Governor Frear's report to the Sec
rotary of Interior for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1911, makes a book of
eighty-seven pages, including a Terri
torial register and directory of three
pages at the end
1t differs from reports in that the
entire subject matter is over the sig
nature of the Governor, instead of be-
ing made up of his own general re-
view and separate reports of heads
of departments AS we'll as being
thus more homogeneous in character
than before, the document is thor
oughly comprehensive and constitutes
an almost perfect yearbook of Ha-
waii.
Under the head of General Condi-
tons, the Governor gives a summary
of the contents of the report which
makes as good review of the docu.
ment as a journalist could possibly
put together. With subheads inserted
by The Star to indicate the subjects
treated, this Introductory section OF
the report is here reproduced:
Commercial and Financial
The last year. like the three imme
diately preceding years, has been one
OF great prosperity. Crops have been
large and prices good; new industries
have been begun and old ones ex
tended; transportation and commune
cation facilities have been increased
by additional vessels, by railway
street railway, and road construction
and by improvements in wireless and
telephone systems; there has been
much building. The Federal govern,
ment has made good progress in the
construction of the naval station and
Notifications and in harbor improve.
meets. The Territorial government
has made marked advances in many
directions.
Imports and exports for the year
aggregated 500, 451d63, of which, al
though less by $2,173,796 than the
amount for the preceding year, was
greater by $7226,9S4 than the largest
amount before that; they have in
creased 1875 per cent in the eleven
years of Territorial government The
imports were $27512,5SO, an increase
of S2,374,3S3, and the exports SAL,
93S,5S3, decrease of $4,547, 1929
About 9O.5 per cent of the trade
was with the mainland of the United
States. The steady and rapid in,
crease in imports from the mainland
continues; they have practically
doubled within the last seven years
The inward tonnage was 1,343,S76, an
increase of 35,O75, and the outward
tonnage slightly greater. The ton
mage has increased 40 per cent during
Territorial government Nearly 81
per cent in value of the freight was
carried in American bottoms The
customs receipts were $1,654,761. "a
an increase of $79,442.19, and larger
than for any preceding year. The
total thus paid into the Federal treas

The record shows that President
Taft was just about two years ahead
of him in recommending such a pro.
gram. Until such a policy is enacted
into law, President Taft and his adj.
minstration are, of course, compelled
to act upon the law as it stands.
The object of the antitrust law,
said President Taft in his message to
Congress, was to suppress the abuses
of business Of the kind described
(monopolies in clear restraint OF
trade) 1t was not to Interfere with
a great volume of capital, which, con,
centrated under one organization, re-
duced the cost of production and
made it's profits thereby, and took nc
advantage of its size by methods OF
duress to stine competition with it,

rather to kinds of food The distinc'
ton between these, moreover, is
sometimes so fine as to be quite in
comprehensive to the Western mind
as, for instance, when they call hen

I'm not sure which.
The superstition of thirteen seems
to be worldwide, In Persia it is SO
strong that in counting it is custom

Another of their superstitions relates
to bread. They think it a bad omen
to destroy a piece of bread, though
they would not think it so to destroy
anything else that they did not need
or want. Again, it is unlucky to cut
bread; they always tear it into pieces.
When | have asked them why they
have this feeling in regard to bread
the answer has invariably been,
F"Bread is the gift of God"

Written prayers are often sewed up
in cases of leather or beads or silk
and worn about the neck. The most
approved way of using written. pray

There are few rivers in Persia, and
not many of these are bridged. Years

tRemarks Of Ralph S. Hosmer,
superintendent of Forestry. at the an
nual meeting of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association, December, 1919
Members of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters Association.
+ Mr.. President and Gentlemen: Ar
guments in favor of forestry and state
ments of reason why such work ought
to be done in Hawaii have been made
so often before this association that
the subject is one familiar to you all
| do not come h re today to re-thrash
the old straw. But there are certain
things that for the good of the Ter
ritory must continue to be said until
the public sentiment that unuuestion-
ably exists here is crystalized into
definite and positive action.
No speakers could ask for a more
appreciatiye audierce than is this as
sociation but, gentlemen, what is need
ed now is no longer mere polite at
tention and the formal approval Of
recommendations. 1t is high time that
every plantation here represented
should in the terms of the street, get
busy with forest work, and that at
once
The sole reason why this demand
can be made here is that such work
viii pay. The plantation companies
are long term corporations They
should and can afford to look well
into the future. BY the practise of
forestry they will benefit themselves
in many particulars.
This whole matter is purely bust
ness proposition The only excuse for
the existence of forestry at all is that
l. is good business to use part of the
land for raising trees. That it Is
good business so to do Is proved by
the experience of many nations, an
cient and modern, so that indeed the
degree to which forestry is practised
has become a sort of yardstick by
which the relative advancement of
nations can be measured.
/ Here in Hawaii as elsewhere, wood
and water are at the foundation OF
all our prosperity. We have given
much attention of late to the right use
of water, and properly so. Mn Mar

BOY FIGHTS INDIANS SKELETON
AFTER STEALING IT FROM GRAVE

A north side youth after a long
journey has returned to his home
with his right ear and his life ambi-
ton sadly disfgured, says the Chicago
Daily News. incidentally he has ac-
quired ton or two over weight of
the adventure he sought in a distant
land and the appellation of skeleton
where once he was addressed as plain
Robert or Bobby. Robert, who once
was fired with an ambition to be a
doctor, had been allowed at the be-
ginning of summer vacation to visit
in Napa, Cal, a cousin he had never
seen. 1t was some time after his re-
turn before his father could draw from
his reluctant lips the story of the ad-
venture of the skeleton"

There was great sailing there on
the Napa river, but it wasn't at first
a bit exciting We would go down
the river for miles and miles-once

to camp for the night because the
wind died down, Aunt Mary wasn't
the least frightened either time, be
cause we took blankets and a supply
of grub with us whenever we went on
long sails. The last time we camped
out we made our couch beneath the

CAMP IN MOUNTAINS.
Deer Park, Nd, Site Urged for Prr-
chase by Government.

About two years ago Maj. Gen. Wood,
then in command of the Department of
the East, had some of his subordinate
officers make a careful examination oi
the country on top of the AlleghenieS,
in the neighborhood of Deer Park and
Oakland. Md, with a view to selecting
a site for a permanent army camp.
Gen. Wood found from their reports
that the country was admirably adapted
90 army uses; that ii had an abundant
water supply; was not so valuable from
an agricultural standpoint as to prevent
the troops from making their practice
marches without infiicting much dam
age upon the farmers, and, most i'm
portant consideration. il lay in the CEN
ter Of a circle that embraced more
militia forces than any corresponding
bit of territory elsewhere. He strongly
recommended the purchase of the tract.
But in the meantime the War Depart
ment had acquired the present camp site
at Pine Plains. n. Y, and the report
consequently never has been made the
basis of a recommendation to Congress
for its purchase.
Reports of recent activity Of persons
interested is said to indicate a purpose
on the part Of private interests to press

Despite the law to prevent the disposal
of Italy's national art treasures. the
clandestine traffic in works of art has
not been stopped. although the vigilance
Of the authorities has done a good deal
to keep such illegal sales within narrow
limits. Recently the ministry OF In
struction was informed that q valuable
ancient cross, which had hitherto been
preserved in the Church Of San Fran
cesco d'Atri, had been secretly transport
ed by the rector to Naples. and there sold
to a local dealer in antiquities. AS
result of active inquiries the precious OBJ
ject was discovered and seQueStrated just
as 1t was about to be exported. and the
clerical vender was subsequently arrest
ed and taken before the authorities 10

In another recent instance the superin-
tendent Of monuments at Pisa heard that
an attempt was being made to remove a
famous statue known as the Virgin OF
Agostino di Duccio from the church OF
the Episcopal seminary OF Pontremoll.
With the assistance of the subprefect OF
Pontremoli and the local honorary In
spector of monuments the superintendent
learned that the rector of the church had
concluded contract for the sale of the
statue for $4,000 one of the conditions
being that the original WAS to be replaced
by a facsimile, in the hope that the sub
stitution might pass unnoticed. In this
case also the rector was hailed before
