Ore Rates Fixed

Last years rate on ore has been
named on a block to be moved from
the head of the lakes. The figure Is
40 cents. free to the vessels. While
the amount OF ore covered is small
II is enough to make vessel men be-
lieve that the 1914 rates will be paid
all along the line. This will not be
satisfactory as regards ore moved
from Escanaba. The difference be-
tween the rates paid from the head
of the lakes and Escanaba Is too
great and small craft cannot carry
ore from the latter port at profit.
Shippers and vessel owner hope
that the ore trade remains quiet. as
Il is at present. for month yet, as
they are of the opinion that n buying
is delayed there will be greater
volume OF 1t at once. which will bene-
nc the freighters.

The trouble with most thin folks

your digestive tract assimilates the
food you eat. L. ,~.. e.. -,

stroke Of modern chemistry IL called
Sargol and has been termed the great
est Of flesh-builders. Sargol aims
through its re-generatiVe, reconstruct

CITY MAY.HAVE
TO BUY SLICES
OF COSTLY Land
Bits of Property Which Project
Into Streets Make Sidewalk
Problems Difficult

Settlement in regard to property
which abuts into Honolulu streets and
which has to be cut off when the
streets are widened. is going TO have
TO be made soon. according to the
l.. NJ Whitehouse.
Mr.. Whitehouse was led to voice an
opinion in the matter when asked to.
day in regard to the case Of one Lum
Mong Hong. a Chinese who has had
property cut off by the widening
project on King street out in the Ka-
lihi district. and who is now offering
the property for sale to the city as q
compromise.
There are a great many cases just
the same as this one," says the city
engineer. These property owners
seem to feel that their property has
been completely ruined, and are try
ing to force 1t on to US by sale. We
must get to some definite stand in
the matter and know what answer to
make"
The same case exists on Beretania
street between Fort and Nuuanu,
where property juts out into the n1au.
ka side of the street, and Is an eye
sore to persons who love a well laid
city, according to the engineer. This
is a large strip Of property. Another
strip lies on Nuuanu avenue just mau-
ka OF Beretania. To lay a sidewalk
properly it will be necessary for the
engineering department to cut of part
Of the projecting buildings.
All in all there are about 30 such
cases in the city. Several Of the prop.
erty owners have so far refused to
make any compromise, and Mr.. White
house would like to see what can be
done toward bringing one about.
1T is likely" he says, that the
city government will be willing to pay
for the property damaged. provided
the owners ask reasonable recon-
pense. II they do not, condemnation
proceedings can be started. do not
believe that the city can afford TO
