Local Lumberman Who viii Move to
Manila Is Given Past
Masters Jewel

! Probably one of the most notable
gatherings ever held in Masonic cir,
cles on Grays Harbor was that of last
Monday night when Aberdeen Lodge
No. So, F and A. NJ, met in their
hall and presented w. r. Macfarlane
with past masters jewel Of solid
gold, set with Montana sapphires and
in turn he presented the lodge with
10 volumes of the Grand Lodge Pro-
ceedings of the State Of Washing
ton" which he had collected and
bound in full Morocco. Inasmuch as
at least four of the volumes are out
of print their value is incalculable
from Masonic standpoint. In pres.
enting the books Mr.. Macfarlane
spoke feelingly of his association
with the Aberdeen lodge and express
ed the belief that the intrinsic value
of the books would be greater in the
archives of the lodge than if tax
en- with him to his far off island
home.
Mr.. Macfarlane was master of the
Blue Lodge in 1894 and again III 1908,
ris reelection being an unusual hon
or in Masonry. In appreciation OF
his Masonic services the Blue Lodge
appointed a committee consisting Of
Past Master r. NJ. Copeland, Past
Master L. J. Kolts, Worshipful Master
r. e. Spaulding, l. S. Shey and John
Wilson to plan fitting farewell and
last Monday nights meeting was the
result. che meeting was presided
over by R. E. Spaulding, Worshipful
Master, and short addresses were
made by Mr. Murphy, w. w. Boner,
w. r. Macfarlane, F. G. Jones, An
drew Reid, p. F.. Clark, w. W. Walk
and Rev. Charles McDermoth.
Immediately after the meeting in
the main lodge room the assembled
Masons which included members
from all over the Grays Harbor coun-
try. adjourned to the banquet room
where more than 100 partook of an
elegant spread. Senator Alex Poison
acted as toastmaster and introduced
Rev. F F.. w. Greene who in a splen-
did Masonic address Masonic address,

Mr.. Macfarlane responded and ex-
pressed feeling of deep gratitude to
his fellow Masons for their kindly
and substantial remembrance in ad-
ditiOn to the farewell.

A MANAGER NEEDED
A MAYOR SHOULD POSSESS Ex.
ECUTIVE ABILITY.
AND BACKBONE SUFFICIENT TO
ENFORCE THE LAWS iMPARTi-
ALLY, MANAGE THE DEPART
MENTS AS A BUSINESSMAN,
NOT POLITlCiAN-sOME GOOD
MUNICIPAL SUGGESTIONS FROM
SEATTLE

In a recent letter to the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, Christopher Horr
gives some suggestions that might
be studied with profit in Aberdeen, or
any other city. Speaking of may
or, he says:
Eve should have man who has
had an opportunity of studying mum
icipal affairs, who is capable, has the
ability and backbone to properly fill
the office of mayor.
"a mayor should give his whole
undivided attention to city affairs.
Instead of so much time being de-
voted by him to the police affairs,
which seems to have been in the
past, considered to be the principal
duties of mayor, he should simply
say to the chief of oplice, "You are
paid to enforce the laws on the sta
tute books, and if you do not do so
! will select chief of police who
will see that the laws are obeyed."
A mayor should investigate how each
department of the city is run and
from time to time suggest to the
council and to the heads of those de-
partments how to run their depart
ments more economically and more
efficiently. The councilmen, who are
all engaged in other business, are
not able to give sufficient time or at
tention to the affairs of this city. Our
city affairs have been and still are
being run without any regard what
ever to the interests of the taxpay-
ers or for the welfare of the city
at large.
"ln order to induce manufactures
and factories to locate here we must
keep down our taxes. This city has
been and still is being run in an ex-
travagant and reckless manner, and
entirely different from the way busi-
ness affairs are managed. In order
to get the best results we must have
an economical and efficient business
administration.
I'VE must look the matter square
ly in the face and not try to deceive
ourselves any longer. We must not
allow the present residents of this
city to be injured for the benefit of
the future. We must attract resi-
dents to this city instead of forcing
them away by taxation and excessive
assessments.
"If the city is going to be the mag
nitude that we hope for, any plans
which are made now for civic cen

the future needs. Who cannot say
with any reason of correctness where
the civic center of this city should
be ten years from this date? Would
it not be a part of wisdom to allow
some of these great matters to be
settled in the future by men who
have had more experience. and who
no doubt will possess more ability
than any of us who are now here,
Why cripple the growth and future
of this city by any Informed plans
which would be a hardship on the
people of this city, and in time would
have to be rearranged or thrown
away.
Let the affairs of the city be run
on good, common sense business
plan.
I'VE must make adequate provision
for our schools and other necessary
improvements and it is absolutely
necessary that we have an honest,
economical and efficient administra-
tion of our city, county and state af-
fairs"

Regular weekly luncheon by the
Chamber of Commerce at the Hotel
Washington last Tuesday was attend
ed by more than 40 members and
business men and much interesting
discussion enSued. The principal
item of deliberation was the qies-
ton of fitting UP an exhibit car for
Chehalis county and sending it on a
tour through the middle western and
eastern states with the idea of inter
esting prospective settlers and capi-
talists in this section
The plan is being championed by
Rev. l.. H. Mitchell, of Montesano,
who is of the opinion that the ex-
pense of fitting up such a car and of
paying the expenses of a lecturer to
accompanying it, could be met by an
assessment on the individual mem
| bership of the commercial organiza-
tions of the county and that it would
prove of inestimable benefit to the
county.
While admitting the feasibility OF
| the plan, Secretary j. E. Barnes, Of
| the Southwestern Washington Devel-
opment league, stated that he didn't
believe that Rev. Mitchell's PROPOSE
tion had been understood by the rail-
road company. He based his belief
upon the recent attempt of the De
velOpment league to secure an exhibit
car for Southwestern Washington, and
which was refused under the plea,
that, if the company permitted car
from any certain section of the state,
the other sections would also insist
that they be represented in other
and this would require four or more
cars from one state, which was
against the policy of the company.
| Rev. Mitchell, however, declared
that he had been informed by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
railway officials that, . if Chehalis
county would pay for the fitting up
of such a car and also the expenses
and fare of man to accompany it,
that the car would be hauled gratu-
tiously over the lines of the road in:
the middle west.
Rev. Mitchell said that Chehalis coun-
sent out from this state by the trans
continental lines, but this position
was combatted by Mr.. Barnes.
"Mr. Mitchell is misinformed when
he says Chehalis county is not rep
resented on exhibit cars sent out by
the railroads. declared Secretary
Barnes. "All the county tags" he
continued. "are removed and persons
viewing the exhibit will only know
it came from Southwestern Washing
ton. The exhibit in the Tacoma Cham
ber Of Commerce is duplication Of
exhibits on the cars. The assOcia-
ton tried to get special car but
found this could not be accomplished
for the reason other sections of the
state would expect the same privileges
from the railroads. Furthermore, We
would have been compelled to pay
railroad fares for our employees and
this was more than the association
could afford"
| Committee Appointed
President Humbarger appointed q
committee consisting of J. J. Carney,
J. A. Hood and Dan Bowes to confer
with Rev. Mitchell regarding his pub
licity scheme.
| H. p Savage of Tacoma, state agent
for the Rand stump burner, attended
the luncheon and explained the work
ing of the machine. He desired to
interest owners of logged-off lands
and make practical demonstration
near Aberdeen.

The Royal Hawaiian is shaped out
with a view to comfort in a warm
climate. Thus the main building and
cottages are fitted with wide verandas
and allowed ample air space. More
over the premises are so situated as
to receive the cool breezes from the
mountains, which prevail most of the
year. The Royal Hawaiian was noted
in the old days for the elegance of its
furnishings and it is not far behind
the times now.
Most of the rooms in the main ho-
tel and cottages are fitted with private
baths and telephones, while all have
electric lights and other conveniences.
The Royal Hawaiian was establish
ed under government patronage years
ago, beginning business in 1875 under
the superintendency of Allan Herbert.
Later it passed into the hands of the
Macfarlanes and was controlled by
them until a majority of the stock
was purchased by the late Alexander
Young and his associates a few years
ago. 1t was then that the dining room
was closed and it became a rooming
establishment only.
The Royal Hawaiian is now in i'm

HONOLULU
FLORAL PARADE
ON FEBRUARY 2

Honolulu's Floral Parade started as
a plaything for the little group of
automobile owners of seven or eight
years ago. And it is still play day for
cur people-the biggest and most inn
portant festival of the year-but it
now it has it's serious side which ii
lacked when the idea originated
Some persons deprecate what they
term the commercial spirit which has
come into evidence in the celebration,
more and more each year. Holiday
sport for the fun of the thing alone
is the sentiment which they voice
But these persons fail to remember
that our parade is a thing that we
can't keep to ourselves. More and
more are visitors from the mainland
coming here to see it. Again they
forget that with the exception of
very few, the expense of decorating
car, year after year, to say nothing
of the work, would be prohibitive.
A great corporation, or a business
firm can scarcely be expected to spend
it's money just for the fun of the thing,
but our men of business cheerfully
come very near doing just this. How
ever it is very reasonable for them to
expect some remuneration in improv-
ed business due to the parade.
AS time goes on this condition is
likely to be more and more evident,
but so long as a high artistic standard
, is insisted upon it cannot be consider
ed a serious detriment. No one for
moment imagines the New Orleans,
with her Mardi Gras, Pasadena, with
her Rose Tournament, Portland, with
her Rose Festival, or any of the other
cities which year after year spend
hundreds of thousands of ,hollaFs
in great spectacular pageants, do so
just for fun. And it hasn't hurt the
popularity of their show either.
Honolulu's Sixth Annual Floral
Parade and Carnival February 22)
will be, as present indications may be
credited, by far the most pretentious
affair of the kind ever held in Hawaii.
There is more interest being mani
l6SISui from MUCH WlueT range VI
interests than before. The pressure
of outside criticism and opinion is
also beginning to be manifest. Anr the
thing has progressed too far now TO
have left a choice in the matter. Ho-
nolulu could not cut out her floral
parade next February if she would. 1t
is one of those things which now have
to be done just as we have to have
moving picture shows We used to
get along quite we'll without
them, but it would be impossible to
eliminate them now.
So Wen go on having a floral parade
each Washington's Birthday, and wen
continue to strive to make it better
each year than the preceding one,
and Wen get just as much fun, and
work out of 1t as ever, and it will
become more and more a feature Of
the city, until at last throughout the
world Honolulu and her Floral
Parade will be as inseparable in the
public mind as now are the Crescent
, City and the Mardi Gras.

THE TROPICAL PLEAsANToN.

For the tourist, or the business man
who may prefer hotel life, the Pleas
anton is a most attractive place, fer
it is superbly appointed, is up-to-date
in every way, and is conveniently sit
uated. The hotel stands in about four
acres of well-kept grounds, in which
all sorts of amusements are recrea-
tion may be found.
Located on the corner of Wilder
Avenue and Punahou street, in fash
ionable quarter of Honolulu, the hotel
is reached by quick service of street
cars that pass through clean paved
streets containing for the major por-
ton of the journey, palatial homes
with beautiful terraces, or wide lawns
fringed with tropical trees and hedges
or shrubs. The splendid roads ap-
peal to those who prefer to make the
Journey from town by automobile or
carriage
Access to the hotel is gained by a
semi-circular drive amid towering
trees that skirt a spacious lawn. The
exterior of the hotel presents a pleas
ing sight, for on the wide verandahs
are scattered easy chairs and tables
where guests can obtain the fullest
benefit from the breezes that blow
from the ocean or mountains, and even
in the rainy weather these outdoor
comforts can be enjoyed, for owing to
the great width of the verandahs
chairs may be drawn in beyond the
wet zone.
Off the main lobby are the writing
room, the reading room and the re-
ception room. Suspended from the
ceiling of the spacious lobby is a chan
delier of a handsome design, from
which are hung numerous electric
bulbs of frosted glass, thus casting
a subdued light. The keynote here
as in every other part of the hotel, is
comfort, and there is highly com
mendable absence of ostentation. The
woodwork is all finished in California
curly and buried red wood, with oak
flooring. The carpets are rich, and
colors to match the woodwork have
been selected. Everywhere, every
thing is done to make for the comfort
of the guests, and that the manage
ment has not failed in this is shown
by the ample patronage that is bes
towed on the hotel all the year round
On the ground floor are the dining
rooms, kitchen and pantries. During
the off season, the large dining room
is usually found sufficient to accom-
modate all the guests, but in the tour
list season, which by the way is rapid
ly approaching, two dining rooms are
necessary. These rooms are situated
in an excellent position, for they are
well lighted during the day by means
of numerous windows, and at night il
