Of the evening, each of the l25 mem
bers having invited two friends, were
received and seated small tables being
interspersed, so that the refreshments
which formed one number Of the pro
gram, could be within the reach of
each. The room was decorated only
with the American fag. but the beau
tiful illumination gave to 1t an attract
i've brightness. There the program Of
musical and literary numbers was car
ried through, and although there was
long and varied selection of numbers

their initiation. The rooms furnish a
pretty resting spot for the members,
there being a reading room and an en-
closed lattiCed gallery which affords an
Ideal smoking room. In addition there
are all the club conveniences.
As only half the evenings entertain
ment was furnished by Elks, there Will

IDLE PRANK OF
SCHOOLBOYS

The RAPID Transit dummy mystery
was solved yesterday by Professor Smith
of Oahu College, who had received an
inlling that some of the school boys at
his institution had perpetrated the prac-
teal joke. Sure enough. investigation
proved such to be the case. -Four young
sters confessed to having placed the
dummy on the track near the college
grounds last Saturday night.
On the advice of Professor Smith, the
culprits visited Manager Ballentyne yes
terday, and made a clean breast of the
whole affair. The manager told them
that while the matter might have had
serious consequences, he was disposed to
deal leniently with them. His sentence
was that they carry back the remains of
the dummy to the college between them.
Professor Smith readily acquiesced
with Manager Ballentyne's policy of hu-
and about 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon four deVotees of that form Of
popular practice known as practical jOlI-
ing, took each his share of the late la
mented and concealing it as best they
might, struggled it into the college
grounds.

4 NEED Of.
THE FUTURE
w. O. Smith Talks
of Recreation
Grounds.

Editor Advertiser: The city Of Hon
oluIu is growing rapidly in population
and the demand for land for residence
and business purposes is increasing.
While at present there is somewhat
less activity in the demand for proper
ty, the growth OF the city is marked.
With the establishment of cable COM
munication and the development of
Pearl Harbor in the near future, Homo
lulu Is destined to grow and extend its
borders. A company is about TO begin
the work of filling in the low lands Iy-
ing between the harbOr and WAIKIKI
and d large area of land suitable Tor
business purposes and residence viii be
developed.
The dredging of Pearl Harbor and
the building of the naval station, and
the works and harbor facilities about
to be instituted there by the Oahu Rail-
road and Land Company will contrib
ute very much to the growth of the city
| in that direction.
Honolulu is no longer a village. but a
growing city. The volume of business
carried on here is that of a city of no
mean proportions. And with the devel-
opment of the commerce of this great
ocean and the vast countries bordering
upon it, Honolulu Will become one of
the important points and seapOrts of
the world
With this growth and development
greater responsibilities confront the
community. Among these is that of
planning for the proper laying out of
the new areas which will eventually
form portions of the city.
In a few years-it may be twenty-five
or fifty years-Honolulu will extend
from Diamond Head to Pearl Harbor.
The tracts lying between the harbor
and Waikiki, and from Kapalama to
Pearl Harbor. consist largely of open, |
unoccupied lands. Now is the time to !
plan for the future streets, recreation |
grounds and public parks. Careful
thought and attention should be given |
to these matters. Later, after individ- |
ual owners have made their own plans
without reference to any general plan. |
or have parted with detached sections. |
and nI-considered subdivisions have
been made, 1t viii become much more |
difficult, and perhaps practically i'm |
possible, to secure good results.
At present the need for recreation /
grounds in localities which are densely |
populated is very great. The number
of children ana youth needing facilities
of this nature is already large, and rap
idly increasing. The efforts of those |
who have organized the Boys Brigade |
are most commendable, but they are
with great difficulties.
The best work that can be done for
promoting those things which make for
law and order is with the young. The
value of the persistent and great work
of those carrying on the educational
and religious institutions in the com
munity cannot be over-estimated, bur
these should be supplemented. Greater
facilities for exercise and occupation
during spare hours should be provided
for the active boys and girls.
1t is already difficult to obtain suita-
BILE areas for recreation grounds. and [
unless provision IS made for the future
these difficulties viii increase.

Senator ]. J. McGillivray, of the Thir-
ty-first district, comprising the counties
of Juneau, Jackson and Munroe, has
declared his intentions respecting his
gress now held by John J. Esh, of La
Crosse. The senator, under a card pub
lfShed in the Sentinel, sets at rest the
story which his organ, the Jackson
County Journal, in this city, took up in
its next issue and brings the senator
out for third term as representa-
tive of the Thirty-f1rst senatorial dis
trict. McGhlivray swears fidelity to
Esh, and serves notice on the state
ment that he is for La Follett for gov
ernor. The influential members of the
Republican party in Jackson county will
fight McGillivray, and it Is question
able whether or not he can get the sup
port of his own county. The old wheel
horses OF the party claim that Jackson
county should not ask for the senator
ship another term. Both of the other
counties are more populous, and by any
sentiment of fair play they should be
entitled to this plum. The press of
Jackson county will decide on the ques-

he Is banking on the strong La FolIett
sentiment that has hitherto prevailed
throughout this section of the state-a
sentiment believed by many to have
reached it's food-tide, and is now ebbing
