The Ohio Oil company, or the
Standard, is exceedingly active in
northern Ohio. They are drilliro
for and producing low grade oil
with which to beat down the price
of superior oil. Whether they will
find it in sufficient quantity to &C.
complish their purpose is purely
speculative. The price which they
are paying will also buoy up the in
dividual producer and will start him
prospecting.

KOEBEIE ORDERED HOME.
TO FIGHT THE NEW COFFEE PEST
ON HAWAII.
Commissioner Clark Advises Planters
to Keep Cool-Forest Culture to be
Rushed.

At its meeting this morning the
bureau of agriculture decided TO call
Professor Koebele home at once to
take up the work of investigating the
coffee pest on the Island of Hawaii.
\ letter to that effect will go forward
by the next steamer and will reach the
specialist at Washington.
1t is not considered by the bureau
that there is any cause of alarm on
account of the appearance of this new
pest. There is no OCCASION for a
scare" said Commissioner Clark to the
bureau. "The pest is due to local con-
ditions. There is no use for the coffee
planters or any one else to lose their
heads on account of it. The course is
simple. 1t is merely to search out the
remedy and apply it. The sooner peo-
pie meet obstacles squarely and over
come them the better. Pests are born
of conditions and will be constantly
coming up. Eternal vigilence is nee
essary.
"In California new pests are con-
stantly appearing. Everybody re-
mains cool beaded, however, and the
remedy is soon found. 1t will be the
same here. There will crop up at
times pests to coffee, to fruit and to
flowers. But what we must do is to
study out these things and supply our
remedy"
Another departure of the bureau in
the same line, and which is consider
ed important, is an arrangement by
which Commissioner Clark will be en-
abled in future to spend "A large part
of his time among the planters of the
various islands. He will be given suf-
ticient clerical aid in his Office to en-
able him to leave when necessary to
visit localities requiring his atten-
ton.
1t was expressed as the sense of the
bureau that the new Pail road when
completed should be bordered by palm
and shade trees, also that other roads
in the islands should, as far as practi.
cable, have trees about them in abun.
dance. The secretary was instructed
to go ahead and plant trees on the
sides of all permanent roadways.
1t was decided to push forward with
all possible vigor the work of tree
planting in Nuuanu valley. An addi
| tional force of men will be employed
to clear the japanese vine from the
trees. This vine, on account of its
! rapid growth. produces dense foil

There was full attendance of the

this medicine was the indirect savior

now more than plentiful in the Ho-
