IN FAVOR Of
MACOMB PLAN

President Mott-Smith of the Board
of Health, speaking of General Ma.
combs proposition to fill in an area
between Ala Moana and line TO be
established about 1000 feet makai of
the road, for the formation of n parl,
and boulevard extending from the
Marine camp to Kalihi stream said:
The scheme is truly a great one
and would be of the greatest import
ance as far as the health condition OF
kakaako, Kewalo and the Kalia dis.
trlct are concerned. These districts
have always furnished a very trying
health problem.
II the improvements suggested sea-
ward Of Ala Moana are made there
would be afforded a beautiful recrea-
ton ground and breathing-place for
the people, of inestimable value.
The filling in of the low-lying land
mauka of Ala Moana and the setting
aside of a large tract of land for a
park which could be used as a parade.
ground would also be a splendid thing.
Indeed, General Macomb's whole prop
osition is assured of the hearty CO.
operation of the board of health, and
that means a practicable cooperation
as well as a sympathetic one"

PIONEER AVIATOR.
Continued from page nine.)

hve-the moment of his DEATH
The suggestion that the sudden
collapse of the biplane may possibly
have been due to defects in its fit
tings has been put forward by Mr..
Aveyard, chief engineer to Messrs.
Telge and Schroeder. Mr.. Aveyard
had occasion thoroughly to examine
the biplane at Kiangwan on Friday
afternoon, and having formerly been
engaged in the British army balloon
factory at Aldershot, is able to speak
with some expert knowledge. He
points out that the frame of the BIZ
plane was rather badly damaged in
transit from France, and new parts
had to be obtained. When examining
the machine Mr.. Aveyard particularly
noticed the wires. When the biplane
is in motion the tension upon all it's
parts is so great that only high grade
piano wire will bear the strain. Or
binary steel wire, however, purchaser
in Shanghai, had been used. There
were kinks" plainly to be seen. 1t
seemed to him, also that the wooden
frame work was in places rather
badly fitted together. The sockets
into which the rods, holding together
the planes, are fixed did not appear
sufficiently deep, thus weakening the
joints in part of the machine where
strength is essential, Three possible
explanations thus suggested them
selves. One, that M. WALTON may
have lost control of the descending
plane. Secondly, collapse of the
pieces which had had to be fixed
temporarily to the ends of each
plane. Thirdly, the failure OF the
material used in reftting the ma
chine to stand the pressure. The
strain on the whole frame is at it's
highest when the machine is being
turned.

WHY CENTER
WAS PLUCKED

Acting Superintendent of Public In.
struction Gibson, questioned as to the
matter of Midshipman Center being
"plucked' at Annapolis for deficiency
in English, said:
1T may have been Centers fault
or the trouble may have been with the
High Schools system, though hardly
think that the latter is the case, as
the schools strong point has always
been English, and its weak one, if any,
science.
Center may have been one of those
boys who while more than usually
good at mathematics could never get
on better than fair terms with the
English language. A vice-versa con-
dition of affairs is frequently met with
in our schools"

THE MAHUkONA
HARBOR WORK

Preliminary work on the Mahukona
harbor Improvements is being done by
Governor Frear and he hopes to nave
his plans ready for the approval of
the harbor commission by July 1
There will probably be IN exchange
of land which will do away with the
friction between the government and
the Mahukona Railway Co., and by
virtue of which the company will use
the north side Of the harbor and the
public the south side.
The company plans extensive i'm
provements in and about the harbor
and from the first of July will tackle
the betterment of landing facilities
hand in hand with the government.
At least that is what Governor
Frear confidently hopes.

Washington, d. G.
I have spent this week at the For
estry Bureau gathering the latest in
formation as 20 Uncle Sans wood
lands. The figures are SO great that
the mind cannot comprehend them, and
the only way 10 understand them is BY
simple comparisons. Take, for in
stance. the woods which covered this
country along about 1900, at the time
captain John Smith landed at tho
mouth of the James. They had an area
greater than one-third of all Europe.
and considerably more than one fourth
OF the whole United States, Including
Alaska- The forestry service estimates
that the stand of mcrchantabie timber
then cqualed moro than Ave thousand
billion feet. or enough 10 construct a
board walk a foot wide and an inch
thick. and one billion miles long. That
amount of lumber would have covered

earth to the sun. and sui left enough

land. The total area OF the wood land
was o.0Do.0oo acres and the rncrchan-
what we had at the beginning.
Our Mighty Forests.
Before I tell you what has become
Of this mighty property let me de-
tcribe In Il nutshell just what Il was
tncla Sans forest.rs hava told me
the story. The woods were in five
great tracts. There were the Northern
forest. the southern forest the Central
forest. the Rocky Mountain woods and
tho Pacific woods
The Northern forest was the home
Of the white pine. covering an area
about six times as great as that OF
and containing enough lumber To- have
made belt OF boards an inch thick
and a mile and half wide around
the globe. The Southern forest was
largely Of yellow pine and Of cypress,
but the trees were not SO large. and
In board feet II was just about equal
mat OF the North. The Central forest
which lay between. was nearly all wood
~ had an area much larger than the
woods North and South and the lurn
her within IL was about half as much,
more AZ either OF the others IT would
nave made a band around the earth =,
lesst two miles in width.
And then came the Rocky fountain
forest. composed chiefly of cone-beur-
ing trees. This contained only no.
100000 acres, and tho lumber upon q
was about 400 billion board feet The
Pacific forest was still smaller in aree,
but II had the biggest trees Of the
country. 1t had the Douglas nr, the
redwood and Western yellow pine. 1t

OF native wood in our paper mills
This was mainly spruce and hemlock;
and millions went into notions OF one
kind or other. The tooth pick. for in
stance lie little more than n splinter.
but we have one factory in Maine
which makes haif-biilion of them
every year. We have other places
which turn out clothes pins and
wooden spools by the hundreds OF
millions. Several hundred acres OF
forests are annually burnt up as
matches, and more than 5000 acres
are cut into shoe pegs in the space
or twelve months. And then, there
is the enormous amount that goes
into furniture. and Into carts. car
riases and ears OF all kinds. The
shingles most of which come from
the far. West are 3.70o, 600, 900 in num-
Der, and the laths are four times as
great. There Id a steady increase in
all OF these productS SO that the lum-
Der We are using IL beyond concep-
ton enormous. All told II sells for
something like $1,000, 100000 a year;
and the business Of getting IL out and
putting il OH the. market annually
employs more than 100000 mon, who
receive over sl0o.00o.0o0 in wages
Uncle hnm Warns Against Waste.
This consumption is enough 10
make us pause and wonder where we
shall get our wood for the future
This is one of the warnings of Uncle
Sam. patriarch. who is doing all he
can TO cut down the waste. In the
natloHat~ forests. of which 1 write
more farther on, he has his mon on
the outlook for tres, and he gives
plans for cutting and caring for any
private forests SO that the woods
may last longer, Any man who owns
trees can get plans from the forestry
service as TO how TO treat them, and
the government viii send him experts.
Applications for such assistance have
ALREADY been received from owners OF
100000 acres. and in some places
only the ripe trees are now cut. and
the owners are studying how to keep
out the fires.
1t is estimated BY the Department
of Agriculture that. IL the private
owners Will co cooperate. the forests Of
the southern pine belt can be pa
trolied for cents per acre pr year.
and that the northern forests can be
watched at q cost of ceDN per acre.
while the Rocky Mountains and Pa
cifc coast forests would cost much
less. They estimate that all the for
ests III private hands could be pro-
tected from fires for less than &c.
100000 per year. and thus result In o
saving offar more than that that In
tho value OF the timber. and in ths
preservation of the young trees for
tho future.
Some Lumber Losses.
The government is doing all 1t can
to cut down the waste. it sends out
advice to the lumbermen as to how to
handle tile timber, and to the managers
of tho saw mills as to the best kinds of
machinery. Many Of the railroad ties
are now hewed out with tho axe. II cut
with the saw this alone would save
more than tTo hundred and eighty
million cubic feet OF wood every year.
About two-thirds of the wood In trees

large part OF that intended for mine
