NEWS OF THE WATERFRONT
Oahu Sugar Cos
Monster ScOW
Launched.

r. HERE was little or no ceremony
attached to the launching of the
q great lotion scow just built for
the Oahu Sugar Company. The scow
was launched from the shore near the
Eva end of the Mauka railway wharf
on the Oahu Railway lands. The mon
ster scow made her plunge, bobbed up
serenely and then suffered herself to be
moored alongside the wharf where she
will remain until the dredger has com
pleted the work of deepening the harbol
at that point, whence she will be toweG
out through the harbor and channel t.
Pearl Harbor, her future home. There
was no breaking of bottle of cham
payne on her bow, for she has no bow
to speak of; no beautiful maiden christ
ened her, for the scow has no name as
yet. 1t is just "scow," that's all.
Yesterday the workmen made the
craft ready for her initial plunge. The
ways were laid up during the day and
we'll creased. The creased runners were
inserted underneath the scow and laid
upon the ways. Upon these were placed
the false work upon which the scow

stakes on the shore. Shortly after
O. o'clock, when the tide was well in,
with the moonlight streaming full upon
the scene, the persons most interested
in witnessing the successful launching
made ready to cast loose. The foreman,
G. Hughes, who superintendent the
work, which took but five weeks to ac-
complish, was the man who released the
freighter With a swish and a bound
the enormous bulk of heavy timbers
slid down the ways without jar or
jolt. When the water was reached the
scow took to it naturally and after an
instant's submersion slowly settled on
the bosom of the narrow channel,
she was towed over to the rail-
way dock and moored.
This scow, the largest ever construct
ed here, is 80 feet s inches long, A feet
a carrying capacity of 500 tons She
will be fitted with four sets of railroad
tracks, so that tWenty-four plantation
cars loaded with cane can be carried.
The ends of the scow are cut away to
certain extent to allow for the insertion
of wharf apron at the landings. Fifty
thousand feet of lumber were used in
her construction She will ply between
Ford's Island and WaipiG landing in
nection with the Oahu Sugar Company.

Competition in Transportation.

The president of the Japan Mail

has announced to his stockholders that
they are confronted with the prospect
Of immediate and most alarming COM
petition, says the Chronicle editorially
He refers not only to the great influx

much worse, the competition of the

all the same, if active rustling for bust
ness will accomplish it. Russia will
take no chances of private steamship
owners favoring the Siberian route, but
proposes to run her own steamers from
the railroad terminals to all ports
where business exists or can be de-
veloped.
The Russian government will make
very dangerous competitor in the

The ordinance which was adopted by
the people yesterday calls for the issu-
ance of $50, 900 worth of bonds to defray
the cost of erecting new school build
ings at Central Benwood and the juno
ton. The polls opened at seven O'Clock
yesterday morning and closed at six
last evening, with the result that very
large vote was polled. The three-ffths
vote which was necessary to carry the
measure was exceeded by 342 votes,
which showed that the people were
heartily in favor of the movement.
The new building in Benwood will be
erected on the site of the present cen
trail school building, which is In a very
dilapidated condition and had been re-
peatedly condemned by the authorities.
The new building to be erected at the
junction is to replace the old one-story
building which has served for a num-
Der OF years as a school building, but
which at no time was ever suitable for
the work. For the past several weeks
the prominent people of the city inter
ested in its educational advantages have
been hard at work, and the results OF
yesterday were ample reward for their
trouble.

Negro was more intelligent and pros
porous than he is at the dawn or the
twentieth century, there was certainly
a time when he was more ignorant and
barbarOus than at the present day. In
the early days of history we see the
progenitors OF the twentieth century
NeSre building great temples IN the
Valley of the Nile. All the science and
learning of ancient Greece and Rome
were probably once in the hands of the
forefathers of the twentieth century
Negro.
If so. we are the descendants of a
race of people once the most powerful
on earth-the race of the Pharoahs.
The present condition of the African is
the result of the fall of the Egyptian
Empire. That the fOreparents of the
twentieth century Negro were once
great people is shown by their natural
love for the fine arts. They are poetic
by nature, and the wonderful regard
of native Africans for truth and virtue
is surprising, and fixes great gulf
between them and other savage peo-
pies. There was a time when the
Blacks were known to be so gentle TO
strangers that many believed that the
gods sprang from them.
The first Negroes of the American
colonies were landed at jamestown,
Virginia. in the year 1919. They were
imported from the west coast of Afri-
ca. and were first used in the colonies
to cultivate tobacco. When imported
they were crowded. into holds OF the
ships and often suffered for food anC
drink. The ancestors OF the twentieth
century Negro, though savage in some
respects, were not so bad as many peo
pie think
The Jamestown slaves were doomed
to servitude and ignorance both by Law
and custom. They were not allowed
to vote, and could not be set free ever
by their masters, except for some merl
tOriOus service. There were also free
Negroes of Jamestown. but these wer
