DEBT
TO BISHOP WILLIS

II the Easter Offering of the members
of st. Andrews Cathedral reaches the
size that is hoped and expected by
Bishop Restarick. there will be wiped
out almost within the year Of the con-
secration of that edifce the last re-
naming debt which Is recognized by
the members of the corporation. This
Is the H,750 due to Bishop Alfred Will
lis, now of Tonga, who, before he left
the Islands, carried out the wish of his
heart TO consecrate the Cathedral.
The debt of the corporation was rec
ognized all along, and the fact that 1t
still remains over the heads OF the
people Is "A sore spot in the minds of
many of the devoted churchmen, The
intention OF the Bishop is to devote the
major portion OF the Easter Offering to
the eXtinguishment of this debt. There
has been some question since the issu-
ance or the pastoral to the members
or the congregation as to the formality
attending the conservation while the
debt was over the parish, the debt be-
ing one due To the consecrating officer
OF the church. 1t is explained, how
ever that there Is no lien on the Ca
thedral the debt being simply one
acknowledged by the corporation.
In ADDITION 10 this debt, there will
be needed $3.50 for sewer connections,
which must be raised soon.

The BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE

Editor Advertiser: An Impartial
estimate of the plans for new Board
of Agriculture, as contained in your
! issue of March 10, cannot affirm these
! to be in the best interests of agricul-
| ture in the Islands.
A board to outline and direct the
work of the department might be OF
use, though there was one in the past
that accomplished little.
Dividing the department, as propos-
ed, into two divisions, viz, forestry and
entomology, with an expert at the head
of each, mutliplies offices. The Terri
tory already has department of Ento-
mology, with one of the best entomol-
ogists in the world, Mr.. Koebele, in
charge, who does not complain OF over
work.
The proposed turning over of purely
Agricultural matters to the United
States Experiment Station is practic
ally abandoning the most important
part of the work for which the depart
ment Is supposed to exist. i. e., the
importing of new and better varieties
of trees, plants and seeds and placing
them in competent hands in different
portions of the Islands, to the end that
production be increased and new indus
tries established.
Soil. elevation and location on the Is
lands make so many changed conditions
that the experiments conducted on Tan
talus will not have a wide range of
utility. Furthermore. the United
States is not making special importa-
tons for the benefit of these Islands
There is wide enough field for the
Territorial Department of Agriculture,
and it should not be abandoned
If the Commissioner of Agriculture
would spend one or two thousand dol
lars In importing Bluefied banana
plants and place them in the hands of
growers on the different Islands, the
expectation of bananas would increase
many fold in few years. He might
start IA new industry if he would i'm
port vanilla cuttings from Mexico and
from the Fiji Islands in sufficient
quantities for distribution in the hands
of responsible parties on the different
Islands, SO that II would be tested on
all the different soils, elevations and
locations.
Navy other things might be tried,
but the above samples illustrate the
openings for valuable activity in the
Territorial Department of Agriculture
not covered or anticipated in the
United states Experiment Station.
The Government Nurseries should
raise and distribute many useful and
beautiful varieties of trees and plants |
not now represented here, as well as |
improved varieties of tropical fruits.
1t Is 10 be hoped that the committee
considering the proposed changes will |
not be so blinded by fictitious claims /
as TO attempt to so emasculate the Ter
ritorial Department Of Agriculture.

east of Canton, which is known as

McWade as n source of the disease,

that the new treatment has created the
greatest interest among the Chinese
and Manchu officials.
Concerning his own observation of
the merits of the new cure. Consul
McWade writes to the State Depart
ment:
1.-THE results OF the first four cases
have gone far to show that DR.. Razlags
work of treatment has gone beyond the
stage OF experimentation. AS I have
personally witnessed the progress of
the leper patients from the nauseating
and repellant stages of foul liberation
to comparative recovery, have neces-
sarily strong belief in the efficacy OF
his methods. And as I have had con-
siderable personal experience and some
practical knowledge on these and kim

features of the remedy. The medicated
baths include wide range OF drugs

Together with the treatment Is the
scheme of an island hospital, such as
has been planned for the Philippines
and is now in use in the Hawaiian
Islands.
Concerning the cases which have
been successfully treated. Consul Nc

buildings furnished by the Viceroy of

four months three of the patients, one
of whom was teacher in the Amer
