COMMISSARIES
by Associated Pressl


PANAMA. law to abolish privi-
leses OF purchasing at the commissar-
les of the Panama Canal, by others
than employees of the United States
government, has been passed by the
assembly of Panama and signed by
the president. It has not, however,
been published in the Official Gazette,
and will not become effective until
three days after such publication.
The presence of the commissaries,
with their advantages of no rent, no
tariff, and reduced steamship and rail-
road charges, has long been a thorn
in the flesh Of the Isthmian merchants.
The number OF influential persons
who have enjoyed the privilege, given

|. c. GILMAN STRONG BOOSTER FOR
HAWAII ON RETURNFROMG G. \. TRIP

PORTLAND, Portland people
ought TO know more about the most
spectacular volcano in the world" de-
clared L. c. Gilman, president of the
North Bank road and the Great North
ern Pacific Steamship Company, on
his return from voyage to the Hawai-
ian Islands. 1T has never been de.
'scribed. IL never can be adequately
described. The sacred crater of Kilau-
ca, reached by fine automobile road
that passes within a stones throw OF
its tuning brim, gives one new ideas
and new thrills"
Mr.. Gilman made the journey from
San Francisco to Honolulu on the
steamer Great Northern. He describes
the, round trip as 5000 miles without a
whitecap,p with perfect weather and
n sea as smooth as oil
"One day on the Big Island (Hawaii)
was spent in inspecting the volcano"
Mr.. Gilman said "One can stand at
the very brink and look down into the
pit of Halemauinau at the molten lava
boiling and seething like a furnace.
Halemaumnu means House of Ever
lasting Fire. The level Of the lava is
only 200 feet below ones feet. Last
year il was GOO feet II seems to be
xising gradually. The scientist in
Aarge, however, declares it will never
Foil over, though one could well have
such fear. 1t Is rising and falling all
the time, Next year it may lapse
hack
Because Of the extreme ease with
which the rim of the crater can be
reached from Hilo, Mr.. Gilman be-
ieves that the time will come soon
when ii will be one of the best-known
