Firing at figures representing

the Waianae range, F battery of the
First Field Artillery commanded by
Captain Clarence Deems, Jr., scored
sixteen hits out of twenty shots at the

the day is source of pride not only
TO the members of the battery but to
INSPECTOR General Rell, who was much
pleased with the work of all three

The problem presented to Captain
Deems for solving was to scatter a

security from any attack by artillery.
To do this f battery made a wide de-
tour to a deep gulch at the distance

ing for them. Starrett learned that
the inspectors cut the potatoes to
pieces but failed to find any borers.
Naturally, in the interest of Califor
MIA science, the consignor is expected
to stand the loss.
The third shipment of seventy bags
was peremptorily refused despite the
fact that the destruction of eighty
bags had failed to show any borers
in the previous shipment.
A fourth consignment of thirty-flve
boxes of the best potatoes to be
found on the islands is now on its
way to San Francisco. These potatoes
were carefully inspected by the Off
Gals of the Market Division and were
found to be free from all blemish. If
they are refused entry it will afford
positive proof that the antipathy to
such produce of the Islands on the
part of California is based on some
other things than pests, present or to
come.

Honolulu First-Private Ambition

This might well be adopted as the
motto of the great public welfare or
ganization which will be formed II
the ideas of some of the leading busi-
hess men of the city are approved
by the Honolulu public. If the "Ha-

cease to be, and every resident Of Ho-
nolulu, who is interested enough in
the welfare OF the city in which he
lives to pay a dollar a year, will he
