KAUAI TEIP. 
Five days were spent on Kauai during the third week of the month 
on the following matters, which had awaited my attention: 
A conference with the manager of the Kekaha Sugar Company re- 
sulted in the promise of the immediate construction of a required fence 
at Puukapele, already described in this report. 
Investigation on the ground disclosed the fact that the Hawaiian 
Trail and Mountain Club had constructed their house on Lot 28, in- 
stead of on Lot 29, which is under permit to this club, at Kokee. The 
club was duly notified to move the house to the proper lot. The original 
error was made by the contractor to whom the location and building 
of the house was left. 
The sanitary arrangements of several of the Kokee camps was in- 
vestigated with a view to their improvement. The great need of a 
ranger to look after these matters on the ground continuously during 
the summer months is apparent and it is hoped that the next legislature 
will appropriate sufficient money for this purpose. 
A trip was made on the hydrographers ^ trail as far as the ridge 
between the Koaie and Waialae Valleys to investigate the presence of 
wild cattle which are damaging the forest in this swampy region. 
Although comparatively fresh tracks were noted, no cattle were seen, 
but several wild pigs were killed. 
The last day on the island was spent in investigating the forest 
reserve boundary back of the Kilauea plantation. The original line has 
become unsatisfactory in that it jumps from hill to hill on long courses 
leaving out wet forest land that should be protected and including good 
agricultural and open grazing land. Most of the land involved is pri- 
vately owned and a preliminary location of a new line to correst these 
errors was satisfactorily made with the manager. 
Eespectfully submitted, 
C. S. JUDD, 
Superintendent of Forestry. 
REPORT OF ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF FORESTRY, 
SEPTEMBER, 1922. 
October 19, 1922. 
Superintendent of Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Dear Sir: — I respectfully submit the following statement of my activi- 
ties during September, 1922: 
The entire month was spent on the island of Oahu upon a variety of 
projects both in the field and in the office. 
HILO FOREST RESERVE. 
In order to illustrate a newspaper article by the Superintendent, 
an outline map of the Hilo Forest Reserve was prepared on the scale 
of 5000 feet to the inch. This map, which was traced from the new 
reduction of Mr. Hockley's survey, had for its main purpose the graphic 
portrayal of conditions along the boundary of the Hilo Reserve so that 
*'he who runs may read.'' Appropriate symbols were used to show that 
more than two-thirds of the entire boundary is exposed to the onslaught 
of cattle, and requires the constant maintenance of stockproof fences.
