Bull DERS
AND TRADERS
Several important Cues
tons We're
Up.

The Builders and Traders Exchange
met at their rooms last evening. There
was a very small attendance although
there was a good deal OF business to De
transacted. The first order was the re-
mort of the committee appointed to
wait upon the Superintendent of Public
works in regard to the matter Of Sc
eregating the contracts for different
items in the construction of public
buildings. The committee reported that
the Superintendent was willing to Sc
erepate the contracts for the construc-
ton of the Insane Asylum and the
new Normal School.
The committee also recommended
that the contracts be divided as fol-
lows:
% Brick and Concrete work.
90 Carpenter work
80 PIastering work.
IA Sheet Metal work.
(5) Plumbing work.
go Electrical work.
% Painting work.
After discussion the report was
adopted with the amendment that
plaster and cement ornamental work
be made a. separate class. Members
Of the exchange expressed the opinion
IF
long step in advance and that it
would tend to keep work in Honolulu
The next item of business was the
discussion of a substitute set OF rules
for the Financial Information Bureau
of the exchange This brought out a
lively argument, some of the members
contending that the Exchange was get
ting to be a mere collection again while
others feared that the introduction of
outsiders as members of the Bureau
would cause friction. The report was
moved and seconded that the president
appoint a substitute director to act
during the absence of John F. Bowler.
The committee on the education of
Asiatic children asked for more time
in which to prepare its report. The
reuqest was granted. Applications for
regular membership from J. R. Logan,
bricklayers, 1857 Beretania Avenue and
for special membership from ". P.

Enormous Wealth of New York.

The wealth Of New York is inconceiv-
able. 1t is several billion dollars great
err than the wealth Of any other state.
1t is three and third billions greater
than the wealth of all New England. II
is a billion greater than the wealth Of all
Pacific coast and Rocky Mountain states.
II is greater even than the wealth OF all
states bordering on the Atlantic, except
ing Mary land, beginning at Canada and
stretching to the gulf. Many of our
counties, too, are richer than sovereign
commonwealths. New York county, for
example. exceeds forty.three of the states
and territories, Kings twenty-four, Erie
eight and Albany, Monroe, Westchester
and Queens one or more each. From an
address by c. A. Gardner at the Con
vocation of the University of the State
of New York.
Senator Depew states that when he
was ~ years old he was elected secre-
tary Of state, after he had served in the
Assembly, and then he was offered the
position Of minister to Japan with n
salary OF $4,000 year and an equal
amount to fit him out, but he realized
that it was the parting Of the ways for
him and he accepted salary from Mr.
Vanderbilt of $1,000 year as attorney
for the Harlem railroad.

Water Frozen and Stored in Reservoirs.

A travelling man recently returned
from a trip through Montana tells of Il
curious method he saw there for storing
water needed for irrigating purposes
This consists of nothing more or less
than freezing the water until it is want
ed.
AS soon as the weather becomes such
as to melt this ice it is tit for the opera
tons requiring the water. The pian
which so far is in the nature Of an tx-
pertinent, consists of making a series Of
shallow basins on the slope of a bill IN
such locations that, when water is pIenti-
full, they may be filled. each of those
below the highest receiving successfully
the overflow from the one above
Once frozen the ice in the shallow res
ervoirs is there until the thaw sets in,
when it melts so slowly as TO keep up
supply of moisture sufficient for the ger
mination and growth of the early crops.
This unique method has been tried 50
far only in the vicinity of Dillon, but it
appears TO be successful and is to he
given a trial in several other favorable
localities. Philadelphia Record.
