The Twentieth century Magazine.

The Twentieth century Magazine.
Anew century brings new conditions
and new methods Of meeting them.
Fifty years ago the average American
was content to get his news once a
week. Now he demands it twice a
day, with relays hourly when things
are happening in Africa and China.
The Curtis Publishing Company
bought the Saturday Evening Post
bedause it belived that the public
which demands its newspaper twice
day would want popular literary
magazine once a week, provided it ad-
justed itself to the new conditions and
rightly guaged the demands of the
twentieth century. And that demand,
it felt would be for the best quality
that money and brains could make,
sold at as low price as modern ma
chinery and methods could produce
it.
To improve the quality and at the
same time lower the price of publi-
cation, two things are necessary-a
great circulation and the best machiu-
cry that human ingenuity can devise.
The first has been achieved, for the
Saturday Evening Post has a weekly
circulation of quarter of a million,
and new subscriptions are coming in
at the rate of thousand day. Again
its ten new presses have just been in
stalled in it's new eight story building,
which, together with its old facilities,
give it the largest and most complete
periodical plant IN the world.
This addition to the equipment of
the Curtis publishing company, with
the auxiliary machinery specially de.
signed for the Saturday Evening Post,
the whole involving an outlay OF half
q million dollars will enable 1t to les
sen the mechanical cost of the maga-
zine, and TO print the edition of five
hundred Thousand weekly toward
which it is rapidly growing. And this
cheapening of cost and increase of
circulation will permit the publishers
to make permanent the price which,
under old conditions, they were able
to put out only as special and limit
ed offer-a years subscription to the
Saturday Evening Post, tifty-two num-
bers, including the regular monthly
double numbers and the special holi-
day issues, for one dollar.

KAHULUI, Maui, March 13.-The
work of surrounding the entire town
with a galvanized corrugated iron rat
proof fence was completed on Sunday
evening. A similar fence was also
erected around the railroad premises.
All the company's buildings with the
exception of the general office are now
rat proof and are closed up. With the
exception of the white employees of the
company and the Kahului store and
few outsiders, the entire population OF
kahului will be removed to Camp Wood
by tomorrow night. Ten small two

outside the boundary fence of Camp

NEW BLOCK
FOR THE AUSTIN ESTATE

The proposed new building on King
street for the Austin estate will not
only be one of the handsomest struc-
lures in the city, but will possess some
very unique features specially adapted
to our warm climate. The principal of
these features will be an interior court
eighteen by eighty-eight feet extending
from the ground floor to the top of the
building and completely surrounded on
the upper floors by graceful arcades
forming two tiers of balconies. The
court will be comparatively open at the
rear end but will be protected from the
weather by a glass roof. OFF this court
will open a series of stores on the first
and second floors, also Offices on the
third floor. The whole of the second
door will be given up to stores and the
third floor will be devoted to offices.
The small stores are great feature
of this building. The owners consider
this class of tenants to be most de-
sirable. The stores on the second floor
will be new feature in Honolulu al
though very common in the principal
cities of the Mainland. The arcaded
court surrounded by small shops finds
many precedents in European cities and
also in America and Australia.
There will be two large and attrac-
tive entrances to the building, one of
them leading directly into the court.
These entrances are united in the in
terror of the building by a broad hall
in which are located the stairway and
rapid passenger elevator. On each
floor there is a large room set aside
Tor the handling of freight. The fire. ght
elevator passes up from the basement
through these rooms. The process of
handling freight will be as follows: 1t
will be carried to the basement by
sidewalk elevators and taken to the
particular section of the basement rent
ed by its owners. Here 1t can be stored
until wanted and then carried by the
freight elevator to the desired floor;
here to be unpacked in the freight
room and carried on rubber tired trucks
to its final destination, The toilet ar
rangements viii be most perfect and
equal to the best in office buildings in
TIE States. The street frontage of the
building will be 1874 feet and there will
be five stores facing this frontage The
sidewalk will be protected from the
weather by glass awning supported
on steel brackets.
The extreme depth of the building
will be 1T feet and it will be three
stories in height. In the interior there
will be eight stores opening on the
court on both the first and second
floors, in addition to which there will
be eight other stores on the second
floor, making n total of twenty-nine
stores in the building. On the third
floor there will be twenty-five offices.
The building is designed with an eye
to comfort and is very spacious and
airy throughout. The ventilation will
he perfect and it should be one of the
coolest buildings in the city. The front
will be of pressed brick and terra-cotta
and the cost will probably be about
100000.

WHAT TO DO UNTIL THE DOCTOR
ARRIVES.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival OF the doctor. An AL
bany IN. " dairyman called at drug
store there for a doctor to come and
see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor IN, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought bottle OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommend
ed Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to
their neighbors and friends until he
has a constant demand for 1t from that
part of the country. For sale by all

Mixed JOY and son,w.

In spite OF Honolulu being a plague
infected port the United States trans
ports will go to Manila via that port in
stead of via Hilo- which is clean. With
the number Of merchant vessels ar
irving here this decision will be read
with considerable joy by merchants
who have been unable to get their
freight promptly from the vessels and
by captains who are Obliged to wait
for lighters on which to discharge or
load. On the other hand, the change
will be felt in a general way, for the
transports left a little money in port
and small traders got the benefit of 1t.
All the transport captains who have
been here speak highly of Hilo and
the harbor, but they have the same
cry for breakwater and better wharf
facilities. Perhaps when these inn
provements are made Honolulu will
not have the same strong grounds for
bucking Hilo commercially.

Denihl OF NtpDlNhs
President Gehr Of the Kuhala-liilo
railroad reports that his trip through
the Hamakua and Kohala districts was
most satisfactory in a business way,
and the attitude OF the plantations and
business men was most cordial and en-
couraging. He was rather surprised
upon his return to hear reports to the
effect that his company were making
preparations for getting out of the en-
terprise as quickly and with as little
loss as possible, and were endeayoring
to sell out to the Wilder Company, or
anyone else who would buy. Mr.. Gehr
is carefully tracing these reports to
their source and when he reaches 1t
there will be trouble for somebody.
There isn't money enough in these
parts to buy us out" said Mr.. Gehr,
land the abandonment of the enterprise
upon our own account is the idea
farthest removed from our purpose.
On the other hand we don't intend to
be driven TO make a beginning of rail-
way construction until we are fully pre-
pared. Laying down few rails on
half made roadbed over a half surveyed
route, for the sake of making Q showing
is not in our order of business"

PLANTATION Roads.

Mr.. James Glib, head luna of Hilo
Sugar Company, has completed this
winter considerable extent of planta-
tion road, which connects the road to
Kaiwiki with the Amaulu road. The
Hilo Sugar Company has now what is
probably the most complete system of
well constructed roads possessed by any
plantation on the island. The total
amount is about twelve miles, and it is
so thoroughly built as to be not inferior
for use to the government roads. Most
of these roads have been constructed
during the last eight years and their
value from the first was so apparent
that the work has been continued to the
present point.
