MONEY FOR KONA ROAD.
Continued from page ~

the joining of the Kona line and the
Hilo road Is made.
There VIII be some 100 miles of the
kona-kau road when 1t Is completed,
and the expense of construction and
equipment is put down at close to

lasted and furnished with modern cars
and heavy engines, so that the run up
the mountain may be made in the very
quickest time. When the line is fin
ished and junction made with the Hilo
road at the Volcano House, 1t is ex-
pected that the run from Kealakekua
Bay to Hilo viii be accomplished with
in five hours.
One of the plans OF the railroad com
pany which has TO do with the sea as
well as the land, is the putting on OF
a fast steamer to make the run from
his city TO Eealakekua Bay, TO con
meet with the railroad line at that
point. The plan Is to have a ship
which Will make the run In something
less than twelve hours. Thus a steam
err running from Honolulu, leaving at
o'clock, and with the understanding
that passengers must have taken their
evening meal before coming aboard,
would be landed at Kealakekua Bay be-
lore breakfast In the morning, and In
iillo In plenty of time to get ready for
luncheon. This would mean cheap
operation OF the line, for the reason
that 1t would eliminate the stewards
department ON the ship, and passen-
gers would not he furnished with ac-
commodations other than the mere in
cidents to travel.

desired, and taking the place of the
usual coating of paint or staining. The
wood to be decorated is first prepared
with a smooth surface and coated with
a mixture of kerosene and varnish.
Then special quality of wall paper,
known as sanitary paper" is taken,
having design on one surface that has
been prepared with oil or spirit colors.
After soaking this paper in water lor
five or ten minutes it is placed with the
pattern face down on the prepared sur
face of the wood and covered with a

low, he went stealthily into the bedroom
where his children slept. Their clothes
were laid neatly on three chairs, and
from each chair he took a stocking and
pinned it where the sleeping children had
been accustomed to pin them in previous
years.
After this he made frequent trips to
the library and brought up load after load
of toys, candies and trinkets. And then
he began to fill the stockings. 1t was
slow work. He had seen his wife do 1t
once. He had watched her then III
mechanical sort of way. 1t was on the
preceding Christmas eve. She was Ill
and nervous and afraid to go about the
house alone. In a grumbling, protesting
way he had accompanied her.
How glad he was now that he had! He
dropped a moderately heavy object into
the toe of each stocking to hold it down
then an orange to make it capaeious.
After this he slipped in a present for the
sake of surprise, and on top of the pres
emit he put layer of candy. He won

One lingering hope remained in his
breast. Could he make the coming
Christmas so happy for his children that
| he could win their love? He resolved
that he would take charge of the holiday
nlihselt, and the preparations he made
lor IL were extrayagant. The presents
purchased for all the preceding Christ
mas celebrations at his house were ms
nothing compared to the array that stood
before him on the foor, OH tables and on
chairs, this Christmas eve when he sat SO
broken in heart before his CRATE fire.
Something had happened. A mistake
had been made. The New England school
teacher, in the interests of white-winged
truth, had told his children there was no
santa Claus. This he had learned while
listehlng at the door of their playroom
that afternoon. And he who had so care
Iuiiy rehearsed the part of Santa Claus
Tor the performance that night, felt til at
1t would be hollow mockery, now that
they knew, as we all do some day, too

with promptness and decision that

ness, John Howard peremptorily dismiss
ed the New England school teacher, Civ
| ing her a months salary and no expla-
nation for his strange conduct. The chill
dren should have the hollow mockery of
christmas at any rate. But the essence
| OF 1t was gone. He had heard his chill
dren declare, between sohs. that they
would never hang up their stockings
again. and after all it is the stocking and
not the tree that is the essence of Christ
mas-and the mystery of mysteries there
OF is the wonderful fact that Santa Claus
can spend so much time and take so
much pains in filing the stockings.
But John Howard was human. He
himself had looked forward to this Christ
mas with greater expectations than had
any of his children.

Christmas FeastinR.

During the middle ages the whole
Christmas season was given up to rev.
els and jollity, in which eating and drink
ing had prominent part. The Saxon
instinct of our English ancestors led them
to make of every holiday an occasion
for feasting. Plenty to eat and to drink
was their idea of a festival, no matter
how sacred might be its associations On
Christmas they not only lined their stom-
achs with good capon. rs did Shakspeare's
justice, but stuffed themselves with all
sorts of rich, nourishing food and strong
" compounded puddings and pies.

THURSDAY. JANURY 80, 1902.

A Washington dispatch to the Mon
tana Record says that Senator Glib
son is preparing bill which he will
Introduce later in the session to create
an additional land district in Montana
with headquarters at Great Falls. 1t
is proposed to carve out large section
Of the Helena district, in the proposed
Grea. Falls district. The creation Of
the new district is said to be warran-
ted by promised settlement and develop
rlent Of country in the vicinity ofGreat
Falls. which is now far removed from
any land office. It is understood that
the land Office is in accord with the
senator and approves his proposed
bill. The salaries of both register
and receiver, should the district be
created. would range from $1,000 to
$4,000 each per annum.

BREAKS FORCE OF THE WAVES.
Mattresses are Strung Together to Pro-
tect Ocean Beaches.

Mattresses are Strung Together to Pro-
tect Ocean Beaches.
At many Of the favorite seaside sum-
mer resorts in this country the beaches
are from time to time ravaged by wild
storms. and hitherto no adequate
method Of protecting them against
such onslaughts has been discovered.
AS result the cottagers may awake
any morning and find that the pleasant
strand on which they strolled during
the previous evening has. during the
night. been eaten away by the hungry
waves. Now, however, an ingenious
inventor has devised method for the
protection of such beaches, a method
which. he Is confident, will prove eff
fective. It consists of number of
mattresses, which are formed of fibrous
material and which are held together
3y means of warps and bars. The mat
tresses. thus connected, are laid on the
beach, the warps and bars being placed
in such manner that the long, fb-
rous covering is kept stiff and immov-
able. AS further safeguard, however,
stronger fastenings are placed here
and there, and by means of these the
mattresses are anchored firmly to the
beach. The mattresses are arranged
lengthwise IN the direction Of the cur
rent, and the warps and bars are ar
ranged diagonally. The object is to
break the force of the waves ara pre-
vent them from wreaking their full
fury ON the beach. Experiments, it is
said. prove that protection Of this
kind Is useful for such purpose.

WILL FORCE IRRIGATION.

There are twentysix western sena-
tors who have united in a compact or
ganization having for its slogan ono
irrigation bill, no river and harbor
blll,' according to q special dispatch
from Washington to the Philadelphia
Record. These senator's, among whom
are undoubtedly included both the
members from Montana, are ofvarying
shades of opinion on most other sub
jects, but are of one mind as to the
necessity and duty of the general gov
eminent doing something on this sub
ject.
These senators take the broad
ground that if the general government
can properly make immence appro-
depth of harbors along the coasts,
it can with equal propriety help to
make water flow over the se1ni-arid
lands of the west, thereby rendering
them capable of cultivation, and great
ly increasing the prosperity of the
sections affected, and indirectly of the
whole United States.
Those irrigationist members are re-
minding the ether senators what hap
pened to the river and harbor bill at
the last session of congress, and they
promise to have that performance re-
peated, if need be, by the action of any
required number who have agreed to
stand together.
The people of the west will applaud
the position that their senators have
taken in this matter. The west is
asking for nothing unreasonable. It
believes that it's interests are as much
entitled to consideration as the in
terests of the people along the Allan
tic coast, who have so far been the
chief benefciares Of government APP
preparations; and they believe that Il e
irrigation of these lands now lying
practically unused will be of vastly
more benefit to the people of the whole
country than the deepening of a Ear
Dor on the Atlantic coast or the remoy
ing of a few snags from a river which
nature never intended should b,
navigable, and which the efforts O
congress cunuot make so to auv rreat
extent.
The west is not fighting improve
rnents in other sections of the countr,
but demands that it shall not be take,
solely for the benefit of the east /
demands that inland states shall hav
some consideration, if tseir represeu
tatives are to help the coast states.
1t is to be hoped that these western
senators will stick closely by the
declaration. and if they do it is reason
ably sure to win.
