Before leaving Honolulu we had the
Plaasurc of visiting the government
fish and game farm, the guests of H.
I. Kellv, who has been the executive
officer of the Fish and Game Commls
«ion slmw 1917.
Mr. Kelly is a
brother of Fielding and R- W. Kelly,
of Hood River, aud has spent many
yMre with the state and government
* fisheries
He was appointed master
flah warden of Oregon by Governor
Wlthycombe, but resigned that office
to take a government poeition. He
was eist. sent to Bueno* Aire« to
assist tbe Argentine government in
establishing a llsb commission in that
country, aud in 1917 was sent to
Hawaii to eetabllsli a protectorate for
fiah and game and an experimental
farm and iiatchery for the islands.
To aid him in the work he brought
over I. H. Wilson, one of tbe best
fish culturlats in the United States.
Mr. Wilson was at one time super­
intendent of the Bonneville hatchery.
We drove out the Nunanu valley
road to the Pall, then d«»wn the wind­
ing grade through idneapple fields and
gardens of bananas aad vegetables
along tbe highway that skirts the
east coast of Oahu, turning off. the
pavement after a few miles to Kane­
ohe bay. A signal flag attracted the
attention of Mr. Wilson three miles
across tbe bay and he came for us in
a launch, it was a dear, calm day
and the ride across the bay was very
pleasant. The flah and game farm is
located across tbe bay on a |>enlnsula,
where Chinese pheasants are being
raised to stock the Islands.
Fish
I winds have also been built in the
shallow waters of tbe bay, where ex-
jierlineuta are being carried on by
Mr. Wilson in propagating the mullet,
one of the principal flah of commerce.
Thera are 70 private fish ponds in
tbe shallow bays of tbe island, where
mullet are being raised for market.
Some of these ponds were built by the
ancient natives so long ago that na­
tive legends My they were built by a
small race of fairies, who formed a
long line and passed stones from tbe
shora to build the dike to enclose tbe
shallow waters of the bay into a pond.
One of these ponds Is still Intact in
Kaneohe bay and «till being used by
private fishermen.
These ponds are
carefully guarded by the owners and
la
the fish propagated for market,
tbe experimental farm one of th«
problems Is to find out how many fleh
can lie successfully grown to market­
able sise in a given area of the pond.
Deep sm flshiag is quite limited
around tbe island«, aa tbe “pasturage"
ia limited.
The fishing Industry is
almost entirely tn tbe hands of the
alien Japaneee, and their catchee are
so small as to be insufficient to supply
the local demand, so khat the price of
sea food in the market Is higher than
ou the mainland.

Oriental« are greedy in their catcbea
on tbe reefs and In the shallow waters
around the shores and are taking and
wasting many of the email flab. They
even dynamite the reefs and destroy
not only fish but the spawn.
The
throw neta which they have are of
such email mesh that very little es­
cape. The Hawaiian« are expert fish
ermen, and catch anly what they u<A-d
for food, but the Orientals are deplet­
ing the fish supply by their unscrupu­
lous and untiring activities-”
The Hawaiian« are natural fisher­
men. It was their principle living be­
fore the coming of the white man,
and Mr. Kelly says they are the best
posted in regard to the habits of fish
of any class ,i>t people be has ever
met. One of the picturesque sights of
the Islands is the native fisherman
with his throw net. standing on a
reef or a rock, gating motionless in
the water, then with great skill cast­
ing his net over -a school of fish and
entangling them in its meshes. They
even wade the shallow waters at night
with a torch, and spear the flah aa
they are attracted to the light.-
Fishing for squid, or young octopus,
is also carried on near the reefs. The
fisherman is armed with a spear, a
sack hung on his shoulder, and a box
with a glass bottom. Wading around
in/water waist deep, he peen through
the t»>x until be locates the equid on
a rock and then spears him. Almost
any time of day these fishermen may
be seen wading along the shore line
near Waikiki beach.
Trout eggs have been brought In
from the mainland for the past four
or five yean and hatched, then plant-
ed in a number of streams of the
Islands. On Kauai very satisfactory
results have been obtained, and the
flab are producing naturally. Striped
base were also brought from Califor­
nia and planted in several streams,
but they have disappeared, probably
having been caught by fishermen, a«
there is but one fish warden to watch
for illeglmate fishing, owing to lack
of funds.
i
Attempts are also being made to
introduce new varieties of clams ' on
the islands.
There are no seagulls oa the
Islands. A scavenger bird called the
gunl is seen In small numbers, but
the shorn line assies as free from
Bead fish or offensive ixlori as our
own shores that have thousands of
gulls. A few years ago a few gulls
were brought over and liberated on
the island of Hawaii, but soon dis­
appeared. Whether the climate was
unsuitable to them or they were
killed, is not known.
Back in the mountains are wild
goats, turkeys, chickens, bogs and a
few deer. AU but the deer and tur­
keys have descended from domestic
stock that has escaped to the jungles.
There were wild turkeys on the
islands before the coming of the
white man. The wild goats are de­
stroying brush and trees in the water­
sheds, and are being thinned out oc­
casionally by hunting drives.

H. R. CREAMERY NOTES
The Hood River Creamery, which is
taking a lead In the new cooperative
organisation of Oregon masteries,
effected for the purpose of bettering
the grade of butter, won the warmest
praise Monday from O. M. Plummer,
manager of the Pacific International
Livestock Show. In a letter to Leslie
Butler, Mr. Plummer said:
“You Hood River people ought to
be mighty contented to think your
creamery ranked very high among
those of Oregon in the list of euch an
organisation. You are eating butter
of a higher standard than 90 per cent
of the people of the United States.“
It'should lntereat the orchnrdlsta of
thia valley who have added dairying
an a aide line to know that-livestock
la now aerlonaly considered as a aide
line to cltrua ranching in «outhern
California. Livestock Interests of Port­
land have recently been informed by
those of aouthern California that cit­
rus ranchers there find profit in rain­
ing the liveatock. not only from the
Mie of the animals but from the fer­
tiliser obtained. It is declared that
the benefits from fertiliser« obtained
from livestock are very high.

the school year. These plays will be
put on la the high school auditorium,
with a matinee at 2 o’clock, especial­
ly for the grade school- children. Ao
usual, these performances will play
to packed houses, both afternoon and
evening.
The O. A. C. Oles Club, under the
direction of Professor Petrie, assisted
by the “Aggravating Orehedtra" and
Magida« Trask, gave a delightful en­
tertainment in the high school audi­
torium last Friday night before a
fair eiaed aad appreciative audience.
The high school share of ths proceeds
was divided equally between the
junior class and the baseball team,
who promoted the advance sale of
tickets.
The regular Tuesday morning as­
sembly was made an open forum for
the discussion of the proposed union
high school district. Talks were made
by Principal Gibson, City Superin­
tendent Cannon and County Buperin-
tedent Crites, and also a «umber of
high school pupils, one from each of
the seven school districta affected.
This meeting resolved Itself into a
booster association for patting the
high school proposition across.
The
young people will now make it a point
to have the voting members of their
families and their voter friends vote
tomorrow afternoon.
They will all
urge the voters to vote also for a
board of directors for the proposed
union high school district.
At the special mass meeting called
at the high school auditorium Tue»
day night a large and representative
audience assembled from all of the
seven districts included in the pro­
posed union high school district.
Short talks and discussions were
made by many people, both for and
against the proposition.
The main
purpose of the meeting, however, was
accomplished by informing the public
on many of the questions relating to
thia union high school district. The
subject of finance, opportune time,
need for another high school, restrict­
ing the pupils at the present high
school building, additions to the pres­
ent high school and a large number
of others were brought up.
In the
main, however, the voters were urged
to go themselves and to urge their
friends and acquaintances to go to
the polls Friday afternoon and vote
for or against the union high school
proposition and by all means to vote
for a board of directors; by so doing,
they help elect the directors in the
event the proposition carries. It was I
made clear to all that the election of I
Friday, held in all thene school dis­
tricta, does not vote money, bonds or
other indebtedness, and that all of
the people and residents who are
eligible to vote In any general elec­
tion may vote at this one. Neither
property qualification nor registration
