THE GOVERNMENT ARCHIVES AND
NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY.

The wisdom and good judgment
of the Legislature during the pres
ent session has not asserted itself
more conspicuously than in it's
passage yesterday of an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the Preservation
and Arrangement of the Govern
ment Archives and the Preparation
of photography of the Hawaiian
Kingdom" 1t is a matter for sim
cere congratulation that this APP
preparation was lifted above all
party considerations and was
passed solely upon its own merits.
1t is subject that appealed to the
national pride of our Mobiles and
Representatives, as we'll as to their
appreciation of the natural fitness
of things. Not voice was heard
against the measure, and it was
passed by a unanimous vote.
The appropriation was suggested
on the oath of June by His Excel
lency the Minister Of Foreign At
fairs, and on his motion was re-
ferred at once to the Committee on
Foreign Relations. The Chairman
of this Committee, the Hon. E. c..
Macfarlane, presented to the Leg
islature one of the most elaborate
and valuable reports that has
been issued during the sitting of
the Legislature. The report was
signed by all the members of the
Committee, and the members of
the Legislature showed their appre-
citation Of its value by ordering it
to be printed. The action of the
Legislature in passing this appro-
priation will be approved by every
intelligent citizen of our country.
The national archives for
many years have been in the
most disgraceful condition, and
have fast been going to
destruction. They furnish the
chief source of our national his
tory, and their rescue from further
injury is, therefore, of the highest
Importance. The preparation Of
a national photography is also q
measure that commends itself tC
the good sense and judgment Of
everyone who is interested in the
history and development of the
Nation. 1t will be a mine o.
wealth of the highest practical
value to every professional and
business man in the land.
We have hitherto expressed oul
appreciation Of the value of the
services which Chaplain Hoes has
already rendered the country in
examining and arranging the
national archives and in prescott
ing his labors relating to the Ha.
waiian photography. We regard
it as a matter of congratulatior
that the passage of yesterdays
appropriation will insure the pro
tracted stay of Chaplain Hoes il
Honolulu, and that his historical
labors will be continued under the
patronage of the government.

HILO SODA WORKS co.

A L THE ANNUAL MEETING
L \ Of this Company held at their Office on the
ith day OF July, a. D. 1922, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year, viz

year and a half, under the personal
supervision of Mr.. Henry (. Cooper,
who came to the islands for that
purpose. Mr.. Cooper is well quail
fed for his position as manager OF
the company by reason of his pre-
vious experience in this particular
business, he having been appointed |
attorney for the San Diego Land |
and Town Company at its organi-
cation, and as such having exam
ined and passed upon the title to
all the property of that company,
amounting to between six and
seven millions of dollars. After
several years service with the COM
pany he left its employ, and organ
lied the Abstract and Title Insur-
ance Company of San Diego, acting
as its treasurer and manager until
a short time before coming to this
country.
In the course of the work every
record in the Office Of the Registrar
Of Conveyances has been examined,
and a memorandum of the essen
tial parts of each document has
been made and transcribed in the
books Of the company. The islands
of Hawaii and Maui have been
visited, and the probate records of
each island gone through with
from beginning to end, and brief
transcript of all the proceedings
has been entered in the books of
the company and properly indexed,
so that the conditions of all titles
that have been prObated on those
islands may be readily ascer-
tanned. A like transcript of
the probate records of the
islands of Oahu and Kauai
will soon be added to the records
of the company. This is in itself
a most important work, when it is
considered that the bulk of the
real estate of a country changes
hands by devise or descent once in
about every thirty years.
By the system used by the com
pany in compiling its records
every defect in a title becomes al
once apparent, so that certificate
as issued by the company is prac
tically an absolute assurance thai
the title is perfect.
Although as the records now
stand many titles are shown to b.
imperfect, the majority Of then
{ might be perfected by the execu
ton of proper conveyances.
Real estate being considered tn,
{ principal basis of wealth of /:

little attention has been paid t

condition of the records at thi
time. 1t can hardly be said tina

OYSTERS AND SEEDS

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. ANY one can tell worth
less oyster on opening it. The value Of
a seed must be determined by its growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability of
the firm from which you buy.

FILING OF LOCATION NorloEs.

There seems to be quite Il wide
spread diversity of opinion as to
the time when filings can be made
on government lands after the sur
vey is completed AS there are
many in this vicinity who are, they
find, ON government land and are
anxious to make their filings as
soon as possible we give the differ
ent steps necessary to take before
such filing can be made. The
surveyor in this case, Mr.. A. ID.
Robinson, sends to the surveyor
general a transcript of his notes;
on the filing of this note the land
department sends some one to ex-
anime the survey and attest to its
accuracy. The encouragement
then has plats issued which are af-
ter their issue approved by an Off
Ger of the department from the
notes on file. The plats are then
sent to Washington, where they
are approved by the land commits
sioner. After being thus approved
the commissioner notifies the local
land Office of the approval and au-
thorizes the local land office to adj
vertise that on a certain day the
land embraced in such plat will be
open for filing. The main cause of
delay in the matter arises from the
necessity of the examination Of the
survey. The very shortest time IN
which location notices can be filed
would be six months and it may
be much longer.

The company has just completed for the
property owners on West street between
Ninth and Tenth fine line of dressed
Slnch curbing, some pieces being Is feet
in length. This, with the brick pavement
being put down by the Street and Sewer
Department will make this one of the
handsonest blocks i'll the city. 1t would
add greatly to the appearance of Delaware

most approved manner if the property
owners would initiate the example of their
West street neighbors and add new curb.

THE FISH-HAWK AND ITS PREY.
How the Swift-fiyer Secures Its
Food from the Sea.

Darling Down apd Impaling Fish OH It's
uns--sonetiInes the Fish is Too Big
and the ISird Loses Its Life in the Water
--On the Beach at Ueniopen city.
Special Correspondence OF Gazette and Journal
CAPE HESLopEE CRY, Aug. 1l.-One of
the most interesting sights here, aside
from the constantly changing sea and
shore, is provided byt he fish hawks which
abound along this shore and ply their fish
hunting business along. the beach TO the
great interest of the ciCy's summer poL lla-
tian, or such OF them as have eyes and
appreciation for the sights which nature
kindly supplies to them along the sea and
shore. But as natural history, unlike the
weather, is not worn threadbare, and as
the stay-at-homes might like to learn
something, perhaps it would not come
anliss in this seashorc letter to relate some
thing Of nrnithological as well as ichthyo-
logical interest.
The tish-hawks are about the size of q
medium-size blizzard, and have their nests
in the tops of very tail trees, about mile
or more back from the shore, where they
are all summer most industriously engaged
increasing perpetuatingt their species.
1t Is said that they hatch and sit on only
two eggs At time, presumably because of
the difficulty they wonld experience, in
supplying more than t%o empty, yearning
young stomachs with fish flesh the sum
mer through. With only young uns'
to provide for, they are apparently kept
pretty busyin supplying trout fresh from
the water every day, so that they are to
be congratulated Oh the smallnesS of their
family circle. The hawks, in fishing, fly
along 80 or 100 feet above the water, and
within Il quar,er OF a mile of the shore
here the water ranges from 10 to 20 ieet
deep. They keep very sharp lookout for
any small fish which at that height they
happen to see glistening under the water.
They wait until tine unsIspecting fish
comes within a foot or two of the surface
and then with one fell swoop descend like
4 flash, sezng it with their talons and
bearing it victorlously aloft to their distant
nests. The bird most always has to 20 ell
tirely under water, but emerges in an in
slant, shakes its wings free Of water and
with the squirming and glistening fish
within its grasp takes it course toward the
woods. Occasionally the fish will wriggle
itself free of the hawks clutches, but in
this case the captor is most likely TO de-
scend again with sudden wing flop and
catch the fish before it reaches the ground.
Ii it touches the ground the hawk is said
rarely ever to reclaim it.
One of the strange things about this fish
preying business, however, is the fact that
once in q great while it is the bird as well
as the fish that loses its life. This happens
when the hawk. through bad judgment,
tackles fish that is too large for it, in
which case the hawk is simply pulled
down to watery grave.
