PUNAHOU ALUMNI
ANNUAL REUNION
The Most Successful and Well
Attended in Its
History

The annual reunion of the Punahou
Alumni Association yesterday after
noon on the college campus was the
most largely attended and the most
successful ever held. There were more
than 500 present representing several
generations, and students and pupils
from many years. The display of Is
land fruit was the most extensive and
the most varied that has ever been
shown and included fruit from each
of the Islands of the group and of an
amazing range of kind.

JUDGE PERRY's ADDRESS.

Two or three subjects only need be
referred to by the president by way of
report to you today.
The first is that of the improvements
at the Spring. Some time ago your
executive committee in searching for
some method of doing something for
Punahou stumbled across the sugges-
ton. that the association build a per-
COLA at the Spring. That suggestion
was considered, developed and adopted.
Mr.. Kerr, the architect, at our request,
furnished a plan. The improvements
as finally agreed upon consist of fat
concrete covers TO be placed over the
more important sources of the water.
the leveling and grassing over of the
bit of land lying back of the lily pond
and below the two stone walls which
hold back the soil in the high ground
in the vicinity and the erection of q
pergola, semicircular in shape, about

The pillars. 2x3 TT. will be of moss
covered Hawaiian stone. resting on
concrete foundations, with plates Sx12
and rafters 2x12 of reinforced concrete.
plate with the single word Puma
hou'' will be affixed to one of the pill
lars, to perpetuate knowledge of the
historic fact that the New Spring
gave its name to the locality and to
the institution. No other inscription
is intended to be placed on or near the
pergola.
As to the total cost the experts diff
fered as usual. The estimates varied
from $500 to $4,000 The committee
succeeded in raising by ordinary sub
scription among the Alumni $1460, and
about a month ago wrote formally to
the trustees, offering to build these i'm
provements, subject to the supervision
and approval of the trustees. That
approval has been received and the
offer accepted. Besides the ordinary
subscriptions. the total of which has
been already stated. a firm of two
alumni made contributions of their
services as surveyors in locating the
pillars.

put in by each Of the above teams

it was the pennant they were after, but
the first series now drawing to a close

in a way will be a surprise to many
followers of the game. Still their creep
has been a slow one. until now they

that he wishes I would lay the empha-

PUBLIC TELEPHONES IN CANADA.

Manitoba leads most of the common
wealths on the North American con-
tinent in its public ownership policy
which has recently been extended by
the government through the purchase
of the entire Bell telephone system of
the Province. Attention to this inter-
esting fact is called in the current issue
OF Golfers National Weekly.
The announcement of this purchase
was made by Premier Robin on New
Years day. The price paid is 100000,
payable in 40-year per cent Provincial
bonds, which are now selling a little
under par. The system is to be opera
ted by commission, and it is expect
ed that the present operating officials
of the company will be retained.
The Bell telephone system of Mani
toba is nearly as complete in itself as
any such system we'll could be. 1t has
trunk lines crossing the United States
border at four points, and it barely
touches Saskatchewan at one, but it
has no connection with any other Pro
vince of Canada There will be few
outside complications in it's manage

public operation will depend entirely
upon Manitoba herself. Manitobas ex-

The Immigrants.

Economic conditions in this country
have caused remarkably heavy return
Of foreign laborers for winter sojourn
in their native lands. Commissioner
Sargent informs US that the total i'm
migration for the fiscal year 1906-1907
was 1,285,349 a total exceeding the
greatest figures of any preceding year
by more than 100000. The greatst num-
ber Of immigrants came from Austria
Hungary-33s, 600 Of them. Italy came
next, sending US 285.00C odd. The Rus
sian Empire sent $4,000; China $50. a
decrease from the figures of the preced-
ing year; and Japan 10000, an increase
of about 100 per cent for the year 1906.
One significant fact brought out by the
commissioners report Is that great
number of immigrants landed at south
ern ports, an increase to these destina-
lions caused, in the opinion Of the conf
southern states to draw the better class
Of labor from abroad. The relatively
large increase in the immigration from
Japan Is no doubt due to illegal entry
from over the Canadian and Mexican
borders The total amount Of money
brought into the country by immigrants
last year was over $25,000,0 900, an aver
age Of almost $50 per person. The COM
missioner strongly recommends the
calling OF an international conference
on immigration and emigration; that
marine hospital surgeons be stationed
at the principal points of embarkat1on
abroad to examine aliens about to start
for this country; and that treaty be
negotiated with Mexico respecting i'm
migration through that country.-F'rom
