straight stem. It is intolerant of shade
at all ages, and will not terminate or
grow without large amount of light.
Koa also has the fern underground
which characterizes the lehua, though
as it grows in somewhat drier situa-
tons it's underground is usually not so
luxuriant. The ie-ie vine especially is
seen in koa forest.
Mamane grows successfully only on
the high slopes of Mauna Kea and
Hualalai. It originally extended down
to an elevation Of about 1000 feet on
the north slope of Mauna Kea, but was
killed out at this elevation apparently
by the encroachment of Bermuda grass.
But little Of it is now found except be-
tween 5000 and 5000 feet, at which ele-
walton it forms a belt clear around
Mauna Kea. In this situation it is no.
table for it's rapid extension within
the last few years up and down the
mountain.
Kukui, a handsome tree with large,
silvery leaves, pointed like the leaves
of the California sycamore, character
ICES the bottoms and sides of gulches
and streams to an elevation of 1000
feet. It is frequently called candlenut,
because of the oily nut which it pro-
duces in abundance, and which in olden
times was used by the natives for IL
Elimination. The kukui has value only
as a cover for the steep slopes where
it Grows. In almost all cases it has be-
meath 1t a dense underground of fern.
In very moist coves, protected from Sc
we're winds, the wild banana often
forms part Of its underground. Near
the edges of streams the kukui is fire.
quently supplanted by the ohia-ai,
which, in small patches, forms the
densest forest to be found in the is-
lands.
Mixed forests of koa, koaia, kopiko.
kolea, naio, qua and other species oc-
cur on nearly all the islands, particu-
larly on portions too dry for the spe-
cies above named to form pure for
ests. Thus, on approaching a forest
area from desert, one encounters first
a mixed forest and afterwards a pure
forest of some Of the kinds mentioned.

fer distinctly from their cogeners in
the United States.
The forests are composed mainly of
lehua, koa, mamane and kukui, and
mixed forests. which are made up of
koa, koaia, kopiko, kolea, naio, pua and
other species.
The ohia-lehua, which forms pure
stands or growths with small admix-
ture of koa, naio, kopiko and qua on
all the different islands, is the typical
forest of regions Of very heavy rainfall,
such as northeast slopes and mountain
tops under 5000 feet elevation. It COM

tive forest.

Fremen Injured.

Nine tiremen were injured and prop
erty valued at $50, 900 was destroyed in
a hire which broke out in five-story
building in Minneapolis None of the
t1remen were fatally injured, while the
ire loss is nearly covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is unknown. It
was discovered by the night watch
man at the Lyman-Eliel Drug COM
pany, who saw smoke issuing from the
front windows in the fifth story. Nc
sooner did the first piece of apparatus
arrive at the fire than general alarm
was sounded and the battle began in
earnest. No fewer than eleven hose
lines were laid and every effort was
made to keep the flames confined to
the burning building.

The City Of Devils Lake some time
ago authorized the issuance Of bonds
for aid in the erection Of q bridge
across Pelican Point, in Devils Lake..
to bring q large section of farming
country into closer communication

of the issuance sof $6, 500 bonds in
aid Of the project and the bonds, were
advertised for sale. ,.s 13sS .. n 5.5 M
Mabel Manning, resident and tax
payer Of the city, applied for tem-
porary Injunction restraining the sale
of the bond, on the ground that the
city had no legal right to isesue bonds
IN aid Of the project, as the bridge
proposed to be built was several miles
outside of the limits Of the city.
