NUUANUs WATER SUPPLY.
Tunnelling In Vicinity Of Luakaha
Should Tap Larger Streams.

Whenever il rains in town people
always think that enough rain has fall
en- up Nuuanu valley 20 more than nj
all three reservoirs" said Water Com
missioner Brown as he answered tel
ephonic kick from an frate resident on
the slopes of Punehbowl. Old residents
know better than to believe that be-
cause rain has fallen in a deluge in the
city that Nuuanu valley. above the res
ervoirs, has been drenched as well.
During the transforms OF last week
very little extra water was gathered
into the three reservoirs. The fact was
that the rain fell below the reservoirs
instead of above.
A visit to the weir at the head of the
reservoir system disclosed the fact that
million gallons of water per day were
flowing over the weir into the pipes
leading 10 the reservoirs. Had II not
been that the Water Commissioner had
tunneled into the mountain at Luakaha
and discovered a stream OF water sufi-
cient to fill a 4-inch pipe, the quantity
would have been very much smaller.
This supply was carefully boarded in
reservoirs two and three during the
day, and at night was sent over the
electric light power wheel and thence
into reservoir No. 4, where it was
ready for water users on the slopes in
the morning. By this means the cleo
trio street lights were kept burning for
nearly four hours for three OF four
nights.
The Water Commissioner states he
has been closely observing the noun
tain sides at Luakaha and has noted
the places which look damp when there
has been no rainfall for some time.
These places he believes will supply
water. blast OF two after tunnelling
in short distances would probably
tap the mountain water supply and
thus preclude the possibility of a fam
inc during the coming summer months
II is the opinion of Mr.. Brown that
very little rain will fall during these
months, and there is no telling what
sources of the present supply will give
out. Residents of the valley and slopes
above Honolulu are kept on a short
water supply continually, and kicks
pile up in the Water Commissioner
office daily. II filtration plant is to
be established for the valley water.
more sources of supply should first be
found and made use of.
Tunnelling for water is to be under
taken at the Honolulu plantation
shortly, and success has been attained
on the McBryde and Waianae
A prominent resident
states that there is almost a certainty
OF large water supply being encoun-
tered by tunnelling toward the Pail.
and double the amount of the present
supply could be obtained at a very
small cost, depending largely upon the |
class Of laborers used.

M'VEIGH,s SURPRISE
Late Employees at Kalihi Camp
Make Presentation.

y magnificent silver tea service was
presented Saturday night to Jack
McVeigh, superintendent of Kalihi de-
tention camp, the gift Of the employees
Of the camp as a mark Of their high
regard for the genial superintendent.
and as closing incident Of the career
OF the camp as a station for the unfor-
tunates of the plague visitation.
As usual, the presentation was a
complete surprise. McVeigh was sent
TO a distant part of the camp on a
trivial preteXt and during his absence
the employees crowded in and around
the main Office bearing the silver SER
vice. On McVeigh's return he discern
ed the crowd and thought a riot was in
progress. Rushing pellmeu into the
midst of the grinning men to suppress
the supposed trouble, he was surprised
when a spokesman stepped forward and
made neat speech of presentation.

REFORM FOR HONOLULU.
Secret Meeting of Clergy and Busi

Mystery characterized the special

Invitations were sent out on Satur-
day by the committee calling the meet

sons of Honolulu, a large number re-

stood, was a success in more ways than
large attendance.
The committee. consisting of the
Revs. w. NJ. Kincaid, John c. Hay and

evil problem. and being about ready to

ton Of the business community in the
plans TO which their work of fnvestiga-
ton has led them. The help of the
business men has been secured in the
matter, this much at any rate has been
made public, and the committee now
sees its way clear 10 the achievement of
It's plans. What these are those pres

mature nOtOriety in the matter would

OLAA PLANTATION, March 10Th
William Mann, the head luna of Paha-
la plantation, was in Olaa last week
in the course OF a trip of observation
he is making among the plantations OF
the Island. Mr.. Mann has been in the
sugar business for years and his judg-
ment in such lines is considered val
liable. He spent two days at Olaa. and
under the chaperonage of Manager Nc
Stocker, Peter McRae, Ed. Soper and
Z. A. Koran, OF the company, visited
every division OF the estate and was
in the field during the major part OF
his stay, taking cognizance practically
Of all that was doing and has been
done.
IN an after conversation with the
writer Mr.. Mann said:
II have been over the principal cane
fields on Hawaii and have seen moth
ing that excels. ard but little that
equals, Olaa. When / left the upper
fields of Pahala, $500 feet higher than
here, there was a lack of rain and |
wondered how the low-landers were
going to pull out. The strong and
healthy appearance of cane in sight
here, the condition of the land I have
gone over-particularly that from the
l3-mile tract up to the 20-mile tract
and what | have seen of the planting
In progress warrant me in saying, ad-
visedly, that every expectation OF the
management should be fulfilled. Why
There Is no better land on the Island
than the upper tracts of Olaa. and the
showing Of the lower districts is over
good. With such conditions in Olaa
believe that the yield of the first crop
will practically silence the tongues of
that class Of experts who pass judgment
on what they see as they drive by on
the road and glance over a plantation
fence once in while"

Mis.Issippi,s Muddy streams .


Old settlers sfiirm that when Missis-
sippi was first settled by whitemen the
water courses were a clear, pallucid
blue, and rarely ever muddy. The
most casual observer can but note the
scarcity OF clear, running water in this
section Of country, and the almost con-
tinual murlxy condition Of our brooks,
creeks and rivers. The cause Of this
change is easily found, From almost
every neighboring hillside pours tor
rents Of soil-laden waters with every
rainfall. Cleared OF their natural pro
lection Of timber with their interlacing
roots, sloping lands and hillsides are
soon unfit for cultivation and, unless
sodded with a hardy grass, ale washed
into unsightly gulIies. Lands which
would have returned excellent profit
for growing timber for posts and fire
wood, and at the same time afforded
fine pasture for stock and other cattle,
are thus permanently ruined. This
reckless waste Of land win eventually

Renaflts from Dairying.

The benefits from dairying are
So various that an experienced
farmer does not recognize one
half their value. The grain or
cotton farmer counts the cash in
hand from the sale of bis crops as
SO much profit, and never stops to
figure whether his land is better or
worse. his implements by use de-
preclated in value, or his horses
or mules one year nearer the final
limit of usefulness. He lives only
ii the present, with no eye to the
future, and under such system
no business, not even farming, will
always pay > profit. Thus it has
come to be s'known and read of
ali men, that at least some intelll-
gence and forethought must be
shown. even in farming, to reap
success. The most successful
farmer has always been that one
