is much
clearer and the duties. of the. home
steader better and more fully under
stood. ,;
"An argument ensued between Ash
ford and the Secretary regarding the
.discretion allowed the Governor in
applying Jthe .various homesteading
laws. The percentage of lands to be
cultivated, ; under the various forma
of homesteading, was brought up, and
Tucker was asked to explain the .per
centages required by the different
forms. He read from the agreements
that are used under the special home
stead agreement plan and the right-of-purchase
lease,
The Secretary said the special
agreement evidently- is much the
clearer of the two. He asked the Gov
ernor if It wouldn't be possible to
insert 'in them a definite printed per
centage of "arable" land, that the
holder must cultivate. The Governor
replied he thought that would be ad
visable, and said he believed it had
formerly been used.
Geo. Dowsan, Chas. E. Stone and
six Japanese took lots averaging
about 12 1-2 acres each in Wood Val
ley, on cane land under the. special
homestead agreement, and Tucker said
Dow son informed him most of those
tracks were scarcely worth taking be
cause they were not very rich in soil.
Each homesteader was permitted to
take two lots, or about twenty-five
acres.
Tucker said when he took office he
began investigating the Hana lands,
and that while the lease is drawing
only about $100 for the government,
the land lease should be worth about
$6 an acre for the 400 acres, or
400. These are to be opened up for
settlement later. ,
Ashford then questioned him on the
history .of the Thompson Settlement
Association and the lands It took.
formerly held by the Hutchinson Sug
ar Plantation. The corporation now
does not hold any of this tract, he
asserted. He understood that forsev
eral years it had held the land on a
verbal contract, and was told by the
plantation manager the contract had
been made with Land Commissioner
Pratt, under the administration .. of
Governor Carter.
Ashford and Tucker engaged in an
amusing dialogue concerning the lat
ter'a opinion of Mr. Gregg as a de
sirable homestead applicant . Tucker
thought Gregg would not prove satis
factory, because he believed, he would
prove "erratic,- and if , he-rTucker
were to exercise discretion be would
debar the man from homesteading. At
the height of the colloquy It was found
that the Mr. Gregg under discussion
was in theV room. Tucker blamed
Ashford for vailing Gregg , "erratic,'
and the attorney called on the man to
stand up, which he did, and joined in
tne general laugn.
Governor Frear, a few minutes
later, discussing highways, said it
was peculiar that in the face of all
the talk about homesteading it has
been most difficult to get appropria-.
Hons- from the Legislature for roads
to make homesteading possible. He
explained that the money comes In
from the homesteaders very -slowly
and Is turned oyer ;to road "building
as rapidly as It 'accumulates in ade
quate quantities. , But the money does
no gp far . because of ,.the Jiigh cost
of . road., construction.. "The money
from homesteads In each county fa
applied ; on ; the roads of that artie-
; , Frear has, twice caused the law! to
be amended increasing the percent
age of these receipts to be used on
the highways. 'At present, however.
the entire receipts, go to that work?
'.; ;He admitted, In reply to : Fisher's
question, that if any ; relief or assist
ance Is to be obtained other than from
the sale. or leasing of public lands for
highways for homesteaders. Jt onust
come "fr6m the , . county .governments.
Asnrora h questioned Tucker further
cuuueruiiig uuinesieaa . aanas Jieia
on the other side of Oahu. He asked
Tucker if the -only reason they liave
hot been examined - and ' given .'titles
where warranted was Jack of time.
rocKer sara it was Ashford , asked
if Tucker's contemplated Visit to the1
uoast would delay that Investigation
still' further. r Tucker replied 4n the
negauve,. ana tne Secretary took up
this phase of the , stibject, asking for
further; explanation. , Tucker aald le
iay in examining . the .lands ? because
there . had; been sbmer'aquabbUng
among thehdlders, and "that it., was
commonly considered vmost or them

examination. "The: delay.he 'said, was
to give ' them opportunity ; to comply

ernment had declined to been ud 'the

In "opposition, to ' the . 'stores of ' the
plantation.', -.. ; 5 " V: .,:
Tucker exclaimed: That's ridicu
lous!" " ;
"It fs indeed ridiculous," remarked
Secretary Fisher, "unless it Is true.
That is, .a very serious charge," and
be requested Ashford to: take steps
to trace down the story . and bring In
definite information ' showlhg either
its trutn or iaisity. . . t
"I will do; that," said Ashf ordj.'We
don't ' want jtb reflect anything : like
scandal on the 1 admlnistration-r-and
this certainly approachea scandal.".
The Governor explained that ;.the
residence sites , had been .aurveyed
and held in , reservation. awaiting , ap
plications from the. .homesteaders.
EMdently, as this was not advertised
or made a matter of public knowledge,
the. homesteaders thought they. Were
rtot" opened for them,' and did, not
apply. J . :
"In other words," .Interjected the
Secretary, . "the administration and
the, people were passing each other
on the great highway."
The Governor admitted there was
nothing to prevent one. person from
taking all . these "residence tracts,
wtiich, are about .75x400' feet in size,
by-the medium of dummy home
steaders, and in a year's time acquir
ing title to the entire tract, except
that none seemed to want the land
badly enough to try the scheme. The
law does not prevent it.
Ashford said he thought the law
yer, doctor, clerk, mechanic or other
city man should have . the privilege
of taking up a small homestead tract
outside the city, en which he could
live, while working in town for his
living. The Secretary said he did
not think, however, that a clerk
hcould be a good farmer and a good
clerk at bne and the same time.
. Ashford described the difficulties
of a group of homesteaders at Hilo,
and told of objections made to them
by Mr. Campbell, land commissioner
at-that time.
The Secretary instructed him to
look up these cases more definitely,
and ascertain whether the objection
made by the administration to the
Thompson Settlement Association
was based on the fact that the menu
bers were clerks and city men.

The Opera House was well filled
with tke delegates to today's conven
tion this morning, -and there was poll
tics by the bu8heL One of the first
pieces of news that went' the rounds'
was that Jack Lucas had withdrawn
from ' the' race for supervisor.'. Mr.
Lucas had been P assured 'of much
strong i support and his withdrawal
was a complete surprise. When ask
ed as to hia reasons, he explained to
the Star-Bulletin that he had decided
not to run for personal reasons, hav
ing nothing to do with political ma-i
neuyering, and that, he feels he I can
not do justice to his private interests
and public office as .well, this fact
having . been brought' home to him
very lately. T was not afraid of the
outcome of the convention at all' he
said ' .:: ,y
"With Lucas off the ticket, the re
port immediately "was circulated that
W. H. Hoogs, who withdrew yester
day, would again become a candidate,
and close on this was the report that
E. H, Paris had decided to become a
candidate. . .. .
The supervisoral situation hasT)een
changing with lightning rapidity. As
this issue of the Star-Bulletin . is go
ing to press, the Kalmuki delegates
are trying to effect, a working agree
ment with the delegates of the eighth
of the fifth precinct The Kalmuki
delegation is playing a sort of lone
hand in the convention., having de
cided not to work with the general
Republican" steering committee, and
is out vigorously for a supervisor
from Kalmuki. What , will be the out
come of the joint caucus with .the
eighth precinct Andrews' precinct is
still to be seen.
The framing of the rules committee
was apparent from the first Oscar
Cox, the temporary chairman, had
had his rules committee already se
lected for him, and the story that
this committee was written out in
Andrews' handwriting was rumored
about among the delegates. The
rules committee was overwhelmingly
against an open ballot and didn't take
long to say so, although the expected
minority report was forthcoming.
The mayoralty situation changed
little overnight with the exception
that Col. Sam Parker, has kept devel-!
oping strength. Aside from this, and
the shifting supervisorial Situation,
there is little change from the pre-
convention line-up.
Some Delegations Sbaky.
The fight over the secret ballot is
absorbing more interest than anything
else in the convention. Some of the
delegations instructed for an open bal
lot, or which have decided in caucus
for an open ballot, were reported wav
ering. In fact, there was a move in
the delegation from the Second pre
cinct of the Fourth district to recon
sider the action takfen some time ago,

when it was decided that !tne'halr
man of. the delegation should evenly
announce the vote of the delegation.
This move was frustrated yesterday,
being voted down, but it indicates that
some of the, members are wavering.
The . Eighth: of the Fourth was also
said to be somewhat shaky. . At first
the report was that the delegation of
fifteen, -with the exception ;of Lorrln
Andrews, would he strong for an open
ballot but at noon it developed that
some of the others are on the fence
and may swing to Andrews. side.. ,
Col., Sam ; Parker, chairman of : t he
county Committee,' called the conven
tion to order; la pne of the shortest

CONVENTION NOTES
Col. .Sam s Parker, who as county
committee cairman called the conven
tion to order, made what is said to be
the shortest speech ever delivered at
a convention in Hawaii. He said:
Gentleman, it is my duty as chairman
of the county committee to . take the
necessary steps to seeJhat the con
vention is organized. When that is
dene, my duty ceases.
Wise was a sort of Informal coach
for Col. Parker, Every time the colonel
paused, Wise told him the next Order
ot business.
Col. Parker squelched A. S. Kaleio
pu, delegate from the fifth district",
who demanded that the temporary
chairman be named before the tempor
ary roll-call was read- Tm the tkns

hand blandly, "and we want to get
through. Call the "roll, Mr. Secretary,"
