Although near Spokane there IS situated Fort

Some years ago this body, although Spokane is an
inland city and far from the seacoas presented to
the navy department costly and beautiful silver
cup known as THE Spokane Cup" for excellence
in workmanship by all naval ships carrying guns OF
six inch and smaller.
This trophy has been the object of keen contests

the cruiser San Diego, whose two turrent crews
have just made 100 and SO per cent respectively

n On behalf of Hawaii the Pan-Paci6c club of
this city has done we'll to assume the financial
obligations of the building, which is one Of the
largest and best located at the San Diego Exposi-

through 1916 for the advancement of all Pacific
lands and interests.
ALREADY, practically every Pacific land has sent
attractive exhibits to be displayed in the Pan

understanding is that at the close of 1916 these
will come to Honolulu the nucleus of a per
nanent Pan-Pacihc commercial museum to be

kept secret for the present, the Wa
terhouse Trust Company, through F.
+. Steere, has -losed deal for the
purchase of the Damon property at the
corner of Fort and Hotel streets for
$4,000.

public for a long time as II Is neees-
sary to cut of portion Of ii to widen
and improve Hotel street. The mat
ter of the condemnation has been be-
fore the board of supervisors several
times but so far nothing has been
done. Up to the time Of his death,
Francis ". Damon, the owner, always
refuseo>to sell as the property was a
good income earring investment and
was under long. lease which is now
about to expire. ., "a. D..
The lot has frontage Of ffty-seven
feet in Fort street and is thirty seven
feet deep. Thirteen feet will have to
be taken to straighten out Hotel
street but the improvement will be a
| big one and. really make the corner
more valuable than it is at present.
The price for which the property
was sold will establish the value of it
for condemnation purposes and the
city will have to pay a great deal more
| for it now than if it had been con-
demned several years ago as was the
| intention.
! 1t is understood that the three
stores in the block pay about five hun
bred dollars a month rental and that
the leases expire May 80, 1917.
