History of Ring" pamphlet from the press
of Stephen Berry, is causing quite futter
about towr. 1t treats of railroads, subject
in which Portland is popularity supposed to have
considerable interest, and the story it tells ia
not altogether an unfamiliar one. The scope
of the pamphlet may be judged from the fol-

| To THE EDITOR OF THE HAWAIIAN GAZETTE:
DEAR sIR:-I am very glad to observe that both
the GAZETTE and Adrertiser have brought their bat
teries to bear upon object too long tolerated in
midst by both the Authorities and citizens of
once remarkably healthy city, which every. casual
observer have become convinced is becoming less
every year from lack of absolutely necessary sap
tary precautions.
While considering the subject. have failed to see
the feasibility Of remedy heretofore ordinarily
applied to more populous and wealthy cities by
means of sewers. for the reason. first, that city
has not the consistently meet the great
pense of such system of underground sewage as
would meet the erigeucy of the case, and am not
convinced Of the equity of making the public
ry to defray it.
Second, there is not in my opinion sufficient incline
to carry of the fecuent accumulatiOns of the city
without the aid Of water, which at present have
not to spare for that purpose.
But think there is a very simple and inexpensive
by which the noxious. fearful and pestilential
evil now existing may he completely reuedied.
The plan would propose, and which is based
upon experience of more than thirty in Ho-
nolulu,-is for the Interior Department to provide
moderate sized shed building in central losation,
fill it with dry earth which is at hand and abundant.
procure from the ASSESSORS books or otherwise list
of property holders lessees or oecupyers of dwelling
places in the city. and require all to take from said
repository of earth. sufficiently often, and in quantity
sufficient keep their premises free from the foul

EUCALYPTUS PLASTISG.-The Central Pacific Rail.
road Company has arranged to have 1000 eucalyp-
tus trees set out along 500 miles OF The right of way
OF the company. This right of way embraces fifty
feet each side of the track aud thus ample is
afforded Tor removing the trees to proper distance
from the tracks TO shield them from the effects of
passing trains. The work of setting out these trees
is to be prosecuted under the supervision of J. r.
Scupham. The first trees will be placed along the
line of the California Pacific Railroad. The species
known as the eucalyptus globulus will be used in
this work, aud the trees come from the nursery OF
G. c. Baxter, Alameda county. The object of this
plan to note what effect the planting of these trees
will have upon the climate. 1t is the theory that
large numbers ofthem will increase the humidity of
the atmosphere and lessen the liability droughs.
The deuudiug of hills of their timber, and the clear
ing away OF forests has direct effect upon climste,
as is well established, and the intention now is to
see how far artificial means will be effective in
storing the balance believed 10 have been lost 10y

tered groups of valley In this connection il is
to be noted that the Directory OF the Good Tempars
Horne for Orphans at Vallejo has now in pIo!rcss
the working of setting out 5000 Of the eucalyptus
globuus upon the grounds OF the home, which will
make quite forest when the trees shall be fairly
grown. The very low price at which these trees
are to be obtained, nominal figure indeed, and the
actior of the Central Pacific Railroad Company has
stimulated the inquiry why it would not be
an excellent stroke OF policy for this city TO secure
least 5000 GGOO OF these trees at once, the
time for transplantug is good, to be placed by the
city or citizens who will for them until we'll
