him with crises of moment. But he
had never contemplated anything
which imposed 80 hard a task upon
his judgment and his feelings as the
approaching interview. What means
young Haldane would take to induce
his sister to come with him. how
much Of what had transpired he would
tell her, Gormly had no means Of
knowing Of course; but he felt con-
f1dent that by hook or crook the young
woman would be produced, and that q
few minutes would find him face to
face with her.
He did not In the least know how
to begin or what to say, and the more

became the situation. 1t was well
that the time for reflection was short.
It Ia better for q man who has to do
great things to do them before the

to instil doubts into the mind. And

PLANS FOR THE
CLEGHORN' PARK

Governor Frear this morning show
ed the plans for the proposed laying
out of the late Ex-Governor Cleghorn's
residence and grounds as a park, in
the terms of his will. The terms, of
course, will be strictly adhered to, and
it is hoped that a beautiful tropical
park will be added to the city's list Of
these pleasure grounds.
1t has not yet been decided what to
do with the buildings already there.
Governor Frear said that the sugges-
tion has been made that the buildings
be retained, and be used by the Board
of Agriculture and Forestry. If this
idea is carried out. the Governor con-
siders that it will be an excellent one,
for the board could use portion of
the premises for exhibits. Mr.. Rock,
one of the members of the board has
made some extensive collections, and
these could be housed properly.

IS WILSON
STILL THE ROAD
SUPERVISOR F?

Johnny Wilson is still road super
visor of Honolulu, Notwithstanding
the vote of the board of supervisors
last night that his appointment be
not confirmed, according to one view
of the matter, while according to
another the office is now vacant. The
difference of opinion may finally land
in the courts, for it is said that the
auditor will be likely to refuse to
audit Wilson's salary warrant, on the
ground that his appointment is ques-
tionable.
Wilson was confirmed by the last
Loard, and, say those who claim that
the Office is now vacant, his term
expired at the end of the year. The
office must have been vacant, they
argue, else why did the mayor send
in a reappointment? If the Office was
vacant, reappointment which was
not confirmed would not fill it, as the
argument runs. Hence it is claimed
that the job is now vacant and that
it is up to the mayor to send in ano-
lSl
The supervisors, however, are said
to be prepared to go ahead without
any test of the question. On the
theory that the old officers hold on
Until their successors are duly elect
ed or chosen, and qualified, the old
road supervisors Of Eva, Waianae,
Waialua--and Koolaupoko, whom the
mayor attempted to replace, are re-
Garded as still in Office, and to stay
} there luntSl the appointment Of h
successor is confirmed, which in the
case Of most of them, is likely to be
never. Unless compromise is ar
ranged, therefore, the present road
men will keep on in office. But as
far as Wilson is concerned, the board
proposes to turn over his work to the
city and county engineer and Wilson's
salary, in that event, will be cut out,
which is another way of removing
him.

MYSTERIOUS MESSAGES MAY MEAN
STEAMERS JOCKEYING FOR POSITION
TO GET TO FRISCO FIRST

The receipt of wireless messages
giving the distance travelled by both
the Sierra and the Wllhelmina during
the twenty-four hours ended at eight
o'clock last night as under 26O miles
caused no little surprise and comment
this morning. 1t is thought by the
shipping managers of both Brewer and
Company and Castle and Cooke that
there must be an error somewhere, as
the days run in each case is consider
ably less than the previous days run,
118 miles less in the case of the Viii
helmina and So miles less than that of
the Sierra. Yesterdays message re-
ported a gale raging, but it is hardly
thought that 1t was severe enough to
make this difference, though this

If the distance happen to be correct

the Wilhelmina is now within five
miles of the Sierra, the total distance
run by the Sierra being 745 and that
of the Wilhelmina TAI. BY eight
o'clock on the evening of the first day
the Sierra was twentynine miles
ahead of the Wilhelmina, but on the
second day the Wilhelmina made a
run of 369 miles, which strangely
enough, is just twenty-nine miles more
than the Sierra did and this put both
ships the same distance from port,
This is a remarkable coincidence, es-
pecially when it is considered that the
Sierra is travelling light and will thus
be able to ride over the rough seas,
while the Wilhelmina has a heavy
cargo of sugar below decks and will
have to plough through the seas

Honolulu, January I, 1911

Honolulu, January Z, 1911.
Dear Sirs:-Referring to the pres
ent agitation for a bigger and better
Honolulu, the formation of the One
Hundred Thousand Club, and the pro-
motion of Hawaii in general, has it
ever occurred to you that by a small
effort on your part you can material
ly assist in procuring good roads, sui
table public buildings, better condi~
tions of public health, and more per-
feet administration of matters of ge-
neral public concern?
Public improvements require pub
lie money; the chief source of public
income is the government tax; the
more taxes collected, the more cash
to spend for public improvements.
The Tax Bureau is doing it's best,
with the limited appropriation given
it by the legislature, to collect all the
taxes Many persons allow their

taxes to become delinquent through
carelessness or neglect, others will
fully avoid them.
Will you not interest yourself in
this matter and assist the government
in the collection of its just dues by
insisting that your employees pay their
taxes promptly? 1t is a business pro-
position in which you are directly in
terested; every dollar of evaded tax
means a dollar less for the public ad-
vancement of Hawaii. Compel your
employees to contribute their share to-
wards the maintenance of the govern
ment whose protection they enjoy,
and you become a booster to just that
extent. Try it this year and see how
it works,
Respectfully,

ON MESSAGE
TO LEGISLATURE

Governor Frear this morning said
that he was busy preparing for the
next sitting of the Legislature, so busy
in fact that he wished that he had six
months instead of only one, in which
to get ready. He said that there were
a>lot of things to bring before the Le-
gislature, and a number of the acts
will want patching up. There were
many things to be done Some of the
acts were not quite right, and ought
to be repealed altogether, or so amend
ed as to make Them proper. A lot of
this work will be done. There were
too many loose strings lying around
just now.
Some of the new suggestions to the
Legislature will be that of introducing
a new scheme for the building and
maintaining of roads. This scheme
would be for the betterment of the
roads, and would make for cheaper
and improved maintenance. There
were many other things to be taken

anticipated that the reasons for these
condolences will be made apparent.

these go to show the excellent pro-
