merely deluding themselves.

1t has been suggested by local men

that the logical course to be followed
here would be to have a general rail-

all railroad business, passenger and

as the representative Of the govern.

done, it would of itself do away with

The story starts where Fred Harri-

the rental of the lodge hall in the

societies. particularly the Hermann's

The comedy, or tragedy, of the plot
appears when 1t Is maze known that

The trustees of the Honolulu Mystic
