FLATTERlN6 RECORD
 FOUR YEARS WORK
Achievements of the U. s. B. 5. Since
 Its Organization.

The United States reclamation ser vice has just passed its fourth birth day, and that it is a very vigorous in- fant is shown by a summary of the work accomplished during its brief ex- istence.
 Work is now under way on twenty two projects and 13,OOO acres of land have been actually irrigated Up to July l, 241 miles of main canal 116 miles of distributing system and SSs miles of ditches had been constructed. including dams headworks. etc. Tun- nels having a total length of more than five and a half miles have been driven, including over two and a half miles of the great Gunnison tunnel in Colorado. More than 521 miles of tele- phone lines have been installed and are now in operation; 233 miles of wagon road. many miles of which were cut in solid rock in almost inaccessible canyons, no bridges and 300 office and other buildings have been constructed.
 The works above mentioned have called for the excavation of 17.4O3. .2I3 cubic yards of rock and earth. the lay ing of 134.446 cubic yards of concrete. 124901 square yards of rip-rap and paving: 42,947 linear feet of bling have been driven. There have been pur- chased 1873 tons of iron and steel. 7.- 347,312 feet B. NJ. lumber and 159,623 barrels of cement. The government cement mill at Roosevelt, Ariz., erected at Q cost of more than $1O0 900, has turned out 43.0OO barrels of cement, and Uncle Sam's saw mills have cut 2.SS9, ,000 feet B. NJ. lumber from the government reserves
 A Washington bulletin has been re- ceived which reiterates officially those things in connection with the diversion dam, that were unOficially announced here several days ago. The bulletin in substance is as follows:
 "On January 13 the secretary of the interior made an additional allotment of s375,000 to the Salt river irrigation project, Arizona. for the construct ,on of a diversion dam. headworks and new canal on the upper two miles of the existing system. and he has now authorized the engineers to proceed with the work of construction under force account.
 "On account of the flood conditions in the valley the work of construction will be intermittent in character and the engineers of the reclamation ser vice can take advantage of favorable conditions in the river for constructing difficult parts of the work. The losses of time occasioned by advertising for bids and awarding contracts were also taken into consideration It is believed that water can be diverted into the canal at least a year sooner and that many thousands of dollars will be saved to the settlers by conducting the work under force account"

DEADLY BANANA BUG.

A banana bug of this kind which sometimes pOisons banana eaters with venom more deadly than that of the rattlcsnake was found in a bunch of bananas in a South Water street com mission house the other day. The bug is about ? F inches long. with a pair of stiff, overlapping wings. each about an inch wide When it clings to an overripe banana one cannot tell where the banana skin ends and bug back begins, on account of the mOttled color of these wings
 Thrown on his hack, the bug reveals three pairs of legs and one pair of long feelers.-Chicago News.

A TOBACCO
FARM GOES

Jared Smith is to have his tobaeew
farm at Hamakua, Hawaii. Yesterday
Acting Governor Atkinson signed the
proclamation setting aside the lands at
Paauilo Homesteads, lot II, which Mr.
Smith had asked for, and the work of
getting the farm in order will now pro-
ceed without let or bindrance. Under
the terms of the proclamation, the land
is to be set aside for three years, Gas
an agricultural experiment station un-
der the direction of the Secretary of
Agriculture, through the Hawaii Er-
perimental Station"
AT the end of the three years, OF
course, the property will revert to the
Territory, and Hawaii will own sue
cessful tobacco plantation, in good or
der and very probably producing rev.
enue. AT all events. the men who are
behind Jared Smith in the matter would
seem to be pretty well satisfied with
the prospect for profit. Mr.. Smith said,
the other day, in an interview in the
Advertiser, that he had secured backing
from local men for field experiment in
tobacco culture, and that the men who
were behind him were willing to take
the chance of getting their money back
from the profits of the farm. For that
reason he had applied to have the land
in question reserved for his farm cx-
pertinent in tobacco culture. The land
is adapted for the purpose, being in
the Hamakua region where fine tobacco
has been grown, and work on the farm
has already been commenced. 1t is the
purpose to put up drying and curing
sheds, and altogether to go into tobacco
raising on business basis.
In making mis- proclamation setting
aside the lands for the purpose desired
by Mr.. Smith, the Governor quotes the
section of the Organic Act making pro-
vision for the reservation of lands by
the United States Government within
the Territory, and says; "lt is be
lieved that properly conducted agricul-
tural experiments in said district of
Hamakua cannot fail to be of great
value to the people of said district, and
to the people of the Islands generally"

BUSINESS IN RESIDENCES.

The Emporium continues business in
n residence on the corner of Suttcr
and Van Ness. The White House, City
of Paris and several other dry goods
shops, have secured abandoned homes
and are here selling the few things
saved from the fire. The new Jewish
synagogue has become the courthouse; (;
all bank vaults are intact and bankers
state that they will soon meet all de.
mands. The insurance companies will
pay the loss by fire, and when we are
again living like civilized people,
knowing again the joys of running
water, gas and electricity, we shall feel
that life has become easy. What seem
Ell great cares before thus disaster, have
become things too trivial to mention.
Many family differences have been
shaken away. and | can honestly say,
there is more milk of human kindness
flowing and more brotherly love
brought into play in these days that
make all men brothers, than has re.
suited from the millions and millions
of sermons for the benefit of mankind
in years gone by.
Feeling this, who shall pity us? Our
loss has become a great spiritual gain.
1t is an experience, that, well survived,
fits man for any adversely and makes
of him creature without fear.
When one can turn from the tragic
to the humorous, there are enough
amusing sights to fill book. Thank
God for sense of humor A good,
hearty laugh is better than pills or
a restcure.
We send heartfelt thanks TO our
loyal, generous nation and neighbors,
for their prompt relief which has saw
ed us the horrors of starvation, and
we look to see foreign ships sailing
again through our Golden Gate, which
is just as Golden, my friends and ex-
tends to you welcome hand. Come
and see what American spirit and grit
can do-a spirit that no earthly calam-
ity can kill!

An OREGON EDITOR
Goes BACK TO BED

H. L. Pittock, proprietor of the Port
land -Oregonian, who was a visitor In
Honolulu until recently. was in the-San
Francisco disaster. He was at the
awakened by the fearful heaving of the
building and great heaps of plaster
fell all about him. His suit case lying
on the table near him was crushed by
chunks of plaster, but his usual good
luck was with him and he was un-
harmed.
Having had former experience with
earthquakes he quickly realized what
had occurred and decided to remain
where he was. After deliberately go
ing back to bed and remaining there
for about an hour, he dressed and left
the hotel, going to the st. Francis
where he had breakfast. Not until
Friday was he able to get out of the
city and all day Thursday he was with
out food. He arrived In San Francisco
on Wednesday morning, April IS. only
two hour before the earthquake. He
went first to the Palace but was un-
able to get accommodation and then
went over to the Occidental. After de-
Gliding to leave the Occidental after his
hours rest after the first shock. he went
to the Palace to get a wash, the water
supply at the Occidental having been
cut off

Gently returned. EACH offered me a
room and Mr.. Holman accompanied me
first to the Associated Press Office to
wire home of my safety. Fires were
then burning in many directions.
while walking up Sutter street
Qate in the day., l met Mr.. Esselsteyn
and Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred
(chaperon of the Oregon girls). He
was hauling her trunk and two suit
cases by cord. They invited me to
join them which l did and we moved
about from block to block watching the
fire which was by this time in the
vicinity of the Fairmount. We saw the
St. Francis burn and as the flames
crept up toward the Fairmount and the
art gallery, the guards began forcing
men into service to carry out the valu-
able paintings.
when daylight came they wanted to
go through the burned district to the
ferry, but l induced them to go by way
of the Preside. believing the other
route to be dangerous. We separated
at Pacific street"

FOR
M0LOKANS

The Molokans at Kapaa are to have
their lands in severaity, and to be given
a chance to prove their worth as labor
ers on the individual system.
"Now, Mike,n said Governor Atkin-
son yesterday afternoon, in bidding
goodbye to the representative of the
Molokans who has been in Honolulu for
some days past and who was about to
take his departure on the steamer sail
ing yesterday for Kauai, "you go up
there and make your people work, and
| will do my part down here. Mr.. Har-
vey is to look at the lands and report
back to me, and then we will tell him
what the Territory wants to do in the
way of subdivision and laying out"
"All right, said Mike. in curious
kind of broken English. 81 go. Good
bye. thank you.'
"The Lord help him, said the Gov.
ernor, as the whiskered sectary blew
out through the door. "He has a

ly determined to give the Molokans an
other chance along the lines that have
already been discussed-namely, as in
dividuals. Fred. Harvey, of the survey
department, is now on Kauai and to
him will be given the task of going
over the land and, finally, of arranging
the subdivision of it among the several
Molokan families. 1t is understood
that an arrangement will be made with
the plantation to take the cane of the
individual farmers, and in this way it
is hoped that the Molokans will be con-
tent to settle down to work and so be-
come a factor in the industrial life of
the islands. And it will be Mikes job
to get them to do that Which, the
Governor thinks, is harder task than
he has. Mike and Manager Fairchild
left for Kauai last night, taking maps
of the Kapaa lands with them.

Time
FOR KOREANS

1t ,behooVes the friends of the five
Koreans condemned to be hanged for
murder committed on Hawaii to pre-
pare to get busy, because the men are
to be hanged on next Wednesday, May
&c. If no official action is taken in their
case in the meantime.
1t had been supposed that the re-
prieve granted to the five by Acting
Governor Atkinson ran to May 2Sd,
which would have been three weeks
from the date originally set for the
execution, but it appears now'that this
understanding was misunderstand-
ing. When Messrs. Kinney and Thurs
ton appeared before the Acting Cover
nor to ask for delay and an eXamina-
tion of the record in behalf of the con-
demned men, the Governor asked the
Attorney General whether two weeks
would be long enough time in which
to send for the papers, and go over
the case.
Mr. Peters answered that it Nould
not. The Governor then gave three
weeks, but 1t was three weeks approx
ately from the date of hearing Kinney
and Thurston, not three weeks from
the date originally set for the execu-
tion, namely May 2. And in that way
the reprieves were made out and sign
ed. The men, accordingly, will be
hanged next Wednesday unless there
Is some action taken in the meantime.
The papers i'm the case have ali ar
rived from Hilo save the transcript OF
the testimony, and that is expected TO
be on hand by the next Kinlu. The
Testimony was Voluminous, and So II
has taken a long time to make the
transcript of the shorthand writer's
notes.
II the transcript gets here Saturday
as is expected. there will be plenty or
time To go over the entire case and to
give hearings to whoever may want To
be heard in the matter In the early
part OF next week. on course nothing
can be or well be done until the en-
tire record Is at hand.

DISTRESS GnUWING
FROM FAKE STORY

A letter received by Fred. Kiley of
this city from relative in San Fran
cisco gives some interesting details of
the great earthquake. The letter is
dated April %: a
"At 5:15 Wednesday morning, the
1sth,' SAYS Mr.. Kiley's correspondent,
"the earth seemed as though it was
going to open and take everything into
it. 1t is impossible to describe it, but
the roaring and rumbling were some
thing frightful. They say the earth
quake lasted five minutes, but it
seemed hours in duration. The old
wooden buildings seemed to stand
it better than any others, but
there is not house in San Francisco
that is not more or less damaged, and
every chimney is down. Every brick
house or building collapsed, and st.
DOminick IS church is n complete wreck.
"Then, after the earthquake, that
awful fire just seemed to sneak up ON
MS before we realized il. Wagons with
dead bodies, and other wagons with the
sick and injured were going here and
there, and cinders as big as baseballs
were flying, hitting everyone In the

HOW GOOD CAME IOUT
OF GREAT OESOLAT|ON

The following letter, descriptive of
the desolation of San Francisco after
the fire, was written to a well-know n
sugar man of Hawaii by Brooke Rose,
of 3543 Sacramento street, San Fran
cisco. 1t gives most pathetic picture
of the city as it is now, but it also
breathes the spirit of hope:
Enough has been given to the world
in detail of the great earthquake and
fire of San Francisco, of April 18th,
1906, and now it may interest those
who have visited our city to know
how tho lives of 100000 people have
been changed, in twenty seconds, and
how we have suddenly become one
great fraternity.
took a walk yesterday down Cali
fornia street as far as Kearney, where
once stood the proud homes of the
richest families of San Francisco; on
Mob Hill, that represented the "mush.
ROOM prosperity of 40 and 80
Stanford, Crocker, Hopkins and Flood,
all is now such scene of devastation
and ruin, such naked, bleached bones
of dead city, that to try to describe
the sorrow and awfulness of it all
would be useless. People going up and
down the hill, some carrying bags and
baskets on their way to the ferries,
pass along mournfully gazing with
awed faces about them and talking in
hushed voices, as though they were
looking their last on the faces of their
dead! 1t is sight that, once seen,
can never be forgotten.
Standing on the corner of Powell
and California, and looking over this
frightful ruin across the calm blue
waters of the bay to the peace and
comfort of Berkeley and Oakland
nestled against the hills, is a pathetic
picture of the downfall of pride and
brings to mind the thought that he
who holds his head the highest is often
cast into the dust. Surely no heavier
blow than this could visit the city
that had become the nucleus for all
others of the Pacific slope.
Grace church, where so many of the
rich sang praises to Him who knows
no cast, is now like one of the old
ruined abbeys of England, the inside
completely demolished, the altar a
wreck and the beautiful stained glass
windows, nothing more than melted
bits of broken glass!
