the Dower cane of representative Hawaiian woods. Tliis is a ciirlo 
cane made of bits of different colored woods grown in tlie Hawaiian 
Islands, and was originated by Captain James Dower, a:n old sea cap- 
tain. I suggested that the Salvation Army Home develop a standard 
cane, limiting the woods used to species which will always be obtainable, 
and greatly simplifying the manufacture. The Home is not at present 
equipped to take up the w^ork but has promised to do so as soon as 
possible. 
An afternoon w^as spent on the Pali Eoad discussing with Com- 
missioner Giffard and the Superintendent of Forestry, the problem of 
partial cutting of the roadside trees with the object of disclosing views 
of landscape which are now hidden by dense growth. 
Conferences were held with the President of the Outdoor Circle 
and the City Engineer relative to tlie operation of the city ordinance 
relating to shade trees. 
On November 13 Eanger Ellis arrested Manuel Salado of Kapa- 
hulu for cutting grass in trespass in the Honolulu Watershed Forest 
Eeserve. 
Among the visitors to the office was Miss Ruth Hoffman of the 
Department of Education, with an inquiry into the possibility of growing 
olona on a scale sufficient to supply the public schools with fibre for 
handicrafts work. It is Miss Hoffman's idea to displace imported handi- 
crafts materials with native products wherever possible^ and in this 
she was assured of hearty cooperation by the Division of Forestry. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. J. KRAEBEL, 
Assistant Superintendent of Forestry.
