Of the provinces have enjoyed year OF
unprecedented prosperity. The result OF
the legislation granting practically free
trade between the islands and the United
States has surprised even its most op-
timistic friends and advocates. The sec
Qnd year Of the laws operation has
shown a decrease OF s. 100000 in exports
to the United States, but "a considerable
increase in the imports from this coun-

LOST: one PRINCE
FROM MOROLAND
En- Route to Nations Capital, His
Royal Highness Has
Vanished.

Glooms spread broadcast throughout
.he ranks of washington's unmarried
feminine society yesterday when the
word went the round that Prince Alb
daIa, of Moroland, who is en- route to
the National Capital from the Philip
pines in search of wife, has lost his
way and is reported among the missing.
II wasn't. that any OF the debutantes
really had considered becoming one OF
the wives Of the little brown bit of Moro
nobility, but all were anticipating the
unique experience Of being wooed by a
regal son of the bolo tossers.
Telephone messages flashed into the
War Department, but the officials
couldn't even hazard a guess as to what
misfortune has befallen the mite Of ORR
entail Lochinvarism so widely heralded
as speeding toward the Capital City.
Inquiry OF the Philippine resident COM
missionars also were without avail, and
the day ended with Prince Abdala in
fair prospect of being tumbled over the
brink OF lost opportunities
The prince is armed with a letter Of
Introduction to Gen. Leonard Wood from
Gov Pershing. OF the Moro district in
the Philippines. Proudly bearing that
letter. the prince departed from San
Francisco many days ago, and nothing
has since been heard from him. There
are some who believe he has been cap
tured by an enterprising theatrical
manager.

INDIANS HANDLE
NAVY'S BIG GUNS
Make Best Records in TARGET
Practise by Reserves of
Washington.

SEATTLE, Washington, July S.
Successfully defending their war vessel
the cruiser Pennsylvania, against the
attacks of the torpedo-boat destroyers,
the Fox and the Davis, in mimic nav
al engagement in the Straits of Juan
de Fuca, the officers and men of the
Washington naval militia demonstrated
their efficiency as naval reserve force
and ended the most successful cruise in
the history of the organization.
The Pennsylvania steamed into
Seattle harbor, and the first division
was put ashore while the cruiser pro.
ceeded to Tacoma with the second and
third divisions.
The target practice and naval ma.
neuvers held off Port Angeles at the
end of the ten DAYS cruise gave the
militiamen an opportunity to demon.
strate their ability to handle the big
guns of the cruiser and make good
averages in target practice and to
handle war ship in the face of a
hostile torpedo hotilla.
In target practice the Indian division
from Puyallup Reservation beat both
the Seattle and Tocoma contingents by
a comfortable margin.

were present. The board decided that
the steamship company be allowed to
place its scales on the street between
the kinau and Mauna Kea wharves,
just Off the sidewalk, with a part of
the building on the sidewalk taxing up
all but five feet OF the sidewalk room
The company is to pave the sidewalk
and maintain it and also to pave the
approaches to the scales. The company
will inform the board later as to wheth-
or the conditions named are acceptable.
The Inter-Island officials were disin-
clined to accept any proposal which
included the provision for their concern
to pave the sidewalk. Colonel Mccarthy
stated that the company was receiving
something for nothing, taking up not
only part of the roadway but the side
walk also, and should agree to paying
the paving cost which would be about
5000.
The board authorized estimates to be
secured for small tug or launch cap
able of carrying small water-pumping
apparatus, for use either in fighting fire
or flushing down wharves.
Mr.. Tackaberry of the Honolulu Iron
Works, representing an asbestos roof
ing, was given an opportunity to ex-
plain the merits of his material, and
proposed that the commissioners con-
slider it in making future contracts for
wharf shed building, He stated that
it was considered an advance over cor
rugated iron roofing, and that on many
plantations the new roofing had been
adopted.

WIRELESS OPERATOR
ARRIVES ON LURL|NE

An arrival on the Lu-line yesterday
morning was +. j. McQlade, an expert
enced wireless and an Oh Western
Union operator, who has come to assist
Mr. Maddams at the Heeia station of
the Federal Telegraph Cmopanv. Mr..
McQuade was formerly with the Pub
fishers Press, the Associated Press and
the United Press and is an expert in
the Phillips Code, which is used for
the rapid transmission of press mes
sages. He will be an invaluable oper-
ator in the transmission of the volumes
of press dispatches which the Federal
company is preparing to transmit to
the Islands.
Contrary to reports circulated
here,n said Mr.. McQuade, "the two
stations of the Federal Telegraph Com
pany in San Francisco operate perfect
ly. ] was on the desk at the beach
station there the first night the Kane
one station began to operate and the
signals were absolutely perfect.
Mr.. McQuade states that eighteen
thousand words are handled nightly by
the Federal Telegraph Company press
service. He has been working for the
past month on press matter for the
south and says that fifteen hundred OF
more words per hour are handled with
ease.
This is Mr.. McQuades first visit to
Honolulu, though he has previously
visited other ports in the Islands when
he was wireless operator on the Enter

The Maui Chamber of Commerce
wants the harbor commission to take
over the Claudine wharf at Kahului,
now owned by the Kahului railroad.
The matter was discussed at yester-
day S meeting of the harbor board, but
action was deferred until next meet.
ing. Chairman Campbell stated that
he had just been in conference with
the Governor over the allotments of
the funds derived from the second sale
of bonds and the Kahului item of about
$4,000 would be set aside tor the pur-
chase.
The board also considered the cues
ton of the range light over the Fort
street wharf shed. 1t was stated that
Lieutenant Sahm, head of the light
house service in the Islands, objects to
any tampering with the light The
question came up through the fact that
when large vessels are moored at the
Fort street wharf the tunnels and masts
sometimes hide the light and prevent it
being used as a range with the light
in the lighthouse on Sand Island. Yes
sells have been shifted in order to per-
nit the range light to show. 1t was
suggested that possibly the light might
be elevated.
