Timbering
Of Puma

Governor Frear and the heads of de-
partments concerned are working on
a proposed license for the timbering of
the Puma forests belonging to the gov
ernment. N
: Originally the application was from
the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber CO.,
but with other affairs of that corpora
tion it has passed to the Hawaiian
Development Co. under foreclosure of
mortgage There is about 10000 acres
of forest land involved and the timber
proposed to be culled is ohia wood
If the license be granted, as seems
probable, the product will go to hl
the contract with the Santa Fe Rail
road for ties.

JOHNSON AND GEE
BEAT ROTH AND LOW

The pair that won the Manila tennis
championship last year, Lieut.. Wait c.
Johnson, of the Eighteenth Infantry,
and E. S. Gee, of the local army pay
master s Office, played together yester-
day afternoon in an exhibition game
with Will Roth and Captain Low of the
Marines, and beat the latter three
straight sets on the Beretania courts.
The scores were 10-S, Sc. and 6-3.
All four men were in excellent form,
especially Lieutenant Johnson, who has
played no tennis for several months,
and made a remarkable showing.
The first set was a hummer. The
games went to deuce time after time,
and it took good teamwork and quick
returns on the part of the victors to
overcome the smashing serves and re-
turns of Roth and Low.
The second set was just about as close
and holly contested, but the third was
a trife easier for the Manila combina-
ton, which had settled down to its
stride and kept the RothLow team at
a distance.
There was a large and fashionable
crowd out to watch the games, and
everybody thoroughly enjoyed the ex-
cellent tennis that was played. 1t IS
seldom that such really classy playing
is seen here. and the impromptu match
was a great treat for all the local ten
mis- enthusiasts.

BIG PREPARATIONS
FOR SUNDAYS RACE

Archie Robertson offered to give an
additional prize for the sea-fea race
on Sunday. He stated that he wanted
to give a prize and thought that paint
was about the most useful thing, so he
will put up half a gallon for prize.
The skipper who takes first place will
have the choice of the McInerny prize
of a pair of yachting shoes, or the Rob
ertson prize of paint. The one who
gets the latter prize can either take it
all in copper or white paint, or can
get one can of each. This is a very
appropriate prize as it is just enough
for one coating for a sea-fiea.
There has been a good deal Of prep
aration for Sundays race. The Papoose
has been hauled out on her davits and
been smoothed off below the water line.
The Dancing Sally has also undergone
some changes and the Galloping Mary
has been dismantled and is having sew
eral things altered. A spreader has
been added. her wooden centerboard
taken out and an iron one put in and
a coat of copper paint applied below
the water.

INTENSE INTEREST
IN FOOTBALL GAME

Few events in the sporting line have
ever raised so much preliminary ex-
citement in this town as the football
game between the High School and
oahu College, scheduled for tomorrow
afternoon on Alexander field.
This will be the third game of the
interscholastic series. In the first game
the High School was defeated by the
narrow margin of six to five, by the
College of Hawaii Last Saturday the
Punahou team put it all over the Ag-
rieulturists, so that, on paper, 1t looks
as though Punahou had cinch for
the game tomorrow.
But the High boys have been work
ing very hard and faithfully and they
will have a team greatly improved over
the one which was So narrowly defeat
ed by the vegetarians-
There will be but slight changes IN
either of the hneups from the last
times they played. Some OF the backs
may he moved round a little. but the
general lineups win be just about the
same.

COURSE OF CONSOLATION
PACKAGE RACE CHANGED
Yachts Will Start Inside Harbor and Finish
at Honolulu Instead of the Pearl
Harbor Clubhouse.

Fort street tonight at ten o'clock. All
those who are going On the trip are
again requested to notify Commodore
Wilder and not come running down at
the last moment without telling any
body that they were going.
The change in the course from the
original one, was made at the sugges-
ton of the shippers of the racing
yachts. All the yachts entered, except
the Kapolei, if she races, will be com
ing back to this harbor anyway, and
so it was thought advisable to have the
finish in Honolulu.
There will be three and possibly four
entries. The Kamehameha, Charlotte
C. and Gladys viii certainly start and
there is a possibility that Renton may
enter the Kapolei, but this is not yet
known definitely.
With the wind blowing as it has done
during the last few days, the yachts
should be able to make quick time of
it to Kaena point. If the breeze holds
all the way there, they should have
their packages by midnight. In that
case they will be back to the starting
point before midday and possible by
nine or ten clock.
The starting line was made from the
Healani float as the part of the harbor,
mauka of the line, is the widest and
will enable the yachts to jockey for a
start without danger of fouling each
other.
There is plenty of interest being tax,
en- in the race in yachting circles and
none of the shippers have any difficult
in raising crews for the race. With
smooth water and a good breeze, the
race shonld prove very pleasant event.

SECOND MEETING Is

club and the black buoy off the light
house, thence out of the harbor to Ka-
ena point.

port spreader. Arrived off the Hawaii,

small boat alongside the Hawaii. The
representative in the small boat will
receive a package which must be taken
back aboalu the yacht. After receiving
the packages each yacht will then make

necessary to round the Hawaii, as long
as the package is received on board.
From Kaena point the course will be
back to Honolulu harbor and not to
Pearl Harbor. Packages must be deliv-
cred to Judge who viii be waiting

that may go in small boat in receiv-
ing or delivering packages.

famous agreement with Mr.. Castle, is
not inclined to look at matters now

81 approached Mr.. Castle in this
matter during the session of the legis-

any change of the liquor law of 1907.

of the Moore bill would bring about a
very active campaign on the part of
the temperance people and force the
liquor men to put up fight on the
defensive, a fight that would take up
time and money and result in constant
disagreeable incidents.

thority to bind any organization on the
questions at issue, and that it amounts
to mere understanding. [ did not

the bill would pass the house. I
thought it would be defeated. although

threw it out.
