a foreman to make such running

Before the week was over assurances
were received in Pueblo that IL would
not be long before full forces would
be at work again, though no eaplsnn.

the overdue repairs.

TO MEET BIG FLEET.

WASHINGTON, August 81. = The
Navy Department is considering the
advisability of sending several vessels
now on the home stations to meet the
battleship fleet which is now on its
way around the world. Admiral Pills
hurry, chief of the Bureau of Naviga-
ton, has considered the proposition for
some time, but has made no recon-
mendation.
The Idaho, Mississippi, Montana,
New Hampshire and North Carolina
are all available for such an assign
ment. 1t is suggested that these yes
sells meet the fleet either at Gibraltar
or the Azores and become part Of
it. Admiral Pillsbury is now out Of
the city and upon his return the mat
ter will be taken up. 1t then may be
decided to send the five available YES
sells to join Admiral Sperry's fleet in
European waters.

EDDIE DEsHA WOULD
BRING TEAM HERE

The Garden Island has the following
baseball dope:
Eddie Desha is hoping to see an
inter-island baseball league established,
and from the present outlook to judge
the prospects are pretty good. Mean
while he is working hard to get team
together in order to take it to Homo
lulu and show the Hilo team that is
coming to town on the 10th that even
if they can beat the Keios, they will
find the Kauai boys harder problem
to tackle.
There is lots of good material here,
but the trouble is TO get it together.
1t is scattered all over the island and
very few of players own automobiles.
1t is therefore difficult for them to
run in to Lihue for an afternoon IS
practise and be back in time for work
in the morning, but somehow or other
the boys will manage to turn up.
Enthusiasm goes long way in base
ball as well as in other business en-
terprises, but it does not pay bills, and
right here is the PRINCIPAL stumbling
block for the team. Desha doesn 7
despair, however; he has found a
couple of Kauai men who say they are

Captain Orwell is here and there is
hope that he may do as he has talked
about and put the County Attorney
under arrest. A year ago, it seems,
the county altered bridge near the
wharf without the permission of the
War Department and Washington has
been asking that the plan be filed. The
county officers have paid no attention
to any of the letters Orwell and the
Department have sent. Charley Will
liams, alias Charley Mahope, doesn't ap-
pear to be worried at all and Chairman
Todd is of the opinion that no War De-
partment dare come to this island and
arrest the chairman of the county
board. Orwell has expressed the hope
that the supervisors will impeach the
County Attorney or do something dras-
tic in order to make him write let
ter to Washington. About everybody
else seems to be hoping for an arrest
or an impeachment of someone, Will
liams or Todd preferred.

SOME GLIMPSES OF COUNTY
GOVERNMENT ON BIG ISLAND

HILo, Hawaii, September 3.-when
it comes to politics the workers of Ho.
nolulu have to come to Hawaii to
know what can be donef Hustace and
Achi are amateurs when it comes to
working road board and getting the
best there is out of payroll. Chair,
man Todd of the Hawaii board can
give them cards and spades and beat
them out by margin wide enough for
an automobile track.
Yesterday the Hawaii board had a
meeting and the way it did things
fairly surprised the Hiloites, and the
Hiloites are used to surprising things.
In the first place the board, after the
opening prayer-they start their meet
ings with an invocation here, and they
say on the street that the longer the
prayer the more deviltry the board is
up tot was voted to carry a dead
policeman on the payroll for another
month because he needed the money.
Supervisor Frank Woods asked how the
money was to be paid, whether by
asbestos check or through sight draft
on the Board of Health, but his in
quiry was waved aside by the chair
man.
Then the real business of the session
was taken up, which was to fire all
the various road supervisors through
out the district and appoint new ones
who knew what was expected of them
in this time of near election. The
ground had been laid for this action.
At the previous meeting of the board
it had been resolved that hereafter in
this county the power of appointment
in the various districts should be TAX
en- out of the hands of the individual
supervisors and vested in the board,
thus shutting out the three Democratic
members. Then, in the meanwhile, pc
titions from the various districts had
been prepared and sent in.
Every petition was granted and ev-
cry district gets new road boss. No
reasons were advanced why any of the
old ones should be fred and evidently
none were expected. The majority
knew what they wanted and the minor

JULY WORK OF BOARD OF
AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY

Japan, during July, August and Sep
tember used to be heavily infested with
a variety of pests. We have kept close
watch on all incoming rice during the
month and found it invariably clean.
This is a result of the Board IS fumiga-
ton campaign.
Work Other Than Inspection.
On the 18th went to the peninsula
on request to ascertain the relation be-
tween the fruit and the insect found in
unusual numbers in ripening figs. Upon
examination several overripe figs were
found adhering to the tree and in these
host of those beetles, so common here
in decaying fruit. So abundant were
these beetles that at the slightest Jar
of the tree numbers of them would fall
out and drop onto what was below
them. The owner was written to and
instructed to remove the infested fruit
and drop it into kerosene and thus
destroy most of the beetles as well as
their habitation.
On the 18th we visited garden in
the city on request to account for the
death of citrus tree. The plant was
found to have been ringbarked at the
crown by crown rot. This disease is
common here on citrus trees and is
made especially obnoxious by the sys.
tenn of irrigation in practice. Diseases
of that nature thrive best in moisture
Evidently then, to reduce losses from
crown rot water should be applied to
plants in way that it will not come
in immediate contact with the trunk
1t is not needed there anyway, since
the finer rootlets which are alone en-
gagged in the absorption of moisture
are at the extremities of larger root
branches, and lie at some distance from
the main trunk.
Miscellaneous.
Two colonies of live useful insect,
from the Orient were taken care of fol
the II. s. P. A. A brief resume of the
division s work during the year ending
June 30th was drawn up for incorpora
ton in the Governors report to the
Secretary of the Interior.
A collection of rare mountain ohia
fig shaped and red in color, grown al
Maunawili, was brought by Mr.. w. NJ
Giffard for exhibition. 1t was pre-
served in jar and placed in the ex
hibition room.
The inspectors assistant returned
from the Orient and reported for dut,
on the 18th.
Respectfully submitted,
