Irrigation in Hawaii

attention on Maui the investigation
was dropped.
In 1889 the Hawaiian government,
through j. NJ. Lidgate, made thorough
examination of the upper portion of
the Kohala Mountains in Hamakua for
the purpose of furnishing water for
fuming and domestic purposes to the
Hamakua plantations. Mr.. Lidgate
found that a daily supply of about T.
100000 gallons could be obtained from
the high elevations where he proposed
locating his ditch. This water would
have come from the Waipio streams,
but he stated that it would not in any
way interfere with the valleys below
as at no time would the 100000 gal
Ions proposed to be taken exceed the
one-hundredth part of the Waipio sys-
tenn"
The next investigation made i'm these
mountains was conducted by w. w.
Bruner, in 1892, for the Hawaiian gov
eminent and was made from the Ko-
hala side of the mountains for the pur-
pose of furnishing a domestic supply
to the plantations and homesteads in
the Kohala district. This survey, like
that of Mr.. Lidgate, was made near
the top of the watershed under inves-
tigation, and to keep up the parallel
the report and maps were carefully
stored away in the archives of the
minister of the interior.
The impetus given the sugar bust
ness by annexation to the United
States caused some of the plantations
in Kohala to install expensive pumping
machinery to raise water for irrigating
their cane lands. This indication that
the plantations We're in ernest in their
desire for water induced the writer to
visit Hawaii in 1900, and to make a
more extended investigation into the
quantity of water to be obtained and
the approximate cost Of conducting the
same to homesteaders and plantation
consumers. After spending several
months studying the situation, l be-
came convinced that it would prove a
good commercial proposition to con-
serve the mountain water then running
waste into the sea, leading it to con-
sumers in the districts east and west
of the watershed.
During 1901 and part of 1902 the Ber-

Andrew Carnegie's Gift
To Princeton And His
Plea FOrICIean Sports

PRINCETON, December 6-Althougb
he declared himself against foot ball
the most popular sport in Princeton,
Andrew Carnegie won an enviable place
in the hearts of the men Of the univer-
sity yesterday when he formally pre-
scented Carnegie lake to the insutu-
ton. Heretofore there had been no
place where the students could skate
in the winter nor any favorable spot
for rowing practice, and Princeton's
vacant place in the intercollegiate
Rowing Association has long been felt
by the Orange and Black athletes. The
entire faculty in academic procession
escorted Mr.. Carnegie to Alexander
Hall, where the students gathered to
hear the speeches attending the pre-.
sentation of the lake.
Prof Wilson introduced Mr.. Carne-
gle, who told how he had built the lake
and prided himself that it was the
largest Of his achievements in the lake
building business.
II hope your graduate committees
most sanguine expectations will be re-
allied" he said, "and that Princeton
will win her laurels in future and enter
the university contests upon the loch,
not with unvarying success, however

friendly champions of the other side
and feels that turn about is the best
play.
sport should be educative. I fear
the intense go of the young and mid
die aged and even old American devel-
oped in our stimulating air render this
lesson difficult in at least one Of its
forms. What's the use of playing eX-
cept we win, is apt to be the spirit in
which we struggle. Now the advan.
tages of playing are regardless OF who
wins or loses Proper athletic eXer-
else is like virtue, its own reward, and
both winners and losers must be equal
ly benefited.
ANTAGONIST NOT SPORT.
Here seems to me the true spirit of
genuine sport. The more and the Oft
ener we play with each other the closer
and warmer the ties of friendship be-
come. Acquaintance ripens into
friendship. Should any college games
be played in the land, or races rowed
on the lake at Princeton, with the re-
suit that a spirit of jealous rivalry and
personal 'antagonism spring therefrom,
rest assured that game or race cannot
be good either for the participants or
for the university.
Athletics should be shared by all.
Sport restricted to the few can be of
only small service to any institution.
1t should be general and participated
in from love of it. When the sole OBJ
ject is vanquishing your friends, it
ceases to be genuine sport and be-
comes a struggle. One sure test can be
applied. True sport after every game
leaves the contestants closer friends
than before. New friendships are

The plantations of the Kohala and
Hamakua districts are among the old
est and have been in years past among
the most productive of nonirrigating
plantations in these islands. Owing
to the destruction of the forests on
the highlands behind the plantations
the rainfall during the last twenty five
years has been constantly decreasing,
and Notwithstanding an increase in
acreage the annual output in sugar has
greatly diminished.
The Kohala Mountains, between 1000
and 5000 feet elevation, and lying di-
Hectly in the path of the rain clouds
forced by the trade winds between the
high mountains of Mauna Kea, on
the island of Hawaii and Haleakala,
on the Island of Maui, furnish one of
the best watersheds on these islands
1t has long been the desire of the own
ers of the various plantations in Ko-
hala and Hamakua to obtain a water
supply for domestic and irrigating pur-
poses, because during many of the sea-
sons of drought the Hamakua planta-
tions in particular have been compell-
ed to cart water from the mountain
streams for the purpose of supplying
their labOrers and animals with this
most needful liquid.
One of the first attempts to In
vestigate the watershed under discus
sion was made during the summer of
1880, when George z. Williams, then
manager of the Kohala plantation,
commissioned the writer to ascertain
the feasibility of obtaining water for
fiuming purposes for the above planta-
ton. most bountiful supply was
found to exist in the numerous per-
manent streams, but owing to the ex-
cessive cost Of bringing the same onto
the plantation and the lack of CO.
operation among the various interests
in Kohala Mr.. Williams abandoned the
proposition. In 1883 or 1884 Mr.. H. p.
Baldwin, in company with Mr.. Schus-
sler, of San Francisco, made a partial
investigation of the Kohala Mountains
from the Hamakua side for the purpose
of furnishing water to the plantations
in Hamakua. Owing to more import

Among the list of companies res

whose representative on the Pacific
Coast was among the first to insist
that San Francisco claims should be
settled 100 cents on the dollar. This
company stands by the side of the
Commercial Union and the Alliance,
who on account of earthquake clauses
refused to recognize liability for San
Francisco losses and later decided to
compromisye at so and rs cents on the
dollar.
The refusal of the English companies
to pay will cost Valparaiso just $12,0OO,-

sent stand and do not compromise.

New York, Jan. 27.-Billy Murray,

City team, is one Of the many baseball
managers who believe in the ability of
college ball tossers to make good in
fast company.
"There IS nothing like a good, hust-
ling college player to infuse ginger
into team when things are going
bad,'' said Billy, in discussing the sub
ject recently. II dom mean to imply
by this that team composed Of four
or five collegians and the rest tried
stock will stand chance with team
composed Of players who have under
gone thoro course in the minor
leagues. "a. h. s

team is in the slough Of dependency
when a fast infelder with plenty of
ginger, substituted for someone else
will work wonders. His activity will

It is with his pitchers that Manager
Duffy will have the busiest time. There

given a treatment almost daily. The
trouble which "Rube' had with his
arm last fall proved SO serious that it
is probable that he realizes that he
must use every possible effort to get
his salary earning arm into condition.
Good judges Of players, tho, do not
believe that he will prove Of much

hot weather sets in. If Waddell is
careful he should be of great value to

Sanford Faculty Trains Reform
Gums on the National Came
Only Marbles Left Now.

Stanford. University, Jan. 27.-Since
the clearing Of the football horizon the
faculty athletic committee has turned
its attention to baseball and has placed
the ban Of disapproval on that form Of
undergraduate. sport.
According to the report Of the com
mittee, which is signed by DR.. Frank
Angell, baseball is subject to more
abuses than any other form Of inter
collegiate sport, and a remedy must be
found if the game is to be played as an
intercollegiate pastime. The memorial
reads: ~.
''The committee considers that base
ball stands on distinctly lower level
than any other college sport at this
university, both as regards the spirit Of
amateurism and Of courtesy and fair
ness Of play. The rules governing
baseball are professional rules, e1abo-
rated by professional players, and the
tricks and manners Of the professional
game are not only initiated, but also
applauded in amateur games.
Play for Vile Money.
: "This committee has as yet had very
little difficulty with the question Of the
summer hotel ball player, which has
been such menace to college baseball
in the east; but in the town and COM
mercial mines, as they exist on this
coast, there exists, in all probability, q
factor of still greater danger to amateur
baseball. Teams Of this class play for
gate receipts, which mainly go toward
compromising the semi-professional and
poorer professional players comprising
the nucleus of these mines, and it is
from teams Of this sort that most Of our
varsity ball players are offered induce
during the summer vacation. The
committee has no objection to stu
dent meeting has expenses by profes-
sional or semi-professional ball playing
SO long as he is not a candidate for q
position on a varsity team; but it does
not consider it fair that such player
should compete with strict amateurs fol
these positions, and it objects most
strongly to the introduction Of brush.

sity ball playing. .~ e..
