Kirk Munroe, the we'll known writer
of books for boys. is Honolulu visitor
| at present. He is just returning from
a nine months trip around the world.
during which he gathered much mate
rial for new juvenile stories. Mr.. Nun
roe has been in Honolulu for a week
or more but leaves on the City of Pc
king for San Francisco and his home
in southern Florida.
Kirk Munroe's name is almost a
household word for the younger mem
bers of the family, and his sroiIes of
adventure have also found many ad-
mirers among the older folk. Some of
his stories which may recall the name
to Honolulu: readers are: 1.-THE Flam-
ing Feather, Spaniards and Hug
uenotes in Florida" "Caneomates. A
Story of the Florida Reef and Ever
gIades", "Snowshoes and Sledges, A
Story of the Yukon" Under Orders,
A Story of a Young Reporter" 1.-The
Copper Princess, A Story of Upper Mi
chigan," Forward March, A Story of
the Spanish War" and others with
somewhat similar titles.

Our Florida mangoes do we'll. know

take from 500 to 1000 choice mangoes at

FILE A PROTEST

Hackfeld & Co. have lodged a pro-
test with Collector Stackable against
the closing of Lahaina as port of
entry. Hackfeld & Co. wish the time
for the closing of the port extended
until January 1st. They say that they
have a number of vessels on the way
to Lahaina with coal from Newcastle.
and that it would be an inconvenience
and an added expense if the port is
closed.
Collector Stackable has not acted up
on the matter as yet, and Will probabl
take no action further than sending
the protest to Washington.
The port will be closed on July 1. un-
less cable communication with Secre-
tary Shaw by Hackfeld & Co. brings

ROAD MAKING HINT.
How to Use Rough Material, Such ~
Large Field Stones, to REASON
able Advantage.

The only way to use rough material,
TO make long. continuous causeways in
the bottom of the grade. bringing or fill
ing the stone foundation up TO a uni
form level on top by placing the large
stone on the outside in a straight line
for protection to hold the stone grade,
then the next size in the bottom Of
holes and low places. using all Of the
small ones on top, leveling up to an
average depth of about one foot .hick
and ten feet wide. writes A. J. Sager. in
the Climax tMich.) Cereal. The OBJ
iect in asserting and placing the stone
with the small ones on top is to give
the grade a uniform. even surface to
drive over with stone and dirt while
building.
When the grade is new the earth
cover will cut through to the email
stone On top. causing a uniform. even
rut to be formed. carrying the load
until repairs are made the next year,
whereas. ii the stone is dumped into
the bottom and top Of the grade hap
hazard the surface will be uneven, the
sides irregular and the road impossible
while new for heavy loads during the
wet season. Again. IL the small stones
are placed on top OF the stone grade
they will keep the earth cover from
settling into the voids between the
large stones in the bottom, thus form
ing a good. practical drainage for the
earth cover before any bitches are made
for the new road grade.
The earth cover for the stone grade
should be hauled from the banks Of
high land. using gravel mixed with
little clay or clay hardpan, not using
the black loan. sods or other rough sur
face material at hand. because 1t is more
convenient. The same care should be
used in selecting the material to cover
the center of permanent stone cause
way. as in permanent earth road con-
struction.
