EX.WARDEN HOYT OF
THE PENITENTIARY HERE

Ex-Warden c. p. Hoyt Of the PEN
itentiary, who Is now at the head OF
one OF the largest brick manufacturing g
concerns In the state, arrived here
from Golden on Wednesday to inspect
the fire clay beds owned by g. A. Van
Buskirk and Harry Champion on Four
Mile creek with a view Of their ac-
QUESTION by purchase. A month or 20
ago samples from these fire clay de-
posits were forwarded to Mr.. Hoyt
at Golden for analysis in the chemical
laboratory OF the State School OF
Mines.
The examination was thoroughly
satisfactory and Mr.. Hoyt came here
for the purpose OF making q personal
survey OF the extent of the beds
Messrs. Van Buskirk and Champion
are the owners OF several hundred
acres OF land on Four Mile creek
through which has been traced a vein
OF fire clay 81 feet In breadth. The
beds are practically inexhaustible
and are believed to be OF quality
superior to anything OF the kind
known In southern Colorado. The
purchase OF these fire clay beds by
Mr.. Hoyt may mean the erection here
of another big brick plant.

BIG Irrigation PROPOSITION
WILL HELP CANON CITY

The Arkansas Land & Water COM
pany corporation organized under
the laws of Wyoming. is working out
an irrigation proposition that will be
of almost inestimable benefit to Can
on City and Fremont county II car
ried into effect, as there seems every
likelihood that 1t will be within the
next twelve or fifteen months.
The plans OF the company imply
the reclamation OF many thousands
OF acres OF semi-arid land in Fre-
mont, Pueblo and Ell Paso counties by
means OF a great irrigation project
costing several millions OF dollars.
The company proposes to construct
an immense storage reservoir, near
Leadville. for the impounding OF the
flood waters to be brought down the
channel OF the Arkansas river to a
point opposite the upper terminus OF
the old state ditch in the Royal
Gorge where they are to be diverted
into a big flume and carried to the
lands to be brought under cultiva-
ton.
A secondary reservoir will be made

Sunday morning. taking as his text.
End Timothy, 4th chapter and 7th
verse. II have fought a good fight. I
have finished my course. / have kept

fought three of the hardest battles of
his life. First was the battle against
being a Christian; second, the battle
as to what church to affiliate himself
with; third, the battle against being a
preacher, all of which he overcame,
and as his text testifies, nobly was
each fought. A large congregation
was out to pay their respects to this
noble man OF God. We hope he may
regain his health and again be
able to take up his chosen work. He
admonished the Sunday school to keep
forward and upward with but one
thought, home in heaven for us all
by and by. His words will be cherish

heard him. After nearly 10 years Of
labor for us he steps down and out

PLAY GOOD BALL
TENNYSON IMPROVED.
OF all sad words
These are the worst:
Back to the bench!
You're out on first"
Washington Sta

Although the baseball team of the u.
S. s. Milwaukee went down to defeat
yesterday afternoon at the league
grounds at the hands of the crack San
Ia Clara team, they played baseball
from start to finish, and the lucky
ones who journeyed out to the game
were thoroughly satisfied with the
style of ball presented. The sailor lads
fought bravely for nine innings but
Unfortunate errors on their part made
it possible for the collegians to make
ten complete rounds of the bases, while
the crack navy men were only able
to make two.
The game started with the men-of-
wars men at the bat, and when the
! inning was over the score stood 20 in
their favor. Three runs in the second
| four in the fifth, and three in the
eighth gave the Santa Claras the game
| but they had to fight for them at every
stage of the battle. Seegar did excel

the team had given him the support
necessary the game might have ended
differently. Although the college boys
were returned winners, the vanquish-
ed deserve great credit for the way
they played, and if they could stay
longer and get more practice, they
would give any team in Honolulu a
good fight for nonors. The summary
of the game follows:
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-30

Since Manager Mckenzie of the San
ia Claras mentioned rugby football as
played in England, there has been a
good deal of talk among the players
here about organizing a team, ana
there are good chances for number OF
teams being formed in the near future
to play the game. Rugby in England
is much different from our great game,
and now that some of our American
Universities have taken it up, it prom
ises to become quite the rage in in
tercollegiate sport. There are any
number of good men here who have
played American football, and it would
not take them very long to learn the
other game. The only thing to assure
the game being played here is for some
one to take the initiative and start the
ball rolling.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-30

There is some talk among the base
ball fans about a picked team from
Hawaii going up to the Coast this fall
and playing a series of games with
the best teams on the Coast. Such a
trip would be a great ad for Hawaii,
and it is safe to say that our boys
would be able to give any team on the
Coast a good run for their money.
Take JOY Fernandez, Hampton, Reu-
ter, Vannatta the Bruins brothers, En-
Sue, Kia, Aylett, Bushnell, Lyman,
Jones and Davis, and pick team from
them and they would be able to play
with any one team that ever played
the great national game. 1t is under
stood that letters have been written
and sent to the Coast relative to such
trip, and the players themselves are
waiting patiently for some word which
will make the trip possible.

A DAY
FOR AUTOS
PLANS TO HAVE A RACE CARNI-
VAL AT KAPIOLANI PARK ON
LABOR DAY.

Some of the local lovers of auto
MODELLING are talking about holding a
race carnival at Kapiolani Park on
Labor Day. For the sake of the sport
and to create an interest in the racing
game here in Hawaii, it would be a
very good thing to have some races.
providing of course that the track is
put in better condition than it is at
present. OF course high speed could
not be made as the corners as they
are not banked, but good speed can be
make ,on the straight Always, and that
would be interesting enough. Have a
five, ten, twenty, and fifty mile race
and the largest crowd ever present at
the track will be on hand, as the Pa
cific fleet will be here then, and the
men love sport of any kind.
There hate only been a few races
here in Honolulu and there is no rea-
son in the world why we should not
have auto racingff, as there are a good
many good cars here which could
easily be made ready for a race. The
Automobile Club will probably take
some definite action in the near future
on the proposed meet, and the deails
published later.
