Ii. A. A. BUILDING
AS PROPOSED

The two chief topics of conversation
| up in the B. A. A. rooms at present {
concerns two things, the boys are very
much interested in at this time, very
different in nature but closely related
to each other. One is the minstrel
show and that is to help make possible
the other-the new B. A. A. building.
Some time ago the directors of the
Association instructed Herbert Moffett
to draw plans suitable for building
of this kind and now the plans have
been submitted to the boys for criti-
cism. and the general criticism seems
to be that Mr. Moffett seems to know
his business and just what the boys
desire in the way of a permanent
home. In other words the boys are
very much pleased with the drawings
and desire just such a home as Mr..
Moffett has outlined. Just a brief
idea of what the proposed building
will be like should the plans be &C.
cepted and the building erected
The building is of three stories,
built of brick and stone and of Spanish
design. On either side of the broad
hallway. which is in the center of
and running the full length of the
building, is store with spacious
windows in the front of the building
and half way down the hall, remind.
ing one somewhat of the Mint Arcade
of Philadelphia. The second floor is
taken up entirely by the Association
rooms. There you will find a nice
large parlor with broad window seats
at the front and one that can be fur
nished to advantage. The game room
will be large enough for five pool and
billiard tables besides shuttle board.
Two large coat rooms, toilet room and
kitchen are also on this floor. The
third floor is entirely used as large
auditorium with large stage, four
dressing rooms and seating capacity
for between five and six hundred peo.
pie. At one end also is small bal
cony. Movable seats will be placed
i'll this room so it can be used either
for dances, fairs, or theatrical perform
ances The gymnasium will be in a
one story building in the rear of and
connected with the second story of the
main building by an enclosed passage
way having an arched driveway be-
tween the two buildings. Such
home can readily be seen would be
credit to both the boys and the city
and it is to be hoped the boys can see
their way clear to erect such credit

A MASS MEETING

The several Improvement clubs that
are doing work in various parts of Ho-
nolulu have been asked to join with the
Promotion Committee in a great i'm
provement mass meeting to be held at
Y. NJ. c. A. Hall on Monday night
next at eight o'clock. Promotion work
pays, and the best kind of promotion
work is that done in the improvement
of the city, and the creation of the
town beautiful. At Monday nights
meeting the presidents of the improve
ment clubs will be asked to give five
minute talks on the purposes of their
organizations, and there will be
longer address by someone qualified to

ing this way and all who have the per-
manent prosperity of the city at heart
should put shoulder to the wheel and

GOOD FOR KIHEI.

Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd. agents
for Kihei Plantation Co., have an
nounced that they will take Up about
$4,000 of notes given by W. c. Achi,
Hawaii Land Co. and Kapiolani Es-
posted as collateral. A fear that this
stock would one day be thrown on the
market has kept Kihei shares down.
With an anticipated crop of 5000 tons
or more, it is expected that Kiheis
entire debt will be reduced to $40 600
at the end of this year. When it comes
to foreclosure on the collateral in ques-
ton, Alexander & Baldwin will bid
enough for it to return Kihei Planta-
ton Co. the face value of the notes
kihei is now at SO bid

Oh. SCUDDER ON
OUTLOOK ARTICLE
Honolulu. Jan. "a, 1906.

Jan. 15UO
Editor Advertiser: The article in
this mornings Advertiser, quoted from
the Argonaut, is good, racy reading
and was to be expected from such an
ardent exponent of California anti
Asiatic feeling. There were one or two
Misrepresentation, as, for instance,
where a remark is attributed to the
Governor which the Outlook article
stated was made by some other official.
OF course the differences drawn by the
ArgOnaut as to inter-marrlages are en-
tirely gratuitous. They are not in the
Outlook article and were not in the
mind of the writer. In Hawaii a race
in an early stage of development has
been improved by the Chinese. In the
United States mainland we have not
only the aggressive highly evolved
white man, 81 finest product of the
ages but also a poIyglot of other
peoples ranging from this high level
down to those low in the scale of de-
velopment or who have sadly deterior-
ated The Chinese laborer there now
intermarries with some of the latter.
Just what the effect has been I have
not been on the ground to study, but
4AS'S
anything like an intimate knowledge
of these families testified that the
children were a remarkably bright set
of youngsters. The suggestion of the
article in the Outlook is that the
Chinese laborer might prove a distinct
gain in toning up some of these ele-
ments in our population. 1t was
thrown out as a mere hint for further
scientific study. The question should
not be suffered to degenerate into a
debate along the lines of race preju-
dice, but needs the careful investiga-
ton of social scientists. In a nutshell
the contention of the Outlook article
in this particular may be put thus:
The Chinaman has improved the Ha-
waiian stock by intermarriage there
fore he may do the same for other peo-
pie of undeveloped possibilities or even
for those of deteriOrated stock. 1t is a
question worthy of serious considera-
tion in the United States where many
of these classes are found.' Your edi-
torial in sensing this hit the nail on
the head. DOREMUS SCUDDER.

Year edition, spoke of the coming tc
Southern California of the first install
ment of the Molokan families as per-
haps the beginning of the most signif1-
cant emigration movement in the his
| tory of the State. The Times said that
| there would be sixteen thousand OF
these people to follow the first move
| ment to Los Angeles, and commented
very favorably upon the gain that
their coming would be to the State.
Hawaii has cut in ahead of Los An
geles, and if the Molokan experiment
here is a success, there is little doubt
that these sixteen thousand people will
find their future home in the Terri
tory. The advance guard of the Molo-
signed to come to this Territory and
take homesteads on lands on Kauai,
number one hundred and fifty families
They are peaceful, law-abiding people,
who have left Russia because of the
tyranny of the government, and who
ask only for chance to work for their
living and make their own footing good
1t will be remembered that agents
for them visited Honolulu some months
ago, to spy out the land. They were
looking, they said, for some kind of |
Land of Promise which their reIig-
ion taught them would be given them, |
where they would be free from gov !
ernmenta1 tyranny, where the soil |
and climate would be good and where !
they could live their own lives in their !
own way, at peace with their neigh |
bors and infringing no mans rights. |
The agents of the Molokans expressed |
themselves, t that time, as highly |
pleased with the Territory.
This one of them is reported to
have said, and that one the leader, els
the Land of Promise, at last, L be- |
lieve"
And so, when Land Commissioner
Pratt and L. A Thurston went to ne
gotiate with the Molokans, they found
the way prepared for them, in meas
here, in fact, We're impressed with the |
in various ways. OF course |
they called upon Governor Carter, and |
Of course they went to him in a man
ner prepared to do as they would have !
done in Russia in calling upon a gov
ernor. Hawaii was different, although |
it took the Molokans a little time to |
realize it. The first question that the |
leader asked Governor Carter, when
they had been introduced, was this !
What taxes will we have to pay |
here?"
Being answered that they would pay !
at the same rate as other residents. |
and told about what that would |
amount to, the leader asked:
What military service will we be |
subjected tor
The answer to that question pleased !
the envoy more than the other, be- |
cause military service in Russia had |
been compulsory upon every man. To !
find land where people were only call |
ed to fight when there was fighting to |
do was something most wonderful, al |
most past belief.

To REDEEM
WA|PAHU
A Device for Purifying
the Presidential
Village.

An ingenious plan for retaining
Waipahu village, on the borders of Oahu
Sugar Co s plantation, from the con
| dition of a pestilential hole is being
designed
E G. Keen, inspector of buildings,
plumbing and house sewers for the
Board of Health, has the designs in
hand, yet modestly disclaims the sole
inventor s credit therefor.
It is proposed to treat the sluggish
stream along which the insanitary ten
ements are ranged with a system COM
bining a filter, a settling tank and a
sludge siphon. BY means of this sys-
tenn the stream will be purified and the
sludge transformed into fertilizing ma
terial. The water is to pass through a
lime filter and the sludge to be caught
in a tank with capacity of about
10000 gallons. From the bottom of
the tank the sludge will be siphoned to
the surface and sold as fertilizer
Part of the system is Vshaped
f1ume, fed by the stream, to carry |
household refuse away at the rear of
the tenements.
Mr.. Keen was not prepared to state
whence the cost of the system was to
come, or whether it was to be a Board
Of Health or a county charge. Any
thing, at all events, will be a public
blessing which will eliminate Waipahu
from the category of places that spoil
Honolulu s bills of health. The little
village, though twelve or fourteen
miles away from the city and port,
has been for long time one of Homo
ulu's worst sore spots in quarantine
