used at once for ne.v school houses.
He considered the 12-room school
house at Palama, to cost $25,000, and
the -1-room house at Hilo, to cost $4,
500, should be built lirst, being most
urgently needed. On motion of Mr.
Von Holt Minister Cooper was author
ized to go ahead at once with the
work of securing tenders for the build
ings. The question of assistant secretary
and Honolulu school agent, provided
;jy the new law, came up. Consider
able discussion arose over it. There
were three applicants. Miss Rose
Davison was elected on vote, her com
mission to date from August.

pleted a long term most faithfully and
satisfactorily as Deputy Inspector of

the subject of considerable discussion.
Mr. Von Holt wished to provide an

tricts.

thused teachers with the importance of
printing arrangements. Dahainaluna
wished to enlarge its facilities so as to
be able to take over entirely the paper
enterprise. The sum of $C40 was ap
propriated for surplus material requir
ed for the outfit. It was decided to put

printing and editorial work.

LARGE POST HER
Honolulu Is to Be an Im
portant Garrison.
Naval and Military Base With Strong
Fortifications Honolulu and
Pearl Harbor.
(Chronicle 20).
The fact that Honolulu is to become
most important post of the Army
a
becomes more certain every day. Maj.
Langfitt, commanding the battalion of
engineers, has been asked to lose no
time in leaving for Honolulu, in ad
vance of his command. Bein'g a skilled
engineer, he will make a preliminary
survey of the harbor and plan in a su
perficial way the fortifications that will
be erected at once. The defenses are to
be of the most modern and formidable
kind.
"Uncle Sam will make Honolulu im
pregnable," said a prominent officer
last night. "The city is to be a naval
and military base and will be the site
of the strongest fortifications in the
world, if money and brains can con
struct them. This will take time, but
meanwhile steps will be taken so thai,
the city will not be open to attack. A
reservation will be secured by the
Army, and on it will be erected bar
racks and "houses for officers, to form
a post of considerable size.
"Just how many men will compose
the garrison cannot be said, but I look
for several thousand to be detailed for
the Islands within the next three
months. Before three years nave
elapsed Honolulu and Pearl Harbor
will be able to defy the battleships of
any hostile nation. The next Congress
will be asked to make a large appro
priation for this purpose, and millions
will be spent in the work."
