RICE FLOORS
WERE IN WAY
County Officials Secure Right
to Locate the New
Road.

From four to six cement ricethresh-
ing floors, one native house and two
Chinese houses stand Immediately on
the proposed new road route at Kalua-
nui, windward Oahu, which the coun-
ty proposes to substitute for the pres
emit route along the beach which is
covered with sea water at high tide.
Mayor Fern, Chairman Quinn of the
Road Committee, Secretary Riven-
burgh and Engineer Gere went over
to HauuIa yesterday afternoon and re-
turned last evening.
Chairman Quinn states that the Off
cials looked INTO the matter thorough
", and had talks with the Chinese
rce-growers as to securing rights of
way through their property. One OBJ
lection they had had to the proposed
route was that it went through their
threshing floors, and the growers were
in doubt as to whether they would
be properly reimbursed.
1t was made clear to them that their
floors would be relocated on their lands
further back from the beach, The ORR
ginal locations were decided upon by
the growers because of the windFwhich
aided in clearing the chaff from the
grain. The county proposed to the
Chinese to move the floors, the houses,
etc., and put everything in as good
or better condition than the old. The
Chinese will come to town on Thurs
day and the papers will be signed. AS
soon as this formality is concluded
the engineer will proceed with the
complete location of the new route and
in short time the cutoff will be
ready for use. The beach route has
always been Objectionable, and in the
present day of autos dry thorough
fare at Kaluanui is absolutely neces-
sary.

kAHUkU ALONE
NOW WORKING
Wireless Station at Barber's
Point Goes Out of
Commission.

Just at II clock noon on Satur-
day, over the telegraph line from the
local offices of the wireless telegraph
company flashed the words: "Goodby
Barber's Point" As the operator at
the other end of the line took the
message, a pair of nippers shipped a
wire, and connection between this city
and the old wireless station was brok-
EN- for all time.
Manager Balch left for Barber s
Point yesterday morning to superin-
tend the dismantling of the station.
The operator has gone to Kahuku,
where he is at present looking after
the messages that come in there dur
ing the daytime.
But for the wreckers, Barber s
Point is deserted, and the melancholy
atmosphere that always pervades
deserted spot tells plainly that, as a
wireless telegraph station, the point
has passed its term of usefulness. The
pulse-like click of the receivers, tell
ing the thoughts of men far out at
sea, will be heard no more.
But at Kahuku all is activity. The
big accumulators, which furnish the
power for work during the day, have
been charged. At all hours the crashl
erash crash, is heard within the oper-
ators' room as the high-powered APP
paratus sends forth its messages to
the ships upon the deep. 1t is upon
Kahuku Point that Honolulu now de-
ponds for her communication with the
other islands.

AUSTRALIAN SUGAR

ISLAND OWNER
BADLY NEEDED
Uncle Sam Is Hunting for Some
One to Come Forward and
BessSued.

WANTED-An owner for an island.
United States District Attorney
Breckons is contemplating inserting the
above want ad in all of the newspapers
of the Territory. Uncle Sam wants to
condemn an island. In order to COM
menee proceedings he must find Ian own
er for that island. But after careful
search of the records and archives,
Uncle Sam s legal representative here
has come to the conclusion that the
island never had an owner.
Breckons is thinking of publishing a
little brochure in connection with the
matter entitled, "Why Is a Bunch of
Rocks. or When Is an Island Not an
Island?'
Kiauea Point, on the windward coast
of Kauai, looks pretty good to the
authorities as a location for light
house. About 600 feet from the point
is an island, which the authorities need
to carry out their plans. A clear title
is needed, so the United States District
Attorney was appealed to. Confident Of
his ability to untangle any problem that
might face his white whiskered employ
er, Breckons started to work.
Now the government contemplates
erecting the most costly lighthouse in
the Hawaiian Islands on Kilauea point,
and it demands the clearest kind of a
clear title to the land. Either trans
fer in fee simple must be secured from
the record owners, or the property must
be condemned AS far as the point

boy IN JAIL
Suspected of Stealing Articles
From Theo. H. Davies
Warehouse.

Eddie Ahuna, a Chinese boy, en-
ployed at the warehouse of Theo. II.
Davies & Co, was arrested yesterday
noon by Chief LeaI on suspicion that
he may have been connected with the
mysterious disappearance of certain
articles of merchandise from the ware
house.
Some time ago the company became
aware of the fact that merchandise was
disappearing. A watch was set in an
effort to apprehend the thief, but with
out results. A day or two ago an en-
ploye of the company reported that he
had seen Ahuna fixing up piece Of
new hose in his front yard. The police
were notified.
When Leal went to Ahuna s home,
he was unable to find any traces of the
hose, and the boy declined to give him
any information. After questioning the
lad a bit, be came to the conclusion
that he knew more than he would tell,
so placed him under arrest.
Ahuna is booked on suspicion.

The evening organization is of- feriag a very poor excuse for the fali- ure of the Republican members of the board of supervisors to provide the sheriffs office with ranger depu- ties, as provided for by the new law. The recent legislature abolished the territorial rangers because of the bii' ter opposition to the organization in many of the counties. A Jaw was yassed then providing that where rangers were desired in any county. the board of supervisors might pro vide them. If the Cochise countJ board decides that no rangers a-S needed then they will simply endorse the view taken by the legislature when the -angers were abolished 1T the territory. Hon. B. A. Packard car hardly be held responsible for th' scts oI the legislature or for the act Of inc board Of supervisors in th' ranger matter.

DiSRUPTING THE THEATRICAL TRUST.

Tne break away in the theatrical business begins to look mere like an actual fact every day. Vt is now sn- nounced that more than seventy thea ters will refuse exclusive bookings to the theatrical trust. This Is the di- rect outgrowth of the war on the head of the theatrical trust, Abe Erlanger. declared by the ShubGts in their withdrawal from the managers assc- ciation. The Shuberts had first SC cured control of tweIve New York theaters, had under their manage. ment theaters in practically all ol the larger cities, and had won by a hard fight for admittance to the thea. ters controlled by the trust while re taining entire control of their owT houses. In addition to this is tho fact that several of the states, Texas /, first among them, have passed laws which make it impossible for thea ters to be closed to attractions not booked by the trrst. It looks as i
 the Shuberts knew that there wal success ahead before they brok' away.
 l The break came about over discrim
 nations against William Faversham whom, it seems, the trust was deter
 mined to ruin. But the cause s O
 small consequence to the countr,
 since st becomes but a means to al end. The breaking of the power o the theater trust means a tremendou
 thing in bettering theatrical offering I throughout the country. It mean better plays. both in merit and mora
 tone. and it means better productions
 IL means that the road towns whic
 are the heavy supporters of the thea'
 rical business in the United State: will get that class of plays whic
 their patronage merits and whic they have been deuied.
