Death Takes Peter Hose,
Hawaii's Hula Traffic Cop
HONOLULU, Feb. 14.—Peter Hose,
Hawaii’s ruinous “hula traffic cop,’
! is dead, a victim of tuberculosis.
Well over six feet in height, always
smiling and genial, “Pete” as he was
known universally, was wont to en
tertain visitors and residents of the
islands by directing traffic at the bus
iest* street intersection in Honolulu
to the motions of a whistled hula
dance. He became a well-known char
acter both to residents and tourists
as he had served 18 years in the po
lice department.
Some months ago he contracted tu
berculosis and was placed in a sani
tarium. Prior to the holiday season
he suddenly arose one night, dressed
and walked to his home with the re
mark that he desired to die in his
own home among his family.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
