NEW PAIL ROAD.
The Bouvelard Now Open to Public.
improvements in Progress.

Very few people here know Of the
magnificent new driveway that now is
nearly complete-to the Pail. For many
years the drive has been dreaded on ac-
count of the roughness of the road. The
work on the new drive which has been
in progress since the beginning of last
year is now more than two-thirds
done About a mile and a half remains
10 be completed and this part OF the
drive is in no worse condition than It
ever was.
After leaving the Pail saloon the
road is a regular boulevard and finer
than any other road on the Island. The
average grade is about four and half
feet in one hundred, and the steepest
part is for about three hundred yards
just approaching the weir. This sec
ION OF the road has a rise of five and
a half feet in one hundred. The road
has been built following the winding
Of the Nuuanu stream and the line of
the old road has for most of the dis
.dnce been abandoned. Every three
hundred feet the road Is crossed by
drains which will prevent the rains
from doing damage. Five culverts for
coAGuctIng the water under the road
have been constructed OF solid masonry
not bit of wood being used.
The next three or four months will
see the completion of the present work
to the Spencer residence and a survey
is now being made with the purpose OF
widening Nuuanu avenue to where the
present work ends. Under the survey
the road from School street to the
Spencer place Will be made of a uni
form width of seventy feet and the
grade reduced as much as possible.
Those having the work in hand hope
by the end of the year to have a boule-
ward completed that for natural scenery
and facility OF access will rival any
that the world knows. Although the
original appropriation for the work has
already been exhausted. the Board OF
Public Works has been able to continue
1t through contributions from property
holders along the way. who appreciate
the value of the work.

MAHAN ON KINSHIP.

Cordially Agcee.

MONTREAL, Quebec, March %
Captain Mahan Is to have the honorary
degree Of Doctor OF Laws conferred up
on him on April Both. by McGiH Uni
versity. Two interesting letters from
Captain Mahan to Principal Peterson
are made public here. In one he says:
Il am very glad to know that any ut
terance of mine has given satisfaction
to the people Of Canada. At this period
of the worlds history. whatever tends
TO draw closer the ties of kinship be,
tween the United States and the Brit
ish Empire whether in its whole or

ton. The result of cordial mutual I'M
derstanding is sure to be reached. pro-
vided those of us who realize the I'M
portance can have the patience to bear
with the extravagances OF opponents on
one side or the other"
In the second letter he makes the fol-
lowing observations on international
arbitration:
IL do not greatly value arbitration
except in deciding pure matters OF fact
AS regards the relations of the two
peoples, you do not dwell upon what
20 my mind Is the crucial necessity

No, Mr.. Editor, some of the most
highly educated and best-thinking
minds of the day are convinced that
compulsory vaccination never has pre-
vented and never will prevent small
pox. Compulsory notification, cOmpul-
sorry isolation and compulsory SANTA
ion, they declare, are each and all
good and will stamp out the disease,
and so, sir, eminent authorities say of
the plague.
How far the serum anti-pestiferum
is useful, If at all, it's advocates are
unable to say, and although it's use is
asserted to be founded upon "a strict
scientific basis" its exhibition is, in
the same breath. pronounced TO be "in

name Of those made homeless by the
drastic measures recently invoked to
stay insanitary conditions, and to save
the Honolulu OF the future repetition
OF the experiences which are sucn re-

The members of the Board of Health
are today laying the lines on which
this city will either rise or fall as a
resort of the future tourist or health

factor that cannot be ignored in deal

Every addition of this kind increases
