NATURAL PAINT POTS IN
THE MOUNTAINS OF HAWAII
Red Hematite Ore Deposits Containing High
Percentage of Iron Utilized by Homo
lulu Painter for Years.

Somewhere in the mountains of the
Hawaiian Islands are vast treasures of
mineral paint. but their whereabouts
are known to but few persons. There
is enc man in Honolulu, however, who
for years has made use of these de-
posits in his trade as a painter. and
many ships here have been covered with
the solution made from it, roofs pre-
served. and plantation mills and steel
work of all kinds have been enveloped
with it.
William Philips, kamaaina If for
ty-eight years residence in Honolulu.
who carried on the business of painter
for forty years, has made much use of
this composition which is generally
known as hematite Just where in the
islands the stuff is to be obtained, Mr..
Philips does not state, but that it is
in the islands is known to several of
the druggists.
In Mr.. Philips's little private shop un-
der his house on Fort and Kukui
streets, a reporter was shown large
quantities of the clayey material just
as it had arrived from the mountains.
A ffve-gaIlon oil tin filled with it was
so heavy that it could not easily be
lifted AS the material contains about
62k per cent of iron. the weight of a
small quantity is considerable. A mag
net thrust into it attracts clumps to
the poles and through a magnifying
glass tiny iron particles can be easily
seen clinging to the steel. Mr.. Philips
took painters knife blade-full of the
stuff which in it's natrgal state is of a
dark dull chocolate color, and laid ii
on a piece of glass. To this he added
half a teaspoonful of boiled linseed oil.
There was perfect harmony in the
adhesion of the two and under the pres
sure of the knife the clayish hematite
became a rich, dark brown glossy mix
ture. AS the blade passed over the glass
there was a gritty sound indicating the
iron. When white lead was added the
stuff took on a rich light chocolate hue.
This is the paint which I have been
using for years. said Mr. Philips. 1T
has been sold over the counters of some
of the most reputable dealers in Ho-
nolulu, and it is certainly the finest
preservative material for ships, plan
tations, iron and steel bridge mate
rails, roofs and even in the finer paint
ing of carriages and wagons.
There has been a general belief that
the Hawaiian Islands, being of volcanic
origin, contained no minerals, but when

The annual meeting of the Oahu Polo

of many changes, according to the
present outlook The club will take
steps for the taking of its proper place
in the association and plans will be put
on foot for the carrying out of the ar
rangements which will eliminate next

ted for the local club which gave the
affair in the neighborhood of $1,000,
counting the gate money and the sub
scriptions as WELL This paid all ex-
penses and meant a small sum for di-
viding between the clubs which sent
teams The local organization has
been the recipient of many congratula-
tory messages upon its conduct of the
tournament, and is we'll satisfied with
the outcome.
There is some politics in the club in
connection with the election of presi-
dent There are three men mentioned
for the place and it is certain that there
will be no dark horse introduced into
the field. S. E. Damon, the present
president, is being strongly backed,
while some of the active members of
the club are in favor of promoting the
president, J. P. Cooke, to the top
place for the coming year The favor
tie, however, is Capt. w. F. Dillingham;,
who did so much to make the past play
a success. 1t is believed that if there
is any change he will be elevated, and
if not he is certain to be the captain
for the next year. The men have the
utmost confidence in him and they will
show it by the votes which they will
cast for him for whatever office he is
mentioned.

you take into consideration that the fin
est paints used come from Italy. which
is also volcanic country, there is no
reason whatever that minerals cannot
be found here. There is iron in this
stuff.

Its granular structure is sufficiently fine
to mix wen with oils. 1t contains about
the same amount of iron as that in
the markets, and it's color is practically
the same. This pigment is one of the
cheapest. It sells in Honolulu for two
and half cents per pound. 1t is not

do not know how it sells in markets
other than Honolulu. The oxide sub
mitted for analysis will contain from
sixty to seventy per cent iron. The
analysis of that from the market shows
about the same per cent iron

wick, the material is a marketable
one. The market in Honolulu is limited.
The pigment occurs in quantities
through many sections of the world"

A masterpiece of censorship was

production of Shakespeare's "Othello'

LOOK FOR
BASEBALL
GROUNDS

Interest among men who have to do
with amateur sports is now centered in
the securing of a ground suitable foI'
baseball in the summer and football in
the fall. The Baseball League has TAX
en- up this question in earnest and there
will be- within the coming week prob
ably. an agreement reached which will
have to do with the leasing of a site for
field and contracts for its being fenc-
ed and a grand stand put in.
The committee, consisting of one
member from each of the League clubs
will meet this afternoon and make
tour of investigation about the city for
the purpose of inspecting various places
which have been offered for the
grounds There has been definite con-
clusien that the propositions which
have been made by the Mckinley Park
committee and the Boys Brigade can
not now be accepted for the reason
that the expense connected with the
game makes it necessary that there be
an opportunity to make an admission
charge, and this is impossible in the
Park and would not in the opinion of
the players be sufficient if the grounds
were taken into the cross street.
There are several grounds in sight.
but it is impossible to make out any
one of these as the favorite. The men
who compose the committee are al a
loss what to do as the expense connect
ed with filling and dwelling is SO great
that this may make il impossible for
the carrying out of their plans. The
sites which seem to meet with the most
favor now are those IN Kalihi, just back
of the Kamenameha schools, and in
Pawaa just across the street from the
Mckinley Park. The Bishop estate at
the latter place has offered a plot of
ground which will be capable of being
fenced and the stands and enclosures
would not cost in addition to the level
ling more than about $4,000.
A proposal has been suggested that
which would place the fences about the
grounds and build grandstand for the
right to use the surfaces for adver-
Using purposes. This is not definitely
understood by some of the men, but
the makers are being kept in touch with
the developments in the search, and it
is probable that plan will be asked
for at the meeting of the League, which
is to be held on Tuesday evening next.
The men who are to play in the colors
of the Elks next season will warm up
tomorrow afternoon at Kapiolani Park.
There win be two mines and the inten-
ton of Captain Cunha is to try out
some of the applicants for places in the
team. There will follow other games
and the team as it is new organiza-
ton will need and take more warming
up than the others of the League.
President D. P r. Isenberg of the
League will take hold of the work on
Tuesday night next and he is confident
that there is a good outlook for the
coming season All of the teams will
have strong aggregations out and there
seems little chance that the lineup of
the past year viii be changed in many
respects.

FRUIT TREES ARRIVING.
Over $500 Received at North Yakima 10 Last
Two Weeks.

The Yakima fruit raiser is not dis
couraged in the least. as is evidenced by
the great number of fruit trees that are
being received here this spring. Some
thing like $500 trees have already been
received here and it is authoritatively
stated that about that many more are
on their way or will be shipped in by
April LIST. The largest consignment was
received last week for G. Blair and Mr..
Desmerias of the Mckee, consisting of
$500 trees. Those received by Mr.. Blair
are for six parties and Mr.. Desmerias
represents Is Frenchmen who settled in
the Mckee last year. I. L. Walen, A.
F. Shannon, F. R. Henry, A. X. Burt,
Scott Cramer and A. G. Ballenbach are
among those who received large sized
consignments. A great many trees in
small lots have been sold in the city to
those who have nothing more than town
lots to plant them on, and besides fruit
trees hundreds of dollars worth of shrub
berry have been sold for decorative pur-
poses to parties in the city. A great
many fruit trees have also been sent into
the Zillah and Sunnyside districts, and
from all indications it looks as though
the acreage planted to fruit trees in Yak
ina this year will be double that of last
year.

NEW IRRIGATION BILL.
Provisions Of the Measure as Reported BY the
House-Affects 10 States.

Congressman Mendell of Wyoming re-
ported from the committee on Irrigation
of Of arid lands house bill 1876, which is,
in effect, the same measure which passed
the senate March /, with the addition of
a section providing that the major por-
ton of the money derived from the sale
of public lands in the arid states should
be employed in the construction of irri-
CATION works within the states from
which the government received the
money. This amendment, however,
allows the secretary of the interior, who
is to carry out the provisions of the act,
considerable latitude, for he is given a
period of 10 years in which to equalize
the expenditures in proportion to the re-
ceipts.
The report is lengthy document, COW
ering the entire ground of national aid
to irrigation in all its bearings and pre-
senting many statistics to show the i'm
portance of the work which it is pro-
posed the government should undertake.
Thirteen states and three territories
come under the provision of this bill.
These Is political divisions contain about
?75,000, 900 acres of land, or a little more
than half of the entire area of the United
States, exclusive of Alaska. OF this
area it is estimated that about 53S, 000,-
600 acres are still subject to entry under
the land laws of the United States and
would be directly or indirectly affected
in course OF time by any general scheme
of irrigation. 1t is shown that in 40
years Of pioneering, the western farmers
have achieved the irrigation of about
900 acres of land, expanding $780,
600, 900 for that purpose. 1t is estimated
that perhaps $4,000, 900 acres can be irri-
gated within short time with the avail
able water supply properly conserved
and distributed and that in course of
time, through the development of the
irrigation work, that at least $4,000, 900
acres can be put under water. II is
shown that condition of affairs has
been reached where it is necessary to
undertake enterprises of great magnitude
before the irrigated area can be extend
ed. These enterprises represent much
larger investment than private capital
will undertake with the uncertainty of
future returns sufficient to pay the in
terest upon bonded Indebtedness and
the large profit required by those who
exploit a novel field.

CIGARS FORCED UPON HIM.
One Reason Why General Grant Be-
came Such a Great Smoker.

A reason can generally oe found for
everything. Everyone is aware of the
fact that General Grant was addicted
in an abnormal degree to the smoking
habit. General James Grant Wilson,
in a recent address before the his
torical society of Philadelphia. ac-
counts for his excesses in this re-
gard. Among the yarns spun by the
speaker was the following: 1T seems
that after one of Grants great victo-
ries he was seen riding down the line
with half-smoked, unit cigar In his
mouth. In reporting the affair the
war correspondents one and all men
toned the incident of the half-burnt
cigar.
at was not long after that every
express from the North brought the
general packages of cigars, until there
were 10000 cigars received at camp
Up to that time Grant had been in
the habit of smoking but two or three
cigars a day. But with this unlimited
supply and feeling that as they were
gifts he could not give them away
he started to smoke them wholesale
and thus acquired a tremendous appe
| tite for tobacco.
