DIRECTOR NEWELL WILL EXAM
INE POSSIBILITIES OP LAND RE
CLAMATION ON THE ISLAND.
Secretary Mott-Smith has just com
pleted tho arrangements for Gover
nor Frear, Director Newell -and party"
to visit tho island of Molokai. They
will not go to the Settlement at all
but will make tho trip simply to allow
Mr. Newell to see tho exceptionally
fine opportunity for the reclamation
of arid land existing on the island.
Perhaps tho most Important place
in all the Islands for Mr. Newell to
seo is tho section .of Molokai where
the American Sugar Company made
such a failure. It will be 'remember
ed that the failure was due to the
fact that when the company tried to
obtain water from artesian wells, it
was'so brackish that it cou"ld not bo
used for irrigation of cane. The hills
behind this land, however, have plen
ty of water and it is believed that by
the establishment of a proper system
of dams and ditches, Irrigation could
be provided that would reclaim for
agricultural purposes nearly G0.200
acres of land which is now good only
for grazing.
The majority of this land Is under
leaso at present, much of It being in
one large crown lease which dates
back to 1888 and. docs not expire till
1918. It will probably bo somo time'
before any money for reclamation
can be obtained from the Federal
Government, so it may be possible
that this will bo one of tho first
schemes which Mr. Newelft service
will tako up.
Tho trip to Maul will be made on
the Mikahala, which will touch at La
haina for tho party when it comes
back from Hawaii on tho Mauna Kea
on October 17. They will bo landed
at Kaunakakai and then bo picked up
again in time to bring them to this
city on October 20.

ous candidates for the Legislature

REVELATIONS IN WAILUKU WATER INJUNCTION CASE OPEN WAY
FOR GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH CLAIM ON CERTAIN PRIVATE
WATER RIGHTS ADVERSE TO
AGREEMENTS TO BE PUT IN
The Territory seems likely to be the
gainer as the result of the' Injunction
suit brought against It by the Wai
luku Sugar Company to prevent it
from taking more water from Iao Val
ley and the Walluku stream. As tlie
result of tho Investigation which has
just been completed by Acting Attor
ney General W. L. Whitney the Wal
luku Sugar Company will probably
lose a large 'amount of water which it
has been getting for eight years and
to which It would get full title after
two years more. The suit has caused
tnls fact to become known and the
Territory will Immediately take steps
to obtain title to this water which It
would have been barred from In an
other twenty-four months.

Will Sheriff Iaukea resign at the end of the present month?
Many people think that if the sheriff continues his announcements
and does not break faith with himself and with the public this may be
expected. In the Advertiser tho following appeared yesterday morn-
Ing: '
"With tho nominations of Charles Rose, chief clerk for deputy
sheriff; Dan Kamahu, receiving clerk, for supervisor; and John
Prendergast, for a county ofllce, comes the announcement from Koo-
lau, that their resignations aro expected at tho end of the present
month." "
In this morning's paper Iaukea and "Bonnie" Mansarrat are an-
nounced as Independent candldatesfor Sheriff and deputy. Tho ques-
tlon now conies, will Iaukea force his subordinates to resign and keep
to his promises, will bo resign himself and keep faith, or will bo break
all promises and stay In tho field for offlco and also still stay in offlco?

WAILUKU SUGAR COMPANY ORAL
WRITING.
When tho Walluku water works
wero started about eight years ago the
Territory had ceitaln water rights in
Iao Valley and from the Walluku
stream but tho majority of the water
taken was from private rights which
ran to houses to which the Territory
promised to pipe water. In considera
tion of the relinquishment of this wa
ter to the Territory tho water for uso
on this land was given through the
Government system freo of charge,
whilo those who had no water rights
havo had to pay for it. Naturally tho
right to have free water from taps
in his house would appeal to a man

LAND
The political situation In Honolulu
today is more chaotic than over. Ad
miral George C. Beckley announced
himself today as a candidate for treas
urer, Independent, joining with Carlos
Long for County attorney and Iaukea
for sheriff.
Tho situation Is regarded by many as
pointing to almost a loss of party lines.
Long's coming out as an independent
candidate for county atttorney is re
garded by most political observers as
a result of the fact that two haoles
wero on tho two opposing regular tick
ets. Similarly where two whites, Von
Holt and Trent, are opposed on the
other tlckots, Beckley steps in as a
Hawaiian candidate. In all this tho
party managers nre at sea. There is
so much seeming political dishonor
that, as ono party leader put it, '-It
will soon seem useless to hold conven
tions or niako agreements." For exam
ple, In tho minds of somo of tho dele-i
gates to tho Republican convention, a
part of tho price of the Lano nomina
tion for mayor, was tho Long with
drawal from the county attorney fight.
Yet withm a week Long Is out "Inde
pendent." Iaukea and Long will both havo tho
Civic Federation and Anti-Saloon Lea
gue support, according to street talk,
though a prominent Civic Federation
leader today spoke in favor of Wise for
sheriff. Opinions differ as to.who will
suffer by tho Independent candidacies.
It seems to be the opinion of a ma
jority of tho politicians that Iaukea

will draw votes about equally from
Wise and Jarrett and that Long's
strength will come from votes that
would have been for Cathcart. Beckley
Is not regarded very seriously as yet.
The candidacy of Long has revived
the race talk more than ever. Long's
well known Intimacy with tho Kuhlo-Lane-Colbum
clement, gives the mat
ter an unpleasant appearance to many,
and no man was over more bitterly
asaslled for bad faith than Long Is be
ing assailed now. "Long simply told
Kuhlo and all the rest of the leaders
to go to h- - I," said Chllllngworth In
speaking of the atiornoy-s butting Into
tho fight. Long's friends say that he
has received Important pledges of sup
port. At any rate he has revived tho
race Issue and boomed It beyond prece
dent. Republican campaign plans aro a
good deal disturbed by the Illness of A.
L. C. Atkinson, chairman of the Terri
torial Committee. It appears to be
worse than a temporary Indisposition,
of a nature Indeed to threaten Mr. At
kinson's ability to take any further
part In the campaign. Last night ho
had a high temperature and tho symp
toms Indicated an attack of bronchi
tis. Mr. Atkinson at all events cannot
