ARMCHAIR ARCHITECTS
GET LAUGH IN HONOLULU

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 10.-All
Hawaii is laughing at the expense Of
the architects bureau at Washing
ton which provided steam heat con-
nections for the United States build
ing, whcih was recently dedicated to
the town of Hilo, Island of Hawaii,
thirty-two miles distant from the &C
tive volcano Of Kiluaea. Not until
the building was completed did Hilo-
ties discover that steam heat connec-
lions were made from the basement
into all the rooms, and they con-
slider this another example of the lack
of knowledge which Washington Of
ficials have of Uncle Sans youngest
territory, particularly concerning eli
mate, for in Hawaii practically every
month is the month of May or June
and there is no winter season at all.
Steam heat has never been used in
the islands. Stoves are a rarity ex-
cept for kitchen service. Years ago
a Washington architect, in preparing
plans for a certain public building in
Hawaii, gave it hip roofs, being de-
signed to shed snow.

BOY FROM ATLIN HEARS
REAL BAND FOR FIRST TlNlE

Mr.. Outlet, a young French Ca
madam, who has lived in the north
for thirty-six years, has just arrived
in the city and has joined the over
seas draft of the 9Th ID. c. o. r..
says the Vancouver World. He had
a silver fox ranch at Atlin and OPP
Grated a mail service a distance Of
eighty-six miles. Pie. Outlet had
never heard a band play until he ar
rived in the city with four compan-
ions this week. The effect upon him
was such that he was almost imme-
diately moved to tears.
The young French Canadian speaks
fourteen different Indian dialects,
in addition to English, French and
German. His father fought with the
French in the Franci-Prussian war
of 1870. Accustomed to outdoor life
and winters where the mercury drops
as low as Sc degrees below zero, Pie.
Guillett feels the heat which has OBJ
tanned in Vancouver during the past
few days. He always acts as guide
for the periodical trips of the r. N.

TWO MEDICAL LAKE ...
BANDITS GET $4,000

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 10.-Two
masked men entered the First Ma
tiopal Bank of Medical Lake, sixteen
miles west of here, shortl, after noon
today, held up two men In the bank
at the point Of revolvers and later
made their escape after scooping
$4,000 in coin and currency into
sacks and driving away in an automo-
bile.
The robbers drove up TO the bank
in a roadster, according to reports,
arriving at a time when most OF the
employees were at lunch. One man
approached Fred Krichoffer, assist
ant cashier, with the request that he
cash a travellers check.
The other robber entered the cage,
revolver drawn. and compelled Ar
thur Neafe, a clerk, the only ether
employe in the bank, to lie down on
the floor. AS soon as Neale obeyed,
Krichoffer was compelled to do like
wise.
The men then leisurely scooped
the banks coins and currency into
a sack. They locked the bank en-
.ployes in the vault before leaving the
Eank. where they were found by 9TH
err officials later. The men departed
in the roadster and were reported to
have started east. The Spokane
country sheriff was notified and he in
turn has telephoned to every town
in Eastern Washington to be on the
lookout for the robbers.
1t was thought that the men might
be heading for Idaho, but it would
be almost impossible to escape the
Gordon that has been placed around
the territory, 1t is said, and reach
that state.

Capt. Isadore Schayer, M. D., who
recently resigned from the Second
South Carolina in order to apply for
a place in the reserve corps, has been
notified Of his appointment to a cap
taincy in the national army. Capt..
Schayer was not expecting better than
lieutenancy, but his previous rec
ord and his ability evidently have Sc
cured for him a position which really
will be but an opening for promotion
upon merit.-Columbia Record.
It seems to US that this is the same
man whom the governor declined to
promote, when he was in line OF
promotion. and placed a civilian ply
sician over him. Seems to US that
we read something about it in the
newspapers. Somehow we feel that
the man who has earned his promo
ton and is competent should be pro-
noted. That sthe way we feel about

MIR. BLEAsE's PoMARII SPEECH.

:: This is time above all others for
our people to be together, and to WORK
for tae soed ,!.1' q li1 tie country, g It is 40
time to be- calling ene another ugly
namessss: ~. e. -
Mr.. Blease fnahis Polnaria speech
used Some adiectlves, that We would
not have used. in speaking OF some
men in high Office We would not use
them about any oAe: We do not be-
lieve in that kind OF argument OF ora
tory. :;
But, Mr.. Blease did not say anything
that was reasonable We should think
in this democratic country OF ours,
where the president and the governor
and all them all the way down are
but servants of the people, that the
right to criticise still existed; in fact,
President Wilson himself has said that
he wanted the people to criticise his
acts.
We should think that a man had a
right still to have had an opinion as
to the policy OF this country engaging
in the war, and because the govern
ment has placed Us in the war should
not have forced him to change that
opinion, and that even in the face OF
that opinion one could be loyal to his
country and his flag. In fact we
hoard DR.. +. Ter who 80 stirred the
sta4e Ct o Defense, in Columbia
the othe, !. al, that up until the
Zimmerman .ote he was pro-Gerran
in his sympathy. That should nos
make him any less loyal to his coun"
try now. .Ir. Blease said that wnlie
he was opposed to the war, and would
have voted against it, he was with MS
country now, and that we should do all
we could to bring the war to speedy
close, and that if we could get hon.
orable peace he was in favor OF peace
now. There is nothing wrong in that
that we can see That is substanti-
ally what Mr. Wilson said in his great
peace speech, and it was a great
sneech. Peace with honor and with
out victory and without annexation
and without indemnity. Why not save

ana 10 gam any territory.
At any rate the sentiment of the
people at Pomar;a was with Mr.. /
Blease almost unanimously In his
hand primary there was one against
his proposition. We were there. We
saw and We heard
The State Council of Defense must
realize that the people of the State
are not very greatly enthusiastic
about this war, or why should it start
out to make campaign to create a
war sentiment among our people. The
people are going to do their duty, and
they are going to stano by their coun-
try right or wrong, but to say that
there was or is any great enthusiasm
about this war among the people Of
not true. 1t is serious business and
the great majority of thoce who have
been drafted to do the fighting are 60
ing to make effort to get out Of it.
They are not clamoring to go TO
France and to the trenches. Those
who are beyond the age and who are
not going to the front and who are
exempt may be great war lords and
talk about what We should do, but it
is the other fellow who is going to
suffer the hardship as "a rule. But,
as we said, they are going to do their
duty and they are going to do it with
out murmuring, but that does not
change their opinion that If it had been
left to them they would have remain
ed out of it if they could.
Mr.. Blease said another thing at Po-
maria which we believe, and it was
that Mr.. Wilson'S reelection was due
largely to the belief on the part of
the people that Wilson would keep
US out Of war. Maybe he could not.
At any rate he did not.
Mr.. Coker will find that there was
a very strong sentiment in this State
against war. They are not saying
anything, because we are in it, and
it can do no good to talk about what
they did favor. They are going to do
their duty faithfully and well and they
are lust as. true to their country as
some who are talking great deal
more. AS we said at the beginning
this is a time for US to get together
and not to talk about and abuse one
another. And abuse will not change
any opinions that were already fornl-

Appallachian highway. The road is
good as roads go in this county. Much
better than the road between New

improvement over what it was before
the people at Whitmire and along
the way cooperated with Supervisor

passaNe road out of it. There are hills
that should be taken down and fills
that should be made And, Of course,
the road should be wideued. The
road in many places has had a good
top dressing and the places that here
tofore after q little rain and all
shnoash the winter were almost i'm
passable by even a buggy, are now
GOOD stretches Of road all the year
round. But it needs widening and
grading and the Ills made and the
