4-1 said lie thought the question df
whether a permanent organiza
tion should be attempted at once,
or delayed until all the home
stead urs could have a part in its
formation, required considera
tion.
Xow in Time, Says Cahvinhu
A. M. .Cabrinha asserted that
"now was the tinie to organize
even if a start had to lie made
with only 25 members." lie said
it had been the experience of the
original organization that the
homesteaders had to fight for
rights.
As a result of the discussion i
satisfactory compromise to all
concerned was arrived at by the
decision to appoint a comittee to
draft the by-laws, which will not
be passed upon until the nteetini:
Thursday even inn, when all the
sucessful lot applicants will have
an opportunity to be present after
uie close oi tne Homesteader se
lections on that day.
In the meantime, Secretary Spi
nola announced a resolution
would be drawn up protesting
against the granting of SOO acres
of cane land to the Waiakea Mill
Company until 1921. This resolu
tion will demand the immediate
opening of this land, and is to be
sent to the Hawaii legislators in
the house and senate.

Death of an Old Resident
Dr. Frances Wetmore, so well
known and loved in Uilo and
through the territory, died "Wed
nesday morning in this city. The
news caused much sorrow to be
expressed by everyone who had
ever come in contact with the
lady who was so marked for her
philanthropic worl-r.
Dr. Wetmore was born in Ililo
in the year 1S55 and she was the
eldest daughter of Dr. Charles n.
Welmore, an early missionary
and medical practitioner. After
being educated in these islands
and in the United States, the
young woman graduated from the
Woman's Medical College of Phi
ladelphia and returned to these
islands to become the partner of
her father.
Father and daughter became in
terested in sugar planting and
they found what was known as
the Papaikou plantation. E. G.
Hitchcock was a partner and lat
er on, they started the Kohala
Sugar Company in conjunction
with Dr. Wight and the" Rev.Elias
Bond.
Surviving Dr. Frances Wet
more are two sisters, Mrs. Henry
Deacon and Mrs. T. Lewis, both
of whom now reside in Oakland,
California. llilo Herald.
The End of a Long Suit
An agreement has been reached
betwen the AVaialua Agricultural
Company and the trustees of the
Itishop Estate which brings to an
amicable settlement a long stand
ing dispute over a large tract of
cane hind at Kawailoa, which is
a part of the big Waiulua planta
tion, says the Advertiser of March
12).
News of this agreement was ob
tained yesterday from authorita
tive sources, but the details were
not made public then, nor will
these be available until the papers
are tiled in court, either today or
tomorrow.
The lands in question have been
l he subject of a dispute for many
years, the question having first
arisen about eight years ago. Thel
I dispute reached the stage at being j
I caried to court some three years j
leaned to court some three years
,ngo, when the present litigation
was begun. I
The trustees of the Bishop Es
tate some three years ago filed
suit in the Honolulu circuit court j
in winch it was sought to cancel1
the lease made by the estate to thel
company, covering some i.i.uuu ,
ltf.OOO !
acres of-cane land at Kawailoa.
Get-Ready for the Fair
(Special to the Garden Island)
Honolulu, March 23 Plans aro bo
Ing fast rounded Into shnpo tor
greater territorial fair, to bo bold at
Kaplolanl Park, Honolulu Juno 9to
14. Last year's fair exceeded all ex
ncctatlons. It showed tho latest re
sources of Hawaii, In Industry, In ag
rlculturo, In commercial possibilities.
Exhibits of Hold crops, fruits and live
stock displayed amazed even tho most
optimistic believers In Hawaii's pos
slbllltics. Thousands camo nnd felt
proud of tho territory.
This year, a still greater record is
being sought. Tho war has been won,
and the reconstruction period is on.
Public spirited men and women aro
looking forward to an era of pros
porlty the liko of which the country
has never seen. These hopes will bo
realized with cooperation from plant
er, merchant, small fanner, and work-
A strong pull together, and tho
road to greater achievements is mado
easier.
Tho territorial fair Is more than n
moro exhibition. It has come to rep
resent tho barometer of territorial
growth, and its scope is only limited
by tho interest taken by the people,
rich nnd poor. It will bo built this
year on a scale which will encompass
tho educational advantages, as well
astho commercial. The molding of
tho cosmopolitan population to a real
ization that Hawaii's aims aro bound
up in tho welfare of tho people is a
big task, and tho territorial fair as it
grows from year to year will bo a
long looked for event.
With these aims in view, the fair
commission, headed by Edwin H.
Paris, has decided to stimulate in
terest in agricultural products by
giving cash prizes for tho best island
grown agricultural exhibits. Tho op
portunity to win one or more cash
prizes, varying from $1 to $15, is open
to all persons, regardless of where
they live in the territory, their ago,
sex or race.
Information will cheerfully bo fur
nished by the county agent, the fair
commissioner representing Kauai, H.
P. Agee, chairman of the agricultural
committee, J. M. Westgate, director
of tho U. S. Experimental station, or
any other member of tho agricultural
commlUee. Friends in Kauai are
urged to begin immediately to send
requests for Information as to ex
hibits to J. Walter Doyle, executive
secretary, 303-4 Hawaiian Trust Bldg.,
Honolulu.
An idea of the possibilities for win
ning prizes can be had from tho fol
lowing list: (Five dollars will be
awarded) New Era yellow, dent corn;
cuban corn; guam corn; collective
exhibit to cover crops (in sheaves);
Collective exhibit of ranch grasses
(in sheaves); collective exfiibit of,
ranch grasses (in tubs); exhibition
of Cassava roots; exhibition of edible
Canna roots; Japanese taro; Hawaiian
taro; Avocados; Chinese banana;
best collection of bananas; Limes;
Grapefruit; Oranges; Mangoes; Pine
apples (for table use); strawberries;
Papla; Japanese Daikon; Largest
Pumpkin; Largest Squash; Chinese
Lily Root; Chinese mustard cabbage.
Three sets of prizes, $10, $5, and
$3 will be given as follows for Alfalfa:
for the products of a homo garden
(professional truck gardeners barred)
the products of a school garden; field
beans; sweet potatoes; collective ex
hibit of tho products of a community.
A cash prize of $10 for each best
general exhibit of field crops, ancient
Hawaiian food crops, fruits and vege
tables, will be awarded.
It was claimed then that the com
pany had not lived up to the cove
nants of the lease in respect to
certain improvements.
From a statement made at the
time it was understood, on the
other hand, that the Waialua
Agricultural Company had placed
improvements on the land in ques
tion of the aggregate value of two
and a quarter million dollars.
ruder the agreement now
reached, it is understood, the
trustees of the Bishop Estate have
decided to withdraw the existing
suit for a cancellation of the
lease on this land, the questions
in dispute having been amicably
settled between the trustees and
tho plantation officials,
