JAPANESE UMBRELLA TRADE
 SHOWS GREAT ADVANCE.

skbKIO, May P. The export trade in Japanese umbrellas is rapidly increasing. Tn recent years the ex- ports amounted i'll value to $8,5O0,O00 and this year the figures are expected to be exceeded. Manufacturers in Japan are now overwhelmed with or ders from China, India and other countries in the South Pacific, be- cause of the falling off of imports assm England and Europe generally.

The Times today is unable to give it's readers any telegraph news later than May 24, no news having been received today, as the radio station has been unable to clear the accumulation of mes saqes which have piled up. In the meantime the Burnside Is in dry dock.

HARBoR
Ii EXTENSION FAVORED

This week mani brought 10 mono
lulu tho official reports of Brig. .Gcn.
Dan @. Kingman, chief Of engineers
b. s. A., on the Honolulu harbor exten-
SION project, with his recommendation.
The report made by him to the war de.
partment was accompanied by n re-
vised map of the western end Of the
barber, showing the areas recommended
by dredging, now and as a continuing
project.
Yesterdays press dispatches from
Washington state that the rivers and
harbors committee had votel not to
include any new projects in this year 3
Bill, but the extension Of the Honolulu
harbor is probably not among the items
thrown out The dispatches refer speci-
fiea1ly to the decision not to include
the Nawiliwili harbor item, the infer.
ebee being that the Honolulu and Ka.
hnlui items stand, t...r. a..
Kalfhi Channel Project .'@
The information which accompanied
the official report and map was to the
effect that the amount asked for
the dredging of the first section of the
Khlihi channel project probably would
be voted by congress, as the proposal
muu the warm DdShlnB VI thO army
board Of engineers. 81
According TO General Kingman 5 let
ter to the war department, the late
Colonel Bromwell submitted two pro.
posals. Each contemplated a channel
500 feet wide and thirty-five feet deep
through the Preserved channel from
Honolulu barbor to the Kapalama
basin, the essential difference between
the proposals being that one eontem-
plated wider entrance than the other.
The estimates were 81 ,535 900 and 81, ;
770,000, respectively. ~
Thousand Feet Of Channel
stThe district offHer/ states,'' wrote
General Kingman, "that a section only
1000 feet in length should be immedi-
ately provided to meet present needs.
leaving the remainder to be completed
when required. The estimated cost of
the proposed 10O0-foot section, under
project No. I, is $439,00O, THIS prof,
ect, the chief Of engineers recommend
saying: An initia; appropriation OF

that there are no places on earth like
Hawaii despite the Crouch which has
appeared in his home paper from the
pen Of one Of his employees But ne

win Finance Feathered Invasion
The Denver publisher offers to land
in Honolulu, without cost to anyone but
himself, enough robins, bluebirds, mock.
ingbirds and meadowlarks to stock
every valley. His idea is to bring the
birds here and TO turn them loose.
just what the authorities will say to
the generous offer remains to bs seen.
Hawaii has learned through bitter ex.
perience to beware Of butting into the
ways of Nature in these Islands by
importing new beasts and birds and
plants. The mongoose was brought
here at public expense and is one of
the pests towards the extermination Of
which the Territory is paying bounty.
The lantana was imported as pretty
garden plant, and it has cost the Isl.
ands untold millions, the alIo imported
Mynah bird being an aeeompliee Of the
lantana in its lightning spread.
Known Habits or Birds Good
The robin, moekingbird, bluebird and
meadowlark have no known bad habits
in their homeland, what little fruit and
grain they eat being more thal paid
for by the destruction they accomplish
amongst harmful insects. Whether the
influence of the tropics would be bane.
full upon these birds of present good
habits is a question which local Orni,
biologists and others have long pond
cred over. 1t is likewise a question
whether the mOngoose would allow the
meadowlark, a ground.nesting bird, to
live and multiply. The robin is a town
bird and he would be safe, while the
bluebird nests in tree cavities and post
holes and would also be mongoose proof
The mockingbird is a tree bird and
would probably escape.
1t is safe to say that the general pub
lie will be in hearty accord with any
suggestion of accepting Mr.. Bonfils
generosity. What the canny scientist'
may say Is another story.
