broods of beetles will remain in the
bark until I'M March or April. II the
trees die during the minter months
the broods will remain in the bark
until about the first of May.

felled and barked or split into cord
wood during the summer and early
fall, 1t will, as rule attract the bee
ties within radius Of three or four
new center OF infestation and in the
death of a large number OF trees.
Essential Details In Recommended
Methods of Control.
There are certain essential details
i'm the recommended methods of com
batting the southern pine beetle which
must be observed in order to avoid not
only serious mistakes, but possibly ul-
innate failure:
a. The principal Jumps or patches
of dying trees which are actually in
tested by the broods of the destruc-
tive beetle. as indicated by the fading
and dying foliage, or otherwise, should
be located and marked during the
months of November. December. Jan
this work properly experience or spc-
cial instructor should have charge of
the work i'm each important area in
which control work is to be under
taken.
b. The broods of the beetle in the
bark of the main trunks of at least
10 per cent of the infested trees with
in an area of eight or ten square miles
or more must be destroyed before
they begin to emerge.
The broods may be destroyed by one
or more of the following methods:
i. The removal and burning of the
infested bark from the standing trees.
2. The removal and burning of the
infested bark from the trees after
they have been cut down
8 The scorching of the infested
bark, or the burning of the bark and
wood after the trees are cut down
4. The placing of the infested por-
tion Of the trunks in water.
D. The conversion Of the infested
trees into cordwood and the use of the
wood for fuel, or
6. The converting of the infested
trees into lumber or other products
and the burning of the slabs or bark.
The best time to conduct control
operations against the southern pine
beetle is during the period between the
first of November and the first Of
March
Attempts should not be made to con-
troll the beetle during the months of
June, July, August, September, and

ber. Thus other large patches are
killed until nearly all Of the large as
well as the small pine over extensive
areas is dead.
When these centers of infestation
are numerous within the area of a
county or even a larger section of
territory, they can only be compared
with the starting of so many forest
fires, and, as has been demonstrated.
they may lead to far greater destruc-
tion of merchantable pine than has
ever been recorded as resulting from
fire or from storm In the Southern
States.
Requirements for Success In Protect
ing Healthy Pine.
The essential requirements for sue
cess in the protection of the healthy
pine are:
First General information regard
ing the habits OF the beetle and a
knowledge of the methods of control.
Second. Unity of action among own
ers of pine is strictly adhering to the
essential details of authoritative ad-
vice. No one owner can insure the
protection of his timber so long as
there is neglected patch of infesta-
tion within radius of two or three
miles.
The More Important Evidences and
Facts.
|. If in clumps or patches OF pine,
where there is no plain evidence Of Sc
rious injury by fire, the foliage fades
to pale green and changes to yellowish
and pale brown. it indicates that the
: trees are dying from the attack of
the southern pine beetle. and that the
bark on such trees is infested with
the developing broods of minute white
grubs and transforming beetles.
Therefore such trees are a menace to
the living trees.
=. If the trees have reddish brown
and partially fallen foliage, or If all
of the foliage has fallen it indicates
that the broods of beetles have emerg
ed and that the trees are no longer n
menace to the living tres.
3. If the trees die during the period
between the first OF March and the
first of October, they will be aban-
doned by the broods of beetles within
a few weeks after the foliage begins
to fade.
4. If the trees begin to die during
the period between the first of Oc-
tober and the first of December the

Investigations have shown that a
patch of dying pine anywhere in the
Southern States is n menace to the
healthy pine within a radius of three
or four miles. The broods of the
southern pine beetle developing in the
bark OF the trees of one such center of
infestation may swarm in any direc-
tion and settle in the healthy tim

MAGOON BLOCK
PLAYERS CAUGHT

The Magoon block gamblers were
successfully run to earth on Sunday
last by the detective force, despite the
precautions which this gang had taken
to prevent capture. For months past
the ardent wooers of Dame Fortune
have played craps almost without res
traint, for their lookout men were
posted at various points of vantage
and generally gave timely warning of
the approach of the enemy, as typified
by the detectives. However, the po-
lice were able to secure the services
of one of their number, a woman NAM
ed Hookana, who was pressed into SER
vice and was present at Sundays
game. When play was at its height
the detectives swooped down on the
gang, but only three were captured,
the rest escaping for the time being.
| Warrants were sworn to, however, and
fourteen others were arrested, one
being apprehended yesterday morning.
Several of the bunch were old Of
tenders, one being particularly wanted
by the police. He is a Canadian nam
ed Norman Fraser. Judge w. B.
Lymer fined him $40 and costs, the
rest being let off with fines of five
and seven dollars respectively, to
which, of course, costs were added.
The success of the police tactics in
this instance will probably mean that
! the Magoon block will be cleared Of
gamblers, for the vigilance of the
police will not be relaxed yet a while.
Other raids will probably be made up
on other gangs just as notorious as
the Magoon block gang.

the departure of the Sierra for San
Francisco and to bid adieux to the
passengers leaving Honolulu. Alto

but of these As were in the steerage'
The cabin passengers numbered 81,
and included many tourists returning
to the States after short stays in the
islands. A.. B. Arleigh, w. o. Smith
and C. B. Wells were about the
best-known locally of departing pas

outgoing passenger who proceeds to
San Francisco to be married. Low
rey's mother went over to the coast on
the last trip of the Sierra and was

TWO OLD-TIMERS
ON THE SIERRA

On board the Sierra are two of the
oldest shipping employees who visit
Honolulu at the present time, old only
in the length of time they have been
visiting the islands. They are Cap
tain II. c. Houdlette and Purser T. c.
Smith It is twenty-six years since
Captain Houdlette first visited Homo
lulu and twenty-three years since Pur-
ser Smith first saw Diamond Head.
Ever since the Sierra has been on the
Frisco run Purser Smith has had con-
troll of this department and it is safe
to say that he will for many years yet
to come preside over the department
which has such close relations with
the passengers.
It was in 1888 that Purser Smith,
Papa" Smith, as he is affectionately
termed, first joined the Oceanic Steam
ship Company, then trading from Aus
tralia to San Francisco via Honolulu,
and on that run he served in the Mari
posa, Zealandia and Alameda, after
wards joining the Sierra. For twelve
and a half years Purser Smith made
on an average five and half trips a
year to Honolulu, then for eleven
years he has made II IL visits per
year, total of 259 visits to this port,
land I have not been killed yet" he
laughingly remarked yesterday morn
ing.
The Alameda and the Mariposa were
put on the run in 1883 and were then
the two finest boats on the Pacific, "as
they are today he added. "They are
magnificent boats. The Alameda was
sold last year and is now engaged on
the Seattle-Skagway run, while the
Mariposa is running between Tahiti
and San Francisco, making round
trip about every seven weeks. When
the Sierra commenced the Honolulu
San Francisco run she was on her dist
voyage and she is now on her 55th,
having made fifteen trips between the
Coast and the islands. On March 25th
next she will have completed one year
on the run"
Purser Smith is just as hale and
hearty now as he was when he COM
menced the run across the Pacific and
he looks likely to out-last many a
younger man. Lately he has not had
very good health, but that was simply
due to a bad attack of the grippe,
which he has since mastered. He is
one of the most popular of all pursers
whiting Honolulu, which is saying
something when one remembers how
many popular pursers call at this port.
