IMMEDIATE ACTION
BY COUNCIL Is CRY
independent Telephone System Must
Be Saved at All Hazards for
the People.

The crushing out of existence of the
Independent telephone company in
Rock Island is not to be permitted
to stand. The council will be called
upon to again act on the subject. the
present prospect being that the pro-
gram outlined in last evenings Argus
will be put through.
In any event public sentiment,
taken as a whole, is enthusiastically
favorable, to the retention of the in
dependent franchise, and to insure it's
continuing in the field some definite
action on the part of. the council must
be taken in the immediate future
Any policy Involving procrastination
that would result in the collapse of
the Independent company would OF
course make the Bell monopoly shed
tears-real crocodile tears.

city is not bankrupt, and letter from

and a love for a prohibition state.
He introduced Mr.. Trickett as fell

He said that for % years the Grim

sc he made use of the civil law under

Mr.. Gere has made a report on the
roads of oahu, at the request of the
Governor. He says in this report:
ROADS ON OAHU.
The Island of Oahu has largely con-
fined its permanent road work to the
city of Honolulu and its suburbs. Still
an effort is being made to make hard
road of the belt road.
Honolulu has about 50 miles of ma
cadam streets and roads, u of which
are a part of the belt road around the
Island. Eva district has u miles and
KoolaupokO miles of macadam, Wal
alua has three-fourths of a mile and
Koolauloa 3 miles of coral road. and
the latter district has u miles of sandy
beach road which is always good, so
that, of the belt road, 80 per cent is
. per cent coral--a total of
IS per cent hard road" 10 per cent is
sand clay road, and AZ per cent still
earth roads.
The circuit if the Island is easily
made in one day in an automobile. The
first 8 miles out of Honolulu up the
Nuuanu valley brings one
to the famous Nuuanu Pail. The de-
scent of the Koolau side is an per
cent grade literally carved out of the
cliff in many places for two miles, and
here ends the macadam. The miles
