KALIHI TRACT
STILL DESERTED

Down at the Kalihl tract that was
for three months under quarantine,
the houses are still unoccupied. The
Boys Home is, however populated,
and the lads are glad to be back again
from Quarantine Island.
1t is probable that at a meeting of
the Bishop Estate, which is to be held
on Friday, some decision will be come
to regarding the shifting of the houses
on the tract to some more suitable
location.
A Chinese storekeeper, who had to

POISONED TEA
IS SUSPECTED

Food Commissioner Blanchard is at
present very busy on several matters
of Importance. When he returned
from Maui this morning he was asked
to make a test for poison in some cold
tea that was submitted to him. The
tea was a portion of some that a Chi
nese woman, living in Kakaako, de-
clared that her husband had given
her to drink, and which had made her
very ill.
The woman suspected that her hus-
band had placed some drug in the
tea, and at once informed some friends
of the fact. Mr.. Ryder, the well
known missionary worker, put some
of the tea in a jar, and sealed the sam
pie up. He sent the tea to Blanchard
for analysis, and a test is being made
of the liquid.
Canned fruit is taking up a lot Of
the time of the Food Commissioner,
and he has some dozens of different
samples that he is examining for evi,
dence that may show that the solder

A statement alleged to have been
made by Editor Matheson of the Ad-

integrity of Charles J. Mccarthy as a
member of the Board of Harbor Com
missioners, was referred by that body
this afternoon to the Attorney Gen
eral for such action as he might deem
suited to the case.
Mccarthy, rising to a question of
privilege, stated that he had been in
formed by E. P. Irwin that R. o. Mat

stated that he, Mccarthy, was dishon-

tion with the Hilo wharf matter.

superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell expects to receive
the necessary steel work for the Ju-
dietary building next week. The work
on the building is proceeding very
rapidly, and the superintendent is
pleased with the way the contractors
are handling the job.
Tenders will be advertised for the
construction of the Napoopoo land
ing in a day or so. The contracts for
the erection of two additional pa
tients' cottages for the Kalihi Hos
pital are also to be advertised today
The work of laying water mains Is
progressing well, the King street part
of the job going ahead at rapid
rate. Sufficient pipe is now in sight
to finish the work contracted for, and
the replacing of the old and wornout
mains with new ones will prevent a
lot of leaking and waste of water.

Building--Coast Line Improve
mCnts.

Bishopville, March 13.-The hand
some and costly building which the
Bank of Bishopville has in course of
construction is taking shape rapidly.
1t Is being built of gray stone and is
to have two mammoth columns, one
on each side of the street entrance.
Rumor has fixed the cost of erecting
the building at thirty to thirty-five
thousand dollars.
A large grading outfit passed
through town this week, giving out
that all grading had been finished to
the river. On this side the grading is
finished to well within the incorpor-
ate limits. 1t is understood here that
20 car loads of iron have arrived in
Hartsville for this road and that track
laying had commenced from that
point.
The Atlantic Coast Line is very So
fictitious Of our comfort and safety
these days. In addition to the new
brick passenger station ticket office
and baggage room our freight depot
has been heightened to 21O feet and
the cotton platform has been enlarg-
ed aud sheltered. The capacity of the
cotton platform Is now pretty near
the fifteen hundred mark.
Our country roads are execrable and
our city streets in places are worse.
Maybe we need vitrified brick roads.
II Is said that such roads are costly.
Ii can also be said that these openings
which are now called roads are cost
" about 100000 annually for this
