The March number of the Hawaiian
Forester and Agriculturist has just
been issued, and as the preceding num-
Der have been, is filled with matter of
interest to everyone who takes any in
terest in the progress of the Territory.
Under the editorship of w. M. Giffard
this periodical treats in a broad and
catholic way the subjects of forestry
and agriculture in their relations to
conditions that exist here. Without any
hobby-horse riding, or fad following,
there is a hospitality to new ideas that
can scarcely fail to greatly benefit the
territory both on it's material and it's
intellectual side.

Leap Year Dance.

Last night at the opera house number of young ladies did them selves proud in the manner in which they conducted the first "Leap Year Ball" that has been given in Williams for many a day. Those connected with the function and who played the "host's" part were Misses Elizabeth Woods, Alice McIntire, Rose Carnes, Susie. B. Johnston, Vada Springfield, Eliza McIntire, Elizabeth Lindsay, Ma bel Adams and Bertha Beecher.
 From appearances, the idea was to make the dance as suggestive of its name as possible. Dainty pro- grams had been secured which rep resented a maiden clambering up a ladder to kiss youth over the garden wall. This, of course was suggestive, but nothing of the sort happened in the hall.
 By their untiring efforts for sev- eral days past the ladies were able to transform the hall into a verit- able bower of beauty. Suggestive cozy corners had been arranged with bountiful supply of cushions to make the unwary youth at his ease, while everywhere were decor ations of red, and innumerable hearts, representing bleeding hearts, and for all it was leap year affair we don't believe one of the ladies had nerve to take advantage of it. With womanly instinct they tried by serving an elegant lunch to touch the boys hearts through their stomachs and some of them will no doubt be successful.
 The music was of that kind which stirs one on to action whether he will or no, being furnished in a masterful manner by Harry Miner and Busch.
 From a social standpoint the evening was an unqualified success, and the young ladies are deserving of much praise for their efforts. While we know none of them had designs on us we were glad to be present and greatly enjoyed ourself.

Green River Navigation.

Another effort is being made to es-
tablish steamboat line on Utah
rivers. This time it is B. T. Yokey
of Green River, Utah. who is now in
Denver establishing a company to r-n
steamer line on the Grand and Green
rivers. The scheme as proposed is to
rln side wheeler from the town If
Green river to its outlet in the Grand.
and up the Grand to Moab, distance
of 1S0 miles.
Some years ago there was a propel-
ler boat plying ON the Green river.
but it was not built for shallow water
and proved unsuccessful. The scenery
along the river is varied and beauti-
full, running through pretty canyon
with palisades of sandstone and var
led colored shade. Deposits of crude
oil and jetsam are found in abund
ance along the river.
One of the ideas in the mind of the
promoter is to erect large hotel at
the junction of the Grand, Green and
Colorado rivers. in large fertile
bottom land. Two miles below the
proposed botel site and near the fam

Mayor Sainpliner has made this
