The Legislature, on occasion, rises to
great heights. The only argument we
have heard for the $4,000 Pahoa pur-
chase is that a lot of people have got
their money in Kaimuki and can't get
1t out unless the taxpayers put up
$4,000 for their $50, 900 water plant. To
the average Hawaiian legislator or the
average legislator whose friends are in
the Kaimuki deal, this argument seems
to be conclusive. 1t matters nothing
that Nuuanu valley, where the Gov
eminent owns a reservoir site, could
supply all the water the town and its
suburbs needs and do it without pump
ing; 1t matters less that the Pahoa
plant is immensely overvalued at
$4,000; all the majority seems to think
of is the good the money would do to
boom investors who plunged too deeply.
II the Legislature goes to the limit in
thus Pahoa matter it ought to go fur
Their and buy something for the benefit
of all who have lost money in boom
real estate, sugar stocks, theater en-
terprises, lodging houses, etc. There
are enough of them.

PROSPERITY AND PROTECTION.
1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.l

|
There is nothing at the present time
that should appeal more strongly to
| the Honolulu business instinct than
the Improvement of Pearl Harbor
That there are many things can be
done from here to forward the matter
! is unQuestioned and that there are
many reasons why we should use every
effort to that end. is equally true.
| No opportunity should be allowed to
pass where we can in any way streng-
then the hands of the War and Navy
| Departments without our taking adj
| vantage of such opportunity.
| Action by the Commercial bodies. the
| Chamber of Commerce and the Mer-
| chants Association working through
| like bodies in the Pacific coast cities
would be a good starter; Joint resolu-
| ton of the legislature now in session,
| forwarded to the Powers that be" in
Washington would be of value, while
every resident of the islands should
keep the matter in mind and dwell up
! on it in correspondence or in CONVEX
sation with the friends living on the
| mainland
The benefit to us of an expenditure
| here of five, ten or fifteen millions of
dollars, goodly proportion of which
must be for labor and put into circu-
lation quickly, cannot be estimated and
the fact that at least 95 per cent. of
| this money finds it way back to the
coast should be in our favor with the
business concerns there.
| Again, every dollar spent on fortifi-
| cations here would be worth to the
| United States as much as ten dollars
spent on terrifying the coast, for a
fertilization there is good only for the
particular point where 1t is located.
while We're we in position that hos
tile ships were unable to stop here for
coal and supplies, they would reach
the coast in so helpless condition that
! aggressive action would be out of the
question for them. Properly fortifying
oahu would therefore mean protection
to the coast line from British Column
bia to Mexico.
The war clouds in the east makes
this the time TO agitate, as II is by no
means beyond the range of possibilities
that we may be drawn into the trouble
should hostilities actually begin, and
with our cable facilities this would be
the natural headquarters for the Navy,
where ships could be operated in either
direction with a saving of many days
time and with sufficient coal left in
their bunkers to make action possible
on arrival at the seat of difficulty.
Our present unprotected condition is
constant menace to the business in
terests of the islands as well as to the
. u 5. Government and the temptation
to take possession would be irresista-
bic TO any nation having designs on
the coast of the mainland. 1t would
be great disgrace to Uncle Sam 10
have such thing happen and would
cause him a serious loss of prestige
while to us it would mean humiliation
or al the very least rnination of bust
ness industry for a long period
Admiral Terry has always been al
enthusiast for first class Naval Sta.
ton here and should ne be again sem
down 10 look after the Improvement.

NEW DREOGER IS
BEING BUILT

What will be practically a new and
up to date suction dredger is being
built for the Hawaiian Dredging Co.
near the Railroad wharf. The old clam
she'll digger of the Construction Co. is
being rebuilt. though It will never be
recognized as :he old machine. A new
engine for the dredger will probably
arrive on the Alameda today in charge
of Captain Parker who went to the
Coast for the purpose of purchasing
It, The other heavy pieces of machin-
cry are already in position. and the
dredger will be made ready for use i'm
mediately II the new engine arrives
today.
1t Is the intention of the Hawaiian
Dredging Co. to make the dredger ex-
actly like the one now in successful
operation at Pearl Harbor. This
dredger was the old clam shell digger
which was first used on the Pearl Har-
Dor contract, and then found to be of
but little practical value. 1t was then
decided to convert it into a suction or
hydraulic dredger and the old piece of
machinery has been undergoing the
transformation process for six weeks
past, on the marine railway. She was
taken over near the Railroad wharf
last Monday, and since then carpen-
tiers have been putting her in shape
for the installation of the engine.

II is possible that Admiral Terry was
meant instead of Admiral Merry when
the Associated Press announced the
coming of flag officer here. Homo
lulu orders to Terry, who is command
ant of the Washington Navy Yard,
have now teen issued; and nothing
more has been heard of Merry. 1t can
hardly be that the Department will
keep two Rear Admirals here. They
might get in each others way or cause
the island of Oahu to tip. Besides,
Merry is an officer on the retired list
and 1t would be unusual. to say the
least, TO give him a billet like Homo
lulu by preference TO an officer on the
active list.
