FACTS FOR INVESTIGATORS.

The plan of the Chamber of Com
merce to secure the formation OF -
committee of business men, to prepare
for the commission of Senators data
that may be requested i'm the pursuit
of their mission, commends itself as a
wise move. The men who will visit the
Islands to make the investigation are
those who will have little time for the
social side of Hawaii, owing to the
pressure of the business which brings
them. 1t win be, then, not n junket but
! q business journey.
The commission has power to send
for persons aud papers and viii have
the assistance of officials who have
been here before and know how TO get
about, and TO reach the points which
furnish the motive for the inquiry. The
entertainment of the Senators is only
side issue. The hospitality of the
/ islands is too well known to need a
committee to assure such visitors OF IA
distinguished reception. They win be
shown everything Of interest, and so
. long as 1t does not interfere with their
duties viii indulge In social pleasures.
/ But business Is the motto Of such men
as Senator Mitchell and Senator Foster,
men who have aided in the upbuilding
of the great Northwest, and of Senator
Burton and Senator Blackburn, who
represent the older portions of the ma
ton.
1t may be taken as assured that the
work of committee of business men will
be appreciated by the commissioners.
What they want is facts, and If they
can find well informed men ready to
give them the data concerning the bus
mess interests, they will assuredly en-
brace the opportunity to secure such
aid. 1t would be "A misfortune should the
Chamber and the Merchants fail t.

are other committees ready TO take q

commissioners, one of the first to be-

IMPLEMENTS TO FARMING.

The more that small farming is look
ed into in Hawaii the more clearly 1t
appears that it's troubles are due to Il
disturbance of natures system of
checks and balances. Two generations
ago this was virgin soil, to which was
imported various vegetables and fruits
and, incidentally, some Of the insects
that prey upon them. But as "A rule the
parasites which live off those insects
and keep their numbers down, were not
brought in; hence the result that enc
mics of vegetables and fruits pass all
bounds and make small farming in
Hawaii a hazardous undertaking at the
best.
Both the Territorial and Federal sci
ontists are studying this problem in the
hope that, eventually. they may get
natures machinery here in good work
ing order. Professor KOebele is sending
parasites from Mexico for one thing
and another; and Mr.. Van Dine, the
entomologIst Of the United States EX-
perlp,ent Station, is hard at work In
the same general line Of discovery. II
these gentlemen succeed in their eff
forts the time will come when no par
t'cular pest Of trees and vegetables will
have things its own way, but each, II
rot finally eXterminated. viii multiply

In the first place.
When that day has been reached, the
average householder can raise his own
vegetables and it will be practicable tc
set out big orchards for the supply OF

Treasure Island has not materialized
to the schooner Herman. People still
believe in Captain Brown and his story
of piratical treasure, buried at some
spot only known to him, but there are
those who begin to think that the
whole thing is a fake and that the aged
but astute old mariner has supplied
himself with an enjoyable yacht voyage
plus the ancient sailors delight of
grumbling and quarreling. The treas
ure is likely to prove but rainbow gold
after all.

Captain T. H. Griffith, that gallant
old sailor who had voyaged back and
forth from our Islands to San Francis
co, and who was familiar with every
harbor on the west coast, and with
with every frowning cape that stood
like a rampant into the flashing ocean,
has passed away and reached the ulti-
mate port of life, as so gallant a sail
or should. 1t seems poetic justice that
Captain Griffith should have died in
harness, rocked in his last moments by
the element on which so many years
of his busy and useful life had been
passed. 1t was sad, however, that he
should have passed away far from his
wife and from the pleasant home he
had built up on the mainland. There
was no more popular captain entering
this port than T. H. Griffith. Not only
was he esteemed by tine members of
his own profession, and by the owners
of the ships he commanded, but he had
a large circle of friends, on shore for
to know Captain Griffith was to adj
mire and respect him. He was a type
of the bluff, honest and Woodworking
sailor who had helped to build up the
merchant marine, and who kept the
personnel of its officers at a high stand
ard of efficiency and honor. MANY
one here has pleasant memory of
captain I. H, Griffith master mariner.

The proposal to make the tax shtIk-

burden of paying taxes. 1t is not the
amount of tax that a man pays which
entities him to a voice, but it is the
