The laueaMilitGry Camp

\ UESTERDAYS ADVERTISER contained q
y full statement by the Trustees OF the Kilauea
Military Camp setting forth the origin location
and status of the camp, how to get there, what ii
costs and what there is TO be seen in the vicinity
The camp consists Of fifty acres at an elevation
fof 1000 feet and of buildings which will accommo-
date 400 men with sleeping, eating and assembly
quarters or 800 men II sleeping tents are also
used A separate building is provided for the use
lof the officers. E&R ff.t
The camp is located in the immediate vicinity
of the Volcano of Kilauea about mile from the
Volcano House. at the junction OF the belt auto
road around the island and the trails which lead
to Mauna Loa, Maunakea and across the island.
1t is the center of section of the country where
more volcanic wonders tree ferns, giant trees and
tropical scenery are to be found than in any other
part of the islands, of the world for that matter
The camp has been built without any fuss or
feathers entirely at the private expense of the
people and business concerns Of the island of Ha
wall for the use of the Nationd Guard OF Hawaii
as camp and field maneuver station; and of the
members Of the regular army as recreation and
health resort. =
No charge OF any kind is made for its use by
either the guard or the regulars. a .@
The establishment is the manifestation of
SpHlt vi community COOpeIduOn support OF the
principle of preparedness" and the desire to pro-
mote the organization, welfare and comfort Of the
National Guard who belong here; and the regular
army, whose members are here, in one sense, as
our guests. &M..:.
1t is doubted if anywhere in the entire United
States as generous spirit, SO literally expressed
has been shown toward the army, as has found ex
preston in the Kilauea Military Camp.
The present intensely active and extremely in
teresting state of the Volcano renders this a
specially good time to make use of the camp
The transportation companies aref quoting
special low rates to military organizations and the
free use OF the Hilo Armory is given them for
camping purposes, during the time they may, want
to stay over in Hio. 5.+.
The Trustees have issued folder giving full
information about the camp, answering nearly
every question that can be asked concerning it.
Copies Of the folder and other information can be
secured from l.. W. de Wis Norton, at the rooms
of the Hawaii Promotion. Committeelin the Young
Hotel, in Honolulu. }aH #s%

The Country Store

TSHE country store, especially in the plantation
i districts, renders the community it serves high
grade, up-to-date service, service always little
better than the patronage it receives warrants.
This development is one of the surprises that
greets the casual stranger, for it will be found that
goods of the latest design are offered in many Of
these out-of- the-way establishments at prices
which cannot be duplicated by any city merchant.
The merchants keep, at the planters very door,
about all the good things the and the mar
ket affords All everyday requirements can be
taken care Of at a moments notice Drygoods and
grocery stocks are equal in point of variety to any
ordinary demand. Tools and hardware are usual
ly cheaper These stores carry anything for
which there is demand and instead of being
stocked up with thread bare Anticipated merchan-
disc, very often unload their dead" stock on the
city buyers. "-
Cheaper prices for fresher, newer goods is a
uniform point of difference in favor Of the usual
Of live country plantation stores in Hawaii.
Rents lower than the city merchant has to pay,
and running expenses less SO that these advan-
tages more than compensate for the higher freights
the country merchant has to pay-and the country
consumer benefits. 10y.

A proposal is afoot to enact legislation to esta-
blish children's Fairgrounds throughout the Ter
ritory, with territorial appropriation of $1,000 a
year to maintain them. The. idea of territorial
aid to the free Fairgrounds is excellent, but il
ought to strike the ones responsible for the pro-
posed legislation that chidren's Fairgrounds OUT
side of Honolulu and possibly HiIo are quite un-
necessary. The free playground idea is intended
to be applied in urban districts where there is no
place forsthe children OF the eongested sections ex-
cept in the streets. Only in Honolulu does such
condition exist except possibly in IIilo. If the
idea is to secure a territorial appropriation in orr
der that a share of it may be spent where it is
needed and the rest of it spent where it is not
needed the bill should be sidetracked The terri
torial scheme appears to be based on the SUPPOSE
ton that the Legislature would not vote for Ho-
nolulu Fairgrounds alone and that it is better to
get what is needed for Honolulu even at a cost, Of
wasting money elsewhere. Surely a way could
be worked out of getting for this city what we need
and voting the other islands proportionate
amount for something really necessary. .m

 Beginning in 1898 the Dago Kid made annual pilgrimages into the Yukon country for thirteen consecu tive years. Seven years ago this coming spring he failed to show ur and his non-appearance was noted especially along the line of the White Pass railway over which he invar iably walked into the interior in the spring and out again in the fall When a second spring came and WCllL dlIu tuC lNlt dlu uOJ olOW uP one paper in the interior advertised for him-not that he was wanted for anything or that anybody had any interest in him further than he was looked upon as a time-honored insti tuition in the country. But the Dagc Kid remained lost to the interior The ties which he had worn out or the White Pass railroad were re placed by new ones and he was practically forgotten after being mourned as lost for seven years.
 But was he lost? Not much.
 A former Yukoner having busi ness aboard the steamer Jefferson while she was loading freight at tne Douglas dock last night, experienced a hark-frpm-the-tomb sensation when on entering the social hall the first person he met was the Dago Kid now a member of the steamers stewards crew and resplendant in white coat and with his hair neat ly parted in the middle.

YUKON ENGINEER GOES OUT

DOUGLAS, Dec. 3.-On the steam CT Jefferson last night bound for Se- attle were Rufus Buck and Lee Steel, both old-time Yukoners al though the former had not been there for ten years previous to the past season. MT. Buck is civil engineer and his work the past sea son has been that of constructing ditch for the Alaska Dome Min ing Company operating placer ground in the Fortymile district southwest of Dawson. Although that portion of the Yukon has been worked by primitive methods for the past 28 years, it has always yielded good results and now that water has been taken to the ground, much better results are anticipated in future years. Steel owned large amount of the ground and J. s. Soderburg, a Seattle capitalist, became inter- ested with him and furnished the money for the construction of the ditch, five and one-half miles of which was completed this year. Buck is the engineer who constructed the first ditch for the Guggenheims at Dawson when water was brought from the Twelvemile river to what was known as "The Potato Patch" group of claims back of Dawson After leaving the north Buck en- gagged in the city work in Seattle for years and until returning to the Yukon last summer.
