intermediate Douglas fir spreaders. This fence is three miles in from 
the Volcano Eoad and the last mile is so boggy tliat the packing in of 
wire is very diflficult. The fence, however, will be completed before the 
end of August and then, with the completion of the other two stretches, 
this reserve will be fully protected from stock by fences. 
, With Albert Mackenzie of 29 Miles 1 have arranged for the removal 
of wild cattle and pigs in this and in the Upper Olaa Reserve. He 
has agreed to undertake the laborious .job for what he can get out of 
the meat. 
OLAA FOREST PARK RESERVE 
SECTION C 
The fence on the inner side of the forest reserve strips along the 
Volcano Road from 19V2 to 22 miles is so old that cattle are continually 
breaking through. W. H, Shipman who grazes the adjacent land has 
agreed to rebuild the fence in August and I have supplied him with the 
wire for this stretch, which is 2.75 miles long. 
A communication was addressed on July 25 to the County Attorney of 
Hawaii requesting him to enforce the impounding laws along the Volcano 
Road and especially at 23 Miles, where dairymen deliberately turn their 
cattle out' on the public roadside to graze. These cattle are not only 
destroying the tree ferns which form an asset to the road, but frequently 
push over our forest reserve fences where the soil is so wet that the posts 
do not hold well.
