Bulletin, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:--Being very much inter
csted in your agricultural contest,
think | would drop you few lines
to tell you that we are getting along
nicely with our farm.
On Wednesday the 29th inst,
planted some pineapples in the south
eastern part of the farm.
We boys and teachers fixed some
water pipes through our farm and
opened up two water taps. We are
very glad of this because we do not
need to pack water from a distant
tap.
Our farm IS very near to the ocean,
which is about 100 yards east of us.
It is about twenty feet above the
sea level. So you can imagine how
hard It Is for plants to grow.
There are many rocks on our farm
and we dug them out of the gardens
and piled them up. You ought to sec
the high pile of rocks.
We planted vegetables in Novcm.
Der and now they are ready to be
picked
There are many rectangular beds
ready to be planted with seeds. We
children Of Laupahoehoe School are
very busy.
My partner is Scgell Sakamoto. He
is farmers boy and, so think, he
! is very good at planting. We have
now eleven beds which contain vege.
tables. We have tomatoes, onions.
turnipg, lettuce, cucumbers, etc.
growing. Some of the beds are sur
rounded by running streams.
Our garden was almost covered
with honohono and rocks. The homo.
homo Is very hard grass to kill. But
we destroyed them all. My partner
anu are very hard workers. We dc
not go here and there like a vaga'
bond and waste time, for time is val
liable to US. Some OF the boys like e
play but the officers do not let then
play without finishing their garden

Dear Friend: All the members of
the Board of Improvement are pres
cEt at school. Our school yard is
very rocky. The boys are doing all
they can for our school, and also with
the girls. The boys are breaking all
the large stones. We made terraces
in front of our school buildings.
Flowers are planted on them. We
have two buildings. They are not
very nice, nor very large. We now
have made seven terraces, and flowers
of different kinds are planted on
them. The names of some of the
flowers that we planted are gera-
NUNS, begonias, marigold, carnation,
star flower, ladies slipper, roses, Az
Gers, daisies, pansies, and others.
The boys are still packing soil in
our yard. We have one garden for
sugar cane and one garden for pota-
toes. The boys have made one MUIR
sery patch. The terrace in front OF
our school was improved. The walls
were busted, and pictures were hung
on II. Plants are watered and all
the weeds are pulled. All the insects
that lay eggs on our plants are kill
| ed. All the rubbish in our yard Is
thrown out Of the yard and burned.
| All the animals coming in our yard
are driven out and pounded with
stones. All the lazy boys and girls
are looked after. All the maps hang
! ing on the walls are busted every
week. The closets are swept every
day. The boys and girls clean their
feet before going into the school.
The boys fight the large rocks with
a slcdge-hammer. The rocks get the
worst Of 1t. Some girls pack soil in
the yard. There are many large trees
in our yard. The school rooms are
swept every day. All the things In
the rooms are placed in their proper
places. We shall draw pictures OF
our plants. The Third Grade boys
are good drawers. You will receive
some of their drawings later.

sentcd them. You can represent TO
your colleagues more clearly than can
we these conditions, and the absolute
fairness Of orr request. We know
there is a prejudice existing in the
United States against the importa-
ton of so-called coolie labor; we
know that, particularly on the Coast,
there is great prejudice against our
race, and strong desire TO exclude
them from the United States; we
know that the President OF the Unit
ed States has on many occasions eS-
pressed the opinion that the eXclu-
sion of Chinese is necessary. New
ertheless, we feel satisfied that
close and fair investigation into
conditions as they exist in the Terri
tory of Hawaii will show that cer-
;ainly, in so far as we are here con-
cened, the prejudice against us is
unfCunded. We feel satisfied, for
instance, that IL President Roosevelt
could visit our Territory, and spend
the time and make the Investigations
which you have spent and made, he
would alter his opinion in so far as
we are concerned; and further know
that Il all Congressman mad spent
the same time here ana made the
same Investigations that you have
made, our request would be granted.
Whatever action you may take IN
| the matter, or whatever action Com
Eress may take, you may rest assur-
ed that the Chinese of Hawaii are Il
iaw-abiding, loyal lot OF people, and
that even should you turn down our
request, we will feel no resentment,
and understand that It Is owing to a
lack of knowledge on the part OF
Congress.

raised to such bill, we would not
have any objections to having the bill
provide that these restrictions shall
be made by regulations of the De-
partment OF Commerce and Labor;
although of course we should prefer
the admission to Hawaii of Chinese
without any restrictions whatever,
we would have no objection to reas-
enable restrictions, nor to any abso-
lutte prohibition of Chinese Iaborers
going FROM the Territory to the
mainland, should Congress insist
thereon. The reasons to DO urgeu
in favor of such legislation, briefly
stated, are as follows:
Chinese Have Done
Within the Hawaiian Islands the
Chinese have done much TO develop
the country; land has been reclaim
ed abandoned lands restored to pro-
duGtiyeness; they have introduced
and carried forward successfully the
rice industry, second only, in these
Islands, to sugar in its Importance;
and have likewise done much to assist
in the unparalleled development OF
the sugar industry itself This has
been done by the Chinese. too, with
out depriving other races of employ
mcnt.
At the present time we maintain
churches, newspapers, Il Chinese
branch of the Y. M. G. A., a modern
hospital, private schools, and many
societies devoted to the care of the
poor and the aged of our race.
Chinese Integrity
with our financial integrity you
are probably acquainted. The rec
orOs will bear out our statement that
we pay our taxes willingly, and fai
to pay our debts only when we have
not the money therefor. You may

Il is very uneven. 1t is on n bad

packed soil on the places where there
ere many stones. They packed soil
on the terraces. The uneven places
are being filled up. The holes must
re filled up. Plants must be well
kept. The children must give water
to them, when the soil Is very dry.
The gates must be shut every day, so
that the animals will not come in.
. The weeds must be cleared away
for the coffee plants and ii leaves.
The children will draw pictures of

Dear Sir:-Kula is a very nice
place. The farmers in Kula raise
many vegetables. They raise corn,
beans, potatoes, beets, radishes,
pumpkins, peas, cabbages, and many
other things. The children in our
school are doing their best to raise
vegetables, too. The manager and
the farmer boys have planted some
vegetable seeds, but they have not
terminated. On Fridays he takes the
boys with him to work In the garden.
Our teacher is giving us lessons on
different kinds Of soil. Last Friday
the children of the advanced room
went out and brought different kinds
of soil into the schoolroom and exam

soils contain many small stones. We

which they will not o care to have
repeated. After the train was in mo-
ton it was discovered that two ho-
boes had climbed aboard for the pur-
pose of stealing a ride. The two
brakemen went to the car on which
the hoboes had taken refuge, and at
tempted to force them from the train.
Before they realized that the hoboes
would resist the two knights of the
road attacked them.
The trainmen were taken unawares,
and were unable to make an effective
fight, with the result that they we're
soon overpowered. The trainmen
were armed, but the hoboes took pos
session of their ~revolvers, and then,
as If wishing to add insult to injury,
kicked them from the train.
One of the trainmen was quite bad
ly injured by coming into contact with
the ground. It is stated that in addi-
ton to securing the weapons of the
trainmen the iloboes also robbed them
of SIS in money, but the money part
of the story Is denied by the trainmen.

Peter Isaacson, an employee in the
Homestake mine, is undoubtedly n
of the most unfortunate men in that
company's employment. He is known
as a regular patient at the Homestake
hospital, and when he is aot in the
hospital his ward is reserved for him,
for a week is about the longest he
can go without meeting with some
accident. Fate seems ever ready to
go out Of her way to break his limbs
or disable him In some way. Just
recently, while walking along the 500
foot level near the Star shaft, a run
away air engine ran into a pile Of
drills and threw one Of them from
the pile and striking him broke his
leg. At the time of this accident he
was walking with a cane as the re-
suit of an accident a short time prior
to this one, when, during blasting. a
beam was blown against him, break
ing his leg. Once he was obliged to
'lay off for nearly two years hat he
might ecover from serious wounds,
gained while blasting.
