boundaries which materially re-
duces the cost of fencing.
The part of Kaliulinui within
the Koolau Gap | consider a very
desirable addition to the reserve, as
it lies at the head of one of the
largest and most important valleys

Cloud: are constantly drifting in

water must be dropped on this up

For the adequate protection OF
the highly important watershed of
the Koolau district, l believe that
the forest lands in question should
be set apart, along with the large
area for which plans are now being
prepared.
| therefore Commend that the
board Immediately request theGov-
ernor to set apart as forest
reserve, after the hearing required
by law, the forested portion of the
Ahupuaa of Makawao; the boun-
diaries of the same to be as shown
on the map submitted by the Ha-
leakala Ranch Company.
| further recommend that the
two parts of the Ahupuaa of Kaliu-
linui, as shown, on the Haleakala
Ranch Company's map, be also
made a part of the forest reserve.
And l suggest that the board so
recommend to the Commissioner
of Public Lands.
In case an exchange is consum-
mated, a fencing clause should be
inserted as a part of the contract
The one suggested by the Halea-
kala Ranch Company in their let
ter meets with my approval. 1t
reads as follows: "To fence and
keep fenced during the term of the
charter of the company, all por-
tions of this forest reserve adjoin-
ing the Haleakala Ranch lands,
wherever fencing is necessary to
keep stock out of the forest"

JAPANESE STRIKE
AT ELEELE
But Fail to Obtain Advance
so Return to Work.

Last Wednesday was a day of
considerable excitement at Eleele.
The contract cane cutters of the
Eleele side of McBryde plantation
became dissatisfied with the con-
tracts they had entered into with
the plantation and demanded of
Manager Stodart that he raise the
contract price from eighteen to
twenty cents ton for cane cutting.
This was last Tuesday, and during
the night the japanese organized
themselves into a labor union and
sent out walking delegates who
visited every japanese employee
on the Eleele side of the plantation
and demanded that there be an alb
solute cessation of labor on the
plantation. Even the house SER
wants of Manager Stodart were
visited and given the ultimatum,
The affair assumed a serious aspect
before eleven o'clock Tuesday night
for the reason that it was the in
tention of the Manager that the
mill should start grinding Wednes-
day morning and a great many
japanese were employed in the mill
and these had all been ordered out
on the strike and had ageed to
join. Mr.. Stodart learned these
facts Tuesday night about eleven
o'clock and hastily made arrange
ments to start the mill next morn
ing as planned and use Chinese and
Portuguese in the mill in the place
of Japanese. Next morning the
one hundred contract cane cutters
of the Eleele side Of the plantation,
Joined by about four hundred cane
hoers, etc. refused to 90 to work
and not a japanese showed up at
the mill for work. Still the mill
was started as planned, and because

FOREST RESERVE
ON ISLAND OF MAUI
Forester Hosmer's Report to
Board of Agriculture. Pro-
posed Forest Reserve.


forest questions contained in the
proposition of the Haleakala Ranch
Company, of Maui, made jointly
to the Board and the Commits sioner
of Public Lands, under the date of
November 2, 1904.
1t is suggested by the Ranch
Company that the forest of the
government land known as the A.
hupuaa of Makawao, otherwise
and locally, as the Board of Edu-
cation land, containing 2021 acres,
more or less, be set apart as forest
reserve. To this area they propose
shall be added the forested portion
of the Ahupuaa of Kalialiaui, con-
tanning 1852 acres, more or less,
and also that part of the same land
lying in the crater of Haleakala,
in the watershed Of the Keanae
valley, 1866 acres more or less,
this provided that the proposed ex-
change shall be consummated.
Makawao is in the district of Ha-
makuapoko, Kalialiaui in Kula,
both on the Island of Maui Their
relation to each other and to other
adjacent lands is shown on the
large scale map, submitted with
the Ranch Company's report and
now on file in this office.
The forest portion of Makawao
was fenced by the Ranch Company
about eight years ago and stock
has, since then, been kept out of
the forest.
The forested section of Kalialia-
vi has only recently been set apart,
but fence now extends along it's
western edge from the lower reserve
to the steep pail above the Koolau
Gap and the cattle have been got
out of the woods. There is said to
be band of wild cattle in the
main forest, some distance makai
of this fence No estimate can be
given of its size.
Having personally visited the
lands in question and gone over
ground in some detail, | am reason
ably familiar with the conditions
thereon. My personal kno Wedge
of the district has been supplement-
ed ~ conversations and conferences
about the lands with the gentle
men most familiar with them, held
during Governor Carter's recent
visit to Maui, and at other times.
The area which it is proposed be
set apart and added to, consists of
a belt of forest, composed mainly
of Ohia and Koa trees, which
stretches up the northeastern slope
of Haleakala, from an elevation of
about $500 feet, near Piiholo Hill
to between 5000 and 1000 feet, near
the Koolau Gap the great break
in the crater wall of Haleakala, at
the head of Keanae valley. This
area is some twelve miles long by
about one and one-half miles wide.
The forest on this belt is the
western edge of the great Koolau
forest, which covers, in an unbrok-
en- stretch, all the eastern side of
Haleakala.
As the principal value of a con-
siderable portion of the Koolau
District is on account of the water
that can be developed therein for
the irrigation of the great Wailu-
ku Plain, it may be well in passing
TO consider the source of this
water.
The Koolau District can prob
ably boast as heavy precipitation
as any area in the Territory.
The highest records are from the
Keanae section, where, at Nahiku,
400 inches in a year have been re-
corded. On either sideof this sec
,tion he rainfall diminished, but

of the cane already cut and the
cane which came in from the La
wal side of the plantation the mill
was able to run steadily along all
day Wednesday, with the assis-
tance of the Portuguese and Chinese
who had been put in to the mill.
On the whole Eleele side of the
plantation not japanese touched
his hand to piece of work the day
long Early in the morning
delegation OF twenty men had gone
to Laval and had urged the Jap
anese employed on that side CT
McBryde to join them in the strike,
but these Laval japanese fatty re-
fused to have anything to do with
the matter, and stayed by their
work.
Late in the afternoon the Jap
anese began to see that they were
up against failure and repaired to
the Manager with proposition of
compromise. If the Manager would
give them 10 cents per ton instead
of Is cents which they had con-
tracted for, they would 90 back to
work and take with them all the
idle japanese on the plantation
Manager Stodart told them that
they had made a fair contract and
they either had to live up lit as
it had been made or throw il up

both sections are situated on the
eastern side of high mountains.
subject to trade winds. As yet not
very much is definitely known as
the exact way in which rainfall is
distributed over eastern slope OF
Haleakala.
For some reason the upper limit
of the heavy precipitation seems to
be higher on Haleakala than on
Mauna Kea, fact that makes it
desirable that the forest be kept
intact up to a higher elevation
than in Hilo.
The present edge of the Koolau
forest is not alone the arbitrary
line where the trees now stop and
the grazing land begins. 1t is, as
well, almost identical with the
place where the area of heavy pre-
cipitation finally fades away into
the drier climatic conditions of the
Kula district This transition is a
fairly sharp one, for the region just
beyond Olinda, which is only a
little way outside of the forest, is
as dry as part of Kula; a condition
probably due to the influence of
the mount ain upon the wind cur
rents, for the winds from either
direction die out on reaching this
locality
Its present edge may therefore
be considered as the natural boun
dary of the Koolau forest, as well
as the limit of rainfall that can be
depended upon.
But this is not the only reason
why the present forest should be
mainta aimed. The nature and con-
figuration eff the country is such
that in the strip of forest under
question, head all the important
streams from the Haliko gulch to
the Keanae valley; all the streams
in fact that drain the heart of the
Koolau district.
Nowhere in the Territory has
there been such systematic develop
ment of the water as in this dis
trict. And with the completion of
the new bitches large additional
areas, now of only comparatively
small value, will be made highly
productive, with a consequent gain
of just as much in the general pros
perity of the Territory.
The statement has recently been
made that for every million gal
Ions per day of water developed,
one hundred additional acres of
cane can be planted. AS the gov
ernment shares in this extension of
productivity, both through direct
taxation and also indirectly,
through the increase of wealth in
the Territory, this matter has
bearing which should be considered
in the proposed exchange, For if
the upper forest increases the
amount of water which can be
made available for use, and this
believe it does, just so much does it
increase the welfare of the Ter
ritory.
The Importance of protecting the
forest on the watershed of the
streams throughout the Koolau dis
trict is we'll understood by the
Baldwin interests. Plans are now
well under way whereby the whole !
stretch of the Koolau forest may be
made great reserve. To fully ac-
complish the desired end the lands
now under consideration should !
favor an exchange, provided it is
upon reasonable terms. Such | |
believe to be the case with the one
proposed.
From a study Of the conditions
on the ground, the line along the
edge of the forest, proposed by the
Ranch Company, most of which is
now fenced, seems to me to be as
good a boundary for the forest as
could be chosen. 1t includes pract-

DOESN'T 1t seem little odd that
President Roosevelt should appear on
the American stage in the role of a
trust-smasher at the present time in
the face OF the fact that there never
was time in American history when
the trusts levied 80 much tribute upon
the people as they do now? The Rough

old crowd to go home and
eat crow for a few weeks,

Hoch, Kelley and the entire
ticket. It's all right to talk

are composed principally of
rabbits, as Tom McNeal puts

For them to support him after
all this, is to silently admit
that they are no better than
Thomas.
