out from the post at the Irwin place
and reached their semi-permanent
camp the next morning at nire. Elk
cellent sea .bathingL7s at hand at the
camp and the command IL duly appre-
ciative of this comfort. The daily pro.
gram thus far has been continuous
series of hikes to the various sectors
and boundaries of the assigned terri
tory and the filing in process will fol-
low. The Shafter exchange has set
up branch store in the camp and this
is found to be great convenience
The exchange mOtof truck makes al
most daily trips from the camp to the
post with mails and exchange supplies.
The battalion viii remain in camp at
Waimanalo until about the 25th of the
month. So far no illness or serious
accident in mountain work has occur
red and the officers and men are rapid
ly becoming seasoned for the more
diffacult part of their labors that will
come with the higher slopes of the
mountains.
The fish pond undertaking by the
post exchange mas proved to be sue
cessful and the stock of fish of the null
let variety now in the exchanges pre-
serve is very large and of fine quality.
The pond that lies between the rail-
road and the Damon island is wholly
under the control of the post autheri-
ties and the exchange management
has been diligently engaged the past
year In increasing the stock of young
fish. This has. been done by bringing
in young mullet from the open sea
and the work has been performed by
Chinese employees working under one
of the enlisted men of the garrison.
A constant guard is maintained to pre-
vent poaching and this has apparently
been well looked out for. The city
fishmarkets have been very keen to es-
tablish trade relations with the ex-
change and, have made many efforts to
secure the catch from the ponds, Of
fering therefor advanced prices, but
the output Of the undertaking VIII pc
reserved for the use of the COM
panies and officers Of the garrison.
Prices well below those demanded In
town have been made and the post
and exchange have mutually profted
by the enterprise Of the exchange
management
