tions. In order that the information contained in them may 
not be lost, Governor Frear has authorized the publication of 
them in the "Forester and Agriculturist." The articles will 
appear in this and successive numbers. It shouid be remem- 
bered that they were prepared for the fiscal year ending June 
30, 1907, for which reason certain of the figures quoted may 
now have been superceded. 
The articles are as follows: "The Climate of Hawaii," by 
E. S. Goodhue, M. D. ; "Rubber," by William Williamson ; 
"The Relation of Trade to the Transmission of Disease in the 
Pacific Arena," by L. E. Cofer, M. D. ; "Transportation Facili- 
ties of Hawaii," bv H. P. Wood; "The Roads of Hawaii," by 
G. H. Gere. 
On July 22 Governor Frear appointed an Advisory Land Law 
Commission to consider the whole subject of the laws of the Ter- 
ritory in regard to public lands and to report such changes in 
detail and principles as they shall be satisfied would serve the in- 
terests of the Territory. The Governor hopes that if the Com- 
mission has recommendations to make they may be in his hands 
by the end of November so that he can bring them to the attention 
of Congress with whom lies the power of modifying the existing 
land laws. The Commission is made up as follows: A. Lewis, Jr., 
W. A. Kinney, A. W. Carter, Carl S. Smith, S. M. Kanakanui, 
J. P. Cooke and W. B. Thomas.
