! believe it is commonly thought
that Minister Gibson and King Kala-
kaua were the prime movers in the
first effort to establish a Polynesian
nation which should include all the
people of the Pacific Islands, gathering
them into one federation under the
Hawaiian flag. Documents found by
Secretary Lydecker, of the Board OF
Archives, however, show that the
scheme was a far older one. Cover
nor Boki of Oahu sailed from Honolulu
with such a scheme in mind in 1929.
This is quite a discovery. Alexander's
History tells of Boki starting, with 300
men, in the brig Kamehameha, to get
sandal wood from the South Pacific,
but says nothing of the federation
scheme. Boki was in debt and san
dial wood was getting scarce on this
island. He touched at Rotuma and
remained there ten days, and then
sailed for the New Hebrides. Moth
ing was heard of him or the vessel
again. According to the letters in
the archives which Lydecker is CLASH
flying, Boki had in mind the political
project of uniting the Pacific islands
in one nation, just as King Kalakaua
hoped many years later to do it.
.
1t was a very romantic dream. Ina
CINE an inter-island nation, composed
of al the peoples of Polynesia. Kala-
kaua made something of a start when
he concluded an alliance with Samoa,
but the famous Kaimiloa expedition,
to cement the union, pau-ed it. In
the ineffable hilarity of that match
less embassy treaties were lost and
dissipated, like liquid sunshine as it
descends on summer dust, and the
grand project of a Pacific federation
collapsed to rise no more. Neverthe-
less twas a radiant dream
$500
Want to buy a dorg?" said the
youngster in the play. Repeating that
query, beg to state that if you do,
the man to communicate with is the
poundmaster. Oahu county has new
and merciful deal for dawgs which are
arrested for being alive without a
license The old-time practice of TAX
ing them to the pound and if they are
not duly claimed using a club to send
them to happy hunting ground where
scared cats are eternal and bones can
never dry, has been given up. The
dogs are now auctioned off So if you
want to buy a pet, consult the pound
master and attend his auctions. His
goods are not merely the despised
low degree animals popularity supposed
to be the only ones which fall victims
to the dog-catcher. The other day a
dog that had been impounded and
remained unfalled for sold for $12 so.

Talking Of the police raids on Chinese
gamblers private games, l wonder if
Mr.. Chang-tso-Fan, the consul who
has just left us, and who was as fine
a Chinese gentleman as could be want
ed, told Minister WI Ting Fang that
he was one of the victims of police raid
of a little private game of Chinese gen
tlemen? He didn't make any row
about it, of course, but he probably
told the Chinese minister if he had a
chance to see him to do so. Before
leaving Mr.. Chang-tso Fan gave
voice to some expressions of profound
disgust at the local treatment of his
countrymen. He made some good
