SEWERSPlER IS
WASHED AWAY
A High Surf Carries OF the
Outer End
Of 1t.

Through the failure of the Legisla :
ture to appropriate money for the com
pletion of the sewer outfall, and the
consequent turning of the attention OF
the Public Works Department to other
matters. there has resulted some loss
to the Territory The high surf of
last week, following the tidal wave
washed away from 300 to 500 feet of the
pier which had been used in the con-
struction of the pipe line to deep wa
ter. No damage was done to the out
fall pipes.
The breaking down of the pier drew
the attention of the officials TO It, now
ever, and as result the dismantling
was begun. The timbers which were
washed from the place We're not lost,
but being tied together by the railroad
line, have been floating in the water
The men of the street department
have now begun to recover the lumber
and to take up the rails all along the
pier. These rails will be used in the
street department in the pushing of
work. 1t is believed that when the
work of the extension of School street
through to Kalihi is taken up it will
be possible to lay a track from the
quarry to the site of the principal fills
and thus do the work at a much re-
duced cost.
The necessary sounding to find the
depth of the fills and the size of the
entertainments which must be placed
along the route of School street extern
sion, are now being made. For a large
part of the extension from Liliha street
to the Asylum road the street will
cross rice and taro patches. and the
result is that the ground is so soft that
there will be vast amount of mate
rial needed to carry through the work.
Nothing will be done until it has been
settled just how much filling is TO be
put into these swampy grounds, ana
then the quetsion of financing the work
will be gone into and settled at once.

Iroquois to Search
for Oregon's
Anchor.
Capt. Pond Has a Crap.
ping Hook Ready
for Business.

n APTAIN POND of the United
States tug Iroquois is preparing
~ to search for the anchor of the
United States battleship Oregon which
was lost at the anchorage grounds near
the mouth of the channel while the ia
nous bulldog of the Navy was here a
few months ago en- route to. San Fran
cisco from Manila.
Yesterday afternoon heavy Crap
ping iron with four prongs was sent
down to the Naval dock and sent
aboard the tug. The recovery Of the
anchor depends entirely upon the use
fulness of the grapple in obtaining d
good grip upon it. When the Oregon
essayed TO. pull the ponderous 1uke iron
aboard after nights anchorage out
side the anchor refused to part com
pany with the coral formation with
which it had become entangled. The
coral would not give way, the anchor
held firmly and despite every effort of
the crew aided by her powerful winches
nothing would bulge. When the Ore
gnn steamed into he harbor she was
minus her anchor. An effort was made
TO get it out but to no purpose. The
location is we'll marked in general
way and Captain Pond will probably
have no difficulty in ascertaining its
exact whereabouts. ,.a-.-

it has been foreseen that Bremerton

fact that several leading officers of the

her builders intended forty years ago
