cere friend trod this earth while he
lived. No nature more gentle, more
helpful, more uplifting than was his.
No public servant more honest, per-
severing, painstaking. more devoted
to duty. All friendship was his--he
died leaving not an enemy In the
world. In the death of Alexander
Craw every one that knew him lost
a dear, sincere friend, and no one
misses him more than his immediate
associates in office"

terinarian, read long report. New
rules regarding the importation an,
the quarantining of live stock from
California were read and discussed
They were, by the way, submitted I,

rules by the Governor would have t,
be acquired before their passage. Tn
question Of providing quarantine
stations for live stock in Honolulu
and Hilo came up for consideration
but 1t fell through for lack or avail
able funds. The quarantine station
