the Japanese armies would have a

succeeded in making terms at any

ROME WANTS OLD
FOREIGN CHURCH
Catholic Mission Applies for
Old Hauuia Church
Lot.

The Catholic Mission has applied to
Commissioner of Public Lands Pratt
for the purchase of a tract of about
five acres of government owned land
at Hauula, on the Koolau side of this
island, known as the Melumoa lot. This
land was formerly occupied by Pro-
testant church which dated from the
early period when Mother Parker,
lately deceased, was in the early years
of her missionary work on that side
of the island. It has been abandoned
as church for many years. Only the
ruins of the building now remain, its
timbers and other lumber having been
carried away long ago. The lot orig
inally contained about six acres, but
one acre has been taken for railroad
purposes, the new Koolau railroad pass
ing right along the property.
The Catholic Mission desires the
land for religious and educational pur-
poses.

The following is from the San Fran.

nineteen years of Kalakaua's reign,
however, Mr.. Dare held that office only

Of the memorable session of 1886. Mr.
Dare was sent down here by Claus
Spreckels to take the position and,
landing almost utterly unknown in Ho-
nolulu one afternoon, was gazetted as
Attorney General next morning. When
Spreckels came, later and quarreled
with the king, on the slatter's refusal
to fall in with his proposal to take
over the Honolulu waterfront and the
waterworks, the ministry to which
Dare belonged resigned. The Call

REWARD FOR RATS
IN CITY Of OAKLAND

OAKLAND, Sept. 19.--The Oakland
Board of Health, following the example
of the San Francisco board, has opened
campaign for the determination of the
rats within the city limits. The local
Board of Health met again yesterday
noon for the purpose of considering
means and ways of preventing any pos
sible spread of disease, and incidental
ly the action of the San Francisco au-
thorities in relation to rat extermina-
tion was mentioned. It was decided
that rats carry and spread much of the
contagion frequently encountered, and
accordingly the board issued state
ment to the public offering 5 cents
a head for all rats delivered to the
garbage plant at Twenty and
Peralta streets.
Already the small boy has discovered
the best and most thickly populated
rat center ON this side of the bays,
and it is at the Dumps at the old
garbage pidHI Sue, dt the IutHtlcdi
place where the board asks that dead
rats be delivered at cents per head.
Since the old garbage burner was de-
stroyed by fire the Italian scavengers
have been permitted to dump garbage
and refuse on the old site until there
is now an enormous mountain of ref
use-a veritable paradise for rodents.
While this dump has been pointed to.
as a menace to the health Of West
Oakland, Mayor Mott declares that
eventually it will be burned away
again, and in the meantime the adj
ministration is considering the estab-
lishment of a municipal garbage crema-
tory.

SOC|ETY'S PLANS
Plans TO Collect and Preserve
Valuable Hawaiian
Pictures.

The Hawaiian Photographic Society
is distributing the following circular
through the photographers and photo
graphic supply houses, to those whom
it is believed may be interested in the
subject. It gives in outline the OBJ
jeets of the society and the advantages
which membership gives:
| Honolulu, T. H., June 20, 1907.
Dear Sir Cor Madam: Believing it
to be to your interest, / desire to call

| graphic Society.

nature, and worthy of being preserved,
and relating to the Hawaiian Islands.
Beside this feature, it is the inten-
tion of the executive committee to aid
the amateur in elevating and improv-
ing the standard of his individual
work
This viii be accomplished by hold
ing meetings Cat least once month";
at which some portion of technique or
composition will be exemplifed by one
qualified for the office. After the
demonstration, members will be allow
ed to discuss the matter treated, or to
bring forward samples of work illus
trating any difficulty met with, which
difficulty will be explained and dis
cussed by members present.
Island members will be permitted to
forward negatives or prints which
show the difficulties of any individual
worker, and will be informed by the
secretary how, in the opinion of the
members, the fault may be overcome.
Ladies and gentlemen are eligible to
membership.

derstand how you will be enabled to
help yourself and the society in its
purposes. If you are novice your

1907 the sum of three dollars and six
dollars annually thereafter.
