HTLO, July 14.-Marston Campbell,
superintendent Of public works, stopped
at the Volcano House on Wednesday
and Thursday last on his way to and
from waiohinu, where he had been
looking into homestead land matters.
At Pele $ homestead Campbell had an
interesting talk with David B. Lyman,
who had not seen the crater for fifty
years, explaining to him work done by
tho government on the Big Island and
plans that are under way for develop
ing it.
Mr.. Campbell was not talking for
publication, unfortunately, for his re-
marks were very interesting. He has
great hopes for the future Of the Ter
ritory, and could push the projects IL
only the legislature had furnished him
with more assistance, especially to re-
lieve him Of much desk work.

Pele's New Fashions.
Changes are taking place in the for.
nation of the volcano. While it is
lower than it was few months ago,
the eastern side of the pit, opposite the
resthouse, is developing what appears
to be new lake. Great cracks form
on the side and huge blocks Of rock
roll into the pit from time to time. At
night the glare from the fire is most
vivid, while in the daytime there seems
to be more smoke than usual.

visitors at the Volcano House, including
sixty who came from the Coast by the
