Professor Severin of the College of
Hawaii, in a series of experiments
during the past three or four months,
has demonstrated ehat the Mally fruit
fly spray has all the merit and effici-
ency which the Australian and South
African entomologists claim for it, but
has also discovered that in Hawaii at
least it has one disadvantage from
which it's discoverers and promoters
claimed it was exempt 1t does at

Professor SEVERN has concluded from
number of incontrovertible tests.

action centers on the main deck. The
realistic setting was a source of in
spiration to the singers and the whole
rehearsal went through as smoothly
as could be desired, with the princi.
pals doing their best to please the
highly critical, though unsolicited,
audience on shore. The fashion in
which the voices carried on the water
was a pleasant surprise to the sing
ers themselves, and any doubt as to
the effectiveness of the novel setting
was dispelled by this test.
One of the subsidiary features OF
the performances will be the water
carnival, which will be so timed that
the lighted and decorated boats vii

The excellent work which Market
Superintendent Starrett's department
Is doing, in finding fair market for
the produce of small farmers on this
and other islands, is growing rapidly
and the increase in business being
done at the old fshmarket office is
proof of the appreciation of the little
producer, who, hitherto, has been
forced to take what he could get for
his output, whether the price were
fair or unfair.
Assistant Superintendent Wall said

sonad spray. They will leave papaia
flowers to gather the brown sugar
frc the leaves and even from the
grass under the trees.
This means that if the Board of
Agriculture finds the spray effective
in eradicating the fly, it will have to
decide between the fruit and the bees.
AS Professor SEVERN says, however,
bees can be moved out of the danger
zone, if they are ever endangered,
while the transfer of fruit trees is out
of the question.

The drift on the 250-lcvel has

running from 40 To 90 per cent in
copper values and carrying a small
amount OF gold and silver. With this
rich streak. which is from eight TO
twelve inches in thickness, is a body
of much lower grade, which will prob
ably average per cent.
This ore has been developed on
the tunnel for about fifty feet and at
last reports was still holding strong
The first carload of the high grade
ore is now being shipped TO the smell
ter and the second carload will be
ready for shipment in few days
While no definite promise can be
made. the present Developments seem
To indicate that it will not be neces-
sary to levy an assessment on the
stock during the present year
The directors hope soon To place
the property on a paying basis and
assure you that the business OF the
