One gate has boen placed acroM the road where the Parser rancn aa jolns the Wood property, and the otkr l located at the opposite end of the Parker holdings.

Dassell and his party, going by automobile to Kawalhae, say they . r ctAoned and lnsoected. An Am erican citizen named Bori, who runs a garage at Hawi, was to have joined Dassell and party at Kawalhae. Bori hs light hair and iooks use a uer man.

His letter asks that no action be taken on the bill until the farmers of Hswail are beard from. The letter says: "Chairman, Committee on Territories, "House of Representatives, "Washington, D. C. -Dear Sir: "Much to my astonishment I have Just learned from a newspaper that the Delegate from Hawaii has Intro duced a bill. House Bill 4722, concern ing the public land of Hawaii, and that the Commissioner of Public Lands, Hon. B. G. Rivenburgh, has appeared before the Committee to advocate the passage of the bill. "No Information concerning the bill has, before this time, been given in the papers here, and I wish to ask your committee not to take favorable action on it until copies can be gotten here and some expression of opinion be sent you from the plain farmers of the Islands who are most -vitally interested in this matter. "From the newspaper reports the provisions of this bill seem to be much the same as those of Senate Concur rent Resolution No. 14 of the 191 Session of the Legislature of Hawaii, which 'was defeated by the House of Representatives. This resolution we plain farmers believed to be thoroly bad. and a subterfuge on the part of the sugar Interests here to defeat legitimate ' homesteading. The same Senate that passed it defeated every measure advanced by the farmers and passed by the House looking to the furthering of legitimate homesteading and small farming in. the Territory. I refer particularly to our legislature's H. B. 24, The Farm Loan Act for Hawaii, and H B. 123, providing for Homestead Lease with Rental. . ln oUr last legislature the House represented the people, the Senate was sugar controlled. The House re fused to concur in the Senate Resolu tion referred to, and the appearances are that the sugar people hare car ried their efforts to the national cap! tol rery quietly hoping to gain their point there before .we realized what they were about -Wtf realize the evils that hare taken place in .homesteading here, There may be some need for a change in the law, tho a strict enforcement of the law as it exists would go a lona war towards dlscouraxlnsT "fake' homesteading. We thought a change was needed and advocated H. B. 128. referred to above, which the Senate killed. .Under this bill the govern ment wontd always retain title, the bometteadcr must continuously reside on the homestead, and. the gorernment would receive perpetual rental of 4 per cent cTtVe raid of! the land. Each a mtf&cAct homesteading wookl protect the- gorernment fully from both the sugar Interests and the fake homesteader, and .votud give the legit imate ' ometUader '' every possible chance; vThe 'method used . in New Zealand is rert1 similar to this, and has been successful' there? ' But any change 'in the.law wjtich Would take the power toiTeQulre'.'tha opening up of the land out of "the hands of the people,; where it 'now -is- under that clause of the Organic 'Act which be gins, "Whenerer twenty-nre or more persons. would be acalamity to the Americanization fv .the : islands, tor one of the greatest,; aids to that Am ericanization will be the establishment of a contented and prosperous rural citizen population.- : r Te ask delay v until .wr can cet cosies of H.

Against the statements made by Uoore Is the emphatic declaration of Commissioner RivenDurgn in Wash ington that' the changes asked are to protect bona fide homesteaders and nreservT the gorernment land. He specifically denied that the amend menu-are for, the sake of the planta tions; If the board of agriculture and for estry decides to turn T. F. Farm's cattle back to him , after they . bare been kept for a certain time in quar antine at 'the station on Ala Moans road, : the . dairyman will probably accept them. This was stated today by Attorney W. -W. Thayer, representing Mr. Farm in the matter. Thayer aaya the attitude ,he and his client hare held consistently Is i;that of abiding by whaterer decision the board makea If a suitable place for the cattle can not be found, the owner will prob ably sell them. ' The whole thing Is so much in the future, however." says Attorney Thayer, "that it is difficult to state lust what will be done. As I under stand -it the board does not know how long It will keep charge of the herd, and our actions likewise will hinge 1 on development." Another -cow died at the anthrax Infected dairy yesterday evening, but not of anthrax. Mr. Thayer says he is informed by Territorial Veterina rian 1 Norgaard that a weakened con dittos contributed largely to her death. She had been running, on green teed with the other cattle.
