THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER : HOSfOIUTid, MAY 19, 1894. ... - n - inn,i nf "Waiakea. - It Also oil ine vruwii - estimated that there are between 20, S)S and 30,000 acres of coffee land in this hborhood at present inaccessibly If th I projects carried out, arrangements mllht be made with the Waiafcea Mill 5?lg " , ioOOOU v,v which all of the ;7rnVu ofthe land o," VVaea, above the cane belt, coaldbe mad avail able for settlement.

A striking illustration of this is the land of Olaa, near ililo, which, until very recently, . was generally considered mostly rocky and of little value as agricultural land. Now this is one of the most, valuable of the Crown Lands and promises to be the largest coffee producing land on the isl and of Hawaii. . For the reasons above given, no little difficulty has had to be overcome in ascertaining their approximate value. Sufficient information is at band, how ever, to form a fairly correct approxima tion of their value, which, for present purposes might be deemed sufficient. In the pursuit of this particular work this office has received the kind assistance of Mr. J. F. Brown, of the Government survey, who is a good and experienced judge of Hawaiian land values. ' A description of all the lands accom panies this report, which, though far from being complete, furnishes a very good idea of their general character and the uses to which they might be put. This work has occupied much time and labor, and it is to be hoped that it will constitute the basis of an extended and complete investigation as to the future possibilities and adaptation of these lands for settlement and agricultural de velopment. . CEOWN LAND REVENUE. , The revenue i3 derived entirely from rents and amounts as of March 31, 1894, to $49,268 75 annually, or for the two troara Q Kfl.

The rent roll shows the leases from which the present revenue is derived, with the names of. lessees, date of leases, term of years, annual rentals, and the lands .held under each lease. It will be seen that quite a number of the lands, the more valuable .ones, are held for long terms of years and in many instances the rents fall far below the prevailing market rates. The following cases will serve to illustrate this : t a a o s L rT P t n E (h B 5 i rS-3 : 2? S m O O to ZZZZ s- 2.

Of the present revenue, $49 268 7o', the earn of $46,634.25 has been collected, leaving rents remaining due and unpaid on March 31st last, $2632.50, nearly all of which being for an advance period. ...

Lawl-rr, who is Ipoken of as the western candidate for the position of commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, has the unprece dented record of having been elect ed and installed for 26 consecutive terms as com mander of Kev ins Post, No. 1, at Rockford, Ills. celebrated his silver jubilee at hi3 installation in colonel lawler. 1893, and promi nent members of the order from all part3 of the' country were present to as sist at the ceremonies and offer their congratulations. He will have many friends at the next national encamp ment, which meets in Pittsburg during the week beginning Sept. 10 next, and not a few of them are confident of his election to the highest dignity in the or ganization. Colonel Lawler served throughout the war with the famous Nineteenth regi xnent of Illinois volunteers and gained an honorable record as a soldier. He was in all the battles in which his regiment took part and was mustered out as first ser geant with the brevet of captain. His title of colonel came to him through his connection with the national guard, in which he served for a dozen years or more. 'After the war he went to work for his father-in-law, who was a miller, and was driving one of the mill teams when he was elected and appointed post master of Rockford. The secret of the unusual procedure of electing a postmaster lay m the fact that there was such a scramble for the office that no one seemed able to decide who should have it,, and it was decided to, leave the matter to a popular vote. Colo nel Lawler won by a large majority and held the office for two terms prior to Cleveland's first administration, when he vacated it in favor of a Democrat, only to be, reappointed by President Har rison without the formality of a petition and without opposition. He took to poli tics naturally and soon achieved promi nence in his party. Ete was a close friend of General John A. Logan, whom he greatly admired and closely resembles. Colonel Lawler was born in England of Irish parents 50 years ago and has lived in Rockford since he was 10 years old. PRESENTED AT COURT. Something About the Honor Conferred Upon Mr. Bayard's PrlTate Secretary. The correspondent who went to the trouble and expense of cabling the dis patch -from London to the American pa pers about the extraordinary diplomacy required to secure the presentation to the queen of Lloyd Griscom of Philadel phia, Mr. Bayard's private secretary, is evidently -not very well acquainted at the American embassy. According to the dispatch, Mr. Griscom's position is not of the official kind that entitles hirn to presentation as a matter afcourse, and Mr. Bayard was only able toarrange it by introducing the young man to Lord Rosebery and having him dine with his lordship, who then benig,nantly arranged for the private secretary's presentation at some drawing room in the near fu ture. Inquiry at the American embassy would have informed the enterprisin correspondent that Mr. Griscom was en CD titled to presentation as a member of our embassador's official family, and that as a matter of fact he had .been presented last May without the necessity for re sorting to any official circumlocution. His predecessors in the position of eecre- LLOYD GRISCOM. tary have always been presented as a matter of course, and it is quite possible that some cf them would have been glad to escape the fuss and feathers attendant upon that rather dismal ceremony. But Mr. Griscom would probably have found presentation easy enough for him if he had held no official position at all. 'Most people do for whom an embassa dor is willing to vouch, and even with out the advantage of personal acquaint ance Mr. Bayard would probably have been quite willing to indorse Mr. Gris com, who is descended from two famous Philadelphia families and whose father's name is written at the very top of the Quaker City's roll of enterprising citi zens. Clement A. Griscom. president of the International Navigation company and founder of the American line of ocean steamers, is the young secretary's fa ther, and his mother's maiden name was Frances Canby Biddle. No higher rec ommendation than that furnished by such family names as these could bo asked by an American embassador even at such an exclusive and funereal court a3 that of St. James.

He is now in his twentieth year and is making from $65 to $75 a week selling newspapers. The Daily Advertiser, 75 cents a month.
