Rather Ton Heavy.

A gentleman passing out on
King street near Robello lane yes
terday afternoon witnessed queer
sight. A watering cart in the mid
die Of the street had been filled too
full of water. In consequence of
this fact it had tipped backward,
and the poor horse attached to the
cart was dangling in the air, max
ing vigorous efforts to touch the
ground. The driver was in sore
straits as to the best mode of pro-
cedure in the emergency. At last
a brilliant thought struck him and
with beaming countenance he let
the water run out of the cart.
Slowly the horse descended to
earth amidst mud puddleg of vari-
Gus shapes and descriptions. A
moment afterward the driver was
in his place sprinkling the already
too well moistened places on his
way to dryer spots.

which must follow the completion of
that the matter of enlarging the har.
Dor should be taken in hand promptly.
Just now the only place that might
be acquired at a reasonable cost, at
the same time being a profitable in
vestment to the Government, is in the
neighborhood of the land reclaimed
by the Oahu Railway Company, near
their King street station. This would
be convenient location and a safe
one for vessels arriving from any port;
but, as it would necessitate the rail-
road company releasing some of it's
most valuable city land, there may be
a doubt about the matter being con-
sumated.
For instance, the Government
might dredge out a basin on the
northwest side of the harbor, say
seven hundred feet wide by one thOus-
and feet long, in the direction of King
street bridge which, allowing for the
slope of bank all around the space
dredged, would require an excavation
of about twelve and One-half acres,
for all vessels entering the harbOr),
necessitating the removal of ap-
proximateiy 100000 cubic yards
of what may be safely as
sumed is mud. This material
can be dredged out at a much less
expense than the average work done
heretofore by the dredger, for the rea-
son that in the previous work the
shovels have frequently struck coral
and boulders and the pipes have
oftener discharged water than solid
matter. Work has been done in places
where the locality has contained mat
ter similar in character to that in this
basin at cost of 20 cents per cubic
yard, and, in the event that 1t does
not contain only mud and soft gravel.
the greatest cost would not exceed so
cents per cubic yard. This price is the
estimate of a man thoroughly cOmpe-
tent TO Judge. If the measurement
420, 600 feet-is correct, the cost of eX-
cavatiOn at the maximum figure would
be about S126, ZOO.
If this material should be pumped
into the sea the total cost of the work
would fall upon the Government in
its Harbor Improvement fund; but it
can be placed in locality where 1T
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-10-15

will be worth to the Government at
least double the cost of eXcavating.
In dredging out 10000 cubic yards
of mud, there would be sufficient ma
terial to cover, probably, six acres of
mud flats and make the land valuable
to the Government for almost any pur-
pose, and if the Oahu Railway Com
pany could be induced to exchange
seven or eight acres of their land near
est King street and accept in return
the same number of acres of reclaimed
land the Government would have
basin that would give it upwards of
1900 lineal feet OF wharfage. There
would be sufficient material eXcava-
ted from the basin land to cover at
least sixty acres on the Iwilei side of
the city. Deduct from this, seven
acres to be exchanged with the Oahu
Railway Company and the Govern
ment will have acquired fifty-three
acres of land at an approximate cost
of $1S6, 200, which may be valued, by
comparison with lands sold in the
vicinity, at S31S, 600. The value OF the
new wharves may be estimated at
100000 which can be added to the
amount mentioned above. BY adopt
ing the plan suggested in this article
the Government would add to its
holdings property having a net value
of S41S, 700.
The land thus made by depositing
the matter taken from the basin
would be nearer the city and conse-

The Brown Case.

John Brown, the man who shot
"Scotty" Brown, was sentenced to
two years imprisonment, with a
fine of 5000 and costs, in the Dis
trict Court yesterday. The case
was begun in the morning and
finished in the afternoon. Brown
defended himself. T. B. Murray,
his employer, with view to hav-
ing the case appealed, became re-
sponsibls for Browns appearance
when wanted and the prisoner was
released.

the class held on Wednesday, it was unanimously
voted that the sentiment Of the class is for

a radical measure are that the larger universities
are doing away with the system Of Commence

sneakers chosen fail to represent the ability OF the
class and that the entire exercise is more Of a
bore than a pleasure. The general impression
