Settlement. v
HONOLULU, Oct. 20. One of
the most weighty problems at present
confronting the administration of the
public, hinds of the Territory H the
lisposilinn to be made of leaseh lids
11 poii which large corpr ration are now
rrising sugar cane, but of which the
li ases are approaching th(ir termination.
The Organic Ac t provides that no
corporation shall acquire and hold
real estate in Hawaii in excess of one
thousand acres, also that no lease of
of any public land shail be granted for
i longer term than live years.
Applications for cam: lands on
which leases are running out are he
ing received in considerable numbers
by 1 lie Commissioner of Public Lauds.
s at present there is no oilier crop
that is raised so profitable as sugar
C(.ni, it is the policy of the govern
ment to have the lands in question
settled by people who can give as
surances ttmt t'vy will be kept up to
the preseut state of cultivation i.i
sugar cane the understanding being
that the corporations owning the
sugar mills now grinding thu cane
from such lands will pay the best
contract juice going on their own
holdings for the cane. 1
What is sought to bu guarded
against is letting people have the
lands who wi'l hold them only for
speculation or who will try to evade
the rcsidencH condition and merely
place Asiatic labor on their holdings
on shares with themselves. Actual
settlers who will cultivate as much
land as, and na more than, can be

bers of their families are sauted to
take up the lands.
"This is u matter that effects the
whole community," 1 Commissioner
Pratt said yesterday ss he outlined
the policy in substance as above.
"At least one settlimcnt associ
ation has given assurance of having
the cubital behind it to keep up the
present state of cultivation.
''In trying to obtain actual culti
vators as settlers on cane lands we
have the backing of the largest
planters in the country. They assure
us that they will not endeavor to
block the settlement of land if it is to
be maintained in the preseut state of
cultivation."
Gen. Kondratenko Is Given
Last Honors.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 8-The arrival
of the body of Major General Kondra
tenko, commander of tie Seventh
East Siberian 1 titles, who was killed
last December at Port Arthur, and
itn interment in the venerable Alex
ander Nevskv Monastery today, were
marked by the most impressive mil!
tary and, civil spectacle witnessed
here since t he early days of the war.
for once all classes of the population
of the capital awakened from that
apathy which was untouched by the
news of the battles of Mukden or the
Sea of Japan or the announcement of
the conclusion of peace.
Thousands of spectators, standing
silent and uncovered in a drizzling
rain, walked the beard Nevsky Pros
pect from the Moscow station to the
gates of the monastery, while Grand
Dukes, Ministers of State and the
highest officers of the army and navy,
many of whom had won distinction at
Port Arthur and in Manchuria follow
ed the coffin through the muddy
str ets as common mourners with the
widow and son of the dead general.
In the procession could be seen the
uniforms cf every order of the Russian
military. Each regiment of the St.
Petersburg garrison sent a detach
ment of veterans, many bearing the
thirty-year-service medals to form
the military escort.
Conspicuous among the clergy were
two militant priests fiom Port Ar
thur, wearing t.ie board yellow and
black ribbons of the order of St.
George awarded them Tor gallantry
during the siege.
Many cities were represented by
deputations. The Emperor had ex
pected to attend, but, as he was un
able to do so, ho was represented bj
Grand Duke Vladimir. Metropolitan
Antonius, assisted by the choristers,
celebrated the "Panich'eda" for re
quiem and eulogized General Kon
dratenko as "the soul of the siege,
for when he died the fortress fell."

Mandamus Battle Comes on Mon
day. HONOLULU, Oct. 20. Abram
Lewis Jr., of Snpth & Lewis, has
been retained by County Attorney J.
D. Willard of Kauai to assist in con
ducting the appeal of the County of
Kauai from the decision of Judge
Hardy, dismissing the mandamus suit
against Asssessor Holt of Oahu and
Assessor Farley of Kauai to compel
the assessing of income taxes on
Kauai plantations in that taxation
division instead ot the first division
(Oahu).
The case is set for Monday next in
the Supreme Court. Deputy Attor
ney General M. F. Prosscr will re
present the nssrssors as Territorial
officials and oppose the appeal. Pro
bably County Attorney Douthilt will
appear on the same side to represent
Oahu's interests. D. H. Case, coun
ty attorney of Maui, made common
cause with Kauai at Lihue and will
probably nt least "watch the case"
for his county before the appellate
court. '
Mr. Lewis' engagement on behalf
of the writ of mandamus, at all event,
indicates lha an exhaustive presen
tat ion of law on the question will be
made. Yesterday Mr. Lewis buck
led down hard to the work of prepara
tion.
Smull Demand For American
' Literature.
NEW YORK, Oct. ll.-Only 2:
per cent of the books used by readers
of the New York Public Library dur
iug the past year belonged to the de
partment of English and American
literature, according to the report
made by Director Billings. The 75
per cent most in demand Included
either foreign books or had to do with
subjects that occupy the student.
The cosmopolitan charter of the
students, the directors says, was thus
shown. Ihe books consulted num
bered 015,454. and were read by 200,
2118 persons.
Three new Carnegie libraries have
been opened during the year, and the
total of hooks in them and other
branches of the new public library
amount to more than four millions
Among the gifts acknowledged by
the annual report was the catalogue
of a collection ot Chinese porcelains,
owned by J. Pierpont Morgan.
Hilo, Oct. 19, Tobacco is a decided
success in Hawaii ai,d a movement
is underway to establish a company
with sufficient capital to develop the
industry.
Out in Hamakua the Government
under Director Jarcd Smith, started
an experimental station about three
years ago and the result has been
highly satisfactory in every way.
Thore was some difficulty experienced
at first in securing the proper seed
so that the result was not what it
should be. Last year there was a
crop of Sumatra leaf and this year
it will be still larger. The gentle
man in charge of the station, C. R.
Blacow, was in town ou Tuesday on
his return from Kau, and he showed
that be jh ad lost noncjof the enthus
lanis he displayed wllcu he first as
sumed the duties of guardian of the
Government tobacco crop on this is

If you could put coating of
pure, raw linseed oil on your
house, and that oil would
stay there, it would protect
your house from the elements;
and preserve the material un
derneath. Any honest painter will tell yon that oil Is
the life of paint and that the pigment mixed with theoil is
put there to prevent the oil from drying out and drop
ping off, and to hold the coloring matter. Therefore
to have a good, durable job of painting, you must have
pure unseed oil.
HOUSE
is the old-fashioned thick pigment that you mix gallon
for gallon with raw linseed oil mix it yourself (or let
your ten-year-old boy mix it) and you know what you
are getting. Kinloch Faint will preserve the lasting
qualities of linseed oil and produce the most durable and
economical job of painting possible to procure.
Buy Kinloch l'aint, the paint that "likes" lin

that you mix yourself and know what you are getting
The Paint that Saves you Money.
For every gallon of Kinloch Paint buy a gallon of fresh, pure, raw,
linseed oil in bulk of any reliable dealer, get a good painter to apply it
and you can have a job lasting four or five years for a smaller outlay in
the first cost of materials and a saving of one-third to one-half in the
per year s wear cost of the job.

largo fortune. In 185t! he opened a
banking house at 137 Broadway,
which was capitalized at $200,000
