Million Dollar Job


More details relative to the important
government work which takes W. IT.
Spalding Of the Spalding Construction
Company to France and mention, Of
which was made in The Advertiser
some weeks since, have been received
from the mainland. II was learned
some time since that he was to go and
take charge of government building,
representing the Boston firm which had
secured the contract. He expects to re.
turn to Honolulu some months hence.
When the news was published in Ho-
nolulu first II was not known that the
work contemplated was nearly so large
as it now appears that it win prove
to be. The following article, publish.
ed under a Washington date line in
the Chicago Tribune from staff cor.
respondent tells Of the work ahead:
Contract for the construction of an
immense ordnance depot and arsenal,
which is to be established in connection
with the overseas base for American
forces, has been awarded to Boston
firm. 49,"
Payment for the work will be on the
basis of cost plus 10 percent. 1t is ex.
peeted that the total expenditure will
be well over $lO0,000,000. Lathes and
other special machinery for the arsenal
are already being delivered AMI the
cost Of this equipment alone is estimat
ed at 100000. The site cannot be
mentioned.
Plan, Vast Rail System
= II may be said. however. that in con.
neetiOn with this construction more
than 1000 miles Of standard gauge rail
way will be built leading from this
depot to the sector Of front assigned
organizations recruited largely from the
Pennsylvania railroad Is staff and head
ed by experts from that company are
now in France preparing for the inau.
guration Of the work. ~. '.s,
The objection Of the French official
commission recently in this country pre-.
vented the awarding of these contracts
to French firms. II was the original
plan of the war DEPARTMENT to have
the work done by French firms but
they were told plainly that the French
government would prefer that not a
single man be Withdrawn from French
Industries. as this would mean the sub.
traction of Just that amount of support
from the fighting forces.
10000 Workmen Listed ,t
- II was therefore determined to trans,
port the large number Of workmen ne.
cessary from the United States and not
less than 10000 have been listed for
the purpose. All raw materials and
machinery win be sent from America.
II Is learned that in arranging for
site for the overseas base the United
States obtained from the French gov.
eminent. at the same time formal
lease on large tract of land immedi-
ately adiaeent to the port selected.
For the duration of the war, there.
fore, the United States will have alb,
solute jurisdiction over substantial
section Of French territory. The terms
Of the lease call for nominal rental.

Business Is Better

INQUIRY at the various stores in Honolulu to-

sion of opinion that the Soldier trade" has grown
greatly during the past few months. Further in
quiry will reveal the fact that the recent growth
began shortly after the passage of the Army Bill,
which made it illegal to sell intoxicants to men
in the uniform of the army or navy. Partial pro-
libition has done it. The Legitimate businesses
are getting the surplus which formerly went to
the purchase OF booze. ..'.
Honolulu has only been getting portion OF the
benefit which other places where general prohibit
tion is in force have been getting The restric-
tons which have been placed upon portion of
the community have made better business. If the
prohibition had been more general, business would
have been that much better. If the prohibition
had been absolute, business would have been bet
ter still
Prohibition helps business. That has been
demonstrated time after time and in city after city.
Now Honolulu has had little lesson along this
line and the effect ought to be felt when Honolulu
business men have their next opportunity to vote
on the question OF prohibition for Hawaii

Militia Will Play
Cottage Grove Sat.

The Cottage Grove high school
team which defeated the Ashland
high school last night will return to
this city Saturday after playing two
games down the valley, and will meet
the fast militia team on the armory
floor. The militia boys are conf
dent of giving the Willamette valley
bunch better game than did the
high school, and those who are fa-
miliar with the really speedy organ
ization which the soldier boys have
developed predict a defeat for the
visitors. The game will be preceded
by preliminary between the second
teams of the militia and high school,
which will start at 1870 sharp. The
main event will commence at 8:15.
Around Millard Grubb, lightning
forward, and Climax Delsman, who
made such record with the high
school team last year, the militia
have built up a strong team. They
are entitled to the backing of the
basketball fans of the city.
