were now tPking branch to the shore
margin to assure a supply of water for
the pump. A mason was already en-
gagged in putting down the foundations.
The distance from high water to the
camp was so great that it would be
necessary to use 1O-inch well casing in
stead of the finch pipe which was at
first calculated upon; sufficient of the
10-inch well casing has been secured
for the purpose.

dations for the first four buildings

! fumigated.

trio light plant will be put up by

Detention Camp Notes.
The builders did no work at the Ka-
lihi detention camp yesterday; but the
lumber men put on extra drays and
carted so much lumber out that it will
allow a double force of carpenters to
work today, when the committee hope
to have fifty carpenters employed.
Kerr & Smith worked gangs of car
penters yesterday at both the rifle
range and the kerosene warehouse sta
ton.
The rifle range building has been
floored, ceiled and divided into rooms
II by 16 feet in size. A veranda has
also been placed on the makai side,
and kitchen, closets and baths for pa
tients and attendants added. Water
has also been laid on. This arrange
ment will give ten rooms for patients
besides an Office and other rooms for
attendants. The work was nearly
completed yesterday. The building
will hereafter be used as the plague
hospital, and all cases will be cared
for there. The three cases now ct the
old saluting battery will be removed
to the new hospital today.
The fifty Japanese carpenters, who
came from Chinatown, and who are
working under Kerr & Smith, finished
one building at the Kakaako station
yesterday, and will complete another
today. Each of these buildings will
accommodate $50 persons. They are
to be used for those taken from infect
ed buildings. There are already 100
