Testing the Hydrants

The work of laying down larger pipes,
for supplying the city of Honolulu with
water, which has for some time past
been going on, and is still in progress,
under the supervision of Mr.. Charles B.
Wilson, Superintendent of the Water
Works, having been so far completed as
to cause a marked improvement in the
pressure, steps were taken yesterday to
apply test, with the view OF ascertain
ing to what extent the desired object
had been achieved, and the result was
eminently satisfactory. Hydrants were
affixed to the fire plugs at Liliha street,
the head of Emma street and at Palama,
a horizontal stream of water $50 feet in
length being obtained in each case.
BefoR these improvements were effected
it was impossible to throw water hori-
zontally more than from $50 to $50 feet
So great was the pressure in one case
that a length of hose was burst At any
future fire the improvement Will be
found invaluable, and the engines may
almost be dispensed with. The opera
tions were carried out under the superin-
tendence of Mr.. White, Surveying En-
gineer to the Honolulu Fire Department.

BLACK LAKE, La, July I2, 1886.

EDITORS COURIER
We are able to state to you that the
Black Lake neighborhood is gradually
recovering from the severe effect of last
months overflow. While much has
been lost in crops, and damage to fenc-
ing, bridges, etc, it is with pleasure we
note that the farmers and laborers are
as determined as in the past, all having
with few exceptions returned and gone
to work. Where the crops of corn and
cotton have been totally destroyed the
land has been rebroke and planted to
corn and peas There will, it is
thought, be us much as half crop to
gather this fall of both corn and cotton.
Everyone that can do so is planting
largely of sweet potatoes. The idea is
to make all the pea hay and corn possi-
BILE for feeding purposes, with plenty of
sweet potatoes for table use. Cotton is
growing, that is, what was left of it to
grow but the continued rains of last
week stopped in a measure all work
consequently there is plenty Of grass.
The crops along Bayou B9uf are grow
ing and steadily improving, but the wet
weather has kept all work much behind
hand therefore crops are not so clean
as they should be at this season of the
year. Cane has grown wonderfully in
the past three weeks, and begins to
look now somewhat as in the days of
yore.
Hon. Chas. Singleton and his aged
mother, now 95 years old, are up from
the City on short visit to his SOD, Mr..
Geo s. Singleton, of Black Lake Plan
tation.
A ferry boat has been placed on Croc
odlle to accommodate those crossing from
Bayou Bnuf to Clicot. Mr.. Chas.
Dossman has resumed work at his saw
mill, and now delivers lumber by barge
at the ferry landing, some two or three
miles below his mill. We learn that
Mr. 7 D. Miller of New Orleans, con-
templates building fine residence on
his Sans Souci Plantation, near his ex-
tensive sugar refinery on Bayou BGuf.
Everyone in the Black Lake neighbor
hood has nnbounded confidence in Capt.
Sam Haas, aud is satisfied that the
Captain will soon see that they have a
new bridge to span Crocodile, to re-
place the one washed away.
