nels during the fourteen years and
less than $6,OOO,OOO in building the
automatic telephone system, that it
promised to give the City's telephone
users.
1t had to be forced from time to
time into spurts of development, but
did not at any time do more than
actually required to hold it's fran
chise.
1t has shown bad faith all along
on the telephone matter and finally
entered into a secret deal with its
competitor contrary to the prOvi-
siOns of the forfeiture clause in its
franchise sell out.
It now comes before the Chicago
Council and asks to have that body
of the peoples representatives ap-
prove the sale, so that it will not have
to bother with this mere adjunct to
it's tunnel railroad business. Will the
council grant what it asks?
At the recent gas, oil and electric
light committee meeting, when the
matter came up, there did not seem
to be but one member opposed to the
sale, nor were the ethics of the trans
action considered.
The only question was that of the
value of property to be sold for &c.
100000 which was raised by Aid.
Merriam, and an appraised is now be-
ing made. The city should tell the
company to carry out its part of the
bargain of 1899 or turn the telephone
plant over to the city.
A municipal telephone plant for
Chicago is an immediate possibility,
and is the only honorable course for
the city to take in this matter. A
modern automatic telephone plant
will ultimately give us penny service
as against three, four and five cent
service of the monopoly.

'KONOHI FAT CHOY
Is NOW CELEBRATED

The old Chinese New Year, which
will hereafter be known as the "Har-
vest Festival" was ushered in last
evening with the popping of fire
crackers and the changing of gongs.
"Konohi Fat Choy" was the greeting
in the Chinese colony, and the festivi-
ties, which began early in the even
ing, lasted until midnight at which
time little of the old-fashioned cele-
bration was in evidence.
All the old-time picturesqueness of
former celebrations has been lost, and
this was noticed last evening by the
absence of the decorations which used
to adorn the front of the business
houses at this time of the year. There
were few brilliant colorings and dis
plays, and less lanterns and flags.
There were no silk robes, and the
dress of the men was purely Occi-
dental as the new Republic of China
has adopted the customs of other
countries.
In accordance with the old custom
of the Chinese New Year, the clubs
were open last evening and the usual
banquets and dinners were given, and

With the stakes driven and ground
broken for the new armory, and the
old drill shed Quilted of company
property and fixtures, the National
Guard of Hawaii enters into new
and hopeful period Of its existance.
Reorganization is the slogan Of the
citizen soldiers, and with the certain
ty of a decent, home in the near future,
officers and enlisted men alike are
showing far more interest in militia
work.
The board of officers which was
appointed January % of this year,
''for the purpose of making recon-
mendations based upon a considera-
ton of all matters appertaining to the
National Guard of Hawaii, including
the formation of new companies, the
length of the enlistment period, and
the creation Of reserve militia" has
already held half a dozen meetings,
and plans are being whipped into
shape. This board is composed of
Lieutenant Colonel Charles B. Cooper,
surgeon general; Lieutenant Colonel
J. w. Short, quartermaster general;
Captains E. T. Winant and G. E.

onel Cooper has spent many years in
