WOMAN'S RIVERS AND
HARBOR CONGRESS MEET

On Wednesday afternoon at The
Pleasanton the Hawaiian branch of the
Woman's National Rivers and Har-
bors Congress held it's second quarter
Nv meeting. Mrs. Harmon Hendrick,
Chairman Of the Education Committee
for Oahu, presided. Mrs. Gerrit Will
der in a paper on Conservation and
President Roosevelts Strong stand for
the Cause" traced the development of
the conservation policy and sentiment,
beginning with the reports of Mr. Gift
ford Pinchot that SO strongly impress
sed the imagination of the President
that he declared there is no other
question now before the nation of equal
gravity with the question of the con-
serVation of our natural resources"
She rehearsed the story of the Confer
ence of Governors, of their great dec
tiona1 Conservation Commission, of the
inventory submitted by this commits
sion to the President in Deem
Der of last year, and by the President
transmitted TO Congress with a mes
sage of approval; Mrs. Wilder eX
planned the Roosevelt policy of gov
ernmental regulation, and made a
strong plea for the conservation OF
beauty as that resource which alone
makes for patriotism and for pure
love of country. She would have our
scenic possessions included in the in
ventory and so conserved that our
children need not grow I'M in TO-
norance of the ''rocks and rills"
the woods and tempted hills"
about which they are taught to
sing. She told the story of Johnny
Appleseed" the patron saint of the
American orchard, and made a strong
appeal for the protection of insectiv-
orous birds which, at the decree of
fashion, are SO largely slaughtered for
their plumage.
Mrs. stanford Moses followed with
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-06-21

a paper on THE Waste of Our Ma
tional Resources, summarizing the re-
ports given at the Conference of Gov
ernors. She quoted facts regarding
the wasteful methods of mining coal
and iron, with the unnecessary loss of
human life in the mines. the careless
and Indifferent loss of natural gas in
the boring for oil, the wide destruction
of the forests, and the running of the
land, in many states, through soil ex-
haustion. 1t was an appalling por-
trayal. illustrating Prof. Shaler's
statement that of all the sinful vast
ers of mans inheritance on earth, and
all are in this regard sinners. the very
worst are the people of America. but
the paper closed with a hopeful re-
sumo Of the forces already at work
to conserve and rebuild Wise regu-
lative legislation, Agricultural Col
leges, and the Forestry School at Yale
are all working to counterfeit the evils,
and in some parts OF the country we
are beginning to stem the tide.
The last paper for the afternoon was
by Mrs. J. NJ. Dowsett on The Natural
Resources of Hawaii which she
classed as water, forest and lands.
ITO develop the land and get good
results we must have water, and to
have water in plenty we must have
the forests to protect the natural wa
tersheds.''
She spoke of the wasteful and
thoughtless destruction of the forests
in the past and the need for organiz-
ing to create public sentiment to in
sure the future protection of this re-
source.
She emphasized the need for better
harbors and wharves throughout the
Islands, and spoke of the part woman
may play in the promotion of the gen.
eral welfare.
Encouraging reports have been re-
ceived from the. committees in charge
OF the movement on Molokai and Ha-
wall.

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude 10 one can number.
You can see these people every
where. FOR them life can scarce
ly be said to have any " bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves its
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
all the curative properties &C
pure Cod Liver Oil, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry. No
thing has such record of sue
cess IN Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says: =" [ have

and found it to be very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
to take" You cannot be disaa

THE CLOSING DAY Of
MRS. HENDRY'S SCHOOL

The closing exercises at Mrs. Marion
W. Hendry's private school on Luna
lilo street were held on Thursday even
ing. The work of the children as illus
trated on the blackboard and in map
work was very creditable. Much deco
rative taste was shown in the arrange
ment of the school colors in flowers
and vines, the green and white inter
mingling tremendously. This was en-
tirely the work of the pupils.
A program presented by the pupils
was source of much pleasure to the
parents who were present. 1t included
recitations, musical numbers and a
farce. In this the young folks showed
the result of careful training and
studious application. There were FIVE
numbers:

CHAPTER xL.-Continued.

IL was beyond human endurance to support the leaden death. The little square of brass between the sights wavered. Seagrue stumbled, doubled on his knees, and staggering plunged loosely forward on the sand Whis pering Smith threw his fire toward the powder behind which Sinclair and Barney Rebstock had disappeared
 Suddenly he realized that the bullets from the point were not coming his way. He was aware of second rifle duel above the bend. Wickwire, worm ing his way down the stream, had un- covered Sinclair and young Rebstock from behind. A yell between the shots rang across the wash, and the cringing figure of man ran out to- ward Whispering Smith with his hands high in the air, and pitched headlong on the ground. It was the skulker Barney Rebstock, driven out by Wick wires fire.
 The shooting ceased. Silence fell upon the gloom of the dusk. Then came a calling between Smith and Wickwire, and a signaling of pistol shots for their companions. Kennedy and Bob Scott dashed down toward the river bed on their horses. Sea grue lay on his face. Young Reb- stock sat with his hands around his knees on the sand. Above him at some distance, Wickwire and Smith stood before a man who leaned against the sharp cheek of the powder at the point In his hands his rife was held across his lap just as he had dropped on his knee to fire. He had never moved after he was struck His head dropping a little, rested against the rock, and his hat lay on the sand; his heavy beard had sunk into his chest and he kneeled in the shadow, asleep Scott and Kennedy knew him. In the mountains there was no double for Murray Sinclair.
 When he jumped behind the point to pick Whispering Smith off the ledge he had laid himself directly under Wickwire's fire across the wash. The first shot of the cowboy at 200 yards had passed, as he knelt, through both templeS
