DEAL IS WELL
UNDER WAY.
1t Remains for the Plantation
Owners to Consummate the
Arrangements.

Mr.. c. H. W. Norton, who is we'll
known and popular in Honolulu society
and prominent in commercial circles as
well, returned to the Islands via the
China from New York, where he has
been In the interests Of the McBryde Su-
gar Company for the past four months
Mr.. Norton left Honolulu in December
of last year, originally intending to pro-
coed to London, there to place a large
amount of McBryde stock, but when he
arrived in New York his proposition was
so favorably received by capitalists that
he decided to forego the trip to London.
When interviewed last night by rep
ton expressed himself as being very
much pleased to be in the Islands again.
although his trip has been very pleas
ant and successful one.
And I am doubly pleased" said he,
because 1 am able to report so favor
ably for the interests of Hawaii in the
metropolis. The project I had in hand
was of Importance to all Hawaii, COM
mercfaly speaking, as well as to private
individuals and concerns. I am glad,
therefore, that the prospects are as en-
they are
When asked for any particulars which
he might be at liberty to give in regard
to the matter, Mr.. Norton said:
AS matters now stand nothing def
mite can be given out When I arrived
in New York. capitalists who have very
large interests in the Hawaiian Islands
met my proposition with favor. and they
are much interested in the project: it
now remains with the plantation people
actively interested in the consummat ton
of the deal. to successfully carry it
through. While I was in New York
prominent San Francisco capitalists ap-
preached me and expressed great inter-
est in the matter. They will do all in
their power to help the project along
The whole situation is exceedingly en-
couraging, but as things now stand the
matter is in allegiance, and until there
are further developments nothing more
definite can be said. Large bodies move
slowly, and one cannot expect much
hurry in the contamination of a gigan-
tic enterprise of this kind. Millions Of
dollars are involved, and T myself rep
resent only very small cog in a wheel
of an immense mechanism.
within a few months there will
probably be great Developments
Mr. Norton is associated with the Oahu
Railroad Company and will Immediately
resume his former position in local com
mercial circles. His popularity in social
circles insures him warm welcome
upon his return to society also.

RAPID TRANSIT UP MANoA,
Line Will be Built Immediately
Through College Hills.

After several months of negotiating
the contract has finally been closed be-
tween the Trustees of Oahu College,
the Island Realty Company and the
Rapid Transit Company, by which the
electric cars of the latter company are
to run up Manoa Valley.
The contract, which has just been
signed, and which assures urban trans
portation for Manoa jewellers at an
early date, provides for the construc-
ton of road Immediately by an out
side contract, so that the regular con-
struction work of the Transit Company
will not be interfered with.
The line will leave Wilder avenue at
Punahou street, going up the Manoa
road to Rock Hill, at which point it en-
tiers College Hills and follows the main
boulevard through that suburb. 1t also
extends through the grounds of the Is
land Realty Company beyond the Coop
er homestead.
AS the materials for the track are al
ready here it is expected that this line
will be completed and in operation with
in three or four months, as the contract
stipulates that this line shall be oper-
ated as soon as constructed.
This contract may be said to mark
an era of development in the city, mas
much as it enables direct transporta-
ton for the first of the new suburbs,
and this in connection with the general
favor with which Manoa Valley is held,
will insure rapid settlement in that
very desirable section of the city.
TIE line is to be practically paid for
by the two companies interested, in or
der to make Immediately available
their residence lands.

For You. For Anyone-Honolulu

nony Speaks For Itself.
When you work too hard what fol-
lows? You are tired, aren't you?
You stoop over at some occupation.
You strain yourself lifting.
You walk too far, or ride too far.
You call this overexertion. You
cannot sleep when night comes.
Your back aches, your head aches.
often you ache all over.
Oh, you say it's because I'm tired
out
Now this isn't right. It's because
your kidneys are tired.
They can only do just so much, and
the lifting, STOPPING or straining has
retarded their action.
The heart has pumped the blood in
to them faster than they could filter it.
The filter is overtaxed and becomes
clogged.

RUINED BY FUMIGArIoN.
Loss of Valuable Invoice of Photo
graphic Supplies.

~APfh4OS.
One of the maddest men In town yes
terday was Fred Church of the Homo
lulu Photo Supply Company. The fu-
migation of the mail which came by the
transport Logan has cost him some
thing in the neighborhood of $50, and
will probably be dead loss, unless he
can get the Board of Health to pay
claim for that amount.
Church expected a lot of Photographic
supplies on the transport from Roches-
ter, n. z, consisting of films and photo
paper. He notified the Board of Health
that if his packages were subjected to
fumigation by sulphur the contents
would be ruined. The postoffice
authorities were also notified. Accord
ing to the statements of the represen-
tatives of the Board of Health and the
postoffice, there seems to have been a
misunderstanding on the matter, as
one failed to notify the other, and the
packages were Unfortunately placed
in the fumigating room and subjected
to sulphur bath. Church knew his
goods would be a total loss, and inves-
tigation yesterday certified to this be-
lief. His photo paper is not worth
cent to him, his customers or the fac
tory.
By dint of persevering work in max
ing the two sets of authEities under
stand that sulphur would ruin other
packages which came by the Ventura,
packages consigned to him were fumf-
gated by the use of formalin which has
not the destructive effect of sulphur.
Somebody has got to pay the bill for
his destroyed goods, and Church says
he is not cit"

CHILDREN AID THE BATHS
PUPILS OF THE SCHOOLS RAISE
Ss.19 IN. PENNIEs.

The action of the. board of school in
spectors in permitting voluntary penny
contributions byrthe. school children for
the benefit of the public baths bore it's
first fruit yesterday, when DIR, ohage
was presented with three large canvass
money sacks. containing copper. discs in
the shape of con .aof the realm and
amounting in all to 1913:
The three sacks represented only three
small schools and if taken as criterion
of what is to follow, the bath fund will
be considerably ,sWeFped. Of the amount
received, the Jefferson school was credit
ed with 1922, the Sibley SLIGO and the
Franklin and annex, the Washington,
$7.67. The contributions in nearly every
instance were in single pennies and the
clerical force at the health office were
kept busy counting the coins.
Next week the other schools will turn
over their contributions. The collections
were intended to be made this week, but
many of the principals We're not thor
oughly acquainted with the order and
in consequence the collections were de-
ferred
