Vol. XV. Honolulu, July, 1918. No. 7 



As set forth by the reports and proclamations printed in this 

 issue, progress is being made in winding up the work of setting 

 apart forest lands as forest reserves. With the creating of a few 

 more reserves, data on which are now being assembled," this im- 

 portant Territorial work will be completed and close attention 

 can then be paid to placing these reserves in a condition in which 

 they will serve their greatest usefulness. 



By Act 25 of the Special Session of the Legislature, approved 

 by the Governor on May 31, 1918, the Territorial Marketing 

 Division, on July 1, passed out of the control of this Board. 

 Since this latter date the Division has been under the jurisdiction 

 of a Territorial Market Commission appointed by our new Gov- 

 ernor. 



Strict compliance with the regulations of this Board concern- 

 ing the importation of live stock into the Territory, especially on 

 the part of the masters and agents of vessels which carry such 

 Hve stock, is necessary at a time like the present when the Ter- 

 ritory can not well allow its food-producing powers to be impair- 

 ed by the introduction of diseases among its live stock. 



A forest ranger from the State of Washington now serving in 

 France with one of the regiments of forest engineers writes that 

 the woods where he is working are full of wild hogs, and that in 

 the French forests there is ten times as much game, such as 

 deer, wolves, foxes and pigs, as there was at home. 



New Forest Reserves, 



Following a public hearing on June 19, 1918, Governor Lucius 

 E. Pinkham on the same day signed proclamations creating on 

 the different islands three new forest reserves, adding an area to 

 an existing reserve, and eliminating small areas from an exist- 

 ing reserve. These were as follows : 



Papapaholahola Spring Reserve, Kauai. Area 54 acres. 

 Approved by the Board on January 18, 1918. 



Waiahole Forest Reserve. Oahu. Area 1169 acres. Ap- 

 proved by the Board on April 24, 1918.
