ONE CHANCE

If that letter from Washington tell

the question of the propriety of issuance

be put an entirely different face upon
the prospects of the loan bill, advocat-

MYRTLE CLUBS
SPECIAL MEETING
A New Site for Headquarters
Has Been Practically De-
cided Upon.

The members of the Myrtle Boat Club
held a special meeting at their boathouse
last night for the purpose of consider
ing a change of sites. President A. G..
NJ. Robertson occupied the chair.
After the matter had been discussed
and the suggestions of several members
received it was decided to leave the mat
ter in the hands of the board of directors
who were given full power to negotiate
for new site and to make the necessary
arrangements for moving.
1t was announced that the Naval De-
partment had declined to grant a re-
quest that the club be allowed to locate
makai of the Quarantine wharf.
The probability is that the site selected
will be just in front of the Aloha boat
house. The property is leased to Soren-
son and Lyle by the Bishop Estate. In
fact this seems to be the only place
available.
me board of directors was authorized
to pay all training expenses contracted
by the club in connection with the
Fourth of July races.
At an after meeting of the board OF
directors several new members were
elected and the meeting was finally ad-
| journed until next Thursday at 4:3C
O'Clock.
| The club contemplates giving a dance
at its headquarters a week from next
| Friday.

SEWER LEVEL
is TOO HIGH
Y. NJ. G. A. Inconvenienced
by Receiving Faulty Engi-
neering Information.

Because they were misinformed as to
the depth of the sewer that runs down
Alakea street, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association has been put to several
hundred dollars of unnecessary expense.
When the sewer was laid, the Association
had it's plumbing connected. The fall
is so little however, that the water flows
very sluggishly, if at all, down the pipes
and into the conduit that leads to the
sea.
The directors have been forced to have
the bath tubs and wash basins removed
and all the plumbing torn away. and in
their stead new pipes, several inches
higher than the old ones, put in. The
work has been going on for a week, and
will continue for four or five days more.
When this is completed, new cement
floor viii have to be laid in the bath
room.
Out Of all this pilikia, the only benefit
to be derived will be that the fall will
be increased. Had the information the
Association now has in its possession,
been given it before the original plumb
ing put IN, they would be richer by
several hunored dollars, and saved an
infinite amount of inconvenience and
worry.

HEAL Til BOARD
Several Places Are

Filled.
JAMES KALIIPlO
FOOD INSPECTOR
DR.. Walters Wants to Leave Su-
psrintendency of Insane
Asylum.

A special meeting of the Board of
for the purpose of rearranging the af-
fairs of the Board, to meet the terms
of the appropriation made by the Leg
islature. All the old officers coming un-
der the jurisdiction of the Board of
Health were reelected, excepting where
changes We're made as given below. A
considerable amountof the routine work
was completed, leaving full day for
the important work of Wednesdays
regular meeting
The most important of the offices fill
ed by the Board at it's meeting yester-
day was that of Food Inspector and
Purchasing Agent, to which there is
salary of $1,000 per annum attached.
James Kaliipio, at present a clerk in
that office, was elected to the position,
a place which, from his experience, it
is said he is well qualified to fill.
1t was also decided to tender the po-
sition of Government physician at Molo-
the Office but resigned, A salary Of 500
a month is attached to the position.
The position of physician in the Dis
trict of Olaa, Hawaii, was offered to
DIR. Charles R. Blake There is only
salary of s25 per month, but as DR..
Blake is also plantation physician at
Olaa the duties of the new position
would not take much Of his time, and
the Board expects that he may consent
to serve.
There is also vacancy in the Office
of sanitary inspector at Hilo which
must be filled. There is one application
on file, that of o. A. Stevens. The sal
ary is $50 per month. The appointment
to this position will not be made before
Wednesday,; in the meantime DR.. Pratt
will investigate and make a report The
Board is desirous of securing an expe-
rienced man for this position and con-
templates sending one who has had
some experience in the same branch of
work in Honolulu. A fish and poi in
spector is also to be appointed at Hilo.
There were no applications for the
place, which carries a salary of only $50
per month, and DR.. Pratt will try to
find a man suited for the place, at the
same time he investigates the situation
as to sanitary inspector.
Some changes are likely to be made
! at the insape hospital also when the
Board meets tomorrow. DR.. Walters
was reelected, as was also his assist
ant, but it is understood that the cleo
ton is only temporary, as DR.. Walters
| has signified his intention of retiring.
The Board hopes to keep him in charge
until man to fill the place can be
found.

Indian Territory Schools.

SHUFCnltt OF muSCCgeS IS Interested tn
Indian Territory Schools.
Guthrie, o. T, Oct. 22-Frank C. Chur-
chill OF Muskogee, special agent Of the
interior department, arrived in the city
today TO talk over the educational sit
uation in the Indian territory with Gov
ernor Jenkins and other officials. His
visit here, among other things. is TO in
vestigate the institutions OF Oklahoma
and TO ascertain TIN manner in which
the school taxes Of Oklahoma are levied.
Churchill has been at Ardomre and
other Indian territory towns. The Indians
have large amount of money for school
purposes 1t is derived from mineral
leases and the sale of town lots, but be-
fore it can be used a treaty must be en-
tered into by the five civilized tribes with
the United States government and only
a small part of it can be used. The money
is now paid out in rates OF 81 per Indian
who attends school. The white children
also enter these schools, but they are
compelled TO pay tuition in order tc main
tain the schools. There is a great need
of public schools n the territory, and such
has been the conclusion Of Mr.. Churchill
after his investigation there. 1t is be-
lieved that the next session of congress
will bring about new conditions in edu-
cational matters in the Indian territory.
