CITY DADS OF COLFAX
TAKE BULL BY HORNS
Declare Intent to Pave and Otherwise I'm
prove Mill and Main Streets---Three Dis
tricts Established for Bonding---Ask For
Bids for Various Improvements.

Considerable interest was centered in
the meeting of the city council Monday
evening. Mayor Weinberg presided and
all councilmen were "on deck" Stand
ing room in the council chamber was at
a premium, showing the interest taken
bv citizens in the proceedings. OF course
the paving of Main and Mill streets was
the magnet that drew forth the multi
tude.
Mayor Weinberg started the ball roll
. ing by naming John Miller for city en-.
gineer, at a salary of 1925 a month,
starting from April /. The nomination
was unanimously confirmed by the
council.
Remonstrance to the paving of Main
street, presented at the last meeting and
referred to this meeting was, on motion,
laid on the table by unanimous vote.
Cleaning Day in Coifax.
The mayor called attention to clean
ing day, asking that time be set for
all citizens of Colfax to get out the
"shovel aud the hoe" and make the city
loak as sweet as a blushing bride, and,
on motion, Friday and Saturday, April
Z and s, was named as the time to do
this work. Citizens are urged to at
tend to this. The city will furnish teams
to cart rubbish away.
Interesting Talk on Paving.
d. g. Monroe of the hassam Paving
Co., Spokane, was asked by the mayor
to address the council in regard to paw.
ing in general, more particularly rela
tive to the Hassam pavement, which
continued for some time and proved to
be interesting. A block of Hassam
paving material, weighing over 10O
pounds, taken from street in Portland
after seeing service for two years, was
brought in and laid on the aldermaniC
table. 1t was eight inches in thickn ess
and as solid, apparently, as the "Rock
OF Ages" without any historic ''clefts'
'Nto mar its solidity. Mr.. Moore answered
all questions, the meeting being informal
citizens and officials alike taking deep
interest in the matter.

The New Codd Bridge.

Mr.. Sims, OF the county engineers
office, submitted the grade plans for the
new Codd bridge in the north end. This
bridge will be constructed by the county,
but it was essential that the council
first establish the grade OF that part OF
Main street where the proposed bridge
spans the South Pslouse river before
plans can mature. 1t was adopted to
raise the plans of Mr. Sims from 42 feet
datum plane to 43 feet datum plane,
thus making the new structure two feet
higher than the one swept away by high
water the 1st of March last year.
1t was moved and carried that the
matter of new grades and changes in old
grades throughout the city be placed in
the hands of the mayor and the street
committee with full power to act.

Bids Called For.

1t was decided to call for bids to re-
move dirt and gravel out OF river chan
mel opposite the court house.
1t was likewise voted TO ask for bids
TO extend the rock wall from the Inland
R. r. wall west across Main street, a
distance OF approximately $50 feet. For
this work bids will be received for rock,
concrete and grout, the council to decide
later which material will be used.

Ground for City Park

A. J. Davis addressed the council in
behalf of certain ladies in regard to
ground for a park to be purchased by
them and given to the city, provided the
city improve and care for the same in
future. The ladies referred to above
propose to buy the Congregational
church property, consisting of two lots,
100x170 feet, bounded on the north by
North street, on the east by Railroad
avenue and on the west by West street.
II possible the lot adjoining on the
south, belonging to the Myrick heirs,
will be purchased, thus making the plat
150x170 feet, in the heart of the city
and directly opposite the Inland R. R.
depot. With a cement sidewalk thrown
around it on three sides, plated to
grass, shade trees set out and Towering
plants cultivated it will make a beauty
spot and a place to rest and breathe
ozone that Colfax has never had, one
that will surely be appreciated and may
lead to greater things in the line of
parks.
On motion the proposition of the
ladies was accepted, the vote being
unanimous.

of his million troubles. And that
reminds me.
In the last issue of the News you
had the story of the special agent,
his trip to Kahoolawe and the report
OF the sampan stunts and bare
reference to the individuals whose
names were mentioned by the gos-
sips here as beina concerned in the
deals. Now Stackable and Our
Jack" have always been the best of
friends. What caused the rift in
the Lutte was Jacks presence at the
launching of big sampan and the
prominent part he took in the
ceremonies. 1t may be that the
collector is jealous of the little at
tentions the japanese of Honolulu
are paying the distinguished attorney
or it may be that Stack is over
zealo1s TO the extent that he has
insomnia and he has to get rid of
the things which he stores up dur
ing the night. He is sure doing
funny things now.
note unofficial advices have been
received which tell of the exonera-
ton of the officers of the Kukui in
the matter of wrecking the Moi Wa
hine in midchannel and drowning
the crew. That decision seems TO
me to be justice with lower case j.
How any investigating officers could
have reached the conclusion without
being urged to do so is beyond me.

What the Wrestlers. Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Doing.

So far as Maui is concerned, there
will he no polo this year. Things
were progressing favorably, and the
signs pointed to the most successful
season in the history of the game
on the islands. The death of II.
P, Baldwin, however, has put
quietus on the sport. The other
teams will probably play, but with
Maui out of it great part of the
interest will be gone. No matter
who should win, there will be that
feeling of uncertainty as to what
might have happened had the Maui
team been playing.
The local fans have had surfeit
OF sports and sporting events, dur
ing the past two weeks. Not the
least interesting of these was the
boxing exhibition given at the
Orpheum. The boy Ingle who
earned the decision over Ben De
Mello, showed class, and if he can
get on with some of the Honolulu
boys near his own weight, he will
open the eyes of the Honolulu fans.
De Mello outweighed Lngle by twen-
ty pounds, and hustled him about
the ring in lively fashion at times,
but after each rush Ingle would
come up smiling and lash out with
either hand. That he is a two
handed fighter De Mello can vouch
for. AS soon as De Mello got out
OF the way of a right swing, he
would run into a left uppercut, and
things were coming his way, pretty
regularly the entire ten rounds.
Besides being fast, Ingle has
wonderful defense and this as much
as anything else proved the undoing
of De Mello.
All Yau the great little Chinese
ball player went over to Honolulu
this week to help his countrymen
in their game against the Keio team.
Johnny Williams who went to
Sacramento, and was farmed to
Victoria, is having bad luck in all
his starts. He has not yet pitched
winning ball. Johnny has it in
him, and we hope to see things
breaking better for him before long.

Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By oscar Brenton.l

complained that mans conscience
took up more room than anything
he had. Mebbe it was twice as
much and in thinking over the re-
mark | am. constrained to ask my
friend Stackable where he stores his
when it gets cuttin up. Why, in
any other man that conscience would
simply burst its bonds. You have
been told of the cotorie of special
treasury agents now visiting the
islands studying imports and geo.
graphy. The other day one of them,
who has taken no particular pains
to conceal his identity, stepped up
to an inspector when on duty, in
troduced himself and asked for an
opinion as to the management OF
the department in Honolulu. Hav-
ing made it known that he was
special he, practically, closed the
doors of information as far as the
inspector was directly concerned
and he was 50 informed. Also the
inspector asked him why he did not
go to someone out of the service and
when asked for the address the
inspector gave that of Raven and
Jacobsen who were forced out of the
service about the time some fellow
found a crap game going on in the
warehouse.
Well, the special called at the ad-
dress and found that so far as the
two individuals were concerned he
had set before them regular feast
to which luau faded off the dia-
gram. The special heard more than
he had bargained for. The incident
was forgotten, by the inspector who
had pointed the way, until he was
called for to see Mr.. Stackable.
When he poked his nose inside the
door figuratively speaking he hit
the ceiling for at the side of the
collector was the special agent The
first remark made by the collector
convinced the inspector that the
special had not only taken him at his
word but came back and told Stack
able where he had been and who
sent him. 1t is said that Mr.. Stack
able was rude in his remarks. He
raised cane, fifty tons to the acre
and made the culprit drink remorse
| instead of drinking something else
and having the remorse follow along.
After the smoke had cleared away
Stackable said to the inspector:
y cannot fire you and | cannot
ask for your resignation but
You can accept my resignation
if / hand it to you," remarked the
inspector, is that what you wish to
intimate?"
Only a look came back as an
answer.
Well that's what you'll do for
am through with the service and
with YOU.
| When the inspector said this he
had one eye on the collector and
the other on the special agent who
secured a way to the end of Stack
able and-then ran off and told where
he got it.

that the conversation between tht
head of the department and the in
spector was carried on as quietly a

more plainly than any written or
spoken word, the place he has filled
in the hearts of the people. 1t was
the plain people who spoke; those
who had nothing, wished for moth
ing, and could give nothing, except
that devotion which came from the
hearts, of a sincere and loving
populace to one whom they all con-
sidered a friend.
Business associates and acquaint
ances both on Maui and from Ho-
nolulu were there in large numbers,
but it was the mute appeal on the
countenances of the plantation
laborers that told the story of great
ness in the life just ended.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by the Rev. E. B. Turner, as
sisted by Revs. Dodge, Judd, White,

Turner spoke feelingly of his con-
nection with Mr.. Baldwin, as his
pastor, and we give below portion
of his address:
IF we were here today to enlogize
the ten talent life of the beloved
father, husband and friend, who
has Just answered the last great
summons of his captain, whose he
was, and whom he served SO faith
fully, volumes could well be written.
But this is an occasion when our
thoughts lie too deep for utterance.
There isn't so much to say as there
is to think.
1t isn't my purpose to make any
historical sketch of the life Of Mr..
Baldwin. Suffice it to say that the
history of these Islands, and es-
pecially of Maui, can never be
written, without the name and in
fuence of our departed brother,
stamped upon every page.

ing anything today, because there

Mr.. Baldwin longer and more init

grown up with him from boyhood

almost the full span of the three
score years and ten. Still, as hav-
ing been blessed with the rare honor
of having been his pastor for four
years, it may be fitting for me to

Hama Has
Celebration
Genuine Old Fashioned ay Of
Rejoicing.

Hama celebrated It's Fourth In mt
ting style. The people from the
outside districts came in early to
attend the celebration. A process
sion of school children with Amer
lean Flags headed by the leading
citizens of the district and the Kau-
Xxi Brass Band marched from the
Kaeleku Sugar Co. $ mill to the
Hama Landing. After forming into
a circle Rev. L. K. Kakani said a
prayer and Mr.. w. A. Anderson
delivered an Grafton and also read
the Declaration of Independence.
He touched upon the history of our
country and wound up by saying
that this year was the first time in
history that an English warship
had saluted the American Flag in
Honolulu harbor, and it was to be
hoped that in the near future these
two leading nations of the world
would be bound tighter by the ties
of friendship and love.
After the Grafton the school chill
dren of the public schools lead by
Mrs. j. M. Medeiros sang America.
At 10 O'Clock sharp the sports be-
gan.

yards, won by John Noa.
After the Aquatic Sports came
the races on the beach. Here all
kinds of games and race for chill
dren took place. The prize were
toys donated by Mr.. James Donald
OF the Hama Store. At IL: 80 p. M.
a generous friend came to the rescue
of the tired crowd with a CREASED
pig in bag. The beauty of it all
was that nobody seemed to know
how the pig was creased and every
body was willing to try his luck al
making the catch. 1t so happened
that when the pig was let out of the
bag every body in the crowd made
rush for the poor brute and to the
, sorrow of a great many of the spec
tators who had come dressed il

Russia is very aggressive in Mon

the southern shore of the Black sea
in selling or attempting to hold all
available territory-not that they have
any need of more territory since they
already possess Siberia, vast ex
panse larger than the United States
practically unoccupied. The impell
ing motive in this land aggression is
the bureaucratic, military aristocracy
whose sons desire offices, civil ant
military. For those sons offices must
be found, must be created out of con
quests and the demand grows witt
