Makiki Station. 



The shed at this station had to be enlarged and strengthened 

 to carry the pulleys and shafting for the two saws and benches. 

 Those have been tried and found to work well. A start will be 

 made soon to cut up wood for seed boxes, laths, etc. 



Honolulu JVatershed Planting. 



As the dry season is again on, the clearing of trails as a precau- 

 tion against fire is necessary. Half of the month was devoted to 

 clearing trails and the other half to hoeing the trees lately planted. 

 We expect to finish the clearing of all the trails about the middle 

 of August, when we will be able to again start making holes for 

 more trees.
