THE PUBLIC AND
THE FEDERAL SITE
Letters From the People on
the Absorbing Local
Theme.

Editor Advertiser At the risk Of
over-talking the subject, word more
about the location of the proposed fed
eral buildings may not be too much.
Every citizen who desires the best
for our city; who looks forward to the
time when it shall be, not only COM
mercial center, but pleasing to the eye
and attractive in the best sense, will
not regard alone present convenience.
No doubt the postoffice where it now
stands, partly from location, but in
part because we are accustomed to 1t
there, is in the right place for today.
But will it always be the right place?
From the very nature of things the
town will spread towards Diamond
Head. King street continues to be
the only exit, beyond Liliha, to all of
that part of Oahu. Palama and the
adjacent country is swampy and must
prove very objectionable for all build
ing purposes. The other way invites
and the growth of the town will be
that way.
We are not we'll provided with public
squares Or places around which to
group imposing buildings. If such a
place exists and other reasons favor
its selection, it ought to be chosen.
Palace" or as it is now called,
Union" Place, is just such a spot.
The surroundings all favor the develop
ment of an ideal center for fine public
buildings. Several are there today.
The Judiciary and Executive buildings
and opera house are creditable to the
city and make a good beginning.
If all of the premises west of the op-
era house to Richards and Queen
streets could be cleaned of the present
raft of buildings and then offered to
the United States to purchase, as the
site for a federal building, no better
place could be secured. There is space
for stately building surrounded with
a lawn, cut by converging walks from
the streets, with room for the future
additions which We like to think will
pe soon needed. Distance from the
streets would be sufficient to avoid, for
court rooms, the din and noise they
would have in every other site propos-

The island is a sandy waste and there
are no difficulties connected with the
landing of the cable there. The deep
hole found by the Nero will be got
round, as we found that there is a very
fair way to escape the spot. We sound
ed down to 4,500 fathoms and then dis
covered a way to pass around the edge
of the deep valley and escape the diff
ficulties. 1 spent eight days in Manila
before 1 could get away, and was not
especially pleased with the place.
Il cannot understand the matter of
levying a duty on twelve miles of cable
from the shore enu at San Francisco.
If this is done it will be the first time
in my experience that such a duty has
been charged. Once in Canada a duty
was levied but l simply wrote to the
Commissioner and he RENTED it. The
from the cable offset the fact that it
is of foreign make, and this has always
been the case heretofore. l have been
concerned with the laying of seven
Atlantic cables which landed in the
United States and never before have I
encountered such proceeding. None
of the European countries do it and
it seems a great mistake to me-
Mr.. Dickinson will stay here until the
cable has been demonstrated to be in
oil
BILE in connection with it has ended.
FOR CABLE DAY.
The joint committee of the Merchants
Association, Chamber of Commerce,
Builders and Traders Exchange and
from the government, met yesterday
ana began the work of getting into
shape for the celebration of the arrival
Of the cable. 1t was decided that the
celebration would take place after the
cable had been landed and the connec-
ton with the downtown Office complet-
ed. There will be in ali probability a
half holiday and the exercises will be of
a character which will be attractive to
all the people.
The joint body organized by the selec-
ton of George w. Smith as chairman
and ]. P. Cooke as secretary, and got
down to business at once. Superintend-
ent of Public Works Cooper rendered
to the committee the use of the grounds
about the Executive building for the
exercises and assured them of the de-
tail of the band for participation in the
days merrymaking.
It was decided that there shall be
meeting at which addresses will be
made by several persons, who will talk
of the cable from the standpoint of the
mainland and the islands as well.
Henry f. Highton, who was at the
meeting in San Francisco when the first
message was received over the first sue
cessful Atlantic cable, will make an ad-
dress touching some "reminiscences. 1t
is also probable that Commissioner
Eustis will talk of the cable from the
standpoint of the mainland folk There
will be a response for the cable people.
but from whom cannot yet be told. 1t
has been suggested that one of the di-
rectors of the company may come rom
the Coast in the Sierra, arriving on De-
cember oath, and in this event he will
be asked to represent the company. If
no one comes it is probable that Mr..
Dickinson. who has had to do with all

S. S. DICKINSON, WHO REPRESENTS THE CABLE COMPANY


When the Commercial Pacific Cable
reaches Honolulu it will be found that
everything is in readiness for the max
ing of the connection which will bring
the office in the Young building into
electric communication with the Hobart
building on Market street in San Fran
CISCO The laying of the land cable
will be completed today and the splic-
ing will not take more than five days
longer.
Although neither Superintendent
Gaines nor Manager S. S. Dickinson.
who returned from the Orient yester-
day, have any specific information on
the subject, they believe that the alb
sence of contrary advices in the Doric
mail means that the San Francisco end
was successfully laid and that-the Sill
vertown commenced the paying out of
the connecting strands on Saturday.
They maintain that they will expect the
ship to arrive off port and drop the
cable in the deep sea either Christmas
morning or the next day, Friday, and
they think the connections will be made
within a day or two after that time.
Mr.. Dickenson has successfully COM
pleted the work which took him to Ma
Mia in the cable ship Colonia. The trip
consumed until November IA, and dur
were a number of soundings made, es-
pecially between Midway and Guam.
Few soundings were taken between
this port and Midway, and the only
work of great Importance was the dis
covery of a way around the deep valley
which was discovered when the Nero
made the soundings, which will furnish
the principal data, on which the work
will proceed.
The landing place on Midway will be
that which was selected by Capt. Pond,
when he made the trip of investigation
in the tug Iroquois. on what is known
as Sand island. At Guam a suitable
place for the cable landing was found
near the harbor, which will render the
work especially easy of completion. The
same is true of the Manila landing,
the site selected being easy of access
and entirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Dickinson said that there were
no details of his work which would be
given out as the data would be for
warded to San Francisco to the cable
officials for their information. The
length of cable from this city west will
be laid by the Anglia, which will come
out as soon as the cable itself has been
manufactured by the company which is
now at work making it. The work viii
not be started in all probability until
next summer, and the exact date cannot
even be guessed.
Mr.. Dickinson said: I'VE made few
soundings between here and Midway
and then made survey of the atoll.

posite the office of the Commercial Pa
cific Gable Company, will undoubtedly
prove of great benefit to the general
public, as has been the case throughout
the States.
J. D. GAINES.
Supt Commercial Pacific Cable Co.
While we appreciate the fact that the
location of a federal building opposite
d commercial building in cities abroad
does not in a general way aid business
we believe conditions in this respect are
vastly different here. Should the citi-
zens of Honolulu decide to locate the
federal building on the Bishop Estate
lot, we certainly would look upon such
an action as an appreciation on their
part of our enterprise.
ALEXANDER YOUNG BUILDING
CO., LTD,
BY A. A Young, Vice President.
AS one of those who have favored
the Gore lot, facing on Union Square,
as the best site for the proposed federal
building, to include the postoffice, court
rooms and other federal offices, 1 wish
now to express my preference for the
site on the corner of King and Bishop
streets. 1 now understand that in ne
gotiating for the Gore block about nine
owners or leaseholders will have to be
dealt with, some of whom are living
on the mainland, thus causing great
delay and uncertainty as to the result.
The Bishop street site, which is the
most centrally located, perhaps, in the
business part of the city, has been def
nitely offered by the Bishop Estate, I
understand, at reasonable figure, and
can be obtained at any time. 1t is sit
uated on the corner of two wide streets,
thus giving the opportunity to the fed
eral government to erect a handsome
and commodious building that will be
an ornament to the city and the pride
of the Territory.

I had in contemplation offering my
interest in Mahuka property running
from King to Merchant street and op-
posite the property of Bishop Estate as
a possible site for public buildings, but
believing the site offered by Bishop Es-
tate the most desirable yet offered, and
best calculated to serve the interests
of the business community cheerful
ly sign in favor of said site and imme-
date action.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1902-12-19

I am in favor of the Bishop Estate
property, opposite the Alexander Young
building as the site for the proposed
federal building, on account of ITS
broad area, it's open, central and easily
accessible position, the possibility OF
immediate delivery, and the low price
asked for it.
