OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MAIL.

SYDNEY, February 12.-Sir James
Mills, managing director of the Union
5. s. Company Of New Zealand, who
has Just completed an eight months
tour Of Canada and England, arrived
at Sydney yesterday on his way home
TO New Zealand. For some time past
he has been busily engaged in connee
ton with a scheme for an improved
mail steamer service between Austria
liza and Canada, and there IS every pos
sibility, he says, of the proposal being
shortly adopted. The Union s. s. Com
pany, which conducts the service, IS
anxious to provide better class of
steamers. and to shorten the time of
journey, but this neeessitates an in
creased subsidy.
Under the existing contract, which
expires On July 81, the total subsidy
paid TO the company is zee. 1000 a year,
OF which Australia contributes over
f26. 900. Canada e37 900, and FIJI be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. The proposal
which is before the Commonwealth gov
eminent, IS to increase the annual sub
sidy by SIS. 900, bringing the total up
Ii, SIS, 000 OF this additional amount
Australia 5 portion would be between
$1,000 and $500, Canada g between
10000 and eli, 600, and Fiji's about
5000 or s700.
The Union Company, Sir James Mills
SAYS, Is prepared for the extra subsidy
mentioned to provide two more new
steamers of the Maknra class, and cap
able OF maintaining speed of Is
knots. 10 replace the Aorangi and Mo-
ana. The time Of journey would thus
be reduced from 221a days to about
2I1a days. The proposal is to enter
into a contract for a term of three
wears. Sir James Mills during his re-
cent visit to Melbourne found the
Commonwealth government favorably
disposed. and the views Of Canada are
now being awaited.

commercial class. The appointment of
another assistant would enable the Di-
vision of Forestry to undertake this
work.
The widespread interest in the con-
seryation Of natural resources has
found expression in Hawaii in the APP
pointment by the Governor of Ter
ritorial Conservation Commission, of
which the superintendent of Forestry
has been designated as chairman. The
findings of this commission bear so in
innate a relation to the work of this
board that its report is reprinted as
an appendix to the report Of the Di-
vision Of Forestry.
Notwithstanding the severe drought
in many parts of the Territory, the
year 1908 has been remarkably free
from damage by forest FIRE. This is
probably due. in part at least, to the
better public sentiment in regard 20
forest fires that has resulted from the
forest fire law enacted in 1908.
Division of Entomology.
Tire late superintendent of this di-
vision, Mr. Alexander 'Craw, became
seriously III the previous October. In
the hope that reeuperation on the
mainland would restore his health, he
sailed hence on February 10 under
leave Of absence. But he failed to
rally and died on June 2S.
Mr.. Jacob Kotinsky, the assistant
entomo1ogist, was in August tempo
rarily and in September permanently
appointed superintendent of the divi-
sion. No assistant enfomologlst to
succeed Mr.. Kotinsky has yet been
appointed. The inspectors assistant,
Mr.. G. A. Jordan, resigned August Is,
and Mr.. D. B. Kuhns was appointed
in his place. The balance OF the stan
remains as before.
Inspection of imported fruits, plants
and vegetables is. as heretofore, the
principal work of this division. Three
hundred and forty-fve vessels We're
boarded for inspection, and in the
baggage. freight and mails traced and
examined 1882 packages. Because
of a variety of insects and diseases
s437 packages were ordered returned,
$50 fumigated or otherwise treated be-
fore releasing, At refused landing and
Ias destroyed.
Early in the year Mr.. Koebele sent
variety of scale bug enemies from
Mexico. which were bred, and at least
two of them promise results. Later,

There IS possibility that nothing
more viii be heard from the wreck OF
the steamer Aeon for some time f.
come, as Captain Miller, owner of the
schooner Concord, stated YESTERDAY af
ternoon that his beat might not call
at CHRISTMAS Island at all 1t was gen,
orally understood along the front that
! lapfa1n Miller s main idea In sending
the concord out on her cruise in the
South Seas was TO see what he could
MAKE ont of the Aeon's wreck. but
TINS was definitely denied yesterday.
Ihe Concord, - said Captain Miller.
went 10 Palmyra Island to get cargo
OF guano, and. If any call were made
at Christmas Island, it would simply
be because the boat passed nearby. The
Concord viii probably make a call at
flaming Island and I may hear from
Eben Low by cable. When he left
here, he vas instructed to take a look
at the wreck Of the Aeon if he hap
pened to sail nearby the island. Other
wise II made little difference as 1 was
nnabIe TO come 10 satisfactory terms
with the Australia people who pur-
chased the cargo Of the Aeon. They
wanted nearly 5000 for their inter
est, and / would have been several
kinds Of a fool TO take up their propo-
sltlon before ! knew exactly what
was getting for my money.
No, the Concord viii come back
here with a fRn cargo of guano which
has already been contracted for by the
Pacific Guane and Fertilizer Company.
| have had no word from Low as vet.
and may not for some time to come as
it is possible that he viii take on his
cargo before calling at Tanning Islans
and cabling TO NE.
Captain Miller stated that the Alden
Besse would be sent to Hilo lust as
soon as the steamer James Makee re-
turns from Eleele, where she is now
employed.
WIN Hurry Up Vessels.

ing, some OF the time at a 45-mile

Kukui Did Not Go.
On account of the terrific windstorm
which has been raging the last day or
so, the lighthouse tender Kukui aid
mot go over to Molokai yesterday morn
ing as had been intended 1t was de-
eided that there was no use in making
the trip as the weather conditions
would probably not permit of land
ing on the north coast of the island
where Major Winslow expected to 60
ashore.
On this account the Knkui viii not
leave -her dock until Monday morning
and the Molokai trip viii be delayed
for several weeks. She viii sail for
Hawaii Monday and will make the COM
plete cireuit of the island, visiting all
the stations and lighthouses there. Ma
ior Winslow or Lieut.. Moses viii in all
probability accompany the boat on this
voyage, which will be her second duty
assignment since arriving here.
The gasoline launch which was
brought down here on the Kukui for
use in short cruises has been replaced
By genuine surf-boat Of the same
type as those used on the Inter Island
steamers. These boats are very strong
and servieeable for use in heavy sea,
and it was found that much more good
could be derived from one than from
the launch. The latter has no engine
as vet. but this viii be installed later.
The launch has been transferred to the
wharf at which the Kukui is tied up.

A storm, of kind that waterfront

has been dene on the various Islands.
The wind is cold and has been accom-

that the public would be as quick 70

A little while after the subject was
dismissed. and several months passed
before this conversation was recalled,
the idea grew upon Mr. Forbes until
finally he was impelled with a desire
to create such a play His next
move was to acquaint himself with a
number Of commercial men whose ac-
quaintanceship he cultivated One
day he asked one of them if he would
object to his accompanying the gen
tleman on a trip and permission was
readily granted The journey covered
nearly ten weeks over a number CT
states in which many towns We're Wis
tied. Plenty of atmosphere was gath
cred up, and Mr.. Forbes having be-
come thoroughly familiar with road
life, Immediately set to work with the
result, The Travelling Salesman"

CATARRH Of the respiratory organs
~ is common ailment in Canada for
at least two-thirds of the year.
This condition is no doubt caused by
the long, severe winters experienced in
this part Of the continent.
Therefore, when Peruna was discov.
cred by Canadian people to be relia-
bic remedy for these catarrhal diseases,
IL at once became a popular medicine,
not only among individuals and in fam
lilies, but in the great hospitals, where
1t was used as preventive and relief in
hundreds of cases.
These institutions do not hesitate to
give their endorsement of the remedy
which has been so helpful in the treat
ment of their poor and sick.
Among these institutions is that of
the Sisters of Coed Shepherd, who give
the following endorsement:

Having used PerHna for the pasf few
months, for our sick and poor, we are
