Trip  to  Wahiawa. 
On  July  19  I visited  the  U.  S.  Cavalry  Camp  at  Leilehua  and 
located  on  the  ground  after  a conference  with  Col.  W.  S. 
Schuyler,  the  commanding  officer,  the  boundary  of  the  pro- 
posed Waianae  Hills  Forest  Reserve  across  the  Federal  Gov- 
ernment land  of  Waianae-uka.  On  Tuesday,  July  20,  I visited 
and  made  an  inspection  of  the  wood  cutting  being  done  by 
Mr.  W.  L.  Hopper  on  the  portion  of  Waianae-uka  to  the  East 
of  Wahiawa.  This  work  has  been  very  much  delayed  because 
of  continued  wet  weather  that  has  made  hauling  out  of  the 
question  and  cutting  difficult.  From  a forestry  standpoint 
the  work  that  has  been  done  has  been  satisfactory. 
Arbor  Day  Free  Tree  Distribution. 
Arrangements  are  now  complete  whereby  over  110,000  trees 
are  being  grown  for  free  distribution  on  Arbor  Day,  the  second 
Friday  in  November,  1909,  to  homesteaders  and  other  owners 
of  land  throughout  the  Territory  of  Hawaii.  Various  sub- 
stations have  been  established  on  the  several  islands,  at  which 
trees  will  be  grown  for  local  distribution. 
The  station  on  Kauai  is  situated  above  the  Kalaheo  home- 
steads. The  work  in  growing  trees  is  being  done  under  the 
general  supervision  of  Mr.  W.  D.  McBryde. 
The  trees  for  the  island  of  Oahu  will  be  grown  at  the  Gov- 
ernment Nursery  and  at  the  Experimental  Garden  in  Makiki. 
The  stations  on  Maui  are  at  Lahaina,  under  the  direction  of 
Mr.  L.  Weinzheimer;  at  Wailuku,  where  Mr.  H.  B.  Penhallow 
is  looking  after  the  Board’s  interests ; and  at  Makawao,  where 
Mr.  L.  von  Tempsky  will  grow  for  the  Board  several  thou- 
sands of  trees  at  the  nurseries  at  the  Haleakala  Ranch. 
On  Hawaii  sub-stations  have  been  established  in  coopera- 
tion with  interested  friends  of  the  Board.  In  Kona,  under 
the  direction  of  Mr.  Jared  G.  Smith;  at  the  Parker  Ranch, 
Mr.  A.  W.  Carter,  manager ; at  Papaikou,  under  the  direction 
of  Mr.  William  McCluskey,  and  at  Hilo,  Brother  Matthias 
Newell  has  consented  to  look  after  the  growing  distribution. 
The  stock  at  the  Government  Nursery  in  Honolulu  will 
serve  to  supply  districts  where  only  comparatively  few  trees 
are  wanted  as  well  as  to  supplement  with  the  species  that  are 
difficult  to  grow  the  stock  of  the  sub-stations. 
Mr.  Haughs’  report  for  this  month  gives  interesting  statis- 
tics in  regard  to  the  number  of  trees  that  are  being  grown 
and  given  out  from  the  Government  Nursery. 
Botanical  Collector’s  Trip. 
On  July  24  Mr.  Joseph  F.  Rock,  the  botanical  collector  of  the 
Division,  returned  from  a collecting  trip  of  about  six  weeks’
