AGR|CULT URAL DEPARTMENT
FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS

What the Government did to pro-
mote agriculture and forestry for
eighteen months to the end of the year
1904 Is told in one of the bulkiest pub
lie documents presented to the Legisla-
ture. This is a book of 40 pages, be-
ing the First Report of the Board of
Commissioners of Agriculture and For
estry of the Territory of Hawaii, for
the period from July l, 1908, to Decem-
Der 81, 1904" The Boards report
proper occupies 32 pages, the rest of the
volume consisting of reports of off,
GERS.
There are five commissioners appoint
ed by the Governor, a sixth being the
Superintendent of Public Works-ex
officio a member of the Board and its
executive officer. On the LIST of Janu-
airy each year one commissioner re-
tires. Through the reappointment of
the retiring member (Mr. Thurston) on
January /, 1905, the Board retains the
same membership under which it was
organized on May IS, 1903, except for
change in the personnel of the Su-
perintendent OF Public Works, G. s.
Holloway having succeeded H. E.
Thurston, president; C. S. Holloway,
executive officer and secretary; w. NJ.
Giffard, A. w. Carter, James d. Dole
and Jacob f. Brown. The details of
work are subdivided among standing
committees.
TAKES NEW QUARTERS.
Upon the organization of the
Board" the report says, ut found it
self quartered in two rooms in the
basement of the Executive Building,
dark, stuffy and entirely inadequate in
every way" The corrugated iron
building at the government nursery on
King street-theretofore used as labor :
ers' quarters, and for fumigation and
storage purposes-was forthwith rem
ovated and converted into comfortable
quarters. at an expense of $4264. II
was occupied by the Board In Febru-
airy, 1904, and includes a museum room
for showing collections of woods ant
fruits, library in which meetings o
the Board and other meetings are held
offices for the superintendent of for
estry and superintendent of entomolo
gy, entomologist's laboratory, insec
breeding room, store room and offic
of clerk and stenographer. Being onl
ten minutes distant by electric ca
from the center of the city, and stu
ate in the large yard constituting tn
nursery, the Building is admirably
located and adapted to its uses.
THE LIBRARY.
After succinctly stating the power
! and duties Of the Board, the repor
describes the library that has bee
established. This contains approx
imately 2S4S books. pamphlets an
J magazines on agriculture, forestry an
l general subjects. and 494 on entomolC

Since the above was written Gov.
Carriers midnight statement was made.
The Governor says that he knows of
no charges against Mr.. Atkinson. I'm
der that head We must refer him to
the ex-parte Grand Jury report on the
basis OF which the legislature began it's
inquiry, making the personal charges
which reappear in the record of yester-
days proceedings. Charge one by the
House committee is as follows, it being
needless to recapitulate the rest:
Charges. /. The Superintendent of
Public Instruction has long maintained
a personal Indifference as to the proper
or improper performance, by teachers,
of their duties, and takes little, II
any personal interest in their re-
sponsibilities and advancement. His
personal presence is an unknown fac
tor in the schools.
1t is hard to consider these charges
and the subsequent request-or hint
for Mr. Atkinson's resignation, as hav-
ing nothing to do with cause and effect.

Mr. Schwab has scheme to make
Bethlehem, Pa, to America what Essen
is to Germany. He would use the Beth
lehem Steel Company to control the
gun market. to build and ann navies
and to equip armies with artillery. The
enterprise is typically American one
as TO size and 1t is surprising that some
of the multi-millionaires have not at
tempted it before. Mr.. Schwab, despite
the collapse of the United States Ship
building Company, seems to have all
the capital needed for the work.

General Traffic Manager Stubs Of
the Hartman railway lines has lost
his place as the best paid railway Of
ficial on the mainland because he signed
an agreement with Paul Morton Of the
Santa Fe to keep up freight rates and
divide the business. And he didn't lose
his job for signing the agreement,
either-which paradox may be briefly
explained by stating that he made the
mistake of being found out. That is the
objectionable commercial sin. also.

The Governor is TO be congratulated
on his common sense way of dealing
with the Atkinson case in its present
stage. Instead Of being summary with
the veteran Superintendent, he has
granted his request for hearing. An
investigation of the school department,
to be carried on by Mr.. A. F. Judd, as
sures a square deal all around and the
public should have reason to be salts
ned with the procedure from this on.

THE ATKINSON CASE.

without knowing all the circum-
stances which had to do with the Gov
ernor's tacit request for the resignation
OF Superintendent Atkinson, this paper
feels itself safe in saying that fair
play has been more honored In the
breach than the observance.
Certain charges, to which Mr.. Atkin-
son had no chance to reply, were made
against the conduct of his department
and his own conduct by legislative
committee. The evidence" on which
some OF the charges were based came
from the testimony Of Kalimahana CD
whom Representative Mahelona took
into a saloon and piled with liquor UNI
til he signed a statement duplicating
the school authorities, a statement
which he has since repudiated in an
affidavit. What other evidence there
may have been we do not know, but
we do know that Supt. Atkinson was
not confronted with 1t, was not given
a show to clear himself and is held to
be guilty without being afforded a
chance to prove himself innocent. 1t
is precisely the course which the polit-
ical grafters who have been conspir-
ing for his job would like to have had
taken.
Furthermore a legislative committee
which is seeking more evidence in the
case has shut its doors to press and
public and even to the Commissioners
of Public instruction as appears else
where on this page. This inquisitorial
committee came very near excluding
the Superintendent attorney. 1t is
impossible to say, therefore, how far
the Mahelona methods of rounding uI
witnesses are still being employed
The Advertiser feels called upon tc
remind the Governor that the public OF
Hawaii will not be satisfied to have
Mr.. Atkinson railroaded back to private
siife nor stigmatiZed by ex-parte evil
dence. He should have the SQUARE
DEAL which the Governor believes tc
be everybody's portion. He ought moi
to be asked to resign under fire, nor t.
put himself in any equivocal attitude
As a matter of natural justice his RICH
to prove himself innocent before re
ceiving the penalty Of guilt stands i'm
challenged at the bar of public opin
ion.

Walton Pyre to Head His Own Company.
The many friends of Walton Pyre in
this city will be glad to hear that this
enterprising and ambitious young actor
again contemplates appearing at the
head of his own company in the very
near future. Mr.. Pyre has announced a
spring tour of the middle west for the
season. He expects to open about the
first of April and run to the first of June.
He has been most fortunate this season
in the selection of play which has been
seen very recently in New York for a
successful run.
The play that Mr.. Pyre has been for
tunate in securing is the "Fool and His
Money" The play requires large and
capable cast which is being secured in
New York at the present time and which
is to be transported to Madison in few
days where the company is booked 10
rehearse preparatory to starting on the
road.
At the present time Mr. Pyre is play
ing the final week of his engagement
with the Ada Rehan Co. at the Broad
Street theatre in Philadelphia. On
March II that company closes its season.
Miss Henrietta Pyre is also a member
of the Rehen Co. and will return to Mad
ison next week to spend the summer
She will be also member of her broth
er's large company. 1t is remembered
that she made most favorable impress
sion when she was seen in his company
last season. and no little interest attaches
itself to the efforts of this talented
young lady.
Efforts are being made to secure the
attraction for Edgerton and Manager
Raymond is quite hopeful Of being able
to do so.

ga Ruined Life"

"a Ruined Life" the sensational
scenic melodrama, is booked to appear
at Royal hall, Thursday evening, March
9th. From the first production of this
sterling play has met only with success.
The plot is original and startling and is
far away from the conventional and con-
Germs the kidnapping of wealthy mans
infant daughter. The play opens eigh-
teen years later; the child has grown to
beautiful womanhood and is the queen
of band of gypsies. The father, who
has searched vainly for his child, ap-
pears on the scene but unfortunately is
stabbed to the heart by villainous part
ner few moments before his child is
restored to him. The daughter is, how
ever, aware of her identity and the fol-
lowing three acts are devoted to her
running the murderer to earth. The
startling denouement of the last act in.
which her fathers slayer is compelled
under hypnotic influence to re-enact the
crime. is one of the most startling situa-
tons ever produced.

The trade will be interested in the an
nouncement that Mr.. Chas L. Culton
will again enter the tobacco business.
Eastern connections, recently arranged,
places him in position to become amin
portant factor in the handling OF Wis.
consin leaf. Previous to 1900 Mr.. Cul-
ton was one of the large operators in
this state and numbered among hisicus-
toners some of the best jobbersaand
manufacturers of the country. Byeon-
tinuing along the same lines in packing
the best goods the state Affords AMr.
Culton hopes to again control share of
the trade. We learn that an option has
been secured upon the Bunzl warehouse
which is one of the most modern and
fully equipped buildings in this market,
giving him ample Office and storage ia
cilities for the present at least.
We understand that there will be
large acreage of tobacco raised in Bar
ron county the coming season. The soil
is we'll adapted to the successful raising
of the weed and it will be matter of
some profit to our farmers. OF course
its cultivation will at present be carried
on in limited way, but in few years
we predict that Barron county will raise
many tons.-Rice Lake Leader.
