Irrigation.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-I have been read
ing the plans for irrigation Of some Of
our men Of scientific BttRinments" who
"hsve studied and grown gray" and con-
udsd that it is the duty Of some old
farmer to apply "the rule Of thumb" ].
G. Hendrix spike of in his Baltimore
bank speech. (Some may not know what
He"drix's rule Of thumb is. under
and it is az the thumb 10 tho strong
est and most important member OF the
hand, so the old farmers rules are the
best and most reliRble)
The governor in his message, on this
subj sct, after telling what a good goody
set Of fools we are, kindly infOrms as
that We own the water beneath us and
advises US to 70 to pumping. Well, /
have the wind work to irriGste eighty
acres. Cmplsted here it is:
will need one foot Of water FOR irri-
cation in q dry season, 80 must prepare
for that amount. A pond covering an
acre Of ground, with q secure bank or
wall around it high enough, will do. So
up, up goes my wall. Alb, yes; eighty
feet hlghl And down, down goes my
we'll for my "undsrAOW;" down 199 feet.
Think, 279 feet from my "underAJW" to
tho top OF my water tank. That beats
the Ferris wheel at the Worlds Fair.
Then pump; yes-Well, no. They say

nate 60 there Chat is, the men OF scisn-
tito Attsinments say So), and the great
ssi need of those below is more water. |

/ have been thinking up Gods plan

ration monopoly plan, but the system
the Great Creator created for irrigation.
Somehow (shs men OF scientific attain
ments, perhaps, can tell us) the water is
drawn up from the oceans, lakes, rivers,
ponds and moist earth. Warm air takes
more water and holds more than cooler
air, but on the surface Of the earth
where there is no water none is taken
up. East Of the Rocky mountains there
are abou 100000 'quars mileswhich need
irrigation in the UnItsd States, with COM

Mr. Cleveland is confident Of one thing,

shas wa are likely TO leave to them.
The president is not "short" any on
tools to do his bidding. Chairman
Springer came promptly to the aid OF
'r. Cleveland with 3 bill framed to suit
hls wishes. It is to be hoped that there
Id patriotism enough among ths mem

The Cases that HAYS Been So Much
Talked About.

The Cases that HAYS Been So Much
Talked About.
The general courtmartial on the
cases of Lieutenants King and Bur
gett sat Saturday evening and Sun
day. Capt. Wilder was president
and Capt Ashley judge advocate.
Judge Robertson was Mr.. Kings
attorney.
The cases were concluded and
findings made. The results go to
President Dole for review and will
not be known officially for some
time.
1t is pretty well understood
down town that Lieutenant King
was completely eXonerated. The
charge pressed was that of failure
to obey orders as to making a
camp in a movement in
Pauoa valley. Details cannot
be published until the matter is
finally ended. One report is that
Mr.. King will now soon carry into
effect determination to resign eX.
pressed some months ago. There
is considerable feeling between the
Lieutenant and some other officers
of the regiment.
The street talk is that severe dis.
cipiine of Lieut.. Burgett was reco'
mended by the court. AS an i'm
mediate result of the trial he may
leave the service.

WAS OUT ELEVEN DAYS.
ARRIVAL OF THE CosMoPoLIs, THE
NEW HAWAIIAN STEAMER.
Cargo -Appearsnce--voy
Down.

The new Hawaiian steamer Co.'S
mopolis arrived this afternoon, II
days from San Francisco. Captain
w. B. Godfrey came down OH her.
She brought a small cargo valued
at So, SIT. Her shipments consist
chiefly Of grain, hay, feed, so bbls
flour, 81 bbls. salmon, SO packages
hardwood, provisions, rope, can
vas. etc., etc. She also brought a
fine pony which Captain Godfrey
purchased i'll California.
The Cosmopolis presented fine
appearance as she steamed into
port. She is painted white, and
flew large Hawaiian flag aft. She
is quite wide and is somewhat
longer than the Waialeale. Her
general makeup is quite neat' and
she is reported to be a smooth
sailor. She will go on the marine
railway to be cleaned in a few
days.
Heavy winds were encountered
the first three days out after which
ne weather was experienced. The
Cosmopolis is at the Oceanic dock.

ON THE NEW EXTENSION.
OAHU RAILWAY LINE COMPLETED
-FOUR MILES BEYOND EVA.
Heavy steel solidiy Laid-work Con-
.tinuing Road Bed Finished The
New Country.

Mr.. Dillingham; took a party of
friends beyond Eva Saturday
afternoon to inspect the new branch
line to Waianae, so far as it is now
completed. The party left the city
at 1:4s and returned on the late
train. AT Eva mill the new road
continues straight forward from the
terminus of the old one.
At this point the second class
coaches were dropped, and the two
cars containing the visitors pulled
out again. In a moment a slight
jolt was felt and the cars
settled upon smooth, even
track as straight as a ramrod.
The wheels are steady and firm, and
there was no screeching or cracking.
Everyone realized that the new
rails had been reached, and looked
back upon the road. There the
3o-lb. rails terminated. Braced
against the ends Of them were
heavier rails, and nearly three
times as wide. The ties were stout
and close together. The bolts and
spikes were stout and strong. The
road bed was a model of soliditv.
On mile and several culverts
were crossed. In low places the
road ran over enbankments, quite
high but solid. At a point four
miles beyond Eva the cars stop
ped. There the road ended.
The bed has been completed to
Wainae, but only these four miles
of rails have yet been laid. Track
laying is progressing at the rate of
half mile per day or three miles
per week. Wainae will be reached
in June.
The country traversed by the
cars Saturday is for the most part,
level. The mountains may be
seen on the right and the sea
stretches away to the left. An
algeroba forest will be reached this
week. By the last of next week
the track map extend to the sea
shore beyond. The mountains
will be escaped through gap near
the sea.
The road runs through a great
bed of limestone. There is no end
to it. Grading has been made
through miles of it. The hard
stone lies in piles over many acres
of land, while the lime, like sand,
may be shovelled from the sides of
hills. All of it is quite valuable.
When burned and prepared it is
rich fertilizer. Mr.. Dillingham;
says the lime in the bed runs "a
per cent. A lot of the hard stone
in Its crude state has been sold for
" per ton.
Further on the road will reach
firewood, and finally plantations
Of cane, rice, etc. A big excursion
to Waianae will be on the Fourth
of July program. The cars will
leave town in the morning and re-
turn i'll the afternoon. Fares will
be reduced, and the public will be
invited
