BRIGHT FUTURE FOR
HAWAII kOh-MAHOGAN|

W. M. Bray, who has visited the koa
mahogany forests on Hawaii, speaks OF
the future Of the industry as being very
bright. Mr.. Bray says:
1T found the folks who are running
the new Hawaiian Mahogany Company,
a concern which has secured practical
monopoly of the koa forests, very busy.
They are putting in a mill not far from
the Volcano House, and have nearly
| completed five miles of railway into the
| heart Of the big forest. Mr. Cant, the
| superintendent of the company, showed
me some very fine specimens of koa-
mahogany and says there is plenty of it.
The company has a force of over hun
dred men at work in the forests. 1 un-
derstand that the company is selling
mahogany in San Francisco at present
at price OF about 800 a thousand
board feet. This is a good price for
lumber in the rough and when the COM
pany begins to cut the board feet into
from sixteen to twenty sections of
veneer to the inch of thickness one can
imagine what a tremendous quantity of
stuff they will have ready to offer
to furniture manufacturers who are
looking for fine grade of figured or
plain mahogany. Furniture, that is all
that is made of hard wood, has ad- |
vanced over twenty per cent. at the |
factories during the past sixteen months. |
[ rave noticed in eastern trade papers |
several articles which tell of the |
scarcity of good mahogany. Hardwood |
lumber advanced in about the same wav
that ordinary lumber has been advanced |
by the mills on the Pacific coast.
"People visiting the Volcano of XII
lauea will find it worth their while TO
visit the forests of the lumber company.
Improved methods of getting the big
logs out of the rough country are in
vogue. Quite camp has been estab-
lished in the forests by the company.
There are some picturesque looking
mule wagons constantly vending their
way from the forests direct to a mill in
Hilo, each wagon laden with two or
three mammoths of the forests. Even
in Hilo thew think of prosperity when
( mahogany is mentioned for. next to
heir breakwater, the people there pin
part of their faith for future greatness

700 million feet of koa available. At

The considerations which prevent such

baked ideas of culture and develop
ment If our well-to-do people are on
the eve of somewhat ripper education,
as we believe they are. the size of the
family will increase just as living In
the country. interest in beauty, free
dom from the need Of hectic amuse-
meat, and other signs Of choicer
standards are increasing. We have
been rather grossly preoccupied with

That American women are giving In.
creased attention to athletics and to
outdoor exercises of all kinds, with
corresponding benefits physically, Is
evident. The fact that the American
lady who won the tennis champion
ship in England last year has gone
over again. hoping to be equally sue
cessful this year. is made additionally
interesting by the further announce
ment that a party of English women
will return with her to compete in a
number of contests here. including
that for the International tennis cup.
That will put American players on
their mettle, Women are making rec.
ords on the golf grounds, also, and in
