Work on Kauai.

The surface and ground water inves-
tigation was materially handicapped
through the lack of topographic maps
of the Islands. The geological survey
was appealed to, and Mr.. X. w. Mar
shall, chief geographer of the geological
survey, came to Hawaii. and it was
decided in conference with the super
intendent, that the first topographic
work should be the mapping Of the Is
land of Kauai. IS it presented most
typical conditions, was the smallest is
land Of the group, and further, that the
government ownership Of land and wa
ter on this island were of larger ex-
tent and Of as great. if not greater
value than the government land in 9th
er portions of the group and more sus-
ceptible Of homesteading and conserva-
ton Of water.
In conference, the following scheme
Of work was outlined and carried into
effect: The east side of the island. was
divided into fifteen minute sheets or
quadrangles. The portion lying north
of the parallel Of latitude 22-00 is called
the Kapaa sheet; and the area south Of
that parallel, the Lihue sheet. The for
mer contains one hundred aud seventy

such is the view expressed by Super

report to Governor Frear. On the sub

the following to say:
A point has been reached in the
conduct Of governmental affairs in Ha-
waji where work must be done and
money spent now for the future welfare
of unborn generations. This fact
should be recognized by our territorial
legislature and liberal appropriations
should be made for the scientific study

portant problems that are vital to the
future interest and prosperity of the
Territory; in fact, to widen the scope
of usefulness Of the department, and
the development of general plans,
whereby the future agricultural. in

Under the act of the last legislature,

Leighton, chief photographer, and Mr..
Mendenhall, geologist in charge of

was made by these gentlemen in com
pany with the superintendent. and a
scheme outlined for the investigation
of ground and surface waters. Later,
Mr.. W. F. Martin was detailed by the
geological survey of the department
of public works to take charge of the
surface water Investigations. Upon
