OFFICIAL REPORT MADE ON
MOLOKAI WATER RESOURCES

The island possesses the same equ-
able climate as that enjoyed by others
OF the same group; frost probably
never occurs even at the highest ele-
vations. The trade winds are strong,
especially during the winter months
and on the Northern coast, making ii
impossible to effect landing there
during long periods. There is in gen.
eraI a wet season from October TO the
end OF May and dry season including
the summer months. The west end and
part OF the south shore are In the arid
zone OF the island, and the whole moth
easterly part has an abundant rainfall.
There seems to be no data TO prove
the assertion that the rainfall on Mo-
lokai is decreasing. II is no doubt
true that the island formerly support
ed much denser population. This IS
indicated by many old garden patches
on streams which are now dry or carry
water only internationally. All this is,
however, most probably directly
ohargeable to the distractions OF the
forests and the following iiregularity
or disappearance OF the water supply.
The soils OF Molokai. divided into
residual and sedimentary soils, are
usually OF great fertility. The finest
body OF agricultural land on the island
is situated in the great gar near tho
western end, and has an area OF abou.
l400O acres Of deep-red soil unexcelled
for purposes Of sugar growing. The
principal problem OF the water supply
of the island Is how to bring the water
from that part which receives an
abundant precipitation to this arid por-
ton containing the rich soils,
In regard to vegetation, the southern
side OF the island may be separated
into several zones. There Is first the
immediate coast fringe. distinguished
by cocoa Palms and algaroba trees Ga

OF the South coast; the belt OF the

cay OF the forests. Hence, the remedy
would be to exclude cattle. goats, deer
and sheep, and TO plant exotic trees,
for instance, eucalyptus. acacia or
Monterey cypress.
The fundamental law governing the
water supply is that the only source OF
fresh water Is the rainfall. In Molokai
the part of the rain water that goes
into the ground sinks freely through
the porous rocks until II meets the sea
water, upon which 1t rests like sheet
and with which II must. therefore, min
gle more or less. This ground water
cmerges as salty springs at or near
sea level; as springs, few in number
and unreliable. at elevations Of from
1000 to $500 feet, there being practi-
cally no permanent springs up 10 the
l.O00-foot level, and as springs OF the
summit region, feeding the permanent
streams. The wells so far sunk have
usually degenerated into salt water
wells, or have yielded so much salt in
their water as to impair their useful.
ness. The permanent streams remain
as the source Of water for irrigation.
The principal problem on Molokai is
how to obtain water for the irrigation
of the $4,000 acres Of deep soil in the
great gap. Another problem is to oh.
tain water for the irrigation OF the

According 10 the ordinary estimates
OF sugar planters, 100000 gallons per

by DR.. Waldemar Lindgrep. is a des-
cription of the Island OF Molokal and
discussion Of the possibilities of its
water supply for irrigation for sugar
cane cultivation.
Molokai, the fourth In size OF the Ha-
waiian Islands, is a narrow strip OF
land extending 80 miles from East to
West, with an average width of lit
tie less than miles, and having an
area OF 26l square miles. In 1900 tho
population numbered about 24OO, in

King Edwards reign sees a wonder ful departure in many things. Social life, perhaps, presents the most amaz- ing variety. The old English home life is practically non-eXistent.

THE ROMANCE
 OF SURNA

There are probably many people who speculate about their ancestors and the origin of their family who are un- aware that an interesting and valuable clew is supplied by the very name they bear; and yet it is q fact that there IS scarcely single surname which is not ill way an index to family history
 It is instructive, for instance, to know that the original bearer of the name of Jennings was in all probabii- ity joiner; the first Thwaytes. a wood feller and the primevai Leech. a surgeon. The Mahshalls of today were originally smiths; the Websters are descended in the paternal line from 6 weaver: the Fullers and Walkers from a cloth fuller, and the I:al l.ers from a tanner.
 In days when surnames were un- known, and Christian names no longer served to distinguish one John or Will liam from several others in the same town or village who bore the name. nothing could be rpore natural than to label them with their different trades CT professions. Thus We find in early records mention oi John, the neighbor John, the Carter, the Chapman, or the Cowper, whose descendants thus de- rive their names of Taylor Carter, Chapman and Cooper from the trade label which, first served to distinguish their ancestors from his fellow towns men.
 Thus in cases where q surname indi- cates trade it furnishes a fairly re- , liable clew to the occupation of the ancestor who first bore it. information which could not probably be obtained from any other source. l. must net. however be concluded thar a surname is always to be interpreted quite liter ally, and that the ancestors of Q king or "lCrd'' were actually of royal or noble rank. It is more proba 5le that they had filled these exalted roles in the old world mystery plays. or had been ''lords'' and kings at popular sports and festivals.
 Similarly, surname is often q very useful clew to the country from which q family originally sprang. Thus tha original GascoiSnes no doubt came from GascoIy. the Britons ana Bretts from Brittany, the Scotts from Scot land. and the Normans from Nor mandy. Certain surnarnes. toe, which do not so clearly indicate the country of origin are distinctly traceable to certain foreign countries from which the original bearers almost certa inly came Thus the Conquests. Norleys, St- Aubyns and Lasceiies are O; Ere ton origin; the Harcourts. Percys and Nevilles are Norman, and so on.
 It is possible. too. to go a step far ther and on fair presumptive gr0unGs infer g crusading ancestor from such names as Mountjoy. the name Of an eTninence near Je3 usaIefil; from D'Acre, famous for it's siege and from Jordan, although it would not be wise to rely too much on s;,ch an Inference.
 The precise town or county which
