CHECK ON
MAYOR

There is to be a meeting OF the City
and County Supervisors this evening
at 1880 O'Clock, but people, outside OF
the Board of Supervisors perhaps, are
wondering what is to be done, for the
consideration of the appropriation bill
for general expenses will not come
up until Thursday night, and tomor-
row, Tuesday, is the day of another
meeting.
1t is reported that the policy Of the
Supervisors is to adjourn from day to
day, although last Saturday was one
of the days missed, with a view to
always having an opening for a meet
ing, and to prevent Mayor Fern from
himself calling a meeting and restrict
ing the business thereof to what he
may wish considered.
Governor Frear called on Mayor
Fern in his office in the Mcintyre
building at IL o'clock this morning,
returning the call of the Mayor made
at the executive building last week.
Pleasantries were exchanged. Secre-
tary Rhodes attended the Mayor.

OR. ANOL. REDUCES

Beginning March l the Oahu Rail-
way & Land Co., reduces passenger
rates over its entire system. The
rates will be cents per mile first
classes, single fare; 10 cents per
mile, second class, single fare; 2 IL
cents per mile, first class, return; and
2 cents per mile, second class, return.
This action is entirely voluntary on
the part of the railway. The Wahiawa
branch has been brought into the same
rate arrangement, the rate on the Wa
hiawa branch having been cut from
$1.75 to 1.25, first class; and from
$1.55 to 81, second class.
Examples of old and new rates are
here given: Honolulu to Kahuku, first
class, round trip, from 81 to 50 SIS; to
Waialua, from SO 20 to 50 so; to Waia-
nae, from 81 80 to 81 65 to Eva Mill,
from 81 20 to soc; to Wahiawa, from
$1.75 to $1.25; to Waipahu, from S5c to
zoe; to Pearl City, from 80 to go; to
Aiea, from 55c to 45c.
Under the new arrangement the use
of 1,000-mile tickets can be had by any
person presenting them not being limit
ed to the purchaser as Heretofore.
The weekend tickets of 81 and $3.50
10 Haleiwa and return and to Kahuku
and return will not be changed. This
reduction of rates. it is expected, will
result in increased travel.

Driving the Lion to Bay.

The shape made It easy place to
drive, for a little way out from tue
point one could easily command the
whole OF it. The lion was almost GER
tain to break out of one of the sides
towards the bush on the banks OF the
riyer-bed, in which case | should get
an easy broadside shot If We fol-
lowed the track into the place. the
noise We were sure to make would be
legs. and he would sneak out at one
side as we went In at the other, es-
pecially as the water had left lot of
dead sticks along the edges, over
which 1t would be impossible TO walk
quietly. Abdullah also said that from
the way he had wandered about this
lion must be very hungry. and would
sleep lightly, These considerations
decided us to drive, I posted myself
with Abdullah few yards out from
the point, and the other two men. hav-
ing collected some stones. began throw

was right about this lion sleeping
lightly; for at the first stone there

This lion was quite maneless, ex-
ccpt for a few long hairs on each side
OF the neck, and his teeth were worn
down quite short. so he was evidently
very old He was in very good condi-
ton, Notwithstanding, but his stomach
was quito empty. which accounted for
his going so far before lying up. We
had to stop at the main camp for the
night when we got there. and did not
follow up our camels till the next day.
I have described this track rather at
length because 1t is good example Of
many similar days.

Death of the Jungle Lord.

Abdullah called up jana and the
pony boy. and they soon had the hide
of and tied on the pony. | thought
all the time that Abdullah knew all
about tho other one. but as he seemed
to be going right home, asked him II
We had not better go and look for it.
and he replied that 1t was the same
lion all the time, and that | had
missed II the first shot, | did not feel
quite sure about it myself. but the
moan IL the bushes could only have
come from q wounded beast. so l told
him we had better go and look any
way. He evidently thought 1t was
waste OF time. but when we got back
TO where the lion had been hit We
soon found some blood, and going
quietly down little path between the
''irgin" bushes We came round a cor.
ner almost on top Of the lion. He was
stone dead. l was very pleased at

nothing about 1t. | agreed and went
on With Abdullah. We were walking
quietly along the outside of one OF the
thlckets when Abdullah suddenly

to get my wind a little before he
rushed me back again. AS we ran
round the place where We had first
seen the lioness, q fine lion appeared
walking slowly out Of another thicket

Reading the Lion Tracks.

Abdullah still insisted that there
had been lions round the camp. and
a little later we found the spoor of
one big lion by the body of the half
eaten hycna. Tho ground was very
stony and there were no other tracks
to be seen. but one lion could hardly
have dragged the donkey and heavy
barrel away SO quickly, so there were
probably more. The other hunters
had got hold of man at the village
who said he knew where the lions
always lay. so they went with nim
Soon after they left. Abdullah, who
had been hunting about, came and
told me that he had picked mp the
track OF ono lion on soft ground lit
to follow II. At that tine mono of us
knew much about tracking, and we
had had such bad luck after the elc.
plants that VIC did not think much
of our shikaries. and | did not think
1t was much good, Abdullah persuaded
me and went After we mad followed
the track for some distance | quite
caught his enthusiasm. and when the
single track was joined by three 9th
ers. | was divided between delight at
the prospect of having four lions all
to myself and the thought that per
haps had more on my hands than /
could manage alone.
After track OF about an hour we
came in sight of two OF three big
thickets OF "irgin" bushes surrounded
by open mimosa scrub ana intersected
