GOOD LITTLE
CARD At CLUB

Fred Creel showed up to, better
advantage last night at the s. A. A.
c. smoker than ever before. He
was up against Bob Larson, who
is no SLOUGH himself, but got the
better of the four round argument.
Larson took good lacing from
Creel, but stood up to 1t and rel
fshed it. It didn't appear to take
the steam out of him perceptibly.
Some of those In the house didn't
like Creel's ego, and shouted for
Larson to win.
The most entertaining battle of
the evening was Heinie Ritter, who
on account of q fractured small
bone in the right hand was compell-
ed to resort to his left hand almost
altogether. He popped them in
straight every time he got the op-
portunity AMI Foley was wobbling
about like q rudderless ship.
Heinie scored a clean knockout in
the second. Those boys weighed
only about as much as full grown
splinter.
Bloom and Mcpherson presented
q funny spectacle. Mcpherson
thought he could box. Bloom
couldn't and knew 1t. They pun
meled around in good shape, to the
huge glee of the crowd. Draw.
st. German and Curly Cowan
, went at 1t like Kentucky feudists,
but Curly battled in times of peace
and lost on foul In the second
round.
Referee Douglas stopped the GO
between Joe Reager and Binger,
the latter taking considerable pun
ishment AMI not lighting back in a
lively manner.
George Douglas refereed the
bouts to the satisfaction of those

KICK ON CANADIAN COIN

NAVY YARD, PUGET SOUND,
April 11.-Paymasters here, and
many of the men who were never
in this part of the country before,
are complaining about the money
with which the government pays
it's employees. The money Is Sc
cured from Seattle banks, and a
considerable amount of it Is often
Canadian money. The strangers in
these parts have suspicion OF
coin which does not bear the motto
"In God We Trust" They insist
that as the regulations provide that
they shall be paid in the lawful
currency of the United States, that
they should not have to take Ca
madam money, which must be dis
counted, If taken to other ports.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-At

Farland will try to decide who Is
the best lightweight boxer in the
world, drawing the color line. Both
men have trained faithfully. The
youngster from Chicago is supreme

ures that he can prove himself
Britt's master in Is rounds. Britt
is saying nothing but he is betting
his own money that he wins. Ten

GAME GONE AND
INDIANS STARvE

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c..
April 1.-THE Indians around Fort
Chippewan are starving, owing to
the scarcity of furry animals, which
mean both food and clothing to the
aborigines. Muskrats are the only
creatures plentiful in that district
and as their skins have no longer
any commercial value, their pres
ence in no way relieves the gloomy
prospect of starvation which con-
fronts the Indians.

MORTGAGES
RELEASED
ON SITE OF WIRELESS AND TELE-
PHONE HEADQUARTERS OF THE
NEW COMPANY.

Certain papers were filed in the office
of the Registrar of Conveyances this
morning which seem to show that the
new telephone system which will be
constructed in this city under the aus
pieces of what is now the Hawaiian
Telegraph and Telephone Company, is
going ahead in earnest. The Henry
Warehouse Trust Company, which has
always acted as the agents for the
wireless concern, has obtained the re-
lease of the encumbrances on the prop
erty at the corner of Bishop and Mer-
chant streets, which will be used by
the new concern.
The property mentioned was subject
to two mortgages, one given by John
Emmeluth to Alexander Young, for the
sum of $4,000, and the second from
Walter Peacock to the Bishop etsate
trustees for the sum of 81, 500. Both
are released to the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company in consideration of the
payment of ST. 500.
Thus far the purchase price of the
site is held a private matter. From
certain known facts, however, it is a
fair deduction that it was not less
than $500 and possibly struck the
100000 mark. The area is somewhat
over 10000 square feet,

THE MYRTLE EEIE

Preparations for the chowder and
dance to be given by the Myrtle Boat
Club on the evening of Saturday, De-
cember 8, are going along rapidly and
a delightful time is assured to all who
attend. The arrangements for the
chowder have been placed in the hands
of Mrs. A. f. Murphy, which means
that they will not only be complete
but viii run along without friction Of
any kind. The manner in which Mrs.
Murphy made such a great success OF
the Gypsy Encampment' Is sufficient
testimon. in regard to her ability in
this line.
The chowder will be served in the
early part of the evening, commencing
at about 1880, in the grounds of the
Moana Hotel, the decorations being in
charge of Mrs. Alice Hastings. Later
will come the dancing for which the
best musicians in the city have been
obtained and which will also be look
ed after by Mrs. Hastings.

HONOLULU HALE
IS HELD HIGH

Some time ago, wnen the disposition
of Honolulu Hale-as the dilapidatAd
capitol building of ancient days is
called-was matter of discussion,
Morgan's agency by its orator Steven,
offered the Government $780, 900 for the
property. This was at a higher rate
than the Government obtained for the
old Sailors Home lot, at Bethel and
Merchant streets, from the Yokohama
Specie Bank. Yet it was not satisfac-
tory to the Government.
A board of appraisers was appointed
to value the lot, consisting of Terri
torial and a County official and a brok-
er. The officials appraised the proper
.ty at $4,000 and the broker gave a
dissenting valuation at $4,000. Gov
ernor Frear cut the higher appraisal
down to $4,000, for which the lot with
its valueless building is now presum-
ably held.
