.HIL0 WANTS BEAVERS s
TO vlSlT'SEC0ND CITY

Now that Ii is settled that the Port
land baseball team is coming to Ho'
nolulu next month II is about time
that some of the baseball lovers Of
Hilo get busy on a scheme to have
the big Coast league men come to this
city and play some exhibition games,
is how the Hawaii Herald of Hilo sizes
up the big sport event. There will be
enough of the Portlanders in the party
to make two teams and that would give
us all an opportunity TO see some really
frstclass baseball. ~. .o .. t...,, g
The Portlanders would not ask fol
much money, and it seems probable
that as long as they could get some
coin to pay their volcano trip expen.
SEES, they would be satisfied. H..
II will be grand opportunity to
g,t some real ball players to visit
Hilo and to play here, People who
have only seen the ordinary variety
of ball as played among the LOCAL mines
can have no idea of what game put
up by the mainland teams is like. II
is just one concerted act right through
and the excitement and interest is well
maintained from start to finish. BY
all means, let US see the Portlanders il
action in Hilo.

harbor commissioners, as was stated at
the meeting of the board yesterday az
ternoon, ID up against IL for funds and
can see no possible way at present Of
going ahead with the work,
The harbor fund for the island Of
Hawaii is exhausted. Work on the ISL
and that is almost imperative cannot
be done for the reason tLat there is
no money TO pay the bills
The only hope lay in the Governor
contingent fund--but the Governor has
aatiy refused 20 come to the aid Of
Hilo Ind itke board by providing the
whertwitHal for the continuation Of
the work Of making borings to ascer-
tain the practicability of the proposed
construction Of three slips near Kuhio

A letter from Secretary Deyo Of the
Hilo board of trade was read ut the
meeting, strongly urging that the work
be not discontinued. The matter was
discussed but the board could see no
prospect Of going ahead until new
appropriation is made available by the
legislature, and the board Of trade Of

valry i likely to be keener from this

have completed excellent tracks inside
their football stadiums and are eager
TO stage the I. @. A. A. A. A. games.
Cornell is already sounding sentiment
among the various colleges and institu,
tons Of the association and will offer
excellent inducements in the way of a
fast track and field for the competitors,
perfect accommodations for the spec
tators and up.to-date training quarters
for the athletes during their stay at
Ithaca, New York.
The athletic facilities at Schoellkopf
Field are said to be equal to any in the
country, the quarter-mile track being
thirty feet wide on the straightaway
with vaulting, jumping and weight pits
well situated on the inleld. Many clos'
followers Of college athletics are of tho
opinion that change Of scene for the

BOAT CLUBS FAVOR
HARBOR DOARDIDEA
Kewalo Channel, Proposed BY
Commissioners, Probably Save
80 Local Organizations /

Great interest is being manifested
by the various Honolulu boat clubs in
the recent proposal Of the harbor com.
mission TO have channel dredued
along Kewalo water frontage.
according to F. schnack, president
Of the Myrtle Boat Club, the chief req
son for this interest on the part Of the
boat houses is that II has for some
time been rumoFed that the Territory
desires TO use the locations they are
now on for docking and wharfage facil-
ties, in which event the lighthouses
would be required to leave and seek
other locations.
This would be the. deathblow Of the
clubs and Of barge and boat racing
in Honolulu, for there are no other
convenient and suitable locations avail
able near Honolulu.
Myrtles Favor Project t
The Myrtle Boat Club, the oldest
one in the Islands, having been in ex-
istence thirty-four years, and its many
supporters and friends have no desire
to see the club disorganiEed and its
members dispersed. Feeling that their
locations will sooner or later be desired
and taken by the Territory, the clubs
see in this proposal of the harbor com.
mission the only means Of keeping
themselves alive. III .tHF 4
The harbor commission resolution,
as it stands at the present time, calls
for various surveys to be made of chan.
nels 100 and $50 feet wide and three,
seven and twenty feet deep, respective.
ly, at low water mark, so as to secure
figures as to probable costs and as to
yardage of soil obtainable from these
different widths and depths for the
filing of the low Kewalo lands. :.
Mile and Quarter Stretch
IL is proposed to have this channel
extend from the waikiki end Of Fort
Armstrong, which stands at the harbor
entrance, Waikikiward to point near
Ward Street. distance of one and q
quarter miles II
If this channel is authorized by the
next legislature and promenade walk

templated along Waikiki Beach, it will

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
A Place Of R.fnz.
TO THEIR COUNTRY

The brewers of the United States
are under great obligation to Presi-
dent Wilson The temperance senti-
ment of the country had achieved q
magnificent victory. The house Of
representatives had passed over
whelmingly a national prohibition
amendment to the food conservation
bill. The senate committee had made
1t more stringent and the prospect
was that 1t would pass the senate.
The liquor interests were apparent
ly losing their last battle. The moral
sentiment Of the nation was elated
over the greatest enemy of the hu-
man race; but at this critical period
for the saloons they called upon the
president OF the United States. They
knew where he stood by his attitude
on the enforcement of the excise law
in the District of Columbia. His ap-
pOintees on the excise board there
and the manner In which they have ex-
ecuted the law have always been ac-
ceptable to the saloons and never to
the anti-saloon societies.
In this new crisis he sent for Sen
ator Martin of Virginia, the demo-
cratic leader in the senate, and told
him that such provisions might de-
lay the passage of the food bill and
that it ought to be cut out Of the
measure. If the president had thrown
his powerful influence for the prohi-
bition amendment the bill would have
passed just as soon as It viii now. In
spired by his leadership, the moral
influences of the country would have
been irresistible. A word from him
would have made national prohibition
assured beyond q doubt- Instead OF
giving that word TO the mothers of
America he gave it to the brewers.
Senator Martin and his democrcat-
&c followers, so accustomed to taking
orders from the White Houshe agreed
TO the betrayal of the prohibition fore
es of the country. The cause Of tenn
perance has received q terrible blow
from the head Of the nation The
housewife Is being urged to econo-
mize and the president has even ask
ed that he be permitted to prescribe q
daily ration of food for the people.
He would have power TO limit what
we eat, but at the same time demands
that the breweries be permitted to
use the food thus saved, in the manu-
facture of their brew
This is the most shameful chapter
written IN American history since
the days of James Buchanan. During
mis- administration the White House
was the refuge of the slave power.
Now 1t is made the refuge OF a great
er evil, the liquor traffic--Salina
