Chas. D. Chase Leaves
Hawaii for u Months.

Nearly Five Years.

Charles D. Chase leaves by the
Oceanic S. S. Zealandia for the States
and will be away from the Islands at
least year. He has sold rs home ard
the adjoining fine lot and some other
pieces of property to w. VOTERS OF
Hackfeld & Co. Ltd. The business
which Mr.. Chase established and built
up here goes over to the Hawaiian
pany for a handsome consideration.
Mr.. Chase retains some Honolulu real
estate that he believes will increase in
value month by month. This promi-
nent and active business man is in
PEELED to go away from the Islands on
account Of the serious illness of his
wife, who is now in hospital at San

able to travel she will be taken to the
mountains by her husband.
Charles D. Chase. who had been
Writer with Admiral Brown, U. S. N,

the flagship Philadelphia nearly five

He opened up about three years ago

prominent figure in the real estate and
agency business. He was appointed

connection with various Pacific
steamship companies. Perhaps more
than any other man, Mr.. Chase has
increased tourist travel to the Islands.
He has been an interchangeable worker
in this field, sending letters and liter
ature to all parts of the world and
making trips to the States for the pur-
pose of advertising and getting up ex-
cursions. Mr.. Chase has been almost
from the first days of putting out his
signs, recognized as one of the rising

gressive movement and in his depart
ure a distinct loss to business circles
is felt. He may return at the end of a
year with renewed energy. Personally
Mr.. Chase has made himself popular
by his uniform courtesy to all with
whom he came in contact. He has
assisted in the work of the Y. M. G. A.
in behalf of young strangers and is a
member of Mystic Lodge, No. 2,
knights of Pythias and of Pacific

woman who has many warm friends
here. The couple will have with them
in their travels the best wishes of

Beetles on Kauai.

Prof. A Koebele. the Government
entomologist, is back from Kauai. The
specialist journeyed to the Garden Isle
in answer to the summons of those
who complain that the Japanese beetle
is doing great harm to the roses and to
nearly all leafy vegetation. All of the
haoIe settlers, many of the native and
all of the plantation and ranch peole
volunteered readily to do all in their
power by way of assistance in the at
tack on the beetle. Several thousands
of the bugs were gathered, inoculated
with the death fungus and liberated
again. Professor KoebeIe is confident
that at once the numbers will decrease
to marked extent. The pest had OBJ
tanned a big Roadway on Kauai.

Father Matthias in Earnest
The man on the Island of Hawaii
who is waging bitter, relentless and eff
fective war on the Japanese beetle is
Father Matthias of the Roman Catho-
lie Mission. The reverend father has
40 or 80 boys at his command and en-
cages all of them in gathering beetles
TO be inoculated. The work is going
on under a wholesale plan. Father
Matthias writes to Honolulu that while
much is being done and the mark of
progress may be seen, that the task is
a tremendous one. The beetles exist
by the hundreds of thousands and in
the work of destruction are measured
by the gallon.
