FIFTEENTH DAY.
Morning Session.

Sheldon's resolution memorializing
Congress for statehood for Hawaii was
adopted this morning in the House. II
was introduced as a joint resolution
yesterday and today was, on Sheldon S
motion, amended to become a con-
current resolution.
TO RAISE THE CLERK.
From the Supervisors of the County
of Hawaii came a serious-looking
screed weighed down with a beautiful
golden seal, nothing more nor less
than a resolution of the Hawaii Su-
pervisors to the effect that the Salary
of the Clerk of that County be raised
equal to the salary of the treasurer of
that county, the clerk having additional
responsibilities in the matter of sys-
tematizing the road work expenses;
and he will now have more or less
something to do with regard to the
stationery of Hawaii county and will
also be more or less purchasing agent
in road supplies. therefore he should
have more or less of a raise.

Associations yesterday afternoon there
was meeting of the directors at
which several matters of Importance
were discussed and disposed Of. Among
other things it was reported that in

possible here. In the past 1t has been
the practice to advertise for tenders on

shutting out local bidders. Under the
rev rule all supplies for the local
troops may be handled by local mer-
chants.

For many years, how many no one
on the mountain side or I'm Oakland is
able to say, Joaquin Miller has made
his headquarters on the big sweeping
table land on the very top of the noun

and as far back as the oldest inhabit-

In the TERRA del Fuego section, or subsec-

most remarkable, with its thick soft bark, its
spongy wood It's dense foliage, and long clus-
ters of white blossoms II is of rapid growth
and attains an enormous size. The soil here
is too rich for It; so, in sef-defense, its i'm
mense roots, after few years, seek the sur
face. The older trees have numerous little
tender branches that spring directly from this
surface root and grow straight up through the
thick branches trying to reach the light. There
is one in the garden, eight years old, with
height OF so feet and a diameter OF three. At
about two feet above the ground the trunk di-
vides into two smaller trunks, each sending on
long. straight branches. Its roots are just be-
ginning to appear. 1t is an ideal tree for a
children's playground, with possibilities for
climbing about and even for keeping house
among its hospitable branches.
The section OF acclimatizaton is very inter
