ARlE|GH WAS ONCE
4 RAILROAD MAN

The Pilot and Philadelphia Reading
Railway Men:-Among the ex- employes
who have recently called at the Reading
Terminal to look up old friends was
A. B. Arleigh, of Honolulu. Eleven
years ago, after a continuous service of
ten years in the freight and passenger
service, Mr.. Arleigh, according to his
own story, concluded that the railroad
was a slow road to wealth and prosper
ity. Carefully considering the various
channels through which he might better
his condition, he resolved to make a
bold stroke. Certain literature which
he had Incidentally come in contact
with gave him courage to believe that
the Hawaiian Islands, better known at
that time as the Sandwich Islands,
would be field that would welcome
his efforts.
Charged more with grit and determi-
nation than with worldly goods he lost
no time in arriving at the promised
land. Two years Of hard labor bore him
such difficulties that he returned to the
States. This was of not long duration,
however, for IN less than year he
was back again to the land of sugar
and pineapples, where he entered into
business for himself with such success
that his grandest antieipations were ex-
ceeded. Having acquired, through siren
uous labors and constant application To
business, enough of the worlds goods
TO care for the future, he has placed
his business in other hands and is now
on his way on trip around the world
He expects to visit all the principal
points of interest in Europe, Asia and
Egypt, sailing finally from Japan back
to the land of his prosperity.
This is pretty good for railroader |
who was accustomed to work innumer-
able hours day for small wages. Re- |
gardless of what the public may think, /
it goes to show that there are at least |
some men among us who can do things |
if they will dig mp ambition enough |
to try.

Buddhist Official viii Spend
Nine Days in the
Islands.

Soncho Otani, the future patriarch of
the great West Hongwanji Buddhist
church of Japan, will arrive here on
the Mongolia on October 10. The last
mail from the mainland brought par-
tleulars concerning the coming visit of
the prince of the Buddhist church. and
local Buddhists are making entertain
ment plans in accordance Herewith.
The Rev. Imamura, head of the West
Hongwanji Mission in Hawaii, has gem
eral supervision over the arrangements.
and all plans viii be submitted to him
for approval before they are finally In
corporated into the program. During
his stay here, Soncho Otani will be the
guest of Rev. Imamura The distin-
guished guest will probably continue
his voyage toward Japan on the Tenyo
Maru, which sails from here on Octo-
Der 10. Thus he will have some nine
days to spend in this Territory.
The nature of the entertainment
which is being arranged for soncho
Otani has not yet been made public,
but it viii be very elaborate, for the
visitor is the highest official of the West
Hongwanji church who has ever been
here, and local members of the church
are determined to make the occasion
memorable one.

Count Kojui Otani, patriarch of the
West Hongwanji Buddhist church The
patriarchate is hereditary, and, Count
Kolui being childless, the honors and
dignities will in time revert to his
brother Soncho. Soncho Otani is lust
completing tour of the world, hav-
ing left Japan shortly after the close
of the Russo-.Japanese war.

ADVERTISING
COMES HIGH
County's Bill Runs More Than
Two Thousand Over the
Appropriation.

County Clerk Kalauokalani s origina
estimate of $500 deficit in the eoun
tvs advertising account looks tame
compared with the actual figures. al
they have finally been worked out. The
$500 was eaten up long ago, and up to
date the $1,000, originality appropriated
to pay for legal advertising during the
current six months, has already been
exceeded to the extent Of $780, At
that the end is not yet.
When the remains of the original
$1,000 began to look pretty small, the
supervisors tried the expedient of ap-
propriating the necessary advertising
money by means of resolutions. In
this way an extra 5000 was secured.
But when the bills began to mount up
ward in spite of the extra appopria-
lions, the assistant county clerk prepar-
ed resolution, calling for a lump APP
preparation of $4,000. The appropria-
ton was made, but now there is only
some 5000 of that last sum that will
remain after the bills which already
have piled up have been paid.
Even the little resolution appropriate
ing the extra $4,000 has cost the county
some money, it being necessary, under
the law, to publish it fifteen times be
fore the money becomes available.
As the law now stands, every reso-
luton appropriating money in sum
greater than 5000, and every ordinance,
must be published fifteen times. Five
times the resolution or ordinance must
he published before the supervisors can
take final action. After the Mayor has
affixed his signature, another bunch of
publications, numbering ten, must be
made before the ordinance or resolution
becomes a law.
IT, by any chance, change should be
made in an ordinance after the first five
publications have been made, another
five publications are necessary. IF. af-
ter the second lot, the Mayor vetoes
the ordinance, and the supervisors fail
to pass it over his veto, the ten pub
LEGATIONS go for nothing. Should the
Mayor sign the ordinance, it would still
be necessary to publish it ten times,
so the total number of publications
would number twenty. Many of these
ordinances that have lately been passed
are of considerable length, and the cost
of twenty publications is something
pretty stiff
County Auditor Bicknell put up a |
stiff fight to secure the amendment of |
the law, relative to the publication of |
ordinances, during the last session of |
the Legislature, but he found himself |
unable to secure any modification. That |
the repeated publication is ridiculous
was pretty generally conceded, but for
some reason none of the lawmakers
showed any great desire to make
change.
There seems but little probability
hat the 5000 yet available will last
through the current six months, and
he auditor is wondering where the
county will find itself when the half
rear is done.
