KILAUEA BILL
WELL RECEIVED
Secretary of Interior Thinks
Well of Plan for Ma
tiOnaI Park.
(By John E. Monk.)

WASHINGTON, d. C., Jan. 22-
Following is statement given out by
the Interior Department concerning a
bill forwarded by Governor Frear to
establish the Kilauea National Park on
the Island of Hawaii:
Governor W f. I'rear of Hawaii has
forwarded to the Secretary of the In
terror draft of bill to establish the
Kilauea National Park on the Island Of
Hawaii. 1t is understood the measure
ly by Delegate Kalanianaole. 1t is
drafted along lines of similar acts pass
ed by Congress, more particularly those
relating to the Yellowstone National
Park.
1T is proposed to create park to
include the two large active volcanoes
of kilauea and Mokuawcoweo, the lat
ter being at the summit of the high
mountain Mauna Loa. The greater por-
tion of the area, which aggregates
about $4,000 acres already is public
ldlu IL VIII ne NECESSARY W purchase
some small privately owned holdings
and the bill carries for this an appro-
priation Of $4,000.
These active volcanoes are perhaps
the most notable scenic wonder of the
island Territory, and annually are Wis
tied by thousands of tourists. The
proposed park would take in not mere
ly the two volcanoes, but numerous in
terestng deep pit-craters; also sulphur
banks, lava tree moulds and other vol
canic forms, in addition to tree fern
forests, forests of trees, both large and
small of many varieties, some of which
are very rare and also the haunts of
an unusually large number and variety
of Hawaiian birds
"The people of Hawaii have discuss
ed the matter for some time and are
heartily in favor of making this ma
tional park Under the proposed meas
ure, it would be part of the park sys-
tenn under the jurisdiction of the Sec
retary of the Interior"

oahu, Maui and Kauai counties will
all agree to the plan of appropriation
for belt roads according to the per-
centage of taxes each county pays the
Territory This is pretty well under
stood among members of the oahu del
egation, hut the position of Hawaii
county is not yet certain. 1t may be
opposed to the plan.
Under the plan proposed before the
Teri itorial convention and lately work
ed out in detail by Representative Rice
of Kauai oahu county would get $780,
600, Hawaii $4,000, Kauai $45,O00 and
Maui $4,000. However, Hawaii may
kick because 1t is the biggest county
of all and gets a great deal less than
Oahu and little more than Maui
1t is probable that the plan will go
through, and the main topic of discus
sion among the politicians in this CON
nection is whether the counties will be
allowed to spend the money themselves,
or whether Superintendent of Public
Works Marston Campbell will insist

SUGAR EXPERTS
NEAR SUCCESS
Important Experiments Point
to Forward Steps in
Industry.

Two remarkable series of expert
ments in progress by Director Charles
f. Eckart of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association experiment sta
ton and his capable staff of assist
ants, are now apparently coming to
a no less, remarkable conclusion. The
conclusion unless signs fail, is to be
successful, in which case the sugar
industry not only of Hawaii but of
other countries as well will be direct
ly benefited.
One of these is series of expert
ments with a parasitic enemy of the
cane-borer. The other is a test of
growing cane from seed and by the
processes of selection and elimina-
tion producing cane superior to the
present varieties of the islands.
Both of the experiments have been
years in the process 1t has been
more than four years since Mr. Fred
erick Muir assistant entomologist at
the station, was sent to New Iea-
land to find parasite for the des-
tructive caIe-borer. In the natural
home of the cane-borer, it was ar
gued, parasite that would destroy
1t was sure to be found. This is a
law of nature, and it held good.
The problem was not to find the
parasite, but to bring it to Hawaii.
The insect was hard to propagate and
even harder to send from its home
in the Antipodes to this Territory. But
by the patient establishment of relay
stations at various points, this diff
Guilty was finally solved. To Ehe
solving. however, MIR. Muir devoted
the most enthusiastic and intense en-
deavor and his labor. it seems, was
not to be fruitless
Up at the experiment station the
parasite has been propagated That
success is coming may be argued from
the fact that the more nearly the arti-
fetal conditions have approached the
natural ones. the more effectively
have the parasites worked, and re"
Gently they proved deadly enemies of
the cane-borer.
This experiment, however, is still

Especial lletin Correspondence }
HlLO, Feb. 3.-The Board of Super
viSors at the meeting this week final
ly pae"o1 a resolution providing for
the en'I oyment of a county engineer,
at salary of $3.50 MONTH to hold
his office for not less than one year,
unless removed for cause. The resolu-
tion was virtually framed by Austin,
but was introduced by Koomoa, the
Home Rule member from Kona.
A strenuous debate followed the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution, KOomoa
argued, while moving that it be adopt
ed, that the roads We're going from
bad to worse, and the roads i'm Kona,
for instance, needed the supervision Of
a competent engineer.
Beckley also spoke in favor of the
proposition. All the other counties had
them, and the time had come when Ha
waii should have one also, In the past,
large amounts of money had been vast
ed, sufficient to have paid for an en-
ginecr twice over.
Purdy moved to table the resolution,
