The war department has opened a
great storage lumber depot at Gllmer-
ton, Va, to meet emergency demands
OF the army for lumber. Through iis
operation II is estimated that yearly
saving Of approximately s250.000 will
be effected.
Whenever army constructors In the
past were required to buy additional
lumber the purchases were made at
yards In the immediate vicinity. The
average increase In price for this ma
terial over the lumber originally pur-
chased for the job would run from 50
TO So per 1000 feet BY purchasing
In large quantities and charging only
for yard maintenance the greater part
OF this excess price IL expected TO be
saved to the government.
A stock OF from twelve to fifteen
million feet OF lumber will he carried,
and II Is estimated that the yearly
turnover will amount TO between fifty
and sixty million feet. A fund OF
$500, 900 has been set aside by the war
department for use by the construc-
ton division Of the army as necessary
working capital for the yard.

HONOLULU, II. John Hamakua,
q native Hawaiian who recently ar
rived in this port in q fishing yawl.
coming from Maalaea Bay. located on
the east side of the Maui Island. has
told a story among the Honolulu ma

named Mark WELLESLEY nightly. smok-
ing the mans cigars and sitting in the
bedchamber where wellesley sleeps.
Hamabua declares that he was Wei

peared, and that the specter fright
ened him SO badly that he fled in
Welleslys yawl from McGregor's
Landing.
"Weliesly is not afraid Of the spec
ter" says Hamakua. 1T came one
night, suddenly appearing in one Of
his big easy-chairs, and it looks like
filmy, white mist. When / first
saw it the thing smoked one OF Wei
beslys best cigars while sitting in
big chair. When the ghost lighted q
match its misty outline was not visi-
he.
u saw it while attending WELLESLEY,
and was so frightened that / could
not move, and the mystic thing looked
1t me. smiled, and sat down in the big
chair and crossed its legs, which
looked like fog, and started to read
some lines on white. mistlike paper
which was in one of the hands.
Il could not escape except by pass
ing by the chair. SO / got back in a
corner and looked on. WELLESLEY sat
on the edge of his couch and gazed
at the ghost for a while. He then
threw a shoe at it. The shoe landed
in the chair with great force-in fact,
it went right thru the foglike outline
OF human being - but the ghosts
face wrinkled in a grin. and when he
laughed there was a noise like the
queaking of a rusty hinge on door.
wellesley said: What's the big
idea, Mr.. Shadow The ghost pointed
with one hand to the mistlike sheets
OF ghostly paper in the other, and re-
piled:
"TVe come here to dictate a story
written by another spirit in the
spirit world. You will have to take it
down, and later spreal it broadcast
to fiction lovers
"Wellesly picked up the mate to the
shoe he had hurled at the specter the
first time and threw it with all his
force at the ghost, but the ghost
wheezed even louder than before in
laughter, and said: Get the pen, ink
and paper from the drawer of that
writing desk and start The ghost
pointed finger at the desk.
"'Can l send my man here for an
other man at the landing who writes
shorthand" WELLESLEY asked the ghost.
NO. the thing said; anybody else
would be afraid of me, SO get to work
"Wellesly seemed to figure there
was nothing else to do to get rid Of
the specter. and so he went to the ia
BILE within two feet Of the ghost. who
sat with his legs crossed in the big
easy-chair.
1t will take several nights In
which to finish this task, and then !
will return no more to bother YOU
the ghost said.
"Weilesly smiled at 1T. and the
ghost smiled at WELLESLEY, and
rushed past them out the door, fled
to McGregors Landing, jumped into
Welleslys yawl. and have sailed thru
the islands for weeks bound for this
port"
