Representative Buck" Buchanan of
Texas and Representative Bland of
Indiana are the fishermen of the con,
gressional party. :~..".-"-. -. -.
They spent week ago Sunday al
Kailua fishing with Senator Jack
Coney of Kauai and then again on
Wednesday, Nov. IA, at Hilo they took
a sampan and went far out to sea for
days pleasure. -.
At Kailua Congressman Buck" got
one aku. At Hilo the party landed a
tuna-there are varying tales as to its
weight with the maximum placed al
80 pounds, and the credit for its cap,
ture going to Representative Bland.
Anyway they caught some kind of i
fish as the above photograph shows.
Since Congressman Buck" went
fishing they're telling little story at
his expense When Buck" rejoined
the party at the Volcano he along with
the others gazed most solemnly al
Pele's realm, after Boosting of how he
lad caught one four feet long. -~..
Now, then, Buck said one of his
colleagues, ''just how long was that
fish you caught?" ~. -. =.
Congressman Buck" looked up al

HESS FINDS RARE ROSE
TN 6. N. WILCOX GARDEN
WHILE VISITING KAUAI

George w. Hess, superintendent of
the United States botanic gardens at
w ashington, discovered rose at the
G, N. Wilcox home in Kauai for which
he has been searching for a number OF
years.
Hess found the rose while out enjoy
ing the flowers in the Wilcox garden,
and he uttered an exclamation of de-
light at the discovery. He had had
frequent calls for the variety in the
last ten years and had never been
able to locate the kind he wanted.
Wilcox found the rose in the pasture
on his farm, evidently growing wild
but learned afterward that the same
kind had once grown in Hilo. He
brought it in for the garden, where
it has attracted the attention of many
visitors. Hess will take a cutting back

WAR is ALL NEWS TIC
HIM; NOW HE WANTS
TO ENTER THE NAVY

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 5.-Fate
Wilson didn't know there was war.
He was herding sheep in Central Ore
gon and when his supplies were
brought to him no one mentioned the
war to him. A native of North Caro-
lima. 25 years old, and unable to read
or write, Wilson was as ignorant OF
world events as though he had never
been born until government officers
arrested him near Fossil as shirker.
For 20 months Wilson had not drawn
his pay. At the United States mar
shal's office TO-DAY he expressed his
perfect willingness to fight. He wants
to join the navy-he has never seen
the ocean or a ship-and he wants to
invest the $4,000 he has saved in Lib
erty bonds.

q firm believer in military prepared

lenses of Oahu, anud while in Homo
lulu intends to spend some time Wltn'

be left undone to make Oahu one of
the best fortified posts Of the United
States. cannot say offhand just now
MANY men should be stationed here,
but if $4,000 men are required to give
ADEQUATE protection in addition to a
large fleet, then l am in favor OF a
large garrison"
Regarding the roads Of Oahu, the
senator believes the government
should aid in the building, upkeep and
maintenance of whatever roads are
necessary to the strategic defense or
the island. He suggested that mas
much as the government makes use of
many of Oahu's roads the government
should arrange for a yearly fund to
20 into a general fund to which the
county of Oahu and the. territory
would also contribute, the whole to be
devoted to whatever road improve
ments and extensions are necessary.
In this connection he believes it would
be of advantage to provide for mobile
land defenses, mobile guns that could
be rushed to any point where danger
threatened: ...
A new and better road to Makupuu
lighthouse, the senator says, seems a
military necessity.

of trees named after him. This fol-
