The forests are largely confined to
the rainy side of the mountains, and
are necessary as a protective cover. to
keep the ground from washing from
the slopes and the rain from rushing
back too rapidly to the sea. The
presence of the forest cover, since 1t
makes the stream flow regular, pre-
venting both floods and periods of low
stream flow, is Indispensable to the
success of irrigating projects. The
value of this forest, strangely enough,
consists not SO much in the trees it
contains-for they are frequently low,
crooked, and sparsely scattered-as

breaks out in this way;
If the small farm promoters of Ha-

Is not the slightest question that TINS

There is ample opportunity for those

PROFITS FROM TOURISTS.

The citizens of Los Angeles, Cal.
have expended nearly s350,000 within
the past ten years in advertising. ex-
hibitions, etc, for the purpose OF at
tracing settlers and otherwise adver-
Using their city. 1t might be peril
nent to add that Los Angeles showed
the largest percentage of gain in pop
ulation during those ten years of any
city in America.
1t takes money to get tourists and
settlers but they pay larger dividends
on the amount of capital invested
than any other form Of security. They
are better than sugar or wheat or
iron or even Standard oil stock. What
tourists come to buy, climate, scenery
and new experiences, costs us nothing
and what they get of such things and
pay heavily for, does not diminish the
supply.
In ten years. as the Argonaut says,
Los Angeles has invested $3.50, 900 in
various forms of advertising. As a
result we know It gets n revenue II not
less than sl0.OO0OOO per annum. What
other line of business in the world pays
half So well? Certainly not gold min
ing nor diamond mining nor even
speculation.
Honolulu will make no mistake II it
adopts the Los Angeles plan and adj

belonged to, though his father had
been one of the highest masons in
Canada.
He was well and widely known
throughout the group and was particu-

never sought public office and was not
fond of politics, one reason perhaps
being his health. which always caused
him more or less anxiety, though one

he has done his duty well and his name
will ever remain among his friends and
the public at large as one Simplifying
