the other side. The fire has got a big
hold and it will require great energy and
a large number of men to stamp II out.
The section of forest destroyed includes
private lands and leased government
lands.
On the morning of August 10Th, Albert
Horner telephoned to me at Kukuihaele
where / was then staying, and informed
me that the fire was approaching fifty
acres of government forest land and the
Kainehe and Paauilo homesteads, and
asked If the government could not assist
in trying to head off the fire. / told Mr.
Horner that / did not think there was
any appropriation to draw from for such
work. but 1 would communicate with
Governor Dole in regard to the matter.
The Governor had left the Volcano
House that morning, and was on his
way to Hilo. The following morning I
communicated with the Governor. who
was then in Hilo. In reply. the Governor
said that the plantation managers would
have to try and put the fire out them
selves, and rely on the government to do
the right thing by them. | informed
Mr.. Horner at once of the Governors re-
ply. Since then and up to the time I
left the island, Mr. Horner and Mr.. Lyd-
gate have had gangs of men night and
day trying to fight the fire. and on the
evening | left 1 was informed that Mr..
Horner had all his plantation hands at
work trying to check it.
In an interview with J. NJ Horner this
gentleman complained about the indis-
criminate burning of brush by settlers
and by their carelessness or ignorance,
the fire TO spread into the for
est or their neighbours property and raw
age large tracts of land, thereby de-
stroying much valuable property.
Legislation is undoubtedly greatly need
ed In the dry districts OF different parts
of the Islands to abate the evils caused
by these brush fires. 1t would not be
advisable to prohibit all fires on lands
but without delay an end should be put
to the system whereby any person can,
at any time. without impunity set fire
to dry grass and brush. and so produce
a conf1agration that may and often does
cause great injury and loss to his neigh
bors property; and that certainly retards
the prosperity of the country. Although
bush fires need not altogether he prohib-
tied, they should not be allowed to be set
in very dry seasons. as they are then ex-
ceedingly dangerous. and at other times
they should be regulated so that the evils
that I have brought to your notice may
be mitigated If not entirely abolished.

THE NEED OF
LEGISLATION
rHE official report of David Haugh.

THE official report of David laughs,
forester in the Department of Ag-
riculture and Forestry. was made
public by Commissioner Wray Taylor
yesterday 1t deals almost entirely
with his Investigations into the forest
fires in the district of Hamakua. Ha-
wall and is published in full as fol-
lows:
Honolulu, H. T., Aug. q. 1901.
wray Taylor, Esq, Commissioner of Ag-
riculture and Forestry.
Sir:-I have the honor to submit to you
the following report of my Investigations
into the destruction of the forest by hre
and other matters connected with your
department in the district of Hamakua,
Hawaii The fire, which is now raging
in the forest and doing an enormous
amount of damage, was started by ma
tive who. In the act of burning brush
on his kuleana, allowed the fire to
spread into the forest adjoining his land.
This fire, 1 am told started on the 3rd
of July, and has continued with more or
less yigor according to the rise and tall
of the wind, since that time; and on the
day l left the island aug. 23) 1t was
burning fiercely. On August 18th L VS.
tied the burned district along with AL
bert Horner of Kukaiau plantation. We
examined part of the tract destroyed,
but could not. at that time, make thor
ough examination of the whole tract ow-
ing to the dangerous condition of same.

trunks. some of them entirely covered

eral of Mr. Horner's men have got burn
ed in this way. L will now lay before
YOU a conservative estimate of the dam
age done to the forest up to the time of
our visit
The trees on the section destroyed We're
principally koa, kukui, ohia-ha and ohia-
lehua.
Owing to the great amount of dead
ferns and underbrnsh which is the food
of fires and the intense heat caused by
the burning of SUCH a very small per-
centage of the trees will survive, the
greater part of them are, in fact, burned
to ashes. We estimated that about 1000
acres had been covered by the fire up to
August 18th, the day on which We visit
ed the burned district. Our estimate of
the amount of timber per acre was
about seventy cords. This fire could
probably be headed Off but 1t would re-
quire a great many men and it would
cost a large sum of money to do the
work The only way the fire could be
checked would be to cut a space through
the forest about fifty yards broad, and
carefully burn up all brush and then
, back fire This space would probably
have to be run through the forest fol

Baptist Missions.

At the commencement of the last concentlon year there was $1 ,9S1.34 Ill the state mission treasury; at the close of the year there was only S666.16 ill the treasury, a shrinkage of $421.1S. The Bapt;sts of Arkan- sas contributed last ear to state missions, $3,7O3.36; and there was expended for mission work only $3,- 431.40, leaving a balance of $271.96 This shows that Arkansas Baptists paid for their own mission work, and that the $1,S35 donated to Ar kansas by the home and foreign boards, together with the surplus of SS71.96 given by Arkansas Baptists, and $55.50 of the surplus of the year before, was expended in admin lstering on the estate.-Arkansas Baptist.

MADDOX SEMINARY
A Growing Institution.

GrcWlng institution.
 Thre years ago this fall Union Female College at Oxford, Miss, was driven from its home, where it had been chartered and operated since 1854, and Little Rock was chosen for new home. The college was founded by Dr. o. s. Burney, who, after about fifteen years, was succeeded by Dr. c. H. Bell, whose administration was also long and successful. Then came Dr. Howard, and later President A. $. Maddox, the youngest man who had ever been chosen by the board as president of the college. It was only short while until President Maddox had demonstrated his superior ability and eminent fitness for the work he had chosen and the office he had accepted. In less than two years the patronage was so materially ln- creased that new buildings became necessary and were erected. These were filled within the next two years, and others were needed, when the yellow fever came and the school fled to Little Rock for safety. Not withstanding the citizens of Oxford offered the buildings free to Mir. Maddox and proposed to charter cars to return the faculty and stu dent body free to Oxford, the city of Little Rock, through its pro- gressive board of trade, saw her chance and was equal to the emer- gency. Soon after locating in Little Rock President Maddox applied for and secured a new charter for the college under the new name of Mad dox Seminary for Young Ladies, which name has already become a household word throughout the southwest. The growth of the school during so short period of time has been something phenomenal. One hundred and forty boarders, besides a good local patronage, were enrolled last session. New buildings were erected and the entire main building overhauled, making the whole one of, if not the best, school plants for young ladies in the southwest. The Buildings are newly and elegantly furnished from bottom to top, and are supplied with the most modern conveniences. No school for young ladies can produce higher and more varied course of study, and the fac ulty is composed of men and women who are scholars and specialists in their lines. As an indication of its superior work, its students are being elected to responsible positions in schools in the various sections of the country The school is strictly religious, but non-sectarian in its character, thus making 1t so any student of any creed can feel per fectly easy and at home within it's walls. Mr. Maddox was wise in selecting Little Rock for the new home, and now that the most skep- tical have been convinced that the school is success, everybody, with one accord, will pull for Greater Maddox Seminary in the future. Little Rock is justly proud of such a school, and will support it with her money and patronage. It would be idle to do otherwise Those who are interested in schools at all should send for the catalogue and look into the claims and merits of this insti-

The First Elevator.

Elevators are by no means the recent
inventions generally supposed. An
amusing account of what was probably
the first attempt at an elevator is told
by st. Simon. and, according to him,
it was from M. Villayer that the idea
of flying chair" first emanated. This
ingenious person set up passable
prototype of the modern elevator in his
house in Paris. working it up and down
between the walls.
The daughter of Louis XIV was so
delighted with the novelty that she
had one put up in her own apartments
at Versailles. This honor was, how
ever, the undoing Of poor M. Villagers
machine. The chair suddenly stopped
moving while the princess was be-
tween two landings, and she had to
remain blocked up for three hours I'M
til the workmen broke hole through
the thick wall. The king was so an
noyed at this that he forbade any fur

A Cool Housenlaid.

A rather curious method of burglar
catching was resorted to by an in
genious maidservant recently in New
York. AS The Electrical Review tells
the story, while iG pursuit of her
household duties the maid noticed q
mans foot inside the clothes closet.
She did not scream, neither did she
Jump at the door nor shut it with a
bang. Instead she took broom and
began to sweep that corner of the
room near the closet. Her approach
was gradual, and the sweeping was
done so naturally that it would not
have aroused the most suspicious bur
glar. At last the broom brushed thedoor
gently, but hard enough to close it to
the fraction of an inch. With five or
six more gentle sweeps that closet
door was shut and almost latched,
which she at length succeeded in doing
by gently pressing her arm against it.
AS the telephone in her house was
so near the closet that the burglar
would be able to hear her if she called
for assistance, she bethOught herself
of another plan. In the back yard
some telephone linemen were at the
time making repairs on a wire that
runs to another house in the block.
She went out and spoke to them. They
promptly tapped wire, attached a
testing instrument and called up one
of the down town exchanges which in
turn got the house owner, who in his
turn called up police headquarters.
From there the call was sent to the
police station nearest the house, and
two policemen were sent around and
got the man.
