Begin Actual Work on
New HickOk Plant

Gangs of engineers, working under
the supervision of the Fred II. HaVens
construction Company of Philadelphia

ings which will compose the new plant
OF the w. o.. Hickok Manufacturing
Company.
The contract recently closed calls
for the completion of the buildings in
100 working days. Efforts will be
made TO have them completed in less
than hat time.

son, its chairman. and there is talk of
both of the Irish leaders, John Red
mond and Sir Edward Carson, becom-
ing members.
For nine months the Liberal cabinet
has conducted the war government
with loyal support from the leaders of
the Conservative party in parliament.
Since the month of May brought the
most critical days of the great struggle
upon them, the British people of all
parties have become more and more
convinced that the anagemen of
their destinies by n political party
cannot bring the full strength of the
nation into the struggle. Consequently
a reorganization of the forces, it is
thought. would meet a growing pop
ular demand.
Stir Up UndercurFent
The Conservative newspapers have
not felt the same obligation to respect
the party truce that the parliamentary
leaders have shown n their criti-
cisms of government policies and of
certain cabinet members have stirred
mn an u"ndercurrent of discomfort
throughout the country.
The rupture between Admiral Fisher
and Mr.. Churchill is no surprise. One
Is q stiff-necked old man who is popu-
larry credited with both the deter
hiiiidtioll anu the anllltN TO m
the navy as masterfully as Kitchener
commands the army. while the other
is a strenuous and ambitious young
man who is equally resolved to enforce
his own views and naval policy.
Opposition to Join
The government has definitely
sought the cooperation of the oppo-
sition and opposition leaders have. in
principle, consented to join them saws
the parliamentary correspondent of the
Times in discussing the coalition cabi-
net, but nothing is likely to be de-
ctded upon until the Unionist leaders
have obtained the formal backing OF
their followers at a party meeting,
There can he little doubt of the result,
for, although the Unionist party never
mas been enamored of coalition, the
present situation has neither precedent
o parallel. If an equal share OF
power is offered, not merely in weight
OF numbers but in the importance OF
offices. such an offer put forward on
patriotic grounds cannot reasonably be
rejected when the alternative is either
q steadily weakening government or a
genera election. The Labor party also
naturally would be represented in such
a national government.
All the morning papers agree that
the governments increasing difficulties
led them to seek the cooperation OF
Unionist leaders.

A Number of changes in the present

of accounts of the county auditor and

Westcott finished his report Saturday

Among other features of his report
is a condemnation of the present form

that the burden of maintaining the

item amounts to $2S,000 annually.

A smooth automobile highway all

completion of the belt road within IL

the prospect that was mapped out in
the minds of some members of the
municipal party that made the circuit
on Saturday The chairmen of the
road and the ways and means commit
tees were in Engineer Wallis auto,
and the way the trio sized up the work
necessary to attain the consummation
just mentioned made it appear feas-
ible.
There is not much grading to be
done anywhere in the presently bad
stretches and it is believed by Mr..
Wall and Chairman Quinn that the
best material for the supeTstructure is
coral. II is proposed to obtain the
material from the deposit at Kahuku
and transport it by rail to the termi-
nus of the Koolau railroad, whence it
wagons along the route.
At present the belt road is in good
condition from Waimea to Honolulu,
requiring only slight repairs in one or
two spots. With the work contemplat-
ed from Waimea in the other direc-
tion, which would make a coral road
to the foot of the pail. the only diff
cult stretch left would be that cross

Lieut. Albert X c. Palmer of the

quented trails and roads. Reaching a
small Japanese village two miles
southeast of Haleiwa on the Opaeula
gulch, he inquired about trail which
was shown on the map as crossing the
gulch at this point. The villagers
showed him where the trail began,
but refused to go with him across the
gulch on account of the darkness.
He had hardly gone 20 feet down
the trail when he and his horse went
tumbling into the canyon. Lieut.. Pal

regained consciousness there were
several Japanese men around him with
lanterns, Swho proceeded to help him
to the top of the gulch. They refused
to help him find his horse or to go
with him to Haleiwa, but sold him a
lantern, and about 9 o'clock Lieut.
Palmer reached the Haleiwa hotel in
semi-conscious condition. Though
covered with cuts and bruises there
were no broken bones nor injuries of
a serious nature.
Relapsing into Inconsistencies
Lieut.. Palmer was transported by au-

but the next morning he insisted upon
organizing a party to search for his
