 READY FOR NEXT YEAR

Satisfactory progress is being made on the Aux Bay-Tee Harbor section of Glacier Highway, accord ing to l.. F. Waffle, district super intcndent of roads for the Bureau of Public Roads. MT. Waffle went over the section this week and in spected the construction work being dcne by Seims X Carlson. con tractors.
 But little clearing remains. to be done on the route, said Supt. Waffle. There has been some grading done and rock excavation is moving ahead as well as could be expected. The grading will be entirely completed, it is believed, before the present working seasons ends and some sur facing done. The entire surfacing will be completed before the auto traffic begins next year and the highway opened to traffic the entire distance to Tee Harbor.
 The Aux Bay-Tee Harbor section, said Supt Vaille will be the finest stretch of road yet constructed in the Territory. It is a scenic route without peer and will undoubtedly prove a great attraction to tourists as well as be of material benefit to local residents.

Automobile Thefts in
 Honolulu Are Numerous

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 4.-The theft and consequent destruction of automobiles in Honolulu has become SO frequent that the three leading insurance agencies have threatened to withdraw entirely from insuring automobiles or to place the rate al practically a prohibitive level unless immediate steps are taken to curb the thcft3.

The belief has been expressed that one gang is responsi blc for most of the thefts.
