ugly COMMENTS

BY W.R.CASfLE
(oontinued from page one)

Company has never had any other
proposition.
If, however, the department in
Washington decides that 1t viii not
use the Mahuka site without the Fort
street front, and for that reason must
abandon this location, then Mr.. Shin
Gle will see what can be done to pro
tect that large number of business
people in Honolulu who contributed
and paid the entire cost of the open
ing of Bishop street from King tc
Merchant, with the distinct under
standing and agreement on the par
OF the United States government thai
when this street was opened the Ma
huka site should be used. If the
United States government abandons
the Mahuka site, it must, in all jus
|tice, and / believe will be held legally
bound, to restore to all those people
the amounts they contributed.
If, however, the Mahuka site is nc
longer lin the ring, and the United
States government will not use this
site, then Mr.. Single will endeavor
in what he believes to be in the in
terests of the business community oil
Honolulu and of thu whole territory
and in this il will be found that the
opponents are mainly faddists-tc
procure site near to the Mahuka
site; that is to say. the block bound
ed by Merchant, Alakea, Queen and
Bishop streets, and for this he may

not know anything about it. But if he
sells the lot in all probability he will
get the commission he is entitled to
receive, just as the Advertiser ex
pscts to be paid for its services as a
printer
If Mr. Single has any other bust
ness in Washington, trust he will be
able to carry it through successfully
and thereby help to pay his expenses
which are not borne by the public

fMr. McCarn evidently is opposed to
the site but appears to be aactful
enough not to come out and say so.
The present appropriation is not suf.
ficient to pay the awards. let alone
the interest, and believe the pres

Mr. garn'slargun1ent Is that money
can be saved by the government If
the Mahulfa site Is given up. II. by
doing this, 100000 or 100000 can
be saved by the government. why does
1t not purchase a site nearby? On
the other hand, it might prove diff

1t was early in July when we camped
IN a wild and rugged side ravine, an
offshoot of the main valley, camp be-
ing pitched on a rich grass sward hard
by the waters edge, while above us
stretched the dark moraine, and then
the snow-capped peaks of the Hima-

ing grandeur the burhel has his home,
but seldom disturbed by the crack OF
the hunters rife. During the day of
our arrival in this picturesque spot we
had seen burhel high up on the slopes
within a mile Of camp, which augured
good prospects for the morrow We
started the next morning before dawn,
heading up the ravine and on to the
ridge, which we followed in the hope
OF getting above the burhel and work
ing down against the wind, thus obvi-
ating the chance of their seeming us.
IL was q long and extremely hard
climb. and near the snowline became
much more so from the huge nature
of the rocks and boulders. But luck
was in. for, arrived at the top, we
sighted a herd Of burhel out on an
open patch, bare and alarmingly pre-
cipitous, which descended in single
sweep full 1000 feet to the river bed
below. The binoculars showed one of
the heads to be particularly fine, with
that graceful backward and outward
sweep characteristic OF the burhel
Once out on the slope on which the
herd was feeding we became more or
less exposed, while the rattle OF loose
shale might easily cause the quarry to
seek safety in precipitate fight. BY
crawling along and taking advantage
of slight folds in the terrain we finally
reached a point from which any furth.

when told that nice little girls must
not play in the street after dark, even
upon special occasion such as Hal

q WAY up In the northeast OF
India lies the British district
A OF Carnival, a land of lofty
peaks, great glaciers and rug
ged ravines, the habitat of the
burhel, or blue sheep, and red bear.
The dominant note Of this province is
the Himalaya range, or Abode of
Snow as the natives picturesquely
term 1t, that stupendous natural bar
rier between Tibet and Hindustan.
Carnival contains within its limits
some 20 peaks exceeding height OF
10000 feet, including Nanda Dew (25,-
go feet, Trisul (2S,409 feet, and
many others of almost equal magni-
tude. Apart from the people who in
habit these mountain Businesses, the
chief object of interest attaching to
the region in question is the shikar
there found, of which the burhel (Ovis
nahura) and the red bear (Ursus isa-
bellinus) are the most prominent,

1t is BLUSH grey on the upper portions
OF the body, with white below, the hair

enables the animal to withstand the

burhel is seldom found below an alti-
