There was an argument on a cricket
field in village near Nottingham,
England, which interrupted the game
for some time. The match was being
played between the local tradesmen
of the village. All went well until
the bowler, who was the village con-
stable, man over six feet tall, sent q
ball which bumped up from the
ground and hit the village butcher,
who was batting and who was ex-
ceedingly fat and perspiring freely, on
the head. The wicket keeper, a re-
markably thin and agile man, who
was the village grocer, caught the ball
and yelled, lows thatT

two cents a pear to deliver this fruit
in Honolulu. Last year Jap offered
Baskerville five cents a pear on the
tree, and the offer was accepted.
Wells Fargo offer one dollar a dozen
for fnely-fiavored pears weighing one
pound each. Baskerville could supply
a dozen two-pound pears daily for
months. but there is the trouble of get
ting them to Wells Fargo Ct under
stand that there is now an express
service to the other side). A coopera-
tive association among the small grow
ers would help to solve many of the
problems that now determine the
prospective small farmer to keep away.
There is a small steamer that runs
now and then from Honolulu to Koo-
lau bay, but there seems to be no reg
ularity and no organized effort to get
freight TO her.
New legends are replacing the old
on the windward side. Here is one:
THE HOUND OF THE BASKER-
VILLES.
Baskerville is from Dartmoor, Eng
land, the scene of Conan Doyle S
" Hound of the Baskervilles. +" The
Hound of the Baskervilles at Kaneohe,
however, is of a different character.
The Oahu hound grew out of pig; a
dead pig.
Baskerville and the deputy sheriff
were good friends until the pigs of
the sheriff began trespassing and stir
ring up the clear waters of Basker.
vile s spring, which supplies water for
all the taro and rice growers in the
gulch. Baskerville warned the officer,
and the sheriff was supercilious. One
day the deputy received word that
there was dead pig at Baskerville s,
and he sent for it-then the hound
began. Mrs. Baskerville was arrested
on a trumped up charge, tried without
jury and fined $50, more than double
the amount allowed by law. The judg-
ment was set aside and the ease dis
missed by a higher court, with censure
of the proceedings.
The children of the deputy sheriff s
family were trained to threaten and
mob the children of the Baskervilles;
they were bounded out of the school
and off the roads, so that for the last
year they have not dared put their
feet outside their own gate-while the
children of the deputy sheriff IS family
STILL even when in the buggy with
the deputy sheriff himself, shake their
fists threateningly at the haole young
sters.
This is one example of the trials and
tribulations that sometimes come to the
haole small farmer in an almost en-
tirely kanaka community.

away from the other islands by the
prohibitive inter-isIand fares can find
scenic wonders about Oahu equal to
any on the mainland. These gentle
men are now trying to induce some one
to make business of knowing the
highways and byways of Oahu and di-
recting our visitors to them. At pres
ent there seems to be a plentiful lack
of information on this subject avail
able to the visitor.
Leckenby went to observe and Ford
to learn, therefore Ford acted as a
Boswell to his companion IS johnson.
The following is from the notes made
by Ford during the walk around the
island:
Tired throughout and sore of foot, /
decided on complete rest, so started
out bright and early for the walk. The
tenderest foot becomes hardened by
persistent use Leckenby and | have
known that for years. We began our
walking tour by taking the mail coach
from the postoffice to Kaneohe, just
beyond the Pail.

lulu know that there are several lines
of buses from this city to the wind

sengers thirty odd miles to a connec-
tion with the railway at dollar a

tourist around the way he would like

rates, even on the mail coach, on Oahu,
cheaper per mile than the water rates
between the islands-and so much to
see near home,
An hour and half and we were at
the Pail, having delivered mail along
the route and picking up bag and bag
gage an entire kanaka family-local
color that brought am everlasting smile
of contentment to my companion S
face. We dropped down over the side
of the precipice, glided through the
guava lands to Kaneohe, and our walk
began, OF course. we had letters, but
we wanted to rough it. An automobile
trip around had taught Us that there
was better way; it also taught us that
the best promotion work to be done in
the Hawaiian Islands is the eonstrue-
tion of a good auto road around Oahu.
We alighted before the first valley
beyond the Pail (Iolika) and began at
once to explore its beauties. Honolulu
might have located on the other side of
the Pail on the shores of Koolau bay
Fortunately. the early settlers prefer
red the neighborhood of the long, slop-

that by seeding, a new breed could be

experimental station people here, in all
their years of usefulness, have never
attempted to breed an island fig or a
Hawaiian grape. The Concord and the
Isabella were produced by breeding to
local conditions, and Leckenby believes
that it would be easy to breed grape

valley, a mile deep, perhaps, ending

from Kalihi. There is an almost for
gotten trail over this seemingly mac
cessible wall, but it is reputed the
steepest and most difficult trail on the
island
In the old days it was much used by
the kings messengers, who were trained
to mountain climbing from childhood.
We did not even look for the trail,
however. but contented ourselves with
following a good road that leads

FINE AVOCADO PEARS.

r n r. A "A =.
At the entrance to Iolika valley we
found the home of a haoIe. and there
we stopped to rest. The owner, Mr.
Baskerville, proudly showed us his
avocado pear trees, one of them four
teen years old, probably the largest on
these islands. 1t towers over his house
as a shade tree, and was weighted
down with green fruit of delicious
flavor. Other trees there were from
the seeds of this, and each of a differ
emit variety-some green, some black,
and one of a long-necked variety. more
delicious than any we had ever tasted
In vain Baskerville has attempted to
reproduce this variety, but Leckenby
gave him the secret.
First protect the bud and fruita with
gauze so as to prevent foreign polleni-
cation; then plant the seed of that
fruit and it will reproduce true to the
pa~ent. The Baskerville avocado. long
eek. contains a very small pit. not
an inch in diameter, yet the fruit itself
often weighs two pounds. Leckenby
thinks it may be bred so that the pit
or seed becomes still smaller and the
fruit larger. The flavor could not be
improved upon-it is perfect--vet Bas-
kerville leaves the fruit on the ground
to rot because it does not pay to
market them. The Chinese busses and
the mail coach don't care to take more
than twenty pounds in package, and
they deliver only at the end of the
route. 1t would cost on freight alone

In his argument MI satterthwaite
said there seemed to be some confusion
as to what was being tried-whether
the chief had a reasonable ground to do
as he did and whether the arrest was
lawful. Mr. sattertllwaite said it
seemed to him that there was reason

the arrest was lawful.
"But must admit that In my opinion
this man was not guilty OF disorderly
conduct unless your honor believes

is any doubt as TO the reasonableness
or lawfulness Of the arrest, but whether
he is guilty is for the court TO say"
