four years, began the erection of the
house from snow which he shoveled
from the switch in his charge. After
the snow had been heaped the desired
height the room was scooped out with
a spade.
Mr.. Allen built q similar house last
year, but II was not so large as this one,
which is nine feet high and So feet In
circumference on the outside and Is
feet on the inside The walls are three
feet thick.
An Eskimo with desire for the COM
fort OF his family could hardly have
made 1t more completely serviceabie.
Beginning at the door opening and COM
plotting the circle Of the house there Is
low seat where five or six persons could
sit In comfort.
The small boys OF the neighborhood
come and stand about and gaze at the
house with longing desire for one like
1t. and ply the switchman as to how he
came to build his house OF snow, how
long will 1t last and innumerable other
questions, which are answered good
naturedly.
On the dome of the snow creation
stars and stripes float from three STATS
and over the door is horseshoe, for
good luck to those who enter.
Mr.. Allen built the house as protec-
ton from the wind--a place where he
can seek shelter when he Is not busy
turning the switch, and he has found 1t
well adapted to his purpose
There are several signs tackled upon
the OUTSIDE walls-perhaps by 1.-THE small
boy" They are "Steamfitter wanted, I"
Room for rent" etc.
There Is another snow house, built
by switchman, doubtless. near the
junction of Indiana avenue and First
street, where the cars of the Capital
Traction company pass around the curve
to and from the B. q O. depot.

call was made for volunteers.
One of the first to respond was Aug
ust Santos, a well-known young Port
uguese of Honolulu, son of the late
guitar maker, Jesus de Espirito San

tation he was seen descending the
ships side where he made fast many
drowning persons to another rope. His
action melted other sailors to emulate
his example, and by these means many
lives were saved.

Young Santos had previously distin-

fishing boat, in evident distress, was
sighted A furious storm was raging
at the time, and the Logan was unable
to get close to the craft. Volunteers
were called to man a boat and the first
to advance his claims for the perilous
honor was the young Portuguese, San

TRANSPORT LOGAN ARRIVES
AFTER EVENTFUL VOYAGE

Fate and the elements conspired &c
make things generally as lively as pos
sible for the army transport Logan,
which arrived at Honolulu yesterday
noon from Nagasaki, during her four
months voyage to and from the Orient,
the star features being storms and ty-
phoons, a frustrated attempt at muir
der by soldier, the rescue of ship
wrecked persons by the crew on two
occasions, and carrying the Taft party
about the Philippine islands.
The vessel met with stormy weather
shortly after leaving Nagasaki, and
this delayed her arrival here about a
day. A terrific storm was encountered
in mid-ocean. For eleven hours the
transport had it out with the elements,
during which time little progress was
made. Then the wind abated and the
Logan emerged an undamaged victor of
the fight and continued her way, home
ward bound, none the worse for her
hard-fought battle in the arena of Nep
tune.
The vessel may resume her voyage to
San Francisco at II noon today, unless
pressure is exerted 60 keep her here
overnight
Company B, Ninth q. s. Infantry,
which has been the guard at the Amer
lean Legation at Peking, China, since
the Boxer trouble, is en- route to the
mainland. The company has 149 men,
and at present is the largest company
in the army. 1t is recruit
ed far beyond its normal strength even
for war, but, on arrival on the main
land, the company will be stripped of
superfiuous men anu placed on a peace
footing. The company was relieved at
Peking by marines.
B Company marched into Peking
when the allies overwhelmed the |
Chinese forces and at once took sta |

pound. Captain Brewster, VINO is now
in command of the company, was the
company commander on that occasion.

! heads, the enmity being probably the
direct sequel TO the late Boer war, and
on general principles as well. On the
other hand, a most friendly feeling of
camaraderie existed between our sol
diers and the Hollanders, and this spirit,
while being very nice and commenda-
bic so far as it went, widened the
breach between the soldiers of those Ha-
tions and Great Britain. England IS
warriors We're in a singularly forlorn
state of ostracism in Peking. GoodteI-
lowship with the French, Russians and
Hollanders was obviously out of the
question; racial trouble and interna-
tional jealousy with Germany made
things frigid in that quarter; they de-
spised the Italian soldiers, without ex-
actly knowing why; Japan was inaul
gently tolerated as a very new but
promising ehicklet; and all others were
regarded with supercilious Indifference.
GOOD AS THE BEST.
"The American soldiers appeared on
the scene and, with national self suffi-
cheney and confidence in themselves as
a thoroughly good thing, promptly es-
tablished themselves as peers, par ex-
cellence, of all within sight or sound.
