MONEY FOR THE
IMPROVEMENTS

Quarantine officer Cofer IS expecting
advices by every steamer which will
allow him to make the improvements
planned by him for Quarantine Island
Since the title to this land was finally
settled in the United States through
the efforts of United States Attorney
Brecl1ons, DR.. Golfer has been doing his
best to go ahead with the work. All
that IS lacking is the authority to use
the appropriation already made. though
larger appropriation win be needed
before the work is finally completed.
DR.. Golfer is working to provide ac-
ccmmodations for several regiments of
soldiers on the island, but he will not
be able tc do this until the filling is
made which will render available addi-
tionaI land. At present he can accom-
modate all the soldiers transport the
size of the Buford or Egbert could
carry, but IL the Sheridan or Sherman
or one OF the larger transports came
into port with a case OF contagion
aboard it would be impossible to place
the soldiers in quarantine except on
the vessel itself.
This difficulty ii was sought to rem
eos by securing a site for station at
Kuahua Island, in Pearl Harbor, to
Which transports could De 1nmedlately
sent. The fact that the Navy Depart
ment had not obtained actual posses
sion es the island. however. compelled
a withdrawal of the privilege granted
10 DR.. Golfer to use the island for quar-
antine purposes, but now that the Bish-
cp estate case is finally settled and the
United States owns Kuahua Island in
fee simple. the old arrangement viii
probably go into force again Dr. Co
fer viii be able to establish quaran-
tine station on Kuahua Island while
the improvements on Quarantine Island
are being made.

ADJUSTMENTS.
"ciroAe-ciroHa."

A very appreciative audience wit
messed the production of the operate
absurdity, "Girofe-Girofia," by the
Wilbur Opera Co. at the Opera house,
last evening. From start to finish, the
complicated situations into which poor
old Don Bolero and his wife Aurore
were constantly thrown We're enough
to make an Egyptian mummy laugh.
And laugh the audience did. Hattie
Richardson as the twin sisters per-
formed well her part, as did Helen Pin
gree as Pasquita, Charles Vaughan as
Pedro and Gus Vaughan as Mourzouk,
the Moor j. H. Comfy as Marasquiers
was all that could be desired and the
choruses We're finely rendered and
heartily applauded.
The vaudeville specialties by the
Gardner children were received with
great pleasure and so were the living
pictures.
This afternoon, The Two VaSa-
bonds" will be presented and, this even
ing, the famous old opera The Mika-
do will be given.
