LOST, STRAYED OR STOLEN
An Item of Importance Missing from
the Appropriation Bill.
Minister Cooper Makes a Very Favorable Pur
chase of Property Under the Item Before
Its Omission Is discovered.
"Now Buildings for Industrial
School, S10,000."
Acting under tho Impression
that this itom was in ono of tho
duly promulgated appropriation
hills of tho last legislature, Min
istor Cooper wont to Kauai last
week and concludod tho purchaHO
of the Smith industrial school
and sito at Koloa.
As ho obtainod tho property for
$3500, it must be deemed a good
bargain for tho Government, as
tho proporty comprises thirty
acres of excellont lund with a
$10110 building. Au otfor of
soOUU cash was mado for tho pro
perty the day after Mr. Cooper
had secured it. Indeed, thero
was a pretty raco for it betweou
tho Minister of Education and an
other party. They wore indifferent
stoamors, and Mr. Coopor's got
homo first.
Judge of tho Ministor's annoy
ance yesterday when ho learned
that tho fragniont of legislation
under which ho mado tho purchaso
ib not visible in tho statute book.
Ho is positive it passed both
houses without opposition of any
account.
Goo. Munson, clerk of tho Son
ate, says tho itom in question was
recommondod by tho conforouco
committeo to bo stricken out.
Minister Cooper has had the
otTor of affidavits, however, from
several mombers of tho Legisla
ture, attesting tho passage of tho
appropriation in tho final stage of
tuo bill. With a sulncient number
of such affidavits to support him,
tho Minister will probably through
tho Executivo Council ask tho
Council of Stato to authorize tho
expoudituro.
Tho schomo of which tho Kauai
purchase forms a part comprises
tho establishing of an industrial
school for boys in placo of tho
presont reformatory school, and
tho turning of tho latter into an
industrial school for girls combin
ing reformatory features. This lat
ter branch of tho schomo was sug
gested by sad scones in tho police
court. Wayward girls without
parents or guardians who could
control them would bo brought
bofore tho magistrate, and much
as thoy needed, correction and res
traint it was not in his heart to
sond thorn to prison. That would
simply oo giving thom promotion
in viciouB propensities.
Th intoution with regard to
the p. posed now institution for
boys ib to mako tho feature of in
dustrial training more comprohen
sivo than that of tho old lleforraa
tory in late years, whilo its penal
characteristics are to be maintain
ed in as subdued a I'ght as pos-ii-bio.
Thcso onds it is believed
would bo tho botti r attained in thu
country than in tho ity.
Tho Kuuai prop rl; win hold,
at tho timo of sal , iy a corpora
tion holding it in nut for educa
tional purposes. An an industrial
school it was conducted fur manv
years by tho lato Dr. J. K. Smith
and sisters, aud was a source of
lasting benefit to a host of young
Hawaiiaus.

AMONG OLAA PLANTERS
Coffee Magnates Fully Satisfied With
Results.
Have No- Use for the Croakers Not Looking
Backward Good Prospects
for Future.
A briof visit made by a repre
sentative of tho Hilo Tribuno
through Olaa shows a most satis
factory stato of tho cofTco industry
in tho banner coffee district of tho
Islands.
From the lG-milo post upward
through all the country onco un
der tho ban of tho pooplo who
knew nil about it, the trees aro
found in a most vigorous condi
tion, nnd thoso threo nnd ono half
years old up to fivo aro giving
promise of as largo a crop nj thoy
ought to boar.
lu tho higher olovation thoro
uavo been ono or two heavy sot
tings of lato which will not ripon
before February. Lowor down
tho nrop will begin to bo ready
for picking in two months.
Tho Bashaw place, now known
as Oliuo Plantation is in magni
ficent condition, probably not ox
eeo'led by any on the line. It is
ditlicnlt to estimate tho crop nt
this date, since it belongs in the
February ripouing catogory, but
tho four-yoar-old trees will aver
ago, easily, a pound.
Mr. Janes has about sovonty
acres which will como into bear
ing this year, nnd all tho older
portion promises to bear heavily.
Tho Capital CoiTeo and Commor
cial Co. will probably havo the
largest output of tho district, as it
has tho largost area in bearing,
and has sot heavily. The Com
pany havo orectod a largo mill
house, olnboratoly arranged to
accomplish first class work with
tho loast labor. The drying
arrangements aro especially ad
mirablo and well worthy insppo
tion by thoso preparing to build.
Mr. Higgins tho mnungor and
largest stockholder is thoroughly
convinced of tho vnluo of tho in
dustry. Whon told thero were
certain croakers prophosyiug tho
failure of coffoo, ho remarked:
"Lot 'em talk. I'm satisfied.
There's a wholo lot of fools
iu tho world, who spoud their
timo sitting around on dry goods
boxes, whittling, and waiting for
somebody to como up aud ask
them what thoy'll tako. Thoy al
ways know moro nbout tho busi
noss of tho community than tho
pooplo who do it." Theso aro

was irapossiblo owing to limited

SALE OF BONDS JUSTIFIED
Revenues and Taxing Powers of Hawaii
are Ample Security.
Problems Confronting the Government Settled at
Washington-Had to Decide Between No
Improvements and Increased Debt.
Capitalists, including somo of
tho stroug2st friends of tho Gov
orumont, havo been put into nu
inquiring mood by the decision
of tho Executive Council to sell
moro bonds for ohtaiuing funds
for cortain public improvements.
They want to know about the
security, also the propriety of lay
ing out borrowed money in im
proving United States property.
Attorney General W. O. Smith
made a statement of the Govern
ment's position in tho wholo mat
tor to a Billktin reportor this
morning. Ho begau by recounting
tho embarrassment tho Govorn
raont folt over its own status upon
tho transfer of sovereignty to the
United States. Could thorn bo a
republic within a republic? What
authority, if nny, was thoro iu
PresidontDolo's signaturo.and how
should he sign his nnmo? Tho con
stitution and laws prescribed that
writs should run iu the uamo of
tho "Ropublio of Hawaii." What,
under tho changed sovereignty,
should then becomo of criminal
prosecutions? At this very mo
mont this point was raised iu a
case before tho Suprorao Court.
Theso qucstijiis had, however,
nil been set nt rest by a decision
of tho Stato Departniout ou spe
cific reforouco. It amounted to
declaring that tho Govornmout of
Hawaii was to continue its title
and powQrs until CoupreHs should
provulo a now systoai.
An interesting fact toll by Mr.
Smith in this connection was that
tho Hawaiian Commission had
Mr. Dolo down on its lotter heads,
origiunlly, as " tho lato President
of Hawaii," but dimmed this style
whon tho decision was rocoived
from "Washington.
With this clonr exposition of its
status as tho local govoruiug
power of tho Hawaiian Islands,
Mr. Smith went on to say, tho
Govorirraont took up tho consider
ation of public improvements pro
vidod for out of tho Loan Fund.
Tho Uuitod Statos has assumed
$1,000,000 of tho publio dobt of
Hawaii, but tho actual iudebtod
ni'BB was $000,000 nbovo that
amount. Would tho Government
bo justified iu soiling moro
bonds, thus increasing tho dobt
over what tho United States had
assumed ?
It was an oxtroraely important
question. Should it bo nnswored
iu tho negativo, then a groat many
highly uocossnry works of public
improvement could not bo carried
out. Reproductive public work at
that. Whon tho road from Ha
makua to North Hilo, and tho
road from Kau to South Konn
wore complotod, tho wholo island
of Hawaii would bo girdled with a
good carringo road. This with tho
othor roads in tho interior author
ized by tho Legislature woro no
cossary to open up largo tracts of
land to sottlomont. Tho saino was
true with respect to tho road for
connecting tho Kihoi lands ou
Mnui with au oxcollent landing,
nnd to othor roads in tho list of
appropriations, as published in
yobtordny's BuLLEMN, which the
Exocutivo Council has just decid
ed to oxpond as soon as proceeds
of bonds arc availablo.
As to tho expoudituro of $12,000
iu Hilo harbor, Mr. Smith ex
plained that it was necessary for
making tho wharf just built thoro
available. Thoro is a shoal need
ing to bo blasted out for that pur
poso. Possibly tho Unitod States
would reimburse Hub Govornmout
for such exceptional oxpeudituroB.
Tho now wharf for tho bouofit of
tho Nahiku settlors was iu tho
samo catogory it was au iminedi-
ato public nocossity.
What is tho security for tho
purchasers of bonds ? Simply
tho revonues or tho country, and
tho taxing power of its govern
ment. All that tho Uuited States
is to tako away of such revenuos
aro thoso of customs duties nnd
tho postoflico. Mr. Smith doos not
apprehend that tlio rate of 'nxation
will, on nccouut of these depriva
tions, have to be raised niatorially
if at all.
By tho opening up of lauds to
sottlomont, and tho encourage
ment of a good class of Bottlers,
sought to bo accomplished by tho
public improvements in question,
tho taxable property of tiio coun
try will be so iticroa'od Hint it will
probably not be necesary to add
to tho individual burdens of taxa
tion. Mr. Smith poke of tho extru
sion nnd improvMnon of th- Ho
nolulu water woiks, found in tho
M-home of improvements about to
be carried out, as among tho ex-pouditure-i
that woro certain to bo
highly reproductive.
