Major Winslow, incidentally, has
more commands than any other Anne
rican officer on this side of the world,
for he is in charge of the local office
of the Department of Engineers, he
is in command of Fort De Russey, he
has the local lighthouse service in his
charge and he is commander of the
corps of Engineers engaged in the sur
yey work here.
The Engineers have found that the
Territorial map of Oahu is, as far as
it goes, a very fair work The Fed

ever, goes into intricate detail on "a

of so complete a map as is being
made by the War Department is not
a question to be answered by the En-
gineers, nor by their chief it is for
the War Department and that fact
alone is given as explanation enough.
I'VE were ordered to make a survey
of the island" says Major Winslow,
and that's all we know about it. We
are making a thorough survey"
So far the Engineers have completed
working maps of regions embracing
Makapuu, Laie, Kahuku, Waianae,

Diamond Head, with a few other sec

interior of the island remaining to be

There is something about HalelWa
that is pleasing to everyone who goes
there. The cuisine is better than is
usually found at a hotel away from
town but that has always been the
case with Haleiwa so 1t is not that
which takes so MANI people to that
resort. Golfers prefer the links to any
others within reach of Honolulu and
automobilists say the roads in that di-
rection are so perfect that there is
nothing but pleasure from the time
they leave town untfl they get dinner
at the hotel. It is good place at
which to spend a vacation because
there is everything to make stay
pleasant. The combination of excel
lent fea -ures is what pleases patrons
and draws them to the spot.

feet long, for in a city there are al
ways disputes as to exact property

Department is most particular; 1t re-
quires to know just how the land is
occupied, whether by a warehouse or
a vacant lot, by an armory or an ice
cream parIor The Territorial map
meet all city and property and Ter
ritorial requirements, but the survey
of the Engineers is likely 10 embrace
matters of detail of interest to the
military alone.
The attention that is being given to
details in the working maps of the
Engineers is highly interesting. There
is no speculation nor guess work
about a roadway, a trail a stream, a
ditch a waterway even though it be
dry, a cave, gully, a gulch, a cliff,
a pond. a slope or an elevation. 1t
is all down even to the stone walls
work about fish ponds; even to quar-
rles, varieties of groups of trees, farms,
cocoanut groves. chicken ranches,
swamps, etc. In fact one can take a
look at the maps so far made and run
his finger along a trail and tell just
how far it is from a place where there
is break in a stone wall to the crest
of a hill, or he may ascertain the
shortest marching distance between
the edge of a pond near Makapuu to
the beginning of cane field in Wal
amaze.
AS an illustration of the develop
ment of knowledge OF this island, the
Engineers have discovered that where
it has always been mapped and sup
posed that but one line of mountains
backed Kaena, there are in fact two
lines Of hills, and the peaks one sees
and believes to be the tips of a single
range are in fact the SUBMITS of a
double row Of mountains, all of which
makes a vast difference to the man on
foot crossing a mountain range
Work in the Waimea valley has, SC
far, perhaps proved the most difficult;
one of the hardships of this section
is a poison morn, the venom of which
while not very serious, is nevertheless
a substantial discomfort and which
has made miserable a number of the
Engineers WHO have encountered it.
Oahu will be the only island o.
this group of Hawaiian Islands to bC
surveyed and the final mapping O
Oahu will make this island absolutely
the best military known piece OF lanC
in the Pacific Ocean, this intimate
knowledge Of Oahu being required be
cause OF the extreme importance 0
the island strategically.
