says the report, under the protection
afforded by the department in enforcing
the state law. The gun license provides
the revenue, and SO places the burden
Of game protection where it belongs, on
the man who hunts. Several other
states have initiated this feature Of
the Minnesota law. IA more stringent
law is asked to protect the commits
sion in gathering fish fry, against log
drives such as that Of the Tower Lum-
Der company last spring. A suit for
damages against this company is now
pending in the supreme court.
The commission wants car for dis

GREAT PLAY
IN PROSPECT.
George Ade's college
Widow" to Be Given
Here.

No less than the first and only anna
teur production of The College
Widow is the gift of George Ade. the
author, to Honolulu. Yesterday the
manuscript of this remarkable comedy
was received by mail, the sign absolute
that Honolulu is to be favored with
something new and modernly cos
TUNED.
THE College Widow" by many
playgoers deemed the best of recent
comedies. has delighted metropolitan
audiences for two years, and seems to
have lost nothing cf drawing power
and attrdctiveness. So good is it, So
superb its fitness in this day of col
lege sport agitation, that Henry w.
Savage, who owns the production right,
has never before consented to a pro-
duction by other than his own COM
panies. The fact is that there is little
costumfng other than of the present
day. and that the play is so distinctly
up-to-date in it's motif that it ap-
pealed directly and Immediately to
those who saw it. So it was that w
D. Adams, admiring the play, deter
mined TO try to get it for the initial
of the new dramatic club,
then proposed.
With Manager Savage opposed abso
utely to any amateur production, ii

friend of Hawaii by E. NJ. Boyd, Mr..
Ade wrote a chara cteristic letter say
ing that his visits here had been full OF
pleasure always and he was glad to
oin in the request that Mr.. Savage
permit this play to be produced in Ho-
lolulu for some worthy object. His in
iuence was sufficient and with the ar

because of it's naturalness, was over

There is really no reason. beyond
finding a variety of silk-producing in

why the production and manufacture
of silk should not become a CONNER

next few years. Silk is produced in
many countries, and everywhere that
it is undertaken on a commercial scale
it is produced at a profit. Silk is one
of the textile fabrics that will always
be in large demand to supply the hu-
