Routine Business.

There was considerable excitement
about the city hall yesterday over a
report that the Pirtle Water company
people had determined to cross the city's
zanja, on the Los Feliz rancho, even if
they had to use force. The city has had
an officer stationed at the scene of the
trouble ever since Sunday last. with in
structions to arrest any person who in
terfered in any way with the ditch. Yes
terday morning officer Huston sent
word to the police station that there
was large gang Of men there under the
direction of two bosses, who said that
they intended to cross the ditch, officer
or no officer, and that as there was liza
bic to be trouble, he wanted reinforce
ments. Officers Rohn. Mcclure, Nc
Keag, Johnson, Merser and Williams
were at once sent to the seat of war
in a wagon. The policemen found three
men in the ditch putting in fume,
while the gang was digging a trench.
They were ordered to desist, but under
the direction Of the bosses they refused
to do SO, and the officers forcibly elected
them.
The members of the city council were
notified and about noon Meesrs. Stock
we'll, Snyder, Munson and Teed, with
City Attorney Dunn, went out 10 Wnere
the work was in progress. Engineer
Freel is in charge Of the water company,
and, after talking over matters, an
agreement was reached to the effect
that if the city would withdraw the po-
licelnen the. water company would not
tamper with the ditch, pending the set
tlement of the matter in the courts.
After coming to thorough under
standing, the policemen and councilmen
returned to the city, and the threatened
war was averted.
The point in controversy is small
matter, comparatively. but the council
men do not propose to allow anything
to be done that can in any way be con-
strued as recognizing the right Of the
Pirtle or any other water company to
any of the water of the river, whether
percolating or otherwise. The city does
not own the land on the Los Feliz ranch
on which the ditch runs. but it has a
perpetual right of way fifty feet wide
The Pirtle company has developed sew
eral hundred inches of water on it's
land about a mile from the river, and
g. j. Griffith has given the corpora ton
right of way to lay a pipe across his
land. The Pirtle people have brought
suit in the United States court to quiet
title to this water and in the meantime
they are going ahead building their pipe
line.

THE HARPER SCHOOL

To the Editor Of The Herald: We no.
tice in the morning paper of Sept. 18th
that the petition for the reinstatement
of Prof. j. p. Yoder as principal of the
Harper school district was referred to
superintendent Foshay and the teach
ers' committee
This petition is signed by nearly 20D
heads of families and expresses the
unanimous sentiment of the people in
this locality. We sincerely hope that the
committee in charge will give it due
consideration, for we believe that they
desire to give us a principal who al
ready has the respect and confidence Of
the people.

TOURIST HOTEL PROJECT
The Adams Street Proposition Finally
Abandoned
Out the Wiltshire Enterprise at
Westlake Park

Some months ago when the two hotel
projects were being pushed, an agree
ment was entered into whereby the Will
shire company withdrew their hotel
scheme in favor of the Silent hotel pro-
ject, as it was deemed best to push
one hotel scheme at time. The follow
ing letter speaks for ITSELF
LOS ANGELES, Sept. Is.
The Wiltshire Company, 2O6 South Broad
way, Los Angeles, CAL:
Gentlemen:-Referrin to our letter of
May, the Sth ult, in regard to your with
drawing your hotel scheme until such
time as the Adams Street hotel should
prove success or failure, we desire
to state that, according to your letter,
you were not to push your scheme until
July 1st, which was afterwards eX-
tended to August 31st, and as this time
has now expired, and as we were not
able to carry out our plans for the erec-
tion of hotel on the Silent property,
and so agreeable to our promise to YOU
we are now willing to aid you and do
all we can to assist you in building a
hotel on your beautiful Wiltshire boule-
ward tract, and facing Westlake park
AS soon as you get your subscription
list prepared, If you will call upon US
we will be glad to give you our cordial
cooperation. Appreciating the great
necessity that Los Angeles has for such
hotel, we hope your scheme will have
the success it warrants. Yours very
truly,
J. S. SLAUSON,
Chairman Committee Adams Street Ho-
tel Company.
From the above correspondence it will
be seen that the project for building a
large tourist hotel is again going to as
sumo shape and it is trusted will meet
With the success that it warrants. The
site offered by the Wilsire company
certainly is second to none in the city.
The hotel would have the advantage Of
having Westlake park, which guests of
the hotel could have the use of without
any expense to the hotel company. and
the plan to raise the funds to finish and
build this hotel is quite different from
the Adams street hotel. in this case
there being no bonus required Commit
tees will be appointed and as soon as
the time warrants it subscriptions will
be solicited for the building of this badly
needed hotel.

AT THE PLAY.

Feelings of satisfaction and felicita-
ton should certainly be the portion of
all who contributed to the most aus
picious and signally triumphant dedi-
cation of the new opera house. y mag
nificent temple assigned to the mus
zeal and dramatic has been provided
for Honolulu through the eXertions
and enterprise and good tasCe of Mr..
Irwin. That it could be opened upon
so grand scale by resident talent is
highly fattering to the community
All are proud indeed of Miss Mon
tague, Mrs. Dimond and their associate
artists. Viewing the nature of the en-
tertainment submitted for the open
ing of the new house, Honolulu may
pride herself upon the number OF cit
liens to whom grand opera appeals.
It is voucher for the intelligence and
culture of the place. The Star joins
with all in reiterating the expression
of Indebtedness to Mr.. and Mrs. r.
win, John d. and Adolph B. Spreckels
and Miss Montague and her company,
not forgetting Mr.. Porter, the scenic
artist, Herr Berger, the musical di-
rector, Mr. Abrams, the stage builder
and Mr.. Hoffman, who placed the cleo
trical effects.

Improved methods of equipment,

come with improved industrial and in

day there have been no experiments
sufficiently satisfactory to prove the
advisability of replacing the captive

sances or as instruments of offensive
warfare. The important part to be
played in future wars by free dirig-
ible balloons or by flying machines S

WAR METHOD PROGRESS.

Gen. \. w. Greedy, chief signal Off
Ger of the United States, has made his
annual report to the Secretary of War
of the operations of the signal corps of
the army during the past fiscal year:
The system of field or flying telegra-
ply, initiated by the United States
during the war for the Union," Gen.
Greedy says, has kept pace in its de-
velopment with the astonishing adj
yances of electrical science. Other
nations have gradually adopted Amer
lean methods. The Japanese army
carried its flying telegraph line into
Seoul the day after its capture. The
late Ashanti expedition, and the pres
ent advance on Dongola alike exempli-
fly the indispensability of such mill
tary lines. In the last case cablegrams
intimate that the flying telegraph line
stopped at the crossing of the Nile for
lack of cable, which is considered an
essential part of the flying train of
the American army
hV dbbitlph VI DdllOOH SecllOn
TO the field telegraph trains for the
purpose of collecting and transmitting
military information" Gen. Greedy
says, brings into special importance
the question of aerial navigation. Bal
looming forms one of the general
branches of such navigation wherein
is used, first, an apparatus lighter than
air, or, second, heavier than air. The
signal corps is equipping balloon
section for use i'm connection with
each field telegraph train is simply
simplifying the ideas of Gen. Fitz John
Porter enunciated early in the war OF
the rebellion. The utility and i'm
portance of balloons for obtaining mil
itary information during field opera
tions were fully demonstrated by Gen.
Porter, but, with many other Ameri-
can ideas, such as repeating arms, etc,
proved too advanced for the time. and
had to await recognition and develop
ment by the military authorities of
other nations. The United States, the
first nation to use balloons in war. rs
it was first to use the electric tele-
graph and signal paraphernalia on the
field of battle, has been outstripped
as these ideas have been adopted and

Much of the solid silver
ware used in Honolulu is
bought in San Francisco by
people visiting there because
it is cheaper.
Twenty-Five per cent duty
is a great deal too much to
pay and it tempts people to
make purchases while they
are where they may buy it
cheaper. There is nothing
criminal in the transaction,
just a bit of practical econ
omy. There would have been
no necessity for these buyers
to 90 abroad, if dealers were
willing to divide with their
customers. The profit is large
enough on solid ware to cut
off the twenty-five per cent.
and sell it at a margin salts
factory to every one. People
do not buy when they are
abroad because they can get
better goods, but because
they can get it cheaper.
The selections made by us
are from three Of the largest
factories in the States. We
buy for cash and get the ar
ticles cheap and will sell them
at twenty-five per cent, or
exactly the same as is charged
in San Francisco.
We have child's sets at 1913
and full tea sets for great
deal more; the quality has
never been surpassed in this
country and the prices have
never been equalled.
