Fine Building will
Be Erected On
Fort Street Corner

Important building operations are to
start during the present month at the
corner of Fort and Hotel Streets on
what is known as the Campbell proper
ty. The old hui'diug is to be demOlish-
ed and a fine, new, modern, business
building is to be erected. At the same
time the widening of Hotel street at
that point can go on.
Tenants of the Campbell property
have been given two weeks to move.
At the end Of that time the work of
dcmolishing the old building is to be
started. While u was known that i'm
provement of the eorpcr was contem
plated the notification TO vaCate was not
entirely expected, it having been under
stood that the work would not start
so soon, There wes an immediate sour
rying around by the tenants to secure
other quarters. II is understood, also,
that, in some instances, arrangements
have already been made for accommoda.
tions in the new building when it is
completed. ,..
The property which is TO be improved
has fine frontage on Fort Street and
extends down Hotel Street to the
Fashion saloon. Plans have not yet
been made public but it is said that
they contemplate the erection Of three
story building with faces on both
streets. On Fort Street there are to be
two stores and others will face on
Hotel. The Hub clothing store is to
have store room with frontage of
forty feet. Pending the completion of
the new building the Hub will occupy
n store at Fort and Beretania Streets.
The firm Of Emory & Webb is to he
the architects for this work which is to
be pushed forward rapidly.

pany, Third Battalion, Signal Corps, a

accompanied this one, indicating that
an exchange of units was to be accom-

STAGE SUNDAY GAMES

HILO, June ll-There was rather n
curious contrast in the two games
played at Mooheau Park Sunday by the
clubs of the Hilo Baseball League. In
the first game, between the Y. NJ. L.,
and the N. G. H., the first part of the
games were free and easy, so to speak,
while each team shut out the other
in the last half of the game.
But this was changed in the second
game of the dav, between the II. G. R.,
and the }. A. c., for in this game the
Railroaders scored in the first half,
while the japanese scored only in the
second half. This game was a most ex'
citing one, for the Railroad boys held
the japanese at 3 to 0, until the seventh
inning, when the japanese made four
runs, The final score was, Hawaii
