Ideas on road-butlding that may be

were brought back from California by
William Williamson, representative in
the last House and now candidate
on the Republican ticket to succeed
himself in the legislature. While his
visit to the mainland was for COM

sure, Mr.. Williamson found opportun.
ity to look around him and pick up
some valuable pointers as to what
California is doing In the line of pro-
gress.
In particular, he found that the
Standard Oil Company has established
a "road laboratory in San Francisco
and that the results of the great cor
poration's work are the development
of road-building in more efficient and
scientific ways than ever been tried
here. +. .....
'In this laboratory" said Mr.. Will
hanson this morning. scientific tests
are made of rock apd oil, so that,
given any particular kind Of rock the
tests here will determine what oil
should be used and just how the
combination should be made in order
to get the best results.
THE work is In charge Of q noted
chemical engineer, and Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons of the Standard Oil Company
there, showed me the work done In
the freest and frankest kind Of way.
The Standard Oil Company has this
laboratory at the disposal of the pub

tests OF road-making material for any

is the best material, according to Its
tests, Il will not bid on the oil con-

Friends from Mainland Cable
Congratulations to Chief

ACTION so EARLY il.
WAS NOT EXPECTED
Thought President Might Want
to Go Over Testimony
Taken Here

Governor Walter F. Frear's reap
pointment, his exoneration of the
charges preferred against him by
delegate Kuhia and his continuance
In office to carry out the changes in
government which Secretary Fisher
indicated as desirable while. he was
here, are regarded as definitely set
tied by the Associated Press cable
sent out from President Taft's sum-
mer home at Beverley, Mass, early
this morning. The cable reads:
BEVERLY, Massachusetts,, October
1S.--It was announced here late yes
terday that President Taft has re-
ceived thee Recommendation of Sec
retary Of the Interior Walter L. Fish
er, following his investigation of the
charges against the Fhear admins
tration In the Territory Of Hawaii,
made by Prince ]. X. Kalaianaole,
Delegate to Congress. HlI1
It Is also stated that the Presi-
dent approves the recommendation
supporting the Frear administration
and will at once reappoint f.overnor
Frear as executive of the Territory
of Hawaii.
As evidence that the reappointment
is certain. several cable messages of
congratulation were received at the
governors office today, showing that
the news that he would be reappoint-
ed was evidently authorized by Presi-
dent Taft and sent broadcast over the
country.
This news had been expected here
quite confidently by all those who
followed the Fisher investigation and
predicted In this paper at the close OF
the investigation. However, it had
been thought that Taft might wait to
go over the great mass of testimony
taken here before finally making up
his mind.
Governor Frear was not in his of
flee except for very short time this
morning and no statement from him
could be obtained. His friends are
highly pleased with the news.

be gained from the fact that about
1900 sheets of best-quality stationery

lettering of expensive workmanship a
