The Rev. r. Nua =. Kawaiahao in
forms US:
Il suffered lrom kidney trouble,
which was, believe, caused by my
lifting heavy weights whilst young.
Pains in the small # my back were
one of the symptoms + my complaint
My trouble extends back 10 the time
when 7 was % years of age, and as
am now 40. that is a considerable Pc
Rod. During all this time / was SUBJ
ject to pains in the bach. They con-
tinued despite the fact that 1 consult
, ed several physicians and took numer-
; Gus remedies. No relief thus gained
can be compared to the benefit OBJ
tanned from using Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills. I have got on wonder
fully well since taking them. L am
quite satisfied with the result and
shall always have some of the pills by
me. even when going from Honolulu
to other missionary fields in the South
Pacific. There is no other remedy like
Doan's Backachef Kidney Pills for kid

ment, and a description of operations
conducted by the writer Mr. Mo-
lony says: THE Kauaula Tunnel was
begun in June 1901. with Ogata as con-
tractor. very faithful and competent
Japanese" He also says: Mr. Wal
deyer is the fourth contractor who has
been employed on this tunnel" The
tunnel was started in June 1901; took
hold of the work in September 1902
Ogata, the very faithful and compe-
tent Japanese, the two other contractors,
and thes engineer in charge managed
to complete in this Is months just BOG

Wnen L TOOK up the work.
When took charge as contractors
Immediately tore out the 300 it, of
wooden rails, threw the ore car over
the dump, and replaced this with por-
table iron track and modern automatic
ore cars, built at the Plantation ma
chine shop from my design. Since this |
time, through acquisitions written and |
signed by me, the entire plant has been |
changed until it is, as stated in my re- |
port. the best equipped tunneling out |
fit on the Hawaiian islands. Absolute |
ly nothing is left of the original plant |
except the power wheel and air COM |
pressor.
Molony at my KauauIa tunnel camp
him there was on June 9Th, 1904.
On July End 1904 Mr.. Molony left the |
island of Maui for good.
Honest now, 1 had forgotten all about (
him.
Mr.. Molony was at the time engineer
in charge, and did. as he claims, duly |
drive the tunnel on the line and grade |
directed by him. 1 did not state this
in my report; ] also did not state that |
I had given it as my opinion at head /
quarters. and offered to prove, that in |
following the line and grade had been
ordered to follow, there had been vast
ed, in certain drifts, the entire amount
of money expended, and that it need
not have been wasted if the proper
system had been followed. I also did |
not state in my report that had given
it as my opinion at headquarters. and
offered to prove, that if I continued the
tunnel on the line directed the entire !
amount expended on the operation |
would be wasted and absolutely no
favorable results obtained also |
did not state in my report that finally,
to save this project from absolute ruin,
1 did upon my own responsibility,
aba ndon the line upon which 1 was
ordered to run and drive a drift at
right angles to this line, from which
drift, of which / am contractor, engi-
neer. adviser and expert, there is now
two thirds of the entire flow
from the tunnel This matter was :
touched on in my report, for I say ut
has been demonstrated by operations
here that success will not follow the
blind driving of tunnels, even in such
favorable localities as this" There was
some blind driving of tunnels, and L
am perfectly willing that Mr.. Moiony
should have the credit for 1t. 4,
1 had expected some criticism of my
report. 1t is with regret that I find
this criticism of a personal nature, and
that I am compelled to answer it as
above. 1 had hoped my views on water
development would be attacked. A
friendly controversy over different
points of this work would be both en-
and instructive.
Mr.. ]. S. Molony, after two years
work, has recently successfully com
pIeted on Maui an extensive ditch
system, comprising some very difficult
and he is unquestionably
a very able engineer.
On the other hand have devoted my
time exclusively for five years to and
have been continuously employed at
water development, a record that has
been reached by no one else and I am
prepared to maintain the position /
