Tour the Maui News discussed the

sneaker is admitted and it is said that
he is as fluent speaker in the Hawai-
ian tongue as he is in English.
eft is reported from the other SIDE
of Fast Mani that he is roasting the
Governor and Land Commissioner Pratt
and urging the people to vote for the
Democratic candidates on the ground
that the only hope of their getting
lands is through the Democratic party.
1eHe saws that it will be but short

ence League will take many thousands
of votes from the Democratic nominee.
EFThe awful financial conditions that
existed during the administration OF
Cleveland in 1898 to 1896 inclusive are
fresh in the minds of a great majority
of those who win cast their votes this
fall and it is not possible that they
will vote for a renewal of conditions
where untold thousands of able bodied
working men were walking the streets
and public roads begging for work at
any wage.
f.Not single Democratic state or
territory has Jared so well as Hawaii
has and just why we should turn down
Kuhio after what has been accomplish
ed in Washington and support an I'M
tried neophyte is more than can be ex-
planned
stThere seems to rs no good reason
why any member of the Republican
party should vote against the satisfac-
tory conditions that exist and have
existed for years under Republican rule
for the unknown conditions that will
be in vogue if the Democrats get con
troll. The only criterion we have by
which to iudge what the conditions Will
be is the history of what the conditions
were when the Democrats did have con-
troll in the past and that is none to
their credit.
"With few exceptions the men who
are at the head of the Democratic party
on this island are not of class to
inspire confidence and until a greater
number of responsible men take an in
terest in the local party there is no
hope that the Democratic party could
accomplish anything for the good OF the
community

| visited Halemaumau in 1891, 1905,
1906 and now in 1908, when the fires
are hotter and the view both by night
and by day, more awe inspiring than
l, ever saw.
The reflection of the fire upon the
sky tonight is over three miles high
and the appearance is constantly chang,
ing, it now being high in air and not
reaching the ground, while a few nights
ago it formed perfect dome extending
way beyond the edges of the crater,
which is some two miles by three miles.
On the latter evening the mist was very
heavy. Directly over the pit of fire
the light is so red as it rises and falls
that it appears like the liquid red hot
lava itself.
Over 500 visitors, from all parts of
the globe, registered here last month,
and with the constantly increasing ac-
tivity of the fire, which has always
been visited in perfect safety, no doubt
the record will be maintained.
When / visited Halemaumau in 1891
the lake of fire was about $50 feet
down, but little smaller than now
and with a pereeptible rim. Then the
fountains, by actual measurement count,
spouted liquid lava from 100 to $50
feet high, the distance being computed
by the seconds it took the lava to fail.
Now the fountains drop in one second
so are from fifteen to twenty feet high,
but sparks and small particles of liquid
lava are thrown thirty to forty feet.
The lake now is about $50 feet down
and looks as if it has risen at least fiji
teen feet during my visit from August
5 to 20.
/ saw on one visit at one time, three
central fountains and eight squirting
ones on the edges of the lake. One
feature of the central fountains is that
at times they move towards the shores
and often cause lava flows over them.
While our party was watching they be-
gan to move thus coming directly to-
wards us, moving with such speed and
exhibition of infinite power that it
would seem as if the very walls below
us would be crushed or melt away in
the maelstrom. Needless to say we all
of one accord rose to our feet prepared
to fly, but remained, spellbound, only
to see the fury impotently spent or
the shore, which it finally climbed and
SLOWLY spread out III merry noN W
the vertical walls at our feet.
In 1891, too, the crust constantly
forming and breaking, was of consid-
cradle thickness and the broken pieces
were thrown to the tops of the highest
fountains. But now the crust is very
thin and bends and breaks with no
perceptible show of thickness and great
red seams of fire extend in every dl-
rection and are constantly changing.
There are frequent overfpws extending
to the walls, and the lake contains fif-
teen to twenty acres or about two-thirds
of the surface of the bottom of the pit
which is 1900 feet across at the top.
On the bank, some distance from the
shore line, small fountain is now
playing, and there are many small open
ings in the banks which show clearly
at night.

Mahogany Company's Mill.

The path to the Fern Forest IS now
crossed by the railroad several times.
One may follow the car line and in an
hour arrive at the mill of the Mahog-
any company. In the mill there are
from 100000 to 100000 feet of sawed
koa and as much more in logs, piled
mountains high, near at hand. This is
a very interesting walk and one may
visit the fern forest, on the walk,
and while away the pleasant hours by
gathering red raspberries in the forest
or along the railroad.
The tree moulds are well worth
visit and you can walk to them in
less than an hour. They are at the
edge of koa forest near the ranch
house On this walk Divine cryst-
ais NAV be found in the sand. A
little further on sandalwood trees.
Down the Kanu road a few sandalwood
trees are still keeping up a struggling
existence.
The old orchard is across the railroad.
Here one sees the results of an ambi-
tious attempt to produce apples, pears
and peaches, and a few scrubby re-
mains are still alive. AS these are now
acclimated and sending up vigorous
shoots, they may have overcome the
scale which Alexander Craw showed me
in 1906, and little care might save
them. Yesterday I found two peaches
of fair size and flavor, and saw one
cluster of apple blossoms.

water tank at a higher elevation than
the old ones, and filed by pump oper-
ated by windmill, is noticeable fea-
ture
The sulphur steam baths are better
than ever. the vitreous pipe connections
having been replaced by wooden tub
ing so that one may take a steam
at almost any temperature. The build
ings appear in dressing of fresh paint
and everything is kept neat and clean
under the care of Mrs. Mclean, the
housekeeper.
The trail down to the lava floor has
been made easier and one only requires
a sedan chair to make the trip to the
pit of fire in absolute comfort and
serenity
The Atkinson road, however, will
soon relieve one of the arduous trip for
the trail, although having many turns
and ought to be easy, makes even the
good man go crooked.
This road is now finished to a point
on the margin of Kilauea-iki about OPP
posite the old Conservation point, at
the end of the trail to Kilauea-iki, a
distance from the Volcano House of
about three and quarter miles. On
this road one not only gets view OF
Kilauea in all it's panoramic grandeur
from Glover Is Leap, but at the east
ern side of Kilauea-iki, has a grand
view of Kilauea-iki, the cones and lava
flows into Kilauea-iki and the ''Plat-
eau between Kilauea-iki and KIlauea,
and also the western walls of Kilauea
itself in the distance.
About mile beyond Conservation
point the Atkinson road is connected
with the old Keauhou road short dis
lance below the ''Twin Craters. Re
turning by the Keauhou road, the sec
ond of the Twins is on the right>and
about 100 feet further towards the

is seen on the left side a few hundred
feet away This walk can be made
easily in an>houf each way.

The most significant things about
the Russian program is the apparent
unity between people and government.
a thing the more remarkable in that
such harmony would have been deemed
Impossible decade ago. 1t Is evident
that the Japanese war taught both the
people and the autocracy of Russia a
much needed lesson. The parliament,
that is to say, the people, are at one
with the ruler. Jointly they feel the
national instinct Of expansion and de-
velopment and, working side by side.
with worthy object in view, they
should be able to accomplish wonder
full things. For Russia is veritable
giant 1t does not yet realize it's own
strength: its own capacity for good.
The day of it's enlightenment is dawn
ing, and it is thru the people, not thru
its princes. that Russia will come to
its rightful estate.
