R.AIDED A BIG GAME.

A well-known gambling resort on
Maunakea street, between Pauahi and
Hotel, was raided yesterday morning
by Special Officer Joe Leal. assisted by
ex-Detective Apana and others, the net
result of the raid being twenty-seven
pake paikau players. Bail on the prison
ers was set at $25, considerably above
the ordinary amount, it being consid-
cred that the evidence against the men
is conclusive and that a $40 bail would
only be an invitation to jump it. The
joint caught had one of the oldest and
biggest games in the city.

Departmental Bill.

After remarks on the resolution had
been made by superintendent of Pub
lie Works Marston Campbell and Hon.
Z. A. Douthitt, Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Whitney spoke on the tentative
bill he had drafted to cover the ques-
ton, his bill being an addition to the
present ordinance requiring a license
for a tenement-house or lodging-house
to the effect that the written consent
of the majority of the property holders
of the block must be secured In all
cases where the block to be built in
had two-thirds of the buildings in it
residences. This was the Chicago law,
which had been sustained in the su-
preme courts of three States, knocked
out in three States, and been decided
twice favorably and once adversely in
Missouri. Mr.. Whitney referred to
the difficulty in framing legislation to
meet the case.

Anglo-saxons Need Education.

After referring to the interesting
points that the present question raised
from the standpoint of a lawyer, A.
G.. NJ. Robertson said:
"Tn the measure proposed and the
discussion so far, we have only been
scratching around on the surface. DR..
Scudder has referred to the policy of
education needed for the Japanese, but
it would be. of more value if the edu-
cation were conducted along other
lines. not only among the residents of
the japanese camps. but among the
Anglo Saxons of this community. There
is mo question of race prejudice in
this, but there is no denying the fact
that the question now is one of Japa
nese origin. So long as the japanese
immigration into Honolulu is to con-
tinue. the root of the evil will exist.
So far it has been impossible to keep
the japanese where they are most
wanted, on the plantations, and so long
IS the inducements are held out, the
will continue to flock into the
.itv. Where the education of the An |
ylo-Saxons is needed is in regard to
he employment by them of the Japa- |
lese who come into town.

racts given in Honolulu were exam
ned, those dealing with carpentering,
,lumbing and painting, the result

Movement Under Way to +
 illuminate Washington St. THE WORK DIVIDED UP
Adams and Center Streets May Also Be Made Re splendent With Gay CoIors at Small Expense--The Plan of Action.

Phoenix is to be decorated during fair week and decorated properly. The fact that everybody has been busy with other things and nothing has been said about it in the newspapers must not be construed as an indication that nobody has been thinking about it. NJ C. Me Dougall has properly taken upon him self for the last year or two, the duty of seeing that Phoenix did not forget herself and last year he had much to do with starting the movement for a modest but appropriate decoration and it was done very nicely without much fuss or feathers. Yesterday Mir Me Dougall took up the matter with Neigh bor Tharaldson, he agreed on every thing, and they at once called a meet ing of the business men of Washing ton street for ? o'clock yesterday aft ernoon in the Arizona club rooms.
 There was a good attendance, Mir. McDougall was elected chairman. and Mir. Tharaidson was elected secretary,

at the intersections of streets, lines of wires will be run to an elevated point
 in the center, canopy fashion, which will make Na very pretty effect. The | flags and bunting will also be appro- priately strung also in accordance with
 general plan.
 The reason for handling Washing 1 ton street in a section by itself is that the capacity of the electric light plant ] is somewhat limited, and surplus pow CT cannot be furnished on short notice to illuminate more than one street. It was thought by the meeting that the main street of the city should be thus illuminated first. It can work no hardship on others in a financial way for the Washington street people will
 pay for their own demonstration. It is desirable however. that the en- tire city be as well decorated as pos isible, and Chairman McDougall was empowered to appoint committees to take charge of the work on any other streets where those interested may feel like taking up the matter. It was
 the sense of the meeting that Center
 street should be decorated as much as
 possible from the Gepots to the pOstof
 flee and that Adams street should be
 decorated at least from the Melczer
 hall to the Noble block ard as much
 further as the residents or business men on those thoroughfares might feel like bestirring themselves. The eX- pense will not be as great as on Wash ington, for they will have no illumina- tion to pay for. Mir McDOugall would like to hear from public spirited men along Center and Adams street at once
 so he can appoint committees to take
 up that part of the work. And the same is true of any other sections of the town which may be so inclined
 The work of decoration is believed to be a valuable one for it shows all Ari- zOna that Phoenix appreciates the fair and is glad to entertain the people from
 everywhere. It also shows the visitor from beyond the territory that the city is up to date and making good on her opportunities for advertising. Almost any one who has attended any sort of a big fair anywhere, will recall with pleasure the decorations and festal appearance of things, even after the particular attractions are forgotten.
Arizona republican., 1908-10-30

and everybody agreed to the project of decoration, of Washington street un- animously. The other streets will be mentioned farther along. It was de- 1 cided to illuminate Washington from Second avenue to Third street, with electric lights, banners and flags, and
 committee of two was appointed on each block to collect funds. The com mittees are as follows:
 Between Second and First avenues. Theodore Haffner and Geo. A Mintz;
 between First ave. and Center c. H. Davidson and P. A. TharaldsoR; be- tween Center and First street, Walter
 Talbot and A. G. Hulett; between First
 and Second streets, Barry Goldwater and Aaron Goldberg; between Second and Third streets, Chas. Korrick and
 J. B. Long.
 That there might be some system about the business it was decided that every occupant of a business place should be asked to subscribe at the rate of 40 cents per foot for the front age he uses. That seemed to be agree able all around, and it is believed will cover the necessary expense of the
 ufNOl dAADAlS- I O SAApN HUN BAtei'AAlSAs the plan is working, it is announced that the committee on the block be- tween Center and First ave. in just ten minutes secured the subscription of all the business men in its jurisdic- ton. There is no doubt that all those in the other blocks will respond just as heartily.
 The chairman was empowered to ap- point another committee to take full charge of the decorations, and named r. A. TharaldsOn, Barry Goldwater and R H. BUrmister. as such committee. The committee which did a similar work last year at the conclusion of the fair, filed a report with the board of trade which was most satisfactory. and this committee will do the same thing, so there will be public accounting of all money spent.

PHOENIX AND MESA
 SUBURBAN RAILROAD
Surveying of the Line to Begin in a Very Few Weeks.

Harry J. Bennett says great many people have expressed their doubts concerning his heralded project Uf building a railroad between Phoenix and Mesa City for the transportation of both freight and passengers. All he has to say in the premises is that he will very soon present some evil dences that nobody can doubt.
 Very soon after election the engi- neers will begin a survey of the pro- posed line. Salt river will be crossed according to present plans at some point between the two bridges in Tenn pc or the one bridge and piece of an other that still stands. The bridge will most likely be built by the Fl Paso Bridge and Iron company of Fl PasO.
 He does not care to go into explicit details at this time but says a large block of the stock has already been disposed of and there is more for any local resident who wants it. It is not a subscription list nor a bonus but a straight stock sale and the man who buys will get the stock.
 He believes the railroad will be more cheaply constructed and operated than steam line and serve every purpose of a steam line and more for trains will be run frequently with the same expense. There will be no electric power houses to build as the motive power will be gasoline.

PHOENIX THEATER ROW
 THE PICTURE SHOWS
Entertaining and Educational Programs That Appeal to All.

The block on Ist Ave, between Washington and Adams has been christened "Theater Row." The ''Peo- ples," "The Electric" and the Airdome theaters located in this block are be- coming popular resorts for the amuse- ment loving public As a matter of fact, the programs offered at these theaters are entertaining and educa- tional. Scenes from foreign cIimes are pictured from life nightly, and the public are enable to see the actual scenery. even more beautiful than if they were on the spot, for the pictures are made under the best possible con- ditions and from the most picturesque points.
 This form of amusement has greatly appealed to the public of this city and is bound to be a success. Being entire ly devoid of the common sort of show vulgarity," it caters to all classes. No longer do the creeds preach against a clean, educational entertaining pro-
 gram such as is produced at the three theaters mentioned.
 The entertainment furnished by these theaters so far has proved not only ac- ceptable but very amusing, and if the
 standard of excellence that has been maintained in the past is to be taken as a criterion, there can only be pre- dicted for the future a overwhelming success for the theaters mentioned, and incidentally a clean form of amuse- ment for the people of Phoenix,

Phoenix is certainly on a building boom just now. Go where you may you can see new houses or fOunda- tions for new houses. There have been about 30 new houses built in the Evergreen Tract in the last year. all nice ones. There are three fine Business Buildings going up on Adams St near First Ave. of the concrete style, and many of the residences are built of concrete blocks which are very beautiful. It seems, every one is trying to outdo his neighbOr by hay ing the finest house and yard. Yes, and then, they all go to Massie x Sons to get nice furniture.

some reliable parties state that faster
records than this have been made right
in the village, though as yet there
seems to be no way provided to ascertain
just what speed these automobiles were

This action on the part of the trustees
is commendable it now remains for the
board to devise way to get rating of
the speed of the machines. 1t is easy
to say that an automobile is going ten or
twenty or thirty miles an hour, but the

fire.
The Peshtigo fire of October, 1871, was
still more severe than the Miramichi. 1t
covered an area of more than 1000
square miles in Wisconsin, and involved
loss in timber and other property, of
many millions of dollars. Between 200
and 1900 persons persisted, including
nearly half the population of Peshtigo. at
that time town of 1000 inhabitants.
Other fires of about the same time were
most destructive in Michigan A strip
about 40 miles wide and $50 miles long,
extending across the central part of the
State. from Lake Michigan to Lake HUI
ron, was devastated. The estimated loss
to timber was about 1000 900, eco feet
board measure, and in money over SIO,-
000, 900. Several hundred persons per-
ished.
In the early part of September, 1881,
great fires covered more than 1 800 square
miles in various parts of Michigan. The
estimated loss, in property, in addition
to many hundred thousand acres of val
liable timber, was more than $4,000, 00O
Over 5000 persons were made destitute.
and the number of lives lost is variously
estimated at from $50 to 500.
The most destructive fire of more re-
cent years was that which started near
Hinckley, Minnesota, September 1, 1894.
While the area burned over was less
than in some great fires, the loss of life
and property was very heavy. Hinckley
and six other towns were destroyed,
about 500 lives were lost, more than 9, 900
persons were left destitute, and the esti-
mated loss in property of various kinds
was $25, 900 900. Except for the heroic
conduct of locomotive engineers and 9TH
er railroad men the loss of life would
have been much greater.
This fire was all the more deplorable,
because it was wholly unnecessary. For
many days before the high wind came
and drove it into uncomfortable fury, it
was urning slowly close to the town of
Hinckley, and could have been put out

Historic Forest Fires.

The terrible work of the flames which
have burned over and destroyed hun
dreds of thousands of acres of timber and
property to the value of millions in the
Lake States, recalls to memory other
great forest fires which have attained
historic Importance.
One of the earliest of these was the
great Micamichi fire 1925. 1t began its
greatest destruction about one o'clock in
the afternoon of October 7 of that year,
at place about 80 miles above Newcas-
tie, on the Miramichi river, in New
Brunswick. Before ten o'clock at night
| it was 90 miles below Newcastle. In
nine hours it had destroyed belt of for
est 80 miles long and 25 miles wide.
Over more than two and one-half million
acres, almost every living thing was
killed. Even the fish were afterwards
found dead in heaps on the river banks.
Five hundred and ninety buildings were
burned, and number of towns, includ-
ing Newcastle, Chatham and Douglas
town, were destroyed. One hundred
and sixty persons persisted, and nearly a
thousand head of stock. The loss from
the Miramichi fire is estimated at $780,
600, not including the value of the tim
Der.
In the majority of such forest fires as
this, the destruction of the timber is a
more serious loss, by far than that of the
cattle and buildings, for it carries with it
the impoverishment of a whole region for
tens or even hundreds of years after
wards The loss of the stumpage value
of the timber at the time of the fire is
but a small part of the damage to the
neighborhood. The wages that would
have been earned in numbering, added to

keith's Theatre.

One of the most important announce
ments of the season is made for the
week of October 9th, when La Sylphe,
the classic dancer, will make her first
appearance in Boston. This exponent of
the biblical dances has been the sensa-
ton of New York the past six months
and was the first of long line, who en-
tered into this form of entertaining when
1t became popular. The only real rival
of the Sylphe has been Maud Allen, who
has been London sensation for more
than year. La Sylphe is strikingly, if
not daringly, original in her conception
of the dances described in the Bible. and
her appearance at Keith's will undoubt-
eddy be one of the events of the season.
The bill for the week will be of de
cidedly high class character, among the
entertainers being Villa Holt Wakefield
in a pianologue. There will also be
Charley Case, the old time minstrel and
story teller; the Eight Kelinos, Euro
pean acrobatic sensation, Harry Allister
the Three Lelliotts; AL Rayno's Bull
Terriers: the Gillette Sisters, and the es-
pecially arranged entertainment of NOV
ing pictures. travel features and special
singing numbers.
