Fine site Selected.

Mr.. Campbell states that fine site
has been selected to which to remove
the armory. 1t Is right across from
what RS Rhowsha as the old jail. lot. The
National Guard companies at Hilo
hitherto have been forced, to drill in
the street; when the armory is moved
they will be able to drill in the park.
The new site, moreover, is not very
far from the big Moohea1 park and
is not much further from the court
house, maybe block or SO, than the
present site.
The armory requires considerable
money spent Upon it in repairs and its
removal to the new site is purely
question, so far as the superintendent
of public works is concerned, of suf-
fcient funds.

Marsion Campbell, pleasantly but
firmly, stated the Official position In
regard to the Hllo armory upon HE re.
tara from Hawaii Saturday mornin
"Tho question Of removal is purely a
question Of funds; nothing else" he
said.
The superintendent Of public works
added that, at the public meeting held
in HilO, which be attended as chair
man of the harbor commission and in
company with the other members of
that board, there was no discussion, SO
far as he is aware, of the matter.
As to the propriety of moving the
armory to another site, he infatuated
that it was desirable for the advantage
of Hilo itself, if for no other reasons.
And there are other good reasons. Hilo's
business section is limited and there
is demand for Business property.
Several of the leading business houses
IN Hilo have asked the government to
move the armory and put the site up
for auction SO that they may have an
opportunity Of bidding for the valuable
land upon which it is contemplated to
erect modern, freproof stores and ware.
houses.

Zoo Valuable for Armory.

''lt is too valuable a property to be
occupied any longer by an armory,'' is
the way Mr.. Campbell put it. "The
sale of the lots has been approved by
the lana board. 1t will be required
that fireproof buildings be erected on
the lots. These win, Of necessity, be
stores and warehouses of about the
same nature as the Hackfeld building
at Hilo. No shacks or unsightly build
ings viii be allowed in that section of
the city. " 5i

road Company has been given permits,

street, and about which there has been
some criticism in HiIo, win go up to

stores and warehouses win be built,
which will increase their value as
places of business, and win serve to
bring producers and consumers in close
touch. a

Win Meet Early.
A meeting of the commissioners will
be held at AN early date to 90 over the
various matters with which the trip
was concerned and the conclusions and
findings of the board win be announced.
Speaking of the Hilo meeting Mars
ton Campbell said IL was a very pleas
ant gathering, extremely harmonious
and everybody had an opportunity to
express himself. Most of those who
spoke declared themselves entirely sat
isfied with the plans and conditions re.
garding the wharf.
The question MS to approaches to the
wharf was particularly discussed and
the commissioners asked for some assur.
ance that the county would construct
roads to the wharf that being within
its jurisdiction. The commission was
assured by many of the prominent eiti-
zens of Hilo that the county would do
its part in this regard.
Secretary Berndt expressed satisfac.
ton at the results achieved at Hilo and
Mahukona. The pililSia at the latter
place seems to have been settled after
three years discussion. The directors
of the Hawail Railroad Company show.
ed a disposition to meet the commits.
sioners reasonably and confirmed the
plans as decided upon.
Two wharves at Mahuhona.
Under the arrangement there will be
two wharves, a public one and a pri-
vate one The railroad will transfer
free of charge to the other wharf any
freight which it may be necessary TO
land on its side of the harbor. The ar
rangement as to an exchange of land
between the Territory and the com.
pany, outlined some time ago, will be
carried out.
Commissioner James Wakefield stated
that McGregor's Landing wharf offers
problem that needs considerable
study. The wharf needs extending. At
present 1t is unsafe on account of be-
ing too short and the breakers make
landing dangerous. Tt is expected the
commission will take up this matter al
most immediately.
The commission, as body. was
strongly Impressed, Secretary Berndt
said, with the very able way in which
the department Of public works had
handled the task Of looking after the
harhors and landings. The board feels
that too much praise cannot he given
Superintendent Marston Campbell. Tt
believes that, considering the means
available, it would have been difficult
to improve on the way things were
managed under his direction. While
there is much to be done there has been
no unnecessary neglect in the past, de-
elared Mr. Berndt

An account of the commissions meet

day, contains the following:
Chairman Lewis of the board of SUI
pervisors was then asked if the county
would build the road. The expenditure
of the $4,000 for the wharf would be
of no heneft TO the people unless road
were built.
Lewis answerc that he would lhe
to see the wharf built, but he did not
see how the county could build the road.
Possibly the belt road commission
might take up the matter.
You have one vote on it, and !
have another, suggested Campbell.
{" Remember that there are three
other votes on the commission, retort.

roads which will take their cattle to

GRAPE PUNCH.


A tasty punch is easily made with the
unfermented Juice of this formula;
Make a pint of strong lemonade sweet
ened with a boiled syrup of sugar and
water. Chill and when cold pour into 1t
a quart Of grape Juice. Have a block
of ice in the punch bowl, pour in the
punch, and throw in some small pieces
Of sliced orange, pineapple and thinly
shaved lemon.
Another delicacy for the dessert course
for the seaso of grapes Is grape jelly
pie. Fol this perfectly ripe purple
grapes are cooked until tender, then
rubbed through a sieve or colander so
as to remove the skins. The pulp is
then returned to the fire and thiekencd
with cornstarch to the consistency of
thick cream or jelly. The sweetening is
added to taste. The under crust is filled
with this mixture, the top being o"na-
mented with fancy strips OF the pastry,
if desired, or left plain.
