TOO MUCH RIDING.

The Arizona troops that three
weeks ago went thru town on their
way to Funston are going thru again
on their way to California After a
few weeks of training they will go
thru again to the Atlantic coast. 1t
may be efficiency, but to the layman
1t would seem cheaper to have taken
them to California in the first place
or from Funston to have taken them
east instead OF west. However, the
boys are enjoying the ride.

LAUNCHED
Local Bankers Make Prepara-
tons for Second Liberty
Bond Subscriptions; $4,000
Subscribers in Hawaii are
Desired

Plans for the big second Liberty
loan campaign in the Hawaiian
islands, which is due to open about
October l are rapidly taking shape
and a conference between local bank
ers and financial men is being held
this Afternoon to approve of the plan
Of operating the coming drive along
broad lines. While no appointments
have yet been made from Washington,
D. c. as to the men who will form
the advisory council of the campaign
committee, word is expected here to-
night or tomorrow. AS soon as it is
received actual preparations for the
drive will Immediately get under way.
1t is proposed to form large COM
mittee under the advisory council, en-
bracing representatives from the
banks, trust companies, brokers, in
surance houses, the territorial govern
ment, the sugar and pineapple produ-
GERS, wholesale and retail merchants,
transportation men, manufacturers,
labor interests, Japanese, Chinese and
Portuguese colonies, and the women
of the islands. This committee will
act directly under the advisory coun-
Gil which will be officially appointed
by the Secretary of the Treasury

Local bankers and financial men
have heartily approved OF the new plan
under which it is figured that a great
many more citizens will become in

Plan To Use Cane
Tops LnMakingof
Neu,s Print Paper

The Hawaiian islands may yet save
the United States from the threaten
ing news print paper shortage and
incidentally inaugurate new industry,
that of using sugar cane tops for the
making of news print paper The
Olaa Sugar Company has just for,
warded to a party Of chemists and
experimenters in Boston a supply OF
sugar cane leaves for their work
Some time ago a load of bagasse and
cane tops was sent forward, but the
experimenters have now asked for the
leaves and seem confident of ultimate
success.
1t is claimed that paper suitable for
newspaper publications can be manu-
featured out of the unused tops of
the cane stalk. The leaves also have
the qualities necessary for paper-mak-
ing, it is understood While the ex-
perimenters in their letter would not
say whether they had succeeded in
making paper ofNa suitable kind, the
tone of the letter was optimistic, so
much so that it appears as if they
were positively confident of doing
what they had set out 10 do. Their
experiment is being watched with in.
terest throughout the islands. for
should it prove successful, quite a
business may be established in this
particular line. ..- -.

A. S. CANTIN AS
CITY ENGINEER
Report is Understanding Has
Been Reached for Two Re-
publican Supervisors to Line
Up With Bourbon Members

Settlement of the question of the
appointment of heads Of city depart
ments. one which has kept Mayor
Joseph J. Fern and the new board of
supervisors at loggerheads since they
came into office, may pc reached TO-
night at the meeting of the beard and,
should it come to happy conclusion,
A. s. Cantin, manager of the Hawaiian
Dredging Co., will probably be city
engineer His is the latest name to
be brought up in connection with the
position now occupied BY George NJ.
Collins, whose resignation takes eff
feet the first of the month.
Rumors were in circulation today
that two of the Republican members
of the board had decided to call a
truce and, providing the mayor agreed
to their man for the job, they would
vote with the two Democratic men,
bers of the board in sustaining MS
honor's nominees for ether positions
to be filled.
In fact, it is admitted that a meet
ing was held down town Sunday be-
tween the interested parties and a
general understanding arrived at
whereby the two Republicans on the
board would vote with the two Demo
Gratis, thus constituting a majority.
The substance of the agreement, it is
understood, was that II Mayor Fern
nominated A. S. Cantin for the post
of city and county engineer these four
members of the board would approve
of the nomination. After that the
mayor could nominate whomever h.
pleased for the post OF assistant engi-
neer, three of the road overseers, the
superintendent of water works, super
intendent of public building and super
intendent Of the garbage department,
and these same. four would approve
them and settle. the long standing
dispute between the civic head and
the board. ..,
This plan is not expected to meet
with the approval of the other three
Republicans on the board, but as they
would be in the minority their pro-
tests would carry no weight.
Mayor Fern denied this afternoon
that he had been party to any such
plan but during the dental wanted to
know where he got off at" Il he nom
mated a Republican for the post of
city engineer and then the two Repuh-
licans in the plan refused to play us
and pass his other nominations.
E. A. Mott-Smfth admitted that the
subject had been discussed in his
office last Sunday afternoon. Il made
my position plain. l don't want a
politician in the position. What |
want is a good man there" That was
all he would say. However, he re-
fused to deny that a general under.
standing had been arrived at to settle
the long vexing question of appoint
ments.
