Taps A GUSHING FLOOD
FIRST FLOWING WELL HAS BEEN
BORED ON KAUAI.
James McCandless has a Success on
the Linderman Estate Near the Wal
lua River-Rice Land Irrigated.

a flowing well on Kauai is an ac-
complished fact. James McCandless
returned by the Iwalani this morning,
having completed the boring of well
on Linderman's land between the Wal
lua river and Hanamaulu, for the All
Lee Rice company. Mr.. McCandless
says he struck the water at a depth
of 236 feet and that it rises twelve
and one-half feet above the sea level.
and gives a fine flow of 1,50O,00O gal
Ions in every twenty-four hours. This
is the first flowing well on Kauai, and
James is proud of his success.
The boring operations have occupied
about a month. and have been contln
ued without a break, everything going
on as smoothly as possible, and the
strata passed through Offering no
very great resistance to the drills. The
well is situated about threequarters
of mile from the sea, and the wa
ter is as sweet as the pure mountain
water of the upper streams.
The firm of All Lee d Co. have just
commenced their rice plantation, and
calculate that the present well will
irrigate about fifty acres of rice land.
AS they have one hundred acres which
can be put into rice. the probability
is that another well will be sunk at a
future date. as soon as the land can
be cleared. An expert, who came ov,
err to view the WELL calculated that it
supplies water enough to irrigate one
hundred acres of cane. so that wells
for this purpose will doubtless be sunk
along the east coast of Kauai. as far
north probably as Moloa gulch.
Artesian wells have been sunk on
Kauai both at Mana, Kekaha and more
recently at Koloa, all on the south
side of the Island but in none of these
would the water flow. They have
been of great use to the plantations,
however, for the water is pumped
from them and so distributed over the
fields. But the work is costly, both
for the pumping machinery and for
fuel, adding considerably to the ex-
pense for raising the cane. Without
these wells. however, ii would be inn
possible to raise much cane either at
Kekaha or Mana. so they may be re-
/ garded as the life blood of these plan
tations. The water in these wells, al
though perfectly adapted for irriga-
ton, is slightly brackish. and is not
pleasant to drink or to wash with.
The fact that flowing well has
been sunk on the east side of the Is
land. and that sweet water can be Oh
tained, will have a great effect upon
the cultivation on that side of the Is
land, and low lands. which before were
regarded as useless will be much en-
hanced i'm value.
Within the last twenty years an en-
tire change has come over eastern
Kauai, which used to be only used for
cattle runs. Now it is full of the busy
hum of sugar mills and long tracks of
rails run to the farthest parts of the
! plantations. With the discovery of
flowing wells the area of cultivation
will be much increased.
| The McCandless brothers are to be
congratulated upon their success In
obtaining water for many barren
spot upon the Islands. &

A FAIR ISLAND HUNIRESS
MISS LAURA DUNCAN'S GOOD
MARKSMANSHIp.
Shot a Deer on Molokai-Made a
Good Bag of Other Game-Delight-
full Hunt.

Miss Laura Duncan, principal of the
Pohukaina Girls school. is clever
shot with her rifle. She spent her
Christmas vacation on Molokai hunt
ing big game and brought home with
her good bag.
She had hardly touched the Molokai
shore before she was impatient to go
to the front. The ride from the land
ing to the ranges where deer, goats,
wild hogs, wild turkeys and quail
abound, is on exceedingly rough and
trying journey, but Miss Duncan was
not the least fatigued when she had
reached the end of her journey. She
rode a good horse, one that has par
ticipated in many IA hunting eXpedi-
tion and which has been accustomed
to its rider shooting from the saddle.
1t was not until the second day af-
ter her arrival on Molollai that Miss
Duncan brought down "A stately buck.
1t was "A rather long shot and Miss
Duncan's companions compimented-
her upon her craftsmanship. After
securing her prize Miss Duncan very
artistically skinned the deer and later
tanned its hide. The hide and a mag
niticent pair or antlerS now occupy 4
prominent place in her home.
Miss Duncan is passionntely found
of shooting and she can hunt deer
about as well as the next fellow"

PAU MO BECOMES INSANE
THE LONG HAIRED PRISONER
IN CUSTODY.
Tried to Smash Up the Furniture in
II. Bertelmann's House-Fights with
the Arresting Officer.

Pua Milo, better known as the long
haired political prisoner" is in pad
ded cell at the city prison, having
become suddenly demented. He was
taken into custody this morning at
the Bertleman place, at Waikiki, at
the request of his friends, who fear
ed that he would do some of them bod
lily harm. He gave the arresting Off
Ger hard fight. but was finally over
come and ironed.
For several days past Pua Milo has
shown symptoms of insanity, but it
was not until this morning that they
developed to an alarming extent. At
about II o'clock he went into the
house, and muttering to himself, com
menced to smash the furniture. So
violent did he become that n telephone
message was sent to the police sta
tion for assistance. Patrolman Es-
pinda was dispatched to the scene on
his bicycle. and for fully ten minutes
the maniac and officer rolled and
fought on the beach. The muscles OF
the policeman proved the stronger
however, and he overcame and ironed
his opponents, taking him to the city
prison. Pua Milo proved to be rather
wild i'm his talk. He muttered about
dead Chinese" fish" and dead ia.

On being placed in cell however hc
became quiet.
Pua Milo is a full blood native about
45 years old, who was something OF

archy he swore a great oath never tC

stored to the throne He has kept hi'
oath and his hair now hangs over his
shoulders. For the active part ht
took in the revolution of 1895, Pua
Milo was imprisoned with the other po
litical prisoners. At that time his
hair was quite long. and he was ther
known as the long haired prisoner.
He pleaded guilty to the charges that
were made against him, and sentenc,

4 CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

The troubles of the bark Natuna,
which arrived at San Francisco on De-
cember 30th, after a voyage of 225
days from London, were many. At
the time the bark was making ineffec-
tual attempts to round Cape Horn sew
eral barrels of creosote in her cargo
were stove in and their contents were
poured into the lower hold. The
fumes from the liquid permeated the
entire hold and the rapid evaporation
caused IA heavy frost to settle on ev-
erything between decks. The vessel
was taken to Long wharf, Oakland, the
matches were opened and the work of
discharging the cargo commenced. 1t
was found that the fumes from the
creosote were so strong as to make it
impossible for men to remain in the
hold more than five minutes at time.
As there seemed to be no way of over
coming the difficulty an extra force of
longshoremen was engaged and a sys-
tenn of five minute shifts established.
II was necessary to secure appliance
for the establishment of artificial cir
culation of fresh air through the hold
of the vessel before her cargo was dis
charged.
