Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
1 feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. L1DGATE.

Rep. Achi reported as follows for the
special committee to whom had been
referred Question 74, relating to the
Mutual Telephone Co.
"The charter of incorporation of the
Mutul Telephone Co. has the follow
ing clause: 'Provided always that the
erection of the necessary poles and
fixtures of the corporations in the
towns of the Kingdom shall be made
with a due regard to the public con
venience, so far as repects this posi
tion, and in this respect the said cor
poration shall be subjcet to the super
vision of the Ministers and further
provided that the wires used by the
corporation shall, if practicable, be
carried under ground within limits of
the town of Honolulu.' Said charter
was issued or granted August 16th,
1S83.
"We also find that there are many
posts along King street at Kapalama
and Waikiki, which ought to be mov
ed back so as to be a proper distance
from the line of the Tramways Co.
f "The committee is therefore of the
opinion that the whole matter of put
ting the posts along the streets of Ho
nolulu, is in the hands of the Minis
ter of the Interior. .We therefore re
commend that the above questions
may be referred to the Minister of the
Interior with instructions to act in the
premises."

tt'ep. Kahaulelio introduced the fol
lowing resolution: "Resolved that
when the appropriation bill is before
the House, an item of $30,000 for the
salary of the President for the two
years ending December 31st, 1899, be
inserted."
The resolution was indefinitely post
poned by a vote of 10 to 1.
Rep. Pogue reported for the Finance
Committee on House bill 83, relating
to weights and measures. The com
mittee recommended that the bill be
laid upon the table and that a sub
stitute bill, handed in with the report,
be put in its place. The substitute
bill was read by title and referred to
thP Printing Committee while the re
port was laid on the table to be con
sidered with the bill.
Third reading and passage ot Mouse
bill 56, relating to tne exieusiuu
certain provisions of the una au,

At a recent meeting of the Trustees
j of Kapiolani Park, the treasurer pre
I .seined his report showinsr that tho
present appropriation of $2,300 per an
num was quite inadequate to meet the
current expenses of the park and to
keep that now popular institution in
any thing like decent order, and make
it present a beautiful and attractive
appearance to its numerous visitors.
Kapiolani Park has now become a sub
urban necessity to Honolulu, and it is
surprising to note the number of per
sons, men, women and children, who
throng the park on a pleasant after
noon and more especially on Sundays
and moonlight nights. Its shady ave
nues are the delight of bicyclers and
carriage drivers.
The amount allowed by the Govern
ment for the maintenance of the park
is $2,500 per annum. To this may be
added about $400 or $500 a year re
ceipts from sale of keave beans, fire
wood, rents from track for races, etc.,
making a total of, says, $3,000. Out of
this there has to be maintained the
whole property of the park comprising
about 250 acres. This represents ever
eight miles of avenues, numerous
bridges, culverts and fences, all of
which have to be kept in repair, to say
nothing of the regular work which is
constantly going on, of reclaiming
swamp lands, building of new avenues,
planting of trees, watering of roads
and other work incidental to the care
of the park.
At present the staff of the park con
sist of 16 laborers and one manager.
Their wages, with the cost for grain
and shoeing working animals, more
than uses up the receipts, so that by
the treasurer's showing, a deficit of
nearly $1,000 has taken place since the
new commissioners took hold, some
two years ago. Unless relief is obtained
from the Legislature it will be neces
sary to curtail much of the work and
necessary 'repairs, which will eventu
ally detract from the beauty and at
tractiveness of the place.
It is to be hoped that the present Leg
islature will see their way to helping
out the commissioners with a more lib
eral appropriation than has hitherto
been granted, so that the present in
debtedness may be liquidated and some
much needed articles like water
sprinklers and mules be obtained.

WHOOPING COUGH.
I had a little boy who was nearly
riotifl from an attack of whooping
cough. iMy neighbors recommended
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, l am
not think that any medicine would help
him, but after giving him a few doses
of that remedy I noticed an improve
ment, and one bottle cured him entire
ly. It is the best cough medicine I
ever had in the house. J. L. Moore,
