LOW WENT ALONE, THE REST
WENT YESTERDAY, AND THE BELT
ROAD PLANS ARE FORMING


With a view to investigating the
Oahu belt road proposition, Mayor
Fern and most of the supervisors, in
GLIDING the members of the road COM
mittee excepting Eben Low-who
travels alone-yesterday went round
the island in autos, leaving Honolulu
shortly after six in the morning and
getting back at six in the evening.
They found greatly improved roads
for most of the distance, and in the
places where formerly the road was
worst. But there are several stretches
which call for lot of money. Calls
were made on various district road
supervisors on the way round, and
the lunch hour was spent at Andrew
Cox,s place, where a fine repast, luau
etIe, was enjoyed.
Link" McCandless was first honor
cd by call, in the early morning,
quick time having been made over
the Pail. From Kahana on, quick time
was also made, considering the stops.
Will the Loan Be Made
1t is the plan of the board to start
work as soon as possible on the belt
road work under the loan appropria-
ton. IF the Territory goes ahead
with the loan arrangements" said
Supervisor Murray, who was guide
and one of the chauffeurs of the par
ty, the mayor being the other, I'VE
think, that arrangements can be made
whereby the money can be secured
cere, without the long delays incident
to floating loan, as soon as it is
definitely decided by the Territory, to
issro ~ No~ds. If we raise $4,000
IN t is way by next July, big start
cau be made then"
Mayor Fern expressed doubt that
the Territory would make the loan,
but the other members of the board
were confident that the money would
be secured. Under the terms of the
act, the Territory secures the money,
and calls for bids for the belt road

the aeroplane was all but wrecked,
yet the plucky bird-man insisted on
one more flight amid air currents the
like of which he had never before en-
countered. There were currents that
poured down from above and sent
man and machine downtown to-
wards the bottom of the canyon; and
others that lifted his machine as
though upon a giant wave. 1t was
luck and pluck that pulled this boy
of eighteen through, his fellow-avia-
tors holding their breath on more
than one occasion when the machine
was all but capsized or was dashed
down towards the earth by some sud
den air current. 1t is the amusement
of those who visit the Pail or great
precipice behind Honolulu to throw
stones down over the brink for the
powerful air currents to send sailing
skyward. Such were some of the cur,
rents that Bud" Mars had to stem!
Mars machine is only thirty feet
from tip to tip-the smallest machine
that has yet made extensive flights.
ct may be mentioned that Ham
mond's Bristol biplane measures
thirty-nine feet six inches by thirty
three feet six inches.) One of the
features of Mars Hawaiian fight was
the attention given by the cattle On
the hillsides. At first the clatter Of
the propeller and the approach Of
the aeroplane sent them scampering
off, but by the third day the cattle did
not even look up from their grazing
Horses, however, turned to watch the
strange air machine, and seemed to
enjoy the exhibition.
Bud" Mars has issued a challenge
to any other aviator he may meet on
the route he has announced to test
of skill in managing a biplane, He
has offered to stake G100 on the re-
suit. There should therefore be an
interesting competition in the near
future between Hammond and this
youthful aviator.
The fact of four aviators being in
Sydney at one time Is regarded by
Mr.. G. A. Taylor as very favorable to
the success of his proposed Sydney-to-
Melbourne flight He states that COM
mittees have already been formed at
Parramatta and Liverpool for the rails
ing of funds, and other committees
are being arranged. The presence OF
those professional aviators will make
flying the popular sport in Sydney be-
fore very long.

The report of the Land Commits
sioner, Marston Campbell for the six
months ending June 80, 1909, and for
the year ending June 80, 1910, is now
in the hands Of the Governor. The
advantages of the consolidation of the
departments of land, public works and
survey, are treated in the Commits
sioner's report in the following Ian
guage:
"The legislature, at its regular ses-
sion in 1899, for the purpose Of econ
omy and more efficient administration,
combined the offices of land commits
sioner, surveyor and superintendent
of public works. This consolidation
has been of decided advantage in the
administration of the land laws, as 1t
has, by placing the control of all mat
ters pertaining to the public lands
under one head, resulted in the clos
ing up of all unfinished business. For
merly, the departments of survey ana
land were entirely separate, the land
commissioner being in great measure
dependent upon the survey depart
ment for necessary surveys and de-
scriptions, which, owing to the rush
of work in that department, at times
hampered the land office in the expe-
ditious dispatch of it's business. The
coordination of the two departments
under the new system has not only
enabled the commissioner to carry on
the work of the land Office at less cost
than heretofore, but has in addition
resulted in the dispatch of a larger
amount of work with a smaller force.
During the last fiscal year more doc
uments, i. e., patents, leases, agree
ments, ETC., were issued from the Of
flee of the commissioner than during
any year previously. A comparison
of the statistics giving details OF the
work of the department for the years
1909 and 1910, as shown by the tabu-
lations accompanying this report,

ARMY AND NAVY

Camp Jones" at the Kahuiki reser
walton, where the camp of instruction
for the National Guards of Hawaii is
to be held this month, is being pre-
pared for the coming event. The
ground is being cleared and the CAM
will soon be layed off.
1t is hoped to make some improve
ments this year over the first encamp
ment which was held at this same site
last September. The roads leading
to the parade ground of Fort Shafter
from Camp Jones have been greatly
improved and other comforts will be
looked after, which were suggested
during the weeks instruction at Camp
Billiard of last year.

ming in just little over two years.
Departures of Officers.
Captain Chalmers G. Hall, Fifth
Cavalry, who has been stationed at
the Leilehu reservation since last
fall, serving with his regiment, has
been granted leave of absence for
two months.
Captain Hall boarded the U. S. A. T.
Logan on Thursday night to journey
to the coast. Captain Wallace b.
Scales, Fifth Cavalry, of Schofield
Barracks, came in to see Captain Hall
off for the homeland.
Another passenger that was taken
on" at this port by the troopship be-
fore sailing between the setting of the
sun on Thursday and the rising of
the same on Friday morning, was
Lieutenant Thomas A. Rothwell. Lieu
tenant Rothwell was a member of G
Troop, Fifth Cavalry, with station at
Leiluhua reservation, standing number
one in the list Of second lieutenants.
A promotion to a first lieutenantcy
came to Lieutenant Rothwell recently.
With the promotion comes a change
of regiment and station, and Iieuten-
ant Rothwell will join his new regi-
ment, the Ninth Cavalry, at Fort d.
A. Russell, Wyoming.
The departure of Captain Hall and
Lieutenant Rothwell this week is only
the beginning of many more to follow
from Schofeld Barracks. Captain Al
bert U. Faulkner, First Field Artillery,
is among the detail of GERS for the
school of the line that meets at Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas, early in Au,

contract. The city and county will
bid and has advantages which are
regarded as certain to make it the
lowest bidder. The money is to be
spent by a commission to be appoint
ed by the governor, on which it is
expected Chairman Dwight of the
boards read committee will be one.
Dwight was one of the party to make
the trip yesterday.
Belt Road Starts at King Street.
"The Belt Road starts at King and
Nuuanu," said Supervisor Kruger,
''and the $4,000 We are spending on
the upper Nuuanu road should come
cut of that fund. AS it is, we have
to spend our regular money in Nuu-
anu, because the job has to be done
at once, and therefore we have little
for downtown work.
Bridges Need Repairing.
A number of bridges were found to
be much in need Of repairs, and at
one of them, the visitors found red
dangey flags flying. Plans will be
proceeded with at once for the repair
of this and some of the other bridges.
Low Went Alone.
Eren Low, the all-round insurgent,
male his trip round the island during
the early part of the week, and will
also have a report to make about belt
road matters and bridges. "They say
] an 'butting in on road business"
Baid Low But I am a member of
the road committee and it is my bust
ness"
In the meantime, other members of
the Board are kicking because they
say that Low doesn't do anything as
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, but puts in all his time on
roads. There are a many ways and
means committee reports, of tie
greatest Importance, which are over
DUE" said one member of the board,
"but 10 one can get Low to pay any
attention to anything but roads,

Bus Schedule CHANGED,
The Fort Shafter army bus sched-
ule has recently been amended for
the convenience of those living at
the Kahauiki reservation, and friends
in Honolulu wishing to visit the res
idents of the line of this battaIian
post
Th bus meets the Rapid Transit
at the terminus of the line below the
hill, and in this way the last quarter
of a mile into the Government post
is made easy and pleasant, particu.
larly when it is raining or the sun
is very hot
Rapid Transit cars reach the Fort
Shafter end on the hours and even
minutes. The post bus meets the
street cars at seven-ttwenty and at
seven-thirty in the morning and again
at nine and ten o'clock before noon.
The afternoon schedule is twelve
twenty, two-thirty and six o'clock.
With six o'clock the last trip to the
cars are made, unless an extra call is
sent to the corral by some of the
line wishing to take the street cars
to the city
This army bus leaves the admins
tration building at Fort Shafter Just
five minutes before the time the
Rapid Transit is due. In driving
along the officers row passengers
may be picked up and taken to the
car or to their quarters in the
model post"
There is a comfortable waiting
houses at the Fort Shafter junction,
in Kalihi, where passengers are pro-
tected from the weather, which was
built by the Rapid Transit. This is
not only of convenience for the res.
ervation people, but many who live
in Moanalua Park and beyond.

visors should be asked to prevent the
repetition of such action. A motion
to adopt the resolution finally car
lied unanimously.
Pacheco brought another resolution
to the effect that the members of the
Labor Union should patronize the
stores run by citizens instead of those
owned by Asiatics. Makanui opposed
saying that America was a free cOun-
try, and every man might buy where
he pleased. Keaumoku endorsed Pa
checo's resolution, arguing that since
the laborers received their employ
ment from the citizen business men,
they should in their turn patronize
their employers.
Chairman Lewis Of the board OF
supervisors, when called on, told of a
case where he persuaded a Japanese
to employ a Hawaiian to lay a side
walk, only to see the Hawaiian turn
around, as soon as he had secured
the contract, and employ Japanese for
the work. Pacheco wanted his mo-
ton put to a vote, but Chairman EVA
like advised that matter of such
Importance should be given more con
s,deration, and it was finally decided
to postpone action until the next
meeting.
HiIo to Have a Parade.
HILO, May 2.-The subcommittee
of the Fourth of July committee which
was appointed to take charge of the
parade feature of the celebration, held
a meeting at the Hilo Hotel parlors
last Friday evening, at which the
various features of the parade were
discussed.
The tentative program which the
committee has outlined, is as follows;
Section No. /. Marshal of the day,
two mounted police officers, color
bearer, speakers of the day in decor
ated automiles, drum corps, militia,
business mems floats, children, coun-
ty officials in decorated autos.
Section No. 2. Color bearer band,
labor union, fire department, decorated
automobiles, cowboys, ridiculous.
Section No. 3. color bearer, Japa-
nese music, Japanese Sunday school
children, Japanese floats, ridiculous

about fifty feet down a slope that was
once a stairway.
Mountain Side Stairway.
This slope is the hardest portion Of
the trip. There are evidences that
steps were once cut out, but they
have worn away and are mere traces
now. 1t is proposed to ask the Trail
and Mountain club, whose members
have also been trying to find this
long lost trail, to cut the steps again.
When that is done, say those who
took the walk yesterday, the tramp
from Kaimuki to Palolo, over the ridge
81 long held to be impossible. will be
quite easy.
Other parties of the Trail and Noun
tain club have recently gone over to
the other side" of the island with
cut going over the Pail, but they all
used ropes at some places in
the journey. Yesterdays trip is, it is
stated, the first time the journey has
been accomplished without ropes since
the old trail was given up and lost.
The trampers left the end of the
carline at 1880, reached the top Of
the ridge at 1920 and four hours
later were at Maunawili, on the Wal
manalo side. From there they walk
cd to the Pail road and up the road,
down Nuuanu valley to Honolulu, get.
ting to town at six o'clock.
