operated by another Chinese, the sue
cessor I'd Lin All Kim, who was muir
.dered by Fflipinos on May l. The rice
mill building will, it is contemplated.
be used as a post laundry to be oper-
ated by the post exchange. This will
be welcome addition to the garrison
equipment of conveniences and should
prove the source OF a considerable
revenue to the exchange. The laun-
dry will of necessity be called upon
to do the work for over 1900 men and
will be no small establishment.
Though managed by the exchange, the
employees will be brought in from the
outside and will probably be Chinese.
Ii has not yet been decided whether
modern machinery will be installed
or whether hand methods will be used
40 do the work The machinery plan
would appear TO be quite practicable,
since the building is already equipped
with a power plant wherein the flow
of water from a powerful artesian
we'll is employed. The expense Of
procuring and installing the necessary
mangles, centrifugal driers and other
devices would probably be borne by
the exchange since no appropriations
by congress have been made. to SUP
ply such plant for Fort Shafter. This
expense the exchange is. well prepared
to withstand, as it is in a flourishing
financial condition. Altogether the
plan is a practicable one in every way
and it is hoped will be put into opera
ton as the present demands for
transportation of the laundry work
to and from the city laundry establish
ments are considerable in amount and
reduced prices for work will undoubt-
edly prevail to the great benefit of
the enlisted force of this large garri-
son. The store building above re-
ferred to will be torn down or moved
entirely and used as an addit ora ia
.cility to the laundry building.

Lieut.. Charles b. Lyman, Of the we'll
known Lyman family of the islands,
who is a recent graduate of the milf
tary academy at West Point, is on the
passenger list of the transport Logan
scheduled to arrive at Honolulu on the
18th of this month.
Lieut.. Lyman has been assigned to
the infantry arm of the service, ac-
cording to recent orders from the war
department, copies of which appear in
the latest issues of the service papers.
Inasmuch as two eEaeancies now exist
in the grade of second lieutenant IN
the Second Infantry, the young off,
GERS many friends in this part of the
world are exceedingly hopeful that he
will receive assignment to that regi-
ment. The regiment itself will ex-
tend him a warm welcome sho.;ld he
become member of its commissioned
force. Lieut.. Lyman was, az is III
known, a star on the West POiat base
ball team and was that teams mSin-
stay as catcher and in his final game
at the Point with the strong Navy
team as opponents, raped out q thrice
Dagger that brought victory for the
Army. The lieutenant learned the
catcher's business at Punahou, where
he was a student before entering the
military academy. Needless to say, he
will figure in the calculations OF Ma
ior Smith as regards future ball
games between army officers and Al
Castles University Club players. In
cidental to the above, it is learned
that Lieut.. Harold P. Geiger, Coast Ar
.tillery Corps, one of the army aviators
en- route to- the Hawaiian islands by
the same transport that brings Lieut..
LYMAN, is ball pitcher quite in Cas-
ties class. This pleasing news has
caused Major Smith and Lieut.. Clark
to inaugurate negotiations with the
University Club for a series of games
to be played at an early date in the
endeayor to convince the public that
Castle and his crowd do not hold a
monopoly in baseball prowess. It IS
planned to play the first game on
July 10, if arrangements can be salts
factorily concluded therefor.

of the privilege of leaves, Burroughs
and similar indulgences as announced
i'm a recent circular from Hawaiian

Mrs. Wright expect now to avail them
selves of an extended leave and will
take their departure for the mainland
on the August transport. They will
make a long visit with Lieut. Wright's

contemplates leaving for the Coast by
the next transport, to be absent, how
ever, but about month. Major
Smith will spend his leave in San
Francisco and at Santa Cruz, where
