these men are well provided with
money. A thousand dollars is said to
be in the possession of one man.
Another is reputed to have $500 and so
on. But all proclaim their poverty and
roll up their eyes and shrug their
shoulders when they are told that they
have ample means.
The little Douma in the Secretary's
office did not reach the Governor.
After Mr. Kotinsky and Mike" We're
through with the Governor, Kotinsky
joined the group at the table. When
the Governor sent for them, Mr.. KO-
tinsky said it was not worth while for
the Governor to hear them as all they
wanted was the Governor to devise
ways and means for their transporta-
ton to the mainland.
There are about ten families left at
Kappa. Whether these will continue
there or not is not known. Mike"
wants them to stay.
Mr.. Fairchild stated yesterday that
what was said of the Molokans being
strong and enduring is true. but as
men behind the hoe. they are not equal
to the Japs. Their strength lies in
their ability to lift weights and it is
said that as. stevedores they might be
capital men, but working all day in a
canefield is not in their line.

, most twice the acreage that is now
| available. 1t has great weirs at short
intervals, with time clocks, for measur-
ing the water taken out, and from these
| weirs the plantations can take the
| water wherever they will upon the
lands lower down. Every plantation in
the district is now engaged in the con-
struction of systems of fumes and
bitches and reservoirs to use and save
the water.
The ditch itself will hereafter be-
under the management of Superintend-
ent Z. w. p. Bluett, who very courte-
ously today illustrated the working of
the weir system in tending the water
down upon Hawi, the only plantation
ready to receive it, at the lower end of
the ditch.
After the opening ceremonies this
| morning, a luau was served at the Ko-
hala Club, and a dance and reception
were given there this evening.
The same company that built the Ko-
hala ditch is engaged in the construc-
ton of system of bitches designed to
carry the waters of Waipio stream and
its tributaries down to the lands of
Hamakua. There will be two bitches
in the Hamaku& system the upper one
% miles long to cost 100000; and a
lower one, q miles long, to cost $780,
co. These ditches will make available
a great region not now properly sup
piled with water, and increase very
largely the yield of the land now in
sugar cane. 1t will be a long time,
however, before these bitches are COM
pleted, although work upon them is GO
ing steadily forward.
Work is likewise progressing steadily
upon that part of the Kohala ditch not
yet completed, although it is said
down there that Engineer O'Shaugh-
messy is not coming back. He has left
complete plans-and his work is in
good hands
peculiar incident of the construc-
ton of the Kohala Ditch has been the
amount of sickness among the Japan
csc tunneI-builders. Powder con-
SUMPTION" they call it, and it is said
to be caused by the fumes released by
burning nitro-glycerine It's symptoms
are muscular rheumatism, and great
bodily emaciation, but the patient re-
covers after a few weeks in the open
air.

MOL.OKANS
POWWOWED
Invaded the Capitol
to Treat for
Terms.

The invading force of Molokans took
reservation beneath the big monkey
pod tree in the Capitol grounds yes
terday. Their leaders entered the
Capitol to treat for terms. and then
came away without getting what they
wanted.
In fact, there We're two divisions
making known their grievances to the
Governor. The first was represented
by Mike whose adherents are still
at Kappa, Kauai To the Governor he
stated the situation of the Molokans.
concluding with the announcement
that he and his adherents liked Ha-
wall and wanted to remain here. He
made statements before the Governor
as to what he considered to be the
scheme. He said the people wanted
day labor at Kappa, and Col. Spaldlng
had refused. In all this conference
Mr.. Kotinsky was the interpreter.
Governor, Douma of the other fac
ton had formed about the desk of Sec
rotary of the Territory Atkinson. The
Leather-Co1lar man was there, the
the men whose hair is cut after
bowl has been placed over their heads
John seemed to be the leader of this
faction.
While resting in the Third Legisla-
ture section under the monkey-pod
John and his companions met Man
ager George Fairchild of the Makee
Plantation on whose lands at Kappa
the Russians We're given houses and
an opportunity to till the soil. The
manager and the Russians were on
very friendly terms, but in all that
was said it was plain to see that the
Kappa. 1t is not altogether certain
that Manager Fairchild wanted them
back either, for thus far they have
been a costly experiment to the plan
tation.
The manager explained before
John that soil had been turned by
the plantation for the Russians to
plant, and at this stage the Molokans
quit. They wanted day labor at the
plantation, and said they could not live
on the wages offered them.
John" in answer to a question said
that he had been employed as an cleo
trica1 worker and carpenter in Los
Angeles and had received $3.50 per day.
That was the sum he wanted if he
continued to stay at Kappa. Another
man said he had been an electrical
worker both at Los Angeles and Tiflis
Others in the group had been drosky,
or hack-drivers. Mr.. F'airchild re-
marked that these people were not
community at all.
John said he had lived for a while
near Winnipeg and that he had been

ADDITIONAL REPORT
FROM ]. F. MORGAN

A report from j. f. Morgan, in
charge of the Hawaiian Relief Bureau,
San Francisco. was received in the
Hongkong Maru mail. addressed to
Secretary Atkinson. He states that he
made a donation of $500 to the San
Francisco County Nurses Association,
and $3.50 to the Associated Charities.
He divided $3.50 among employees of the
Pacific Gable Company who had been
helpful in sending cable news to Homo
lulu during the first week following
the disaster. This fund was divided
as follows: j. P. McKenna, SIS; one
battery man, $35; four operators, $40
each, $50; six boys at $40 each, $50
Mr.. McKenna has asked permission
from the main office to receive this
gift. Mr.. Morgan says he felt COM
PEELED to refuse transportation to over
seventy people who wanted to come to
Honolulu. as he felt they were not
entitled to money. and could work for
it, or obtain it from friends and rela-
tives. He has secured employment for
over fifty people. Some people whom
he has assisted are returning on the
Alameda. He had a balance of $4-
6S4.40 the day he made up his report.

AT KOHALA
Continued from Page II


Twenty millions of gallons daily is
the amount of water now running in
the ditch, filling it to depth of two
feet The carrying capacity of the
ditch is 100000 of gallons daily, and
this amount will be running in it when
it is completed. The ditch, when it is
finished, will be p miles long, and will
carry the waters of Honokane stream
and its tributaries to the lands of
Kohala.
That portion of the ditch which is
completed and opened is IA miles long,
and of this miles are tunnels. The
miles to be completed will be finished
in November. The completed portion
of the ditch will supply more than
enough water to fill the contracts al
ready made with plantations in Ko-
hala. These plantations, parts of which
are under the ditch, comprise approx
mately 1900 acres of cane land, of
which 10000 acres are under the ditch.
The plantations that have contracted
for water are Nuliili, Halawa, Kohala,
Union Mill Co., and Hawi, and besides
these there are about 5000 acres of
White estate lands, good for cane and
now made available by the fact that
water can be put upon them.
Speaking of the plantations and
their contracts to buy water, it is re-
markable fact that only the manage
ment of Hawi had any faith that the
ditch would be ready to supply water
upon the agreed date, June /, and Hawl
had only little faith. So only Hawi had
built any reservoirs and bitches, and
only Hawi can take a part Of the water
contracted for. The other plantations
are hurrying in hot haste with their
ditch and reservoir building-and IN
the meantime are paying the Kohala
Ditch Company for water they cannot
take. In the meantime, Engineer
O 'Shaughnessy knew his job, and fin
ished the ditch on time. The water was
first turned into it on June 1st To
days opening was formaIity.
The ditch beginning in kohaia
mountains at on elevation of 1870 feet,
runs in a general northerly course, fall
ING TO $50 feet in 2I miles. When it is
completed it will cost, approximately,
5000. 900. 1t is lined on the sides with
either cement or stone for the entire
distance. Where cement is used, the
concrete is 6 inches thick. Where the
facing is of stone, native stone re-
sembling trap rock is used, this split
into blocks sxl4x17 inches. This stone
splits very easily, the Jap laborers
making the blocks from the rough
stone for five cents block.
The ditch, in the open, is eight feet
wide on the bottom, eleven feet wide at
the top. and approximately feet deep
Where it pierces the hills in the tnn-
nels it is 61a feet in width at the
bottom. widening to feet at height
of feet. with an arch running through
two feet. making the extreme height OF
the tunnels feet. At intervals along
the tunnels, side tunnels run to the sur
face. these having been used to dump
the material taken out. The tunnels
mostly through porous rock, are lineo
also with concrete.
The work of construction has con-
tinued for several years, but it IS done
now-and well done. The ditch, indeed
is the biggest thing in Kohala. 1t VIII

commencement a, Villa Marie.

From the Erie Evening Herald, which
devoted considerable space to the recent
commencement aJ the Villa Marie
Academy of Erie. we clip the following
complimentary notices of Miss Mary A.
Mcdonald, of Reynudsville, who was
one of the graduates in the Academy !:
"Miss Nj. A. Macdonald sang the
Angels Serenade with sublime effect.
She is the possessor of II remarkably
sweet voice and sings with an ease that
is most pleasing. Miss Rita Coli; S
PLAYED the violin Obligato and Miss
Cora Whittessy the piano accompani-
ment. The music was enchanting. The
three young ladies showed remarkable
skill and ability and their work not
alone reflected credit upon them, but
upon their teachers also"
"Miss NJ. A. Macdonald and Miss j..
l.. Hartigan rendered Beethoven's
Grand Septuor and Notwithstanding the
fact that the pianos were on opposite
sides of the stage the rendition of the
difficult number was so precise that 1t
seemed as if but one piano was being
played upon. The accomplished young
ladies displayed brilliant technique.
The music critics present were charm
ed with the artistic playing of the
gifted pianists and they showed their
pleasure and appreciation with gener-
Gus applause. Miss Hartigan and Miss
Macdonald have finished the musical
course and Villa Maria has reason to be
proud of both pupils"
At the conclusion of the commence
ment exercises the large studio was
thrown open and an inspection of the
work of the pupils was made, and among
the articles displayed and given mention
in the Herald, were Two by Miss Nc
Donald, first china and second water

Early Closing.

Thrrr is very little room for a differ
ence of opinion on the subject OF early
closing during the months ot Ju'F ana
Aupust-two months when the Stores
are stitling and the excessive heat play 5
the energies out quicker than al any
other season.
This sort of thing is thoroughly ap-
preciated and with any sound, sensible,
ambitious merchant and his salespeopie
should be productive OF good results in
increased application and greater in
terest taken in work. Long hours are
productive of discomfort and irritability
in July and August and this condition
is hardly likely to produce the courtesy
which is essential to success in business,
The trouble in instituting the early
closing movement in any locality is the
difficulty of getting every one to adhere
to 1t. There are always sure to be some
"knockers" who are so addicted to the
money habit that they cannot bear to
see an opportunity slip by of making a
dollar or two, supposing they do have
to work overtime for it.
Early closing is especially necessary
during the hot months of July and
August for the preservation of good
health and will be found the best all
around means of clearing the brain and
repairing the energies for closer ap-
plication to business.

GOES TO HIGHER GRADE
CAPT. MARsToN PROMOTED BIZ
THE PUBLIC PRINTER.

Capt. Hiram p Marston has been pro-
n.oted from the position of shipper to chief
of delivery of the government printing Of
fee. at salary of $1,000 per annum. Capt.
Marston has long been an employe of the
big printery, and is said to have clear
record as an official. He Is veteran OF
the civil war, having entered the military
service when President Lincoln made his
first call for volunteers In 1861. He went
to the front with the old 9Th Massachusetts
Infantry. and was with his company when
the regiment was attacked by mob While
passing through Baltimore.
Upon the expiration of his term of serv-
Ice with that regiment. he re-enlisted In
the 33d Massachusetts, Infantry, and went
through many battles, being finally mus
tered out in 1866 Capt. Marston partici-
pated In sixty-three engagements, and rose
from the ranks as private through the
grades to captain. He was wounded sew
eral times and came back to his home as
senior captain of the regiment.
1t is stated that after the Encouragement
OF the Lanston divisions in the government
printing office and the breaking in of new
operators, a night force will be organized
and the operators divided Into two forces
These forces will work eight hours each
day and night, alternating every three
months which will enable the machine men
to earn an increase Of 10 per cent in their
wages. 1t Is said the public printer be-
lieves the pay of the operators is too small
for the character of work required.
1t also proposed to detail the women
press feeders to the hindery and folding
divisions, substituting men feeders In their
places
