ing In Chicago had to be cut during re-
pairs TO make room for a steel column

WHAT CAMPBELL SAYS.

Marston Campbell. Road Supervisor
ascertain the extent OF the damage done.
In Palama ne found most of the district
Inundated. Many of the houses had a
foot of water resting on the floors.
In Kewalo the entire district was a wal
low of mud and dirty water which had
collected from every street in the city
Waikiki Of Fort street. Not a house
there escaped. The sewer trenches be-
came the natural beds of water-course
during the storm and were washed away
or filled in with deposit of mud. Kaka-
ako was served in the same manner as
Kewalo.
Along Beretania and King streets he
found filth and mud spread thickly. He
will put all the teams possible on these
thoroughfares today to scrape off the de-
bris.
Fort street was an object lesson by
which the Government should profit. Dur
ing the storm at noon and the one In the
evening the street was filled with rush.
ing freshet from curb to curb. most OF
which was diverted into Queen street
which became impossible for pedestrians.
Mr.. Campbell says that the freshet on
Fort street and the terrible condition
which prevailed at the corner of Fort and
King streets should cause the Government
to put in catch basins to carry Off the
surface water.
Waikiki received its share of rain and
valley freshets. 1t is a peculiar coinci-
dence that the storm which occurred last
year on March S, while the Princess Kaiu-
lani was lowering between life and death,
and which inundated Honolulu district un-
der a sheet of water, should be repeated
yesterday, the anniversary of her birth.
The cellar of Hart & Co., in the Elite
building, was flooded last evening, but
the water was pumped into the cesspool
later in the evening.
The Queens Hospital premises were
flooded. A torrent nearly two feet deep
rushed down Miller street. joining anoth-
er which came down Punchbowl street,
and both turned into the beautiful prem
ises- There was no opportunity for pc
destrians to cross from one street to an
other In any of the district above Bere-
tan'a street. Much of the damage to
property will be in the deposits of mud

TORRENTS OF WATER.

At the Eva end of Vineyard street
bridge the street department has raised
the street Inc 3 al feet above the prem
wall slopes downward until it makes a de-
pressIoiI of at ieast three feet below the
rest of the wall. The waters poured over
TINS low wal INTO the premises of Ahoo.
the Livery man, and filled his stable with
three feet of water. The high street pre-
vented the flood from making any head
way on the makai side.
Great torrents came rushing down
Vineyard street from Ewa-wards and
sweeping over on the mauka side, tore
away part of the roadway and under
mined the supports of many buildings
and stables on the sidewalk. The Japan

work as their country men had done at

gerous, giving way under the least press
ure and precipitating several of the work
men knee deep in the holes.
On the Waikiki side of the stream above
the Vineyard street bridge the sidewalk
was undermined and the earth beneath
the embankment gave way. The side
walk disappeared into the stream. the
stone wall forming perfect arch.
At the Judd street culvert there was
considerable danger to the new structure
on account of the false work beneath be-
ing exposed to the torrent. The street de-
partment intended taking away the false
work today, but they were saved the
trouble. The torrent swept the timbers
down the stream and into the sea- The
culvert was not damaged.

Of Mr.. Sanford is creditable one, but it
was very widely admitted that Senator
Wall had well earned reappointment.

Bradford w. r. ~,

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, so much;
neck, so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Devoe lead and
zinc is the porterhouse. Nobody
wants the neck; the between some say
is good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead and oil is between;
it is the old fashioned paint. But zinc
has come in. Zinc toughens white
lead. Devoe lead and zinc is the paint.
If you paint in three years, you do
it for looks. Devoe does not wear out
in three years.
Yours truly,
