TWO DISTRICTS
ARE CREATED FOR
IMPROVEMENTS
Bishop Street to Be Extended,
Hotel Street to Be Widened
, BY New Projects

/ Two big Improvement districts, one
! the extension and paving. OF Bishoi
street from King to the waterfront
and the other the widening of the
waikiki side of Fort street at Hotel
were inaugurated at the meeting OF
| the board OF supervisors last night.
The former was brought about by
/ the rejection or the proposed paving
OF Bishop street from King to Queen
by protests signed by 80 per cent OF
the property holders. Their reason
for protesting was because they be
lieve il should not be done until the
street is opened no TO the Waterfront
AS a result Arnold moved that the
| city and county engineer Immediately
proceed to determine what property
holders are affected on Bishop street
from King TO the waterfront and re-
port TO the board -.
In regard to the protests, Arnold
severely scored the big interests who
were the principal protestants. -.
1T seems strange that the biggest
firms in the city can not get together
and help improve a street when it is
so badly needed" he said, and the
board ought to go on record as sp-
posed TO all improvements for Bishop
street The Mahuka site is valuable
property but II will never increase in
value until the streets surrounding Il
are improved. Right now it is not
the wealthy man who suffers by the
lack Of paving, but the poor fellows
who use Bishop street. II could very
ed u hn tn CkH nd
have the rest of the work done when
the extension is made. Ii we are going
to extend Bishop street, the sooner We
get started the better, as 1t VIII prob
ably necessitate the passage of a bill
through the legislature to obtain part
of the land" Arnold added.
Larsen opposed the extension You
probably do not know, but / do, be-
cause have been told that the Davies
warehouse is to be torn down and an
other building erected and move we
wait" he said. .s-. ..s4
Yes, know all about that" Ar
mold said, "and for that reason we
must hurry in drawing the plans of
the new buildings, for, If it Is shown
that street extension is proposed,
the plans will be made accordingly"
Hotel Street Taken Up
The next business considered was
the public hearing on Hotel street.
Arnold's request that the hearing be
postponed until next Tuesday as the
Brewer estate wanted the waikiki side
of Fort street videned in conjunction
with the widening of Hotel. Tuesday
they will bring in a report as to what
they will do" Arnold said. ct has
been figured that the new work will
cost approximately $4,000. It is,
however. absolutely impossible to have.
both projects in one Improvement.
I'VE simply have not the money for
it." he said. "In widening Hotel we
have done what other boards have
tried 10 years to do. However, feel
that the work should be done and,
therefore, let us work it up to the
public hearing and assessment roll and
when our successors take office In
July they can finish 1t. 1t will give
them start which was more than
We had"

The next meeting of the board of

evening at 1870 O'Clock. IL 81. -: ".
Following an announcement by the
finance committee that money was
available, the board of supervisors

Supervisor Logan suggested that

Advertising Signs Not Allowed in The
National Forests.

Leavenworth, August "a (l9l7):
Forest Supervisor Sylvester states that
one of the rules Of the Secretary Of
Agriculture which appears to be not
we'll enough known, is that no adver-
Using signs may be posted in the
National Forests. Some guide signs
are essential for the convenience Of the
travelling public, and these are being
erected by the Forest Service itself as
fast as funds are available.
The rangers have instructions to tear
down advertising signs and hundreds
have been removed, especially along
Blewett Pass Road. but the habit is
too strongly fixed in the mind OF the
American business man and new ones
are constantly being nailed up along
the better travelled roads. The dis
figuring signboards which mar the
approaches to cities are more than ever
out OF place in the woods and noun
tains. Not only do the crude signs oil
the bill poster detract from the beauty
Of the great out-of- doors, but such
occupancy Of public lands is trespass.
The National Forests are the play
grounds OF the American people.
Everyone should help to preserve their
beauty not only from FIRE but from the
sign poster and the camper who leaves
his camp Uttered with papers and
lunch boxes.

CHINESE PHEASANTS
FOR CHILEAN COUNTY
Washington First State to Propagate
Game and Show Birds by Convict
Labor Other States Following
Our Lead

The initial shipment Of Chinese
pheasants from the new State Game
Farm now in course Of construction at
Walla Walls is to be sent to Chelan
County within a short time according
to announcement made by State Game
Warden L. H Darwin. The birds are
said to be a splendid looking lot and
will be liberated by the County Game
Warden in different places insuring
them the largest amount OF protection
for the ensuing few months.
The 1917 session Of the Legislature
made an appropriation Of $4,000 for
the establishment of Game Farm at
the State Penitentiary at Walla Walla
under the direction Of L. H. Darwin,
State Fish Commissioner and State
Game Warden. Work was commenced
in the early part of April and is going
forward steadily at this time. All OF
the work, with the exception OF that
performed by the Superintendent and
one carpenter foreman, who was en-
gagged for a short time, is being done
By inmates labor.
The State Board OF Control has
turned over forty acre plot of ground
belonging to TIE State Penitentiary for
the use Of the Game Farm. The city
Of Walla Walla is donating the water
free, and the farm will be beautified
and ornamented, and the front portion
will be converted into kind OF park,
where the band, composed of inmates
Of the penitentiary, can give concerts
on occasions. Superintendent Drum
OF the penitentiary is actively assisting
in the establishment OF the farm.
Already a great number of pens have
been constructed, where various kinds
Of pheasants, principally Chinese, are
being propagated. 1t is the intention
in time to propagate not only game
birds, but show birds for the various
parks OF the State, and game animals
as we'll. While the principal effort
will be centered on Chinese pheasants
for several years, other varities will be
Dropagated, such as Silvers, Goldens,
Reeves. Prince of Wales, Mongolians,
etc. 1t is hoped to distribute 1000
Chinese pheasants from the farm this
year and more than this number next
year.
Washington sportsmen are fortunate
in having an opportunity to have con-
vict labor employed in game propa-
CATION. This saves them thousands
upon thousands OF dollars. Also it in
sures steady replenishment OF the
supply. This is the first state in the
Union to undertake game propagation
by convict labor, but several other
states are said TO be preparing to follow
the example.

NO VOTE IN SENATE ON
PRESIDENTS PEACE NOTE
Hitchcock Resolution Will Come Up
for Further Debate Today.

Washington, Jan. 4-The note to
the belligerent powers proposing a
discussion of peace terms was de-
bated again today in the senate but
two hours of attack and defense failed
to bring to a vote to the Hitchcock
resolution endorsing President Will
sons action in sending it. The reso-
luton will come up again tomorrow
with a prospect of further anita gonis-
tic speeches by senator's.
An effort by Senator Hitchcock to
secure unanimous consent for a vote
late tomorrow failed on objection of
Senator Brandegee. During parlia-
mentary manoeuvering that followed
the resolution. Senator Works gained
the floor to make a four hours pre-
pared valedictory speech.
Before Senator Works began, how
ever, Senator Stone. chairman of the
foreign relations committee, with
whom President Wilson consulted two
days ago, spoke briefly. saying that
news had gone forth to the world that
the presidents note was under dis
cussion and that the senate should
consider and act upon it at once. Sen
ator Gallinger, the republican leader,
replied with a warning that any at
<empt to force action would not meet
with approval. After listening to
Senator Works for about two hours,
the senate recessed until tomorrow,
when he will resume. The vote on
the Hitchcock resolution cannot come
up at least until he concludes.
