ANOTHER ATTRACTION
FOR THE BENEFIT
MANAGER ADAMS OF THE zoo
HAS LOANED HIS VAUDEVILLE
ARTISTS.

When one stops to think of all that
Guy Livingston has done for the public
on the stage in this place he will not
be surprised to see the Opera House
crowded on next Thursday and Satur-
day evenings, when the Livingston
benefit is put on. The object is a
worthy one and the public owe a debt
to Guy that can now be paid by liberal
ly patronizing the show.
And there is no doubt but that the
show will be worth going to. A chorus
of fifty voices has been trained to the
minute by Jimmie Dougherty and E.
L. Cutting The boys sing exceptional
ly well and have been fortunate in OBJ
tanning a bunch of songs that are hard
to equal All of the late ones will be
heard. There will be a number Of
solos by Honolulu's favorte soloists
and the selections that they sing are
very happily selected.
Then there is another attraction
which has just turned up. Manager
Adams of the Zoo has a couple of
clever coons doing a stunt and he has
the benefit and they will appear in a
clever turn of their own. These men
are lately from the coast and they do
a few up to date tricks that are well
worth seeing as it is seldom that clever
vaudeville artists wanter this way.
This turn should prove a great drawing
card.
On the end remember there is Bob
White, Walter Doyle, Guy Livingston,
William WEIGH, Al Moore aside from
Jimmie DOugherty and Hasty Rowland
in the circle
Box Office opens al Wall Nichols &
Co. on next Monday morning. Adj
vance seats are on sale now at several
of the downtown stores. The benefit
will be given twice. August 8 and IL.
Next Thursday and Saturday nights.

GOOD FIGHT
ON FOR TONIGHT
BOTH OF THE BIG MEN ARE
TRAINED TO THE MINUTE
FIGHT WILL BE A GOOD ONE.


The fight tonight promises much il
the way of sport for the fight fans
There is no longer any doubts but that
the fight will be of the highest class
and one that will bring delight both to
the lovers of the punch and the lovers
of the cleverness.
Morch has the punch and McFadden
has the cleverness and there you are.
There will be something doing every
minute until one or the other f.,
knocked out. Some are thinking that
the fight will go to an end and the de-
csion will be a draw,
The prelims are all shaping up in
great shape and there Is no doubt but
that the youngsters will mix a few
last rounds to the delight of all.
Spider Welch of San Francisco will
be introduced to the crowd He will
referee the second prel;n. 1t is said
that he will challenge Dick Sullivan to
fight from the ring tonight.

MAKEE SUGAR CO,
AND TAXES
(From the Garden. 1sland.)

(F'rOm the Garden Island)
At the meeting of the Supervisors
last week the failure of the Makee Su-
ar Co. to pay taxes due on the assess
ment compromised on was forcibly
brought home to ALL and many were
the speculations INDUCED in by Won
dering public, as to ehe cause given by
the corporation for such action. Mo-
body seemed to know positively.
1t now transpires that the sugar
company offered to pay half of the
taxes, or the part that was due at the
time of the first ha't-ysarly pay day.
The Assessor informed them that there
was still a matter of $500 due as pen
atty. This latter claim was consd-
cred groundless by the corporation and
it was therefore decided not to pay
anything at all until forced to it by
the courts.

outside dependency Of the nation.

outside dependency OF the nation. =
That the commercial interests OF the
east, II not Its statesmen, are alive to
the desirabilIty of promoting the settle
ment and internal improvement Of the
west, is shown by tie very oomprehen-
sive action taken recently by the Ma
| tional Board of Trade in Washington,
powerful association, composed or
representatives from most Of the great
commercial bodies of the United States.
The organization represents combined
capital of billions OF dollars employing
several hundred thousand workers: 1t
has been strong factor In urging
legislation on various important In
ternal works; 1t was the first Of the
,, great commercial bodies of the East
to advocate the passage of the national
irrigation law and it has regular
standing committee on forestry and
irrigation.
The report of the organization this
year Is most interesting and reads as
follows -
1t is gratifying to note that much
Of the legislation on Forestry and Ir-
rigation matters which has been con-
sistently urged by the National Board
Of Trade has been enacted Into law.
The National Board was the first Or
ganization representing the CONNER
cial interest of the whole country to re-
commend a national irrigation policy
and June II. 1909 a National Irri-
CATION law was enacted. There Is in
the Irrigation Fund at tho present
time about $30.000.000 which is in
creasing from the sale of public lands
at the rate Of at least. $3.00O,000 4
year.
In the matter of Forestry legislation
the National Board of Trade recon-
mended the passage Of the bill pro-
viding for the consolidation Of tho
various forestry branches of the
try OF the Department of Agriculture.
This bill was enacted into law at the
last session of Congress.
The National Board Of Trade has
stood against the practice Of exchang-
ing worthless "scrip" land In the
national forest reserves for valuable
public lands outside of the reserves
and has repeatedly recommended the
repeal OF the law permitting this prac-
tice. This law was repealed ut the last
session of Congress.
At the last meeting Of the National
Board, opposition was expressed to
what was known as the GAO Acre Home
stead bills-increasing the homestead
entry In parts of South Dakota, Colo
RADIO and In Montana from 160 acres to
GAO acres; these bills were all defeated
at the last session of Congress.
Much, however. remains to be done.
The National Board of Trade has con-
sistently advocated the saving of the
great public domain for the use Of the
real homemaker as against the land
and timber grabber and tho speculator.
Trade and commerce will Increase as
population Increases, and our National
land policy should be administered to
preserve our remaining half billion
acres of public lands for those who will
build homes upon them. As laws which
tend to overcome this policy the Ma
tional Board has continuously. since
It's meeting In January, 1902. urged the
repeal of the Timber and Stone Act.

zone Of the greatest difficulties IN
art" remarked critic, " is to get ones
facts right, and for this you have to
go not to art, but to the people who
understand the things represented.
Il received my first lesson in this
direction when. as a youth. I painted
coast scene with ship In the fore
ground. 1t was highly praised by all
who saw it, with the exception Of an
old seaman, who, when he examined
the rigging. politely turned aside to
conceal his amusement. No ship, he
explained, could possibly have gone to
sea with the ropes and tackle arranged
as In my picture. So had to humble
myself to learn to draw reeving-
blocks, shrouds. yards, and other por-
tions Of a ships rigging as they really
are.
But 1t is not always possible to be
true to fact.
Take. for instance. a typical picture
which represents a herd Of self-deny-
ing cattle grazing in a meadow where
the herbage is of the scantiest, while
near at hand are unprotected fields OF
grain into which they could walk at
will. Why did not the painter include
in his picture the fences which ac-
tually surrounded the corn fields?
Simply because they would have spoilt
the composition, and consequently
reality had to be sacrificed to the de-
mands of art"
