produced and its story told. Some one
happily proposed that IL be sent to Mrs.

GUY GERE
AFTER ALL
Will Probably Succeed
Marston Campbell
as Engineer.

Marston Campbell, Assistant Super
intendent of Public Works, after hav-
ing received the endorsement of the
Republican Central Committee for re-
appointment, has withdrawn his appli
cation for the position, which under
new conditions is that of consulting
engineer Of the department.
On November 13 the Advertiser sta
ted, ION good authority" that it was
the intention Of Governor Carter to
appoint Guy H. Gere as Superntend-
E. Cooper, resigned. The statement
was made with words accompanying it
time it was we'll known that the Gov
ernor, with an eye to changed condi-
lions coming with county government,
intended to do away with the office Of
Assistant Superintendent and have
the executive and engineering divisions
of Public Works under a single head
ship. Since then the Governor from
closer acquaintance with the work of
the department has concluded that the
amalgamation of heads Is impracti-
cable. All the time, however, it was
meant that the next man under the
Superintendent, to have charge of plans
and specifications, would be known as
the consulting engineer" When Mr..
Ceres selection was generally accepted
as settled fact, Mr. Campbelrs resig-
nation was rendered to the Governor.
Pending the appointment of a success
sor to him, Mr. Campbell has contin-
ued in his old position owing to the
necessity of engineering oversight of
public works under way and projected
for early execution.
Mr.. Gere, on the occasion in question,
met with strong rivals for the Super
intendent's office both in qualifications
and support. Mr.. Holloway was ulti-
mately chosen as Superintendent. The
Governor, though, has evidently never
lost sight of Mr. Gere for promotion In
the department, Mr.. Gere being now
mentioned as the probable successor OF
Mr.. Campbell along with the latter's
withdrawal of application for reap
pointment. Mr.. Gere has been in the
engineering division for some years,
the past year or more being resident
engineer of the department. on the ISL
and OF Hawaii. So much was doing
there that 1t was deemed wise by Su-
perntendent Cooper to keep a super
vising engineer on the island all the
time.

Boy Loses a Leg and
Carpenter Has
Bone Broken.

Kaaia, a native boy. had leg so
badly crushed by cane car yesterday
at Honolulu Plantation that it became
necessary to amputate the leg at the
knee. The boy was employed about the
car, and although the particulars OBJ
tainable are meager, it is reported that
he fell under the cars. His left leg was
badly crushed and the young man was
brought to the Queens Hospital, where
the leg was taken off just at the knee.
Although suffering greatly from the eff
fects of the shock, ii is believed that
the young man will recover.
FELL WITH SCAFFOLDING.
While carpenters were at work on
the new High School building yester-
day, the scaffolding from which they
We're working gave way and fell to the
ground, distance of about ten feet.
f. w. Schultze, one of the carpenters,
fell upon his left ankle, breaking a
small bone. The fracture was prompt
ly reduced, yet Schultze will be confin-
ed to his home for some time to come.
Another carpenter, who was on the
scaffolding at the time of the accident,
escaped without injury.

We were of course much impressed, as

were much interested in what we saw
concerning them. In our journey we
were much impressed with the industry
Of the people especially, in their cul-
tivation of land. One thing that inter-
ested us very much in our visits to the
parks, was the meeting with parties
of scholars who were being conducted
about by their teachers, receiving in
structions at the same time. In the
chrysanthemum shows are representa-
lions of historical figures, which serve
as object lessons for lectures by the
teachers. We also saw great deal of
the amusements of the people IN the

done in the way of preservation of old
trees.
