DWIGHT NOT
OUT FOR LILIHA
HIS PICTURESQUE REPLY TO A
KICKER ABOUT LACK OF MACA-
DAM.

At the meeting of the Supervisors
last night, a letter was read from j.
J. Dias also petition signed by about
rs people in the Puunui district in
Guiding Dias, asking that the Board
of Supervisors repair the roads in that
district.
In Dias letter to the board, he stated
that he had asked Supervisor Dwight
about completing the matchmaking of
Liliha street. Dwights' answer was
ITO - with Liliha street, we don't
intend to do a -- thing more on that
road"
After the letter was read Chairman
Hustace ordered the letter placed in
the waste paper basket, saying the
board would not consider any such
communications.
The petition is as follows
The undersigned Taxpayers and vot-
ers respectfully call the attention OF
the Board of Supervisors to a petition
presented July %, 1907, requesting
among other things matchmaking OF
Liliha street from Kauai Road to the
Country Club, and to the fact that
since that petition was presented,
much and varied road work has been
done, indicating that there has been no
lack of funds, but rather of Willingness
to comply with said petition, and fur
ther that the voters of this locality are
not SO much interested in the building
: of road to satisfy single resident as
they are In seeing that your actions
square with promises made publicly.
We believe equal treatement requires
some attention to our prayers, which
are as follows:
1st-The grading and macadamizinR
of Liliha street from Kauai Road to
the Country Club grounds, which is in
a very bad condition even in fair wea-
Their and much worse in rainy weather
and is at all times dangerous for traffic
2nd.-The grading and matchmaking
of Alewa Road, running parallel with
the Liliha street, from Wyllie street tC
Liliha street, forming a junction which
is also in a bad condition.
3rd.-The grading and macadamizinl
of Rookie Avenue running parallel witt
Puunui Avenue between Hawaii Road
and Kauai Road, which also is in a baC
condition.
4th.-That the following Arc Lights
be installed Immediately for the safety
of the public. One arc light between
! Judd and Wylie streets more or lessil
J front OF L. l.. McCandless residence
which Is a bad bend and dangerou
! to the life of man or beast One ar
light at the corner Of Kauai and Lii
ha streets, which is a very dark cor
ner and is much needed for the safet
of the public and two arc lights Of

SICK MAN GETS MILLIONS.

morning to find himself unexpectedly
the heir to an estate valued at $10.-
600, 900, Theodore r. Shear believes his
sudden accession to n fortune will make

Cincinnati, Oct. 9.-Augustus Thorn

TELLS or pEAays VOYAGE.
Captain of Supply Boat Thinks Ex-
plorer's Progress Was Good.

PtOt 81 aoS'SSS wac SOSSs
New York. Oct. '9.-Commander
Peary's start from Etah on the Sec
ond stage of his journey into the far
north in search of the pole was de-
scribed in letter received here from
Capt. Samuel w. Bartlett.
The letter was written by Captain
Bartlett on his arrival at st. Johns
N. f., after carrying supplies to the
Peary expedition in the steamer Erik.
Captain Bartlett says the weather con-
ditions at Etah We're anything but
pleasant. 1t had been an unusually wet
and foggy summer and Peary's de-
parture north In the Roosevelt was
delayed twenty-four hours because Of
the dense fog and high winds.
1t had been planned to start on Aug.
II, but 1t was the 18th before the
steamer got away. The fog was still
dense, but Captain Bartlett says he
is sure the Roosevelt had a good pass
age up Smith sound, as the prevailing
winds were south, which would pack
the ice over on the Greenland side.
Nothing was seen of the Roosevelt at
ter 1t left Etah harbor. The letter says
that DIR. Frederick A. Cook left Cape
Hubbard on March IL with two ma
lives and fifteen dogs. No word had
been received from him up to the time
Captain Bartlett left Utah.
1T appears from Captain Bartlett's
letter that the steamer Erik, which was
in a collision with an iceberg, on the
the voyage down from Etah, is more
serious than was reported by cable
several days ago. A big hole was stove
in her bow and several times after the
collision it was found necessary to run
inshore and anchor in smooth water,
as the captain did not dare trust the
damaged vessel in rough seas. Captain
Bartlett says he believes the steamer
will be condemned.

London.
He said that the question of the
churches attitude toward divorce has
come up and that the milder IDEAS of
the American delegates in regard to it
had led the conference no decide that
the Episcopal church would recognize
divorce, allowing re-marriage TO the
innocent party.
The bishop said that he thought
there was altogether too much wealth
and ostentaton in America and said
that that and worldliness We're respon-
sible for falling off in church attend

facts. This is folly, filled with peril.
Mistaken business calculations lead
Oakland, which should he one of the
most active cities to combat plague,
to refuse appropriations for that pur-
pose.
THE danger is one which can be
controlled if it is recognized. The SER
ious menace is caused by the short
sighted notion that a business advan-
tage is to be gained by concealment.
If the infected districts will not do
their work properly, sooner of later
the whole United States may pay. and
