Material for the construction of tha

mapped out by the PoulBen company

Siberia yesterday. Tho mast is to bo
430 feet high and will bo erected at
Kaueoho bay, part of the timbers be
ing rushed over yesterday.
Expert Elwell, of the Poulsen com
pany, who arrived some llttio tlmo
ago to look over the field here, has
decided that Ktjncohe would bo a
good place' to try out tho initial sta
tion and has made all arrangements
for erecting the big mast.
When the Siberia came alongside
and docked yesterday hundreds of
pieces of cut timber were taken out
of her and, piled on tho dock. Then
camo queer-shaped pieces of, iron.
When these pieces aro put together
they will form a mast 430 feet high
from which tho wireless messages
will bo flashed.
Although Elwell was not available
this morning It is believed that tho
sending apparatus will not bo install

"Absalom," tho houn' dawg of Ho
nolulu, has concluded arrangements
whereby his famo will go echoing
rlown to posterity. Ho has Just re
turned from a two weeks' stay at
Pearl City, whoro ho has boon giving
sittings to tho noted painter of nnl
rials, John W. Thompson, who" has
reproduced his melancholy lineaments
on canvas with such fidelity as to
bilng tears to tho eyes of those who
claim friendship for tho dog "Alira
lorn." "Absalom's" willingness to poso for
a portrait Is considered somewhat un
usual, Inasmuch as only a few weeks
ago ho apparontly displayed a con
tempt for art by stalking into Gur-
roy's and howling dismally when con
fronted by Torroy's famous picture of
ho rough riding big stick wicldcr who
recently cast his lint into tho ring'
and has boon prancing about It sniff

In thei ahsonco of any expression'
from "Absalom" it is now gonornlly!
boJioved that his howl of Indignation
vni not directed toward art- as ox-
i other to tho subject. At any ra.o
''Al3alom" has had his portrait limned

Sinco returning to Honolulu "Abri

drawbacks, for ho has acquired n

from ills patron's tahlo. In tho m.in
rer of sycophants ho Is fond of pick

Uion threatened with a licking, files
to "Absalom" for protection.
For tho first few days after acquir
