events and descriptions as set forth in
his journal is taken up at Kuching.
Kuching is the capital town of the

There was a toot of whistles and the

On the right was the fort and the
residency, the palace or "astana," and
a long stretch of green lawns and gar
dens.
The Borneo houses look like Kawaia-
hao Seminary or Kaumahapili Church

plaster.
The mercury was at SO deg. when we
moored on the other side, where the
Jail, warehouses and ordinary resi-
dences are Sarawak, or rather Ku-
ching, is reclaimed jungle, but thirty
years have given it an European look.
The streets are clean and wide. The
town is about as big as Hflo.
Ny impression is that there are about
fifteen English people here.
The Sarawak Government rules over
Mohammedan Malays (under Moslem
law), over Chinese mercantile and
strict English common law), over Dy-
axis, Kayans, Kenniahs, Kemahbits and
others with a law based on good prin-
cipIes. However, there is no set law

New Pumping Plants.

w. P. Eichbaum representing the
Crane Co, Pacific Coast Agents for
Henry R. WorthingtOn, manufacturers
of pumping machinery, condensers and
water meters, left for San Francisco
by the Australia yesterday afternoon,
after having closed contracts with the
Kahuku and Pioneer sugar plantations
for a high duty pumping plant apiece
for irrigation on high levels. These
will be down on March 1st, 1897
1t is more than probable that the
company represented by Mr.. Eichbaum
will set up an agency in Honolulu in
the near future.

w. o. Smith, Esq,
Pres. Board of Health,
Honolulu. II. I.


Sir:-As per request of the Board be-
fore leaving Honolulu | have looked
into the matter of Filtration of Water
and find that the Lawrence works would
not suit our case as we'll as the fltra-
tion by the Norwood process. Have
seen several of their plants in operation
in Paper Mills, ETC., where they had to
have the purest of water. A plant
could be placed between the last reser-
voir and the pipe leading to the city
and be run by gravitation. Their long,
est tanks will filter 500, 900 gallons in
"A hours, so we would need at present
to furnish 2,5OO,O 900 gallons at a cost of
less than $4,000. The plants 1 saw
were of boiler iron II feet high and 13
feet in diameter and contained about 5
feet of sand with valves so arranged
that you can clean them at any time
in a few minutes. We could put up in
brick and cement, which would lessen
the cost. The Norwood Company would
send on a man to put up the works and
see them in perfect running order
This company want me to obtain a
blue print showing the situation of our
reservoirs, and the fall between them
so they can have data upon which to
furnish estimates, and more especially
between the lower one and the water
sample of the water, so they can see
what they have got to remove from the
water. Take a bottle and put it in a
block of wood and send to me, with
above print, to The ThOrndike, -
BoylstOn St, Boston.

For the New Bridge.

1t is safe to say that the largest
mortgage that Register of Deeds Chan
dler has had to record in many a dav
was filed at the registers office Monday,
The sum involved is $3.50, geo. 1t is given
| by the Superior and Duluth Bridge
company to the Central Trust Company
OF New York city, as trustees.
The form of the Indebtedness is $50
1 bonds Of par value of 81 900 each.
| lhey are payable in gold coin of the
| l nlted States and will draw interest AT
the rate of tiye-cents per annum.
It's only copy of the original mort
gage that is filed with the register and
/ altogether is quite an elaborate affair,
beng printed in the form of a paber
/ covered book and covering % pages of
closely printed matter.
The bond runs for thirty years, falling
due August |, 1926, but they are payable
at the pleasure of the Superior and Du-
Iuth Bridge company after Aug |, 1908.
Beginning with the year 1900, a sinking
fund VIII be formed by the company
deposltng 800 annually with the
trustee. The Superior and Duluth
Traction company of New York CITY to
whom the bridge has been least bv the
owners, guarantees the sinking fund
end the prompt payment of all interest
If, at any time, the interest should not
be paid when que and should remain in
detaulttOr six months the bonds become
due Immediately. Then also, the
rentals due from the Superior Rapid
Transit company for use of the bridge,
would be payable to the Central Trust
company or to the holders of the bonds.
The instrument is signed by S. T.
Noryell as president of the Superior &
Duluth Bridge company, and by Z.
Francis Hyde, president of the New
York Central Trust Company.
1t is understood that the company
has prospective buyer for a large por-
ton of the bonds and that they will all
be taken in a short time.
All this means that funds will not be
lacking for continuing the present work
on the bridge and for its speedy com
pletlon. A large number Of men are
now at work upon it, on both sides of
the bay and it is considered probable
that all of the piles will be driven be-
fore the water freezes.-Leader

The fourth attempt to secure good
water at Holey Corners has failed. 4

on Thursday of last week to meet Sept
Sth, but iii the mean time the Commit
tee on Court House removal and several
assistants are continuing their labors
at the rate Of $50 per day and are in
hopes to he able to report by January

Register of Deeds have to be searched
to ascertain if signers are voters and
free holders, and if q certain number
are not the petition falls. A decided
majority of the Board were convinced
at the last meeting that the matter had
gone far enough but all thought it adj
visable to await their meeting in Sep

taking final action.
