KALIHI WATER RIGHTS.

The Committee on Public Lands and
Internal improvements reported ad-
versely on Lilikalanis resolution to
appropriate $4,000 for purchasing the
water rights in Kalihi valley.
The Superintendent of Public Works
appointed a commission of three MEM
bers who investigated the matter and
made a report to the Superintendent"
ran the committees report. This re-
port is so uncertain that 1t is impossi-
BILE to fix an approximated value upon
the water rights in the valley and in
fact was not upon a thorough and COM
plete investigation of the various water
heads and claims of owners OF pur-
ported owners of the water rights. On
ly two upper auwais leading from the
main stream were investigated. while
there are many other and different
sources of the water supply; neither
does the report show at what elevation
the water could be conserved nor to
what height the same could be con-
veyed by the gravity system. The
water rights in the valley have not
been judicially determined or settled
nor have the various rights of owner
snip anu thclc aiS
| many claimants to ownership whose
claims must be settled before any
| estimate of the value of the water
rights could be intelligently deter
mined. Many of the owners and
claiming owners of these rights, your
committee is informed, are opposed to
| the absorption of the same by the Gov
eminent and these will have to be dealt
with individually at considerable cost
and expense, a great amount of time
being required to thoroughly settle.
while your committee firmly be-
| lieves that all sources of water avail
be owned and controlled by the Gov
eminent yet in view of the absolute
lack of any specific and definite in
| formation from which to ascertain the
proper amount to be paid for this pur-
chase it has reached the conclusions
heretofore set forth"
The commissioners were c. L.
| Wright, r. II. Trent and r. c. A Pc
terson. The first two submitted a re-
port only as to the two upper auwais
and stated that in the short time they
could go no further. Peterson refused
a report at ell, as the time had been
too short for him to go into the mat
ter with any degree of thoroughness.
The report of the committee was
adopted.

THEY WANT PUNcHBowL,.

The Public Lands Committee reported
favorably on Senate Bill No. to re-
serve tracts of land at Waikiki and
Tantalus to be developed into places
pleasing to the eye and beneficial to the
public. 1t also reported on the PROPOSE
ton similarly to reserve Punchbowl for
park. 1t recommends this also. stat
ing that the bed of the crater is fertile
and can be made one of the most at
tractive parks in the world. 1t is sug-
gested that water could be obtained
from Kahuawai or Pauoa springs. as
pumping would be too costly. The COM
mittee felt. however, that it would be
useless to set the land aside without
making provision to improve 1t, as it
would consist merely of tangled i'm
passable thicket of algaroba. mimosa
and lantana, so it suggested adding to
the bill the words providing that the
same be properly developed as public
park without unnecessary delay"
The Public Lands Committee recon-
mended that the land at Piihonua, Hilo,
be declared public recreation ground.

The crooksdnsss connected with
the furnishing of the army supplies
to England in the Bosr war of 1899
1902 were, it is now discovered,
greater than were those with which
the United States was afflicted dur
ing the Spanish war Of 1893. Eng
iaud had an immense army in the
Trsnsvaal from the first to last, mum
boring at one time close to 200, 900.
This was several times Is large .
force q tho United States had in
Cuba and Ptrto Rico burinR the war
with Spain. The largest number of
troops which We had in the Phillip
pines at any time was about 10000.
The chances, therefore, for oorrup-
tion and general rsscality in the Brit
ish case were greater than in ours,
and the contractors and supply
agents rose ably to the level Of their
opportunities, ss recent developments
show.
A similar story of crookedness is
told in the case of the supplies for
the Russian army and navy in the
present war. In the Russian iu-
stance the matter il made especially
hsinous by two circumstances. The
stealing has apparently been much
larger than il was in the British or
American case, and some Of the cul-
prits were the grand dukes and
others high in authority IN Russia.
The latter is . feature Of the graft
ing which WAS not seen in the Unit
cd States. None Of the higher Of
fioials of the American government
were implicated in the army steals,
20 far % known. In the post Office
and other scandals some United
States officials of . moderately high
rank were connected, but none
Of the grade involved in Russia have
been discovered.
We are in the habit OF saying,
Whenever any big steals are discover
cd in the United States government
service, that they order these things
better in England, France, Germany
and the rest Of the world. This Is
. mistake. Graft has all countries
and all ages for its own. The worst
case of this sort which the world re-
calls IN the past half century was
that which led to the collapse OF the
French army in the war of lS7O-n
II is probable that there was some
stealing on the German side also in
that conflict, but Germany, being
poorer, offered smaller opportunities
fos rsscality. Later on in laO5 o.
The Lamar register., 1905-08-02

in 1905 We may discover that Japan
has had . little stealing in the pur-
chase Of her army supplies. Crook
edness is cosmopolitan. On its oP-
erations the sun.never sets. Never
thelsss, the United States duty is to
hunt down it's crooks in the post Of
fee, the land Office and elsewhere,
and to punish them whom it reaches
