Two days were spent, with the Superintendent and Assistant Terri- 
torial 'Surveyor Hockley, in relocating a portion of the Waiakea ro;<,'st 
Reserve boundary, in order to exclude a strip of potential cane land 
requested for lease by the Waiakea Mill Company. 
A number of photographs and some original data on the culture ind 
curing of awa root were obtained at Seven Miles along the Volcano Road 
w^here a Korean is engaged in the industry. 
At " Kalanilehua " (elevation 3800 feet), the mountain home of Mr. 
W. M. Giffard, measurements were made of six specimens of Pinus 
murk'Uta. which were planted in 1914. The best of these trees, which 
are growing under adverse conditions in a native lehua forest, was 
nearly 21 feet in height. 
During the month the execution of plans was begun for the develop- 
ment of the scenic and recreational features of Akaka Falls, which are 
included in the Hilo Forest Reserve. Several guide signs were prepared 
and placed at the falls and along the tourist route leading mauka from 
the main road. 
On July 31 I accompanied Governor Farrington and a number of 
county officials to the falls to explain our plans for the area. The 
chief need, aside from trails within the area itself, is the construction of 
approximately 1125 feet of surfaced road to enable automobiles to reach 
the makai end of the reservation. Such a road will eliminate the 
present bad foot-trail through private cane-land, which exists only on 
sufferance of the owner. For the building of this road financial assist- 
ance wull be sought from the county of Hawaii, but the other improve- 
ments are such that they can be done by our local Ranger. A separate 
memorandum is being submitted setting forth these plans in detail.
