LET TREES
REMAIN
Citizens Protest
at Destruc-
ton.
PrettieSt Street in City
Must Be Preserved.

The publication in the Times-Re-
corder of the proposed slaughter of
the splendid oaks along Church street
by the street department aroused a
storm of protest over the city YES
terday That such a thing should be
attempted at time when the matter
of planting new trees and otherwise
beautifying the city was under con-
sideration made the proposed acts
seem all the more to be condemned.
An investigation showed that only
three trees had as yet been actual
ly cut down, though in running the
curbing the roots of others have
been trimmed. Property owners have
however been notified of an intention
to cut down some of the larger trees
to make way for the sidewalk. This
meant that it was to be only a matter
of a few days until the axe would be
laid at the base of the big trees, and
that their destruction would then be
only matter of few hours.
Mr.. w. H. Scarborough was one of
those notified He has three hand
some trees in front of his residence.
When notified that it was the inten-
ton of the street department to cut
down his trees, and asked what he
was going to do about it, he replied
that he was helpless in the matter,
and could do nothing
1t was easy to get protests yester-
day against the cutting down of the
trees. Every citizen seemed to feel
pride in the shady avenue, the
prettiest in the city, and the thought
of the destruction of these trees was
thoroughly repugnanc.
The following are some of the ex-
pressions:
Mr.. j. w Shefield:-'I heartily
agree with what the Times Recorder
said about the cutting down of these
trees. 1t would be shame to cut
down these fine oaks"
would get lot of nice firewood"
Mr.. ]. A. Pinkston:-"I would GER
tainly oppose the cutting down of the
trees along Church street They
ought to be left just where they are
We are trying to beautify the city
and this is long step in the other
direction"
Mr. W. H. c. Dudley, Jr:-"To cut
down these trees would ruin the ap-
pearance of the city. Church is the
prettiest street in the city, an it
should not be desecrated in any such
way"
Mr.. ]. j. Holiday Doubtless it
would be easier to cut the trees down
and run the sidewalks over their ruins,
But if the trees were in front of my
house 1 would certainly object. Guess
would object anyhow for the good
of the city"
Mr. Crawford Wheatley: UT would
be an outrage to cut down these trees
l am doing my best to get more trees
planted. We ought to keep all we
have
Mr. Chas. L. Ansley:-'T would
be opposed to sacrificing any trees.
In some places they seem little too
thick, and it might not hurt to thin
them out little there. 1 do not know
exactly where they propose cutting
the trees"

it has. done is very great. The
preceding spell of dry weather had
enabled the planters to complete
the work of planting their cane so
that the wet weather did not bring
about any Interruption and it gave
the young canes just the necessa-

acclimatize on the Eva plantation, but
which so far has refused to stay there.
This spider, which is valuable ally of
the leaf hopper parasite, is found at
Kohala, Puunene and Hamakua.
H. p. Baldwin stated that he had had
to introduce colonies of these spiders
time and again into Makaweli before he
succeeded in establishing them there.
DR.. Perkins advised Mr.. Renton to-
try and try again. He knew of no other
way of introducing the spider into the

Pathology and Physiology.
Director L. Lewton-B Brain presented
highly technical report on the work OF
the division of pathology and physlol-
ogy, dealing with various diseases to
which cane is subject. One discovery
of the year, to which the director at,
tached special Importance as being OF
practical as well as scientific slgnlh-
canoe, was that of identifying root
fungus, heretofore unidentified, as the
Marasmius sacchari, which has been
studied here as we'll as extensively else
where. This discovery, while not thor
oughly settled, reduces the number or
the soil fungi found on cane and neees-
sary to be dealt with from four to three.
Stem and leaf diseases and the work
of the division in connection with them
are dealt with at length, also the results
of experiments relating to floral bacte-
ria, which point, out the causes of the
falling off in polarization in stored
sugars.

to Hawaii of work in connection WIN

here, will be a good picture Of the Tor

although as planters, we are not dis
posed to minimize our responsibilities,
nor to underrate the manifold contin-
