MUNICIPAL Dance
HALL PLANNED At
kApIOLANI PARK
Appropriation of $4,000 is
Sought BY Vierra for PaviI-
ion at Public Baths "

A pleasure pavilion and dance hal
! that will be joy to al. Honolulu
will be erected in connection with
the City's public baths if A. K. Vi
ezra, superintendent of parks and
Fairgrounds, carries out the plans
for which he will ask an appropria.
ton of $4,000 from the board OF
supervisors. The building would be
two stories high, with large pavilion,
and short recreation pier adjoining.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 to be used for dredging the
public baths, it having been estimated
that this amount would dredge 10000
square yards. Mr.. Vierra will ask
for an additional appropriation of
$4,000 from the city and county to
be used in laying loan over the coral
rocks after the dredging is done, this
last amount to include plans and
specifications.
An artesian we'll to be sunk in
Kapiolani Park is another improve
ment desired by Mr.. Vierra, for
which he will ask an appropriation of
$4,000. George K. harrison, when he
was superintendent of photography
for the territory, made Investigations
which showed that a 12-inch well
sunk in Kapiolani Park would have
2,000,0 00-gallons water capacity.
The water might be little brack-
ish," said Mr. Vierra, and possibly
not fit for drinking purposes without
some sort of after-treatment, but it
would be just as good as any water
for irrigating purposes, and just what
we need for flushing out the Ia
goons. We are today paying in the
neighborhood of $3.50 year for
water to keep the park green and
the plants properly growing, and to
flush these lagoons. This we'll could
be sunk for $4,000.
Mr.. Vierra would like to know the
will of the supervisors as to the
kind of walks that will be laid in
Kapiolani Park. He says if coral
roads are desired he can put them
in himself, using prison labor, with
out expense to the city and county.
The biggest problem we have now
to consider about Kapiolani Park, +"
said Mr.. Vierra, lis the drainage.
This, however, will not be any prob.
lem when the city and county shall
have finished paving the public thor.
oughfares around the park. We
must, however, have some drainage
center, either into the lagoons or
into the sea. | shall also suggest,
in my report to the finance com.
mittee, that the board take some
steps toward diverting the water that
now floods Kapiolani Park when Pa.
lolo stream is at flood stage
Just what to do with Dole park
is another problem that confronts the
park superintendent. Dole park is
an old rock quarry, and while it
possesses all sorts of park possible.
ties with it's irregular outlines and
it's overhanging cliffs, the face of
the cliff, 200 feet high in places, is
really dangerous. shall suggest
that this park be first made safe
to the public before any steps are
taken for its Identification
The matter of the park superintend-
ency is still unfinished business with
the supervisors. Il wish it could be
settled one way or the other said
Ben Hollinger, wistfully.

PILOT BOY SEEKS
FIRST VACATION IN
10 YEARS; GETS 1T

After a period of 10 years constant
service to the territory of Hawaii,
during which time he has never
taken so much as a week off, John
Hoapili. pilot boy for the port OF
Hilo, has asked for vacation.
At that he has not asked for
much. A month off is his request
after this period of 10 years, and 20
days of the time will be spent as q
member of the End Infantry, Hawaii
National Guard, due soon to go into
encampment on this island.

fact that he has not had vacation
for 10 years. The harbor board has
granted him a full month on pay.

VIOLATING THE LIQUOR. LAW.

ApparenNy the dispensers of booze in Honolulu
do not understand that laws made to be observ
ed strictly.
From time to time the liquor dealers are hauled
up before the license commission for breaking the
law and are punished more or less severely.
Yet they seem always willing to take chance
and must figure that their profits from illicit sales
will more than make up for their losses when pen
allied by being closed up for few days, weeks or
months.
The liquor business fourishes by breaking the
law. 1t will continue to break the law, by deep
ton and boldness until booze is ruled out of Ha'
wall. Just now the sellers of booze are breaking
the law in especially vicious way-that of selling
liquor to soldiers.
1t is already obvious that the law will continue
to be violated and liquor will continue to be sold
to soldiers until Oahu is made "dry"

WELCOMED EVERYWHERE.
The people all along the line gave the
Idaho troops a hearty welcome and
many cheers and wishes for a safe re-
turn. At several places the Red Cross
people were out with lunches. At
Asheville. N. c.. the boys received an
especially good reception. 1t seemed
that the most of the town were there.
The Red Gross girls served a hot
lunch to every man on the train,
which was really small part of the
reception. They showed the north
westerners a bit of the true southern
hospitality. In return most every man
left corner of his heart, or at least
carries warm spot for Asheville.
The men were confined to their
cars the most of the way to Char

in command took no chances on any
one being left behind or getting hurt
attempting to board the train while
in motion.
At Shoshone, Idaho, the men were

So far the boys have been unable
to see much of the town of Charlotte

Charlotte, N. c., Sept. 30.-The first
two sections of the Second Idaho train
arrived in Charlotte today, the first
one at 1880 a. IN. and the second at
4:30 p. M, after very tiresome six
through 10 states and over a lot of
country that to many of the Idahoans
was new and wonderful.
The first section of the troop train
left Boise Monday. Sept. "a, at 10 p.
m. From Nampa they travelled over
the oregon Short Line to Green River,
Wyo. At Green River they were put
onto the main line of the Union Pa
cific, which carried them to Gibbon,
Neb., a few miles east of Kearney.
They were switched off at Gibbon
on a branch through Hastings, Neb.,
and Leavenworth, Kan. to Kansas
City. The Chicago & Alton took them
at Kansas City and carried them
across the state Of Missouri to st.

taken over the Southern railroad
across Illinois and Indiana to New AL
