breeze brought several thousand peo-
pie out to- st. Mary's cemetery on
Memorial Day to assist at the open
air Mass and to decorate with flowers
and wreaths the graves of the soldier
dead and plant flowers at the graves
of their own loved ones.

ton of the knights of Columbus. C.
Paul Tracy, lecturer of the Hennepin
council, had general charge of the ar
rangements. A group of about 100
boys from the Catholic Orphan Asylum
dressed in white and each bearing a
small United States flag led the pro-
cession to the altar. They, with about
thirty members of the Rawlins post,
G. A. R., occupied seats in front of the
altar which was erected under large
shade tree. A choir from st. Charles
church sang the responses to the Mass
More than hundred members of the

bus were in the line of march led by
G. Roy Hill as standard bearer.

| knoll overlooking the cemetery. About
it gathered fully 1000 people who, with
barred heads, knelt on the grass during
the solemn ceremony. The Mass wa.
celebrated by Rev. P. J. O'Connor
chaplain of the cemetery. Very Rev

PETER McD0NoUGH
Died Last Sunday at the Age Of Ono
Hundred Years.

Staying death until he had rounded
out 100 years of life, Peter McDon-
ough, father Of P. E. McDonough, 1872
East Twenty fourth street, died early
last Sunday. During his declining
years his last and only desire was to
live until June, 1917, the month in
which he was born century ago, and
he feebly chung to life until the new
month was ushered in. June / was
thought to have been his birthday,
though the centenarian always cele-
brated on the oath day, that being the
anniversary of his baptism. Death
was caused by infrmities due to old
age. Funeral services were conducted
at st. Stephens church Tuesday at Il
a. m.
An unusual series of events marked
Mr.. McDonough's life. Two years ago
he and his wife celebrated their six
ty-seventh wedding anniversary, and
at that time they were believed to
have been the oldest married couple
in Minneapolis. Mrs. McDonough, who
! was ten years younger than her hus-
band, died last August.
Both retained their faculties to an
unusual degree. Before her death Mr..
McDonough read the newspapers to
| his wife every day, and he kept well
in touch with current affairs. Until
the last few years the aged couple
attended mass regularly, and as long
as they were able. walked to services
at st. Stephens church.
Mr.. McDonough had a remarkably
good memory, and recalled incidents
that occurred more than ninety years
ago. He was married Jan. 20, 1S45
and four years later Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Donough settled in Ottawa, Canada
In 1880 they moved to s.hakopee, Scott
county, and two ye ars later came to
Minneapolis, living here about a third
of a century. Mr.. McDonough is sur
Vived by two sons, three daughters
nine grandchildren and twenty-seven

TIE Fight AGAINST THE FRUIT FLY

Clean culture was the only remedy immcdi-
ately available at the opening Of the campaign
against the Mediterranean fruit fly here, and
although its limitations were acknowledged, its
value has been made apparent by reports that
have been published Of dminution of the pest.
and forestry, however, was not going to take any
chances, with half-measures of the destruction
OF the entire fruit industry of the islands, and he
was supported by the board in promptly taking
steps to procure, if possible a natural enemy of
the pest Professor Silyestri of Italy, an emf
nent ent0mologist, was engaged by cable about
a year ago to go to Africa in search of a parasite
of the fruit fly believed TO have its habitat some
where in the dark continent, once so-calIed. As
stated in Yesterdays Star Bulletin, the special
envoy of the board has succeeded in his quest so
that at an early day the parasite may be expect
ed on the ground here doing it's work. Parast-
ism, or the science of employing natural enemies
of pests for their eradication, or at least their
control, is recognized and has been proved to be
one of the most useful means of protection to ag-
riculture. One of the latest series of proofs in
this connection has appeared in the reports of
sugar plantations lately summarized in this pa
per, showing that the tachinid fly employed to
combat the caneborer is performing its task in
great shape On estate where introduced it is
started to be. propagating ITSELF with great "a
pidity while the pest it fighs'is as rapidly dis
appearing. The older services of he ladybrd in
getting away with insect blights are familiar to
everybody. 1t is to be hoped that Professor Sill
vestri's enemy of the fruit fly may be as success
fully established as any Of its allies thereby put
ting hope asain into the hearts of all cultivators
OF fruit in these islands.

lowing: 4= 7-..>% .,
For years past there have been
complaints, many of them doubtless
prejudiced, that insurance rates in the
territory, particularly fire insurance,
need revision and that the fire sched-
ule should be revised downward. The
public has patiently accepted the as
surance of the underwriters board
that rates would presently be lowered
and the reasons why the cut has not
come sooner have been many and ex-
cellent. At the same time, the public
is FESTIVE under the present lack OF
adequate supervision, and some such
action as the establishment of an in
surance department is inevitable
and it is right"

Now Honolulu is small, as cities go,

ocean travel in these days is shown by

ing the information that there is to be no imine-

unmitigated folly on the part of the new admin

is not built on the plan Of firing public officer
simply because that officer is not Democrat.
The Democratic candidates are not lacking in
many qualifications, but none of them nor any
Democrat the territory can put forward should

run-off from de-fOrcsted and barren regions very
rapid, with resulting heavy erosion and damage
to agricultural lands and property. Further,
there are very few natural storage sites in the
territory, and the rInOff of barren regions may
be likenpd to the run-Otf from arOOf without gut
tiers or ranspouts. In great many locations
porous or fissured conditions of the drainage
areas result in light surface run-off and a
heavy absorption Of the rainfall This water
may sometimes be picked up by water tunnels or
wells, but as rule it appears in springs near or
below sea level The comparative cost of irri-
eating by pumping against the cost Of surface
gravity supplies is too well-knOwn to be dis
cussed here. With the intermittent rainfall of
the territory, without regulation of some kind,
the resultant run-off of surface streams would
consist of short periods of high erOsye and de-
structive floods followed by long periods Of
drought. Underground supplies would be SINH
larry affected to less degree. ~.
There is but one way by which Hawaiian
streams may be economically regulated, and that
is by retaining or developing a heavy blanket of
fOreStcoyer over as much of the streams catch
ment areas as may be consistent with the de-
mand for water from these areas. The heaviest
rainfall u.s. Will lew exceptions, ABOVE llle leNelS
at which agriculture is carried on and it is at
these upper levels that the heaviest forestcoyer
is needed as a water-supply regulator. This
spongelike cover receives and retains the rain
fall, and feeds it gradually to the surface and
underground water sources serving as a regula-
tor to decrease floods and to increase dry season
discharge
The territory of Hawaii has since 1910 main
tanned a photographic survey in cooperation
with the United States geological survey. Linn
tied funds have restricted operations to lowevel
accessible localities with insufficient and tent
porary equipment. The1911 and 1912 reports of
this survey are now being prepared, and should
be given to the public within the next few
months. These data will give the daily, month
ly and annual discharge of such streams as have
been under investigation, and should furnish
abundant proof of the necessity of forestcoyer
as stream discharge regulator. These reports
will also show the amount of water that is being
utilized, and the amount being wasted at a NUM-
Der of localities. In a number of cases seepage
loss of irrigation bitches is also given.
The forestry and photographic operations are
so intimately related, the effectiveness of each
jdepends so much on cooperation with the other,
that this cooperation should be fostered and
stimulated by official action of the territory,
which is exactly the aim of the two bills.
