The Minister could get up picnic II he
saw ut. Minister ThurstOn seconded the
motion. and If any members, wishing 70
visit Punehbowl to see for themselves, will
give him their names, he will provide them
with horses at his own expense, and viii
not take 1t out OF the contingencies Of the

Chicago park of 1000 acres and the fifty
miles carriage drive round the city, built
at cost OF 5000 600 per mile, lined with
4 flowers and trees, and also with q broad
sidewalk. These expenditures Of public
moneys were miide with a view 70 the
material advantages that would accrue 70
| the city. Monterey, California, was an

scenery. Now, after five or six years,

1t. Rep. Kanlauoha said the hon. member
terror request tor mule to ride on Sat

The motion to refer to select commit
lee was adopted.
Noble Wight moved to insert: Road
from Honokane to Waipio, So 600. Noble
Castle moved to make it 100000. Noble
Smith said that Noble Wight had asked
very few things this session. His demands
were very moderate, and this item ought
to be voted. Noble Hitchcock did not
think 5000 would build horse trail up
and down Waimanu gulch. The item
was inserted.
Rep. Mcguire moved to insert: Bridge
over Waiaka stream, Waimea, Hawaii,
$780, Noble Townsend said his only OBJ
lection to these appropriations is the OPP
portunity they afford for lOg-rolling. Rep
Kinney did not think such bridge is
needed, except, it may be, when there are
freshets. Rep. Mcguire said It is badly
needed. Minister Thurston, in answer to
a question by Noble Townsend, said the
Road Board had not asked for this bridge

"nigger in the fence" 1t looks as if some
members were trying to find work for Gov

Paehaole moved 70 insert: Bridge, Hala-
wa, MOlokai, 81 900. Carried. Rep. Ma
wahine moved to insert: 2 bridges, Waihee,
Maui, $500. Minister Thurston said the
House is cutting loose from the Appropri-
alton bill. If members are disposed 10 go
on stuffing the bill, of course there is no
law TO prevent them. The road and bridge
service in the district where these bridges

from the Minister of Interior

pose of building snOw-shed over the cut
