SIMPLY AWAITING CONSERNA.
TION AND USE.
bitches Would Utilize a Great Deal Of
1t, While a Reservoir System Would
Greatly --ugment 1t.

w. o. Aiken Of Hamakuapoko, who
accompanied Land Commissioner Boyd
on most of the latter's tour Of Maui
speaks in the mo, enthusiastic terms
of the possibilities of water supply in
the Koolau district of Maui.
The Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company he says has a lease Of water
rights through Hamakualoa and has a
ditch which collects these waters and
carries them to the plantation. This
ditch extends as far east as Honomanu
gulch. Between Honomanu gulch and
Nahiku Mr.. Aiken says there is a more
abundant and perennial supply of water
than the region under lease to the Ha-
waiian Commercial and Sugar Com
pany. All il requires to utilize it is a
ditch to carry 1t to where it is needed.
The Hawaiian Commercial and Jugar
Companys ditch carries the water so
that can be utilized on all lands up
to an elevation of 80 feet. This water
supply could be greatly augmented by
an extension of this ditch through the
Koolau region. The waters of Kool\u u
could be utilized to irrigate lands high
er than 500 feet, but to do so would re-
quire that the ditch be carried at a
higher level and be extended through
Hamakualoa paralleling the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company's ditch
The rains are so constant in this re-
gion that bitches alone would conserve
an immense supply. This of course
could be greatly augmented by a system
reservoirs whenever the development
of the tributary region would warrant
the expense of such system.
Mr. Aiken says that Boyd's tour of
Maui was very thorough and complete,
and made more graphic than maps and
records alone could do the immense
amOu' of government land there is on
the Island of Maui

HAwAITs LAST MONUMENT FUND
RAISING.
Movement to Raise $4,000 Brought
Sl,SOO-A Bust without a Home OF
It's own

I'm the rooms Of the Nilohana Art Lea
que is a bronze bust of the late King
Kalakaua. which was the result of the
last efforts I'm raising funds for "a m1nu-
ment in Hawaii, by small subscriptions.
The movement, which has been recalled
by the effort now being made to secure
funds for a Mckinley memorial ended
in failure in spite of earnest efforts,
and the final result, a bronze bust in
stead of a $4,000 monument, is without
even home of its own.
In 1891 the movement to get a Kaia-
kaua monument was begun with Mark
L. Robinson as treasurer This was
shortly after the death of the King,
and it was thought that $4,000 would
be raised in subscriptions of 81 each.
gotten up, to be supplied to those VINO
made donations. There was diigenL
work throughout the Islands, but some
how or other the subscriptions did not
mount very high. After 81 500 had been
raised, the original project was abau-
doned, and it was decided that the
money on hand should be used for q
bust of the late king
The bust was offered TO the exc
cutive, to be given a niche in the capi-
tol building said Mark L. Robinson,
but we never got any reply to our offer.
The Kilohana Art League had a place
for the bust, and it was put in the lea
gue's rooms, where it remains today"
1t is thought that the smallness of the
subscriptions in the Kalakaua monu-
ment case was largely the reason for
the failure to get money enough. The
fact that 1880 people made subscrip-
uons showed a good deal of interest in
the project

MUST SHIP CREWs ToGErHER-

Shipping Commissioner Boyd has
adopted a rule requiring, in cases where
new crew is desired, that all of the
men be shipped at the same time He
says 1t Is a very annoying both to him
and the masters of vessels, to ship
sailors one at a time, only to have the
men desert by the time the entire crew
has been secured. In cases where only
a few men are desired, this rule does
not, of course, apply. Frank Turk has
about secured a crew for the ship Roa-
noke which will probably leave tomor-
row for San Francisco.

The local agents of the Japanese

that vessel was i'm port last month, her
officers said that orders have been is
sued from the head Office in Japan. to
reduce the running time in future and
arrive here on the morning of schedule
time instead of the afternoon before.
lnasmuch as the local agents were not
officially apprised of this order, ii is
possible that it will not go into effect
with the Nippon Maru.

swim ashore with a line, the vessel

There is a long cable running which
is attached to the vessels and used for
hauling freight to and from the boats.
This cable was attached to the Maui as
usual. Toward the latter part of her
stay at Papaaloa, the weather freshen-

parted. This swung the steamer
around. Captain Bennett saw that
there was danger of his boat being
swept onto tne rocks if he did not
move further out to sea, so the crew
was ordered to get loose from the wire
cable. They We're unable to execute
this order though, and finally the cable
had to be cut before the boat could be

MUST WIN STRIKE.
FEDERATION OF LABOR HELP
MORALLY AND FINANCIALLY.
Gompers Says the Contest Is One OF Prin-
cipie on the Part OF the strikers and An
Branches of Union Labor Must stand Up
for Fair and Right.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 10.-There
were gravely important developments
in the strike situation today. The
United States Steel corporation moved
decisively in its strike campaign order
directing that the great De Wees Wood
plant at Mckeesport be dismantled and
removed to the Kiskiminetas valley.
President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor after two days
conference with President Shaffer and
his associates, issued a formal state
ment tonight specifically pledging the
federation to the moral and financial
support of the Amalgamated associa-
ton
His written review of the train of
events leading to Industrial quarrels
sustains the course of the Amalgamat
ed association and decides that moth
ing remains but to battle for the cause
of unronism.
The official announcement OF the
order to dismantle the De Wees Mood
plant was a great surprise, and Nc
Keesport received it at first with
doubt. Actual preparations were made
later in the city for the dismanteling
and there is little room for doubt that
it will be torn down. The strikers
heard the order in spirit of defiance.
They simply said that it showed the
Steel corporation was convinced that
it could not reopen the plant in the
face of the opposition of the Amalga-
mated association. Strike leaders
here said that the order was bluff
that had been worked unnecessarily
before and declined to take it serious
ly.
The steel officials declined to give
any reason for the order, but 1t is
openly stated here that the pronounc-
ed sympathy of citizens and city of
ticials at McKeesport with the strik-
ers is responsible for it. 1t is also
said that the plant of the National
Tube company at McKeesport will be
abandoned and the old Carnegie plan
for tube plant at connaught, Ohio
revived
The De Wees Wood plant was found
ed about forty years ago and is one OF
the best known plants in Pennsyi-
vania. Its yards and mills cover be
tween twelve and fifteen acres; 1t has
employed 1900 men at its busiest tines
and its cost is placed at 100000 by
officials of the Steel corporation.

one to that on the Galveston ,hous-

have been due to partial failure of
the air brakes to perform their duty.

animal before, and whether 1t is a
cougar, a Mexican lion or some other
vicious wild animal cannot be deter
mined until it is killed. The beast in
habits thickets and jungle on Cypress

seeking what he may destroy. One
farmer, it is reported has lost twenty
five head of sheep; others have lost
hogs and young calves. He has been
seen by several reliable citizens, and
from their description 1t is evidently
an enormous cougar. Parties are or
ganizing to hunt the animal. Aber-

reward of $25 for the animal.
