BIG WORK TO
START SOON
AT LEILEHUA
Captain Castner Here to Push Things Ahead at
Full Speed---A Two Years Steady Job
on Permanent Post

Three thousand officers and men will
comprise the garrison of the new bri-
gade army post to be established perma-
nen4y on the United States govern
ment reservation at Leilehua, Wahiawa,
Oahu Included in this garrison will
be an entire regiment of cavalry (at
first two squadrons), another of field
artillery, one of infantry, signal corps
detachment and one of engineers, and
a general brigade hospital with COM
plete complement of hospital corps men.
Commanding this post and all the
minor garrisons on the island, will be
a general officer, who will have a staff,
which will include a paymaster, Judge
advocate, quartermaster, eommissary
and medical director.
In about five weeks time the head
quarters, band and two squadrons of
the Fifth United States Cavalry will
arrive from San Francisco, and will
go into temporary quarters established
on a site to be selected today or to-
morrow at Leilehua. This camp viii
be composed of tents for officers and
troopers, a frame administration build
ing, nine kitchen buildings, including
one for the band, a clubhouse for Of
1icers which later will be turned into
a post exchange for the men, and eight
separate stables with tiled roofs.
The stables will be built as perma-
nent quarters for mounts. They are to
be constructed from the most approved
designs for housing animals in tropic-
al countries. The stables viii be rooted
with red tiles and will have side cur
tains of canvas on rollers, so that they
can be raised or lowered according to
the state of the weather. All the frame
buildings will be elevated on concrete
piers.
The site to be selected by the army
board appointed recently will be in !,
such a position on the reservation that |
it will not interfere with the plans +,
for the permanent brigade post, and !,

BURNING BOXES CAUSED ALARM

A blaze which broke out at half past
one o'clock this morning in a pile of
boxes in the vacant lot on King street
opposite the Grill gave the fire depart

employees of the Grill, it having gained
headway enough to eat through the high
fence at the Gunst -Eakin corner. a

Devil Hill, four miles south of Kitty
Hawk n c. Be It said for the Wrights
that they have never missed an opportu-
nifty to express their deep sense OF obliga-
ton and gratitude to Prof. Chanute, who
in turn has manifested the livelest inter-
est in the progress OF the younger men
whom he has come to look upon as sons.
Chanute now in his seventy-siXth year
is decidedly the youngest man of his years
who has visited Uncle Sans aeronautical
trial grounds at Fort Myer and he has
proven genuinely helpful in the formu-
lation of plans and preparations for
resumption of the flights as soon as Or
Vile Wright has recovered.
If Chanute, who has been termed the
right bower of the Wrights,' has been
almost indispensable to the success OF the
inventive brothers, quite as much may
be said for Charles r. Flint, the New
York merchant, capitalist and millionaire
promoter, who is the financial packer

sometimes asserted that Chanute inspired
the first entry of the Wrights into the
aeronautical field. The sons of Bishop
Wright were first seized with a desire TO
attempt the mastery of the air through
the perusal of a number Of'scienttfc books
which Wilbur Wright the elder, read
aloud to his brother Orville. four years
his junior. the latter was recovering
from an attack of typhoid fever. How
ever, when the young men decided 10 de-
vote what time they could spare from
their bicycle repair business to the expert
mental construction of aerial craft they
Immediately wrote to Chanute, who had
published about that time some valuable
treatises relative to mechanical flight,
and who then as now, was regarded as
a foremost authority on the subject.
From the outset Prof. Chanute was
attracted to the young eXperimenterS in
the Buckeye state. Not only did he give
them plans drawings and specifications
of the flying machines of the gliding type
which he had invented but he even trans
ferred to the young enthusiasts some OF
the apparatus which he had used in his
personal experiments on the lake shore
near Chicago. With this material as a
nucleus the Wrights built their first air
ship. In basic principle it was some
