but in that short time brought about o
pleasant reference to what Is usually
uppermost in the mind of the people,
what the army is doing for us. In this
connection he said II stood for about
s1OO, 900 year in supplies and with the
representative Of the Congressional dis
trict asking for the needed improve
ments from time to time there was no
reason why, with the excellent climate,
II should not amount to more. He be
lieved that given the money, a fort, that |
would be q world beater, could be built /
here and he hoped the money would !,
come.
Our Strategic Position.
Captain Lyon, commandant Of the
local station, responded for THE |
Navy" He exemplified the adage that
! fighters are not extended orators but |
when they do speak 1t is to the point. |
He briefly reviewed the division Of
opinion in the country as to the advis-
ability of extending the territorial pos.
sessions. Fertilization Of the Philip
pines makes II necessary that Hawaii
shall be also fortified as an important
link in the chain. When the Panama
canal is opened then will the import.
ance Of Pearl Harbor be brought home
to all with compelling force. Capt,
| Lyon closed with wishing the business
delegation well in its effort to aid
the setting aside 75 per cent Of our local
Federal revenues for expenditure on
Federal work.

When the POSTMASTER called on Jack
Lucas to respond for the County Of
Oahu" the response of the banqueters
indicated an anticipation Of something
good-and they got II. He reviewed
some Of the incidents of the County law
and some Of the troubles Of the Super.
yisors. He told how much the Terri.
tory was saddling of on them and
gloried in the record that every good
work offered 20 the county was COM
pleted. This rule would apply to the
Pail contract whether done by a rela-
tive OF his or not After Lucas was
seated he was called on by prolonged
applause to continue his speech, which
he did in Hawaiian.
The Elder Brother.
Fred J. Lowrey made very finished
speech for the Chamber of Commerce"
II was looked upon as the conservative
organization OF the city but bore no
ill.will toward the younger and per.
haps more energetic Merchants Asso.

both organizations might be improved
by joining their forces in one body.

proved that he could In a ten.minute
talk he tersely reviewed the great work
tor development and progress that has
been done in neighboring cities OF the
coast. He believed the $4,000 that
has been invested in Hawaii promotion
has been well invested and expended to
good advantage.
Alder Of Good Works.
I The response TO THE Press" fell to
w. X. Harrington. He felt that after
the elaborate oratory of Jack Lucas II
was fitting for others to apologize for
their existence when essaying speech.
Taking as a text the Latin sentence.
IAN Gaul is divided into three parts"
he divided the press Of the islands into.

, colt, and others. He told OF the days
when previous to the organization of
the Merchants Association men had
come from the session OF the Chamber
OF Commerce and asked the press to
rip some OF the bell.mares OF the
Chamber up the back, but they wanted
the press to do all the fighting without
