be beaten as a heavy bearer of very
fine nuts. [The OBSERVER received
samples Of these nuts through the
kindness of Mr.. Yates, Tuesday. We
can truthfully say that they are the
finest specimens Of their kind we have
ever seen. Oregon needs no better

THE CAR FAMINE.
BY DEAN COLLINS

BY DEAN COLLINS.
Oh, the long and weary shortage!
Short of cars, but long of season!
While the owner Of the sawmills
Waited for the cars that came not.
Ever higher, higher, higher
Piled the lumber round their saw.
mills;
Ever shorter, shorter, shorter
Grew the lead in their blue pencils,
While they cancelled untitled orders.
Scarcely from the silent office
Could the millmen find a passage;
Cropping mid the piles of lumber,
threading through the unshippcd
timbers,
Ill they stood among the milkweeds
Waving DER the sleeping railroads:
Saw the silent rails beneath them
Vanishing into the distance.
Every day they came and stood there ::
Month by month they stood and waited,
Bowed their heads among the milk
weeds
10 the rusted rails beneath them,
Listened for the faint vibrations
OF string Of ''fats" approaching;
But no sound disturbed the silence,
Save the soft and gentle rustic
" the wind among the milkweeds.
On, the pangs of disappointment!
Oh, the anguish of the millmen
And congestion of the market!
Ever thinner, thinner, thinner
Grew their little rolls of greenbacks,
AS they paid the men who labored,
Making lumber that they sold not,
timbers that they shipped not.
ana across the growing milkweeds
And the lumber-crowded sidings,
Rang their cry Of lamentation
Give us cars, 0 Uncle Edward!
Give us cars to ship our lumberl
Cars, james j., in mercy give us
Handcars, Pullmans, give us somc-
thing.
Wherewith we may ship our lumber!
But no sound was waited backward,
Save faint and feeble echo,
saying weakly. "shic our lumber"

So writes Edwin W. Stephens, of
Columbia, Missouri, who has been
spending the past few days in Homo
lulu. Mr.. Stephens is a journalist and
publisher of note and is here on
rCund-the-world trip. He is a we'll
known public man on the mainland, be-
ing Moderator of the Baptist General
Association, and his words of praise of
Hawaii-nei are of especial interest not
only to Hawaiians but to many thou
sands of others.
His statement is quoted in the regu-
lar report presented to the Promotion
Committee yesterday by Secretary
Wood. A number of other interesting
communications, received in the mail
yesterday, were also read.
Lloyd Childs wrote that he was pre-
pairing to give a number of illustrated
lectures in connection with his work
as Los Angeles representative of the
committee He will speak at Redlands,
under the auspices of the Board of
Trade and the Settlement Association /;
at Monrovia, under the auspices of the
Ladies' Club; at San Diego and at
Riverside. At these lectures he is usu-
ally helped out by the Hawaiian sing
ing boys of Los Angeles, who make a
hit wherever they go. Mr.. Childs says:
"The singing takes immensely. The
boys sing for me at my lectures here
about once a week. / am constantly
being besieged by telephone: when
do the boys sing againi'"
ID. L. Robertson, manager of the
steamship department of the Security
Savings Bank, of Los Angeles, writes
that it is his intention to organize a
party of fifteen or so from Los Angeles
to Honolulu every month during the
winter.

C. NJ. Burt, secretary of the Amer

ton that he will have pleasure in pre-
senting at the convention to be held
in Washington the invitation of the
Promotion Committee to the Associa-
tion to hold its next convention at
"The Crossroads of the Pacifc.''
Thos. Cook & Son, through their Cal
cutta agent, writes acknowledging the
receipt of promotion literature and
says: GAS you are probably aware,
residents in India, etc., are beginning
to realize the advantages of the Pa
ciic route and we trust that with the
help of your literature we shall be able
to induce passengers to make a stay
at Honolulu on their way across the
Pacific :"
Albert Lee, editor of Golfers Week
ly, thanks the Secretary for some Ha-
waiian photographs sent his magazine
and promises to publish the photograph
of the sailors marching through the
streets of Honolulu. Golfers editor
expresses the belief that Hawaii will
be much in the public eye in the near
future, saying: at is quite likely
now, in view of the naval movements
about to be made in the Pacific, that
there will be considerable news inter
est in Honolulu"
In thanking Mr.. Wood for literature
forwarded, C. W. Singer, chief ticket
agent of the Oregon Short Line, says:
"Received copy of the Daily Adver-
tiser giving account of the arrival of
the cruisers of Pacific squadron at Ho-
nolulu. 1t was an excellent number
and attracted considerable attention for
the fine views it contained of crews

who are made parties in the appeal.
Both motions are based on claim OF
want of Jurisdiction On behalf OF the
Governor the claim is made that as
to the Governor the Circuit Court dis
missed the bill and dissolved the in

appeal was ever taken and an appeal
is now too late, so that the Governor
was never a party before the Supreme
Court of the Territory. from which
this appeal or writ of error IS taken

On behalf OF the Commissioner OF
Public Lands the claim is made that
there is no Jurisdiction because the
record does not show that 5000 or

Following is the report of the Ter
ritorial entomologist presented al the
meeting of the Board of Agriculture
and Forestry on Wednesday:
Honolulu, October 30. 1907.
To the Honorable Board of Commits

Gentlemen: Since my report to you

rived twenty-five steam and sailing
vessels from outside the Territory re-
quiring- inspection by this department
On October 3rd the 5. 5. HilOnian
arrived from San Francisco and on
board were found four crates OF tur-
nips infested with the larvae and
pupae of the radish-cabbage root mag
got (Phorbia brassicae). These vege-
tables, including the cases, were de-
stroyed by fire.
On the 18th of October the S. S Ser
ra brought from San Francisco five
cases of ounce badly infested with
codling moth larvae (Carpocapsa
pomonella). This is not a new pest for
that-fruit but, as the quantity OF
worms found made the fruit prac-
tically worthless, the consignment was
burned.
On October 18th the S. S. Nippon
Maru brought ITO packages OF rubber
seeds, some of which had been
damaged and were found to be swarm
ing with species of mite. The
seeds We're treated with the fumes
OF carbon bi-sulphide. Mites as a
rule are difficult to destroy, but with
the above chemical these succumbed
readily in the course of an exposure
OF about two hours. The same chemi-
cal was again used in the disinfection
OF some infested imported Japanese
rice.
Consignments OF lemons and other
fruits from Australia were ordered
sent out of the Territory on account
of the danger of introducing the fruit
flies of that country.
Since my last report l have received
an interesting letter from Mr.. Geo
Compere, who is at present in India

Compere has again succeeded in secur-
ing parasites upon fruit masgots, one
