Washington, Dec. 10.-Forest pres |
ervation was the principal topic at
the joint conference of governors and
the conservation commission here to-
dey. The report of the forest sec
ton was made by Senator Reed
Smoot, of Utah, chairman of the sec
ton and his report was a summary
Of the great mass of statistics which
the first inventory represents. In
part the report says:
What We Have.
Our forests now cover $50 million
acres, or about one-fourth of the
United States The original forests
covered not less than $50 million
acres, or nearly one-half.
Forests publicly owned cover one
fourth of the total forest area, and
contain one-fifth of all timber stand
ing. Forests privately owned cover
three-fourths of the area, and con-
tain four -fifths of the standing tim
ber. The timber privately owned is
not only four times that publicity
owned, but 1t is generally more val
liable. d SlX ~
Forestry is now practlced on 70
per cent of the forests publicly own
ed and on less than one per cent of
the forests privately owned. or on
only IS per cent of the total forest
area.
What Is Produced.
The yearly growth of wood in our
forests does not average more than IL
cubic feet per acre. This gives
total yearly growth of less than seven
billion cubic feet.
What Is Used.
We take yearly, including waste in
l.
lion CUBIC feet of wood from our for

We use each year 100 million cords
of irewood, 40 billion feet of lumber,
more than a billion posts, poles and

hall here IL would become the estab-
lished custom to hold all national po-
litical conventions in the capital, but
there is reason to doubt whether this
hope would be realized. Geographicall
and political considerations both
would be against IL. 1t would be a
long ways for the Pacific coast dele
gates to travel, though when they had
journeyed to Chicago the trip to
Washington would not be of serious
consequences. There was consider
shle complaint. though, when the Re-
publican convention of eight years
was held in Philadelphia.
The chief objection to holding con-
ventions in washington. however,
would be the charge that this adinin>
istration and federal Office holders
had dominated those of the party in
power. Even as II is, the cry that of
fice-holders are being used to control
the convention of the dominant party
is raised each fourth year, and were
the conventions held in Washington
the charge would have too large a
coloring of probability.

and increased the pay of officers and

clerks in the various departments

FLEET SAILS
NINE-THIRTY
Ready to Meet Neptune and
Court at Equator
Line.

+ At $50 CLOCK this morning the Pa
cifc fleet will be under way for Pago
.Pago, Samoa.
Hald an hour before the hour set for
starting the cruisers will commence
picking up the destroyers and get the
towlines fastened Then with the flag
ship West Virginia in the lead the
seven cruisers, seven destroyers and
one supply ship win leave Honolulu
but the warships will be absent only
a month, and then come the official
festivities which were deferred until
October on the recommendation of Rear
Admiral Swinburne.
Yesterday afternoon at 1880 the
cruiser Pennsylvania left the harbor
and anchored outside, followed by the
Maryland, Washington, California and
lastly the Tennessee. The flagship
West Virginia remained at the Alakea
dock all night and early this morning
will go outside to form the line. The
destroyers leave port by eight O'Clock
and on going outside will range them
selves, each behind the cruiser which
towed it from San Francisco to Ho-
nolulu.
The men made the most of their
leave ashore yesterday. Most of them
were aboard their vessels before noon.
The South Dakota men were ashore un-
til 5 clock, and then the bluejacket
patrol got busy and began rounding up
the slow ones. The patrol was in town
until evening and It's numerical
strength was then reduced to a mini
mum, for without sailors ashore having
funs there was no necessity for all to
be >on duty.
BY 'clock last night every man
wearing sailors uniform was sup
posed to be on board his ship
And the town is about cleaned out
of everything salable. Music stores
had their stocks of phonograph records
reduced to a minimum; the photograph
ers and photo supply stores sold films
by the gross; the shoe stores did
good business, the Oriental stores sold
pieces of mating and Chinese and
japanese slippers in large quantities;
the restaurants were patronized until
the cooks, walters and cash takers
were tied. One or two of the popular
restaurants had to close up at times in

JAPS ORGANIZE
TO CONTROL THE
FISH BUSINESS
Apparently Preparing to Make Good Their
Threat to Cut the Chinese Fish Dealers
Out of the Business.

The officers of the corporation are:
DR.. T. Mitamura, president; S. Sheba,
vice president; S. Nakamura, treas
urer; Y. Soga, secretary; Y. Desaki and
T. Kurameto, auditors.
The board of directors shall consist
of from eight to fifteen members, but
to be director shareholder must own
at least twenty-five shares of stock.
The list of stockholders is long one
and apparently includes every Japanese
fisherman and sampan owner that goes
out of this harbor The duration of
the corporation is fifty years.
As it is at present, the japanese fish
ermen practically control the entire
catch that comes to this market, as well
as to most places in the Islands. But
the Chinese are the marketmen and
control the sale of fish, buying from
the japanese fishermen and retailing to
the public There have been differ
enees between the two, races, and
threats have been banded back and
forth. Some time ago the statement
was made, apparently from an authen-
tic source, that the japanese would
shortly combine, organize market, and
themselves market their catch, cutting
out the Chinese retailers. That is what
it seems is now about to be done.

dore Roosevelt, after he has ceased to
be President of the United States. are
now under way, and, if the present ar.
rangements are carried out, he win de-
part on the White Star steamship Gel
tic on March 7, 1909 The deck of the
ship will be more or less reconstructed
for the accommodation of the Roose-
welt party.
At least a dozen people will go with

island two days and then depart for
Cape Town about March 21; be enter
tanned by the municipality and leave
three days later for Kimberly; in
spect the diamond mines and go to
johannesburg, and from thence take a
German East African ship to some
convenient point where the jungle can
best be reached.
If final arrangements are made for
the then former President to go on
the Celtic the ship win be altered to
suit him and his party. A grand suite
will be arranged for the distinguished
guest. and provision viii be made for
gymnastic work for the hunters, so
that they may reach Africa in prime
condition to begin their travels. It
has been proposed also to have a
gallery on deck, where gun
practice can be carried on.
The Celtic is to make one of her an
nual cruises, beginning two days after
a new President is inaugurated, and it
is known that the present Chief Ex-
ecutive is anxious to get away as soon
as possible after his term of Office has

Secretary Mott t-Smith has completed
his annotated edition of the election
laws of the Territory, and they are
ready for the printer. There are fifty
typewriter pages of the text and
about thirteen typewriter pages of
notes. 1t win make a pamphlet of
about forty-fve pages. The work is
one representing much industry and re-
search. 1t contains all the emendations
and notifications of the election laws
made by Congress, and all the adjudi-
cations on any point of the law. These
are surprisingly numer-
Gus, and touch the law at great many

DEMOCRATS To
CONVENE TODAY
Will Choose Standard Bearer
Ingham for the
Chairman.

The Democratic Territorial Conven-
tion will meet in Waverley Hall at 10
O'Clock this morning. A caucus of the
delegates was held last night at which
the plan of temporary organization
was discussed.
Edward Ingham, the chairman of the
Territorial Committee of the party, Will
call the convention to order, and is
scheduled for temporary chairman.
John Emmeluth will be put in nomina-
tion for temporary secretary. George
X. Lowe viii be the temporary inter
prefer. and James A. Aud will be the
temporary sergeant nt-at-arms.
The committees on credentials, per-
manent organization and platform and
resolutions viii consist of one member
from each Representative District to
he selected by the delegates from the
respective districts.
1t is expected that the temporary
organization of the convention and the
appointment of committees can be eff
feeted in comparatively short time,
and a recess will then probably be
taken until the afternoon to give the
committees time to report.
There was considerable discussion in
regard to the organization of the new
Territorial Central Committee, and if
the convention approve the suggestions
n 10 IL
consist of eight members from Hawaii,
six from Maui, twelve from Oahu and
four from Kauai.
Who the permanent officers OF the
convention will be does not seem to
have been decided on vet. So far as
could be learned there is no one vet
listed for permanent chairman. The
committee on rules and permanent or
ganization will probably nominate the
permanent chairman.
It is expected that a large number
of the delegates from Hawaii and
Maui will arrive this morning by'th
Claudine /
L. L. MeCandless viii undoubtedly |
be nominated for Delegate to Congress,
and a leading plank in the platform
will state the position of the party on !
the land question. The platform, how
ever, as far as can be learned, has not |
yet been drafted, though individual
delegates may have expressed their
views in the forms of planks ready for
