Following is the action relating to
Hawaii in the report of the Secretary
of the Interior for the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1910:
The act of Congress approved May
q, 1910, made many important
changes in the land laws of the Terri
tory and in the simplification of their
administration. The act also con-
tains other provisions beneficial to the
administration of territorial affairs.
There is lack of proper facilities
for passenger travel between Hawaii
and the mainland, due in part to the
fact that the through steamers max
ing Honolulu a port of call are gen.
orally in foreign ownership and can
not under the navigation laws trans
port passengers between the Territory
and the mainland. Relief should be
accorded through the suspension of
the navigation laws for a limited pc
Rod so far as they relate to such ira
vel, or in some other way which will
add to the opportunities for transpor-
tation of passengers. Appropriations
are needed for continuing the work
upon Honolulu, Hilo and Kahului har-
bors, for beginning work on some har.
Dor on the island of Kauai and for the
public buildings heretofore authorized
at Honolulu and Hilo.
The Territory consists of eight prin-
cipal islands having an aggregate area
of 6,640 square miles. Besides the
general ten years census there were
made during the last fiscal year the
five-year labor investigation required
by law, and at the same time and un-
der the same direction a military Gen.
sus of the Territory and a social cen
sus of the city of honolulu. The re-
suits of these are not yet available,
except the figures for the entire po-
pulation by races founded upon a pre-
liminary count, which is subject to
correction. The population of the
Territory thus found is 1895, an
increase Of 1906 over the previous
year. The population by races is as
follows: Hawaiians, 26,10S; part Ha-
waiians, 1872; Chinese, 21,666; Jap.
anese, 1880; Portuguese, 22,7O1;

WAIALUA, kauai,
SWEPT BY STORM

LIHUE, December 10.-The rice
fields at the head of the navigable
portion of Wailua river, about three
miles from it's mouth, were the great
est sufferers from the rainstorm which
swept the eastern side Of the Island
recently.
This plantation belongs to the Sun
Kwong Lee Wal Co., and the mill and
adjacent buildings had a close shave
from being swept down stream. The
only thing that saved it was the fact
that it was built on ground few
feet higher than the rest of the land,
and so missed the full effect of the
current. AS it was, the lower story of
the mill, including most of the ma
chinery, was submerged by the flood,
which rose at this point to a depth
of thirty or thirty five feet above the
ordinary level of the river.
Several large fumes were carried
away, including a high truss fume
carrying the water of the main ditch
across the river, besides two or three

WORK or THE HAWAII
Experiment STATION

In the section on relations with agri-
cultural experiment stations, in the
report of the Secretary of Agriculture
for 1910, the following appears:
Great interest has been aroused in
Hawaii by the cotton experiments in
augurated by the station, and the
growing of cotton in commercial guam
titles appears to be assured. The
cotton plant requires less water than
sugar cane, and already over 500 acres
of cotton have been planted on sugar
plantations where irrigation water was
deficient. Sea Island and Caravonica
varieties are the chief ones used, and
their cultivation as perennials is in
tended. By pruning at the proper
season the time of picking can be
made to articulate very we'll with the
cane-grinding season, when there is
the greatest demand for labor on the
plantations. The adaptability of this
crop to the owner of a small tract Of

land is being demonstrated. Breeding
experiments with cotton are being con-
tinued, and by vegetative propagation
some desirable strains are being rapid
ly developed, without the possibility
of undesirable crosses through polli-
nation. The Investigations on rice
have resulted in some new varieties
that exceed any in common use. They
have also shown the value of ammo
mum sulphate as a fertilizer for the
rice crop. The visit of the agrono-
mist to Japan last season resulted in
the introduction of a number of newly
developed varieties of rice, some of
which appear very promising. The
pineapple soil studies have been con-
tinued, and it has been found that
where the manganese content is not
too high the use of suitable fertilizers
will correct the injury due to manga
nese. A more serious pineapple trou-

NEW JUSTICE
HAS BEEN HERE

Willis Van Devanter, the new asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme court of
the United States, was a visitor in
Hawaii about twelve years ago, when
he visited the volcano. AS assistant
attorney general in the Interior de-
partment, some years ago, he was the
official who gave the most assistance
to ]. G. Pratt, when the latter went
to Washington and secured an appro-
priation of a million dollars for the
Chinatown fire claims. But for the
efforts of Van Devanter, Hawaii would
probably not have got the appropria-
ton. QSN
Van Devanter is a personal friend of
District Attorney Breckons, as well as
of Postmaster Pratt and Ed Towse of
Honolulu, and Breckons cabled his
congratulations yesterday. Five or
six years ago Breckons made the pre-
diction, to local friends, that Van De-
vanter would eventually reach the SUI
preme bench, and he was elated yes
terday when news of the nomination
came.
"When I go to Washington next"
said Breckons, 81 want to be admitted
to practice in the United States
Supreme Court. want to have my
old law professor, who first admitted
me to practice, move my admission
and Associate Justice Van Devanter
swear me in"

REWARD
URGED BY TAFT

(From the Presidents Message.)
The complete success of our coun-
try in Arctic exploration should not
remain unnoticed. The unparalleled
achievement of Peary in reaching the
North Pole, April 6, 1909, approved by
critical examination of the most ex-
pert scientists, has added to the dis
tinction of our navy, to which he be-
longs, and reflects credit upon his
country His unique success has re-
ceived generous acknowledgment
from scientific bodies and institutions
of learning in Europe and America. I
recommend fitting recognition by Con
gress of the great achievement of
Robert Edwin Peary.

About three thousand dollars worth
of rice was lost, in addition to the

mount up to over $4,000 altogether.
AS the company is not very wealthy

an effort to get a reduction of the rent

The Koloa pumping plant, at Ma

History Of Red Cross Seal.

Charity stamps" first used in
Boston In 1862 for the soldiers relief
funds during the Civil war. were the
original forerunners of the Red Cross
Christmas seal. which will be used
this year to bring happiness and cheer
to millions. The Delaware Anti-Tu-
berculosis society in 1907 for the first
time in America made use Of stamp
for the purpose of getting revenue to
fight consumption. In a hastily or
ganized campaign of only three weeks
they realized $4,000. The next year.
1908, the American Red Cross con-
Quoted the first national tuberculosis
stamp campaign. From this sale 1885,
900 was realized for the anti-tubercu-
losis movement. In 1909, under many
adverse conditions. $250.00O was rea-
lized from these stamps. This year

the right of state to withdraw from

to bring either disunion or the sealing
of the union in blood. II the differ
ence as to the dissolubility of the
union had not arisen out of slavery,
II would have come over some other
problem. The south was deeply i'm
pressed with the righteousness of its
cause, and Lee and Jackson and the
other great leaders believed In 1t as
they did in their religion. They we're
fighting for the freedom of their
states-not for the slavery OF men
and women.
These disputes are all forever
settled now, and no patriotic
American wishes they had terminated
other than as they did. Nevertheless,
