STRANGER PRAISES THE
TOWNS CLEANLINESS

Hugh l.. Pilkington, a prominent
business man of st. Paul, Minnesota,
and an extensive Traveller throughout
North and South America, is a guest
at the Hawaiian hotel. Mr.. Pilkington,
although a recent arrival in Honolulu,
has already found much to praise here
and has made arrangements to remain
here with his wife for some months.
What particularly pleases me with
this city is it's cleanliness said Mr..
Pilkington yesterday. tsIn the ten
years in which I served in the navy
I visited a great many tropical and
semitropical cities, but I have seen
none where the streets and yards are
kept in as clean and sanitary condition
as those here. Even in your China
town the conditions are much better
than in the Chinatowns and slums of
our mainland cities.
You have one thing to contend with,
though, that is of great Importance in
view OF the boats that are to run be-
tween here and the Mexican ports
That is the mosquito question. I un-
derstand that steps have been taken
to keep down these pests, and the work
ought TO be kept up. If you ever get
the yellow fever started here it will be
a far greater calamity than any posi-
bic invasion of the Japanese, of which
so much is being said"
Mr.. Pilkington is veteran of the
Civil War and consequently takes a
great interest in the forebodings of
many over the gresent friction between
this country and Japan. He is of the
is groundless. The fact that so many
of the japanese laborers coming here
are soldiers he thinks signifies little.
After the great war in which Jap
an has been engaged, it is natural that
there would be many soldiers among
these immigrants he said. after our
Civil War, when the regiments were
the whole country was
flooded with soldiers. Practically ev-
cry man was soldier, and if there
had been any emigration from the Uni
ted States at that time, the majority
Of the outgoers would have been these
soldiers But that there is any ul-
terror motive in the japanese soldiers
here. ] do not believe

New York, January End, 1907
Mr.. E. B. Turner, us King street, Ho-
nolulu, H. 7.
My Dear Mr.. Turner: I desire to
acknowledge receipt of your communi-
cation of the 18th inst; / have noted
the contents.
/ would suggest that you call to7
gether'' all your clubs and form Ha-
waiian Islands Association of the A.
A. u, adopting the constitution which
/ herewith enclose, commencing on
page 122.
You must have four clubs. You must
elect fifteen members as a board of
managers; then elect your officers and
registration committee; your six dele
gates-at-large and six alternates to the
A. A. u. Then you, send to me an
application to create this new associa-
ton, and ] will take it up and submit
it to mail-vote, and it will be so
created.

tons of competition. / would suggest
that immediately when your reglstra-
ton committee is organized you rein
state all the athletes who competed on
the islands eliminating the rabid and
rank professionally, because, up TO
date, you all disqualified yourselves:
you were not registered, your games
were not sanctioned. l hope that you
follow me- with regard to this sub

HOW CAY PREPARED
HIS GOOD THING

Editor Advertiser: Of course Mr.
Gay couldn't grow anything on La
mai, despite the fact that the rainfall
there is three times what it is in
Southern California in a productive
year. Had he grown anything on the
island, that would have put the land
in the agricultural class and he would
have had to pay for it up the nose.
By keeping the land pastoral he got
the Government part for less than s.
an acre. 1t is undoubtedly the star
financial trapsaction of the year.

FUTURE OF SOMERS POINT

Dear EditOr:-Easy propositions
are not worth the time required In
solution SO far as being exercise for
growing mind; easy roads to travel
may make one foot sore, but does not
count for much In development OF
muscle; the direction of least resist
ance In the line of municipal improve
ments may not take much money O,
time TO make some show OF progress
The proposed plan OF improving the
city Of Somers Point is undoubtedly
the one direction in which great head
way can be made in q yery short
time. The ordinance read for the
irst time before Council on Monday
evening, and which was passed, as il
stands, shows the strong intention OF
the progressive members of Council
to do something to make more com
forts for the residents and visitors to
our city.
lne whteK nss Deen trying for some
time past to get the old residents as
well as the newcomers to attend the
meetings OF Council, It takes ..many
men sf many minds" to form the
council from which the most wisdom
is evolved. The gentlemen who have
framed the present ordinance are
entitled to great respect and the
thanks OF the community at large for
theE efforts. However, there are
good and legitimate reasons for con-
tending that the principal reason
for the existence OF our city as sea-
side resort" is left out of the ordi-
nance entirely. The Bay front of
Somers Point Is an open shame and
