NATIVE PLANTS OF HAWAII.

A description of the native plants of
the Hawaiian Islands is contained in a
bulletin in course of preparation by the
Dope rtment of Agriculture.
OF these, 1t Is said, the most important
are the woods of the islands. They serv-
ed to make the enormous canoes. in
which the natives crossed from island
to island of the group, and occasional
ly made voyages to other Islands in the
South Pacific. Others were used for
outriggcrs and masts. Idols were carv-
ed from the softer as well as the hard
woods. The hardest varieties furnished
the mallets for beating kappa cloth. These
maliets We're elaborately carved and
OF different pattern on each face. They
were used in such a manner as to stamp
the patter upon the cloth. From the
forests came the bark, leaves and fiber
out of which kappa cloth, mats, fishing
lines, nets, etc, We're made.
From the various trees came the
dyes which they used in coloring the
kappa cloth and in tattooing their skins.
Inc materia medica of the kahunas, or
native doctors, was gathered exclusively
from the forests and fields.
The islands once abounded in sandal
wood, but the great demand for this
wood in Canton, China, for incense and
for the manufacture of fancy articles
caused a trade which quickly destroyed
the forests of this tree. Between 1910
and 1925 this trade in sandalwood was
at its height, and while 1t lasted brought
great wealth to the king and chiefs In
guns ammunition. liquors, boats and
small ships, which they received in ex-
change, 1t brought from to 10 cents
per pound. 1t was the first export that
attracted commerce to the islands. So
great was the destruction of these trees
that 1t was found necessary to lay
"tabu" on the few remaining ones.
great many sandal trees have since
sprung up In the Islands. but nowhere
in such quantities as to justify revival
Of the trade. After the sandalwood was
exhausted there was exported to China
n false sandalwood. called by the ma
tives naio. The wood and roots of this
tree, when dried. possess a fragrance
strongly resembling that OF me sandal
wood. It has also good building and ex-
cellent burning qualities. and is used for
torches In fishing.
The ohia-ha Is durable timber, and
Is used for railroad ties and posts, while
kela is a very hard wood, closely re-
sembling ebony. For fence posts the
wood OF the mamame Is said to be the
most durable. while 1t Ia also a good
firewood.
The halapepe was once used by the ma
tlves, who carved their idols out OF its
soft wood. SO. also. was used the wood
of lehua, the most generally prevailing
tree on the islands. II Is very hard. is

BUCKwHEATs AND sAUsAGEs.

When the gravy's on the buckwheats and the
sausages are hot,
When the steam is floating upward from the
shining coffee pot.
When the cook stirs up the batter that was
set the night before,
And when little Bob and Clara smack their
lips and yell for more
Oh, it's then man is always feeling pretty
near his best
II there isn't any trouble with the works be
meath his vest
And it's then he ought to humbly thank the
Lord for what he's got
When the gravy's on the buckwheats and the
Sausages are hot.
There's fragrance that comes floating from
the pancakes on the plate
That should nerve man to action-make
him strong for any fate
There is joy, there inspiration in the smears
on Bessie's chin,
Aud it's good to see dear Willie as he scoops
the sausage in,
And what sweeter music is there than the
rasping, Slapping sound
That the busy cook produces as she stirs the
stuff around
Oh, each precious, luscious mouthful quickly
finds the pI oper spot
When the gravy's on the buckwheats and the

BILLS INTRODUCED BY COL. PEARRE.

At the opening of congress last
week Congressman Pearre intro
duced number of bills of local as
well as national Importance, among
them being the following:
A bill establishing fish hatchery
in Garrett county. He believes that
Garrett county, its climate and waters
are peculiarly adapted to the culture
of trout and bass, and he feels conf
dent that he will secure the passage
of this bill The bill carries an ap-
preparation of twenty-five thousand
dollars to cover the necessary expen-
ses for building, etc.
A bill granting pension to Andrew
Mulholland, a helpless old soldier,
who resides on Oak street in Oakland.
Mr.. Mulholland is in such condition
from the effects of rheumatism that
for number of years he has been
perfectly helpless.

it political matter The Democrats
have always antagonized the Protec-
tive policy of the Republicans, in
spite of the fact that Protection has
made this country what it is to-day.
1t was the Democratic party that
provided the Wilson German Tariff
atrocity and precipitated a panic.
The DINGHY Tariff act was opposed by
the Democrats, but as a business
measure it has proved a tremendous
success. Now the Republicans are
disposed to add to the Tariff act the
original reciprocity features, repealed
by Democrats, and again the DEM
ocrats are shouting for Free-Trade.
The national Democratic party has
the record of doing nothing and op-
posing everything that has been done
to advance the business interests of
the country. 1t has always been so.
Upon the business tact and persistence
of the Republican party has depended
. the commercial advancement of the
United States. In spite of the I'M
broken antagonism of the Democratic
party the Republican principle of
business methods as applied to public
policies has always been applied.
When the Democrats were given an
opportunity to try their hand at Gre
ating a Tariff measure they made
such a lamentable failure of it that
the country rebuked that party and
sought to bring about recover by
the election of William Mckinley
The people spoke and Mckinley and
Repu blican Congress put the country
upon its feet again. And again Nc
Kinley was elected. and the business
of the country continues prosperous.
If there is any action to be taken up
on the Tariff question it will be upon
business basis, and that is enough
to insure proper action.

The FAULT OF The LAW.

Were any further evidence needed
OF the imperfect character of the
Maryland election law, it can be
found in the fifty or more contests
that are now on the political pro-
gram. This law was made by par
tisan extra session of the Maryland
legislature, called together to put
upon the statute books a measure
that would perpetuate the power of
the Democrats, and now, after the
first test of the law, twenty or thirty
Democratic candidates who have
been defeated at the polls come for
ward with the plea that ballots cast
in their favor were thrown out by
election judges, and that recount
will show that they were elected. AS
the supervisors of elections in most
of the counties in which contests will
be made did all in their power to
print the tickets in way that they
hoped would benefit their party, it is
fair to presume that every Democrat
who ran for Office at the November
election had, at least, as fair show
as his Republican opponent.
In truth, the Republicans have the
better grounds for their contests, las it
is generally conceded that the large
majority of the votes thrown out
were cast or were intended to be cast
for their candidates. Just what the
legislature or the courts will do with
these contests remains to be seen.
There will be Democratic majority
in both houses of the legislature, but
it will not be large enough to make
it safe for either body to attempt to
carry things with high hand, and a
policy of unseating Republican mem
bers fairly returned as elected would
be condemned by the people of Mary
land without regard to party.
The law and the makers of it are
to blame for bringing about political
conditions in Maryland which will
keep the state in hot water for long
time, and may seriously interfere
with important business to come be-
fore the Legislature. One election is
bad enough, but Maryland has over
fifty, and will be lucky if it hears the
last of them in year or more. The
law has some good features, but the
Legislature must take it in hand early
in the session, remove all the loop
holes for fraud left there by its max
ers, and so guard the printing of the
ballots that the disgraceful and alb
solutely dishonest work of this year
can never be repeated.

Potatoes are ROtting

The potato famine last fall will
not be circumstance to what is
threatened before spring. The crop
was a failure in many of the potato
growing districts of the country and
now comes the word from these same
districts that what potatoes are in
storage are rotting so that they will
be unfit for market. Many house
wives have been aware of this for
several weeks. Out of a peck of po-
tatoes it is often hard to get enough
for an average meal. The potatoes
are large and before the skin is bro
ken look good, but inside they are
black and watery.

A RESOLUTION has been introduced
into Congress to investigate Historian
Maclay. The really proper thing
would be to investigate not only Ma
clay but Sampon's connection with
his shameful book. There is a whole
lot of rottenness somewhere and it
should be located and those who are
guilty should have the proper medi-
cine administered. The people are
tired of the whole mess and want it
cleared up so that all the dirty work
and the dirty workers shall be shown
up properly.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS FOR FRIENDsvnLE

of the Times.
The town of Friendsville, this eoun-
ty, founded in the early part of the
past century by pioneer named
Friend, from whom the town derives
it's name, has been slow of growth,
more on account of its location away
from any railroad than any other
reason. Within the last ten or twelve
years, a branch of the Baltimore and
Ohio was built up the Youghiogheny
from Confluence, Pa, to the town of
Krug, one mile south of Friendsville.
From the day of the completion of
the railroad Friendsville and the en-
tire community has been steadily
growing and becoming more import
ant from business standpoint, for
with the introduction of the railroad
the almost inexhaustible tracts of
timber land has brought to the town
outside capital and resulted in the
establishment of many large lumber
plants giving work at good wages to
many hundreds of the citizens of the
town.
These mills as general thing are
equipped with all the latest improve
ments for the handling of heavy tim
Der and the manufacture of lumber,
including in some Instances complete
electric lighting plants and steam
tramways, over which logs are
brought to the mills from the 'eut-
tings.'
Now that Friendsville has become
important as business place her cit
liens realize the necessity for i'm
proyements, and as a result men are
now engaged in erecting electric light
wires along the streets and placing
them i'll all the stores and public
places of the town. AS soon as the
wiring is completed the electric plant
utilized for lighting the Meadow
Mountain Lumber Company's will
also be used to illuminate the town.
About one hundred lights will be
placed in the different stores and
places of business now. This num-
| Der may be increased in short
time.
The town is to be congratulated
upon this step in the line of progress.
May it ever continue to grow.
