ATHLETIC PARK TO
OPEN JULY FOURTH
GROUNDS FOR FIELD SPORTS AND
TRACK FOR WHEEL AND RUN
MING EVENTS.

The promoters of the new Athletic
Park which will be put in near the
junction of Kukui with Liliha streets,
announced late yesterday that the
place would be opened and would be
the scene of great athletic doings on
July Fourth.
This program will consist OF field
stunts, baseball games, wheel events
and perhaps ONE Marathon running
OF the first class.
The grounds will be enclosed by a
high fence, nearly circular in shape.
The grandstand will extend across
the south arc, almost due east and
west and facing south. Straight in
front will be the baseball grounds and
around the sides Of the park will be
the track for wheel and foot races.
A road to the park will be laid from
Aa1a street near Beretania running
north This highway will be wide
and hard. suitable for rigs as well as
pedestrians A second entrance will
be within couple of blocks of the
cars.
Plans of the park, grandstand and
appurtenances were prepared some
days ago. but were withheld from the
public prints until all the details were
we'll in hand The last points were
settled yesterday and the dirt will be-
gin to fly at once The first thing to
be looked after is the matter of drain
age but natural conditions will make
it easy to check the flow of water
from above upon the park site and to
keep the latter dry. Work will be
rushed with all possible speed and by
the first of July there will be only
the finishing touches to go on.
The baseball grounds will have am
pie field room. From side to side
the width will be something over 300
feet, while the length of the grounds
will be about APO feet The athletic
track will be one fifth of a mile in
length, or, in racing parlance, five
laps to the mile
The Athletic Park will cost consid-
cradle money. The promoters them
selves do not yet know how much,
but, lease and all, it will not run far
short of $1,000. They hope, however,
| to make fair interest on their invest
ment, and such seems entirely posi-
| bic. TO do so admission will have
to be paid for and there VIII be the
usual charge for other privileges.
The Athletic Park has the advan-
tage over anything heretofore at
tempted Of being close to the city
center and in a thickly populated
quarter 1t is also within very
short distance Of three car lines-Lt-
liha street, Hotel street and the King
street through line.
The promoters Of the enterprise are
well known business men Of Homo
lulu, and they have powerful friends
behind them. One Of them has been
connected with many enterprises, hay
ing as their object the supplying of
substantial, up to date amusments to
the city.
One thing that has given the pro-
moters good cause for hope concern
ing the success of their enterprise is
the announcement, published in an
other column Of this page, of the COM
plete abandonment of the League
Baseball Park in Kamoiliili. This
will give the Athletic Park the whole
field, it being in future the only en-
closed grounds in the city

remedy. The bees took lively
interest in the healing experiment.

tains radium, which is quoted at
from ~ 10 million dollars a

Thomas F. Welsh, millionaire mine
owner eof Denver. Through the
Finson4waish researchsdepartment
of the Colorado state school of mines
at Golden, which is supported by
Mr.. Walsh. tests viii be made free
of cost of all samples of pitchblende
and the results will be regarded as
confidential. To meet the prelimi
nary cost of the undertaking, Mr.
Walsh today sent to President
Victor c. Anderson of the school
of mines a check for $4,000. In his
communication to DR.. Anderson he
makes the following appeal to the
prospectors of Colorado and the
United States:
ITO prospectors and mine owners
of Colorado: Radium has never
been produced in the United States.
1t comes from pitchblende and is
of most priceless value. Austria
has a monopoly on this ore. Why
should we not produce i. in Colo
rado? The richest prize in the
mining world is a rim of pitch (
blende ore. This rare ore is apt to
be found in many mining sections
of the state. In finding it you will /
be enriching yourself, placing YOUR
state in the front rank and helping
to open a new industry in mining. /
The undersigned trustingly appeals
to his brother Drospectors and mine
operators to look out fer this min
eral. He believes the doing so
will bring great results.
THOMAS F. WALSH. "
President Anderson stated that to
a limited extent the school is ready I
to furnish responsible persons
samples of pitchblende to aid in
familiarizing prospectors with its
appearance.

The growth of Emmett is being
seriously retarded by the famine in
houses for rent. There is not a
vacant house in town and in a
number of cases two families are
living together. Several families
of newcomers are living temporari-

suitable dwellings here. This
condition should not exist and
efforts should be made to correct
it. Local capitalists who have
idle money will find comfortable
medium sized cottages good in
