KOOLAU DITCH WATERSHED.
The watershed intercepted by this
work has from fifteen to twenty streams
which viii constantly flow into the ditch
including all those between Keanae and
Honomanu which carry a minimum in
long droughts about forty million gal
Ions daily, and in frequent flood times
over two hundred million gallons. Ke-
amaze and Nahiku, owing to their pecu-
liar geographical location on the wind
ward base of Haleakala, are the wettest
spots in the Hawaiian Islands, having
an average rainfall of over 800 inches
yearly. This is conserved by the grand
forest coating on this side of Haleakala
which climb up to an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level and makes this
rough side of Maui such an ideal wa
tershed.
The waters of the Kooleu ditch are
distributed at its western terminus by
a partition weir of nine panels: one
third to the Hawaiian Commercial and
two-thirds to the new corporation, the
Maui Agricultural Company, which in
cludes the old Paia and Haiku planta-
tons. For nearly half the year Kihei
will be benefited by this work as when
the other plantations can not use their
excess of water it can be passed along
to Kihei.
All the old bitches from the west end
of the new one at Waikamof gulch,
1907 feet high, to the plantations will
have to be enlarged and many new re-
servoirs made to store the surplus water
conveyed, as on the very first day the
new ditch carried water, over 100 feet
of the old ones was broken away by the
excessive additional volume, and had
to be repaired.

POWER PROPOSITIONS.

Mr. O'Shaughnessy is now engaged
IN preparing plans for utilizing the
mower from one-third water of the
new Koolau ditch and all the water OF
the old H. c. & S. Co.'S (Spreckels)
ditch. which united together and drop
ped just west of Waikamoi gulch 10
the level of the Lowrie ditch, will give
about 2. 700 horsepower. This will be
utilized for driving some of the existing
pumping stations and operating new
ones in the Waikiki valley where the
Hawaiian Commercial own extensive
property interests now untitled.
This work can be very economically
done as the only extra expense to get
the water power viii be to install the
pressure pipe to the water wheels.

On Friday the 18th of September
Governor Carter formally opened the
great Koolau ditch on East Maui
which collects all the Maui streams
beyond Honomanu and conveys them
to the Hawaiian Commercial, Haiku,
Paia and Kihei plantations.
The conception of the project is due
to the business foresight of the Hon.
H. P. Baldwin and the. late lamented
S. T. Alexander who long ago saw
the great benefits to be derived from
converting to the uses of cultivation
on the parched lands of Central Maui
the many streams from this produc-
tive watershed, which aimlessly dis
charged by picturesque waterfalls into
the sea over the many pals which
flank the north slopes of Haleakala.
Messrs. Baldwin and Alexander built
the Hamakua ditch on Maui in 1879.
This project was a severe test not only
of their courage but a strain on their
financial resources. 1t, however, set
an example in water development to
the planters of the other islands which
they have since followed with result
ing profit.

KOoLAU DITCH.

This ditch is ten miles long meas
ured by the direct route it takes cut
ting straight through the mountain
spurs at the base of Haleakala, while
the surface trail along its length
measures is miles showing the great
shortening in distance by substituting
direct tunnelling for crooked surface
ditch building. Owing to the steep
pals in many places it would be i'm
possible to build either a ditch or
hume on the surface, hence the resort
to tunnelling.
OF the entire length S9,2S2 feet is
in rock tunnel, 1919 feet in open
ditch and 692 feet in redwood fume at
the Nahiku end of the project. The
tunnels are feet wide in the clear,
feet high and when carrying a depth
of 5 feet of water viii carry over So
million gallons daily.
There are SO tunnels in all averag-
ing 1040 feet in length, the longest be-
ing number "a. 2712 feet piercing the
mountain between Honomanu and Ke-
amaze valleys. Various kinds of strata
have been discovered in this extensive
underground excavation from the
hardest basalt pahoehoe, which gener-
ally sits in blankets 100 TO 200 feet
wide across ancient depressions, to the
softest and most porous IA. One
or two large caves have been discov-
cred which lead toward Haleakaia,
while in tunnel near Nahiku an
underground river which had petrified
wood and ancient tree roots was found.
This caused considerable difficulty to

HISTORY OF WORK.

Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, c. E, was retain
ed two years ago to make prelimin-
airy survey and report of cost of the
Koolau ditch. This was completed the
18th of February. 1908, and instruc-
lions to commence work was given in
the early part of March: and ever
since then to completion ten days ago
the work has been vigorously prose-
cuted by a small army of Japanese
miners and laborers. The natives and
Chinese exhibit an aversion for this
class of labor and could not be in
duced to work except as transfers
and boatmen. AS the country trav-
ersed has heretofore been practically
an inaccessible no mans land, about
Is miles of trail and 4 1-2 miles of
wagon road had to be built prepara-
tory to actual construction for the
delivery of supplies.
The first tunnef was started the first
day of April. 1908, and the last COM
pleted the Bird day of September, 1904
Water flowing the whole length one

We have telephones at each | of the various entrances of this build l ing. In our offices, in the laboratory of | the national bureau of standards and otherwheres. The system gives us a means of secret communication with one another, the central operator De- ing eliminated. We can telephone what we please, and 1t Is practically impossible for any one else to know what goes on.
 "In addition to this," continued Prof. Goldsborough, we have the Taller au- tomatic telephone system, which has been so developed that 1t is now ready for commercial application on large scale and also the automatic telephone of the Bell company. The Bell Tele- phone Company has been quietly per- fecting such machines for several years, and they have their apparatus now on view in section IT of this build ing. This is practically the first an- nouncement that has been made of it and 1t is one of our most important novelties"

 phone.
 'will such telephones come into gen. eral useT'
 T believe that they will be used at first in small installations.'' said Pro- lessor Goldsborough. Tt may take some time to adapt them to the cities or to make it possible that they should take care of the enormous traffic of a large city without the use of opera tors. That is a matter of gradual de- velopment and it involves serious en- gineering problems."-
 Then we shall have operators for some time yet?"
 T think so." was the reply. we stIll use tallow candles, gas lamps and coal oil; although we have the electric light, which excels them as an illuminant. It is not possible to say as yet that the automatic telephone will do away completely with the central station telephone"
 Talking without Wires.
 How about the wireless tele- phoneT'
 That is a new invention which Is shown in a comprehensive way and on a sound engineering basis for the first time at this exposition. You can see 1t in the Palace of Electricity and listen to the transmission of articu- late speech without wires. Prior to this, demonstrations have been effect GU WheTG IH6 sIOuHu UT OL water have been used as a means of perfecting the circuit between the in- struments. Here at the exposition we have an absolute divorcement of the transmitting and receiving instru- ments, one from the other, without any physical connection whatsoever A person, equipped with one of these telephone transmitters and the coil at tached thereto. can pass freely through the court and central aisIes of this great building and distinctly hear the words spoken at the transmitting sta ton. which is entirely out of view and far beyond ear range.
 The intent of this demonstration is to conclusively prove that the connec- tion is absolutely wireless. We can easily show the general public that wireless telephone stations are in- sailed and in operation, but it is diff ficult to make many believe that thera is not some means of transmission between the stations. You can easily sec that this could not be the case.

 Then the only use of this inven- tion is to listen to some central speak CT or to talk between man and man?'
 50 far the system is used here on- ly as a means of enabling one speak CT to talk to a large number of lis- teners. Whether 1t will ever have commercial value remains to De shown"
 '.How large an audience could one man address through one of these ma chimes and be distinctly heard. Pro- lessor GoidsboroughT' I asked.
 "As an engineering possibility 1t would be perfectly feasible to install such an apparatus, so that one speak CT could address at least one hun dred thousand people, and each could hear him with equal distinctness. Such an experiment., however. would require the installation of a set of in- struments which would be valueless in connection with any other kind of demonstration"
