BOND GUARANTEE
NOT NECESSARY,
SAYS ". A. WALL

"The bill is beore Congress now,
but we are paying no regard TO it at
ALL" said William A. Wall this after
noon with reference to the measure
that passed the 1911 Legislature au-
thorizing the Territory to guarantee
the bonds of any railway that would
open UP undeyeloped territory-or
something to that effect
Mr.. Wall was speaking for the Kona
Railroad and Land Company, of which
he is the first-named among the pro-
moters in its franchise. While ne
spoke as If the bond guarantee would
ue a good thing for the company, he
intimated plainly that it was not fec
essary to the starting of operations
for building the road.
The company has franchise and
is Incorporated under it, and all it
has to do is to go ahead and build
that is, providing the enterprise can
be financed

WOULD BRING
800 GAS men
HERE IN 1915
H. L. Strange Has a Definite
Plan for Bringing Visitors
to Island
EXPECTS TO FLOOD
U. S. WITH LITERATURE
viii Garry on Campaign by
Corresponding With Gas
Men of Country

Aiming, three years in advance, to
get seven or eight hundred gas men
to come to Honolulu in chartered
ship in 1915, is the optimistic inten-
tion-but definite plah-of H. l..
Strange, manager of the Honolulu
Gas Co. This is not "the dream Of a
day." to this ardent promotionist, but
something to which he has already
devoted considerable thought and
time .and to which he expects TO de-
vote much more during the. next three
years.
According to statements made to q
Stap-Bulletin representative this
morning by Mr.. Strange, more than
twenty. gas associations will hold a
joint convention in San Francisco
during the Pan-Paciffc Exposition at
which an attendance of 5000 to 1000
gas men is expected, AL arrange
ments have been made for this joint
convention except deciding the
month in which it is to be held, but
this will probably be September.
The American Gas Institute. formed
in 1906 with roll of 1400, is the
largest Of these associations, the
membership being restricted to prom
inent eas engineers and managers Of
the country. H. L. Strange is a mem,
the country A--
Strange Member.
H. L. Strange is a member
CT this association. There are about.
other associations of
gas men In different sections of
the United States. Through the ef-
forts of the Pacific Coast Gas Associ-
alton, these various organizations
were induced to hold joint conven-
ton in San Francisco in 1915.
Between now and the 1916 conven-
ton every. association will hold
three annual conventions. Mr..
Strange intends to deluge these con-
ventions with promotion literature in.
an attempt to create a desire among
the members to visit Honolulu And
from now on, at all times, he will
carry on q constant campaign by cor
with the gas men of the
United States, in his effort to get
them to come to Honolulu.
81 believe that the fact, that there
are three years in which to carry on
this campaign will result in the sue
cess of my plan, says Mr.. Strange.
Leis Create Interest.
II sent two hnudred leis to a gas
association meeting last year, and the
interest created. caused me to make
plans to get the gas men to come here
in 1915. And am crtain of success.
II is easy to persuade people to visit
Hawaii when the facts are placed be-
fore them. While on the coast the
last time met about dozen gas men
and four Of them have already come
10 Honolulu during their vacation.
In just this proportion | expect to
get results in 1915. From the 3000
or 1000 gas men who will. be in San

quacks, Secretary Kearns this morning
issued an altimatum wiping out the

legs and necks. Major Domo Collins
created small puddle for them with
a hose and the birds after bath went
on individual exploring expeditions
about the grounds.
All went well until this morning
when Secretary Kearns wearirg an

plans with regard to the enterprise.
Mr. Wall said the road would be .

same as the Hilo railroad It would
not take in the Kona plantation rail-
road, as he was informed some peo-
pie supposed.
To Be IS Miles Long.
The line will be seventy-six miles in
length, trayersing the North and
South Kona coast and having a mari
time outlet at Kealakekua Bay Mr.
Mclaughlin is quoted as saying that,
according to estimates Of engineers,
the permanent way complete with
rails can be built at an average cost
of $4,000 a mile. against from $4,000
to $4,000 a mile that the Bilo rail-
road extension IS costing.

land, the area of which, within It's
traffic sphere, viii be greatly increas-
ed with the opening of the Kau irTiga-

Mr.. Mclaughlin is further quoted as
entertaining hopes Of having the pro-
jected line Of steamers between san
Francisco and Manila made kealake-
hua its calling port in these islands OF
the road be contructed. He Is also
said to have fixed on the first OF Janu-
ary next for having locomotives hun

tion will be begged.

man. Judd building, and A. Z. G. At
kinson was named secretary and
treasurer.

movement to present the worlds
champion swimmer with a house and
lot on, his victorious return from
Stockholm, is public and popular
movement in every sense of the word,
feel that no appeals for subscriptions
should be necessary. The subscrip-
tion blanks will be sent out to facili-
tate the sending of the funds as well
as to let people who haven't heard of
il. before know that the fund is being
raised.
Word was received that dozens of
volunteer lists are being circulated,
and the committee wishes to get In
touch with these as soon as possible.
The matter of a big celebration on
the day Duke lands was taken up, and
also there was discussion as to the
lot that should be bought. This will
be looked into by the committee. IL
