DISTRIBUTION.

The registration upon the various ISL
, ands falls short by 5000 what it was un-
der the monarchy in it's last year,
though on Oahu it is larger than ever
before. The whole registration amounts
to 11,216 of which number Oahu has 8, 7O4
or some what more than half which
would be 5,6OS.
That there should not be as MANY
Hawaiian voters as formerly need not
be matter of surprise to anyone. The
census returns will show a considerable
railing off in that direction, and the
part-Hawaiian population which is
coming on, though increasing RAPIDLY
has not as a mass reached the voting
age. The explanation need not he
sought in any apathy about the election
FOR there has seldom been an election
Whlch has caused so much interest and
excitement, and where so thorough a
canvas of the constituents has been
made,
Combined with the actual decrease in
the voting number of the Hawaiians.
there is also not the full voting strength
OF the new corners, for the years resi-
dence clause in the organic act has pre-
vented many of them from registering.
This will probably account for all of
1000 votes.
Another thing which is brought out
by these figures is the concentration of
the Hawaiian population upon the ISL
and of Oahu and that is practically in
Honolulu. The native vote on the ISL
and of Oahu is over 1000 strong. The
total vote on Hawaii is 2,715 of which
less than 1000 is Hawaiian, and on Maui
the total vote is 2,O5S, with probably
1000 native votes, so that the three cleo
ton districts to the south of Oahu do
not together equal the two election dis
tricts of that Island, even on the ma
tive vote.
Another curious fact brought out is
that Kauai has only 739 voters. less
than the number registered in the sec
ond precinct of the fourth district. II
begins to look as If there would have to
be redistribution of representation. for
evidently Oahu is not getting it's full
share, while other districts get too
much.

DIR, WOOD,

The resignation of Dr. Wood from the
office of President of the Board Of
Health was to be expected, though 1t
nut be regretted. DR.. Wood, during a
very trying time was a most indefatig-
able worker. His administration OF
funds may be attacked, and probably
will be in the next legislature. But 1t
must be remembered that the expenses
were incurred at camps which were in
charge of various heads, and upon them
rested the main responsibility for the
expenditures what ever his theoretical
control and responsibility may have
been. What ever may be said on this
score, however there can be no doubt
about the value of DR.. Woods work.
1t was a trying time and required
man of iron will. DIR. Wood proved to
be that man. He was untiring in his
zeal and never spared himself. Literally
he worked night and day, and snatched
what rest he could at odd moments
During this period he sacrificed his
own personal business interests. OF
course there were others who sacrificed
theirs wholly or in part, but with one
or two exceptions none did so for the
length Of time DR.. Wood did. There was
no salary attached to the office and
when the plague was stamped out and
the city began to breathe again, the
merchants presented DR.. Wood with an
honorarium of $4,000.
The Melancholy history of the plague
will always be associated with the name
of DR.. Wood. But it was not only dur
ing the plague that DR.. Wood did yeo-
man service to the community. Since
we got rid of the plague he has devoted
himself to improving the sanitary con-
dition of the city and has been the NOV
ing spirit on the Board in this good
work. He has ever been sounding a
warning lest the citizens should forget
what they have passed through, and
through neglect allow portions of the
city to become as insanitary in the pre-
sent as they were in the past.
By the retirement of DR.. Wood, the
Board loses an efficient and the public
faithful and capable worker.

FISH PROTECTION.

The subject of fish and fisheries,
which has occupied considerable atten-
ton here has occupied the attention of
the Hilo papers and Professor w. H.
Henshaw contributes a very interesting
article upon the subject to the Hilo
Herald.
Professor Henshaw after discussing
the proposed introduction of food fishes
from abroad under the auspices of the
United States Fish Commissioner, then
discusses the preservation of the food
fishes We already have here. Secretary
Cooper and others have shown us that
the fisherman at Pearl Harbor, and in
fact all along the coast of Oahu are
using nets which are terribly destruc-
tive to the small fry. The meshes of
the net ueed here are not only small
but they are filed or lined with mos
quito netting, so that nothing minute
could escape.
The same sort of thing seems to pre-
vail in Hilo. Professor Henshaw says:
mo one who visits Hilo beach can
fail to be struck by the wasteful meth
DDS of the local fisherman. In the first
place the nets used are of small mesh
and catch large numbers of fish whose
small size should tabu them as food.
Yet such are gathered up and sold for
what they will fetch. The rubbish in
the net is then dumped upon the sand
and all the small fry entangled in II are
left to rot upon the beach. 1t needs but
a brief examination of this refuse to
reveal hundreds of minnows-the young
of several species of food fst-which if
returned to the water would in time
grow to be big fish. In addition to the
young of food fish,, there are hundreds
OF small shrimps, crabs and young
fishes of SPECIES not much used for food
but constituting the food of larger and
valuable fish. These little fish and the
minute shrimps and crabs, though not
directly available for the table, are in
their way almost as important economi-
cally as the food fish themselves since,
except for their presence, the large fish
would not visit the bays and shallow
waters at ALL. Such small fry constitu-
te their natural prey and to destroy
them Is 70 drive away the large fish,"
The point made by Professor Hen
shaw with regard to the destruction not
only of the, young of food fish, but the
small crabs shrimps and general fry
which are the food of the larger fish
and attract them into our bays and
shadows Is a good one. Not only are
the fishermen destroying the coming
crop of fish, hut they are actually driv-
ing away''th0se wkosatilI escape them,
by a.sreckless Destruction or their food.
This wanton destruction OF the Island
shore fisheries will have to so on till

the Legislature meets. As soon as that
body comes together Immediate steps
should be taken to pass the necessary
laws for fish protection. But as Pro-
fessor Henshaw says:
For the Legislature to merely pass
such statutes, however, and leave their
enforcement to the general public or
even to the police is next to useless.
Without officers specially designated
for his duty, the enforcement of such
laws is practically impossible. In the
United States the preservation of the
fish and the game is considered of such
Importance that many of the States
have game wardens whose sole duty It
is to see that the game and fishery laws
are not violated Until this system was
inaugurated the game laws were prac-
lilly a dead letter."

According to the Territorial Mete-
biologists report Kau and Hamakua
have suffered very seriously from
drought the one having had only 25
per cent of Its normal rainfall and the
other only So per cent. Hilo the rainy
district has had but IS per cent of nor
NAL but Kona has had 50 per cent
more than normal and Mani has had
It's full share Of rain, From this It ap-
pears that there has been no general
dr9pght but where the rainfall has
fallen short 1t may be ascribed to local
causes.

When Lieutenant Stafford returns
from Guam he will have fine collec-
ton Of data upon which to base a com
prehensive account of the Island.
Lieutenant Stafford is one of the most
highly cultivated and scientific men in
the navy. He brings to his subject a
trained intelligence and a wide know
ledge. A thorough account of Guam is
very much needed.

Taking off shoes and stockings and
walking with naked feet in sand, mud

smelling like a salt pan, we followed
endless windings until the fowler ar
