Another set of eight rollers are
provided to support the lens when
the mercury is taken out and also
to overcome any rolling tendency

On the inner, lower edge of the
lens crown piece is the rack gear
by which the lens is driven. This
rack gear is engaged with a pinion
on the end of the vertical main
clock drive shaft which extends up
through the inside of the pedestal
from its base where is located the
weight driven clock.
' The clock is driven by a com
pound rigged fall carrying 500 lbs.
weight which gives a pull of 125
lbs. upon tne clock drum. When
wound up, the clock will operate
the apparatus at precise time for a
period of 3'2 hours after which it
again requires winding. When in
operation, the lens will revolve at
the rate of one revolution everv 2o

SOMETHING NEW li
THE LAND LAW '
QUESTION
A Ruling That is Likely to Prove
Unpopular Among Local
Homesteaders
A-25-ACRE FACTORY SITE
Governor is Asked to Explain
A Few Things Concerning
Land Matters
The famous "Kapaa Lands" are
at last before the public and will
actually be opened. However,
there seems to be a nigger 111 the
woodpile in tact a whole family
of them. It may appear to the
reader, that in dealing with this
land question, I am always on
dress parade with a chip on my
shoulder that I am a "knocker."
But I am not. I simply want to
see fairplay. In the advertisement
appearing in this paper, ic states
pretty plainly that no settlement
association can be formed. Well,
just the same, there is a settle- 4,
nient association, a n d Here is
where the "niggers" live. Supt
Sterritt came over last week,
bringing along a number of those
who are among the favored few
who forms the "exclusive" set
composing the association, and
for whom lots from 1 to 168 have
been withdrawn. The governor

grow out of an attempt to Have
justice done. It certainly does
seem strange that the land depart
ment can't get down to bed-rock
and do things in a manner above
criticism, In this instance, it de
clares against hoinesteadiug by a
certain agreement, and virtually
cuts out a proposition of this , kind
when our local men are concerned,
but apparently grants special
privileges to outsiders. The pub
lic is anxious to gef on the inside
o f the w o r k s and i f I am
seeing things in their true light,
there is this consolation I have
plenty of company.
Then, too, the site for the new
pineapple factory for Kapaa is
attracting atteniou. The company
wants no "less than 25 acres. I
know that the factory is to be one
of immense size but it is not likely
to ever spread over that area of
and. It is barely possible, How-
ever, mat as tne pineapple minis
try grows, there will be other
factories spring up, and in case
the land is all owned by the pres
ent concern, the new business
would have no room for wharfage
and would therefore be subjected
to terms of the original company,
etc. I cannot see where more
than five acres of beach should be
sold to any one firm. If 25 acres
they must have, let it run back
from the beach. 1 he beach be
longs to the people and the govern
ment should use every precaution
to preserve it, or as much of it as
possible for them.
