Vine Covered BUILDINGS.

The time was when the presence of
trailing vines Oh the exterior Of build
lngs was largely reminder Of ruins
and the symbols Of neglect. Ivy, wood
h1ne and moss were alike voted to be
Indicative OF decay. But change
has come over the spirit Of our dreams
In this respect as In many other mat
ters Today creeping vine attach
Ing Itself to house or block affords
proofs OF an aesthetic taste, and the Gus
tom has been largely adopted in some
:lties and towns Of covering the walls
Oh buildings with perennial vine,
says the Clinton (N. " Courier. Even
50 humble plant as morning glory
Is last rising in popular estimation.
Such adornments may serve a double
purpose. hiding defects In the struc-
lure as well as adding beauty to the
exterior. There Is an instance In st.
Louis where skyscraper is thus dec
GRATED. Vine clad cottages are a theme
Tor the poet and an inspiration to the
painter There Is one objection to
such covering for wooden buildings In
that they sometimes retain the mois-
lure caused by rains, but no criticism
avahs the case Of brick buildings. We
nave a few instances in Clinton-and
ousnt 10 have more-in which ivy has
deem successfully trained ND two OF
three stories.

Scheme For Benefitins Strangers In a
Community

Scheme For Benefitins Strangers In a
Community.
When a stranger moves into a town
there are certain problems which at
once confront him, such as what to do
with his ashes and garbage, what pub
lie school his children should attend.
what taxes he should pay and when
and where, says the Municipal Journal
and Engineer. There are certain ordi-
nances also which he should observe,
such as that requiring cleaning the
snow from his sidewalk within q GER
tain time after each storm, not using
lawn sprinkler during certain hours,
etc Too often the citizen is informed
of such an ordinance only when its
penalty is enforced against him.
We do not know Of any way in
which greater general benefit could
be conferred by citizens society than
by the compiling, publishing and gen.
eral distribution Of pamphlet, giving
in the briefest possible form the infor-
nation suggested above. In connection
with which 1t would be desirable to
give the names and Office addresses of
the various city officials and a state
ment as to what particular function Of
the city government and maintenance
Appertafns to each. We would also
suggest that certain member OF the
society or possibly one for each ward
or other subdivision Of the city be
named as committee on complaints,
to whom any citizen may report what
he considers a dereliction Of any off,
cial or city employee, Or. If it would
seem too great a burden to impose
upon one willing citizen to make him
the mouthptece for universal COM
plant, he could act as an information
bureau and instruct citizens concern
ing what department or individual of
the city government complaints should
be made to.

It must be made clear to those who

by sending their trade away from home
is a deceptive advantage and carries

Economic Civic Tidiness.

From every point Of view the idea Of
using vacant lots for gardening pur-
poses is good one, even If 1t is hedged
around with limitations of one kind or
another and more particularly by the
fact of the uncertain time limit on their
availability. There are many improve
ment associations over the country &C.
tive in organizing and encouraging this
work, and as to the benefit to be Sc
cured by both old and young, wheth-
er the districts be open or congested,
there is little doubt Moreover, the 9th
er side Of the question, the improve
ment in appearance Of the great ma
jority Of vacant lots and the conse-
quent effect on any locality thus I'M
proved, should aid the cause by Undue
ing a liberal acQuiescence on the part
Of property owners in efforts so mutu-
ally beneficial The moral agency Of
gardening in Its uplifting influence on
human nature Is in itself powerful
incentive to pin faith to gardening
wherever opportunities offer. To some
the development In growth and frui-
ton excites absorbing attention, and to
others their products are most allur-
ing To both classes there is that partic-
ular fascination which tends to encour
age qualities highly beneficial to the
gardener as we'll as especially SO to the
community. Much benefit may be de-
rived under proper organization and

lake country. sullivan lake is located
ahout ten miles from Sullivan Landing
on the Pend Oreille, and is about the
same distance from Metaline. /. Is In
the Kaniksu National Forest, a guaran-
tee that its natural beauty will long be

this part of the northwest, and marvel
GUS tales are told OF the catches made
there. Hunting is also good, birds are
numerous, and big game, such az cougar,
lynx, deer and bear, are found in that
vicinity.

tional Forests officials have approved of
the application of the company for the
establishment of this resort, and next
season will see fine hunting and fish
ing spot opened to the public.

Mining Notes

James NJ. Culberson visited the Camp
Bird mine last week, and is enthusiastic
over the possibilities of this property.
The Camp Bird Is located about five
miles from Newport in the Newport
district, and was discovered by Mr.. Geo.
{. Sutton, OF Priest River, early this
season. Considerable development work
has been done on the property by Mr..
Sutton and his associates on the claim,
and the locator thinks that it is the best
property in this section.
The claim shows high values in silver
lead with traces of copper. The speci-
mems of carbonates left at this office by
Mr.. Culberson are highly mineralized.
Assays are being made at the present
time by parties interested. Mr.. Sutton
is in Pennsylvania at the present time,
securing money to develop the property.
He reports that he is meeting with sue
cess in his venture, and expects to re-
turn home in October, and will then
proceed with further development. 1t
is stated that Camp Bird could be made
shipping mine within three months if
it was so desired.
The annual meeting of the Silver Lead
Mininti c. will be held in this city Tues

KEIOS WIN
OUT IN 18TH

YOKOHAMA, October 20.-There was
splendid game at Keio yesterday. The
picked team of the fleet, fine lot of
chaps, played for all they were worth,
and despite lack of practice put up a
game that made the Keio boys wink. The
pitcher, a Sc0tch-American and a vet
eran, was probably the best ever seen
on that ground, and some of the bat
ters were dead nuts on the Jap. balls.
Enthusiasm ran high, especially among
the youngsters, who are quick to no
tice good form whether it be in Jap
anese or foreigner.
The little rooters were a feature of
the afternoon. They marched round
the field, sang song, and then took
their seats. One of them, a yOungster
about ten, made speech to the visitors
and was roundly cheered and comPli-
mented by the American captain on
his English. Keio got two runs in the
fifth, one in the seventh, one in the
ninth, and one in the thirteenth, thus
winning the game to I.

QUARANTINE
FOR OKAWA MARU

The Quarantine Island bunch of peer
less pilule pilots held the good ship
Ottawa Maru up yesterday morning and
babe her stay in the offing; 16 to 8 was
the score by which the protecting physi-
clans put it over the Japs. 1t was not
a hot game from start to finish, but the
quarantiners won their point, and the
yellow flag was gaily futtering over the
Ottawa Maru when the game was over.
Manuel Phillips pitched for the Jap
anese team and did well, but was found
too often by those willy ship shoppers
and allowed to many hits to be pleasant
for his own side. A return match will
probably be played in the near future.

BALL GAMES

noon. The Bulletins beat the newly,
organized Pauas by Z to +, and the
Eagles put it over the Ilaniwai Juniors

got off with a jump by scoring seven
in the arst period and were never head
ed during the game, although the Ilani,
wais made hard fight for it.
The Bulletins and Giants viii get to,
gether again next Sunday. This match
will be a hummer, for there is keen
rivalry between these two ever since
the Giants won the game at the
League Park when the Moo-cows were
here.

Oh, WHAT A TIME
NEXT SUNDAY
Kupid Kids Will Start Their
Series---Band Will Play
and Flags Wave.

What will probably be the SWEETEST
opening of any baseball league in Ho-
nolulu will occur on next Sunday after
noon at the Aala Park diamond, when
the winter series of the Kalanianaole
League begins. Every preparation that
goes to make it a historical day in the
annals Of baseballdom in Hawaii is be-
ing done, and every heart of the Aala
fans is looking forward to that day.
One of the main features of the ex-
ercises will be the presence of Hon. j.
j. Fern, the Mayor-elect, in the box,
and the presence of Vice President E.
S. Kong, in the best of his Chinese
wearing apparels, behind the bat. 1t
was formerly announced that Governor
Frear would do the twirling stunt and
Hon. j. K. Kalanianaole umpire the
first game, but as both of these gentle
men are going away their services can
not be secured It will be up to Enos
Vicent, the Maui attorney, who is the
president of the league, to bat the ball
this time, and as Vicent is a good man
at that stunt, he will no doubt be able
to send the first ball into the drink.
All the other officers from the official
ticket collector down to the press agent
will line up on the field.
Among those who have received in
vitations to be present at these cere-
monies viii be all the members of the
Board of Supervisors, Hon. Chas. Chill
ingwOrth, who donated the trophy of
last year, and the other prominent fans
of this popular park. A. X. Vierra, the
official cane-swinger of Aala Park, stat
ed yesterday that he is getting out a
list of names of all those who are com
monty seen there, and everyone of these
are going to receive invitations. This
will make up a large list of invited
guests, and with the crowd expected
Aala Park will be filled with humanity.
f. 0. Hall & Son, the local sporting
house, has donated beautiful trophy
for this season, and besides this there
will be the cup presented by Delegate
Kalanianaole, which is to be won twice
The Chinese a. C. won the first year S
championship, and if these lads will
manage to come out victorious again
they will be the holders of this beau
tiful trophy. The teams playing this
season are: The Twilights, Jap. A. c.;
Aala A. c.; Chinese A. c., and the
White Sox.
On the opening day the bandstand
will be decorated. The committee in
charge of this arrangement are j. X

also be in attendance during the after
noon.

SIR HARRY NO
LONGER MASCOT

There was a hot and close finish at
Atkinson Park yesterday morning when
the gallant ship Iroquois was rammed
by the big battleship Ilaniwai. The big
event took place in the ninth when
Butler scored the only run of the game.
He got to second on an error by An
derson. Then Walker came up and
handed one of those long bingles that
gave Butler plenty of time to romp.
This little spiel won the game for the
Ilaniwais. Sir Harry De Wore Chol-
mondely Nygeu Lorrynge Jackson was
there for the losers, but he got a dent
in his casque during the first charge and
he couldn't tilt any more. 1t is true
that he swatted Dole for couple of
bingles, but he did not have the good
lance rest and he was numerically I'M
seated by the other knight.
Here is where Sir Harry, etc, loses
his job as mascot. Ever since he has
been playing with the tugrope artists
they have been winning. But yester-
day the jinks was sailing over the bay
and the Iroquois hit mud bank; and
overheard went good old Sir Harry,
etc
The second game was not played, as
the Marines forfeited to the Kewalos.
This puts the Kewalos well in the lead.
Tho present standing of the league is:
