MODERN BUSINESS BLOCK ON
PRINCIPAL STREET.
Handsome Structure to Replace Mays
Building-Other improvements in
Contemplation for Fort and Hotel.

For the past two months Manager
George II. Robertson, of C. Brewer g.
Company, has been in correspondence
with Joseph Brewer and others in
Boston relative to the erection of
large modern businessblock on land
owned by the Brewer Company on
Fort street.
1t is proposed to tear down the
building now occupied by H. May &
Company, general grocers, and to put
up a brick block probably three
stories and extending from Jordan's
to J. ]. Egan's store, thus closing up
the vacant driveway between the May
and Egan stores.
Another improvement contemplated
is the construction of another story
to the Benson, Smith drug building,
adding an additional store by build
ing in the vacant alleyway between
the drug store and the Arlington
Hotel on Hotel street. The Brewer
estate owns all the property extend
ing from f. w. Jordan's on Fort
street to the corner of Hotel, also the
Benson, Smith building and the Ar
lington Hotel. The latter building has
recently been improved with a new
iron front and general overhauling.
Manager Robertson stated this
morning that the last letters received
from those interested in the estate at
Boston are against the carrying out
of these improvements at this time.
The argument advanced is the UNI
certainty of the reciprocity treaty,
and until there is something definite
settled the Boston members of the
company are opposed to any extern
sive improvements.
From what Mr.. Robertson said to.
day, it is not altogether unlikely that
the returning Australia may bring
orders to 90 ahead with the contem
plated improvements. If favorable
action on the treaty is taken by Con
gress the big block is sure to be erect
ed. If otherwise, Manager Robertson
says Hawaii will manage to progress
anyway, and the improvements will b.
eventually carried out.

MODERN BUILDING TO BE ERECT
ED ON FORT STREET.
The Irwin Property Sold to Bruce,
Waring e. Co.-Large Real Estate
Transfer Recorded Today.

The largest real estate transfer
made for some weeks was recorded to-
day. Bruce Waring & Company has
purchased of VIM. G. Irwin all the
land lying between Beretania street
and Chaplain lane and Queen Emma
Hall and Fort street, The considera-
ton is well up in the thousands.
The land has frontage of $50 feet
on Beretania, 236 feet on Fort and 200
feet on Chaplain's lane. 1t comprises
the old Irwin homestead, the land on
which the old Fort street Church was
located and the Bowles' premises
where DR.. Murray's offices were for
merly located.
Charles S. Desliy stated today that it
was his intention to build a three
story stone business block on the cor
ner where Fort and Beretania
streets intersect each other. The
plans call for an s7-foot frontage on
the Fort street side and so feet on the
Beretania street side. There will be
each being 80 feet in length. Mr..
Desky is not at liberty to say at this
time what use will be made of the
second and third stories.
Bruce Waring & Company have re-
ceived the deeds for Improperly and
will begin work on their new block
at the earliest possible day. Consid-
cradle preliminary arrangements must
be made before the workmen can go
ahead.
The purchase of such a valuable
property and shaping plans for the
construction of large stone business
block on the land at this time does
not convey the impression that the
members of the Bruce Warning firm
look for the abrogation of the reci-
procity treaty. 1t seems to look more
like annexation. at least today's big
transaction is Il straw showing IN
which direction the wind is blowing.

THE PARLOR READING.

The parlors of Mrs. Cornelia b. Da-
mons residence ON Beretaania street
were occupied last evening with peo-
pie who listened attentively to a lee
ture by Mrs Emma Shaw Colcleugh.
Mrs. Clocleugh rendered a remark
able word picture of her travels up
the Mckenzie river into the arctic re-
gion inhabited by EsquimauX. She
had made the trip in company with
the wife of "A trader through the cour-
tesy of the Hudson Bay Company.
During the winter and spring months
the inhabitants are closed in by snow
and ice. Late in the spring the rivers
open up and the snow and ice rapidly
melt away. \ beautiful green vegeta-
ton abounds during the summer and
autumn.

Tropical Fruits.

Visitors to thee, shores are
admirers of the & eat album
dance of Tropical Gruits to be
seen growing in the large
grounds of the private resi-
dences, but they invariably ask
why it is so difficult to obtain
this same fruit at the stores.
1t is simply because those who
make it their business to sell
the fruit to the stores, do not
understand the manner OF
handling it to the best advan-
tage to have it bring a fancy
price. This evil can be rene
died by the Investment Of so
cents in a Wire Fruit Pick
er. This picker is so con-
structed that it will pick all
kinds of fruit, from the ALI
gator Pear to the Rose Apple
1t can be attached to the end
of pole and manipulated as
successfully as in the hand.
Hawaii is blessed with sew
eral species of birds that are
peculiar to the Islands and
many have found it an easy
task to domesticate them es-
pecially when handsome and
bright homes are supplied.

signs imaginable.

EDITOR BELIEVES IN
THE PLAN.
He Thinks Laborers Are Poorly Paid,
and for That Reason Their Efforts
Are Not Honest--An Experiment.

T.. j. Shiozawa, the well known Jap
anese editor and merchant, agrees
with Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald
in his conclusions that the Japanese
plantation laborer, in his present
state, is the kind kind of labor-not
worth cent more than he receives,
whether it be SIP or So. But he looks
deeper into the matter than the Com
missioner, and concludes that more
pay and better treatment would en-
courage the Japanese to do twice the
amount of work he is doing now, with
less pay. So firmly is Mr.. Shiozawa
convinced that he is right that he has
commenced campaign to secure bet
ter pay and better treatment for his
fellow countrymen
81 have been investigating this mat
ter for some time" said Mr.. Shioza-
wa this morning, land | am convinc-
ed that japanese labor is cheap be-
cause the pay is cheap, and for no
other reason. ! have talked with field
hands all over the islands. and find
them perfectly cognizant of the fact
that the wages they receive are far
below those paid to white men. They
know that plantation managers are
scheming all the time to take advan-
tage of them, and they are as much
on the alert to cheat the managers.
| OF IN t,la IN
ton. The managers know this now,
and are scheming in every way to
figure out a remedy.
The only remedy they can find is to
be fair with the Japanese and pay
them what their work is worth. AS
it is now the Japanese all over the
islands are banded together practi-
cally, to maintain a low standard of
efficiency. Whenever a new batch of
field hands arrive. no matter how hard
you try TO keep them away from the
experienced men, the word is passed
to work slow. If the order is not
obeyed, the chances are that the poor
fellow who tried to do an honest
days work, must take fiogging from
his fellows when he gets back in camp
and has not the luna there to protect
him.
''As a matter of fact the reported
cruelty of the lunas on many panta.
tons is almost warranted by the ac,
' tons of the laborers. Managers are
2 at their wits end to know how to cor
5 rect these evils. 1t is but small salts
/, faction to fine and imprison men wher
$ there is work to be done.
: "The remedy that suggests itself tC
