NEXT SHOW
OF POULTRY

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Poultry Association was held last night
at the office of Will. +. Fisher, Fort
street, and the reports indicated that
the first year of its existence has been
a fortunate and hattering one. The
success of the poultry show last fall.
II was shown, has created a desire to
breed fine poultry and there is con-
siderable rivalry in the city and coun-
try
The election of officers resulted as
follows: President, w. Il. Wall: vice

C. Brown, p. L. Weaver.
The old board of officers was given
a vote of thanks for their excellent
services during the year just finished.
Discussion over the date for holding
the next poultry show was introduced
by II. c. Brown. He thought 1t might
be wise to begin agitating the matter
early in the year so that poultry ralsers
could lay their plans accordingly and
prepare for the exhibit.
was Just the month to hold the show.
At the last show many of the best
breeds of birds were not full-feathered,
he said.
Other members did not agree with
Mr.. Seabury on this point. j. j. Green,
a veteran poultry-raiser, stated that
on the mainland poultry shows were
held in various months but principally
in November So far as the condition
of Honolulu birds was concerned Mr..
Green said that they began to moult
as early as April and May. With care
they could be carried through their
moultlng season quickly and success
fully and would be ready to show at
the end of the year. Birds Matched at
this season of the year should be large
enough and in excellent condition by
December TO make a good showing.
Personally, Mr.. Green said he favor
ed show in the early part of Janu-
airy. He said that there was a gener-
al opinion among fanciers that the last
show was held a trfe too early. He
suggested TO save the year 1906 In the
annals OF the association, December

ed January. Harold Jeffs favored the
old date-December. One member
stated II was unwlse to hold the show
just after Christmas as people had lit
tie money just then for shows. The
show should be either just before
Christmas or good while afterward.
Mr. Fisher agreed with this statement.
He favored a date just before Christ

lAUKEA FOR
SUPERVISOR

1t is whispered by those who know
what is to the fore in politics that
Colonel Curtis +. 1aukea has develop
ed an ambition TO sit in the Board Of
Supervisors of Oahu county, and that
it would square with his ideas to bo
the Democratic nominee for Supervisor
at-Large
And that will be sad blow to the
scholars in the little Lane Sunday
school class, because Colonel Iaukea is
pretty big fsh-big enough 10 gobble
up most anything he wants that his
party has to give.
This will be surprise, it may be,
to many persons who had supposed
that Colonel laukea had outgrown the
Supervisor class-but public duty is
public duty, and man can do that in
the Board OF Supervisors as well as In
Congress. Sometimes he can do il bet
ter although, alas for the frailty of
poor human nature, he doesn u, at all
times.
Anyway, Colonel Iaukea has prob
ably considered the thing pretty thor
oughly. The conclusion that he has
reached, it is said, is that matters arr
so shaping themselves this time that
it begins to look like Kuhio for every
thing, and the rest nowhere.

Speaking of Sheriifs, the Board of
Health would seem TO have the Sheriff
of Oahu county in corner gasping for
breath in this matter of the confrma-
tion of the appointment of Market In
spector Rathburn The only place that
Rathburn has not given satisfaction in

and that is pretty high certificate of
character But it has hit the Brown
machine about the hardest Jolt il has

declaration that there is no politics in
tho Rathburn appointment,
A lot of politics is doing among the
Democrats these days, and Achi is their
bugaboo, too, although they do not set
him up in high places and then indus
triously run away from him, as the
Lane little fellows do. Not at all.
They suffer in silence, mostly.

AN OFF YEAR GAME.

We'll, then, Colonel Iaukea naturally
argues that he has been up against the
game before. and has not found 1t
profit him. 1t liz n pretty stiff game, In
an Off year especially. Things are apt
to be mighty different in Presidential
years-especially in the coming Pres
idential year. Matters political on the
mainland are shaping themselves some
what peculiarly, even now. And, like
all good Democrats, the Colonel per-
haps argues and certainly hopes that
the Democrats will elect the next Pres
ident.
Electing the next President, it will
be comparatively easy for them to car
ry along the Delegate from this small
Territory ON the tidal wave. And there
you are.
The Craftsmanship of the Oahu Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors for the next
couple of years would afford a COM
Portable perch from which to fish for
the bigger game-and would afford
standing room at the same time for the
foundation of nice, workable little
machine
This will be sad reading for the
little Lane chaps. For, if Colonel Iau-
kea wants the nomination for Super
visor at Large, it is very plain that
Brother Abraham Fernandez cannot
have it. And if Brother Abraham Fer
| nandez cannot have it, it follows that
he cannot beat out Adams at the polls
by the help of the Sunday school class.
And If Col. Iaukea beats out Adams,

THE FAST TRAIN DANGER.
Great Defect of American Railroa dino
Is the Frequency Of
Accidents.

There is still another aspect of the
high speed train that deserves word
OF notice here, and that is the effect of
example, says the Engineering News.
The New York Central and Pennsyl-
vania set the pace. and a good many
ether railway companies are likely to
attempt to follow 1t to the extent OF
speeding up their crack trains to a
faster schedule. We have no com.
mendation for this latest time reduce
ton on these track line roads. but
they are better equipped to run trains
safely at 20 miles an hour than some
ether roads at so miles an hour.
The great defect Of American rail-
roading to-day is not low speed. 1t
Is too frequent accidents Most Amer
lean railway trains are run at quite as
high speed as the existing track, roll
ing stock and signal systems Justify
Ii money is to be spent for improved
service, let 1t be in making travel
safer. So far as increased speed is
concerned. the travelling public as a
whole will gain much more by greater
rromptness and regularity of train
movement and close adherence to time
tables than j will by spectacular feats
or fast running by. special trains.

GHOST OF BIG BULL TUNNEL
Hair-Raising Experience Of Train
men ON a Southern Railroad
Extension.

Il have heard some mighty weird
ghost stories in my life," said a Vir.
ginia RAILROAD man who reached town
day or SO ago. relates the Washing
ton Star, but the most ghostly has
been told me by persons of honest and
trustworthy character The story is
that Norfolk & Western trainmen
have recently heard some unearthly
sounds in Big Bull tunnel, which is
In the mountains Of Virginia not far
from the Kentucky line and on the
Clinch valley extension of the Norfolk
& Western road. The residents Of the
,neighborhood have talked about hair
raising noises long time, but the
railroad men did not want to yield to
these stories.
On the afternoon Of July II
freight train in charge of Capt. Cal
laway and Engineer Kerns stopped
just as the rear car cleared the tun-
mel. John Perry was the fagman and
he had to hasten back into the tunnel
to protect the train from collision.
But Peery did not stay long in the
/. hole. and wnen he reached the train
at the mouth he-declared he had heard
sounds in there which no human be-
ing could stand. He had the appear
ance of man badly scared, and Cal
!laway and Kerns went back into the
tunnel with him. When they reached
the point where Peery said he had
heard the sounds that ratified him the
trio stopped.
According to all three of the men
they did not have to wait long. They
say they never heard such groans as
those which proceeded from the side
Of the tunnel. which lis bricked. The
voice was that Of man apparently

SAW FIRST RAILWAY BORN.
Man Who Was Present When B. &
o.'s First spadefu of Earth
WAS Dug.

Born November 4, 1918. Just think
what that means! To have lived in
time when men wore rufled shirts
and laces. with breeches and pumps.
This is what William G. Clark, Of
st. Louis, can go back to, and his rec
objections of his childhood and boy
hood read like an old tale of the revo-
lutionary days, says the Denver News.
1T was only July 4, 1925" said he.
that l saw Charles Carroll, of Carroll
ton, dig the first spadeful of earth for
railroad. This was the first railway
built in this country. and Mr.. Carroll
took up the earth with small silver
spade. l see this spade, with the first
locomotives run on this road, at all
the expeditions that visit.
1T took them eight years to build
to Frederick City, which is so miles
out from Baltimore. They sent to
North Carolina Tor the wood to make
the ties, and these were inlaid or NOR
tised in the center w4th yellow pine.
On top of these carefully prepared ties
there were wooden rails held down by
wedges, and then on top of these were
iron rails one-half inch thick, two
inches wide and Is feet long.
when the road had been built out
IL miles to Ellicott City there were
cars put on which were pulled by three
or four horses each. These coaches
would hold about so people, and have
ridden in them many times
Then locomotives were introduced.
At this time the passenger coaches
were built with wheels that had spokes
and not one solid piece, as they are
now. They had found that the yellow
pine Of the ties was perishable, and
about 1880 to 1888 they began taking
out these and laid cut stone. and put
the rails fiat on to this foundation.
The spikes were put in and molten
lead poured in to make them firm in
the holes that had to be previously
cut into the stone to allow them to
enter. The company brought stone
cutters all the way from Massachusetts,
to do this work.
when they had laid about nine or
ten miles Of this stone foundation,
they found that running the coaches
over it broke the spokes Of the wheels
and SO It was discontinued. All Of
these things will sound strange
enough to people In this day and gen.
