WHAT is 1T WORTH?
Value of Water Plant Being Deter
mined by Experts.

The hydraulic engineers, Mr.. Follett
for the city and Mr. Cole for the water
company, began work this morning on
fixing the value of the water plant. They
will first take an inventory of the en-
gines, pumps, pipes, MIGRANTS, fittings
and buildings, and then Will examine
the pipes in order to ascertain the con-
dition they are in. This part of the
work they will do together but the value
of the different parts will be estimated
after the examination has been compile
ted, each engineer making his own es-
innate. After this has been done they
will compare estimates which should not
vary to any great amount, but If they
are unable to agree they will call a third
engineer according to the understanding
between the water company and the
council. The engineers could take the
books of the water company for the
amount and size of pipe that is in use,
but they will probably measure the dis
tance and dig holes to see that the pipe
is Of the size recorded. They will also
examine the mains to see the condition
they are in, as it is possible a portion of
them have been damaged by electro
lysis.
Mr. Cole will be here until the work of
taking the inventory is well underway
and then will leave for Chicago His
place will be taken by another engineer.
He will return in a short time and re-
sumo the work
There is about As miles of pipe that
must be inspected and it will require
some time to make a thorough examina-
ton of this alone

4 stranger in Hilo yesterday would
have gained the impression that some
volcanic assures were giving vent TO
their sulphurOus fumes from the con-
ditiOn Of the atmosphere, but such was
not the fact II all arose from the
fumigating department of the Post Of
fee. The bright and intelligent search
ers for microbes employed in that de-
partment on the arrival OF the "Kinau'
from Honolulu proceeded to fumigate
the letters and this is how they went
about it: Each envelope was cut open,
the contents placed in one pile and the
envelopes in another. The same course
was pursued even in open packages
such as newspapers, the paper in one
pile and the wrapper in another.
When the fumigating was completed
the fun began. The letters had be-
come mixed. and 50 had the brilliant
corps of officials, and all day was spent
over the mail trying 10 find which let
ter belonged in this, or that, envelope,
Meantime merchants, doctors, lawyers,
beggarmen and the rest were lowering
around waiting for their mail and II il
needless to repeat, if possible, what
was the burden of the song OF that
bowling pOpulace. For long ears and
an asinine intellect the HilO postal
force are number ! in official cake
walks. When the "Kinau" left for your
port the muddle was yet in a long way
from settlement

From Private { O lrees.


The following letter from a resident
to a friend in this city shows what HI
lOites car 90 when they really get ex-
cited:
WORDS are inadequate to describe
conditions here. Was present at meet
ing in Sheriff's Office until a. m. last
night. They adopted quarantine regI-
latiOns week ago closing all ports but
HilO. Merchants sent for food supplies
per Kinau; in the meantime people
learned Of several deaths in your city
and 1900 signed petition in one day 20
close the Island ports against every
thing from Honolulu til thirty days
after last case had disappeared" Then
Sheriff Andrews was notified that they
were prepared 70 resort 20 violence If
anything, or person, from the Kinau
was allowed ashore. Mr.. Wilson of the
Volcano Stables is the ringleader of
malcOntents. \ new set of regulations
closing the port for ten days and longer
if the news continued unfavorable went
into effect yesterday. The Kinau was
ordered to return at once. At the meet
ing last night Mr.. Scott. a plantation
manager, and representative Of Hack
field q Co. Davies q Co, HilO Mercan-
tile Co., and other plantation managers
represented that their visible food sup
ply would last about two weeks. They
were reckoning on no change in the
regulations and planned accordingly.
The Kinau is loaded with food sup
plies which by the new regulations will
be returned. There was a hot time in
the meeting. They finally agreed to
quarantine the rice on COcOanut Island
and fumigata it there. Threats of viO-
lence fill the air and morning is awaited
with some trepidition. All law abiding
citizens will stand by the Sheriff but
Firebrand Wilson is leading the
ignorant rabble. / Obtained about
two hours sleep las. night. At a. m.
parties tried to sound the fire alarm
and thus get their crowd together. a
watchful Deputy promptly cut the con-
nectiOns and the agreed upon signal
was not given. At daylight crowds of
excited people were on the street, but
cooler counsel began 10 prevail. The
Kinau was allowed to unload rice into
Lighters. Mail has been fumigated six
hours. The Post Office is roped OF.
every person has TO remove envelopes
and wrappers and burn them ere leav-
ing Office. Charcoal fires are provided
under control Of police for that purpose.
Mr. Andrews told them last night that
order must prevail and his instructions
be carried out, peacefully il possible.
fOrcibly if necessary. II necessary .
shoot he would shoot"
The crisis is passed til another boat
comes from Honolulu. Mr.. Andrews told
me this morning that IL would prob
ably be ten days or two weeks ere an
other boat would come over. or that he
would request the authorities not to
permit one to leave for that length OF
time He is one of the coolest men IN

arily Of fiery temper. / admire the man
for the wisdom displayed when others
lost their heads.
