the Hawaiian Islands, now that they
are heref as..l r. S"@ 4, ~
The question was put TO many indi.
Viduals in the party yesterday. The ~!
plies, individual and collective, indi-
cate that they desire to learn what kind
of a Territory Hawaii has become since
annexation; what Legislation is neces-
sary to remedy defects in laws made
many years ago; what features of the
laws should be eliminated OF added to,

the Hawaiian National Park, TO include
Kilauea and Mauna sLoa volcanoes on
Hawaii, and Haleakala, the extinct

The last subject is regarded as one
Of the most important by many local
people, owing to the many years of pre-

lated what he considered a Joke on an
Eastern traveller. He told how one

Nothing more was said about locality

reply whereat my Eastern friend broke

Very true, replied but We are
still in Texas. Texas is so big that it
sounds like an eNaggeratou "
