CHEF IS SCORCHED
tFrom satnrday,s Advertiser.l

Like beacon set upon hill the
handsome residence of Mrs. ]. B. Ath-
eTton on Pacific Heights she'd light
of warning over the city at one o'clock
this morning, when it was burned TO
the ground because there were no facil
tiles nearby with which to fight the
flames when they first started.
The total damage to the house and
outbuildings, including servants quar-
ters, approximates $4,000, but it might
have been much more except for the
hard work of prominent citizens of Ho.
nolulu and the efforts of the firemen
who succeeded in reaching the scene of
the blaze.
Chief Thurston, of the fire depart
ment, was severely burned about the
face and hands in a desperate effort
to save the house, when the fire spread
from the detached servants quarters,
where the flames started, to the main
building. If there had been any IA
cilities for fighting the flames the loss
on the residence could have been
avoided.
Could Not Reach Fire.
When the alarm was given from Nuu-
anu and Pauoa roads the fire engine
company made an attempt to get to the
scene, but this was found to be i'm
possible, and Chief Thurston, Assistant
Chief Deering and half dozen of the
fremen left the machine below the hill
and hurried to the scene.
When they first reached there it was
found that the servants quarters were
burning and the main building threat
ened, but not yet on fire. With only
a couple of hand fire extinguishers,
which they had carried with them, and
a small stream from the garden hose,
they made hard fight to subdue the
flames, and it was at this time that
Chief Thurston received his injuries,
but he stuck to his work until the last
minute.
With a little more water the resi-
dence could have been saved, but there
is no hydrant anywhere near the place
Neither the residence NOR the SER
wants quarters were occupied and it is
supposed that the fire spread from the
ashes of a bonfire made by Japanese
yard boy, who was clearing up the
pldCe anu DuIncu bu6 lldsu uullhB tht
day.
Save Furniture.
As soon as it was seen that there
was no hope of saving the building the
fremen and others present turned in
and stripped the house of as much of
the fine furniture as time would per
nit Altogether most of the moyables
were saved by the efforts of the volun-
teers.
Among those who took leading part
in saving the furniture were Supervisor
Frank J. Kruger, Treasurer Robert w,
Shingle. former Supervisor James
Quinn School Commissioner Stanley
and Col. ]. w. Jones, adiutant general
of the Hawaii National Guard Mr..
Shingle had his full dress fighting
clothes on, while Colonel Jones was in
undress uniform, commonly called
paiamas.
The fire burned until nearly two
o clock this morning, the climax com.
ing about half-past one o clock, when
the roof of the residence fell in From
Kaimulli to Kalihi inquiries poured in
TO the FIRE headquarters, the police and
The Advertiser Office as TO what house
was burning.

Valves His ELECTIONS.

"The area in question is the tract
of government land known generally
as Kaohe, ly ng mauka of the home
steads near Pahoa, on portion of
which the Hawaiian Development Com.
pany is now conducting logging opera
tions under a license from the terri.
torial government, granted in January,
1910.
cit will be recalled that in the
autumn of 1909 the question was be.
fore the board of setting apart this
area as a forest reserve But because
certain of the area proposed to be set
apart was regarded as potentially agri-
cultural land, which after it had been
cIt over was to be subject to home.
steading, the governor thought it in.
advisable to set the land apart as a
forest reserve at that time.
"During the past year the area sup
posed to be most fit for agriculture,
that is, the section nearest the exist
ing Kaohe homesteads above Pahoa
has been logged. AS the land further
mauka is not deemed as suitable for
agricultural use, the governor is now
willing to waive his objections and to
set apart the portion of the tract that
st.ll remains uncut, as n forest reserve.

Little Explored.

"'The proposed Puma forest reserve
consists of but little explored tract
covered by a more or less heavy stand
of Ohia Lehua forest interspersed
with open lava fields, and areas of
scrub growth. The logging operations
of the Hawaiian Development Company
are gradually opening up the section,
but ms vet much of it remains inacces-
sible The valle of this forest is pri-
marily because the wood and timber
from it is of commercial importance
and can he sold. As pointed out by
me in earlier reports, especially in a
report dated June /, 1910, that was
published in the Hawaiian Forester
and Agriculturist for January, 1910,
Vol, VII, No. l. PIP. 2935, the Puma for
est is now at a point of growth where

sidered, believe it was good policy
to grant the logging license now ia

vision of the logging under the board
of agriculture and forestry, and fur.
ther, make it possible for the board

special fund to be used for forest

Enough For Homesteads,

"But now the cutting has gone far
enough so that it is doubtful whether
any more will be suitable for home
steading, and enough has been cut for
homesteading, at least for consider
able period to come.
cit seems best, therefore, to set this
aside as a forest reservation, giving
the board of agriculture supervision of
the cutting, etc. At the same time, in.
cidentally, it will help the board out
financially as it will be entitled to the
revenues. Under present conditions
the board is in need of additional
revenues, although the money received
from this Will not amount to great
deal. -
