Two Englishmen travelling to Ming

the atmosphere oppressive, asked the

the request with stolid Indifference
so the travellers decided to open the
roof themselves. AS they approached
the city they found that they were
the objects OF considerable attention

DIRECTOR GIFFARD'S LATEST
REPORT ON THE FRUIT FLY

W. M. Giffard who is in charge of
the fruit fly campaign, turned in his
report for January to the Board of
Agriculture his week. This is the
third report of the director and reads
as follows:
Inspection.
Upon request the president author
lied me to engage two more inspec-
tors at the beginning of January and
in consequence I have been able to
thoroughly inspect the areas covered
by our outlying districts l and 2, to
the west, and and 8, to the east of
Honolulu. Last month / reported
these sections as badly infested with
fruit fly, but am now pleased to re-
port that strenuous destruction of in
fected fruits has shown a marked inn
provement in all these four districts.
Continued inspection in all the pre-
met with excellent results. Were it
not for a few scattered residents, who
apparently refuse to cooperate in the
clean culture methods adopted by
your board, and some others who
throw all the burden of the work of
picking and destroying infested fruit
upon the inspectors, the present con-
ditions would be still better than they
are.
On the whole, however, all the dis.
tricts have been fairly we'll cleaned
up of the ripe fruits of the season
Among these are principally the Ha-
waiian orange, Chinese orange, Man
DARN orange, guava, lime, loquat, Car
ambola, fig, green pepper, coffee
berry, Kamani seed, papaya, Eugenia
and others.
The mango season will be on very
shortly, number of trees already
showing large size green fruit. Judg
ing from the Towering and setting Of
the fruit on the mango trees through
out this island I should say that the
crop is going to be an unusually large
one. 1t will be interesting to SCI
whether or not, because of clean cult
ure methods, +he fruit this year will
show diminution of fruit fly attacl
over that of last year.
AS previously stated, were it no
that there are residents scattered
throughout each precinct who cause
continued inspection on their prem
ises, and fail to cooperate, the
chances of re-infestation would b.
minimized With such doubtful con
ditions, however, the re-infestation o
small areas may, during the mango
season, cause altogether unnecessar,
fruit fly conditions in adjacent sec
lions.
Many poor tenants of the smalle
fruit and vegetable gardens hav
given US much extra work because o
their inability to secure and pa.
laborers to gather and destroy guam
titles of infested fruits and vege
tables. In such cases as these I hav
had to double up the inspectors 81
that these might assist such tenant
in picking and carting away quaint
ties of the infested material to tn
incinerator.
Finances and Pay Roll.
Since my last report advices hav
been received from the State Hort
cultural Commissioner of California
that the sum of $4,000 was availabl
from his appropriation for the perio
ending July 1, for the purpose of en-
ploying inspectors.
Your director has satisfactorily al
ranged with Mr.. Weinland, the repre-
sentative of said horticultural con
missioner, a system whereby the e!
penditure of the California funds wi
be kept separate from that made frol
our own appropriation. An accoun

 ''Third-That to protect the progressive democrats of Ohio against the possibility of a traitor among those forty-eight dele gates, it is imperative that no advocate, associate. protector, ally, agent, counsel, attorney, receiver. champion or hireling of Wall street or other predatory in- terest be chosen as delegate.
 "Fourth-That to protect the progressive democrats of Ohio against inc possibility of any traitor among the delegates to the state convention, it is im- perative that none be sent to the state convention to adopt a plat form and nominate candidates for state offices and select dele gates-at-lar9e to the democratic national convention except men who have shown by theeir past record that they are progressive democrats.
 "Fifth-That the recent vic- tory of democratic candidates in certain eastern and middle states normally republican was solely due to the protest of the pro- gressive republicans against the tariff and othsr selfish measures of the stand-patters in that dis trict.
 "Sixth-That the suggestion of the nomination of any other than a known, tried snd true pro- gressive democrat, brings imme- diately to our memory the dis astrous defeat of 1904. when in Ohio Parker lost the state by more than 253, 600; out of the twenty-four congressman we lost twenty, out of 450 county officers we lost 400 and out of the eighty eight tscounties we lost seventy. one.
 "Seventh-That in order and for the purpose of affecting and assuring to the democracy of Ohio and the nation the final con- summation of the principles here set forth, that we do hereby pledge our every effort to that end."
 Joseph H. Harper, secretary of the state central committee, said that there was no intention of indorsing any man for the presidency. This is strictly an anti-Harmon movement, he as- serted, intended to bring about the organization of anti-Harmon democrats throughout the state and to disseminate the informa- tion that there is opposition to his candidacy in Ohio.
 Governor Harmon himself has been unfaithful to the true spirit democracy, declared Durbin.
