CONTRACTORS OF
CITY MAY BIDON
FAIRSTRUCTU

Local contractors are to be given
an opportunity to bid on the construc-
ton and detail work of the Hawaii
building at the Panama-Pacific Expo
sition at San Francisco in 1915, this
decision having been reached a: a
meeting this morning of the members
of the Hawaii Fair Commission. In
order that local bidders may first
make an investigation of the project,
the commission at once will send to
San Francisco for plans and specifica-
tons of the proposed structure.
A motion covering this matter was
made by Commissioner John Hughes.
and unanimously passed by the board.
The board went on record as being
heartily in favor of giving local con-
tractors a chance to put in a bid, one
of the members stating that, by so do
ing, a way might be made clear to-
ward somewhat reducing the cost Of
the building, now estimated at $35, 900.
In response to question from j. n.
s. Williams, Secretary H. p. Wood
stated that allowing local contractors
to look over the specifications and
submit bids would cause but little de-
hay in the present plans Of the CON-
mission. .a.s.'
A letter was read from Governor
l.. E. Pinkham, containing the infor-
nation that the chief executive re-
Gently received letter from Hollis
E. Cooley, chief of special events Of
the exposition, asking that the Hawaii
Fair Commission name day during
the fair when Hawaii Day" could best
be celebrated No action was taken
in this matter, it having been referred
to. the next meeting. .s-.-.. -
, A report from F. A. Potter, Jr., su-
perintendent of the aquarium, in
which was given a rough estimate on
material and supplies required for the
aquarium at the exposition, was &C
cepted by the commission, subject to
a change at any time by that body. It
was stated that Mr. Potter probably
will make several changes which. will
lower the figures of several of the
items
! The estimate of the probable ex-
penses amounts to $3.50, and gives
$500 as an approximate monthly cost
Of maintenance For eight months, at
$500 a month, the maintenance ex-
penses would be $4,000 Adding $2310
to this makes the total of $500.
An estimate of expenses for pub
licity work at the fair, submitted by
Will ]. Cooper, amounted to $13,225.
This report was ordered laid over I'M
til the next meeting, at which time it
will be taken up and discussed item
by item.
The date of meetings was changed
to Thursday afternoons at 8 o'clock
in The rooms of the Promotion Com
mittee, instead of Tuesday mornings
in the rooms of the Chamber of Com
merce. The next meeting will be
held April 80.

SOME POISON PLANTS
CAUSE HEAVY LOSSES ON THE
WESTERN RANGES.
Principal Varieties that Cause Heav.
Test Losses to Stockmen Described
In Agricultural Department
Bulletin.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington-Six OF the poisonous
plants that cause the heaviest losses
of live stock on western ranges are de-
scribed with the aid of full-page pho
tographs in a circular just published
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture under the title, principal
Poisonous Plants of the Western
Stock Ranges"
Despite the damage that these
plants do every year there are many
stockmen who do not recognize them
and in consequence are unable to pro
teet their stock effectively from being
poisoned by them. 1t Is probable that
there are on the ranges large num-
Der OF poisonous plants but the heay-
lest losses are those produced by the
plants named in the circular These
are the Zygadenus, or death camas,
the lupine, the rattleweed or white
loco, one OF the worst OF the many va.
rie,ies of loco plants. the tall larkspur,
the low larkspur and the cicnta or
water hemlock. or these the cicuta
alone is dangerous TO man, causing
violent commissions and even death.
The root of It, however. is the only
poisonous part. In the case of the
other plants. with the exception OF the
lupine. all parts are poisonous to stock.
Both the tall and the low larkspur lose
their poisonous qualities after bios
soming.
The illustrations In the circular are
accompanied by brief descriptions OF
the plant which should enable the
stockman TO identify them readily.
The symptoms peculiar TO each form
OF poisoning and the remedy. when
there is one. are also set forth.
