BAD WIRING
IN CHINATOWN
ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR HASSON
FINDS Owe NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF THE BUILDINGS DEFECTIVE.

''Out of 473 buildings l have exam
ined of which l have examined the cleo
trio wiring in Chinatown" said Elec-
trical Inspector w. f. G. Hasson this
morning, "over 800 were found to con-
tain defective work. They are small
buildings and were wired a long time
ago. 1t Is quite possible that this sort
of work is responsible for some of the
fires that have occurred in the district.
In those frame buildings the de-
struction is often so complete that one
cannot find traces of the origin of the
fire in what remains but l have seen
defective wires after the fires were ov-
er. l have also seen buildings in which
wires improperly placed were sur
rounded by a bit of charred wall,
showing where a fire had started. The
Chinese say they soon put the fire out
and no pilikia' and so nothing is done
! in the matter.
/ "A great deal of wiring has been
done during the past year, and it is
| good work. Good materials are used
now and the work is of a high class.
| During the past twelve months there
| have been over 1000 buildings wired for
electric lights alone in Honolulu, and
this does not include the small jobs
done by men not employed in the big
| Offices"
The electrician is just finishing hi,
annual report to the superintendent OF
Public Works, also a report showing
the work done for the Board of Under
writer's, which bases insurance rates
partly on the reports from Hasson as
to the wiring in the buildings. The
new buildings are all examined, anC
these are all found to be all right. Re
ports of first class wiring were mad,
on 90 such buildings, while in the case!
of 50 other buildings examined, the
wiring, while not very defective, wal
not found to be first class.

LOOKING INTO THE
KONA-KAU ROAD
II. 5. DIMOND, REPRESENTING \
CONTRACTING FIRM RETURNS
FROM KONA.

II. ). Dimond and wife returned by
the Mluna Loa this morning from sew
eral months spent in Kona and the lee
ward side of Hawaii.
Mr.. Dimond represents Wilson, Ly-
Ons q Company, of San Francisco big
contractors who build railroads and
that sort of thing. He has been on
Hawaii looking over the route and sur.
veys of the kona- Kau Railroad and
getting in readiness for constructive
operations.
Wilson, Lyons & Company have con-
siderable interest in this enterprise.
Mr.. Dimond has not yet arrived at alb
solutely definite conclusions. The
right of way has been secured for the
whole length of the road, and the writ
ten promises of these are now being
changed into executed deeds and leas-
es and being placed on record. A con-
siderable number of these have already
been placed of record.
Mr.. Dimond says that he expects
construction on a large and vigorous
scale to begin i'm a comparatively short
time He says this time will be con-
siderably shortened if some of the peo-
pie of Kona recognize the benefit the
road will be to their country, and in
stead of placing obstacles in the way
of construction, aid the enterprise. In
other states and territories the people
along proposed line of road frequent
ly aid it by giving, not only rights of
way, but bonuses.
The agreements under which rights
of way are being secured for the Ko-
na-Kau road call for the completion OF
! the entire length of the road, that is
| from North Kona to the line between
lKau and Puma, within two years.
Mr.. DimOnd says that James Cowar
with whom Receiver Dortch made q
contract to harvest the cane of Kona
Plantation on the basis of an equa
division of the sugar between the con-
| tractor and the receiver, has not yet
actually begun work under the con-
tract, but is getting his labor ready
He is experiencing some difficulty in
| getting sufficient labor to carry out his
plans, but how serious this difficulty is
Mr.. Dimond does not know.
| Mr. Dimond says that he under
| stands the objection to the contract
was that instead of the court asking
| for bids it directed the receiver tC
make a contract on this offer of Cow
ans without bids.

A JURY WAIVED.
Estee Will Hear the Peacock Case
Alone.

Henry e. Highton waived jury this
morning in the case of the United
States VS. w. c. Peacock. and the case
was set for trial before Judge Estee on
January 10. Judge Estee is going to
Hilo to begin term in the following
week, and it is the intention to try the
case first. Some time ago a jury was
asked for and the court intended to
summon a special jury this morning.
Another appeal was filed in one of the
cases of the United States VS.. II. Hack
field d Company. The exceptions and
assignment of error were filed and
Judge Estee made an oder as asked
for, granting a writ of error to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, at San
Francisco.

for hauling the Nevadan off the reef
with the tug Fearless, a motion by Sill
man for leave to amend the libel was
granted.

Some interesting experiments in
breeding buffaloes are being carried on
near Monterey, Cal, by Esteban j.,
Molera, a ranchman. He has been at
it for the last six years and is more en-
couraged than ever. He started with
a pair of buffalo and now his herd Of
a. The buffalo is a restless animal,
and Nh Molera changes his heard from
ranch to ranch as discomfort is eX-
hibited. Experiments in breeding the
buffalo with common cattle have been
made, and some half-breed Galloway
raised. The flesh makes good meat
and the skin fine leather. There is also
a finer and thicker growth of hair than
with the pure buffalo.

A WONDERFUL
PRAIRIE CAVERN
ONE OF THE NATURAL CURIOSI-
TIES OF THE PRAIRIE REGION
OF OKLAHOMA.

At a spot eleven miles southeast of
this place, says the Oklahoma Capital,
in the level prairie upland, is an OPEN
ing about forty feet in diameter and
sixty feet in depth. By clinSing to it's
rocky and preCipitous walls a person
may descend to the bottom and there
find the openings to two caves, one
leading westward and the other to the
east For years this cave has been
known as Rock Prairie cave. 1t is one
of the most striking natural curiOsities
in the Chickasaw Nation. The caves
are of unknown length, and through
one PUSHES a substerranean stream OF
great depth in places and of icy cold
ness. Exploring parties have ventured
into these labyrinths for hundreds of
yards, but the danger of becoming lost
has prevented a thorough eXaminG ton
of the Underground passages.
The cave leading westward is easies,
of access and contains a number of
spacious chambers. one room is about
seventy feet square and fifty feet from
the floor to the ceiling. The floor is oD-
structeI with huge powders. The
darkness and stiffness are intense.
Picnic parties sometimes go there
and with a large bowlder of a
table eat their lunch in the glare of
torches that cast uncanny shadows
along the massive walls.
TimId persons hesitate in venturing
into the depths of the eastern cave.
The passage Slants downward at an
angle that cOmpels the explorer TO
crawl and slip and slide for nearly 100
feet before reaching a spot where a
person may stand upright and walk
safely. From the darkness echoes the
sound Of rushing water, which later is
found 10 be a stream which runs from
i. gN.I.
six inches to many feet in depth. Men
have waded in the stream until the
water reached their chEs and then
gone In a boat to points where they

follow the streams to it's end. a a
depth estimated to be 200 feet below
the surface of the ground is a natural
bridge formed by a huge stone that
fell across the stream. The water
plunge5 underneath this bridge like a
mill race. A boat can be pulled over
the bridge, however, and launched on
the other side. About 100 feet below
the bridge the stream widens into a
broad, deep pool, with a high vaultel
roof. Beautiful stalagmites are stalac-
tites adorn this chamber. Two hum
dred feet below this pool the passage
is difficult. 1t is claimed that this cave
has been explored for mile.
The stream is believed to find its out
let at a spring about three miles from
the entrance to the cave. This spring
is of great size and volume and flows
with remarkable swiftness. In rainy
seasons the spring boils and gushes as
if chokcd with the flood of water that
pours from its mouth. The stream in
Rock Prairie cave rises when there is
a heavy rainfall in the surrounding
country, and the increased flow of both
spring and stream at such times is
taken as evidence that they are con-
nected.
