MR.. TURNER IN BOSTON.

Rev. f. B. Turner of Honolulu is in
the city on his way to the World s
Sunday School Convention at Rome
The following interview with him APP
Peared in the Boston Evening Trans
cript last night:
Among others who have reported
at the transportation committee g
headquarters in the Pope Building on
Columbus avenue is Rev. E. b. Turner,
who will represent the Hawaiian Is
lands in the gathering at Rome. He
is one of the pastors of the Central
Union Church in Honolulu, and the
superintendent of its Sunday school of
four hundred members. He is also at
the head of the Boys Clubs of the
islands, and president of the Sunday
School Association of Hawaii, which
includes over one hundred schools.
In answer to question concerning
political affairs on the islands, and espe-
cially the japanese question, he spoke
freely of the present outlook. I'VE
have had no such trouble as they ex-
perienced in San Francisco he said,
because we have had a rigid language
test which excluded from the public
schools all who could not use fuentlv
the English language. We have met
the widespread desire among the Japa-
nese for an education in the English
tongue by the establishment of night
schools, which have been started and
maintained by churches, social settle
ments and by private philanthropy,
and which have been most eagerly
patronized by japanese These classes
have not only been a means to the end
OF reaching these people with our re-
hglon, but it has aided in the general |
educational problem of the islands
In reply to an inquiry as to the
effect of the recent anti-Japanese cru
SADIE on the Pacific coast. and the new
treaty regulations, Mr.. Turner replied: |
There has been a very keen interest
in this matter among our Japanese.

EARLY SHOPPING FOR XMAS
GIVE THE. MERCHANTS AND
CLERKS A CHANCE.
You Also Will Be Better Pleased II
You Make Your Selections Be-
fore the Rush Comes Later.

Buy your presents early. Early in
the day and early In December. That
will be your biggest gift Of the holt
days to the workers behind the coun-
tiers and on the delivery wagons.
"Shop early" Is the cry going over
the land. AS the holiday season APP
proaches there is a growing realiza-
ton that people should consider 9TH
ers to insure the happiness that
Christmas brings. Christmas shopping
is generally left until a week or two
before Christmas and then there is a
rush. In order to make the move
ment general throughout the country
efforts are being put forth by wo-
mems clubs and organizations Of diff
ferent kinds to bring some measure
of relief to the merchants and other
toilers in the factories and stores and
at the same time afford shoppers the
benefit Of trading when the supply of
goods is large and there is variety
to select from. 1t is as much of a
benefit to buyers to shop early as it
is to the merchants and clerks.
Observation might show many of
us that Christmas is time of hard
ship for those who have to do with
supplying the needs of Christmas
shoppers. Authentic records from the
lives of clerks, delivery boys and
drivers Of wagons show that, while we
are keeping the Christmas festival,
while we are feeding the lame and
halt, the blind and friendless, we are
lightly reducing to illness and ex-
haustion the young and strong and
faithful who serve us, seen and I'M
seen.
Every year the celebration o.
Christmas grows more elaborate
More presents are bought; the crowt
is greater; the decorations are more
splendid. The problems of the mer.
chants are correspondingly more
complex; the supply has to be increas-
ed; the pressure at every point inten-
SITES. On the one hand, public opin-
ion disapproves long hours, and late
work, particularly for young women,
girls and children. On the other
hand, merely through thoughtlessness,
many shoppers defer their purchases
until the last possible moment at the
cost of unnecessary strain upon sales
people and delivery forces.

Much Work in Progress in the Local
Engineering District.

Major G. A. f. Flager, United States
engineer, in charge of the local district,
who has also been looking after the work
of Major j. G. Sanford, the engineer in
charge of the Philadelphia district, has
been relieved ofthat work, Major Sanford
having returned from Europe.
A great deal of work is going On in the
local district. The most important work
is the dredging OF the Christiana River.
The Bowers Hydraulic Co., which con-
Germ was awarded the contract for the
work, has started to construct the deposit
basins along the banks of the river in
which will be pumped the material taken
from the channel. These basins have to
be built before the dredging begins. The
company will have one of its big dredges
at work within a short time.
In addition to this work, Major Flagler
also has a company doing some dredging
in the st. Jones River and another firm
constructing a jetty in the Smyrna River.
A Jetty is being constructed at the mouth
OF the Mispillion River. the Tatnall
Brown Co. OF Wilmington having the
contract for the work.
A sea wall is being built at Fort Mott
on the New Jersey side of the Delaware
River, which will cost about $50
This wall is intended to protect tie banks
OF the river at the fort and also to pre-
serve the excellent landing.
Active work on the new lighthouse
which the government has decided to
build the Harbor OF Refuge, Delaware Bay,
has been started and the structure will
be completed within a short time, Dan
iel L. Tomey has the contract for the
foundation OF the lighthouse. This struct-
ture will cost $50 5000.
But only one estimate was submitted
and that was from the Bowers Hydraulic
Dredging Co. The bid was at 20 9-IO
cents per cubic yard. The quantity of
dredging to be done will necessitate the
removal OF about 95 5000 cubic yards of
material. This bid will be forwarded to
Washington for approval.
