For the first time in the history of
the stage. Hawaii and Hawaiian life

way by the medium of the drama and
given presentation on big scale.
Richard Walton Tully, the play
wright who came here some time ago
and lived in the islands. has done It,
and the accompanying photograph
shows one of his beautiful stage set

York.
Aside from its more or less problem
work. the play Is said to be n splen-
did bit of promotion work for the ISL.

really true to Hawaiian conditions, Is
beautiful. and the appeal of the entire
production Is one that should attract
tourists here.

with several photographs of the play
and actors, prints the following lauda-

 In five years the big exposition will be held here and it is essential 'hat the city should be as well cloth ed then as it is possible to have it. To attain this result a start must be made at once. so that the trees will have time to attain consid- erable growth There are hundreds of young birch trees to be obtained almost within the city limits. and these are the most serviceable that can be had Planted in front or back yards or in front of the side walks they relieve the baroness that is too apparent in many of even the prettiest homes in the city.

Many of them, on that occasion, visited the creeks for the first time, but all of them. on their return. ex- pressed the greatest satisfaction with their trip.
 The Commercial club is planning to organize another similar excursion to take place next Sunday and it is 10 be hoped that all those business men who can get away will take ad- vantage of this opportunity to be- come better acquainted with the prospects of the camp.

BOY SCOUTS.

Ottawa Journal: The labor leader who recently took occasion to crit icize the Boy Scout movement as a military organization destined to stand in the way of the doctrine of peace will gain little sympathy from thinking men. AS General Baden Powell has repeatedly stated, the Boy Scouts organization does not form a military body, nor is it easy to see how the training that tends to make the lads alert, honest, humane, ener- getic and patriotic, can fail to win hearty approval from every class of citizens.
 The very extent of the Boy Scout movement which touches every i'm p0rant country in the world is a tribute to the principles which under lie it

Although the advancing march of civilization is doing its best to crowd them from their former environs, at rare intervals some stray creature of the wild and monarch of his knd is stumbled upon in the very suburbs of Fairbanks. Yesterday morning when the crew of the railroad auto were thinking of things foreign to big game in the immediate vicinity. they beheld huge moose standing mo- tionless at the east end of the bridge over Dead Mans slough. As the car sped closer on its way to the city from Ester siding the brute became more uneasy, and when the car was within probably 150 feet of the ami nal it bolted into the woods with a snort and was seen no more.
