CHANGED HIS LUNCH.
COckburn's Tale.

"a lunch with a good strong cup
of coffee used to answer my needs
for MONDAY, but of late have been
compelled to leave off the coffee be-
cause it made me throw up occa-
sienally. Itried chocolate, but that
didn't fit the taste, neither did tea.
Finally my wife suggested that 1
use her drink, Postum Cereal, the
grain beverage. 1t proved SO near
like fine Mocha in color and taste
that it suited me vastly better than
any Of the other breakfast drinks,
and the stomach and bowels made no
more complaint; in fact l have re-
covered entirely from any trouble Of
this sort. and. we couldn't keep house
without Postum for our coffee" So
says George A. Cockburn, grocer, at
Lansing. Mich. Write him.
Postum Cereal is pure grain bev-
erage that looks and tastes like cof-
fee. Those who cannot drink berry
coffee will find Postum exactly fills
the want and also delights the chill
dren.

Il will just show you roughly wha
| can be done with the land. On one
! acre, 435 of the trees at distances of IL
| feet apart, could be planted, or hall
the number at 20 feet apart. See the
| splendid possibilities for small set
tiers? Say you are the fortunate own
er of five acres. You could have one
acre for a house and garden, one for
| stables, chicken run and out-houses
| two for vegetables, ETC., and one upon
which you could plant PIT trees as
have already suggested. The water
would come from the contemplated
bitches. Now, then all of this can be
| actually done.
cat present there are no roads
worthy the name leading into the val
ley, but very little work would be re-
quired to place in excellent condition
the present ones. The grade is very
| gradual; | should say not more than
| 25 or 80 feet in two miles.
| r'What a beautiful place Palolo Val
Icy, with its proposed park, would be
for the school children to go on an
ohting. How much more satisfactory
than the Peninsula or the vicinity of
Kapiolani Park, where the atmosphere
is about the same as it is in the school
yards.
Il
to say about the resources of Hilo.
My present object is to get people in
terested, SO that they will pay a visit
TO the place.
There are many legends which the
natives tell about Palolo. Here is one /
gained a number of years ago, when
partaking of the hospitality of one of
the former rulers of the country:
"At the head of the valley is place
called Kae-a, owned, / understand, by
Mr.. Cecil Brown. In the olden time
there dwelt here an aged high chief,
by name, Kahahana, and beautiful
daughter, PaloIo, after whom the val
ley was named. She turned out later
to be a second Joan of Arc.
Late one night she discovered at
Waikiki the lights from the canoes of
Kahekili, the great Moi of Maui, who
had come to Oahu to subdue her chiefs.
kahahana was an old, gray-haired
man, and his daughter, perceiving the
danger, hid him away in the bushes,
and, hurryfng down into the lower
lands, gathered about her all the war
riors she could muster at short notice
With spear in hand and marching
proudly at the head of her small fol-
lowing, she advanced straight for the
landing-place of Kahekili. Beaten
back, she retreated slowly to where
President Dole's Waikiki home now
stands, and, halting, did a little fight
ing. The army of Kahekili was too
powerful for the small body of Oahu's
defenders, and they retreated around
Diamond Head as far as Hanauma,
where their bones, bleaching in the sun,
tell of the brave stand they took and
the defeat they suffered The fate of
Palolo is shrouded in mystery, but the
natives say that her spirit still haunts
the deeply wooded parts of Palolo, and
that upon windy nights she may be
seen rushing here and there crying:
L muai | muai'"

| and fertile of all the valleys, and yet
| it is perhaps the least visited of any.
Natives and Chinese alone have pos
| session of the valley. Being well shell
! tered and watered, the soil is richer
/ than any of the others. Always has
/ PalolO been a great fascination for the
! intelligent visitor The area is about
1000 acres more or less, or five miles
long, with an average width of one
mile from ridge to ridge All up along
! on the slope of the ridge, just to our
right, you see most admirable building
land The soil is of a very rich, vol
canic nature and will produce almost
all of the plants and trees of the trop-
ical and temperate zones.
1T seems a shame when one thinks
that only about one-fifth of the land is
under cultivation. The rest is simply
lying idle. The Government owns quite
lot and I shall try to get the pow
ers that be to reserve all such land in
the valley for experiment stations and
park. 1t is my opinion that the Gov
ernment will benefit itself and the peo-
pie if it does this.
Now, then, something in regard to
that most necessary factor-water. At
the head of the valley is a beautiful
lake in what seems to be an old crater,
and this is surrounded with luxurious
vegetation, consisting of ferns and ma
tive shrubs. If a number of large stone
reservoirs could be made at the head of
the valley the whole of the lower lands
could be abundantly supplied.
'The water from these reservoirs
would be worth a great deal more than
flowing streams, because the water
could be turned down in large volumes

Attention Called to What Can be
Done-Legend of Princess Pa
lolO and Followers.

Allen Herbert, who was recently ap-
to serve during the absence of Joseph
Marsden, is interesting himself in the
work of putting before the people,
through the medium of the press, the
available land in the suburbs of the
city and in the fertile valleys that
form a belt about Honolulu, this in the
interest of people of limited means who
think that by getting a small lot and
a much smaller house in the unhealthy
part of kakaako or in some place
about the city such as those found dur
ing the late cholera epidemic, they are
doing we'll, and also, for information
of small farmers in the States who
contemplate coming here with their
families to live.
1t is Mr. Herbert,s intention to give
out, from time to time, facts regard
ing the valleys from Diamond Head
to Moanalua, showing their respective
beauties, possibilities and resources.
These valleys are: Palolo, Manoa Ma
kiki, Pauoa, Nuuanu, Kalihi, Kapala-
ma and Kahauiki
A few days ago the Acting Commits
sioner of Agriculture invited a repre-
sentative of the Advertiser to make a
trip with him into Palolo, which he
did gladly. On the road he put forth
various points which are sure to be of
interest to large number of persons.

Is Familiar With Hawaii'S
History.
A Member of Several Important
Committees In United
States Senate,

Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama
| is expected to arrive by the Australia
this morning. Although no commits
sion was appointed by the United
States Senate beore it's adjournment,
to investigate the Hawaiian situation,
as it was thought there might be, the
Senator comes in a semi-official ca
pacity He is member OF the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, and the
result of his observations here, of the
political, social and commercial condi-
tions existing in the Islands, will be
presented to the committee when the
Senate meets again in regular session
in December. Other Senators will fol-
low probably in the course of a few
weeks.
Senator Morgan is already well ac-
quainted with the history of the ISL
ands He was chairman of the COM
mittee in 1893 when thorough inves-
tigation was made of Hawaiian affairs.
He is probably as familiar with Ha-
waiian statistics as any other man I'm

sion. There are many details OF the
life and conditions here which escape
the ordinary visitor. They are not OBJ
served because they cannot be repre-
sented by statistics, or put in concise
form in descriptive articles, and the
ordinary visitor usually comes for the
beautiful scenery and the delightful
climate Senator Morgan has an
nounced that he is coming for pleasure
mainly. 1t is not known definitely how
long he will remain in Honolulu.
While here he will be the guest of Mr..
and Mrs. S. M. Ballou.
By the last dispatches 1t was an
nounced that extensive preparations
had been made to receive Senator Nor
gan in San Francisco. He has opposed
the Pacific Railroad Funding bill in
the Senate for years, and the people of
California wished to give some express
sion Of their appreciation Of his inter-
est in their affairs. On his return from
it is expected that he will
spend several days in California, to in
spect river and harbor Improvement
needs among other things. The Sen
ator is chairman of the Committee on
of the Nicaragua Canal,
and the canal is subject Of great i'm
portance to the Coast
Senator Morgan is also a member OF
the Committee on Indian Affairs, on
Pacific Railroads and on Forest Reser-
vations and the Protection of Game.
He has been closely identified with

HeaIani Barge Tried.

The Healanis took out their new
barge for the first time last evening.
and from the way she appeared in the
water the boys knew at once that she
is everything claimed by the makers.
They had not gone far out before it
was found that something was wrong
with the aluminium rudder. It would
not move with ease, and when ex-
amined was found to be quite badly
bent. 1t seems that the fault was with
the builders Of the barge, who fitted
the rudder too closely. so that when the
coxswain pulled a little harder than
usual in one direction, a bend was the
result.

what Thoy Want.

A Mason Valley correspondent
writes as follows:
The people of Mason Valley want
the Legislature to abolish the SAM
pie ballot.
Pass the new school law formula
ted by the leading educators of the
State.
Simplify the purity of election
law SO that the average citizen may
understand its meaning.
Make it impossible for a man to
get an office by corrupting the NOR
ais of the people and promoting in
temperance among the young voters.
Cut down the salaries of county
officers SO they cannot afford to
spend from $500 to 81, 900 to get an
Office. Then, perhaps, the office
might seek suitable man, instead
of worthless men seeking the office.
Pass law permitting corpora
tions to go on official bonds.
Sit down on all lunatics who want
to change the boundary lines of
Lyon county.
Pass an appropriation bill to
build levee around Nevada to pro-
tect us from the Mckinley wave of
prosperity that is devastating other
parts of the country. CA Spanish
trocha might do, and be cheaper.
Pass bill to suppress the mania
of new members for introducing

Great Country for Bees.

A correspondent writes that bees
are now buzzing around the Mason
Valley hay stacks, making honey
from the blossoms, and remarks
that Nevada should be proud of a
climate that will permit bees to
make honey in the Winter, and of
a forage plant that will produce the
best of beef, pork, mutton, milk and
honey. A Mason Valley Irishman,
fresh from the ould sod, who was
watching the bees work in the hay,
said: what kind of hay is this?
The horses ate it, the COWS ate it,
the pigs ate it, and the bees ate it,
sure I think it would do to live on
meself. In the ould country the
hay is as long as yer arrum and as
foine as silk"
