FIRE NEAR
THE OIL TANKS
ALARM TURNED IN FROM BOX 81
THIS MORNING CAUSED MUCH
EXCITEMENT ABOUT TOWN.

What might have proved very seri-
Gus fire was averted this morning by
the promptness and efficiency of the
Honolulu Fire Department. An alarm
was turned in from Box 81 on the Iwi-
lei road, one of the most dangerous To-
calities in town.
Fire broke out among sacks of nitre
stored in a warehouse of the Hawaiian
Fertilizer Company and severely
scorched the building before it was put
out, Starting in one end of the build
ing the fire jumped over 60 feet to a
second pile of nitre and all that saved
the plant was that the building hap
pened to be built of corrugated iron.
The oil tanks belonging to the Pacific
Oil and Transportation Company We're
less than one hundred yards distant,
Had these been ignited the loss would
have amounted to thousands of dollars.

PROPOSED APPROPRIATION TO
RECLAIM NAVAL LAND WILL BE
INADEQUATE.

when the dredging Of the harbor
was first commenced, said Lieutenant
.Slattery, the army engineering officer
at this place Il favored retaining II
portion of the reef in front of the
Naval Station. | suggested that if the
debris from the channel could be de-
posted off the Naval Station point at
the rate of cents per cubic yard, it
would be an excellent proposition for
the government, as well as the dredging
company.
Congress failed to make any appro-
priation for this work however and
with the exception Of $4,000 cubic yards
all of the debris dredged from the cham
mel has been deposited elsewhere than
the first place suggested. The reef
could not now be reclaimed for such a
price as l originally suggested, cents
per cubic yard In fact l do not think
that the work could be done for less
than 80 cents a yard.
If there is any idea of the govern
ment establishing a battery at that
particular point, l do not think that
the increased cost of retaining some
Of the reef, seaward, would be war
ranted While of course, it would be
better to have the battery located far
Their seward so as to give it increased
range, nevertheless the advantage gain
ed would be so slight that do not con-
slider the additional cost would be war
ranted
"The item of $35 900 mentioned in the
dispatches yesterday would not, in my
opinion. be adequate to reclaim that
section of the reef. In fact l think
that $4,000 would be nearer the figure
necessary

IOWA APPLE TREES.
Furnish An Abundance of Fruit In
The Southern Part of the State.

Mrs. RI. Creveling was the receip-
lent, last week, of a very useful and
acceptable present in the form Of
barrel Of especially fine apples, which
the editor and his family had the pleas
ure Of sampling and pronouncing very
good. They were sent by an old col
lege mate, William Il. Coy, of Tabor,
Fremont county, Iowa, from his fine
farm three miles from Tabor. Mr..
Coy, in addition to the crops usually
raised on farm and fair stock
raising business this year, sold more
than three thousand bushels OF apples
and more than $500. 90 worth OF peach
es. The peach trees are set between
the apple trees, and being a short liv-
ed tree, will have yielded their best
crops and been cut out of the way by
the time the apple trees have reached
size to require all the space. Mr..
Coy understands using the soil to the
best advantage. His trees are all
thoroughly sprayed every spring. Mrs.
Creveling had the pleasure Of visiting
his orchard on the day before the
picking" began and describes the
sight as most beautiful. From ten
acre orchard he counted on twenty
five hundred bushels, and was not dis
appointed. In that orchard we're Ben
Davis, Grimes-Goiden, Jonathans,
and Bell Flowers, all OF which were
represented in the barrel received by
Mrs. Creveling. He had other yarie-
ties in another orchard. The apples
had been contracted for and were
shipped. the barrels being set up on
the place by an expert from Chicago.
The peach crop OF Fremont county
was immense, and Mrs. Creveling saw
many pear trees bending to the ground
with their load of fruit. She also
saw an abundance OF peaches in
Pottawattamie county and learned that
there, and also in Fremont county,
better results are obtained by planting
the pits and just letting the trees grow
naturally than byusing trees from the
nurseries, or by grating. The peach
es are not so large but are delicious
in flavor and the trees do not winter,
kill as badly; many OF the grated
trees break off at the graft. She has
planted some pits, brought from her
old home, in the garden at her home
here and she and Mr.. Creveling hope
to have peaches to share with their
friends in a few years. Ii Fremont
county is ahead OF us for apples and
peaches we take no back seat when
corn is the test

Thanksgiving Day is here again.
Another year has gone, The time has
passed all too quickly. So it comes
and goes and soon it will have gone
forever. The custom is one of antia-
uity. The Hebrew had his Feast of
Tabernacles = which was also called a
" Feast of Ingathering +" at the end of
the year. And it is probable that this
suggested the idea of our more mod
ern Thanksgiving. When the colo
nists at Plymouth had gathered their
first harvest, in 1921, Governor Brad
ford sent fourmen out hunting so that
they might have feast for celebra-
ton. Two years later day of fast
ing and prayerwas appointed because
OF the drought. The record says that
rain came while they were praying,
and u day OF thanksgiving was ap.
pointed for religious service. These
early thanksgivingswere always APP
pointed and observed for some spec
ial reason. At the time the Reyolu-
ton began it had become holiday
annually recommended by the Cont
mental Congress. In 1884 and 1889
there were special day to give thanks
for the treaty of peace and the adop-
tion of the constitution. In the early
part of the Civil War Mr. Lincoln APP
pointed Thanksgiving Days because
of victories gained by the Union
armies. Since the war closed il has
become a National Holiday on which
the people assemble to give thanks
and praise for the manifold blessings
of the year that has gone.
Nearly three hundred years have
passed since that first Thanksgiving
dinner at which Governor Bradford
presided. From this little colony at
Plymouth and one OF the Cavaliers at
jamestown, our people have multi
piled until with the increase by imi-
grafton we have about eighty millions.
The country has had its ups and
downs through foreign wars and inter
necine strife, but it has always come
out conqueror and is today clearly at
the head of all the great nations both
in achievement and possibilities of
further, development. There has not
been time when our countrylhas
greater reason for thanksgiving be-
cause of an abundant harvest than in
this year of grace, 1906.
