PAU PARADE
On MONDAY
The Riders Expect to
Have a Very Big
Turnout.

| The Association of Pau Riders
| otherwise known as the Hui HoIopa-l
Male Ali, is making great prepara
| tions for its parade of Pau riders or
| Monday, June H. This society was
| formed by Mrs. Kaimana Puahi and
| others interested in the preservation OF
| the old Hawaiian manner of horseback
riding with the picturesque pau imme-
Washington s birthday. of which pa
rade the pau riders formed one of the
most attractive features. The ladies
have since devoted much time TO prac-
tice, and to the making of appropriate
dresses and have been helped by the
members of the Promotion Committee,
by Manager Charles Crane of the Ha-
waiian Gazette Co. and by many others,
to all of whom the members of the Hui
Holopa-u Maile Ali wish to return
their most sincere thanks.
Because Of this help, and by reason
of their own efforts, the Pau riders
expect to have a larger turnout on Mon
day than they had even on Washing
ton s birthday, and no pains will be
spared to make the celebration of Ka
mehameha day one of the most notable
ever held in Honolulu.

poses to Give the
Voters Chance.

The election precinct bull has been
taken by the horns by Governor
Carter.
Notices were sent out from the Gov
ernor's office last March asking for
suggestions from the various parties
as to changes that should be made in
precinct lines to enable all voters to
cast their ballots, and to cast them in
the most convenient way. There was
nothing done about it by the party men
until May, following, and the COR
respondence in the Governors office
does not show that as far as the island
of Oahu is concerned, the party leaders
have expressed themselves in the mat
ter beyond saying that they want the
precincts let alone.
There was something of a stir about
this matter, it will be remembered
while Governor Carter was away, when
the Republican County Committee
jumped upon Acting Governor Atkin-
son for changing the precinct lines so
troll of their voters; and then awoke
to the discovery that Mr.. Atkinson had
done nothing of the kind, that in fact
he had done nothing at all. and the
committee had to meet in special ses-
sion and eat dirt, taking it all back and
apologiziug to Atkinson.
HANGING IN THE AIR.
Since that time, the matter has hung
in the air the fact, however. remain
ing that some of the precincts on Oahu
had too many voters In them. and
some of them had very few. Acting
Governor Atkinson did arrange precinct
lines on the other island, and the work
was done to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned.
II propose to see that every man Is
given a chance to cast his vote, said
Governor Carter yesterday. There are
but $40 minutes, 1 believe, in an cleo
ton dav. and the precincts should be
so adjusted that not more than five

STREET CARS FOR BAKER.
Electric System Now Promised to Ba-
ker City This Year.

1t is a sure thing that the Baker
City electric street railway will be
built this season, says the Baker City
Democrat.
It's a surer thing than an electric
belt railway in connection with the
street railway will be built from the
city westerly through the Pocahontas,
Rock Creek and Highland mining dis
tricts, covering as well the rich farm
ing sections In that direction around
through Haines and back into Baker
City by way Of the wealthy agricul-
tural sections in lower Powder.
There is money in the belt railroad
az the offset. To handle by two or
tasaa trains a day the supplies for the
mines the output u the mines. ths n,
butter. eggs. cheese. poultry vegeta.
bles and other small freight Of the
farmers, besides passengers IN every
direction. means a large. growing and
profitable business at minimum cost.
To build the road will not require the
expenditure of great capital, and the
convenience to the public will more
than offset the profits, while the up
building of the country, the mining
districts and the increase In popula-
tion will mark an era in Baker coun-
ty which will be red letter day.
The Democrat is not talking hot air.
but its statements are based on facts
guaranteed by well known business
men who are in close connection with
eastern capital anxious to invest in
Baker county.
Add to this the fact that there will
be several steam railroads built in
Baker county during the next year or
two conflicting with this proposed
electric belt railroad and there is a
combination which means an unpre-
cedented prosperity.
The Eagle Valley railroad. the old
Northwest railroad, the rtimored con-
struction here of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul. the new line up Catherine
creek. with the assured building of
the Natron-ontario line, the Bourne
Electric railroad, the Oregon and
Idaho. the extension of the Sunfpter
Valley into Harney. all means such
activity and business enterprises in
various allied lines as will make here
the capital of an empire greater than
the state of Rhode Island.

AGAINST BITUIITHIC.
Tacoma Says This Kind OF Paving Is
Not Satisfactory.

The Boise Statesman has investi-
gated the question of paving In the
cities of the northwest and receives
from Tacoma the first objection to
the bitulithic paving.
Tacoma has used the asphalt almost
exclusively In the past and is prejudice
ed against bitulithic as will be seen
from the following dispatch from that
city to the Boise Statesman of last
night:
Bitulithic paving has been tried on
three streets in this city. Four years
ago the contract was let for paving
- uelen's avenue and I street with
~. sAv
bituithIe maeadam. at Helen's ave-
nue. is slowly efumblihg TO pieces and
despite constant repairing will shert'
ly have to he repaved. ] street has
also proved disappointing and a por-
ton of Pacific avenue which was
paved with the same material two
years ago. has been repaired no less
than five times since. The repairs
are now being made with asphalt, the
bitulithic paving process having been
abandoned.
Commissioner of Public Works
owen Woods states that he would not
recommend bitulithic paving for any
street in this city. He said:
"Such a paving would be costly to
the property. inasmuch as it has been
round that the cost Of making the re.
pairs has more than exceeded the
cost OF laying an asphalt pavement.
1 consider the paving a failure be-
cause the city is compelled to work
all the time in keeping 1t up. The
composition Is not good. The prin-
cipal cause for its lack of durability
is found In the fact that the material
cannot be properly laid and when laid
its life Is not more than three or four
years
"Where the streets bear heavy
traffic the life of such pavement, as
has been found here. Is not more than
one year. I street will have to be
thoroughly overhauled and in my
opinion 1t will be necessary to tear off
the bitulithic top and put on an up
per dressing of asphalt. There will
be no further experiments in this city
with that line of paving"

SCRAP OVER RIGHT OF WAY.
Government to Take Hand In NORTH

From information received today
from reliable source, II appears that
the United States government is TAX
Ing hand in the contention between
rival railroad companies over the
right OF way down the north bank of
the Columbia river, which. in the
opinion OF railroad officials here, will
have important bearing on the result
Of the litigation now before the courts
Of this state. says a Portland dispatch.
The secretary Of the interior has
directed the register and receiver of
the Vancouver land office to call on
the Columbia Valley railroad company
to show cause why their rights Of way
over public land should not be for
feited for failure to construct a road
within the time limited by law.
In 1899 the Columbia Valley COM
pany filed papers under an act of
congress Of March 3, 1875, which gave
them right Of way over all the lands
then part of the public domain. The
law provides, however, that any COM
pany claiming benefit under this act
must construct railroad line within
five years.
The instructions Of the secretary Of
the Interior are that unless proof Of
construction is made that suit be in
stituted In the name of the United
States to adjudge forfeiture. The
