England's most famous town criers engaged in a battle of voices at Has, tings the other day The contest was for the championship bell of Great Britain and other prizes. The spec tatops got new idea of what the human voice is capable of doing h. dividually, of course, the town criers could make themselves heard over wide areas and when all of them com bined their voices in one simultaneous roar the effect was deafening The first contest was for the crying cham pionship. The judges sat in a tent. so that they could not see the com- petitors. They judged by the sound alone. One by one the criers stood on the platform, rang their bells and acclaimed the test sentence:
 "Oyez, Oyezi Oyez! Be it known that the floral pageant on August Bank holiday is free feast of joy and beau ty for Hastings and St. Leonards wis itors!''
 In this contest the judges had no hesitation in awarding the first prize to W. B. Angliss of Marlborough.

MANOA OBJECTS TO
PARK FOR FIRE STATION

Resolved to fight to the end against
the proposed selection of Mahoa Park
as a fire station site, the residents
of that district have decided to ap-
peal to the governor through the
medium of petition. asking that he
use his power to influence the city
fathers to select some place ottec
than the park for, the erection OF the
station. This action on the part
of the residents is the result of an
action of the MaDoa Improvement
Club, which body, at meeting last
week, recommended the park as be-
ing the only available place for the
station. .-.. ..@ /. II
That a fire station erected tin the
proposed site will not only mar the
beauty of the park but will make the
entrance to the valley commonplace,
is the opinion of the residents who
have taken especial pains during the
past year to beautify the place, and as
"a result it has been greatly admired
by the tourists. The Outdoor Circle
branch for Manoa has taken an inter-
est in. the park and plans have already
heerf made to create il into beautiful
sylvan entrance to the valley. Plans
have also been made for saall

HILOEXTENSION
NEARCOMPLETED

After nearly four years Of work the
Hilo railroad extension has reached
Paauilo, its terminus, according to
plans SO far evolved. Freight traffic
has begun on the line and Superin-
tendent Filler expects to have passen-
ger cars running by the list OF May.
What remains to be done to have the
extension in complete running order
are ballasting the track, laying spurs
at the terminal and building stations
and warehouses between Ookala and
Paauilo. Ten days ago the Hamakua
Mill Company shipped its last steamer
load of sugar from Kohalalele landing.
its product having since been shipped
by rail to Hilo. ....-:. r.. FL.
With the Inauguration of rail COM
munication Paauilo, as the terminus
of the most important branch of the
railroad system, will become far
more important point than it has ever
been. The location of the depot has
not been definitely decided upon, but
ii will be in the immediate vicinity of
the mill, where turntable is now be-
ing constructed. Arrangements are
also being made for the establishment
of good boarding house at the end
of the line which will be used largely
for the accommodation of train crews,
but which will also have good accom-
modations for travellers. The location
of the establishment, near the bluff
over the sea, affording fine view
of the Koholalele point, is very fine
one. While this concern will not be
operated by the railroad company.
that corporation will have enough to
say about it to see to it that it is
run in a manner which will make it
satisfactory to the travelling public.
Small as it is in itself, there are
few railroads in the world that pos
sess in equal length such monuments
to engineering skill as this extension
does, in immense fills and cuts,
bridges over vast chasms and tun-
nels through hills, nor would it be
easy to find a railroad anywhere which
opens up such a wealth of scenery for
the distance. The line will reflect
enduring glory upon the regulations
of the chief engineer, c. H. kluegal,
and Mr.. Beers, the bridge construct
ing engineer.
