ST. PATRICK HON0RED.
Observance Of Day Marked by Feast
ing and Speecnmaking.

Although in many ways the celeDra-
ton OF st. Patrick's day in Detroit was
different from previous years, there
seemed 10 be even a greater enthusi-
asm than usual. Instead or the usual
banquet, the A. o. H., and the ladies'
auxiliary, gave an entertainment OF
speeches and music in the Light Guard
armory that packed the auditorium In
every inch Of space.
The Cathedral hall on Parsons-st
was crowded TO its utmost capacity for
the banquet and musical and literary
entertainment. Holy Rosary hall held
another record crowd for banquet
and literary feast, enlivened by the
best Irish music the city could pro
duce, and ST. Vincent's hall was not a
whit behind in the numbers II con
tanned and the attractiveness OF Its
program. st. Leo's hall We'd with the

The north-end residents celebrated
with a banquet and program Of Irish
music and addresses in the Church o!

KOENIG IS CONFIDENT.
Thinks Property Will Be Removed
From Saloon. Restricted District.

From Saloon Restricted District.
Aid. William Koenig. of the Third
ward, Is not disposed to quit In his
endeavor to have his property at
Harper-ave. and Beaubien-st.. remov-
ed from the saloon-restricted district.
His amendment to the Watson ordl-
nance to bring that about was sent
TO the liquor regulation committee
and Koenig is confident that he will
get a favorable report.
Il intend to put up hotel three or
four stories high. with cafe In con-
Dection," says Koenig. 1T Is not my
purpose to merely open a saloon.
THAT property along Piquette-ave..
was formerly occupied by residences
and | had their grocery trade. Now
the factories have taken up almost all
the property around me and that has
hurt my business. | want to use my
property and a hotel in that district
is needed"
In spite Of Koenig's confidence, 1t
is likely that he will have consider
able opposition before he gets the re-
striction removed from his property.

with Astrup. Peary's word is all the
proof required.
IF Peary says he was at the pole
he WAS there" declares Astrup with
great positiveness. Il lived with him

after much persuasion that he Will
consent TO go into the details OF those
Is months spent with Peary.
1t was on Peary's third expedition TO
the arctic regions, nearly 10 years
ago, that Astrup came to know the
commander. He was member of
party OF IA men that set out from
Norway In q staunch little craft built
at Laurvig, Astrup's home town, espe-
cially for the expedition. He was the
second engineer, and he joined the
party against the wishes of his family,
who had planned a great career for
him. That explains his reluctance 10
talk about the trip now. for he has
never returned to Norway and does
he is.
Il can't tell you just how far we
got on that expedition" he says. Il
didn't pay any attention to latitude
and longitude. but | know we got
somewhere above Bafiin's Bay. We
made two sledge trips out from the
boat when she got stuck In the Ice
and I'll never forget the hardships and
privations We endured. Peary was
game, though. and stuck % 1t as long
as he could and be sure of getting back
before our store of provisions ran out.
The trouble with that expedition was
that we started too late. and l think
Peary realized that before We were
out very long
Naturally l saw q great deal or
Peary during the trip and got to know
him very well. One thing about him
noticed in particular was that he
used great care In making his observa-
tons. He wanted to be sure he was
right before putting anything down In
his record. From what | saw OF Peary
on that trip | know that he would
not say he had reached the north pole
unless he had really done so.
"Only one OF the party failed to re-
turn. He was a man named Petersen,
who became Ill and died. All the rest
OF us enjoyed pretty good health ex-
cept for colds once in a while, but the
colds you get up there are not nearly
as troublesome as are colds In this
climate On the sledge trips We used
sleeping bags 10 bunk in. They were
very comfortable when we first
crawled into them. but along toward
morning, the perspiration from the
body made one feel clammy, and there
was no sleeping after that.
THE name of our ship was the
America when we started out. But
Peary had some trouble with the
Lloyds about the name and had to
change 1t. can't just recall now what
it was changed to-"
Astrup's family Is one Of prominence
in Norway. His father amassed for
tune in the paper fibre industry.
Harold's share In the estate was about
SIS, 900. which he has never claimed
because of his old grudge. Ee came
to America after the Peary expedition
and has preferred to live here In OBJ
scurity, making his own way. Had he
remained in Norway and followed out
his familys wishes he probably would
have been at the head OF big paper
mill now. That was the course mapped
out for him, but his determination to
60 with Peary upset all these plans.
II may go back to Norway some
time, don't know" says Astrup,
whose full name, by the way, is Eivind
Harold Astrup. Il suppose could
claim my share in my fathers estate
now IL cared to do SO. But | am
pretty well satisfied with things as
they are, and would rather that the
folks In Norway remain in ignorance
as to my whereabouts"

PARK BUDGET CUT DEEPLY.
Council Reduces Amount to $4,000
Less Than Last Years Figure.


BY enthusiastic chopping, the coun-
Gil committee on parks succeeded In
cutting the estimates of the depart
ment Of parks and boulevards to SAT-
OSl. This Is $4,000 less than was al
lowed last year, and the prospect that
the estimators will still further re-
duce the total makes 1t certain that
the park maintenance cost will be
lower for 19l0-1911 than for some
years past. The principal cut made
was that of $34.713 for a new Belle
Isle sewer. Other cuts were made all
along the line in maintenance OF roads.
new docks, additional patrolmen and
similar items until the reduction az
gregated $149.132.
Among the items cut were a new
Owen Park dock at $4,000 and band
stand in Clark park. There may be
fight in the council over this latter
as the Fourteenth warders are very
anxious to get it,
The committee gave favorable con
sideration TO the purchase OF automo
biles for the Belle Isle service: these
with a garage costing 100000 The
item for purchase of the Ferry proper
ty out Grand River-ave., for new
park, was cut ont, without q bit OF
support for the park plan.
The aldermen decided to allow 3d.
900 for a laundry in the Erskine-st.
bathhouse and $500 for new suits
there. but cut out the $4,000 asked
for an addition to the building. The
old bath house at Belle Isle will be
converted into a shelter for women
and children, with wading pool. The
wages of laborers were reduced from
81 to $1.75 per day. this being the
former rate.
The ways and means committee OF
the council put over consideration OF
all salary increases until next week.
IT is considered likely that the COM
mittee will refuse most OF the re-
quests for increases.

Very truly yours,
E. V. WILCOX,
Special Agent in Charge


The model farm experiments
throughout the Western states have
proved to be the most successful fea-
ture of the work being conducted by
the Federal Department OF Agriculture
and are said, through their teaching Of
improved methods of farming, protec-
ton of growing products from pests Of
various kinds showing the practical re.
suits of special fertilization, etc, to
have increased the yields in some sec
ton by several hundred per cent.
Dairy farming and the use of the
by-products in this line is another
matter which has been taken up to
great advantage in the states and
which may be brought out here by
the Federal men. While the expert.
ment station in Honolulu has work
ed to a great degree upon sugar
cape, as being the greatest industry
in this territory, it's efforts have been
by no means held down to this pro.
duct. The pineapple industry has re.
ceived a great deal of attention and
coffee has also been helped in a great
degree, while the new cotton industry
which seems bound to become Of great
value here, has been given it's oppor
tunity mainly through the efforts OF
Dr. Wilcox since his coming here
from the mainland. The work
of starting the raising of tobacco
which was done mainly through ]. G.
Smith, proved so successful that he
left his position, which was then tax
en- by DR.. Wilcox, to devote his entire
energies and capital to that work.

ton Of Federal quarantine officer at
Hilo. Dr. Sinclair, Il was stated, is
about to take a trip to the Eastern
States for the purpose of inquiring
into the latest method OF treating
tuberculosis and other diseases. Dr..
Sinclair has made extensive study Of

emily fitted for the position.
Fred d. Nugent was transferred to

ed
A number of men who were at one
time assistants at the settlement pre-
sented a petition in which they asked
for permission to return to the posi-
tons of labOrers. The prayer was not
granted, as Superintendent McVeigh
stated that he had no work for them.
The report of the Honolulu Free

that there had been a decrease in the
number of patients treated as compar
ed with the quarter ended July last
In July the number of patients treated
was $50, in August Az and in Septem-
