NEwELL's REPORT.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Giving
the results of observations made in
q recent visit to the Hawaiian Islands,
Director Newell of the reclamation
service. speaks at length of the posi-
bilities of the reclamation of lands
there suitable for homestead purposes.
He finds that as a rule the sugar
companies are irrigating most of the
cane lands but thinks that there are
considerable tracts of other lands as
well adapted to sugar cane which will
have a great value when water is
brought to them and they are intelli-
gently cultivated.
He thinks it probable that over 100,-
600 acres of land now practically use
less may be reclaimed, and says that
on this basis it would be possible to
furnish 5000 farms of twenty acres
each, which would provide for popu-
lation of about 10000 persons. He
therefore recommends a systematic
examination of the water resources
of the islands and the preparation of
a contour map.

OAHU COLLEGE PICTURE
EXHIBIT. At SEATTLE

The collection of pictures yesterday
placed on exhibition in Gurrey's,
which are to be sent to the Seattle
exposition, viii make a good adver-
tisement not only Of Oahu College,
whose exhibit they are, but also OF
the Islands. The pictures have been
made under the general supervision
Of Alonzo Gartley, who has also taken
many of the pictures. r. W. Perkins
furnished the originals of most of the
others, and Eddie Fernandez made an
interesting contribution in an unusual
" good football picture. The whole
collection is finished in sepia and har-
moniously framed. The pictures, in
addition to being beautiful representa-
lions of buildings and views on the
grounds, are works of art Such a
picture as that of Bingham Hall.
showing the green turf, palms and
evergreens and vines is a revelation
of beauty. The panoramas show COM
prehensiye views of the whole grounds.
The one with the title after Chapel
which shows the students leaving Pa
uahi Hall for Rotations. is especially
interesting.
The expense of making these pic
lures is being borne by the alumni as
ISOLATION, and much credit is due to
the officers-H. P. Judd, w. T. Raw
Inns, Lawrence Robinson and Mrs.
Malcolm Macintyre for carrying
through the MAN The axnepca ;c bo
ing met by subscriptions, which may
be paid to Lawrence Robinson, treas
urer. The pictures will later be pre-
sented to the trustees of the college
for their use.

HOSPITAL ON WHEELS.

n. Y. ommercial-Thomas H. Ben
ton, who travels over many countries
yearly, makes suggestion to the
transportation companies of the Unit
ed States. He thinks they should fol-
low the example of Walter Dilling-
ham, general manager of Oahu road
in the Hawaiian Islands.
There is not a train on that sys-
tenn, freight or passenger" he says.
(which is not furnished with !. an
emergency hospital. and the trainmen
are instructed in furnishing first aid
to the wounded. Everything ,neces-
sary' for the relief of injured passen-
gers is carried, and no man can be
in the employ of the company unless
he submits to instructions. 1t is an
excellent idea and has saved many a
life.''

A short time ago (says the Courier
JournaD a young lady was troubled
with a boil on her knee which grew
so bad that she thought it necessary
to call in a physician. She had form

SO her father suggested several others,
and finally said that he would call

case, who passed the house every day
They kept sharp lookout for him.
and when he came along he was call

HERALD ON HAWAII.

\. Y. Herald-The Hawaiian House
of Representatives yesterday passed
resolutions welcoming Admiral Ijichi
and the crews Of the japanese train
ing ships visiting our outpost Terri
tory.
A special despatch to the Herald
from Honolulu this morning gives the
text of these resolutions. In the eff
fort to do honor to the gallant adj
miral and assure him of American
friendship for the japanese Empire,
the author of the resolutions stood
so straight that he leaned backward
and needlessly reflected upon another
friendly nation.

MAX AND THE THUNDER

Max was little yellow canary,
which was given 10 Margary when
Hha was 10.
lie soon learned to know hia little
mistress and love her. for sna was

frightened him by coming too close
TO his cage at first. You see. canary
birds are very delicate and often IN
they are frightened by strangers
they will die.
After a few weeks Max and Mar.
gary we're such friends that Max
would come out OF hts cage aud
perch on Margary's finger. and let
her pat, very softly, his yellow
wings. And then be would play
hide-and seek with her. and that
was lots OF fun. This was the way
they did IT, Max would fly over on
the mantel aud hide behind a vase
or a little picture. and Margary
would pretend 10 hunt and hunt.
and finally she would find him.
then Max would fly out and hide B.
