with kitchenette, so popular in San

rapidly be flied, and as rents rule

Mr.. Smead, who is a close observer
in real estate and other business
conditions, that there is a good deal
of discussion about widening streets.
Honolulu might try the arcading plan,
which Los Angeles is adopting in
some quarters . 1t means having the
street cars come clear to- what are
now the edges of the buildings, using
the present sidewalk as street. The
sidewalks are cut, say ten feet wide,
into the buildings. This plan gives a
beautiful street, good sheltered
sidewalk, and is the cheapest way OF
widening. You may have to do it
some day.

SUBMARINE SLIDES MAY
 HAVE DISABLED CABLE

Disturbances of the bed of the sea are believed to have caused the dis ability of the United States military cable in the waters of Southeastern Alaska. At the present time there is no part of the cable in the waters east of Sitka that can be used. It was thought that the inability to work be- tween Sitka and Wrangell was caused by the grounding of the current on the Juneau end of the cable, which was the first to go out of commission. in charge of the Juneau office, discOn- nected the Juneau branch of the line at Cape Fanshaw the other day, it was found that the line between Sitka and Wrangell was still out of commission. Sergeant Floyd returned from Cape Fanshaw and Wrangell on the State of California. The line between Wrangell and Ketchikan and Hadley is also unworkable That means that there are at least three breaks in the cable. The Juneau cable Is broke. and it is impossible to work either way from Wrangen.
 Sergeant Floyd believes that an earthquake has probably caused some submarine slides that have covered and stretched the cables so that they have become useless. The cable-ends at Fanshaw and at Wrangell have been stretched until they are so taut that it is impossible for one to make them give or bend under the weight when they are stepped upon. This is regarded as evidence that the cables have been interfered with by disturb ances to the sea-bed.
 Rapid Transit Left Thursday
 The Rapid Transit was to leave Se- attle Thursday night for the scene of the trouble, and the local cable force is waiting to hear the first sound of her on the other end of the line. It is expected that she will be heard from some time today.
 It is likely that a part or parts of the cable might have to be left and Ia new piece or pieces put in. That will be the case if slides have covered it up as suspected, and it will not be the first time that has been found necessary. A little more than a year ago the cable ship, in repairing a break, had to leave two miles of cable at the bottom of the sea and replace it with new cable.
