When Clarence CypherS was locked
in the Jail at Monroe for drunkenness,
last week, he thought he saw an easy
way to liberty. He set fire to the
woodwork around the lock, with the in
tention of burning the lock out. The
watchman received some very bad
burns on his hands and arms in trying
to unlock the door and rescue the pris-
oner. The fire was extinguished be-
fore much damage was done.

A. HUME FORD
HAS GOOD IDEA
He Would Have the Colonies
Combine With Us tor
Promotion.

! Alexander Hume Ford spoke to the
Promotion Committee yesterday after
noon on projects of Importance to Ha-
wall and was listened to with interest.
He said that Australia and New
Zealand had started a campaign for
tourists and contemplated opening an
information Office in New York. When
in the Colonies recently the matter had
been brought to his attention and he
had advised that nothing be done until
it had been ascertained if Hawaii
would come in on the deal.
Hawaii, said Ford, by virtue of her
position at the crossways of the Pa
cific, could take a Ieadls~the matter
by introducing the two British colo
MES to the United States: 1t wasn't
TO be expected that Hawaii would be
able to contribute to the scheme as
largely as the greater countries but
there were many things which she
could do and the speaker thought that
an arrangement such as he had out
lined would be profitable to all con-
cerned.
New York office and from there pro-
motion literature, both of a joint and
individual nature could be distributed.
Ford did not ask for anything in the
shape of remuneration for his good
offices in the matter. He simply want
ed TO do all in his power to boost
the country.
The committee took no definite ac-
ton in the matter but assured Mr.
Ford that he had their moral support
and that any service which he might
do for the Territory would be appre-
ciated.
In the course of a long talk Ford
made a number of suggestions which
he thought would be of value to the
Territory, from a tourist standpoint.
He 'counseled the advisability of estab-
fishing accommodation houses in diff
ferent parts of the islands which were
points of interest. In these places
tourists might obtain meals and bed
without having to throw themselves on
the hospitality of private persons.
Such huts placed on the slopes of Ma
unakea and Maunaloa, for instance,
would do much to bring visitors to
those places. In the Colonies there
was an accommodation hut every ten
miles and so popular were they that
they were constantly being converted
into hotels.
Another thing that Ford would like
to see would be the converting into
great parks of Kilauea and Haleakala.
He thought that this could be done
as it had been done in the case of the
world-famed hot springs at Rotarura
in New Zealand.
In conclusion Ford said that after
travelling throughout the South Seas
he had come to the conclusion that
there was no other place that could
with Hawaii.
Present at the meeting were F. L.
Jas. Mclean. w. E. Brown,
w. T. Lucas and A. H. Ford.
The only other business done was of
l purely routine nature.

Following is the Weather Bureau IS
of the Territory for last year:
The mean temperature for the year,
$50 deg, at the central station Ho-
nolulu, was 0.4 deg. above the normal.
1t has been exceeded three times since
1S90-the greatest excess being 0.3
deg, in 1900-and equaled twice. The
lowest yearly mean temperature in Is
years occurred in 1905, and was 1.3

but few Interruptions throughout the
remainder of the year-and for the
greater part of the time were some
what stronger than usual.
Rains excessively large in amount,
and torrentiaf in rate of fall, occurred
during several months of the year.
The marked phenomenon during the
year was the eruption of the volcano
of Mauna Loa on the Island of Ha-
wall, in January, attended as it was
with three streams of lava, each enor-
nous in amount, and continuing for
several days, yet not reaching the sea.
The smoke from this eruption overlap
the islands for quite while.
Earthquakes and thunderstorms were
more frequent than ordinarily; and
strong to high winds were quite
prevalent, while gales (40 miles or
more) were infrequent.
