REPORTS ON HAWAII.
Interesting Facts About
the Islands.

Washington. Nov. 19-The decrease of
the Hawaiian race has been steadily grow
ing less rapid for the past several decades,
especially the female population. accord
Ing to the annual report of ex-President
Sanford B. Dole, governor of Hawaii. The
increase of part Hawaiians tends to keep
down the number of the pure Hawaiians.
While the figures show, race progress the
census reports as to surviving children are
d1scouraging. In both the censuses Of 1890
and 1896 the pure Hawaiian percentage of
survivors was the lowest OF Hll rfationai:-
ties represented In the islands.
An encouraging outlook for the Ha-
waiians exists In the fact that out of 6,s27
owners of real estate in 1896, 1885 we're pure
Hawatians and 722 part Hawaiians. The
facts are significant as showing the own
ershtp of holdings by so large number of
pure Hawaiians and the evident tendency
OF the race to acquire homesteads.
The ex-president reports that there is
reason to expect that annexation is going
to influence Hawaiian character very ia
vorably through the changed conditions
erected. Their old dependence on their
chiefs has ceased and they are forced to
rely more upon themselves and their foot

only a few years ago. But the buffa-
sloes are gone Those who find profit
inss wasteful consumption of our pine
forests are es'There is no danger OF the
pine becoming exhausted" Two years
ago forest expert from the DIVISION
of Forestry, Washington, spent three
months in the Wisconsin forests max
ing an official survey and estimate OF
the standing pine in that state. he
found the present supply II billion
feet; that there was originally 129 bill
lion feet; that 86 billion feet had been
cut since 1910 and that 26 billion feet.
had probably been destroyed by fire.
A safe estimate of the present,
amount of standing pine in Minnesota
is 20 billion feet. Possibly there are
Is billion feet. But it is being cut at
the rate of one and a half billion feet
per year and mostly shipped out of the
state. Anyone can judge how long
numbering in this state on its present,
extensive scale can last.
The increment or growth of our pine
forests probably amounts to So0,0Oo,-
900 feet per year. And if the cut over
and waste lands that are, not well
adapted for agriculture were planted
to pine the whole increment, though
not marketable till future period,
would reach about 500. million feet
board measure per year. Every year
we neglect to adopt forestry system
entails future loss to the public and
