the Twentieth Infantry and the amateur

The result is a matter for great con.
graduation for everybody concerned. 1t
is something pretty fine for National
Guard team to hand it to the regulars.
We may expect it in baseball but in
shooting the amateurs have all the
worst of it.
The great beauty of yesterdays vic.
tory is that it says so much for the
possibilities of our Hawaiian team at

''We are all here now. and such
things as Mr.. Childs brought with him
are being sunpacked, about two-thirds
being already in the building You
have no idea how much detail there is,
and yet it is intensely interesting. All
the men we have to deal with are men,
especially our superior officers and CO.
workers in the government exhibits.
HWe are busy now building frames,
ct cetera, stands for our exhibits, and
cleaning up furniture. Unfortunately,
some of the polish was spoiled by paper
sticking to it.

you on May 3rd, when I discovered
that the Dix was to be so late, but
[ did not, and was highly gratifed to
find that those in charge at your end

on the Alameda. 1t has practically
saved the day. We can now make a
first class showing, and very few peo-

of what we have so far unpaeked seems
to be broken. Except a few picture

While the strike continues the lead

But hose, fremen and water were
unnecessary TO tackle the source of the

happily the fears of the insurance men
were unwarranted.

\. R. OF-WAY

HILO, Hawaii, June 3.-Arrange-
ments have practically been agreed
upon between the Hilo Railroad Com
pany and the Onomea Sugar Company
for a right-of-way for the former in
the extension of its line to Hamakua.
The matter of appraisement of the
value of the land to be taken will be
arranged later in the customary way,
the railroad in the meantime being al
lowed to lay its rails. There are still
some small individual holders to be
settled with and work along this line,
which naturally takes time, is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. The ac-
ton of the Onomea Sugar Company,
which was confirmed both by John T.
Moir and R. ". Filler, superintendent
OF the railroad, is an indication that
the c. Brewer & Co. interests are IA
vorable TO the Hilo railroad IS extern

feeling exists on the part of other

Ralph G. E. Forster, British Consul
