Gunboat General Nerino Is for the
Colombian Governments

Mr.. Rengifo. Columbian charge at Wash
inGton. stated yesterday to The Times
that tie gunboat Gen. Nerino is ordered
by his government for use on the Madrilena
River The boat will be carried in sections
to Ba ranquilla and ira nsported to the
inte rior from that place.
Some excitement has been caused in
New York by the suspicion that the Gen.
Nerino is intended for Cuba. This is prob
ably due to the statement that the South
Portland. on which the gunboat is being
stored, was once a blockade runner, and
has been chartered for expeditions on
several occasions.

4t.rhsis Turn to Run.

A bear hunt which terminated In q
manner at once Disappointing and sur
prising, is described by the Portland
Oregonian. 1t occurred in the mountains
Of Oregon, whittier two gentlemen had
betaken themselves for q vacation trip.
Several days were spent in trout Ash
ing. Then one of the men expressed a
strong desire for aQday's shooting, for
large game. They set ont the next
morning bright and early. and after
hours Of fruitless tramping were about
returning to camp, when suddenly they
saw, straight before them o brown bear
Sitting on his launches under a blue
berry bush and gorging himself with
the berries. 4
Both hunters fired, and the bear, with
an ugly growl. disappeared. The men
hastened after him, but were unable to
overtake him. For half an hour or
more they followed the trail. Then all
ut once they came to a clearing. In the
clearing was a,cabin. and ON the porch
Of the cabin sat the brown bear with
one Of his forelegs, in a slingi r.
The hunters were greatly taken aback,
as may we'll be supposed, but were still
more surprised when they saw q man
Fastening toward them with a gun.
They turned and ran, the man after
them. They got away in safety, and
learned afterward that the bear was a
family pet, the owner of which was
naturally angry at finding it i'll treated.

SOME OAHU CANAIGRE.
Splendid Results From Ranch of
Armstrong & Andrade.
Good TuberS With Plenty of Tan1n.
On Exhibition at Pacific
Hardware Store.

Another evidence of the capability
of the soil of Oahu to produce good
products was brought to this Office on
Wednesday in the shape of basket of
canaigre roots from the ranch conduct
ed by Messrs Armstrong and Andrade.
There were ten large tubers, measuring
all the way from three to ten inches in
length-good, healthy looking roots,
every one of them, and all the product
of single plant.
The boys are now busy transplanting
the plants from the eight-acre nursery,
and the collection of tubers sent to this
city is said to be good average of the
product found in every hill of the nurs-
cry The field that is now being culti-
vated includes some sixty acres, located
few miles from Pearl City, along the
Waialua road. The land had previously
been regarded as practically useless,
but it seems to be just the place for
canaigre. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the larger fields will yield
plant that will equal the nursery pro-
duct, both in size and the amount of
tannin contained. In fact, upon the am
cunt of tannin contained in the tubers
the success of the canaigre industry in
this country depends. The tubers from
the nursery have been analyzed and
found to be fully up to the standard,
which will make the cultivation of the
plant one of the best paying industries
of the country. Furthermore, expert
ments have been made in tanning
leather with the Island product, which
have been equally successful. A sample
of the leather, together with the canal
gre has been placed on exhibition in
the window of the Pacific Hardware
Company.
The young men who are conducting
the ranch are bright, hard working fell
lows and deserving of every success of
which their efforts now seem to give
promise.

The blanks for use in the Census
Bureau are finished and Superinten-
dent Atkinson is busily engaged in
completing the details of the work pre-
paratory to placing the blanks in the
| hands of the enumerators.
| In getting up the blanks Mr.. Atlxin-
son has had as guides papers from diff
ferent governments where the census
has been taken within recent years
and the result is in some respects a
combination of the best points in them;
| original ideas have been introduced
and the whole makes the blanks the
most complete and embodying all the
minute detail, but with less complica-
tion than the average.
One of the blanks is a commission
to the enumerator which he may pre-
sent wherever his authority to ask for
information is questioned. This is
signed by the General superintendent
and the District Superintendent. An
other is a return of all dwellings and
inhabited buildings of all kinds in each
subdivision. This will show the num-
ber of buildings used as quarters for
plantation laborers, jails, hospitals,
hotels and boarding houses, lodging
houses, boarding, schools, private resi-
dences and churches. 1t will also show
the character of the material from
which the buildings are constructed.
L ic Ind nU he fnr
from the data collected by him when
he visits the places.
Perhaps the most important blank is
the one which will be left at the resi-
dence of every householder on the 9th
of September, on which day the census
will be taken. This is a large paper
with an extremely official appearance,
having on the outside the seal of the
Republic and blank spaces showing the
island, district, street and number of
the dwelling.
At the bottom of the first page are
the directions to the person who is to
fill up the blank. The two inside pages
consist of a number of squares show
dow or widower, divorced, nationality
whether Hawaiian, part Hawaiian or
foreign, and Hawaiian born both pa
rents are foreigners. In order to as
certain the government to which part
Hawaiians may hold allegiance the
nationality of the father as asked or if
the father is naturalized, of what coun-
try and also the business or occupation.
To the right of these spaces will show
of the wife how many children she has
living, registered voters, read and
write English or Hawaiian, or langu-
age other than either of those men
toned. Whether children of the family
attend either government or indepen-
dent schools. Then there are spaces
for religion and ownership of real es-
tate, cattle, horses, pigs and goats.
On the back of the blank is model
showing just how the blank shall be
filled, and the chief point of difference
is in the fact that the writing Of yes
or no to any of the questions is avoided
and a mere stroke of the pen is used.
The occupier of the dwelling has no
writing TO do except in filling in space
provided 4for nationality. In nearly
all the models Mr.. Atkinson has the
sex of persons was marked by an initial
