{ CARNEGIE MAY GIVE US
A FREE LIBRARY BUILDING

materially increase the size of its
library without securing more shelf
space. 1t has fine property where its
building is located, and it has a consid-
erable endowment, but it has neither
the means to erect larger building
nor sufficient endowment to maintain
a greatly increased library
Ordinarily Mr.. Carnegie, where he
contributes to a public library, gives
ten times as much as the community is
willing to devote annually to the free
public library. But in the present in
stance, it is hoped that he can be in
duced to give more than this If the
present Library Association were to
sell its present library property and
combine the returns with its endow-
ment, 1T could have nearly 100000
for an endowment fund, which of itself
would be good start. With liberal
appropriations for the support and
maintenance of the library itself. and
with say 100000 for building from
Mr.. Carnegie, public library of which
the community might well be proud
could be established.
With such building in prospect the
question of site is one that is of
Importance. The Capitol grounds
where the bungalow now stands has
been suggested. A building located
there would correspond in location with
the Archives building on the Waikiki
side of the grounds. The building
would be arehiteeturally handsome and
entirely suitable TO the site. Tt would
be easily accessible from all street car
lines. 1t would be in harmony with the
Charles Mulford Robinson plan for the
Identification of the city.
1t begins to look as though a worthy
public library was within measurable
distance of realization.

Pearl Harbor Workers Will Be
Encouraged to Have Homes
in Honolulu.

In accordance with the policy pre-
vailing at other naval stations and
Navy yards, it is understood that the
Navy authorities may favor the plan
of having all laborers at the Pearl
Harbor Naval Station reside in Homo
lulu or at the Peninsula, going to and
from their daily work by whatever
means of transportation are available
or provided.
In a couple of years, possibly, a
modern naval city will be reared on
the shores of Pearl Harbor, and the
employees may number many hundreds,
probably thousands, until the entire
work is completed, and the residence
problem will no doubt be solved as
above. Already the five or six Fscore
of employees at work there come into
town every day, some by train and
others by the water route. Those who
travel by train board the Oahu Rail
way cars near the concrete bridge this

Honolulu may have a public library
before very long, library more gen
erously dealt with by Andrew Carnegie
than almost any other library to which
he has given aid.
The last legislature passed an act
looking to a public library and pro
viding for the appointment of library
board. The board was appointed, and
though it has kept out of the limelight,
it has not been idle.
When Governor Frear went east last
Nav to attend the conference of Gov
ernors at Washington, he and Aionz0
Gartley. who is a member of the IL
brary board, went prepared to present
the library matter to Mr.. Carnegie.
They took with them complete data
regarding the islands and especially of
Honolulu, of the kind that would have
a bearing on the subject of libraries.
They took maps, and they took photo
graphs. The whole subject was treated
in a carefully prepared brief for Mr..
Carnegie's s consideration. The Governor
and Mr.. Gartley had conference with
Mr. Carnegie and presented the matter
to him, and as they believe, interested
him in the subject. The Laird was
then shortly to go to Scotland, and on
his return from Skibo Castle he viii
take up the matter again.
The act passed by the legislature
contemplated the amalgamation of the
present Honolulu library with the pro-
posed free public library, and progress
has been made in negotiating with the
trustees of this institution. The Homo
lulu Library Association, in the accu-
mutation of library, has reached the
limit of its library building. 1t cannot

PROMOTERS BACK
FROM EUROPE
Mr.. ]. r. McCr0ss0n and Fred
Lewis Come by the
Alameda.

Fred Lewis and j. T.. McCrosson re-
turned yesterday by the Alameda after
an absence of several months. They
went to London with Col. George w.
Macfarlane to float the Hamakua lower
ditch bonds, and they report that they
have succeeded. The deal is not ab-
solutely completed, but all that is lack
ing are certain details of information
which will be readily supplied. The
entire issue of bonds is $1,000,000, Of
which 100000 have been taken up
here. The syndicate which will take
up the bonds is the same one through
which the Hawaiian Commercial &
Sugar CO. bonds were foated many
years ago, and which has handled other
Hawaiian enterprises.
The bond issue will be insured by
the Norwich Mutual Life Insurance
Company. The policy it issues insures
the payment of the bonds at their ma
turity and is a protection to both the
holder and the issuer.
Returning with Messrs. Lewis and
McCrosson is Carl J. Brock, a mining
expert from Idaho, who is an expert
in tunneling The promoters feel SO
certain of the conclusion of the bond
deal that they are going ahead with
the preliminary work.
While in Europe Mr.. McCrosson and
Mr.. Lewis went to Germany, where
they investigated the production of
nitrogen from the atmosphere. This is
a process that is in operation at Nj
agara Falls. and generally can be car
ried on where there is abundant and
cheap power. The projectors hope to
utilize the water power they will pro-
duce in the production of nitrogen for
fertilizing purposes. If this is success
ful it will greatly reduce the importa-
ion of nitrates from the west coast
Of South America, which now amount
to half million dollars year.
Col. Macfarlane expects to return
from England in the latter part of
September.

More than 700 men are now installing

the jobs into such shape that they can

the cruise to Samoa.

SCHEME To NAME
BROWN IS DROPPED

Yesterday the word was passed

Those who had been notified that they
had been selected togo to the con-
vention and would be expected to hold
themselves in readiness to rally to
Brown s support as soon as his name
came up, were told that the plan of
starting a convention boom had been
dropped and that they might consider
the scheme off. The reason given for
the change of plans was that Brown
had decided not to be candidate in
order to promote party harmony, the
news that he would be forced on the
ticket having raised big roar from
those who had not been taken into con
fidence in the matter.

TACKLE FOR THE
BREAkWATER WORK

Rails and other heavy mate
rial for the Hilo Railway com
pany are aboard the American
Hawaiian steamship Mexican for
the additional FIVE miles of track
for the road proper, and sidings
for the contractor, d. Metzger,
to be utilized when completed
in the construction of the Hilo
breakwater. In addition to
rails, there is also the derrick
material, locomotive cranes and
other appurtenances for the
handling of the rock at the
quarry and dumping it at the
breakwater. The material Will
probably be delivered in Hilo by
the 2Sth of this month, the Mex
lean going there to take on
sugar for Salina Cruz. The grad
ing for the railroad is completed,
and within month the eontrac-
tor should be in position to go
ahead with his work.
