FINE BUILDING
FOR HAWAII

The detailed plans for the Hawaiian
building for the Alaska Yukon Expo
sition have been received by the local
commission. and this week the work
of alloting space for the various ex-
hibitors will be commenced. The
amount of floor space and the approx
mate plan of the building has been
known for some time, but the plans re.
ceived from Washington yesterday gave
the first definite information.
The building as planned is fine one,
handsome externally, and arranged to
good effect within, along the lines sug'
gested from here. 1t win have one OF
the best locations in the exposition
grounds, the main avenue leading from
the main entrance of the grounds,
to the front door of the Hawaii build.
ing, The building faces the central
Cascade Court of the exposition, and
on the other three sides are Chandelar,
Vancouver and Hawaii avenues. The
building is to be much finer than that
planned for the Philippines, and will
compare very favorably with those now
building for Oregon, Washington and
California.
Locally, the plans for the Hawaiian
exhibit are going ahead in splendid
shape. Lloyd 6hilds yesterday returned
from Kauai, where he spent several
days in arranging for the manufacture
of number Of fine lauhala mats fol
the building and in visiting the schools
to create interest among the children
in the school exhibit planned. This
exhibit is being arranged for by Super
intendent Babbitt, and promises to be
something distinctly creditable to Ha
wall.
DR.. Wilcox is in general charge OF
the agricultural exhibition, with the
exception of the pineapple section
which is looked after by the pineapple
men themselves, and possibly the sugar
section, which will be planned and pre-
pared by the Planters Association
| President Damon, of the Association
| has not as yet named the committee to
have charge of this work, but expects
| to do so next week.
The rice exhibit will be directly un-
der charge of +. c. Krauss of the Elk.
| pertinent Station; Noel DEER will
| probably represent the Planters Elk
| pertinent Station on the sugar commit
! tee; d. L. Van Dine is to be in charge
of the honey exhibit, and cotton, sisal
coffee and tropical fruits will be well
looked after.
1t is probable that the pineapple
growers will hold meeting this week
| to arrange the details of their exhibit
1t is suggested that huge pineapple
some twelve or fourteen feet high
sisal topknot, be built up as the cen
trail feature of the Hawaiian exhibit
with counters arranged around it fo
the sale of sliced pines. A miniature
| pineapple field and canned pines in at
tractive display are to be a part Of
this exhibit, to look after which
force of fourteen persons will be en-
gagged.
A magnificent art and Photographic
display, including many of the bes
pictures obtainable of Hawaiian seen
cry and many photographs of views ant
people, is now in course of prepare
ton, although the pictures themselve.
will not be brought together unit
nearly the time to ship them to Seattle
| The school exhibit is well under way
The principals of the Honolulu schools
have had two meetings with Superin
tendent Rabbit already in the matter
and Mr.. Childs expects to have con
sultation with them again in the nea
future. The plans for the exhibit hav
been mapped out and good progress j
being made.
/ 1t is the intention of the commits
sioners to have very fine exhibition O.
Hawaiian relics, to be secured princi
pally from the many excellent privat,
collections in Honolulu. 1t is possible
too, that the Bishop Museum trustee
will be asked to help this exhibit b,
loaning some few of the articles in tn
museum.
| Albert James, of Hilo, will have al
exhibit Of koa furniture, and the Ha
waiian Mahogany company will ais
exhibit koa lumber, polished and raw
and also an exhibit of ohia.
