HOLE-IN-T N-THE-WALL
TO BE A WAGON Road

Denver. Jan. IA Casper, Wyoming,
special says the county commissioners
Of Johnson county will appropriate
money with which to blow out a por-
tiOn of the famous and notorious Hole
in-the-Wall wall. At present the en-
trance 10 the HOle-in- the-Wall valley
Is so small that wagons cannot pass
and a portion Of the red wall will be
blown away and the roadway wild
ened. The wall is n huge pile of rock,
rising to a height of several hundred
feet and extending for distance of
several miles north and south. Its
sides are perpendicular in places and
there is only one way to enter the
HOle-in-the-Wall valley, which is now
settled by prosperous ranching pop
ulatlon. This entrance, or cut through
the wall, was formed by the action of
the water Of small stream.
In the early days when bands of cat
tie rustlers and outlaws infested GEN.
tral Wyoming they used the Hole-in-
the-Wall valley as u rendezvous, the
stolen cattle being driven through the
narrow crevice in the wall Once in
side the thieves were safe and while
one Of two outlaws guarded the narrow
entrance the brands were changed and
the stock made ready to ship AS late
as 1897 the Hole-in-the-Wall country
was used as Il hiding place by crimi-
nails, for here they were furnished
with food and horses by several ranch
men who were IN league with the out
laws. During the past few years, how
ever, the criminal element has disap-
peared and the Hole-in-the- Wall would
now be very poor place in which to
seek hiding place from officers of the
law.

Will Ask Help for Boers.

Brussels, Jan. THE Rev. Mr..
Broekhuysen returns as a Boer propa-
gandist to the United States about the
middle Of January. He will probably
be accompanied by Abraham Fischer,
the leader Of the Boer delegates who
visited the United States III May,
1900.
The clergyman's accounts of the sue
cess Of his mission and his representa-
tions in regard to important sugges-
tons from responsible American quar-
ters have created the belief among Mr..
kruger's encourage that encouraging
results could be obtained by the dis
patch of another delegation.
The Rev. Mr.. Broekhuysen says he
and other propagandists have collected
In America $4,000. This is more than
the Beers have received from any othe.
source. The clergyman also asserts
that number of senators and govern
ment officials in the United States have
encouraged him to pursue his work and
charged him to congratulate Mr.. Kru-
ger in their behalf on the successes the
Beers have obtained against the Brit
ish.

Now Danger for Miss Stone.

Constantinople, Jan. 1.-The news
that the brigands holding Miss Stone
captive are being hustled by the inhab-
ttants Of Turkish territory, where they
are said to be in hiding, has created a
sensation here. A deadly feud is said
to exist between the leaders of the hos
tile bands, some of whom are report
ed to have deserted and as attempting
to re-enter Bulgaria. Much anxiety is
felt here with regard to the outcome Of
these developments.
The American legation here has not
vet received news from NJ. Gargiuol,
the dragoman Of the legation, who left
Salonika for the interior the hitter part
of last month, with the purpose of ne
gotiating with Miss Stones captors
Members Of the legation say the ru-
mors Of Miss Stones release are quite
unfounded. No direct news have been
received from the American captive

HAWAIIAN SINGERS ARE

The Washington Post in a recent is

Hawaiian singers, who have been in

were in Washington for a while last
winter:
Thousands in the Capital during the
last six months have been charmed by
the melody of group of dark-hued
visitors, the melody of far-off Hawaii
The auditors have noted its strange
sweetness, its Iangurous tenderness, its
soothing softness. and then again, at
times. its wild, weird notes. There have
been the telling of joy and the touch of
gayety in it, but there has been, too,
something telling of melancholy. a
-yearning note, as of suffering. Perhaps
it was in the music-there is that in
the melody of their land; but there
have been those, perhaps, who OWNED
that back of it all there was more than
the mere expression of the notes. These
were right; there was a heart-ache in
the song, and in the yearning note there
was a real longing, a loneliness,

the end of the cable buoy would give

yesterday. Whether it had been car
ried away by the sea, or in a collision
with vessel, is not known. The seas
were so choppy that it was impossible
to lower q boat to make connections
with the cable buoy. Any boat which
would have been put over the Silver
towns side in the heavy seas encoun-
tered yesterday would have been
smashed up as soon as it struck the
water. Under these conditions it was
decided to make no attempt to get the
cable end aboard ship and splice it
yesterday to the cable that would
have to be laid to connect with the end
buoyed off Diamond Head. But the
marking buoy had to be replaced, and
in quick time another buoy was got
ready and heaved overheard in the
same place as the other marking buoy
had been.
Captain Lorensen says that the work
of placing this buoy in the water was
carried out with elocklike precision
An anchor was rugged and dropped
over the bow of the Silvertown. When
it had struck the deep bottom another
buoy, of the same type as the malil
buoy, was attached to the wire hawser
which connects the anchor with the

plished the buoy was easily dropped

position that should the cable attached
to the other buoy break it could be
easily recovered by graphing, as the

and anchored off the harbor, where
she:will lay until the weather modei-

cable connection with the deep sea
cable with is attached to buoy off
Makapuu Point.
The weather was very rough there
during yesterday and last night, ana
fears are entertained that the buoy
supporting the cables end may be car
ried away, as a marking buoy, similar
to the one to which the cable is at
tached, had already been carried away.
After laying the intermediate cable
connecting the Honolulu shore end
with the deep sea cable and buoying it
OF Diamond head yesterday, the steam-
er proceeded to the place where tire
deep sea cable is buoyed off Makapuu
Point. Captain Morton had secured
the services of Pilot Lorensep, who ac-
companied the vessel. The weather
was very boisterous in Molokai cha4-
mel and the seas were almost mountain
high, sweeping over the decks of the
big vessel very often.
The steamer had no difficulty III
finding the main cable buoy. but the

NO SITE FOR
RESERVOIR
Hilo Water Works
System Held
Up.
COOPER WILL
VISIT HAWAII
Bids Received Yesterday Ior Con-
struction OF Two Steel
Bridges in Hilo.

The Hilo waterworks system is held
up because of the failure of former
Superintendent Boyd to secure a site
for the reservoir at the time the prof.
ect was first launched. When the bids
were called for by Superintendent
Cooper a few months ago it was in
conformity with plans submitted ana
approved by Mr.. Boyd some time pre-
yious, but now it has been discovered
that the site for the proposed reservoir,
though on government land. is encun.-
bered by twenty year leases.
1t was intended to build the reser-
yoir on the plains of Piihonua, d large
tract of land above Hilo, which was
easily accessible from the springs, and
which, it is agreed, was the best possi-
bic site for the proposed reservoir.
The bids were called for and received,
with the understanding that the res
eryoir was TO be dug out of the soft
volcanic rock of Piihonua, and 1t was
with good deal of surprise that it
was learned. after the contract had
been virtually let, that the government
had leased the land where it was pro-
posed to build the reservoir. The land
is owned by the government, But is
leased to Colonel Baker, who in turn
has sub-leased it to a Mr.. Turner. At
tempts to buy the leases from Turner
have been met with price which was
considered exorbitant by Superintend-
ent Cooper, and the Piihonua site has
been abandoned.
Mr., Cooper will decide upon the sit.
for the reservoir upon his visit TO
Hilo next month, and has several
places in view upon which it is expect
ed the bids now made will stand.
BIDS RECEIVED.
