President w. NJ. Gfard, Of the
board OF agriculture and forestry,
presented his seventh monthly re-
port as director of the fruitliy con-
uol, being that for the month OF
May, to the commissioners at their
meeting yesterday. 1t is as follows:
1t is quite fortunate that the quar-
antined area in Honolulu and suburbs
has been kept fairly clear of all ripe
and overripe fruit than the mango,
of which latter there is an unprec-
edented crop Our small staff of in
spectors has been kept busy in an
almost futile endeaver to keep all
grounds clear of this fruit, the tree
OF which is now in full bearing. 1t
takes but a glance at the number and
fruiting conditions of these scattered
trees to realize the stupendous work
of efficiently gathering and destroy
ing a fruit which during the season
is continuously falling from all these
large trees day and night. 1t is al
most unnecessary to say that with
such immense crops of mangoes ex-
tending over a period of three months
or more perfect work in gathering
and destroying these cannot be eX-
pected, more particularly under the
peculiar local conditions which exist
in the area of approximately $4,000
acres under quarantine between Kai-
muh and Moanalua, To properly
cone with such conditions, it would
take a force ten times as large ana
even then the work would be partic'
ularly ineffective unless very much
larger proportion of householders co
operated. OF course, there are many
who keep their grounds fairly free
of fallen mangoes, but the large ma
jority of residents, and particularly
those. who can i'll afford to employ
a yard boy, leave the gathering OF
tits fruit to our inspectors and such
laborers as we are now forced to
employ at odd times to help out the
situation Even where mangoes are
not used by householders, there are
Irt few, including the Weather class
who voluntarily strip the trees OF
care to have this done for them
Again there are a large number OF
vacant lots containing mango trees
the owners or controllers of which
it is difficult to locate, In the major
ity of such instances as these we vii
lie Obliged to strip and gather the
fruit ourselves, as well as cart the
same to the incinerator, if there II

When lie pans Tor the construction
of the colossal wolH OF the Panama
Canal were first mace public few per-
sons really appreciated the immensely
of the undertaking. The technical
terms used to express the engineering
features OF the work tended to further
mystify the nature of the enterprise
so that the average mind had ade-
quate conception of the project. The
consequence was that a comparatively
small number of persons took any in
terest in the Canal, as it was regarded
as an impossible proposition and a
waste of money. Later, as the pans
began to take shape, the number Of
visitors to the Lsthmus increased I'M

cided to erect two comfortable hotels

About thirty-oight thoraand men are
at work al present, with a pay roll
of $1,5OO,OoO per month. 1t is ex-
rected that the cost of the Canal viii
be about $l40OO,OOO per mile. From
these figures the reader can readily
understand the colossal work of the
Isthmian Canal Commission
The engineers all declare that ships
will pass through the waterway dur
ing the latter part of next year, al
though the official opening viii not
take place until 1915. Much specula-
ton is INDUCED in as to what ship
will pass through first, ard it is gener-
ally supposed by those on the Lsthmus
that one of the Panama railroad steam
ers will make the trial trip in oroer
to test the working of the gates, locks,
etc, and that the battleship Oregon
will be the leader of the official open
ing. 1t will De remembered that her
long trip around The Horn" during
the Spanish-American War first sug-
gested to the minds OF the officials at
Washington the need of this great
waterway now rapidly nearing COM
pletion.
