IS A PROMINENT
WEST AUSTRALIAN

The bill for the survey of a route
for the transcontinental railway across
Australia has been passed by the Com
monwealth Parliament" said the Hon.
orable Colonel z. Lane, member of the
Legislative Council of West Australia,
a visitor in Honolulu. There are only
about 672 miles Of road yet to build.
and it is over a level country present
ing no engineering difficulties, with no
bridges 10 build. There seems every
reason 10 believe that the road wiz be
built before very long and West Aus
tralia will be connected by railroad
with the other states of the Common
wealth greatly to the benefit of all but
especially of West Australia
Col. Lane is mining man in West
Australia, and is on his way TO Mexico
where ne has two sons who are en-
gagged in mining there. He arrived here
by the Aorangi a fortnight ago and
has been going pretty thoroughly over
this ISLAND while here. He sailed by
the Alameda Wednesday.

Mining in West Australia is in a
generally prosperous condition. There
is nothing OF the hustle and excite

There are no new discoveries of any
Importance nor any particular develop

and on the whole the state is in

make either Melbourne or sydney the
capital. The Commonwealth agree

Floral Parade
Continued from Page Six.)

One other large touring car carried
the members of the Promotion Com
mittee proudly in the parade, this be-
ing Sam Parker's big car. which sport
ed the national colors. The occupants
were President F. L. Waldron, w. T.
Lucas and J. L. Mclean.
Another striking car was that of the
red and white, occupied by Miss Da-
mon, Miss Glove. Miss Irene Fisher
and Miss Hedemann, the young ladies
being dressed in white and wearing
deep red carnations, all carrying
white parasols. The body of the car
was of red and white blossoms and
most attractive with its fair occu-
pants.
a unique design was that adopted for
the Ross car, driven by Donald Ross.
This was a sugar design, cane tas-
sells and young cane forming the floral
decorations, against background of
sugar bags. Miss Marguerite Creigh-
ton, who accompanied Mr.. Ross, rep
resented a bag of the high-grade prod
uct of the Honolulu Plantation mill,
one hundred per cent sweetness.
The Kilohana Art League had tltrre
cars in the runabout section, harle-
quins from the Mardi Gras in red, yell
low and green. The red car of the trio
was selected by the automobile judges
as the winner of the third prize, their
costumes being just a trifle more COM
plete than those of their fellows.
r. w Perkins drove his runabout,
which was banked with bougainvillea
and green's, while Judge and Mrs.
Kingsbury occupied the Judges run
about. tastefuny decorated with the
American and Hawaiian colors.
MACHINES EXTRAORDINARY.
Richard and George Cooke, as Merry
Nat and Happy Hooligan, had a car
that excited the wonder of the pOpu-
lace, first how it ever went at all and
secondly because it failed to break
down. From outward appearances it
was a collection of junk of the year
that Washington chopped the cherry
tree. while the appearance of the pair
behind the mud-guards corresponded
A flag went to the Cookies.
Another relic was the Silver Spoon"
the resurrected car of a famous man,
several replicas of whom occupied the
seats behind the pair of mules that
trudged along with the music box. The
carbureters of this turnout tangled
with the chauffeur bearings before the
parade finished, however, and the en-
try had to be scratched.
An accident occurred, too. to the
water wagon float of the Floradoras,
the gasoline being found to be until
tered Nuuanu water. sixty above proof.
This stranded the Floras at the foot
of the Punahou hill. although the
Doras transferred to a mule and made
their bow to the judges.
One other car had a considerab BILE part
in the parade. although not of il. That
was the machine driv-n by William ].
West and devoted to the uses of the
press. This car did splendid service
and assisted materially in enabling
the representatives of the three daily
papers to be where things We're do
ing. Mr.. West won the thanks of the
through his obligingness
and courtesy. as well as through the
skill he displayed as chauffeur.

q request for "some rhymes"
Mr.. Clark was at the house Of a

autograph album in which were in
scribed the names Of her various

Mr.. Clark saw his opportunity, and
