The normal flow of water pas
sing Juleshurg is about 200o cubic
feet per second, the flow last year,
which was an exceptionally dry
one, being 1900 cubic feet per
second. The inlet ditch to the
reservoir will carry approximate
ly 46l cubic feet per second. and
hence the reservoir, with Ca
pacity of ] 200, 900, 900 cubic feet,
can be filled in about 80 days.
And yet the opponents OF the res

enough water flowing past the in

HOW TO BRING TOURISTS.

If the merchants of Honolulu Wish
to encourage tourist travel by effect
ing reduction in passenger rates
rfrom and to the Coast, they can do SO
with very small effort. The first step
would be to propose to the steamship
companies a rate of $25, which would
just about cover actual expenses. In
case of refusal of that proposition,
the shipping business of the mer
chants should be offered to the com.
pany taking up the matter at the fig
ire mentioned. Then, in case of a
combination of the companies against
no proposal, the step would be to

appoint her.

No sooner had Henry Vida been APP
pointed road supervisor than he took
into his bosom, probably one he deems
an expert road builder from long ex-
perience, man who he'd been dis
missed from the road force by c. B.
Wilson, the former superintendent If
our recollection serves us right, this
man is an unpardoned criminal and a
non-voter. We remember his being
sent to prison during the days of the
Monarchy for an attempt to defraud
others by uttering forged checks and
there he served out his full term in
road making, which has been the only
kind of work that he has been capable
of doing since he left his incarceration.
Are the Republican Supervisors or
their appointee to employ and maintain
ex-criminals and non-voters on tho
pay-rolls of the County? The Terri
tory did it, but that is no reason why
1t should now be overlooked. Home
Rulers have been abused as being bad,
but how about this one man parading
under the cloak of a Republican, but
at heart he Is not, only an old-time
CRATER, and grafters are just what Re-
publicans are and what they want
themselves to be. What's the matter
with Holy Joe? And where were Hook
ings "scandalous eyes?" But of the
other two, Robinson and Lucas, they
are too good and knowing to know
anything about this matter.

NOT YET FORGOTTEN.

Nine years ago last afternoon, the
proprietor of this paper and twelve
others in the first gang, followed by
many others later, were marched
through town between armed citizen
guards and police and lodged in Jail.
There they passed their first night in
prison cells, followed by many more
days, and we had SO days of such en-
forced incarceration. Since then, we
have not as yet forgotten our first
nights treatment and all the subse-
quent days. OF that unlucky first
crowd of political prisoners, one turn
ed traitor and two have joined the
greater majority beyond. Many tales
could yet be told of those trying and
unhappy days, unhappy because un-
successful.

Cannot Shield RasCaIs.

At this writing, things have come to
such a pass in our County procedure
that The Independent, being the sole
Hawaiian organ in the language of the
white man, is called upon to expose
the past of certain of our own people
who have been appointed to Office and
others who are seeking Office, and who
have been endorsed and are about to
be appointed all of whom belong to
our people, those of the land. Our
purpose is not to defend them, but to
expose them, because they are passing
themselves off under the shelter of be-
ing Republicans, which is only an out
side veneer to get Office. We leave
their defense to our Republican con-
temporaries, to the Advertiser in
chief, for it claims to know all about
everybody. Republicans, whether
haole or kanaka, are all good, and only
Home Rulers are unfit and cannot be
trusted. In this issue, we begin the
exposing of certain of these native
Hawaiian frauds, and we will do so at
every chance, unmindful of any of
them being our fellow-countrymen.
Republicans are welcome to harbor
the rascals, only to be exposed herein,
should any come to our notice.

month; making her pay $50 month.
Couldn't they have found young man
and voter to fill the place, and, If SO,
why appoint a girl? All her connec-
tions are friends of ours, but what we
want to know is--why did Jackie
Lucas assist her in being reappointed?
Is 1t because she is soon to become n
member of the Lucas family? The girl
may be competent clerk, as far as we
know, being in that office sufficiently
long to know all the routine duties Of
the office, but is 1t just to the taxpay-
ers and voters? And further, what
need is there for an assistant, il re-
trenchment is the policy? Come on,
Jackie, out with it, for you know more
than anybody else, and we'd like to
know the reason why you helped to re.
appoint her.

He must have been real soft like his

that had 1t been Boyd or Cooper, or
any other person appointed with his

would have been made to run for it.
He would not have got it so very easy

charter a large and commodious
steamer to make rapid trips between
San Francisco and Honolulu, and fix
the passenger rate at $25. The latter
scheme df 1t became necessary to
resort to it, would result in bringing
every steamer touching at Honolulu
down to the fixed rate within very
few months.

few months.

1t may seem at first that this is a
large undertaking, but not so. The
first two steps would be inexpensive,
and there could be no material reac-
tion from them. The last step would
involve some expense, and would be
an undertaking of great Importance.
But 1t would succeed in every way. 1t
would induce tourist travel, for the
simple reason that it would put rates
down to proper figure. Having in
their own hands the discretion as to
what steamers should take their
freight, the merchants could ensure a
full cargo to the vessel both ways.
There could not be any loss, There
would be large profits, and the other
steamship companies would quickly
see it and be glad to sue for terms.

voluntary application to be placed
under bankruptcy and was subsequent
ly declared a bankrupt by Referee
Rawlins, to whom the matter had been

appointed by the County Supervisors
as road supervisor. Is he then the
kind of man to be appointed to such
an important position? Or did the
Supervisors appoint him as such in
order to help pay his creditors?

TOPICS OF YHE DAY.

If it is true that Representative vi.
da has resigned his legislative office,
then the Governor is derelict in his
duty in not at once ordering a special
election for the purpose of filling the
vacancy thus made. Kidgy is not up to
snuff.
Anent the granting of marriage lic-
enses by former agents while waiting
for the Tax Collector to qualify him
self, we are of the opinion that agents
can still do so till their successors
have been qualified. No one is out of
office till his successor has qualified.
