GOVERNMENT
DEPOSITORY
The First National Bank
Plans.
ARRANGEMENTS COMPLETE
Institution Will Occupy Quarters in
StangenwaId Building in
Spring.

The First National Bank of Hawaii
at Honolulu has been made the United
States depository for Federal funds.
This includes the Postoffice and Inter-
nal Revenue office. but not the Custom
House funds. A law would have to be
enacted by Congress changing the
present law governing the disposition
of Custom House funds before a Ma
tional Bank depository could have con-
troll of them.
All disbursing officials of the Federal
Government will be instructed to do
their business through the First Ma
tional Bank. The change will go into
effect when the bank has qualified by
depositing 100000 worth of bonds with
the Secretary Of the Treasury at Wash
ington, and the bank is giving the nec-
essary instructions to purchase these
bonds by the mail which goes on the
Gaelic. The instructions will be tele-
graphed from San Francisco to Selig-
man & Company. bankers, New York
City.
AS soon as the bonds are received by
authority is given to the bank to be
known as the United States Depository.
the local institution will commence to
receive all United States funds except
those from the Custom House. This
order will also include all moneys In
tended to be disbursed by the Army
and Navy at this port.
The currency ordered two months ago
and for which the bank has already
deposited $50.00 in United States bonds
with the Federal Government. will ar
rive in Honolulu by the next steamer
as per advices received from the Comp
troller Of the Treasury by the Coptic.
To certain extent the establishment
of the Federal depository solves the
money problem which has stared fnan-
ciers In the face for several months
past. 1t will keep large amount Of
gold in the Territory which would
otherwise be shipped out monthly. The
Federal officials will make their dis
bursements against the balances they
keep with the bank. If the Custom
House law having reference to the de-
posit of the receipts Is changed by Con-
gressional action the local financial
situation Is solved at once. However,
as the next session OF Congress will be
short one, and as important matters
of state will crowd matters of this
character out of the calendar, there is
not likely to be any change for some
time to come.
The bank will move into the new
quarters in the Stangenwald block
when completed leaving the savings de-
partment in the present location

FOR A CEMETERY
AT DIAMOND HEAD
Propositions Made By Rapid
Transit Company-Mat-
ters in Council.

Definite propositions have been made
to the Territorial Government by the
Rapid Transit Company for the con-
struction of a cemetery beyond Dia-
mond Head. The company desires a
deed in fee simple of fifty acres of land
in the district where the cemetery Is
to be located at nominal price. 1t
agrees to extend it's tracks to the dis
trict within one year and will furnish
piping and water for the district.
1t fixes the charges for funerals at SIS
for each body taken to be buried and
twenty-five cents for each passenger.
Funeral cars will be built and provided
with extra trailers in case of large
funerals. The proposition was received
by Superintendent McCandless In q
letter from c. c.. Ballentyne, manager
of the company. The letter was read
at the meeting of the Governors coun-
Gil yesterday morning and was discuss
ed but no action was taken.
Mr.. McCandless also stated that the
construction of the reservoir at Dia-
mond Head which will water the Wal
kiki district would exceed the first esti-
mates. The reservoir will be built so
far as possible and will be brought into
use as soon as possible
Plans were presented by Mr. McCand-
less which had been prepared by Ru-
dolph Herring, the engineer who plan
ned the Honolulu sewer system, for the
carrying off of food waters from Fort,
Beretania and Alakea streets.
The matter of port charges at Hilo
was brought up by a letter from Cap
tain Fitzgerald of that place. 1t Is like
ly that the charges will be made to
conform with those In vogue In Homo
lulu.
A table of rates which may be charg-
ed Tor connecting houses with the sewer
system was proposed by Mr. McCand-
less. 1t was read and will be revised.

A. G. OSBORN.

Mr., A. G. Osborn, or Squire Os-
born as he is more Familiarity known,
is one of the oldest and most substan-
tial figures in the Brightwood Citi-
zens' Association, in which he served
as treasurer for several terms, his
age and health not permitting him
to take such an active part as he might
otherwise desire to.
About four months before the Citi-
zens' Association was organized he is
quoted in one Of our early issues as
saying: Il believe it would be a good
thing if it can be properly organized
and if the people, especially property
owners, take an interest in it,"
Well, it was properly organized in
the beginning and the people, the tax
payers especially, as the Squire sug-
gested, have taken an interest in it
and it has grown and prospered and
become powerliu as an agency for
good
It's handiwork is seen in cheap.
rapid and convenient transportation
facilities; in improved roadways; in
the silent watchers at engine house
No. 13; in ample police protection;
water supply and in various other i'm
provements that make for comfort,
order and the general well being of the
community. And the Squire is pleased
that it is so. Had his general health
permitted he would have taken a more
active and larger part in the workings
of the association which has done so
much to enhance the value Of his own
property as well as of every other
piece Of realty in the entire vicinity
of Brightwood. For three years he
served as treasurer Of the association,
and has helped in many ways in it's
good work. He was postmaster of
Brightwood for twenty-five years, and
has been in business constantly in
the same town for the past forty years.
Certainly a most wonderful record.

EDGAR M. SHAW.

Mr.. Edgar NJ. Shaw conducts the
leading and largest store in Bright
wood and has identified himself with
the Citizens Association, being intel
ligent enough to thoroughly under
stand that any movement for the gem
eral betterment of the community
should receive the hearty support of
it's business men.
Before coming to Brightwood he was
a member of the grocery firm Of Shaw
q Gleason at Chillum, Md, where he
received practical experience in the
art Of catering to the grocery wants
Of a discriminating constituency.
About three years ago he bought out
the old established stand that was con-
Quoted by Squire Osborn for nearly
forty years, and began at once to stock
1t up with staple and fancy groceries
in sufficient quantity and variety to
meet the needs Of everybody for miles
around.
Being young, active and vigorous,
and with plenty of ready cash he pro
ceeded to make the store so complete
and attractive that people could not
well keep away, the result being that
he has a large trade which he Is anx-
ious to extend along conservative
lines. From his advertisement in an
other column it will be seen that he
carries several complete lines of goods
and keeps in close touch with the
markets In order to give his friends
the very best there is going.

THE BRIGHTWOOD HOTEL

When the Brghtwood Hotel passed
about a year ago there was very gen
eral rejoicing when it was known that
Mr. Tn. Felter was coming back To
take up the reins again.
He operated the hotel for a couple
of years before Mr.. Schlosser came on
the scene and the people OF Bright
wood knew him and they also knew
what kind of house he kept
Among all classes of people it was
said were glad Felter is back be
cause he always keeps an orderly
house"
Mr. Felter is not a novice at the
hotel business. He has had about as
long and varied experience as any man
in the District of Columbia and he has
catered to some of its most distin-
guished people. During his proprie-
torship Of Welcker's Hotel on Fiji
teenth street so popular did he make
that hostelry that it became known
as the "Delmonico' of Washington.
1t was there that he served Presi-
dents, Judges of the Supreme Court
and other dignitaries of national and
international renOwn. He is just as
much at home in preparing a spread
for a king and his entire suite as he
is in preparing an ordinary lunch for
an ordinary individual.
Under his management the Bright
wood Hotel is fast becoming known
as the ne plus ultra Of perfection as
to cuisine, service and appointments.
He takes a lively interest in the af-
fairs of the BrightwoOd Citizens As
sociation and in the good work !, Is
accomplishing.

JACOB XANDER.

One of the most earnest members of
the Brightwood Citizens Association
is a valued citizen of the District of
Columbia, a man who has achieved
success as a merchant in Washington
and did as much as any man to ele-
vate the tone and character of his
business by strict integrity, honesty
and fair dealing.
He is not yet so years old, and al
though he came to this country when
a very young man, educated as he was
i'm his native German language, he was
obliged, however, to become familiar
not only with the English, but with
American manners and customs, as
well as his knowledge Of men and
affairs. His capacity and business in
tegrity are illustrated by the fact that
he was able two years ago to retire
from active business and now leads a
life of leisure and retirement He,
however, continues to exhibit his use
fulness as a citizen. His faith in the
future growth of Washington is shown
by the investments he has made be-
yond the old city limits and in Pet
worth by the construction of two de-
sirable brick dwellings which have
been always occupied and also hand
some ten-room dwelling and stable for
personal use at the corner of Bright
wood avenue and Omaha street He
also owns other property in Petworth
subdivision and contemplates the i'm
provement thereof by the construction
Of desirable brick dwellings next sea-
son.

Since his term of Office expired he
has been instrumental through the
Board Of Trade and other organiza-

prOvcments, of which the driveway
through Rock Creek Park is one. He

AS chairman of the Historical Com

butte to American patriotism and
valor. 1t was this fort which saved
the Capitol from capture in 1864. A
great interest in the park system has
been taken by Mr.. Cox and 1t was
largely through his efforts that legis-
lation was passed at the last session
Of Congress authorizing the Chief of
Engineers TO prepare plans for a drive
way connecting Potomac Park with
the Zoo, thus securing for the use of
the people the valley of Rock Creek.
