HAWAII CONSERVATION

DR.. George C. Pardee, formerly Gov
ernor of California, is interested in
the work of conservation and develop

Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell has received let

that has gained many supporters in
the Islands, and commends the wis

necessity of following out in Hawaii
the mainland ideas that have come to
be regarded as a movement of nation

the future of the country.
DR. Pardee has always been inter

Mr.. Campbell yesterday, land as he is
recognized as one of the most progress
i've advocates of the conservation idea,
his words of commentator should
mean much to those of us who are
interested in the conservation of our
resources.

HAWAIIAN PINES ARE
ADVERTISING ISLANDS

]. J. Egan, who has been away from
ed yesterday on the Alameda, glad to
be home, and brimful of interesting
stories of his travels. He found that
the Hawaiian pineapple was doing it's
share in making the Islands known
all over the mainland and that the
delicious product of Wahiawa, Pupu-
kea and Haiku was rapidly becoming
a fixture on the lists of mainland
housewives. In Boston he had no diff
ficulty in buying some canned pines
from Hawaii and partook of them on
the table of his sister.

many cities. And when you taste the

course, beats all others. If the adver-

the frequency of one expression of

lands, and that was: That is the one

especially true of the Eastern people,
who apparently want some other place
to go to in the winter season than
Florida and the West Indies
Mr.. Egan is certain from all the in
formation he could get hold of while
in Washington that the present Ad-
ministration is most friendly in it's at
titude toward Hawaiian interests.

LLOYD CH|LDs WILL
LEAVE ON ALAMEDA

Lloyd Childs, who has been gathering
and arranging Hawaii IS exhibit for the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition, will
leave for the Coast on the Alameda
next Wednesday, taking with him a
large part of the exhibit on that steam
er. WI [. Pope is leaving on the
Lurline today and with him are going
the relief maps of the Hawaiian Islands,
which viii be placed in huge tank
in Hawaii's building.
Definite word has just been received
to the effect that the transport Dix, on
which it was proposed to send the entire
exhibit to Seattle, sailed from Maya
saki for Honolulu on the Goth. 1t is
understood that she will lay over at
this port for several days, so that the
time of her arrival at the Queen City
viii nearly coincide with the opening
day of the exposition. On account of
this fact, Childs is taking the school
exhibit with him on the Alameda.
Mr.. King will accompany Childs on
the Alameda to superintend the in
stallation of the school exhibit. Childs
has received word from the War De
partment that but four attendants may
take passage on the Dix. One of these

who will look after the Hawaiian surf
canoes which are to be sent to Seattle.
1t is possible that RothweH may take a
concession from the Fair authorities and
run an outrigger canoe ferry ON the
pleasant waters of Lake Washington.
The outrigger canoes will be decided
innovation in the Northwest and will
undoubtedly attract considerable atten
ton. One of DIR. Wall IS fine koa suffers
will go up in the Dix.
Five Hawaiian girls will go to Seattle
later to serve dainty dishes of pineapple
in Hawaii's building. The names of
these lucky ones have not yet been Civ
en- out Childs has the greater part of

it has already been, and the remain

WASHINGTON, April 18.-It is be-
lieved here by friends of Postmaster
Pratt that eventually his renomina-

made. Delegate Kalanianaole, Just be

other day, visited the Pestoffice De-
partment to inquire about the matter.

said he just following his visit, that
the possoffice Inspector at Honolulu
has entered charges of incompetency
against Mr.. Pratt. I think it is a
shame
Postmaster General Hitchcock says
he intends to take the case up soon
and see what can be done. 1t is un-
flerstood that the charges of the in
spector are based almost solely upon
the delinquencies of one of Postmas-
ter Pratt's employees, who, as was dis
closed some time ago, had been in the
habit of opening letters from the de-
partment and withholding them, SO
that much of the departments i'm
portant mail to the postmaster did not
reach him. Postmaster General Hitch
cock mas said that he thought g post
master ought not to be blamed for any
such delinquency of his subordinate.

DRUNKEN CHAUFFEUR AT THE
WHEEL.

A licensed chauffeur of an automo-
bile hack, in a state of beastly intoxi-
cation, drove a full-powered machine
up and down King street last night
and early this morning, although able
to walk with difficulty on the one or
two occasions he left his machine.
That he was able to guide his car and
avoid accidents was a miracle. Such
a chauffeur should have his license re-
voked without any delay. Pedestrians
and drivers Of vehicles take chances
enough with machines driven by sober
men, without having to dodge those
driven by DRINKS.

upon he thought it best to seek some
warmer and more congenial climate.
Before his departure he and Mr..
George. B. Mcclellan saw Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh regarding the
erection of the new Federal building
at Honolulu. Secretary Macveagh
told them he expected to be able to
have competitive plans prepared for
that building and would try to ar
range it that way. This is understood
here to be in accord with the wishes
of Honolulu people in the matter.
Something like fifteen applications
from Honolulu and Hawaiian aspi-
rants for the supervisor of census in
the Territory have been received by
the Delegate. No appointment, how
ever. will be made for two or three
months yet. The place will pay only
about $1700 a year-considerably less
than some of the applicants appear to
have thought it would pay. The basis
of pay is the population of the juris-
diction in which the supervisor is
serving, and if the population of Ha-
wall turns out to be about 100000, as
is probable, the supervisors salary
will be approximately $500
There is but little news about tariff
schedules of particular interest to Ha-
wall. Mr.. Mcclellan says there is
some chance of the House rates on
pineapples being restored in some part
by the Senate. 1t seems that the FL
nance Committee of the Senate sim
ply put in the Dingley rates, without
special reference to the merits of the
case and without material considera-
ton of the information which Mr.. Nc
Cle1lan had submitted to its members
The general policy of the committee
was to get back to the Dingley rates

PRESIDENT TAFT COMING
To THE PACIFIC COAST

President Taft is surely coming to
the Pacific Coast this fall, or the very
last part of the summer season, pre-
raratoEy to going northward to
Alaska This information was re-
ceived in letter yesterday address
cd to Honolulan from a very close
attache Of the President.
An effort may be made in the near
future, acting on this information, to
request the President to alter the
plans for his Alaskan visit by making
it via Honolulu.
The President will undoubtedly be
taken north in warship. One of the
swift cruisers of the Pacific fleet could
bring him here in five days, and be in
wireless touch with the mainland or
Honolulu every hour of the time the
vessel leaves San Francisco. The yes
sci could then coal here and start for
Alaska, which would be an almost
'due-north route.
Although the President is making q
trip to Alaska because it is al 5ut the
only part Of United States territory he
has not travelled over in his long ten
ure of office-hoiding, and he has Wis
TIED Honolulu before, yet it would be
not only an honor to Hawaii to re
ceive visit from him again, now
that he is the chief executive of the
nation, but would no doubt result in
mutual advantages.

EXTRA SESSION
The Legality of Consolidation
Scheme Has Also Been
Questioned.

''In about year from July 1st an
extra session of the legislature viii be
necessary to meet the financial emer-
gency that is sure to result from the
appropriation bill as it finally passed, -
was the statement made yesterday by
a government official of considerable
experience. This opinion is not con-
fined to any one Government official, -
for there are number of them who
have given voice to the same sentiment.
Perhaps it is trifie premature when
the echoes of legislative oratory still
linger about the Capitol, but there is
no lack of opinion that the 1909 Legis-
lature cut into the Territory's pocket
book neither wisely nor well.
The question as to whether the con-
solidat;on of the Department of Public
Works with the Land and Survey De
partments would survive an attack on
its legality is another matter that is
being taken up for discussion. 1t is
maintained in some quarters that there
is grave doubt as to the consolidation
scheme being legal
The Legal Problem.
The Organic Act provides that there
shall be Superintendent of Public
Works, Commissioner of Public Lands
and a Surveyor. 1t specifies what the
duties of each official shall be, and In
what limitations it shall be exercised,
but there is no prohibitory clause that
could be interpreted as specifically In
tended to prevent one man from hold
ing more than one of the Offices.
1t was conceded to be impossible I'M
der the Organic Act to make any
changes in the titles of the depart
ments, abbreviate the names or pro-
ide briefer official cognomen for
the chief executive in charge. To con-
form to the Organic Act he must be
known as Superintendent of Public
Works, Commissioner of Public Lands
and Surveyor The salary appropria-
ton for the new official is $4,000 for
the biennial period.
Those who would cast legal doubts
on the consolidation ask if, by legal in
ference, the chief of the department
will not be receiving $133.33 1-3 per
month as Superintendent of Public
Works and the same amount for the
other two divisions of his duties, Com
missioner of Public Lands and Sur

distinct officials with a salary for each
