lights FOR THE station
NEEDED IMPROVEMENT FOR THE
QUARANTINE ISLAND.
Liberal Offer Made by Hawaiian Flee
tric Company Board of Health AuX-
iouS to Put In Electric System.

The Government quarantine station
is soon TO be ablaze with electric lights
during the evenings and Chief Quar-
antine Officer j. D. McNeigh and his
men are happy. The secretary of the
Board of Health has already been I'M,
structed to advertise for bids for the
wiring of the station and the furnish
ing of an engine and dynamo
Mr.. McNeigh has not been idle since
this much needed improvement was
first talked of. lie has made careful
survey of the station and found that
eighty-tive lights are needed. This
number is distributed throughout the
building and on the outside. There
will be sixteen lights placed around
the upper corral and twelve lights
around the lower corral on the out
side. lamps around these corrals will
be placed on posts with tin reflector
behind. This. Mr.. McNeigh believes,
will he ample light with which TO
carry on the outside work.
\ question which the Board of
Health must determine after the bids
have been submitted. Is whether to
outfit the station with an engine and
dynamo. or to connect it with either
the Government service or the Hawaii
an Electric plant. The chief quaran-
tine officer says that he would much
rather have dynamo put in. Besides
Mr.. McNeigh there are two other men
employed on the quarantine force who
are engineers and who understand
how TO operate The engine ard
dynamo.
Some idea of the cost of this i'm
provement can be ascertaincd from
propositions submitted to the Board
yesterday by the Hawaiian Electric
Company. That company agreed to
wire the quarantine station and put in
eighty-tive lights. everything com
plete, for 500. AS regards a pole line,
the same would have to be run from
King street to the station. a distance
of nearly mile. for S254.GO. the Gov
eminent to have the post holes dug
with prison labor. This would make
total cost Of $S09.G0.
The Electric Company would make
a reasonable charge for the power fur
niShed.
To supply an engine and dynamo
with sufficient power to run 100 lights
the company would charge $775. in ad-
dition to the $500 for wiring. making
total cost of $3.50.
There is an appropriation balance
for the present year in the treasury
to the credit of the building mainten-
ance fund of the quarantine station of
SD, l65. Or. Day stated that the quar-
anttne station was at present in good
condition and unless something I'M
forseen happened that il would not be
necessary TO draw on this fund for
the next ten or twelve months. He
could see nothing that would hinder
the Board from making the contem-
plated improvements.
1t is QUITE probable that the station
will be lighted with electricity within
the next three or four weeks-some-
thing that the employees in that insIi-
tuition will be truly thankful for.

A Lille knowledge

A person unacquainted with Bicycle
construction attempting to dismantle
a wheel or effect home repair will
often do more dameage in five min
utes than a skilled mechanic can re-
pair in day. The mechanism of most
Bicycles is very intricate, with left
hand lock-nuts and very fine threads,
which will slip if the least bit over
strained.
Many of the parts require special
wrenches to turn them, of which we
have a large assortment, together with

The DeLamar nugget. [volume] (DeLamar, Idaho) 1891-1900, 1897-08-27

According to the be autifully worded
sentiments of Nicholas of Russia and
Wilhelm of Germany, the peace of Eu-
rope is upon rs firm a foundation as
the everlasting hills. Nevertheless
there is no abatement in the serious
work of organizing armies and building
up great navies. Banquet speeches
count for very little as an expression
OF international feelings. While there
is no formidable war cloud on the Eu-
ropean horizon, actions speak louder
than words. Just at present the har-
monious accord of the two Emperors
may be interpreted to mean that they
are determined to preserve the peace
if they have to fight all the rest of Eu
rope in order to do it.
