LETTER TO THE BANNER

Bedding, Mich,

Editor Banner.
Bedding, Mich,
Dear Sir:
/ have noted your editorial in issue
of the Banner for December 18th, en-
titled, "Pere Marquette Must Have
Higher Fares" and wish to thank you
for your comment.
AS Judge futile says in the inter-
view quoted by you, our figures show
that we are handling passenger bust
ness at a loss and by his direction we
are taking steps to lay the situation
before the Legislature for such relief
as it may give. l believe that such
convincing proof OF the facts can be
presented that the Legislature will feel
impelled to grant reasonable in
crease. There is no question in my
mind that when the people of the
State understand the real situation,
they will not only be willing but anx-
ious to remedy it. Your cooperation
in bringing the matter to their atten-
ton is certainly very much appreciat-
ed, and the Receivers will be grateful

Through the courtesy OF Chas

by Nudge a. Kendall.
We print the following items:
The brick engine house at the mill
is progressing toward completion.
Bedding can surely crow now, for IL
is TO have circus. July 3, is the

Don't forget about the big celebra-
ton Bedding is TO have. IL is going to
be immense, for a fact.
Croquet playing, IL seems. has be-
come TO some Beldingites sort of
Sunday amusement. Some of our
best citizens offer friendly criticism.
Zeph Gooding thinks that anybody
with half an eye ought to be able to
see that his house has just had anoth-
er coat OF paint added to its outside
surface.
The job of building a new super
structure TO the bridge at the foot Of
Main street has been let to stephen
Gage and Hewitt Harroun for the sum
OF $500

The schools Of this village will close
on Friday, and the teachers, Miss Kate
Donovan and Miss Nancy Anderson,
will join their scholars in a picnic to
be held in Broas' grove. Tables will
be set at about one o'clock. So far as
we have been able TO learn we judge
that these teachers have given good
satisfaction.

DISMISSAL Of
!. ]. WALTER DOYLE
IS NO SURPRISE
As Long Ago as May 10 Com
missioners Put 1t Up to Him
to Make Good on the Job

j. Walter Doyle, director OF publicity
at San Francisco for the Hawaii ex-
position commission, has been given
notice by Chairman H. P. Wood that
his services will not be required after
July 81. according to despatch receiy-
ed in Honolulu last night.
Since the middle OF May the axe"
has been suspended above Doyle, and
there has been considerable CORE
spondence between himself and Mr..
Wood, and between Doyle and people
in Honolulu over the circumstances
which have eventually led to his dis
missal. @.s:...
Doyle has been given months no
tice, after being allowed to continue
at his work until after the staging OIL
"A Night in Hawaii.
Il think that the commissioners are
agreed in the opinion that you have
not given hawaii value received for
the money paid you for your services, !"
said Chairman Wood in his letter of
dismissal. -,
In letter dated May Is Mr.. Wood
wrote to Doyle in part as follows:
During the course of our converse
ton yesterday, you asked me just
what your status was with the Hawaii
exposition commission and what you
were expected to do. had hoped that
this matter might have been settled
by the resolution employing you but
all that was said in the letter relating
to the matter from Mr.. Williams, vice
chairman, was that you had been en-
ployed at $175 per month from March
l, but that if your services were not
satisfactory. | was authorized to dis
pense with them, giving you month s
notice or pay for a similar period.
Thus far, have not been able
to arrive at any conclusion as to the
value of your work. The only instance
in which | asked you to do something,
namely, prepare a little leaflet as a
guide to the Hawaii building, you APP
parently paid no attention to, so was
forced to get out the publication my
self AS to the value of the publicity
secured by you in meeting steamers,
generally speaking, | am somewhat
skeptical, though quite willing to admit
that the interviews secured with re-
turning legislators recently appearing
in the local press, were, in my opinion,
of value to the islands. Your report
on news matters to the island papers
are, of course, interesting to friends
there and probably serve to create in
terest in the exposition as whole.

might accomplish something of value

Entire Estate of Late Philan-
thropiSt Will Scarcely Total
That Much, Say Associates

The estate left by the late Charles
r. Bishop, who died in San Francisco
June Z. instead of approximating $780,
100000 is probably not worth at most
one-tenth of that amount, according to
the opinion of Honolulu business men.
Unless the estate of the late philan-
thropist is many times larger than
close business associates in Honolulu
believe. the share of (. Faxon Bishop

more than S1,000,000 as reported in
