fact that the bulk OF the range cattle

desirable killing qualities of cattle
that have been fattened on cured

The establishment of this system

have discouraged and ruined all but
the bravest and most resourceful.
It was we'll in hand when the troll
ley system required that the single
telephone wires should be doubled to
metallic circuits and the switch
boards reconstructed to meet the new
method of connecting subscribers

currents for lighting and power
transmission raised more complex
problems to obviate the noise which
these currents imposed upon these
delicate instruments. The first long

third Of the income as their price
for maintaining this existing plant
in operative condition. The accom-
plishment of this great work has
been possible only BECAUSE the public
learned that this was cheaper
than any other approximate method
OF communication, for the operations
of trade require as voluntary actions
as that of the proverbial horse when
led to water. It has been estimated
that the average distance of a local
telephone usage is two and quarter
miles and long distance comm
cation 40 miles; and on this basis
the distance traversed by these con-
versat1ons in one direction was over
forty-tive million miles in the United
States per day last year, but If the
equal distance covered by the replies
were considered, it would double the
distance to that of the vast space
separating the sun from the earth.
No one can estimate the miles of
travel or the years of time which are
thus liberated to..directly productive
applications, but logic of figures
aside, this economic elm mination of
waste must accrue to the resources
Of the civilized human race.
AS the development of the steam
engine attracted people from the
country to the cities, this applica-
tion of electricity is tending to cause
a reversal of the flow of population.
Useful as the telephone may be in
the cities, it is then a competitor
with other means of communication
whether it be by mail, messenger or
the convenient trolley, but in the
spasely settled agricultural distri cts
it is without a competitor.
1t brings the farmer in touch with
the city markets for the sale of his
produce without the usury of the
middleman. Isolated neighbors are
brought to speaking distance. It
summons help in the hazards of fire
and serves to call the family physi-
clan. This public utility pertains to
the interests OF all and the questions
of its relations to the com unity is
the last of the many problems which
the American people have solved in
a just and equitable manner.
The intricacy of the electrical
engineering problems and the CON-
plexity Of methods Of administra-
tion, inevitable with the lnstan

BOAT HOUSE
FOR X. r. G.

The plans for the fine boat house to
be built for the Kunalu Rowing Club,
the young ladies' aquatic association,
are now finished. Charles D. Walker,
of the Walker Boat Works is the archi-
tect and the design he has prepared
for the club house is for an important
and picturesque addition to the boat
houses on the Naval Reserve side of the
harbor.
The building, which is to go up be-
tween Young Bros and the Myrtle
club house. will have a Japanese effect
with conceived fancy rooftree and
overhanging caves. Its size, as shown
on the plans, will be 55x30 feet. two
stories in height. On the lower floor
are to be arranged accommodations for
storing the four large boats of the club.
the oar lockers and paraphernalia
closets. On this floor. also, are bath
rooms, dressing rooms and clothes
lockers.
For the social hall above the Japanese
style has been adopted, the room being
open on the water side, with diamond
shaped windows let in on the mauka
wall. From the plan, which has been
approved of and adopted, the ladies
of the Kunalu will have one of the
prettiest and contest club houses along
the waterfront.

HART AGAIN
A WINNER
Captured the Skating
Prizes Last
Night.

Major Hart made a record for
himself by winning both the open
races skated at the Queen street rink
last night, coming in an easy first in
both events. The first race was a test
of skill in spearing Irish potatoes with
stick and depositing them in a guIhly
sack, about a score of Murphies being
allowed each contestant and distribute
ed along the course over which he had
to skate. What some of the racers
didn't know about the elusive qualities
of the humble spud was a heap and
the crowd had a lot of fun watching
the attempts of the boys on skates.
Hart, who made haste slowly found
the winning way, B. Sumner scoring
second
But if the crowd laughed at the po-
tato Washers, they roared at the antics
Of the seven contestants in the OBJ
stacle race. Seven men trying to
crawl through one barrel at the same
time and each one in considerable
hurry is an excuse for smiling, and
the smiles last night were loud and
deep. j. McCandless followed Hart
home for second place in this race.
The third heat in the relay race will
be skated next Wednesday, and chill
dren's races are on the bill for Satur
day morning.

SAYS RACE TRACK
WOULD PAY HERE

No, there are no horses being
trained in Honolulu for the Hilo meet"
said Jim Quinn, one of the very few
left of the old crowd that speeded their
own horses and backed their own sta
bles to a finish in the balmy days of
the Jockey Club. There are some good
ones still in the town, but until we have
a track to work on there will be little
done in the race line in Honolulu. AS
for the meet here on June 18th and
then took them over to the big island
meet for the Fourth. But when we had
to tear down the stables in the Park
and the track went to pieces it knocked
the whole works. I tell you. the Jockey
Club meeting was the big thing in the
city in those days.
I'VE had the right kind of sports
then, men who loved the game and had
the money to keep it up. Now the rich
fellows here are too busy figuring on
sugar stock to have any time for rae
ing stock. But, let me tell you that
a good race course would be paying
proposition right here again. 1t would
cost about thirty thousand to buy the
ground and put it into shape, and the
horsemen now couldn't handle it, but it
would pay all right. If we had known
the County Act was going to come so
soon we wouldn't have lost our hold on
the track at the park" and the big
sigh was only checked when the helpers
led in the string from the Cooper ranch
for inspection.

A CHALLENGE
TO SULLIVAN

kid Woods, of the old Manhattan
Athletic Club, of San Francisco, is in
Honolulu looking for a match with
Dick Sullivan. Woods has had a long
ring experience and comes here fresh
from his triumphs in the Philippines,
where he has, during the past two
years, been given the decision in four
teen events. He fights in the welter-
weight class and wants to add the
welterweight championship of Hawaii
to his collection.
That he will be accommodated in the
matter of a match is most probable.
Sullivan, when seen, professed his
fighter and meeting between the two
will be brought about this week, when
the articles for the match viii be
agreed on.
Should there be no hitch in the ar
engagements Huihui will assist Woods
in his training. Huihui has already
done little work with the new man
arii states that in him Sullivan will
find his match.
Joe Silva is also a challenger who
wants to hang Sullivan's scalp out to
dry. In fact THE Demon is pressing
for a chance to get back into the ring
and Sullivan is just as willing to give
him the chance. The San Francisco
lad will meet them all, and names the
first week in June as his choice of
dates
