The gulch between the two sections
of the post has been closed to pedes-
trians By the quartermaster, Capt. A.
C.. Knowles, during the construction of
the new walk and steps. The blasting
of the rock and the hauling of the
large bouIders by the mule teams has
made the old pathway through the
rayine dangerous and all residents
and visitors at the post are to use
the wagon roads until further notice

unusually powerful and beautiful film
attractions for the amusement hall
during the month of November. PROP
ably the best list of unusual film fea-
lures Fort Shafter will ever be priv

pay both officers and enlisted men to
get ticket as each night will sur
pass the last 4. II. z.....:@:
~ o.
Sergeant Breitfield. Quartermaster
Corps, is engaged in blasting the larg-
or boulders in the ravine The brok-
en- rocks resulting from this dynamite
ing will be used in the construction
of the new walk through the gulch
The level tracks of land resulting
from the removal of the large rocks
to the north and south of the walk are
perfect sites for the erection of at
least one double tennis court and now
is the time for the .wielders sof the
racquet to urge the subject Col. Fran
els H. French had assigned a space
cantonment road to be used for the
construction of such courts as were
desired but about that time orders
reassigning officers and lack of en-
on the part of those remain
ing allowed the matter to drop.

Owing to the inability of the post
exchange officer 10 make the purchas-
es of the Philippine lace and open
work materials at Manila, it will be
impossible for the same to be furnish
ed through the post exchange as pre-
viously published. But the usual IA
cilities for the purchase of Christmas
toys and presents will be made by the
"vchange. either of the local mer-
chants or maiprnnd dealers.
