the following:

DR.. Ira Miller is fond of fish
aud fishing, aud would probably
not turn down bowl of turtle
soup; but, he wants the turtle
cOoked-after his experience with
one last week. While fishing
with the boys down on Cuivre, it
became his duty to unload the trOt
line, aud hig snapsing turtle was
among the catch. Dock was try
ing to get the hook out of its
mouth, and the turtle made a grab
and caught one OF his fingers. He
had heard about these reptiles
holding on until it Numbered, but
he didn't have time to wait on ma
ture. SO he hollered like thunder.
But you had to show that Missouri
turtle the genuine article, so he
stayed in. The doctor then real
lied that he had no pocket knife or
other instrument with which TO
operate on bis turtleship; but.
happy thought! there was his pipe
stem-ten times as deadly. This
he stuck in its mouth, and the
turtle gave up the fnger-and the
ghOsi-and was duly converted in
to bait. DR.. Miller still carries its
trademark. however.

THE EXTINCTION OF THE Ma
TIVES

The natives have died out to an
alarming extent and most of their taro
lands are in possession of the Chinese.
The latter have not only dispossessed
the natives but hold their own against
the japanese. japanese prefer work
ing the dry land, while the Chinaman
does not object to soft job like
tramping in mud and planting rice. The
population consists therefore of a large
proportion of Chinese, although there
are quite number of half-whites set
tied through it, many of whom talk
English very indifferently.

chiefs. They were compelled to desig-
] nate the particular species of fish which
they claimed and all others were the
property of the hoaaina, or resident of
the land, who chose TO take them.
THE LANDS OF KANEOHE.
AT the great division of lands great
many awards were made to the people
and as the surveyors services were in
much demand in the haste there were
many conflicting surveys made. The
country is rolling and while all is COW
cred with heavy stratum of alluvium
and is very fertile there is not suffi-
cheney of water TO irrigate it. In the
valleys the natives had their innumera-
BILE taro patches which are now mostly
converted into rice lands. It is said
that forty feet square of taro is suffi-
cient to supply the needs of a native
throughout the year and Judging by
the capability of the land and the fish
cries this district must have been
densely populated.

NUUANU ROAD.

Thanks to a wise government the
road to the Pail is in splendid condi-
tion and the distractions were few, but
the down grade into Koolau was not as
easy as riding on the cushioned tires of
an auto. This latter, however, will soon
be in fine shape as we passed wagons
loaded with crushed rock, gangs of men
spreading it evenly, and powerful
steam-roller working the macadam into
a solid bed. If a coating of asphalt
could be applied to it, it would shed
the water from the frequent rains and
also prevent the action of the winds
from carrying off the surface.

THE CHINESE STAGE.

The passengers on that stage were a
motley crowd and particularly repre-
sentative one. There was a venerable
native. half-white who had a history,
the half Chinese driver, six Chinese, a
white man, and the Missourian. There
We're sundry sacks of grain on the
floor of the wagon, the presence of
which compelled us to sit with our
knees at a level with our chins, and
occasionally some wayfarer would jump
on behind for ride. This latter, how
ever, had no effect on the springs, as
the weight of the load had already fiat
tened them down on the axles and we
received the direct and full benefit of
each jolt along the road.

Kaneohe and Heeia.

By Jas. W. Girvin.

"Where viii you go next?" asked
one of those who say they have read
my rambles with growing interest That
never has troubled me any-the ques-
ton being where to go first, as every
valley and point in the vicinity of Ho-
nolulu has its distinctive charms and
the whole affords an endless theme.
Ny Missourian tourist, tramp friend
came into the Office with a face as
radiant as the rising sun and suggested
that we do the Koolau country, for,
said he, 81 am told you can ride there
for the small sum of fifty cents and the
dollars with me are getting so large that
can hardly get them into my
pockets" So we determined to see the
other side of the island of Oahu and
soon found ourselves jammed into
three-seated covered wagon, the "oppo-
sition stage line,' with our horses
heads turned toward the grand old Nu
uanu valley.

NUUANU PAIL.

A description of the view of the
Koolau country from the Pail will al
ways be acceptable, as it IS one Of the
themes which can never be worn
threadbare. No two artists can paint
it alike, Tor, while the cliffs and YER
dure-covered precipices, the rolling
dunes of Kaneohe, and the sea margin
are Interchangeable, the cloud effect and
light and shade and sunlight streaming
through riffs in the clouds present an
ever varying panorama which to me is
the most beautiful of all scenery wit
messed IN my travels. The picture has
all the requisites of light and shadow,
brilliant coioring blending off into SOM
Der hues on the precipices, several dis
tinct colors of the sea caused by the
shoa1ing of the water, and the whole
scene enlivened by a winding road
through an emerald mat of pere nnlal
green. Here and there it is embellished
with splashes of red or crimson soil
where the surface has been broken by
cultivation, or the action Of the winds,
which at times sweep fiercely across 1T.
The Pail is the one spot on the t1a-
waiian Islands where the artist fingers
in enchantment, and which he finds
more battling to transfer to canvas than
any other. As one wends his way down
the zigzag road he meets charming
Kaleidoscope views at each angle, while
the picture of the Pail from Kaneohe
would almost rival in beauty the piano.

KANEOHE.

This is the name of the ahupuaa OF
great division of land at the base of
the Pail. In the great mahele or divl-
sion of lands in 1S47 it was awarded
to Kalama, Queen of Kamehameha Ill,
reserving to the people such Ills or ku-
leanas as they should prove themselves
entitled to on account of prior cultiva-
ton by their families. The whole coast
line from Mokapu to Kualoa, denomin-
ated Koolau bay, is shoal water, pro-
tected by reef, with here and there
entrances through which light craft
may approach.
FISHERIES OF KOOLAU.
This shallow water is the resort of
turtle and fish of all descriptions and
consequently was very dear to the heart
of the Hawaiian who was so dependent
on the fauna and fora of the sea for
an existence. 1t also abounds with
algae or seaweed, limu, of many kinds
so much used by them as condiments
with their food. These fisheries were
claimed by the konohikis or lords of the
ahupuaas but custom had placed some
