Editor Advertiser do not wish to
prolong a newspaper controversy, but
in that spirit of fairness which char
acterizes the Advertiser, beg you
will allow me to say a few words In
regard to the clearing of the planted
forest from the upper portion of Ke-
walo-uka.
This narrow belt OF land has been
turned over by the Territory of Ha-
wall to the United States for the es-
tablishment of an experiment station,
for work in agriculture I selected the
upper portion of the tract as most
suitable for horticultural work, partly
as matter of convenient location, and
also because, being adjacent to the
public road, whatever experiments
were to be made might be carried on
under the critical observation of the
public. Furthermore, this is the only
portion of the station land where there
is abundant rainfall. The land was not
cleared for the purpose of getting fire
wood to SELL If the cordWood is sold
the station does not benefit thereby
for the money will have to be turned
into the United States Treasury, as
are all other funds realized from sales
of government property.
Trees do not make rain: the rain
makes the trees. When this land is
covered with fruit trees, cultivated
crops, or even with grass, the climatic
effect will be as great as If there were
a eucalyptus forest. The results
may be of Importance to those who
own land on the mountain slopes at
like elevation. The fact that this tract
is now the property of the United
States, and is to be used for expert
ments intended to be of benefit to all

JARED SMITH WRITES OF HIS
WORK IN THESE ISLANDS

who are Interested in agriculture and
horticulture, seems TO have escaped the
minds of my critics. I am left very
much to my own discretion as to what
lines of investigation shall be under
taken. There is much to be done, and
in getting land ready for cultivation
there is much expense in time and
labor without immediate returns. Some
one must take the responsibility Of this
unproductiye preparatory drudgery. 1
have been sent here by the Secretary
of Agriculture to start operations. I
was not an applicant for this position,
but having been sent here to do GER
tain work, I shall endeavor TO accom-
plish it and fulfill the confidence
which Secretary of Agriculture James
Wilson has placed in me. I am re-
sponsible both to the Department OF
Agriculture and to the people OF Ha-
wall. If the work of this station is
successful it will mean the rendering OF
aid and assistance to many lines of ag-
riculture practiced in these Islands.
There is no politics in ali experiment
station-it is neither for nor against
the present order of things. The work
is for the welfare of the country and
the people; to introduce and establish
new industries, to fight plant and ami
NAL diseases and insect pests, study
the breeding and feeding of live stock.
improve the soils; to make Hawaii the
home of million American citizens;
not only a land of diversified indus
tries, but a great and prosperous
State. Results are not to be attained
| in day. The appropriation is too
small to admit of rapid progress. 1t
will be perhaps two or three years be-
fore enough of the crude, preliminary
work has been done to form a basis
on which to build for effective results.
In the meantime 1 ask the public to
suspend judgment and lend to the
station their cooperation and good
will, as we'll as their criticism Very
respectfully, JARED G. SMITH.

Isaac Bierry arrived Monday from El Copete, Sonora, and has baen spend- ing the week with his family. Mir, Bierry has just completed the erection of 200-ton smelter for the Melczer company, which will be blown in on the first of next month. The starting up has been delayed by the failure of the traction engine to bring in the necessary supply of coke, etc., from Carbo, the railroad station, 25 miles from the mine, and recourse was taken to old-fashioned freight teams, which are scarce. Mir. Bierry says the mine is good one, the ore being valuable in copper and gold, and there is enough out for six months run, with plenty in sight in the mine.

Shot from Ambush.

On Friday, near Cienega postofice, on the New Mexico line of Apache cou nty, Ed Beeler was shot from am bush. He lived for some hours after he was found and told the story of his assassination. Twelve shots were fired in rapid succession from behind stone fence. Smokeless powder was used At a ranch house but a half mile away no sound of the shots was. heard
 It is not known whether the assas- sins were outlaws or. whether. they were friends of Monte Slaughter who three months ago was killel by Beeler, it is claimed in self-defense.
 Feeling runs high and other lives seem to. be in danger. Ed Beeler, as sheriff, was an able and fearless officer who was badly feared by all outlaws and rustlers.

A DASTARDLY OUTRAGE,
A Florence Man Subjected to Great
 Indignity.

J. J. Fraser writes from Globe to Sheriff Truman, under date of April l7th, stating that on that day one hundred members of the Miners U nion rode Vim. H. Beard out of town on a rail. It was said that Boards vote against the eight-hour law in the last Legislature was used as an excuse for perpetrating the outrage, which can not be too strongly condemned. Mir. Fraser did not write full particulars, but the reliability of the information can hardly be doubted, though it seems incredible that Globe should have such lawiess community as the news would indicate.

An Unlawful Act.
From the Kingman Arrow.l


 To meet the requirements of the over-drawing of salaries and because they were in power and believed in dragging off everything in sight, the following unlawful act was passed by the late lamented Fist:
 The new law which goes into effect on the 1st of next Septemo per increases salaries of all officers in fourth, fifth and sixth-class counties. The sheriff is made ex-otficio assessor, and the district attorney, treasurer and re- corder will receive $l250 year. The latter will also get one half the fees I for recording mining locations (50 cents,) and the supervisors may allow him extra pay for clerk. The probate judges compensation is also increased, and certain fees of the sheriff over which there has been some dispute are made legal charges. The allowance of each supervisor has been increased to $7O0 year.
 In sectionilSS9, of the organic law of Arizona, Revised Statutes of 1887, is a clause reading as follows which forbids
 Creating, increasing or decreasing fees, percentage or allowance of public officers during the term for which said officers are elected or appointed"
 It might be as well for the present incumbents in this county to look up this law before availing themselves of the liberality of the last legislature. The act is unlawful and will be so con. strued by any court of legal jurisdiction in the United States.
