Opinion of a Route
County man as to i
their value. !.
Water Supply best Regulated
and Conserved by Set
t1ing up Country.

". L. SnutCle, IN Lne steamboat Spring
Pilot, has an article stating his views as
to the value of the forest reserves in
conserving water for ir rigation. Fol
lowing is portion of the article:
"The prime object of the forest reser
walton is the protection and perpetuity
of its timber and water supply. 4
For years after the reserve idea WAS
inaugurated, no timber was allowed ia
be cut from these reserves for fear OF
the lessening of the water supply which
is considered so essential to the farm
ing industry.
"While many people believe that the
timber holds the snow and causes moist
ure later in the season to keep up the
streams, | think it has very little to do
with it. because where timber stands
thickly together the snow does not fall
to the ground but is evaporated back in
to the atmosphere during clear weather
also, that where the timber is scattering
the reflection Of the suns rays between
the trees in the early season causes it to
melt more rapidly than in the open
country where their is on reflection, and
where the cool wind carries away. tk:,
heat. Parties who will investigate this
matter thoroughly can verify the cor :
rectness Of this statement.
And another thing, the water that is
needed for late irrigation comes from
the high ranges above the timberline
after the snow has disappeared in the
timber 1t is Il very noticeable fact that
the streams that do not head in these
high ranges either go dry or nearly SO at
the season of the year when water is
mostly needed.
The proper way to conserve the wat
er supply is to settle all the agricultural
land and put it under cultivation and ir-
igatin-the more lakes and reservoirs
the better. Where water is spsead over
the soil, much Of it sinks to lower
strata and finds its way back into the
streams again, and keeps up the water
supply later in the season.
Some of it is evaporated iuto the at
mosphere and comes back in refreshing
showers that would otherwise not exist.
These aae some Of the equilibriums of
nature.
THE attitude of the present admins
tration toward the reserves, and espec-
tally under the dictation of Chef Pin
chot of the forest department, has chang
ed materially from its original intent. 1t
has gradually developed into schem to
raise money for the general government
from the people of the several states liv
ing in the vicinity of these reserves and
also to support hord of worthless par
asites who receive salaries for no legit
mate service rendered to the govern :
ment Their time is chiefly employed
in prying into other peoples business,
and annoying the settlers along the line
who are struggling hard against great
odds to build for themselves homes in
the remote and isolated parts of the
country. These settlers of all the pion-
eers deserve the greater consideration. A"

Col. Norris
Increasing
Mortgage
On Kabuku
BUT THE TOTAL MORTGAGE is
NOT A VERY LARGE ONE, Be
ING ONLY $4,000 ON $4,000 ACRES

Col. Norris has increased the mort
gage on the famous Kahuku ranch in
Kau. The transaction was filed this
afternoon at the registrars office. The
original mortgage was for $4,000, with
two additional payments of $1,5O0 each,
which brought the total up to $4,000.
Today this amount was increased by
so, 900, to $4,000.
The mortgage is c. Spreckels &
Co. The ranch in question consists OF
Nbout $4,000 acres of land. It's prin-
cipal claim to notOriety is the fact that
the outbreaks of lava rom the upper
slopes of Mauna Loa generally cross
Col. NorrisN ranch and furthermore,
because it is one of the largest Of fee
simple holdings in the islands.

NO SIGNS ON
ROYAL PALMS
CARETAKER GREENE PROMPTLY
CAUSED A NOTICE TO BE RE-
MOVED THIS MORNING.

The British peerage may engage in
trade but Hawaiian Royalty is denied
such privilege, at least the royalty in
the branch of forestry This morning
some enterprising native proceeded to
tack some elaborate notices on one of
the royal palm trees that are in front
of the statue of Kamehameha the
Great, mauka of the Judiciary build
ing. The notices which were in the
native language, were an advertise
ment for the sale of some lands on this
island The proposition seemed rather
a nervy one to man UP tree, but
nothing was said to the native, while
he drove the tacks into the trunk of
the handsome tree.
But when Col Greene, the caretaker
of the government grounds, hove in
sight and saw what was doing, he put
on all canvas as it were, and ran be-
fore the wind toward the unsuspect-
ing native. The latter must have
thought that some pirate had nabbed
him when the indignant Colonel came
alongside. 1t took about two minutef
for those notices to be removed. The
array of tacks was still in the tree
however, this morning.

Federal
OFFICES
Will NOT
Be moved
REFUSAL OF ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL BONAPARTE BLOCKS THE
PLAN.

There seems little prospect that the
Judiciary building will be repaired so
long as Governor Carter is in office. He
is understood to have stated positively
that he would not have such work un-
dertaken. In consequence of his stand
in the matter, the $50,000 appropriated
by the last legislature for the rehabili-
tation of the building, will not be used.
If some other governor takes hold of
affairs, then there is a chance that the
repairs may be begun.
The United States offices will remain
in the Judiciary building until the re-
pairs are started. The recent ad-
verse ruling on the part of Attorney
General Bonaparte, to the proposed re-
moval to the McCandless block, neces-
states the Federal offices remaining in
the present quarters. 1t is not thought
likely that the renovation of the build
ing will be attempted before next year,
if indeed, such work is then begun.

The banquet was given by the Cham

ian Sugar Planters Association to the
visiting congressional party There
were nearly one hundred and fifty pre-
sent, including all but two of the Con-
gressmen of the party, and the leading
men of the community. The party
were seated at long tables arranged
almost in the form of a triangle. Dele
gate Kalanianaole presided, and George
w. Smith, president of the Merchants
Association was the toastmaster Of the
occasion. Near the Delegate and the
toastmaster were seated Senator Piles
Congressman Hepburn, Congressman
Littleheld, Chief Justice Frear, Judge
Dole, and Acting Governor Atkinson.
The other members Of the congressional
party were seated congenially with
members of the various organizations
The tables were profusely decorated
with red carnations. The menu was
an elaborate one on specially designed
cards.
With the exception of Col. Hepburn
nearly every one OF the congressional
speakers all who touched on the sub
iect at all,-gave most positive assur-
ance that there was no fear either IN
the past, now, or IN the future OF wal
or other dlhieulty with Japan. There

rERs-NoT A DULL SPEECH A DULL SPEECHES

The banquet rendered by the Com
mercial bodies of Honolulu to the visit
ing Congressman at the Moana Hotel
last evening was one of the most not
able affairs of the kind ever given in
the Hawaiian Islands. In many res
poets it was undoubtedly the most not
able. Never have so many able speech
es on subjects so pertinent and i'm
portant to Hawaii by men in a position
to do so much to transform wishes into
fact, been made at a gathering in Ho-
nolulu.
Considered merely as examples of
the art of speech making, old residents
would have to go far back in their
memory to recall anything at all COM

sible more unanimous and positive than
on the matter of fortifcations. More
than one speaker ventured the belief
that not only would Honolulu and Hilo
harbors receive the improving aid of
Congress but that there would be at
least one harbor on each of the princi-
pal islands of the group which would
be improved in this way.
There were expressions from every
one of the Congressional speakers as
suring the people of these islands of a
sympathetic interest in the islands and
their questions and problems, sym
pathy quickened by the opportunity
that had been given them to see the
islands themselves, and by the royal
hospitality that had been extended to
them. There were promises that all
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1907-05-28

Hawaiian questions and matters should
receive careful and sympathetic atten-
tion.
At the same time, it was pointed out
by more than one speaker that not all
hopes could be realized, that the de-
mands made upon congress far exceed
ed the ability of congress to give. Some
of the speakers also pointed out that
some of our problems we would have
to solve for ourselves; that congress
could not aid us. The responsibility
that rested upon us to make and keep
this a truly American commonwealth
was touched on by more than one
speaker.
1t is noteworthy, that not one of the
congressional speakers alluded to the
refunding bill or even in general terms
suggested it's principle as one Of the
means by which aid could be given
the islands.
Congressman Littlefield made a strong
address on the American Merchant Ma
rine in which he pointed out it's vital
Importance and necessity to an effec-
tive navy.
More than one of the speakers took
occasion to congratulate Hawaii on
the zeal, usefulness and capable service
rendered it by Delegate KaIauionaole
That he was influential among the
members of congress, that he looked
we'll after the interests of the territory
that he was instant In its secvloe, and
that it owed much to him was the
