FOREST RESERVATION

Editor Evening Bulletin: The plan
proposed by the Planters Association
tor creating forest reserves. should he
carried out with great caution. " the
same IL to be passed by the Legislature.
Hawaii Is today confronting n condl-
ton. the same 10 be more keenly real
tied In the future, due solely to the re-
lance on one main industry. The
future competition Of American beet
sugar formidable and dangerous
rival to be. should awaken the Terri.
tory to the needs Of other staple pro-
ducts.
II a condemnation Of large and valu-
able agricultural tracts. for forest re-
serves. be undertaken. detrimental
policy will he inaugurated, which will
check Hawaii's future diversified agri-
cultural development. and with such a
policy. Hawaiis future prospects will
he on the wane.
The contention that forests bring
rain. does not hold good on insular
conditions as we are.
The cause of rainfall is more prob
ably due to air currents that are laden
with moisture. being preclpltated into
rain, when atmospheric conditions are
favorable.
The proof OF this fact is clearly
shown that in the last year more rain
has fallen on the island OF Hawaii than
in any years previous when record OF
the precipitation of rainfall has been
kept This in the face Of 4 condition,
showing that there exists today on Ha-
wall at least 10000 acres less of for
ests than twenty-five years ago.
II is true that the forests conserve
the water. and II would be therefore
wise to preserve forest belts, in sec
lions OF country where streams eman-
ate and flow, but to proceed on whole
sale condemnation OF valuable agricul-
tural tracts, and private land holdings
Is a dangerous proceeding.
Hawaii needs today encouragement
to diversified agriculture, influx OF new
capital TO develop same. railroad de-
velopment, etc, all of which will grad
ually bring Hawaii 10 plane of a
bright and prospective future.
To arrest this possibility. means tc
strangle our future growth.
Such a forest reserve bill should
never pass the Legislature, at least in
such shape as proposed.
The government lands OF the Terri
tory are vested since annexation In
the Federal government, and II seems
movement should be set on foot &c
have the. Federal government at Wash
'ington take control OF the whole land
system OF Hawaii.
Schemes. as this forest reserve plan
will naturally accelerate such course
As independent American citizens hav'
ing our future welfare at heart, We
deprecate this forest reserve scheme, as
inimical to the future growth of the
Territory. and urge upon representa-
tives of the coming Legislature to turn
the measure down.
II we are to have forest reservations
then we consent only to such measure
II undertaken by the Federal govern
lment, under Federal supervision, sc
that all private interests OF whatever
nature may be justly safeguarded.

The Last Assembly Dance.

The last dance for the season given by
the Friday Night Assembl, was held at
the Armory last pight This dancing
club was organized last fall with quite a
large membership and the money paid
for the season tickets WAS supposed to
bear the expenses OF the entertainments
The money was placed in the Colorado
State Bank and was lost with all the
other moneys at the time OF the failure
OF that institution. Last week, however,
the account was sold and with The su m
so realized the expenses Of the final ball
were paid.
There was large crowd of ladies' and
gentlemen present to enjoy the last
dance of the series and they cer ainly
did have splendid time. The music
was good and nothing was lacking to
add to the pleasure OF the guests
Those who have attended any OF the
Assembly dances know that they are
managed in a most delightful manner

Chinese Ordered Out.

Silverton, Colo, May 15.-About two
months ago a boycott was started against
the Chinese restaurants and laundries in
this town. wh .ch succeeded to the extent
That all restaurants and most Of the laun-
dries closed their doors Two weeks ago
the proprietor of the o. X. restaurant
decided to reopen, as they had an i'm
preston they would not be again molest-
ed. Every thing ran fairly smooth until
Monday night. A little before l o'clock
two men entered the place and ordered
something to eat. While the Cinnamon
we're preparing the meal some twenty or
more men Came in and going to the
kitchen placed ropes about their bodies
and necks, led them to a bridge below
the town about one mile. There they
we're roughly used and turned loose with
instructions to leave the country as soon
az possible. The Cinnamon were per
mitted to return to their place and have
since been making preparations to leave.
The few Oelestials who now remain IN
town held meeting Tuesday and
goodly number of prominent business
men were present. All condemned the
proceedings OF the men who did the
work Citizens Of Silverton are very
much wrought up over the affair.

For Another Industry.

For the past two weeks Messrs. Cam
eron & Began, realty dealers, have been
in correspondence with a gentleman in
Knoxville, Tenn, upon the proposition
to establish at this place a wooden mill,
with a branch hosiery manufacturing
house.
From the nature OF the letters received
from the gentleman, he is quite wealthy
and is very much impressed with the 10
cation Of Grand Junction for the es-
tablishment OF the factory. There is
certainly everything that could be de-
sired to make any industrial institution
a success at this place and it is to be
wondered at that already more have not
been established here.
A woolen mill would mean much for
the city and it is to be hoped that Gam.
eron & Began will be able to induce this
gentleman to erect mill hero. He
writes that he will visit this city in the
near future and see for himself just what
the locality looks like.

the responsibility. Tho party to whom
the article referred in Mayor Sampli-
ner's communication was not John
Dickerson, the driver OF the Ere depart
ment, which might have .bear inferred
by the item in last nights paper. In
Justice to Mr.. Dickerson the above
statement is made, as Mr.. Dickerson
states that many people who read the
item supposed that he was the party re-
ferred to in the article. Under any cir,
cumstances the charges do not amount
to anything, as no charges against any
man are Of consequence, when the sig
nature OF the party so making the

MONEY to Loan!

CERTAINTY OF CoNTRAcT.-The
loan plan here offered by The Fi>
deity is that of paying off loan
by easy monthly payments. The
contract is definite and certain. BY
its terms it cannot run BEYOND the
time fixed, but stock participates in
earning and may mature sooner. IT
is NOT a loan upon the building
loan plan as usually presented by
associations. 1t differs from such
a plan, in that
No fines are charged the borrower.
b The maximum number of payments re-
quired to ray otf is stipulated IN the note.
C The sum required to pay off and cancel a
loai, or any part of it, is stipulated in the
note for each period.
Certainty and a monthly payment plan
is an advantage to the borrower. ~ The
debt can be paid off before maturity with
out penalty. (2) The borrower by easy pay
ments gets out of debt. Straight loans for
term of years are too often renewed.
Three terms or payment are offered. 1t
takes a small monthly payment longer to
cancel debt than it does larger one.
ILLJSTRAT
A $50 per month repays $1,000 In not to
exceed 46 months.
$21 per month repays $1,000 in not to
exceed 70 months.
$14 per month repays $1,000 in not to

All the world IS becoming and interested
in the enterprise Of linking together the Atlantic and
Pacific Oceans by ship canal. Many think that the
idea is new one No serious attempt was ever made
before De Lesseys scheme took shape in France But
numerous suggestions had been offered As far back as
1851 Francis Lopez de Gomara in the reign Of King Ed
ward Ill it the three lines by which he believed the
Atlantic might be connected with the Pacific namely
the the isthmus Of Tehaunepec to which Fer
dnand Cortez had devoted especial attention. the Lake

mus Of Panama Of which mention made by Fran
cisco Pzarro Unfortunately the prosecution Of the Ell
terprise at time when Spain still possessed the powers
means and energy to accomplish it successfully was pre-
vented by ignorance and superstition Father Joseph de
shed in 1888 denounced the canal project as an ipious
conception asserting that "the punishment Of Heaven
would most assuredy fall upon those who should presump
uousy attempt to alter the wise arrangements of Prov
ldence Opposed by the church, plan was dropped
Spain gradually lost the last traces of the emery necessary
Tor accomplishing any great enterprise Through the
ceedng centuries however the idea Of uniting the two
oceans constantly occupied the attention distinguished
men Of different nations in 1929 mission was sent
by the King OF Netherlands Guatemala to enter into

the scheme Again in 1914 the government Of Nicaragua
made overtures on the subject the King the Bel

obstacles. and negotiations subsequently entered into
with France also proved frutess for a long time
