LA PALOMA TO BE RERIGGED.

Clarence w. Macfarlane is having the
mahogny woodwork of the cabin of the
La Paloma," as well as the rest of
her vanished timber, scraped prepara-
tory to revarnishing. Mr. Stone the
designer of the schooner yacht. was
Mr.. MaCfarlane's guest at Pearl Harbor
yesterday and Cruised round the loChs
in the vapor launch. Mr.. Stone is over
looking the La Paloma" with a view
of converting her into a yawl rig. This
is a practical scheme and will probably
be carried through. The fore mast will
be allowed to remain in place while the
mainmast and its immense boom will
be discarded, jgger mast taking its
place.
Mr.. Macfarlane will endeavor to sufIi-
ciently clean the sides of the yacht to
sail her down to Honolulu for over
hauling and re-rigging, but if, as seems
probable, the sea grass and barnacles
on her bottom make her too foul to
steer he will have her towed into the
home harbor.
The La Paloma has been out of COM
mission for several months and her bot
tom is probably covered with a regular
Neptune's Beard of weed to say nothing
of barnacles and other impedimenta.

KOHALA-HILO AFFAIRS.

A Hilo business man in San Francis
co writes to a frind here that he had
seen one of the hackers of the proposed
Kohala-Hilo railroad and was told by
him that the construction of the road
was assured. Some details remained
to be perfected and when finished work
on the road would begun. 1t is said
that f. NJ. Swanzy will have a confer

"A MISTAKE IN PUBLIC LANDS
ACREAGE.
Delegate Wilcox Places the Amount of
a Million Acres.

Delegate Wilcox is said to have taken
with him to Washington a complete
list of the several parcels of public
lands in the Territory, big and little,
together with a brief description of
each parcel, the name of the lessee If
leased, together with the rental paid
and the date of the expiration of the
lease. 1t is stated that his purpose is
to present it to the Interior depart
ment and make it the basis of his pub
lie land policy efforts in Congress.
If he has taken the figures he is said
to have taken he will be distributing
misinformation about the territory as
detrimental to the territory as that he
was distributing at the last session.
Prof. Curtis j. Lyons of the survey
department calls attention to one error
OF over half million acres in the state
ments of area which Wilcox is said to
have taken with him. This occurs in
the description of the tract of land in
Hilo district leased to John L. Baker,
the lease expiring in 1921. The area OF
this tract according to the wilcox hg-
ures is $1,000. Prof. Lyons after con-
sulting the survey office record says
the correct figures are $3.50 acres or a
difference of more than half million.
The larger and incorrect figure has
gone all through the computation for
the entire territory.
There is not in the whole area of
Hilo District $4,000 acres of land. The
entire area of the Island of Hawaii is
in round numbers 2,570,000 acres, and
Hilo by no means constitutes one ttth
of the island.
Making this correction the govern
ment lands of the territory amount to
1856, 400 acres instead of to 2,SSl, ,l2C
acres as Wilcox has it, which agrees
with the amount reported to the senate
by the Hawaiian commission.
Land Commissioner Il. S. Boyd says
that in the figures he gave Delegate
Wilcox this error did not occur, but
that he gave the correct figure o',zS'
acres as the tract in Hilo District uh-
der lease to John T. Baker.

ENGINEERS ON THE TRANSPORT
MEADE QUIT.
Vessel Could Not Get Away on Time
And Lay in Stream over Night Be-
fore Sailing.

The transport Meade, Captain Will
son, arrived off Diamond Head last
night from San Francisco and anchored
until this morning, when she entered
! the harbor. The vessel was to have left
San Francisco on Saturday, November
16 but owing to a strike of the engineers
! the sailing was delayed until o'clock
the morning of November II. Although
the boat left San Francisco day later
than the regular mail steamer, she
brought no later news. for the reason
that there was no communication be-
tween the Meade and the shore, after
she anchored off Meigg's wharf.
Owing to some kind of disagreement
between the chief engineer and the first
assistant engineer on one hand and the
transport people on the other, both of
those men were discharged. The three
other engineers refused to work unless
the men were reinstated and after some
discussion quit work, out of sympathy
with their superiors. The strike Grip
pied the vessel seriously, and, as the
men had gone out only the day before
she was to have sailed, the managers
of the transport service had to work
pretty lively, to secure other men to
supply the places, so that the boat could
get out. Not until the places of the
strikers We're supplied could the trans
port sail.
The chief engineer fthe City of
Para finally was secured to take charge
of the engine room of the transport and
| in addition, another engineer from the
| Pacific Mail fleet was secured. The
| first and third and fourth assistants
were taken from the transport Sher-
man, which was then lying in port. The
new men went aboard the Meade about
noon on November 16 and she pulled
away from the wharf. within a couple
| of hours and anchored down the stream
over night to enable the new force to
| become acquainted with the engine
| room.
A fair trip was experienced from San
! Francisco the run being made in a
| little over seven days. Among the pas
| sengers on the vessel are Captain G.,
| McWilliamson who comes to relieve

this place. Lieutenant Davis is also

MMGmMM M@R CASE WNME WATER SUPPLY FEDERAL GRAND JURY DELAYED ANMN WMm
UNITED STATES AGAINST THE
BISHOP ESTATE.
Examinations of Jurors Are quite
Lengthy-Other Cases to Have the
Right of Way.

The trial of the case of the United
States against the estate of Bernice
Pauahi Bishop was begun this morning
in Judge Estee's court 1t is the first
of the Pearl harbor land condemnatio
suits, being an action to condemn lands
at Pearl harbor which are owned by the
Bishop estate and wanted by the gov
ernment for it's naval station. District
Attorney j. j. Dunno appeared for the
government and w. A. Kinney for the
Bishop estate.
The proceedings this morning indi-
Gated that getting jurors will take some
time. Dunno had many questions to
ask, and when the noon hour came the
first twelve men called had not yet been
examined. They are: ]. II. Copeland,
j. D. Holt, j. A. Byrne, w. e. Skinner,
Harry F. Davidson, Philip Friedman,
w. H. Barth l.. B. Wood, w. c. Hol-
linger, r. E. Lockwood. e. e. Mossman,
John Callahan.
The prospective jurors were question
ed as to their knowledge of land values
at Pearl harbor and in Honolulu, as to
whether they owned any real estate in
either place and also as to whether they
owned any stock in the many corpora
tions, sugar plantations and others,
against which suits similar to that
against the Bishop estate have been
brought. For the defense Kinney
sought to know if the jurors were con-
nected with the federal government in
any way, in addition to the usual list
of questions.
Judge Estee announced that from now
on the Pearl harbOr cases would have
the right of way. Other matters will
have to wait for them, except very ur-
gent matters, and the court is likely to
be busy for some weeks with the con-
demnation suits.

CARGO OF COAL ON FIRE
OVERDUE SHIP ROANOKE AR
RIVES TODAY.
Been Fighting Fire in Her Cargo Since
November 12-Bound for San Fran
cisco With Coal

After being out 163 days the ship
Roanoke arrived from Norfolk Va
this morning with her cargo of coal on
fire. The greatest alarm is felt for the
vessel on the Mainland and quite a
high rate of insurance is now offered
on her. When she was out 154 days
the rate had advanced to 20 per cent
and it is now much more.
The vessel left Norfolk, June 10 bound
for San Francisco. She experienced
head winds most of the way to the
Cape, with an occasional gale. She was
26 days going round Cape Horn. On
November II, in latitude 16 degrees
north, longitude 121 degrees west, fire
was discovered on the starboard side
in the lower hold, just about the break
of the poop. The smoke and gas was
pouring through the air streaks, about
five beams width. There was very lit
tie room in which to work. Mate
Mockson crawled down and located the
fire.
The crew cut through the pump well
and put a force pump at work throw
ing water mixed with marble dust, in
to the hold, flooding the hold to a depth
of Az feet There was a strong north
northeast breeze, and as the ship was
leaking badly it was decided to put to
Honolulu. The fire seemed to be out
November 10. On November IS, the
fire broke out again but was gotten
under control.
The cargo will be discharged here.
1t consists of 5000 tons of coal, con-
signed to the United States navy de-
partment.

FAIL TO LIVE BY BREAD ALONE
Bakers Claim There Is No Profit IN
Staff of Life.

A failure of local firm was brought
home quite closely to several mousse
holds the latter end of last week, when
Nthe German Bakery Succumbed to high
prices on the one hand and low prices
on the other and went out of business.
The German Bakery, which has lately
been conducted by Schneider, who mar
ried the widow of the original founder
of the business; has been In existence
for some time and has achieved quite
a reputation for it's products. Mrs.
Schneider superintended the actual
bakery and it was her light hand at
pastry that helped to build up the
trade.
Some little while ago a scheme for a
combination of all local bakeries was
attempted and Schneider was the one
most bitterly opposed to the scheme.
Since then loaves have been selling at
thirty for a dollar and it is claimed that
with flour at two cents, expense OF
fuel labor horses and wagons, left
over bread, and bad collections there is
no money in loaf making or in other
words that local bakers cannot live by
bread alone" but must make his profit
in other branches of the pastry cook S
and confectioners business.
The bakery stopped making bread be-
cause there was no money in 1t. There
We're rumors that the output was stop
ped through illness but this proves un-
founded
Several householders are feeling
somewhat disgruntled through their
having bread tickets that still call for
loaVes of bread. The indebtedness of
the bakery is said not to have been
great and every endeavor will be made
to settle in full with the creditors.

CLAD AS NATURE MADE HIM.

A drunken sailor from one of the
ships in the harbor disturbed the dig
nifty of the U. S. Naval wharf No.
shortly before o'clock this morning
by appearing upon it after having
swum across from an adjoining slip in
a state of complete nudity.
The sentry escorted him aboard the
Solace where he was provided with a
pair of old canvas trousers and warned
off the wharf.
The drunken man who could talk lit
tie better than he could walk was ex-
tremely affable and insisted on shaking
hands with all the sentries before he
left. His back and arm were badly
scraped from clambering on to the
wharf and he seemed totally oblivious
of his free and easy costume. On being
elected from the naval wharf he walk
ed off In a contented frame of mind
and Joined two of his companions in
the Inter-Island yards who insisted on
dressing him in his own clothes much
against his will.

THE VOLCANO ROAD.

HILO, November ga. E. Sutton,
who came down from the Kilauea
Stock and Dairy Company's lands at
29 miles on Sunday, reports the Vol
cano road above Mountain View in a
very bad condition. In many places
and for long stretches the top dressing
is entirely washed away leaving the
bare rocks to drive over. In the vicin-
ity of 19 miles where the damage was
greatest the cause was the rainfall and
not the flow from the Olaa Sugar Co. s

toward the pahoehoe and not on the

THE GOVERNMENT TO SEND AN
ENGINEER.
Problem of Conserving and Using the
Vast Quantities of Water That Now
Run to Waste,

AS a result of the recommendation
in the annual report just presented at
Washington by Secretary Cooper, the
Interior department will send a hy-
draulic engineer here in the near flu
ture to investigate the problem of con-
servation of the water supply through
out the islands. The Secretary at
Washington showed much interest in
the matter, says Cooper, and stated
that he would send a competent en-
gineer to look into it, before the mat
ter was presented to Congress.
In his report Cooper stated that
much water which was running to
waste in the sea, might be of great
value if conserved. it might make fer
tile land of thousands of acres now al
most useless. The situation was re-
presented as furnishing good opportun-
tiles for scientific work on the lines of
conserving the water supply, and ac-
ton was asked for by Congress to pro-
vide for such work. 1t was also rec
commended by Cooper that licenses be
granted for the construction of water
systems, that would aid in this work,
such action to be taken by Congress
as was necessary for the purpose
"The secretary was much interested
in the problem of conservation of the
water supply here" said Cooper, land
stated that he would see that COM
petent engineer was sent to visit the
Territory and examine and report to
Congress. The engineer will make a
thorough examination of the problem
on all the Islands and will report be-
fore Washington takes any steps in the
matter. l do not know when the en-
gineer will come, but understand that
it is likely to be very soon.
1T is hoped that the visit of the en-
gineer will result in action that will re-
claim large areas of land now useless,
| by making use of water that now flows
into the sea, and is of no value to any
| one"
