their sorrow in many instances, for they
would 60 and get in debt, trusting to his
honesty to keep an account and the first
they would know he would bring oil

When Col. Goldthwait was at Fort
Pownal the Revolutionary war was agi-

looked upon the settlers as rebels. They
on the other hand looked upon him as

Aim OSt
Wrecked
Boat Belonging to Raymond Ranch
Has Narrow Escape.

On the last trip of the "Makena"
from Honolulu, orders were given
for the boat to call at Kahoolawe
and pick up a pot for the ranch.
The little vessel was taken in as
close as she could go and the pot
rolled down the steep badk. There
is small drop and when the pot
went over this it raised a cloud of
dust that obscured things from
those on shore. When the dust
cleared away it was seen that the
wind had caught the Makena broad
side Oh and that she was fast being
swept out to sea with only one man
on her, who did not know what TO
do.
The anchor which was down
would not hold her and with high
sea running the dingey was pushed
out from the shore and the launch
reached just as she was about to
surge out into the full force of the
big rollers that were coming bound
ing toward the shore. The weather
was SO bad that she was compelled
to stay there most of the day before
venturing outside into the channel.
Even then some of the crew did not
like to make the trip as they were
afraid of the engines breaking down.
Plans are now under way for the
building of another vessel to run
meat from the Raymond ranch to
Honolulu which will be much larger
than the Makena. The new vessel
which is to be built by John Hughes
is to be about the same size as the
Kaena and will have all the sampan
lines eliminated. Star.
In an interview with DR.. Ray
mond, who is now on Maui we
were informed that there is abso-
lutely no truth in the above, and
that the whole story originated in
the mind of some knocker in Homo
lulu.

Death From Exposure.

Joe Fernandez, the aged Portu-
guese, who wandered away from his
home in Kula, about two weeks ago,
was found last Tuesday in one of
the many small gulches which
abound in that district. The bank
of the gulch shows that the old
man fell into it, and though he
could not get out, it does not seem
that he was badly hurt. His tobacco
has been found at his side, and
number of burnt matches were ly-
ing about, showing that he had
smoked while lying there.
The theory Of the police is that
the exposure while lying there, to-
gether with the lack of nourishment
was the cause of death.

Silver Mine on Maui.

Last Saturday afternoon, while a
gang of road men under George
Weight were excavating just off the
road by the slaughterhouse, they
came upon a small cache of silver
coins. A large amount of the dirt
had been carted away before the
coins we're discovered. Altogether,
eight American half dollars were
picked up, the dates ranging from
1861 to 1875. This find is a very
unusual one, as at the time when
coins of these dates were in general
circulation, very little American
money was to be found in Hawaii

Chamber Of
Commerce
At a Meeting Wednesday Afternoon the
Fruit Fly Situation Was Discussed.

The matter of fighting the fruit
fly on Maui was discussed at a
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce this week, and the report Of
the committee in charge of the work
here was read by chairman Williams.
So far the only district on Maui
where the pest has made its appear
ance is in Wailuku. In the mean
time the quarantine regulations are
being strictly enforced.
Mr. Hugh Howell presented map
of the Kihei harbor for the inspec-
ton of the members, and also told
of his findings as regards the most
suitable location for ships landing.
He recommends that the new wharf
be built at a point about half mile
nearer Wailuku than is the present
landing. His contention is that a
wharf ut this point will have a
much better foundation, necessitate
a lesser expenditure OF money, and
be more convenient for travel.
The Chamber unanimously en-
dorsed Mr.. Howell's recommends
ton, and the secretary was in
structed to so notify the Harbor
Commission.
Mr.. Baldwin stated that it was
necessary for the Harbor Commits
sion to specify where they intended
to build the wharf, before the pro-
perty could be decided to the Terri
tory, as the property the presen,
landing belonged to the II. P. Bald
win Co., Ltd, while the new sitt
recommended by Mr.. Howell be-
longed to the H. G. & S. Co.
From correspondence read it seems
that the Harbor Commission vii
put the wharf wherever the people
of Maui want it, so now there seems
no reason for any further delay.
A petition was presented for the
endorsement of the Chamber, pray,

Will the Race
Die Out?
Prophecy Of Medical Professor That
Is Not Likely to Be Fulfilled.

Reversing the thesis of Malthus,
that population in all times has
tended to outgrow subsistence, DR..
William Charles White, professor Of
medicine in the University of Pitts
burg, confesses his belief that the
human race gradually will extin-
guish itself
In a lecture at Lehigh University
on the Conservation of Children, !"
DR.. White said: Among the
prominent sources of loss are the
respiratory diseases, which cause SO
much sickness ard death. Most of
these diseases are the result of low
resistance in children, caused by
poor food and poor air, in addition
to the sources of infection spread by
coughing, sneezing or splitting"
The ravages of tuberculosis are,
of course, well known, but the
m ,vement against the disease which
has been under way during the last
few years gives promise that within
short time it will be we'll under
control. Certainly fewer deaths
from this source are recorded now
than was the case some years ago
How Professor White can believe
that the race will extinguish itself,
in view Of the well. established fact
that the death rate in civilized
countries is rapidly falling and that
the average age of mankind has in
creased more than 10 per cent in
the last half century. it is difficult
to see. That there has been gen.
eral advance in national and civic
cleanliness and hygiene, together
with increasing successful provision
for the sick and for old age, is uni
versally known, and the results can
not but operate against the extin-
guishment of which Professor White
speaks.
The health of people is very
largely a matter of economies and
environment. The comparatively
short lives of the very poor are due
to the insanitary conditions of the
slums in which many of them are
compelled to dwell. But society is
surely, if slowly, improving these
conditions, and with the i'm
provement is coming a longer lease
of life.
| Together with the decreasing
death rate there is to be considered
the diminishing birth rate as fur
ther answer to Professor White.
pessimistic prediction. Although
on the surface the decrease of popu.
lation, proportionately, may seen
to be an economic question, at bot.
tom it is intellectual and esthetic
According as the desire to rise il
the industrial, intellectual or esthet
ic world increases, the birth rat'
diminishes.
1t is coming about, therefore
that not only do people nowaday
} live longer than they used to, bu
that they enjoy life more. Unde
such conditions the race is in littl
danger of extinction.

Chief Forester HOSmer Tells Of the
Work Of Planting Trees.

day, Chief Forester Hosmer has the
following to say regarding tree
planting on Maui:
AT Wailuku | arranged with H.
B. Penhallow, manager of the Wal
luku Sugar Company, details in re-
gard to the planting of a portion of
the government land of Polipoli, set
apart last year as a part of the West
Maui forest reserve. | also had
general look at the planting which
the Wailuku Sugar Company has
been carrying on on its private lands
on the lower slopes of the hills above
its cane fields, backssof Wailuku. The
notable thing here is the excellent
start which eth ironwood and eu-
calyptus seedlings, planted out over
year ago, are making on the base,
eroding slopes, especially on the
south side of lao Valley. Not only
are the little trees doing well but
small as they are, leaves and forest
litter are already beginning to col
lect under them helping to hold the
soil in the little gullies and check
the damage from wash. This is
work of high value which cannot
but repay the plantation company
in years to come.
In addition to the strictly pro-
tective belts, Mr.. Penhallow is also
doing considerable planting of alga-
roba and eucalyptus with the object
of securing a fuel wood supply for
the plantation. In all II, 400 trees
were planted in 1911.
Next l spent several days in the
Koolau district carefully going over
the forest planting work now in
progress along the ditch systems
controlled by the Alexander q Bald
win interests. This planting, for
the most part on government land
is being done jointly by the Hawai-
ian Commercial d Sugar Company
and the Maui Agricultural Com
pany, under a plan drawn up by Inc
last autumn. The general purpose
of the planting is to establish shelter
belts to assist in the return of the
native forest on areas where large
numbers of trees died a few years
since and to start stands of thrifty
trees in places now without useful
vegetation.
1t is encouraging to note that
the naivte Hawaiian forest shows in.
dication of recovery. There has ap.
parently been no setback since the
trees started to grow again and un-
dergrowth of certain kinds is con.
siderably more in evidence now than
it was a year ago when | visited
Koolau.
