 A short calendar matter twas first disposed of Friday. In the case Of Ralph w. Botham ys John D. Dorsey ct al, by agreement of counsel the court granted the motion for foreclo- sure by decree of sale on the property known as the old Fisher shoe shop. The sale will be by public auction Sat- urday, October 2s, at 2 p. m. There are mortgages of about s4000 on the property.
 Arguments were then heard to have a new trial granted in the case of Geo. F. Holbrook, trustee, vs Charles 5. Blackmar. This tease grew out of the Arnold bankruptcy proceedings, and the jury returned verdict for the trustee to recover the amount paid by Arnold to Blackmsr, S200 with inter- est. The motion for a new trial was granted.
 The Wise -Brayman case, involving a disputed boundary line in Hampton, consumed the rest of the morning and afternoon.

Handle Factory Coming to Putnam

' Another industry is shortly to be added to the manufacturing interests of the city. J. B. Tatem X Son have bought of c. s. Andem the large barn on George street, built by E. NJ. Ar hold, and will remove ,their factory machinery from West Thompson to their newly acquired property.
 This concern manufactures all kinds of wooden handles, picker sticks, golf club shafts, and other varieties of wood novelties The business of the factory has grown from year to year las they have expanded their market until now there are employed between 25 and 30 hands.
 The factory at West Thompson has been run by water power. Not being able to satisfactorily renew the lease of the water privilege it was decided to remove to Putnam, for as steam would have to be used for power, the plant can be operated as cheaply here as at the present location.
 While the factory has been al West Thompson, MT. Tatem, his son, and their families have always lived in Putnam, the men going back and forth to the mill each day. MT. Tatem is closely identified with the business interests of the city, where he owns considerable real estate.
 The loss of the factory will be a great one to the village of WestThomp- son, while the citizens of Putnam will be gratified at it's locating here.

The Firenen's Muster Thursday, Columbus Day, Oct. 12
Beautiful Decorations, Big Crowd, Great Interest

Tomorrow, Thursday, sees the cul- imitation of several years plans, on the part of the members of the Putnam Fire Department ito have a tiremens s muster such as the city has never be- fore seen. All sorts of entertainments and schemes have been developed to raise sufficient funds to do the thing in the proper manner, for nothing but the best satisfies the tiremen, and to- morrow will see their hopes realized.
 A great deal depends on the weather man. However, he is always good to the firemen and they are trusting him for one of his best days. If old Jupiter Pluvius does get the upper hand the program will be carried out with en- thusiasm just the same.
 Never before have business men and citizens entered into ansoecasion like this with such spirit. They have gone into their pockets to transform the city into a maze of beautifully colored decorations and the firemen must realize as they never have before that the people are with them. The event is the talk of the day and everyone is looking forward in joyous antieipa- tion. Putnam will see one of the largest gatherings il las ever seen and business will generally be suspended. Not only in Putnam but in neighbor- ing towns and cities will there be a whole or partial suspension of busi- ness and people will flock here from all points flor miles around. Thous- ands of strangers will be in town that day and hotels and restaurants are planning to care for the largest crowd ever seen in the city.
 There will be many bands of music and large procession with beautiful ly decorated apparatus. The various companies will vie with each other to look their best as prize will be award ed the best appearing company. There will be contests, "a dinner, dance and other entertainments lo make.the day

SEVERAL SCHOOL SITES

School land matters. particularly as
regards the site for the girls industrial
school, which is to be at Moiliili, and
various pieces of land which are to be
secured for the boys industrial school
at Waialee, were discussed at confer
ence of heads of departments interest
ed, summoned by the Governor, which
met in his Office yesterday morning.
Willis Il. Pope. superintendent OF
public instruction., was present, and
had with him plans of the proposed
new buildings and also surveys of the
lands. Others in attendance We're Land
Commissioner Judd, Surveyor Wall and
Attorney Lindsay.
Practically it WAS decided to go
ahead with the MOiliili proposition. The
bulk of the land needed there already
is owned by the Territory.
"When we get the matter cleaned
up there will be little over twenty
acres, said the Governor, ''but the
school may not take it all. The school
win be put on the most appropriate
part of it and the rest it can use until
needed for other purposes, or it may be
used by the school permanently, ac-
cording to the circumstances.
Superintendent Pope submitted two
propositions for purchasing a number
of pieces now scattered about on the
land set apart for the boys industrial
school at Waialee. The question wat
alsO discussed as TO the road at Waia
lee being constructed by the Oahu Loan
Fund Commission.
Another subject talked Of was the
