line have manifested the most friend
" disposition about the construction
of the road.
Both the Onomea and Hilo sugar
companies will finish grinding next
week and have agreed to allow the
railroad company to use the water in
their numn systems for washing out the
cuts, some of which are 40 feet deep.
After filing the gulches, the same
water will be used to sluice dirt in
the manner that the Nuuanu dam Is
now being built.
The construction work is in charge
Of A. A. Wilson, who was recently
been building the Oahu Railway II
Land extension in Wahiawa. The gang
which he had working at Wahiawa has
been transferred to Hilo where some
$50 men are at work. The first work
being done is the construction of
bridge across Waikiki river, and con-
crete culverts in the gulches beyond.
The culverts in these fills are already
in course of construction. Several rock
crushing plants are running and a pile
driver has been erected on one bank
of the Wailuku river with which to
drive foundation holes in the bedrock,
into which coffer.dams will be driven,
1 to be later filed with reinforced con-
crete piers.
The Hilo Breakwater.
The government breakwater at Hilo
is advancing at good rate. 1t is out
nearly 900 feet from the shore, and
is progressing at the rate of from four
to seven feet per day. There was a
heavy northerly swell about week ago,
causing breakers along the entire
length of the reef about as heavy as
has been seen at Hilo during the last
year, but the breakwater was not in
iured or broken, and the breakers did
not arrest the work.
Pahoa Tie Mill.
The tie mill at Pahoa is doing fine
work. 1t turned out last week the fifth
cargo of ties, for the Santa Fe rail.
way, since June !. The schooner w.
II. Marston finished loading on Thurs
day last, having taken in $4,000 ties
in ten days. The ties were all loaded
at the Hilo wharf.
The tie mill of Messrs. Camp and
Bolte, which is being set up in lower
Puma, seven miles beyond the terminu:
of the Hilo railroad, will be in opera
ton during the next month. They are
still debating the question Of whether
to ship the ties via Hilo or by the
cable landing over the bluff in Kona
There is strong, hopeful spirit
manifested by everyone in and about
Hilo, such as has not been shown since
!, the days of the boom in 1900.

EXPERIMENT STATION CUMES
TO AID OF AGRlCULTURIST

without blare of trumpets, quietly
and unostentatiously, work is being
carried on at the United States Agri-
cultural Experiment Station in Makiki
that promises to accomplish wonders
for Hawaii The earnest band of scien
fists, brought together by the Federal
government, is working steadily with
test tube and retort, pick, shovel and
cultivator, to find just how Hawaii IS

and the wealth and fame of the Terri.
tory thereby increased.
There is no problem too stubborn for
the devoted party of scientists to
tackle. and there is no letup in the work
until the puzzles have been solved, and
the knowledge blazoned forth to the
world.
Located here in the middle of the
vast Pacific Ocean, is a group of is
lands more fertile than any like area
in the known world. Nature covered
the islands with verdure At for an
Olympian garden. But modern civiliza-
ton demands that the trees and shrubs
shall be wealth-producing When new
territory is opened up, the first ques-
ton is. GLOW can we raise the cereals,
1rultS anu vegetables, uehiuhuSu ioi
the commerce of the worldf' 1t is just
this question that is being answered at
the experiment station.
One of the important problems to
which the scientists at the experiment
station have turned their attention, is
the production of the mango on a COM
mercial basis. Though in tropical coun.
tries that luscious fruit has long been
noted as one of the choicest gifts of
nature, but little has been known con-
corning the best methods of propaga-
ton, and the tricks resorted to have
been cumbersome and not always sue
| cessful.
The successful growing of the mango

| demonstrated to be an impossibility
| No matter how fine the fruit from the
parent tree, the new growth from seeds
taken from that tree is liable to be

Had it not been for the GOODNESS and
courage of Mrs. E. Faxon Bishop there
might well have been a tragedy in the
Bishop residence on Nuuanu avenue last
evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop had been out
during the afternoon and returned to
their home shortly before 5 O'Clock last
evening Mrs. Bishop went to her bed
room and deserted a pair of legs stick
ing out from under the bed. Instead of
going into Mysteries, or shouting loudly
for help, she called to her husband
in low tone of voice, that there was
burglar in the house.
Mr.. Bishop lost no time in Selling a
rifle and running to the room. Then he
ordered the burglar to come from I'M
der, and asked his wife to call up the
police station on the telephone. Mean.
while the burglar, a very wilted and
sad looking object, was directed to a
chair and held there under threat of the
rifle, until Officer Fred Wright, a
mounted policeman, arrived.
The burglar gave his name as Tony
Belaska and stated that he is Chilean.

far from choice. Obviously some meth
cd of grating or budding had to be
resorted to.
In India for many years this difficult
ty has been overcome by the method
known as marching A ported tree, of
known variety, is placed in close prox-
unity to thrifty seeding tree, the
bark of the ported tree is abraded,
an abrasion is made in the bark of the
Seeding, and the two wounds are bound
together. Within a short time the two
trees grow together. Then the choice
tree is severed just below the place
where it is Joined to the Seeding, and
the Seeding is cut off Immediately
above the joint. The result is, that
the upper part of the seeding has all
of the good points of the known tree.
Though highly successful as far as
individual results are concerned, this
method is entirely too clumsy to make
it be commercially practicable, and OBJ
viously some other way of improving
the mango fruit had to be discovered.
1t was upon J. Edgar Higgins, horti-
culturalist at the experiment station,
that the task of working out the
problem fell The horticulturist tried
several means of grating, with greater
or less success. until he concluded to
attempt modification of one of the
oldest methods of budding known.
A piece of "bud wood" cut from
the limb of a mango tree of known
variety, is secured. The seeding which
is to be budded is prepared, a T-shaped
opening is cut in the bark, piece of
| bark containing bud is cut from the
budwood. inserted beneath the bark of
the seeding, and the whole is bound
together.
When the bud has become well es
tablished in its new home, the part of
the seeding tree above the bud is cut
away and soon the result is the same
as that secured by the clumsier method.
Repeated experiments have demon
strated that this method of budding is
eminently practicable. and through
the efforts of the horticulturist, the
mango tree can he made to produce
known varieties of fruit with as great
certainty as can the orange or other
citrus trees.
Another branch of agriculture which
the Experiment station has taken up
and one of even greater immediate inn
portance to the Territory than the de
velopment of the mango, is the study
of the pineapple.
Just one year ago, in response to in
quiries from pineapple growers, the
government decided to make some eX
