FEDERAL SITE NEWS TO

Treasury Departments Special
Agent Departs With Little
0stentation, No LeiS

II j.. w. Roberts, special agent oi
the Treasury Department, confided tC
anyone his opinion with reference to
the federal building site, that person
is yet to be found. Roberts left fol
the coast two days ago, without os
|tentation or leis.
Mr. Roberts is apparently one OF
the mcst modest of men. During the
trifle more than two weeks which he
spent here, his presence in no wise
disturbed the ordinary routine of the
city. He was the guest at no ban
quets. Even the Ad club failed to get
its clutches on him. How he lived.

stated that he had had pleasant
call from the government architect,
but didn't get an inkling as to his
frame of mind.

man, lis an excellent listener, but
apparently a poor ,taIker. In fact. the

class with him. He was most pleas

The general impression seems to
be that Roberts will recommend the
Irwin site. which was the one most
prominently favored locally next to
the original Mauka site, which is now
apparently out of the running. 1t is
understood that this site is still
available on practically the original
terms offered. "
Roberts will reach Washington
probably by the 10th of May, and the
first authentic information concern
ing the location Of Honolulu's federal
building will probably come from
there after he has made his re-
port to the secretary of the treasury.

bizarre collection of religious edi.
fices. Pehind the town there set, ma
jestic and yet somehow maternal, a
half-circling group of mountains so
near they seem to be holding in their
laps these pretty valleys and quaint
villages. Slope above slope. hill above

high skyline, and in April their lofty

ian party was blessed above even the
ordinarily fortunate We arrived On a
night of full moon, the air clear, pure
water and heavy SHOWS had fallen
some days previous And so for us
there was that night view that none
will forget. From other countries
there will come praise for the Alps,
for the Andes, for the blue Mediter-
ranean by sunlight or the Tai Mahal

looked on the marble whites, the
translucent dove-greys, the steel

For the Honolulans, that superb

earth are the greens tenderer, the
sailing clouds more playfully win

sea more breath.taking. than at that
same Pali The moonlit mountains at
Nikko have a similar effect so far as
amazement goes. But these the like.

ously alive and young; the Nikko
mountains by moonlight seem as i'm
passive, as brooding and as aloof as
the tomb of the mighty Iyeyasu which
they guard with austere v'atchfulness.
Up in the hills nestle some pretty
lakes which we may visit before leav-

waii party is staying pretty close to
the fire.
The town of Hachi-Tchi, adjacent
to the Nikko temples is an interest

town as l have ever seen. Probably
three-fourths of the hundreds of shops

RED CROSS NURSES
What the Women Are Doing

The women of the Red Cross are
nursing, cheering and comforting the
wounded or dying. The women OF
Europe not only wrap bandages and
scrape lint, but they tend the farms,
dig coal, carry burdens and do the
work of the men now under arms.
Every male fighter, however, brawny
and heroic, was born of woman; the
high courage and hardihood that are
a nations strength are inherited from
the mothers.
Young mothers who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spite of
an increasing family and the care OF
growing children are always to be
envied. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription gives the strength and health
upon which happy motherhood de-
ponds 1t practically does away with
the pains Of maternity. 1t enables the
mother to nourish the infant life de-
pending on her, and enjoy the hourly
happiness of watching the develop
ment of perfectly healthy child.
Thousands Of women who are now
blessed with robust health cannot I'M
derstand why thousands of other wom-
en- continue to worry and suffer from
ailments peculiar to women when they
can obtain for trifling sum DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
will surely and quickly Danish all pain,
distress and misery and restore the
womanly functions to perfect health.

Arrangements were made at the
time Of the retirement Of N. H. Hut

thirty years service with the Central
Union telephone system, on Sept. l,

the Home company had been handling
the Bell business over trunk lines.
The Home company has spent over
$4,000 In new equipment, and in re-
vising the long distance switchboards
preparatory to taking over the new
business. A long distance wire chief
desk has been added, and the long dis
lance lines can be tested automatical-
ly without interfering with the local
lines.
With all the trunk lines now run.

increased fifty per cent"

erage Of 10000 calls each day.
