TO RESTORE
ANCIENT HEIAU
OF ALALA

john r. G. Stokes, curator Of Poly

as being heartily In favor CT the plans
now before the Promotion, Committee
which provide for the restoration o.
the heian Ct .Alala, Kailua, Oahu, but
believes II would be a serious mis-
take to attempt this work without firsi

we cannot help thinking it strange.

ROAD QUESTION HINGES
ON SOLON'S ACTIONS

The agitation against motor trucks
Is serious thing" says c. w. MarWn.
manager motor truck tire department,
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
Akron, Ohio.
The Massachusetts, legislators
showed good judgment when they re-
fused to increase the registration fee
Of motor trucks.
when bills were submitted for
that purpose in Massachusetts, they
were killed by the legislature which
deemed 1t unwise to further tax bus
mess. Massachusetts, has excellent
roads and is also leader in legisla-
ton on motor topics. This should be
reason enough for other states to stop
and consider before passing drastic
measures that would hinder the al
ready wonderful and unparalleled
growth Of the motor truck.
IL they would have allowed this
bill to be passed. 1t would have estab-
lished a precedent that would have
possibly resulted In the registration
fees being increased each year or
perhaps every other year. The even
tual result would work hardship on
the industry through the fact that
prospective truck owners would hest
tate before purchasing IL a heavy fee
was added to the initial cost.
1.-THE motor truck has become an
economic necessity, and the result of
increasing the upkeep cost of motor
trucks would indirectly work hard

stan. Great Importance Is lent to
this particular trip--the longest OF all
and the only one that can be trav-
eled throughout the year-because
the largest share of road improve
ment throughout that territory Is like
ly to be along the line carefully Sc
lected by this routing and mapping
expedition.
From El Paso on the Rio Grande
the route finally chosen, passes
through Alamagordo, Roswell, Sweet
water, Abilene, Mineral Wells. Fort
Worth, Dallas and Paris to Texar-
kama on the Arkansas river, the Tex
as-Arkansas border. Surprisingly
good natural roads were found for
hundreds of miles, while other long
stretches were seen to need consider
able Improvement to At them for the
large amount of travel certain to come
by 1915. Along the entire line the
people OF the Lone Star state were
enthusiastic over the new through
route, and pledged their support to-
ward It's building and maintenance.
II Is significant OF the statewide In.
terest aroused that before Westgard
and the Pathfinder had entered west
ern Texas, the people along the low
err route from Ell Paso through Sierra
Blanca, Alpine. Fort Stockton, San
Angelo, Waco and Fort Worth to Dali
las had started q vigorous movement
to popularize their route, and asked
the American Automobile association
to log that also. A similar applicA
ton was received from the cities and
towns along the line from Roswell
|, through Midland to Fort Worth and
Dallas. Gradually these and the
| other important through roads will
be charted with the result that Texas
| will not only be placed on one Of the
great trunk lines between the Allan
tic and Pacific: but that the data
necessary for travelling the principal
routes within the state will be really
available for the visiting motorist.
Enthusiastic receptions were giver
to the pathfnding party practically all
the way, even across Arkansas, where
the worst roads OF the entire TRIP
were encountered. Automobile and
good roads clubs are being rapidly or
ganized In that district and better
highways are certainty OF the not
