Report ,on Lands of '
Hawaii.
OWNLRSUIP ABSOLUTE
BY ANNEXATION ACT
General Rwiew of Our Land Systeit-
Survey3 Are Superior to Those
of the Spanish
Possessions.
Washington, Kov. 2. In his annual
report, Commissioner Hermann, or me
(leneral Land Olllcc, makes tho fol
lowing references anil comments upon
the public lands of the Hawaiian Isl
ands: Prior to the year 1S46 tho InndB In
Hawaii belonged In legal contempla
tion to the King, and tho chiefs and
tho people as tenants, by a system
closely resembling tho former feudal
system of England. In that year,
however, tho King granted to his.
chiefs and people certain other por
tions of the land, to government pur
poses certain other portions, and re
tained for himself the remainder, and
this act was ratified by his legislature
on June 7, 1818. Tho lands thus passed
to the King and his heirs were thence
known as Crown lands.
In 1850, one-twcntlcth of all pub
lic lands were set apart for tho sup
port of schools, which tho school board
was cmpoweicd to sell and lease. Un
der tho homestead act of 1881 landless
, applicants were permitted to acquire
title to two acres of taro, or wet lands,
and 'not moro than twenty acres of dry
land.
In 18D1 a part of the Crown lands
was divided-Into small tracts, and tho
method of leasing them to homestead
applicants on easy terms was Instltut
( cd..
In tho year 1895, after the Republic
of Hawaii had been established, tho
Legislature passed an Act. designated
rb tho "Land Act. 1595," which now
remains in force, and which provides a
comprehensive tj-stom for tho cure anil
disposition of the public domain. By
this act Crown lands aro treated as
having vested In tho Republic, and
they, together with the public lands
before mentioned, now constitute th
public lands of tho Territory.
The absolute feo nnd ownership of
all public. Government, or Crown lands
situated In Hawaii wero absolutely
ceded t5, und became tbo property of,
tho United States upon the annexation
of tho Hawaiian Islands.
In Hawaii a better syBtcm of sur
veys appears to havo been followed
than In tho Philippines.
From the data received at this ofllco
from Honolulu the following facts are
gathered:
Tho original Crown tracts thcro wero
scattered, and varied In slzn from a
quarter koctlon to lands embracing sev
eral townships.
In tho Island of Maul, points of trl
angulations havo been established at
Intervals of a few mile and tho isl
and divided Into thirteen districts, ir
regularly shaped- and unequal in ex
tent, each having a name, such as
Kuln, and each having a sea front
These districts are divided Into suh
districts, with native designations, tho
subdlBtrlcts each (In nearly every
case) having also n tea front, nnd tho
boundary lines of which nro mostly at
right angles to the shore lino. Sub
dlstrlcts aro mapped as "grants,"
"uwards," "Government." "Crown,"
etc., side by side, throughout tho Isl
and. Portions of these districts are
taken embracing 15 or 20 subdlstrlcts,
such as Is shown on a map of Nalilku
coffco lands, and resubdlvlslon lines
arn run cutting up tho lands Into
tracts averaging 200 acres each, by
College Hills
During tho dull times of tho
past eight months
110 LOTS
havo been sold at
COLLEGE'HILLS.
Tbo prlco paid for theso
110 lota was
$146,375.00
Bomo of tlfcso Iota havo
bcon sold nt on ndvanco of
from 25 to CO per cent.
No buyers at College, Hills

lines at right angles to tho sea, ex
tending toward the Interior as far as
a highway road ami the resulting lots
cut Into two lots, each averaging 100
acres, marked consecutively, tho one
fronting upon tbo sea, tho other upon
the road, so that each lot will havo
cither a road or the sea an ono of Its
boundary lines. Tbo Bide lines In nil
theso lottlngs follow the trend of the
hills and embrace the full length of
tho streams.ln tho subdlstrlct divisions.
For tho purpose of disposals such re
subdivisions aro suitable and proper,
and. In the absence of rectangles built
upon mcrldlnnal lines, serve to provide
available troclB for coffee plantations
or other purposes. They could, how
ever, have been formed Into rcctnn
glc, as In our own system, anil the
tracts mado equally available.
In the ease t the island of 1 J awn II
the plan seems to hajo bun to talio an
arable tract whenever lands are called
for nnd divide the samo Into lots of
square or rcctnngulnr form of 30 acre?
each.
In tho district or province of Puna.
Jn this Island, a subdlstrlct or reserva
tion named Olna wns divided Into such
blocks, corresponding to our 10-ncro
tracts. Thcro was first n broad high
way laid out' through tho tract (In
this caio It was the road from Hllo to
the volcano of Kllauca), and this road
was crossed by other roads nt right
nnales at certain Intervals, so thnt II
resulted In each lot having an outlet
on a road. Thcro were 400 lots In this
subdivision, to which wag added later
400 more on the samo plan.
On tho island of Molokal subdivi
sions sometimes embiace several thou
sand acres (so divided for purposes of
leasing, each tract having a sea front.
On the Island of Onhu tho smme con
ditions prevail as on Maul and other
islands.
The, rcctangultr system primarily In
tended to be adopted for our extensive
western domain Is well adapted to all
areas of land embracing mora than
10,000 acres, but Its applicability to the
lands acquired from Spain would ap
pear to depend upon information about
the Islands obtainable only as the re
sult of patient and laborious investiga
tion by competent and reliable expert?.

Captain Henri Bcrgcr, Hawaiian
bandmaster,, Is delighted to hear of the
election of Eugene E. Schmlti as May
or of San Francisco. For the two nro
bosom friends and, besides. Captain
Burger, both as friend and an ancient
union- man, aided Mr. Schmltz In his
gloriously successful campaign. While,
on his recent vacation trip In San
Francisco ho wcdt out with tho candi
date nearly every night anil spieled
for him occasionally on the platform.
All Honolulu will be glad of tho elec
tion of the veteran bandmaster's
friend to tho exalted position of Mayor
of the Pacific Coast metropolis. What
ever pleases Captain Derger cannot fall
short of adding to the sum of this com.
munlty's happiness. Indeed, If tho
people of Honolulu tried to bo unhap
py, the musical captain would foil the
attempt. An extra band concert, or (
few selections "by request," would turn
tho ilarkrst Hawaiian atmosphere Into
iridescent gleaming.

REPORT OF GOVERNOR
FOR THE TERRITORY
WAS MADE BY COOPE!
Washington, November 3. Authority for the conversion of all Hawaiian silver coins Into corresponding
cclnc of the United States, and for the Immigration of a limited number of Chines; laborers, conditioned upon
their engaging In agricultural pursuits only during their residence In the Territory and tholr return to their own
country upon ceasing to be farmers, are the recommendations of H. E. Coo. er, Acting Governor of Hawaii, in
hla annual report.
Other recommendations are for the maintenance of an expert forester In the Islands, to Investigate and
report on forest conditions and forestry conservation and extension; the d.-tall of a special agent of the Floli
Ccmmlcslon at Honolulu, and the adoption of restrictive measures to prevent wanton destruction of tho food
fishes of the Territory; tho granting licenses to divert water from lards, where It lo of no avail, to arid sec
tions that owners arc adapting to agricultural pursuits; the erection of a Fcdcial building at Honolulu for tho
accommodation of the Federal Court, Pcstofflce, Custom house and Federal officials; tho retention from the
customs receipts of a sufficient oum to pay Judgments of the Commission or Fire Clalrr.c: the gathering of statis
tics to'chow the shipments between the Mainland and the islands, ard the appointment of a deputy secretary -to
act during the disability of the Secretary of the Treasury for Territorial pui poses only.
Tho prosperity of the Islands, a-cordlng to the Acting Governor, depends upon the successful and econom
ical production of sugar. "I he employment of Chinese and Japanese by t..e planters," he says, "never has Inter
fered and never will interfere with either American skilled or unskilled labor; but If an amplo supply of desir
able labor can be obtained It means mlllont of dollars spent for machinery, buildings, tolls, steel and Iron and
other supplies of American make.
"Since the annexation the Immigration of unskilled laborers has practically ceased, while many of the Chi
nese and Japanese have returned to their native countries. Between June 14, 1900, and August 31, 1901, 4079
Japanese have left the Territory, whllo only 589 have arrived. All sugar plantation stocks consequently have
fallen far below their former value, and this has had the effect of producing a stringency in the money market,
from which many have .suffered lots.
"If no relief It forthcoming the most disastrous results surely will follow. It Is a physleal Impossibility for
the Anglo-8axon race to satisfactorily perform the severe labor required In the sugar fields. Hawaii, therefore,
it entitled 'to legislation favorable to Ita greatest Industry." .... .

BRIGHT FROSPECTS FOR REPUBLICAN PARTY
New York, November 6. A special to the Brooklyn Eanla from Washington says: The general result of
yesterday's election Is regarded by political leaders hero as meaning that tha tide tnat c:t toward tne Republican
patty ard Its policies seven years aga still flows in that direction, though wltn lessened foice. They arguo
that as no sign of an ebbing of the tide Is visible this year, nono will be th-co years her.ee, and that therelore
President Roosevelt's successor, whet ,er hlrr.sslf or another, will be a Republican. Already they are attempting
to forecast tne effect of yesterday's results upon his fortunes and wondeiinj wnether It mcars tnat, he will be the
tit st Vice President succeeding to ths Presidency by the death of his chief ta be nominated by his party as his
own successor a nomination that thty assert will be equivalent to elcctbn.
A powerful factor in tho situation is the evident Inaollity of the Democratic party to find an Issue upon
which they can unite or a man who can unite them, regardless of issues. Or course, this condition continues
In the Democratic party it will work to the advantage of whomsoever the R publicans may rame.
The party leaders of both sides at this time, viewing the situation In the light of tne late elections as they
appear to them here at the national caiital, assume, as practical politicians, that the conditions under wnlch the
next Presidential campalon will be contested, will be substantially those trut now prevail, and tnr.- tnlt ueing the
case inc ncpuoucans win win.
