He is the man who built the Rio

men laughed the very idea to scoru.
He constructed that marvel of railroad
engineering and he built the remark

years ago made his home in Pueblo
where he was heavy property holder.
The old De Remer opera house, de-
stroyed by fire some years ago, was
built by him and for many years was
the chief playhouse in Southern Col
orado.
During his work as civil engineer
he planned and executed wonderful
pieces Of engineering which stand to-
day in various parts of the state as
monuments to his name.

Mr.. Mackenzie is very enthusiastic
over the future of the Springfield

that they are destined to become one
Of the biggest copper producers In the

MUCH GOOD HAS BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED RY LEAGUE

That the Civic Improvement League,
organized here last winter for the pur-
pose of stimulating a stronger public
spirit in relation to municipal cleanli-
ness and Improvement, has accomp-
lished much in the matter of arousing
. civic pride and in formulating plans
for a city beautiful, none will deny.
but just how much work of a tangible
character has been done comparative
" few people are aware.
During the past four months the
League has spent more than thous-
and dollars. every cent Of which has
been we'll invested. A large part of
this expense was for laying water
pipes in front of the penitentiary park
which 1t is intended to convert into
beautiful pleasure ground. OF the
more than two hundred shade trees
planted under the auspices of the
League in the park alluded to last
spring all but very few of them are
growing and in few years trans
formation will have taken place that
will be in pleasing contrast with the
barreness that has heretofore existed
there.
Aside from its own work, which has
been both physical and evangelistic,
the League was the means of securing
from Warden Cleghorn gang of con-
victs to supplement the efforts of the
city council in keeping the streets
clean of weeds and rubbish and in
Strengthening the irrigating bitches in
the residence portions of the city.
This fact alone entities the League to
the gratitude of the public.
Margaret Park in the northern part
Of the city has been leveled and seeded
to grass at the instance of the League
and is destined to become one of the
beauty spots of that part of town.
portion of the City Gardens on First
street has undergone an almost magi-
cal transformation from the same
source and the work of reclamation
and change still goes on. One Of the
plans of the League is to build an at
tractive bridge across the mill ditch
and redeem the waste land between 1t
and the railroad tracks from the air
Of abandonment which 1t now wears
The so-called City Gardens have been
for several years an eyesnre. but under
the direction of the League they prom
Use to blossom as the rose.
The League has arranged with the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad to run
= moonlight excursion to the Royal
Gorge and return next Friday night
for the purpose of replenishing its
treasury. which has necessarily be-
come depleted in consequence OF the
demands upon 1t and 1t should receive
a generous patronage at the hands of
the public. The League has done a
commendable work during the last few
months in awakening public spirit
in relation to keeping clean the streets
and alleys of the city and in the plant
ing of shade trees and flowers.
The League has large plans for the
future and will not be content until
the community in which we live has
indeed become city beautiful" Next

year its members hope that the city
council will levy small park tax,
which it has perfect right to do un-
der its statutes and that public sub
scriptions for carrying on its mission
will be no less generous than they
were last spring. The work OF the
League is apparent to all and they are
willing to let 1t speak for itself

has been a gain of 81 per cent. in two
years. 1t is not possible that this ear

point where we shall have as many as
we can comfortably accommodate, espe-
ciallv in the college. The great advant-
age in numbers viii be that we can ex-
ereise a process of selection in those we
take and those we keep. As we in

ANNUAL REPORT Of

Oahu College and Its Year of Unexampled
Prosperity-.-Some Administrative Susges.
tons by Executive of the School.

The following is the annual report of
President A. T. Griffths, to the Trustees
Of Oahu College, for the school year
ending June 80, 1906:
To the Board of Trustees of the Oahu
College.
Gentlemen: l submit to you my
fourth annual report covering the school
year 1905-1906. 1t consists very largely
of the reports of the teachers and the
summary Of conditions made by your
president which were presented to you
at the joint meeting held in May. This
report contains also some additional in
formation in the form of tables of sta
tistics and comments on noteworthy
conditions
We have been working this year with
the smallest possible teaching force.
All Of the teachers have had their time
well filed. The pressure has, of course,
come at the close of the year when ex
ira classes for college preparatory stu
dents are necessary. Next year, if our
plans for new teachers carry successful
Iy, the work on the individual teacher
particularly in the college ought to be
materially lessened. I shall be glad to
have this so as it will give the teachers
not only time for more thorough work
but also opportunity for the perform
ance of so many of the extras which
contribute so largely to the successful
running of the school.
It is my plan to have the teachers
have as many points of contact with
the pupils as possible. It works to the
advantage of both. The teachers who
enter most into the life of the students
are the ones who, other things being
equal, have most influence with the
students as individuals and as a student i
body This close association with the |
students has long prevailed in athletics !
where it has been good for all concern
ed. Ny plans are now to extend this
system in all expedient ways. The dra-
matte club is beginning, as are the
volunteer classes in Parliamentary Law
and Debating. and the excursions afield
IN Science. The faculty have formed
teams and played the regular school
.eams in various sports usually with
disastrous results as far as the score
vas concerned, but with beneficial re-
'ults as far as the establishing of cor
lial relations is concerned. I am glad
o be able to report most harmonious
-ear with cases of discipline few and
and with teachers working
quite generally in accord with the stu
Tents and among themselves. D

BOARDING DEPARTMENT.

WINGED that the boarding departing Mt
takes larger share of my time than
is good l use time on small details in
it that might much mdre prohtably be
employed in larger enterprises. These
details, of course, should not be neglect
ed, but they might well be in the hands
of some of the other teachers. Other
departments of the college can profta-
bly, receive more attention; new work
can be undertaken and larger interest
in public enterprises can be shown.

their courses. This, as Won know, Is al
eminently desirable condition.
The preparation under my direction
by Miss Florence Hall of list of al
the students who have attended Puma
hou and of all the teachers trustees
and officers who have served the institu-
tion will put in our hands a body of
valuable information. This and the re-
formation of the Alumni Association
may be and should be the beginning of
the use of the influence and strength of
our large body of former students to-
wards the further up-building of Puma
hou.
The course of study is now in a most
satisfactory condition. We are offer
ing great variety of courses, and are
preparing for any college or university
in the United States. We are also Civ
ing excellent courses for those who do
not go to college. I wish again 10 re-
fer to the great demand that we have
for trained stenographers. We could
easily secure positions for ten Or twelve
boys a year. Next year we shall be
prepared to give them the,b best possible
instruction
I wish again to refer to the PROPOSE
ton which l have discussed somewhat
informally with the Buildings and
Grounds Committee OF transferring the
dairy to the mauka Manoa lot There
we shall be able to maintain a dairy,
piggery, hennery, fruit and vegetable
gardens at a minimum expense. The
milk and produce can be brought to the
college by a wagon which will carry
back swin and refuse for feeding pigs
and other animals. The proposition
waits on the finishing of the govern
ment road and the securing of a right of
way to it.

LIBRARY.

As we proceed with our plans for the
library, we should bear in mind the i'm
, portanee of planning broadly. The
plans of construction should provide for
maximum of convenience in the use
of the building by the students and by
the public. The development of the
library itself should be along broad
lines. The collection of books eventual
" should be well-rounded and compare
lively complete for our purposes. 1t
should also contain collections that will
make the library unique. A system
should early be established for the
selection and purchase of books so that,
even if our purchases are not large, they
should be well considered.
Punahou's duty to the town is some
thing that may well weigh in our eoun-
sells. Wherever we can, I believe we
should contribute to the intellectual
