THE TIPPING BILL.

1t does not take a very astute mind
to see that the bill introduced at
Trenton for the regulation of the
tipping system now in vogue in hotels,
restaurants and other places, far from
doing away with the evil, in fact
really legalize it. To say that no one
shall charge more than" twenty cents
for serving a meal, or more than"
five cents for a shave, is making it
legal to add this extra charge where
the right did not previously exist. 1t
looks like it might be an effort to
legalize a fraud and an imposition.
which the American people are so re-
luctantly standing for The man who
has introduced this bill should be
treated with at least degree of levity,
for surely he did not mean it. 1t
would be funny if it became law, of
which, happily, there is little danger

My Dear Mr. Logan
I have perused the copies of the
"Palisadian" with unusual pleasure and
real profit In fact, [ think the paper
is understanding absolutely diff
ferent from anything | ever came
across. 1t is nearer my ideal of a
local newsy paper, than the usual vii
lage paper. Its cleanness, its whole
some tone, its real human character
giving one a complete idea of all that
is of Importance in the locality and
yet not offensive to the refner tastes.
Such a paper is calculated to do a
great deal of good in the social and
moral uplift of the community.
1t combines the qualities of con
viction without giving offense to those
who may differ, unless they are of the
thinest skin, with sense OF the hui
morous that is CHEEKY.
| wish you the greatest success in
carrying it forward.
| think for a community like Pail
SADIE, such paper can do more than
any other agency in determining the
character of the place, and carried on
along the lines stated will help make
Palisade an ideal residential suburb of
the City

ton and sympathy
Cordially yours,

HAWAII NEW ERA
Of IRRIGATION

|, Pacific Monthly: It is reported
that non-irrigated sugar-cane lands OF
Hawaii yield from four to four and
one-half tons per acre, while the
same land under irrigation will pro.
duce seven to eight tons of sugar
cane per acre. The demonstration
of this fact has brought a new era
of irrigation to the island, since q
report of the Conservation Commit
tee shows that there are large avail
able water resources, both for irrl-
cation and power The main ditch
Of one of these large new irrigation
SYSTEMS is almost twenty-five miles
long, more than ten miles of this
waterway being tunneled through
mountains. There is also more
than a mile of fumes. is stated
that this ditch and the two
other large ones of the island use
only one-fourth of the water that can
be distributed on the sugar planta-
tions.
Still more significant of the new
irrigation era is the completion of Il
number of electric pumping plants.
In some places the water is taken
from artesian wells, and at other
points the electric power lifts the
water from streams to higher levels.
One of these pumps is to be oper-
ated by a 1000 horsepower motor,
and it's capacity is eight million gal
Ions of water every twenty-four
Nor is al of the water to be. used on
sugar plantations. For example, =
forty horsepower motor will drive n
centrifugal pump that will lift wator
to two hundred acres of land that is
to be devoted to alfalfa and other
forage crops.

HOSMER ON TREE PLANTING
AND OTHER FORESTRY MATTERS

Tree planting and other foresta-
ton matters were discussed at some
length in the report made by For
ester Hosmer to the Board of Agri-
culture and Forestry, from which the
following is taken
Tree Planting.
Following an official call for ten
ders for planting an area of govern
ment land on the Kohala mountain,
above Waimea village, Kohala, Ha-
wall, contract has been entered
into with Mr.. A. w. Carter. The
planting is to be carried out in ac-
cordance with a planting plan drawn
up by this division last year. The
object is to replace a stand of forest
on section of the Kohala mountain
from which water is obtained for
use on the plains below. To attend
to the details Of this matter and
get the work actually started, Mr.
Haughs weht over to Hawaii and
was at Waimea during, the first ten
DAYS of April. The money for this
planting comes from a special allot-
\ment made from the conservation
fund in 1910.
The other government forest plant
ing project authorized out of this
special allotment, the plating ot
the portion of the Pupukea Forest
Reserve, Oahu, formerly known as
water Reserve c." is also progress
ing favorably. An examination re-
Gently made of the trees planted
last year showed that approximately
81 per cent of those set out have now
reached the height of three feet
the height required before the Sec
ond installment of the contract
price could be paid the contractor.
This young forest will in a short
time now make a marked difference
in the appearance of the upper lands
at Pupukea. 1t cannot fail to be Of
benefit to that section of the island
in a number of ways. -
Forest Fires.
On April 1 a forest fire at the
head Of Manoa valley gave the staff
of the Division of Forestry brisk
fight for few hours until it was got
under control. The fire escaped
from Chinese laborers who were
burning brush above Mr.. James
Boyd's place, and ran up the steep
ridge into a mass of Staghorn fern
under an open stand of Koa trees.
Fortunately, members Of the staff,
with the president of the board,
happened to be in Manoa valley
when the fire was discovered, SO
that no time was lost. Several Ia
borers were secured locally who got
the fire under control. Later in the
evening, thanks to the courtesy OF
Sheriff Jarrett, a gang of prisoners
was sent up the valley. These men
continued to patrol the burned area
during the night. It is estimated
that the area burned over was be
