police station this forenoon and re.
ported that fellow countryman, also
q fisherman, had been drowned yes
terday while engaged in his trade off
Diamond Head. The deceased, whose

place near the reef off Diamond Head.
The weather was very rough and fin.
ally the sampan was capsized. va
NADIA could not swim while Fukuda
was good swimmer. While they
were struggling in the waves, Fuku'
da tried to assist his friend by swim,
ming with him on his back. TIE sam
pan was drifting away from the men

then running the line over he table
land and thence across the TantaiLs
ridge down into Makiki. II has been
thought by many that the scheme was
shelyed for good and all but when seen
yesterday by Bulletin reporter. Mr..
Desky gave different impression. lie
stated that the project was awaiting
the advent of better times. Mr.. Alex
ander had made the statement That ~
soon as there was a better outlook.
the $4,000 which he had promised 10
invest would be forthcoming to head
the list of subscribers. Mr. Desky said
he was not at all discouraged with the
present financial outlook. Things were
looking up and there was ccrtainly a
firmer tone. The Tantalus extension
OF the Pacific Heights road, opening
up miles Of most beautiful mountain
scenery in its virgin state, would SUI ely

COMBS IN THE Tolls

J. j. Combs. for whom the police
have been looking in vain for some
time, was arrested in Waikiki by OF.
ficer McDufie this noon. A charge of
gross cheat will probably be preferred
against Combs in connection with
his passing certain checks on Bishop
4 Co.'S bank while he had no funds
there.
Another complaint against Combs
was made at the police station this
morning. As a result he may have to
answer 10 a charge of larceny in the
second degree. A little girl and boy
went to Deputy Sherin Chillingworth
this morning and stated that yester'
day Combs had stolen a gold ring set
with three sapphires and a handker.
chief from their older sister. They
stated further that Combs went to
their house on School street yester.
day afternoon. He had been in the
habit of calling on the sister some
months ago. He walked around in the
room picking up various objects and
examining them. Finally he picked
up the ring and the handkerchief and
slipped them into his pocket. The
children saw him doing SO and told
him to return the things. Combs de-
clined. He said he was in a hurry to
get home and left the premises
officer McDufile reports that his cap.
ture of J. j. Combs had some quite com
zeal features. Combs was living in
room 400 on the fourth floor of the Mo
ana Hotel under an assumed name He
evidently saw McDufiie coming. lie
was on the fourth floor at the time. As
the officer went up to that floor in the
elevator, Combs went down by tn,
stairway to the third landing, where
he caught the elevator coming down
McDufiie made quite an extensive
search but could not locate Combs
Presently the carpenter employed al
the Hotel discovered that the doors o
meat safe. which he had just com
pleted, were shut. He had left then
open. He opened the safe and in the
place was Combs. The carpenter CALLED
McDuffie.
. Combs stated that he had no les.
than four rooms in different parts o.
town. He admitted to Deputy Sheriff
, Chillingworth that he was in posses
sion of the ring which he was ALLEGED
to have taken from the house on Schoo
street.

FORESTS AND RAINFALL.

Although experts are to be found
who can prove to their own satisfac-
tion that the destruction of forests has
little or no direct effect upon the rain
fall. experience in the eastern states is
assembling an array of practical proof
that cannot be upset by the most plaus.
ible theories. The last report of the
Association for the ProteCuon of the
Adirondacks presents new facts that
support the accommodating statistics
showing that destruction of forests is
responsible for, reduced rainfall.
The old farmers of New York bear
testimony to the decrease in rainfall
and lowering of streams since the re-
moval of forests In that state. In one
county stream that twenty years ago
furnished ample water power for sew
eral mills the year round, can now be
depended upon for only half the year.
Trees about the headwaters have been
cut away, thickly wooded swamps
cleared aud the result is seen in pas
lures. farms and mills of the creek
valleys. The same experience is re-
corded in nearly all the older settled
states Streams that fifty years ago
/ furnished ample water power for hun
dreds of mills now run dry In the sum-
mer and II Is claimed that not one in
twenty of the old mills is standing.
The mill owners claim that this does
not trouble them because they have
found II more profitable to operate in
the large milling centers. A heavy de-
probation of values in the farming
country has resulted on account OF the
serious drOughts.
Secretary Wilson OF the Agricultural
Department. In his report Tor 1902 on
the Appalachian mountain region, said
that water powers along the streams
having an annual value of 100000, 0O(
were being destroyed by deforestatior
OF the mountain slopes. He said fur
Their that the rate of land erosion OF
tho mountain slopes from which for
ests have been removed is now as grea'
in a single year as It was in Thousand
years while the slopes were covered
with forests. For the twelve months
ended April, 1902, the damage from
floods from the Appalachian region
: amounted to slS,000,O00.
In addition TO this direct damage thu
/ mountain torrents carried down grea
! volumes Of loose soil, destroying thu
: fertility OF mountain lands. and by de
posting this alluvium in the river beds
Ihlvo interfered with navigation. Tit
bad results are seen in the Ohio. Mis-
J sissippi. and Missouri rivers, and 1t L
! now clear that the partial deforesta
! ton of the Adirondack region has az
fected the flow of the Hudson, the Mo
? hawk, and the Black rivers In New
York
The conclusion is obvious. The coun

way for advancing enterprise eventual

Connecting Pastures by CausewaJ'
1t frequently becomes desirable to
have the pasture so arranged MS to
let stock pasture OH both sides of q
highway. The pasture is sometimes
located on one side Of the highway
and yard and watering place on the
other. Much time Is required to drive
cattle back and forth.
The difficulty can be overcome In a
very convenient way. Select place
where there is n little rise in the
ground, say from to 4 feet, the mors
the better. Construct wide ditch:
from 10 to - feet, so It will easily adj

at bottom of It, Make 1t from 2 to
feet deep, MS the natural condition

wise 1t would fill with water after very
heavy rains and be of no practical use.
A plank bridge is built across the
opening and the sides planked. It
should be made 51a TO 6 feet high to
admit the passage of all kinds Of stock
or even horses below. The earth taken
out In digging is used In constructing
the grade on each side of bridge. The
bridge, as well ms grade or dump, must
be made as wide as required by law.
The deeper It is practical to make the
ditch, the less It will be necessary to
dump upon the grade. A tight fence
must be constructed from the pasture

stake is pressed into the. ground near
the vine and the vine is fastened to
1t with cord of waterproof kind. II
the trellls is built during this first year
this cord is run TO the first wire the
top one) and fastened. The vine will
make the growth about as shown In the
cut during this first year. The trellis Is
nh important feature of the plan. The
posts should be set eight feet apart,
and SO that they will stand about six
feet out of the ground. Two wires are
used In the position, us shown in the
cut, the wires being fourteen inches
apart. In training the vine for the
second year cut off all that portion
above the top wire, and as the lateral
canes grow select the strongest opposite
each wire, one on either side of the
main stalk, and train them along the
wires; this gives us two arms, so to
speak, running along each wire at the
end Of the second year from planting.
The third season the fruiting buds
must be handled. and 1t Is good plan
to select every other bud to supply the
canes necessary for tile upright growth
from the arms. This upright growth
Is shortened In from time to time dur
Ing the growing season, SO US to throw
the strength into the frulting canes,
This system Of training requires labor,
but 1t gives most excellent results.
