MANY LAWYERS AMONG
CONGRESSIONAL PARTY

Lawyers and newspaper men make
up the greater part Of the Compression
al party that is to arrive at Honolulu
the end of this month as guests of the
Territory. According to a classified
ton that has been made by Chief Clerk
Matheson, there are fourteen lawyers
IN the party and three journalists, two
bankers, one real estate man, one phvsi-
elan and one chemist.
Of the twentythree members of Con-
gress, seventeen are Republicans and
six are Democrats. The Democrats
all come from the Solid South. while
of the Republicans, four are from the
East, nine from the Middle West and
four from the West.
Hawaii in this party is getting Just
the men who should see what kind of
a country this Territory is, the men
who are able to do most for her when
there are things to be done. the men
who will be the friends she most needs.
Among them are the chairman and eight
members of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee of the House-nearly majority,
there being only nineteen members of
the committee; four members of the
House Rivers and Harbors Committee;
the chairman and one other member of
the Public Lands and Buildings Com
mittee of the House; the chairman of
the House Committee on Merchant Ma
rine; the chairman of the Agricultural
Committee of the House; one member
of the Public Health and Quarantine
Committee of the House; one member

mittee on Military Affairs; two mem
bers of the Senate Coast Defense Com
mittee. The Senate Puuiic Lands and
Buildings Committee and the Immigra-

Altogether, it is evident that Mr. Me
Clellan has made a careful and wise
selection and has been fortunate in
getting the men he wanted.

ingly; it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy Of
known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

adequate to carry off floods such
as have visited the city and steps

Seventy-five thousand dollars
in bonds was voted at the last

INSTRUCTs COMMISSIONER TO
CALL FOR BIDS-DIRT TO
BE FLYING IN FEBRUARY.

Work on the municipal power
plant on the Nisqually river is to
be started as speedily as possible.
Last night the council author
lied the commissioner to call for
bids on the tunnel and dam and
this call will be issued about the
end of the month.
Engineer Kelsey has the plans
for the headworks and tunnel
about ready for the contractors.
He estimates that this branch of
the work will take nearly two
years and will cost in the neigh
borhood of $650,000. The rest of
the work can be done In much less
time and II is the plan to get the
long job started soon. Dirt will
probably be flying by the latter
part of February at the latest.
