Frear Hard After
Official Who Call
Hawaii "Possession"
Governor Frear is going hard aft
er tho seml-ofnctals In Washington,
who have been classing Hawaii as a
mere "possession." Hawaii is a Ter
ritory of tho United States, and the
Chief i:ecutlve Is trying to Impress
this on the minds of thoso who have
attempted to cut her out of her rights
as such. Ho states in his letter of
tho 14 th bb follows:
"I am soon to seo the Postmaster
General In the matter ot the postal
agreement with Kngland. The Third
Assistant Postmaster hit us on the
penalty envelopes for election and
other things."

lljdrograpblc survey ot tho entire
Territory ls now assured. Governor
Frear Bald as follows In his letter to
Acting Governor Mott-Smlth:
"At a meeting of the 'directors of
tho Reclamation Service and Geolog
ical Suney and Chiefs ot Geological
and Geographical nnd Hydrographlc
divisions of the Geological divisions,
and none If this afternoon, we decided
that the Chief of Hydrography should
roon go to Hawaii and start work."
The Governor's letter was wiltten
under date ot .December 14. Land
Commissioner Pratt was present
when the foregoing extract rom tho
letter was read, and he Immediately
expressed his gratification at the
news.
, "It means a big thing for the Ter
ritory," Bald Pratt. "There are two
things that the Territory has lackc)
and felt the luck of for a long time.
The first of theso Is, ot course, a gen
eral hydrographlc survey, showing nil
the wnterwajs, rivers, streams, har
bors, etc., on tho various Islands. In
the old survejs of a fow jears ago,
surface measurements merely -were
given. When wo opened up lands
under theso old surveys tt was a pret
ty hard proposition to know the ex
act character ot the land unless a per
sonal Inspection could bo had.
"Tho new lodrographlc survey will
show tho contour of the land, the
character of the soil, and all of tho

many other little essentials, which,
though they may appear trifling, are
of inestimable value when tho land
Is put up for sate.
"The second need which has affect
ed the Territory Is the lack ot a sui-
ey for classification. This will bo
done when t'io Chief of Hydrography
gets down to bjal.ie-j In theso isl
ands. The survey for classification
will tell how, much sugar cane land
there Is here, how much land aultablo
for sisal, for pineapple cultivation,
and for agricultural purposes. Tho
aiue or this is apparent. When a
man from the Stntos writes mo now,
asking how much pineapple land or
how much sisal land wo have here, I
am positively not In a position to tell
him. I can glte htm approximate fig
ures, to be sure, but we want exact
facts to go out of here with regard to
the Islands, and the survey for clas
sification will giro them to us."
