GOOD EATING Blythe
ROADSIDE IN THESE ISLANDS

Editor Advertiser: I have noticed
that some things which are plentiful
in this Territory are not utilized to
the extent that they might be, owing
possibly to lack of knowledge of their
capabilities.
To give two instances of materials
now neglected and wasted, which might
be put to good uses.
The common sowthistle. Sonchus oler.
aceus, grows luxuriantly along the
roads, and in the sugar plantations of
these islands. The tender shoots of this
plant is an excellent vegetable, equal
to spinach, when boiled with bacon or
salt pork. 1t is also a powerful anti
scorbutic owing to the large percentage
of alkaline matter which it contains.
The New Zealand Maoris constantly
use it as an article of food, either boil
ed in pots, or steamed in their "umus -
or native ovens. When animal food
is scarce with them, this vegetable is
often the only relish they use with
their kumara, and Irish potatoes
The sowthistle was accidentally IN
troduced into New Zealand in grass
seeds about fifty years ago, and the
Maoris soon discovered its edible quail
tiles.
1t is~a remarkable fact that since
this green vegetable, and Irish pota-
toes, with milk and fresh meat, has
superseded their ancient diet of half
decayed dried fish, and fern root, skin
diseases, scrofula and a peculiar form
of leprosy, called "tuwhenua, - which
were very prevalent among the Maoris
within my own memory, have now prac
tically disappeared.
The '-nmara or sweet potato. wheT

then ate the raw leaves of the Fpuha

acidity which caused the trouble.

If the sowthistle is not already in
use by the Hawaiians, they and others
may find it to be valuable and whole
some adjunct to their ordinary food
| cannot ascertain whether any use is
made of the vegetable by plantation
laborers beyond feeding it to domestic
animals.
When the U. S. Albatross visited
Savage Island in the course of her
scientific expedition some years ago,
the" botanists on board collected specl-
mems of the island fora. and shook out
their collecting bags before filing them
with their newly found treasures.
Among other plants introduced by this
simple means was the sowthistle I
found that although its feathery seeds
had spread the plant all over the island
the natives did not eat it, and / was
able to acquaint them with its uses,
and it is now valued part Of their
diet.
Another material which might be
better utilized is the leaf Of the sugar
cane. called crash I believe.
This stuff is exclusively used in the.
Pacific islands for thatching houses,
and is most excellent for that purpose.
well matched roof is impervious to
rain or sun, and lasts about seven years.
The leaves are plated on small canes
about four feet long.
The finished roof presents a very neat
appearance internally, while the work
can be executed with great CELEBRITY
once the leaves are prepared.
L have seen church with seating
capacity of 500 persons completely roof
ed in a forenoon by few score of
natives.
| European settlers going onto the land
| here may find cane leaves useful for
/ roofing purposes until they are able to
+ afford something more permanent.
1t is far superior to the grass which
the Hawaiians used in the past for
house-building purposes.

John Colburn. treasurer of the Ka-
piolani Estate, Ltd, wrote letter to
the board in regard to the selection
of city and county offices and criticiz-
ed the board for allegedly failing to
consider the question from the stand,
point of economy. The concluding para
graphs of his communication read as
follows:
we regret that your committee saw
fit to neglect to confer with US upon
this subject, and believe we could have
convinced, and can now convince, any
impartial committee, that the offer we
are prepared to make would be prefer
able to the proposed lease of the Nc,
lntyre building, especially upon the
score of expense. which is feature
of lively interest to every taxpayer. We
respectfully submit that the proposed
lease of the Mcintyre building is en-

Mr.. Mcclellan, who was on the com
