DO smelted. The Denver & New Or
leans Railroad was projected by Mr..
Moffat and associates in 1881, its OBJ
ject being to give Colorado an out
let to the Gulf. It was built from
Denver to Pueblo, and then General
Dodge and others Joined with the
Moffat organization and completed
the line to Fort Worth. 1t was un-
der Mr.. Moffats management that the
Denver & Rio Grande Railway,
which with its main line and divis-
ions has opened up all of the south
western quarter of Colorado, was
placed upon paying basis and or
der was brought out of chaos. He
was made president in February,
1885, and occupied that position I'M
til the autumn of 1891, the company
having shortly before passed out of
the hands of a receiver. During mis-
presidency the road was practically
rebuilt, and the company was firmly
established on sound financial bas

But Mr.. Moffat's greatest railroad
triumph, and one which he never
saw finished, was the building of the

men, while Tom Gay was surround
ed by all the walters, bell-boys and
stewards that the Fifth Avenue and
other large hotels could spare.
He treated Gay as his guest
throughout the trip, and when he
came back explained that it was not
a freak on his part to take the head
waiter, but simply a recognition Of
his worth as a Woodworking industri-

JUDGE K|NGSBURY
FOUND MISTAKEN

In an opinion by Chief Justice Rob
ertson, the Supreme Court grants the
motion of defendant to quash the
writ of error in the the case of Ane
Kaehu against Meeau Namealoha. 1t
is an ejectment case in the second
circuit court The syllabus declares;
"a writ of error does not lie to
decision of a circuit court in a case
tried without a jury where final judg-
ment has not been entered in the
case"
When Judge Kingsbury had de-
cided that the plaintiff and defend
ant were tenants in common, he de-
clined to enter a form of judgment
submitted to him by counsel for the
plaintiff on the ground that on Octo'
Der II, 1910, he rendered final judg-
ment, which was Immediately filed
and entered in the Judgment book.
The Supreme Court holds that final
Judgment was not answered, and
says that upon entry Of the judgment
in the original case, the plaintiff, il
so advised, may have her writ OF
error.
Douthitt & Cooke, for the motion
It. M. Harrison contra.
A decision Of the Supreme Court
by Justice Perry, in the case of James
Cornwell and others against Wailuku
Sugar Company, Ltd, denies the mo
ton of defendant to dismiss the wri
of error. The original action was one
of trespass and judgment for defend
ant was, given with costs in the sc
ond circuit at Waikiki. In the syl
labus the law of the case is thu
stated:
The mere payment of the costs b.
an unsuccessful plaintiff in an acton
of trespass is not a waiver of tn
right to prosecute a writ OF erro
from the judgment entered on tn
merits"

Divide and far out in the Middle
Park. Thus the mountains were con-
quered and thus the hardest part of
the work was done. The rest of the
line to Salt Lake City lies down wa
tercourses and the construction IS
comparatively simple. To date abou.
two hundred and fifty miles of the
road is complete. One practical rail
way-builder recently declared that
the first FIVE miles out of Denver
could not have cost less than &c.,
900 a mile, and the next thirty-five
miles must have cost 100000 a mile
In order to surmount some of the
obstacles encountered it was neces-
sary to blow up small mountains and
to tunnel and make open cuts
through others, here to fill in deep
ravines and there to cross them by
bridges. On the seventy-seven miles
from Denver to Arrowhead there are
' thirtyfour tunnels. In one stretch

tunnels through solid granite. Many
of the tunnels contain curves and

But this extraordinary man" new
er forgot his humble origin, or lost
the democratic freedom of his
heart" and he once attracted much
attention by taking the head waiter
of the old Fifth Avenue Hotel on a
trip to Europe.
1t was in July, 1898. His father
had known Tom Gay as a bell-boy
in the hotel and David Moffat had
watched him rise till he became
head waiter. One day he went there
and saw him looking run down il
health.
"Pm going to Europe" he said %,

do you mean it?" faltered Ton
Gay.
Certainly, ! mean It," answered
his patron. 'T want you to CO."

J scented at the dock. The man!

Honolulu, May 20, 1911.


Editor Star: The wild flowers Of
the Hawaiian Islands are beautiful
beyond description, but sad to say,
many of them will never again pc
seen here, having become extinct.
Many of the trees, too, are very fine,
while their flowers are exquisitely
beautiful.
Some of these flowers have very
strange properties, or habits. For
instance, the flower of the Hau tree
lasts but a single day, opening at
sunrise and closing at sunset.
This flower, I should say, is one OF
the most beautiful to be found here
and blooms, or blossoms, most pro-
fusely. The Hauhile is another
flower that lasts but a day, and what
is more strange, changes color dur
ing the day. The Koali-Awahu IS
another beautiful flower and it
changes from purple to pink during
the day.
Some of these flowers, the Uala
among the number, are said to be p
superior article of food, while the
berry of many of them is a favorite
food of the wild fowl. Other flowers,
such as the Nehe, the leaves of which
are sometimes used to make tea.
Some of these flowers are noted for
the beauty of their leaves, and others
for the delicate transparency of the
flowers and for the graceful intiores'
cence of the foliage.
Some of these flowers, such as the
PooIanne, bloom only in April and
May, but the greater number seem
to bloom nearly the entire year.
Some of the vines are very pro
life, and one of them is so mucf
so as to spread over an entire acre
of ground.
There is another known as the fly
catcher, and still another that lure
unsuspecting insects to destruction
by a peculiar odor and light. Ar
other blooms but a single hour.
Are Becoming Extinct.
But it is not of the strange proper
ties or even of the beauty of thes
flowers that wish to speak so niue
as the fact that so many of the mos
beautiful of them are becoming eI
tinct. and are fast disappearing, an
I would like to ask if something cal
not be done to prevent it.
Surely there must be some on
here some lover of the rare plant
like Mr.. G. Wilder or Mr.. S. n

WILD FLOWERS or HAWAII
WHICH ARE BECOMING EXTINCT

Damon, who will make an effort TO
save and preserve these beautifui
plants. towering trees, shrubs, and
vines from extinction.
For if nothing is done, but few of
the four hundred varieties said to
have flourished here some years ago,
will remain.
Botanical Garden Needed.
What is needed of course, is a
botanical garden, but whether this
can be secured is, perhaps, ques.
ton, but if a united effort is made
to get it, there is no telling what
may be done.
Certainly some such thing is badly
needed, which would serve a double
purpose, by enhancing the beauty of
the city and at the same saving these
rare plants from destruction. It is
not supposed, of course, that all 0f
the various flowers of the Islands
could be grown in botanical garden
but as it is mostly the flowers that
grow in the low attitudes that arc
disappearing, great many of then
could be saved.
Ainahau Would Die.
Speaking of botanical gardens re
minds me of Ainahau, which is, will
its hosts of rare plants and immense
varieties of beautiful flowers enough
J almost to complete a botanical gar
den in itself. And it Is Thousand
pities that the government Officials
cannot see their way to accept tina
, splendid gift of Governor Cleghorn.
1t is also a thousand pities tina
some way cannot be found to over
come the objections to accepting il
+ the main being, I understand, tn
l specified time of the closing hour
, Another reason for refusing it, I ur
derstand, is the cost of keeping 1t Ut
= but which is very poor reason, o
s so it seems to me.
n This might be a good reason if thi
L city was destined to remain as it i
but there is every indication that
will grow enormously in the near +,
r ture and continue to grow even afte
e This garden, I should say, would b
n large enough to grow all the variol
It varieties of flowers Indigenous
< these Islands that are left, or all
d those that grow at low attitudes, ar
l. if this could be arranged, what a go
send this would be, not alone for u
e but also for all the generations of Il
S, future. Very truly yours.

great insurance companies, the |
owner of vast, unusually productive
mines, and head of Colorados largest
bank. And, IF the greatness of Den
yer can be attributed to any one |
man." that man. so the Boston Tran
script affirms, was Moffat.
He it was who put the city of Den
yer on the railroad map; he it was
who sent the first trunk line through |
its territory; he it was who always
responded with his money and time
when Denver asked for his services.
In all Colorado, in fact, he was
known and appreciated as a builder
and a constructionist; no single indi-
vidual did so much for the develop
ment of the natural resources and
for the material advancement in all
directions of the State as did Mr..
Moffat Railroads, banks, and produc-
tive mines will be his monuments.
] Though Moffat was a man of many
diverse parts, posterity will always
know him as a railway-builder.
He was actively identified with
the construction of every road in
Colorado, except the extensions of
lines from the East, and was the g.
nancial genius of all of those with
which he was connected. Along IN
1870 when the Union Pacific decid-
ed to leave Denver off the map and
the Kansas City directors contem-
plated turning their line to the south
west from its terminus in western
Kansas, young Moffat, then less than
thirty years of age, interviewed.
He decided to build a road all MINI
self. This he did, with the result
that his locomotive was the first to
cross the Continental Divide and en-
ter the Utah Basin. This locomo-
tive, by the way, had been bought
from the Union Pacific and rechrist-
ened the D. H. Moffat
Shortly afterward he tried to in
duce the directors of the Denver and
Rio Grande Railway to run branch
} from their main line up the Rio
: Grande River, through Wagon
) Wheel Gay to Creole, then a promis-
ing silver camp; but they told him
that it would not pay. So he built
it himself, demonstrated the sound
ness of his judgment, and afterward
sold it to the Rio Grande Company
. In connection with other Denver
+ men, he built the first railroad into
l the mming-camp of Leadville. The
+ Denver & South Park Railroad fol
l lowed up the narrow winding canon
+ of the Platte River, under the most
V complicated engineering difficulties
+ but when completed it brought the
n rich ores Of Leadville to Denver TO

Governor-elect John w. Tener.
"The greatest play ever saw" said
he, took place in an amateur game
on town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on wet field and an
outfielder who wore derby hat went
after a high fly. He came to little
pond and taking his eye off the ball
made a jump to cross 1t. AS he was
leaping the ball struck him on the
head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
ner was out and the fielder had not
