IN HE Pacific Club, under another
name, was the first club in Ho.
nolulu. 1t originated in the
opening of a mess room by thirteen
'Britishers" in a one-story wooden
building off Maunakea street in 1858
although the name of club was not
attached to the organization for some
years. The head of the first mess was
William L. Green, and he and his
twelve nlessmates have long since pass
ed over to the majority.
The early days of the club found it
changing quarters frequently, first
moving to Alakea street, then to
Adams lane and later to Union street
the number of members varying dur
ing the first fourteen years, from a
dozen to as few as four.
| In 1857, by which time the name Brit

a club house was purchased on Union
street. A few years later the club OBJ
tanned its present premises on Alakea
street, then a back lane, and was duly

visitors, including the Duke of Edin-
burgh, in 1869; the officers of the Fly

the "Merrimac'' and other distinguish
ed naval, military, diplomatic and civil
officials. Kings Kamehameha w and

UNIVERSITY CLUB.

The conception of this organization
occurred at a dinner of the Yale-Har-
ward club in November, 1903, when a
committee to look into the feasibility
of the proposed club was appointed,
Judge A. S. Hartwell, w. F. Dillingham;
and F. j. Church being named. This
committee reported a year later at the
next Yale-Harvard dinner and COM
mittee of five was named by the chair
man, Governor Carter, to see what
members could be secured. This ccm-
mittee was composed of Messrs. Craw-
ley, Derby, Church, Judd and Ander-
son, DR.. Humphris and w. F. Dilling-
ham being afterwards added to the
number.
In February, 1905, the club was form
ally organized and the Clifton hotel,
in the Hawaiian Hotel grounds, leas-
ed as club room. The first pres
ident elected was Judge Eartwen, who
resigned shortly afterwards in conse-
Guence of litigation involving the club,
which precluded the holding of the posi-.
ton while the matter was before him
in the courts. He was succeeded by
DR.. Day, who held the office until his
death last month. The original Board
of Directors consisted of Judge Hart
we'll, "A. Gartley, ii. T. Benson, Dr.
Humphris and A. F. Judd
The club house is most comfortably
furnished. 1t contains a small but
we'll furnished library and reading
room, a reception room, card room,
buffet and lanai dining room, the last
having only recently been opened.
The present officers are: A Gartley,
vice-president and acting president; S.
NJ. Ballou, secretary. D. w. Anderson,
treasurer, and A. l.. G. Atkinson, w.

DOUBLE TRACK TWO SECTIONS
VIII BE Done to Avoid Building Man
Switches.

Portland, Aug. 3.-Between Van
couver, Wash. and Cape Horn, a dis
tance of ?5 miles. the north bank road
will be given a double track. The
same facilities will also be provided
between Hover and Kennewick, 12-
mile stretch along the upper river.
Orders for the double-tracking OF
these two sections OF the road have
been issued by James ]. Hill, official
news Of the matter reaching Portland
yesterday. 1t will have the distinc-
ton Of being the only double-tracked
road in the Pacific northwest.
The building Of the additional track
was decided upon In order to elimi-
nate the necessity of having so many
switches along the river. When the
grain shipping season is on in full
blast it is held that 1t would be more
economical to have double track
than innumerable switches at every
point where shipments will be receiv-
ed. Both tracks will be built and
completed at the same time.

Present Activities Due To Great
seekers F1ocking From the East.

Washington, Aug. 3.-In a state
ment made public today, the general
land office shows that 767.114 acres
of land were surveyed in Washington
during the fiscal year just closed. This
Is an increase of 2S3,330 acres over
that OF last year These figures in
clude the survey of the Spokane In
dian reservation completed only a few
weeks ago. About $4,000 acres of
land, exclusive of that embraced by
the Indian reservations and forest re-
serves, remain to be surveyed in this
state.
Last year the interior department,
including Indian funds, spent nearly
half n million dollars in n rectangular
survey work throughout the country.
The money was allotted to the differ
ent states where the settlement and
immigration was the greatest. Should
the occasion warrant, and the present
influx OF settlers into Washington
continue, the department can be relied
upon to survey another large tract of
land In the state, possibly a million
acres or more. Settlers, as Is we'll
known, can not enter upon unsurveyed
lands.
Oregon, where land frauds last year
kept the department from surveying
more than 1345 acres of land, this
year had 203,557 acres of land sur
veyed within its borders. Only $780,
600 acres of land remain unsurveyed
in that state.
The Idaho surveys showed falling
off. This year only 47S,679 acres of
land was surveyed in that state, while
the year previous the total of $4,000
was put under the rod and chain.
Nearly 23,o00,000 acres of land re-
main to be surveyed.
