k J--? ' I uluting the forest reserve, regard-
Cominioiw in Hawaii. ;ng tn manner of permitting wt-
"Twenty years ago, when I ,used j tiers to use wood or stone from the
to ply between San Francisco nnd ' reserve. The instructions quote
l3e islands, conditions ivere entire-j from tho laws passed hy congress
3 v different from those existing at! to regulate the matter "of caring
the present time," said Joel Nash, for the reserves as follows:
iwho has just returned from a trip J "Tho secretary of the interior
lo Honolulu, says the Telegram.! may permit, under regulations to
"In the early days the islands were i be prescribed by him, the use of
ivide open, as you might say. There j timber and stone found upon such
were no locks on the doors of the j reservations, free of charge, hy bona
amuses, and the people gave no j fide settlers, miners, residents and
thought to robberies. Living as prospectors or minerals, for fire
Ihey did in a land of plenty, where wood, fencing, buildings, mining,
all that was needed to make life! prospecting and other domestic
... .i !. u
liaiM'V was a little work, tncy ;
thought nothing of other wealth
and were satisfied to drift on and
live an easy life. At night time
the doors were thrown open in or
der that the cool night winds might
ie taken advantage of, and as there
was little of value to steal, those
in the house slept without fear.
"Since the coming of the white
man, however, conditions have ma
terially changed. Now all the
Louses are equipped with modern
doors and locks. When the Spanish-American
war came Honolulu
was was made the half-way station
for the transports bound across the
Pacific, and thousands of hard
characters drifted into the country.
The Hawaiians received the Amer
ican soldiers with open arms at
first. They feasted them and did
everything in their power to make
their stay on the island pleasant.
After the transports had sailed
there wer? always a number of ar
ticles missed, such as bicycles and
other things of value. Nothing
was thought of the matter at first,
but the Hawaiians and American
residents finally became suspicious,
an'd a change came over them.
They did not act so hospitably and
kept everything under lock and
key. The fault did not lie with
the American soldier as a type, but
in a quickly organized army a few
undesirable characters are sure to
get in, and these did enough pilfer
ing to ca4 a bad name on thous
ands of aB honorable and brave
soldiers as ever marched into bat
tle. The crowds that gathered to
meet the transports grew smaller
and smaller, and offerings of fruit
and hospitalities became rarer as
the misdeeds of some of the soldiers
became generally known.
"Another factor which made the
natives protect themselves was the
adrent of Japanese, Chinese and
other foreigners. Contract labor
has been brought in, and consists
of Porto Ricans, who are nothing
less than slaves, and who steal any
thing they can lay their hands on.
"Ttie natives themselves have de
veloped dishonest traits from their
environments, and prove apt pu
pils. The police force is totally in
adequate to guard the public safety.
It is made up of natives who are
unacquainted with the methods of
white burglars, and are unable ti
cope with them. Tbey look well
on parade, but when it comes to
hunting down a criminal are at a
loss how to proceed, and that is
about all. There is a mounted
r-quad, both bicycle and horse, and
the native.- are the finest butlt men
h. the island. For the detection
, . j , .. , . .,
of treason and political crimes thev
1
are as good as in former days, but1
f..r actual police duty are of little,
value, it is a sname inai conui-;
timiS Vliouid have undergone suchj
u cliiinye." i

Salkm, Jan. 28. Captivin 8. B,
Ornicby, superintendent of thefrv
cado Forest Reserve, is in receipt
of an amendment to tho rules reg-
purposes, as may ue neeu in buuii
pemous for such person?; such Urn
ber to he used within the state or
territory, respectively, where such
reservation may be located."
The instructions state that cor
porations are not allowed to profit
under this rule, and continues:
"Before any timber or stone can
be taken hereunder from the forest
reserves, the person entitled thereto
must first make application to the
forest supervisor in charge of the
reservation. Upon receipt of the
application, the supervisor will im
mediately make investigation of
the facts in the case. If, in his
judgment, the application be meri
torious and no injury to the forest
cover will result from the removal
of such timber, he will thereupon
approve such application, giving
the party permission to remove the
timber under the supervision of a
forest officer; Provided, That where
the stumpage value of the timber
exceeds $20, permission must be
obtained from the department. In
cases o emergency, where needy
persons require immediate relief in
the form of a load of dry firewood,
the supervisor has authority to
grant Buch privilege without mark
ing or measuring the material be
yond assigning to the applicant the
particular area where to cut this
material," , .
Representative Tongue intends if
possible to put a stop to lieu-land
frauds. He has introduced a bill
providing that hereafter, when
tracts within forest reserves are re
linquished, the other lands selected
shall be vacant surveyed public
lands subject to homestead entry
and shall be approximately the
same value as the lands relin
quished. This bill was introduced
after a conference with Commis
sioner Hermann, who gives it his
hearty endorsement. A favorable
report is also expected from Hecrt
tary Hitchcock, who is known to
desire such legislation. Represent
ative Tongue hau also introduced a
bill providing that adult heirs of
any deceased Indian to whom a
patent has been issued for lands
allotted in the former Siletz Indian
reservation may sell their inher
itance; also a bill ratifying the
agreement with the Grand Ronde
Indians and appropriating $28,500
to pay them for a tract of 25,791
acres thereby relinquished.
