The Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Company has signed a contract with the United States , government, through Captain Dtwell, to transport a minimum of thousand tons of crushed rock from the quarry at Mbiliilii to the wharf at the foot of Kekauanaoa street, and has about finished laying two thousand feet of new track at Moiliilii and through South street and from Allen street down street to the wharf, over which to handle the new traffic. The cars for the work are regular flat cars, and the .contract will take a very long time for fulfilment, as it is thought that not more than one hundred and twenty tons of crushed rock will be gotten out' by the crusher daily. The contract for the machinerr at the vksnrr vim n u is iu uc ucauicui is yet to be figured oat. This will aeu oaite aa item of expense and a deal f labor if the crushed rock is all moved br hand.

J- Campbell that they endorse Joseph S. Kunewa for the position of Tax Assessor of Maul. Before the committee had met it was evident that no matter how much they taight have wished to endorse the choice of the Treasurer It .was certain they would not do so on account of the strong opposition that has oped. Mad citizens are a unit In their belief that there are good, honest, capable men who could fill the office to the entire satisfaction of all but of the candidates who have applied A resolution was Introduced and unanimously carried to that effect. Those endorsed are W. A. Kay, S. KeiUnot and L. M. Baldwin. The committee endorsed the duties as its chief executive." If this power of suspension of judgment is remarkable in the exercise of judicial duties, it is all the more re markable in the exercise of executive duties. In the halls of justice there is whaVf here aad at Pearl Harbor, soa c'au precision in procedure, another in orderlv sequence, and each matter is taken up and considered carefully and deliberately by itself. Xo one would think of trying to hurry the judges. The decision is never ques tioned that is, in court. Behearings are difficult to get and involve a long procedure. Decisions have a fatal finality about them. In the executive office, on the other The County Executive Committee of , hand, matters do not come in one bv the Republican party held a meetlnsf0ne, nor in any regular order, nor in Wednesday as is their custom. conformity with any particular The matter of the greatest interest i dtlre Th"ev. come in twos and thTee3j to the members of the party was thejn sixes i sevens, and sometimes by at one time. There is nothing essentially fatal about a final decision in every case. Behearings are easy to get. But perhaps the greatest difference between the judicial and executive positions lies in the fact that the executive position embraces a very much greater range of subjects and. touches many more human interests, social and political, than the judicial positioa. Chief Justice Hartwell was very chronics and that the office should go right when he said: "Your habit of to a Maui man and after consideration I careful deliberation will be useful in the committee decided to endorse all I the dozen. There is no calendar. Evervbodv thinks he has the right of way. iTany broths have to be cooked vour duties as chief executive." So also has been the Governor's judicial training and habit of thought.

I am associate counsel, and only talk when I am told to as tonight. In ordinary courts, a longer time generally elapses between the begin, ning of a case and its final determination, than is allowed in this case, since never forgets that he is the servant of the people. This, however, is not the only side of the Governor's character. He has a quiet and incisive sense of humor, which comes out at the most unexpected times. As an illustration of this side of his character, I will cite an incident or two. Just after the Governor's return from his first trip to Washington, the Chief Justice called upon him. Some little while previous the Chief Justice was unfortunately bitten on the thumb while trying to separate two fighting dogs. The Chief Justice offered his left hand to the Governor, his right being bandaged. There was a slight pause, when the Governor remarked: "Well, Judge, how is that dog-gone finger of yours?" Having an and a lawyer Secretary, our lawyer Governor once in a while gets his amusement by little turns on them. This also illus trates the Governor's power of suspension of judgment. Xot long after we had all gone into office,, a prominent brother lawyer called upon me with a petition for a grant on a right-of-purchase lease and submitted therewith a fairly lengthy brief. In going over this brief, I thought I would have a little fun myself, as I knew the matter would be referred to the Attorney-General, and having been associated in(prirate practice with him I also knew his method of thinking. I therefore suggested to my bruther attorney two lines of argument which were not included in his brief, and which he subsequently included, returning several days later and presenting the whole matter to the Governor. A few days after this, happening to go into the Attorney-General's oflice, I found him surrounded with books, his hair disheveled, and an anxious look upon his face. He had before him the brief I have mentioned. He thus accosted me: "I wish you would look over thb brief. It is mighty clever argument, but I know it is wrong some where, but where I have not been able to get at yet," and he handed me the brief, indicating the points I had inserted therein. I finally confessed, and extracted a promise from him not to mention it to Governor Frear. Shortly thereafter the Governor called me into his office and, after talking over several matters, a method he has of .diverting attention, handed me that same identical brief, asking me to read it over and give my opinion then and there. Feeling suspicious, I read it as though I had never seen it before. Fol lowing the Attorney-General's opinion and not suspecting collusion, I thought and said it was clever. The Governor then looked straight at me with a curious smile, and said, with a meaning that there was no mbtaking: "That b about the flimsiest argument I ever read. Nobody but a mighty poor lawyer would do anything like that." In Hawaii the position of Governor is an extremely difficult one. Here we have many people of different thoughts, traditions and characteristics. Here, also, we have different localities separated by seas. Moreover, as a group, the Territory occupies a position of immense value and importance to the nation, not only on account of its strategic position, but as an outpost where the first experiments are being conducted in the commingling of the nations of the Cast and West, and the adjustment of the resulting conditions. Here in Hawaii these and other problems are being worked out without frietion and along lines that make for happiness for all within our borders and honor for the nation. Our lawyer Governor, with hb executive ability and bis judicial temperament, has these matters in charge, and to quote the words of hb com- mbsion from the President, "We may SAN FRANCISCO, June 3. The rustle of silk and the fragrance of sachet, the flutter of fashion, the radiance of Paris gowns and the Irresistible smiles of (Navy women, are changing Army transport headquarters these days from a lonesome,, barren, out-of-the-way, spot, to a sort of for ladies. Automobiles dash up to the desolated building at the foot of Van Ness avenue and the bay, and unload the daintiest of femininity at the door, with their marceled locks shaded by fluffy parasols, and their long chiffon veils floating to the breeze, and the ladles disappear In the darkened entrance, to return to their vehicles In a short time radiant with smiles, and usually talking to several more ladies who have either just driven up, or were met within the offices above. The reason for all this flutter at the transport headquarters is that the women of the Navy are preparing tc move. They have already moved once since they came to San Francisco from the East, and that was when 'they Journeyed to Seattle. Now they are preparing to become residents of Manila for a few months. The fleet sails from here July 7, but the wives and children of the Navy men will depart July 6. on the transport Thomas, bound for Manila, and touching at Honolulu. Many of the officers' wives will remain In Honolulu for the next ship, while many more will go straight to Manila, so as to be nicely settled by the time the fleet comes sailing along from Australia. Among the first of the Navy women o register for the Thomas were Mrs. W. H. H. Southerland, Miss Souther-land and Miss Mary Southerland. Mrs. Southerland is the wife of Captain Southerland, commander of the New Jersey. Mrs: Southerland and her handsome daughters were among the most fashionable of the Navy women at the Fairmont gaye,ties during tho fleet jubilee, and no function was complete without them. They will stay a short time In Honolulu, and proceed o Manila to welcome the fleet when it sails in, spend a short time afterward with Captain Southerland. and when the New Jersey bids farewell tc Manila, they will sail for Japan. Mrs. George Burnett, wife of Colonel Burnett. United States Marine Corps will travel with her three children, a trained nurse and a governess, so the little folk can go to school just the same as "land" children, whethsr aboard ship or ashore. Mrs. A. W. Hinds, wife of Lieutenant Commander A. W. Hinds of the Irginia, will be a passenger on the Thomas. It will be her first trip to the Orient. Mrs. E. Iu Bennett, wife of Lieutenant Bennett of the Virginia, will be a second feminine representative of one of the favorite ships of the fleet to sail on the Thomas. Mrs. J. W.

With manufactures of its lumber In sight, other than ties, the Santa Fe contract is not looming: up in quite as large proportions as it did before the Hawaiian Mahogany Lumber company had begun to plan, for turning out flooring, paving blocks, telephone p'ins, telephone poles, piles, fence posts, tannic acid and firewood from Its ohla trees, says the Hawaii Herald. All of these are possible as by-products, all have been discussed, some have been planned and order already received. For the koa tree product after the band mill has been Installed, there will be a veneerinjr plant, then the extraction of tannic acid from the bark and sawdust. This is as far as the company has gone at present, but one line of manufacturing will suggest another till the forests of the lsand of Hawaii will be one great hive of industry, each branch or which will require Its distinct ma chinery. It was the scarcity of hardwood lumber In the United States that flrst suggested expansion to the. Hawaii people. Samples of ohla have been sent here and there on the mainland, tests have been made and assurances received that ohla possesses nil the qualities of the best hardwoods for tho purposes Indicated, and' that It will take readily In the mainland markets. One such opinion was backed up by an order for a million feet of ohla to be used as a substitute for oak and ash. Flooring made from It has been pronounced equal to maple In texture and grain. And the flooring will be made in the forests of Hawaii, not shipped from here In the rough. Even the sawdust has Its marketable value as Jared G. Smith, officer In charge of the United States Experiment Station of the Department of Agriculture, has testified for he has re ported that enough tannic acid can bo extracted from the sawdust of the ohla to guarantee Jts manufacture, at a profit, as a business commodity. His analysis shows that the ohla sawdust contains a larger percentage of acid than either oak or hemlock, the products of which are now those mainly in use on the mainland. "Paving blocks! can be made from .the cut-off of tho timber used for ties: firewood and telephone pins will come from wood that Tyould otherwise be wasted. In fact the company Is planning to turn to merchantable account every 'particle of wood taken from the 100,000 acres of forest under its control. In the manu facture of which special machinery will be needed for each different product. Operations at the koa mill were suspended only temporarily to enable the installation of a band mill with a dally capacity of 20.COO feet. This was necessary owing to Jhe size of the loga In the forest, as it is not unusual to have logs that are six feet In diameter, and eighteen to twenty feet in length. The use of a band mill Is preferred owing to the large saving it effect In saw kerf which, owing to the high grade of the lumber, should be as fine as possible, not exceeding one-eighth of an inch. The market calls for high grade manufactures from this lumber, and this decided the company to erect a band mill. For veneering purposes there will hi a special plant erected in the koa forest after the band mill, and this will shortly be decided. The veneering plant, if completed as now projected, will turn out annually in the shape of lumber or veneers, or both, about six million feet which, at the present market price, would be worth $500,000 a year in Its rough condition without veneering. From the koa and saw dust tannic acid can be extracted, and analyses that have been mada show that both contain from twenty to thirty per cent, of tannin. With tho completion of the railroad line from Glenwood to Keauhou the company has direct communication from forest to tidewater. Shipments of koa are now being made, in the shape of fitches suitable for veneering, to the principle manufacturing cities In the United States, a the new steamer Lurllne. due here on Saturday, will take 25,000 feet of k-a on her flr.st trip consigned to different par ies In Chicago, San Francisco New York. Cincinnati, Grand Rapids an-1 Boston. Reports upon the Hawaiian koa. or mahocan that have been received to date from on the mainland to whom it has been sent, are highly satisfactory and In, several Instances It his been pronounced by experts as superior to Cuban mahogany. Temporarily the koa Is being stored In the Hilo boat landing for shioment, pending negotiations now in progress regarding other wharfage arrangements. The ohla tie mill now being erected at Puna will be completed within five days, with shipments ready to b made early in August. It has a daily capacity of 100,000 feet of sawn lumber, or 3000 ties each 8 feet by 5 by S inches. The machinery was eo from the Filer and Stonell Company of Milwaukee, one of the largest manufacturers of saTymlH machinery, and the Puna mill will be one of the 'areest in operation in the Unl'd States. The mill building 5s IocaeJ rIgU on the line of the Hilo Railroad ro that the ties can be placed on the cors from the mill platform. A logging railroad line Into the forest, two miles long, has been built by the company. A Shay locomotive has been ordered for this line and, upon Its arrival, the twenty logging cars that are being completed at the Hilo railroad shoos, will be used to bring the logs to the mill. Brothers havi begun their work of pulling the tro" and. In a few davs, will be ready t deliver to the mill. After furnishing the foresolng tilts to the Herald, Manager Harris said: "The company was organized tvw years ago. Its capital Is now $259,009. It has 10,000 acres of ohla timber land In Puna. 19.300 acres of koa land at Keauhou. and timber license? coverir.tr ion square miles, or 5i,O0O acres. In Kona. The company has had its troublous times but T believe Its difficulties are now ended.
