AZ a result of recent scientific in
vestigations it may be possible to
revise our ideas of the barrenness Of
the Saraha desert since it has been
found by boring that there are numer
Gus springs which rise to the surface
and make possible a system of irri-
cation. In the territory to the south
of Algeria a government irrig:tio
survey has been at work making
series of deep test borings, some of
which are as deep as 1000 feet. In
this way considerable water has beer
encountered and in certain cases al
ready twice the usual amount of wat
er has been made available for the
palm groyes.-Harper's Weekly.

Old Shoes.

Prudent France utilizes everything;
nothing is wasted there. Old shoes
are bought up in quantities by rag
dealers and sold to factories, where
the shoes are taken apart and SUBJ
mitted to long processes, which turn
them into paste. from which the ma
terial is transformed into an imita-
tion leather appearing much like the
finest morocco. Upon this material
stylish designs are stamped, and wan
papers, trunk coverings and similar
articles are manufactured from it.

GREAT IRRIGATION WORK.
It Has Reclaimed Ten Million Acres
In the Southwest.


American irrigation was old
when Rome was in the glory of its
youth" says G. J. Blanchard In THE
National Geographic Magazine" The
ancient aqueducts and subterranean
canals of South America, extending
for thousands of miles, once sup
piled great cities and irrigated i'm
mense areas. Centuries before the
venturesome Norsemen landed upon
the bleak and inhospitable shores OF
New England large population
dwelt In the hot valleys Of the far
with primitive tools of stone, they
cut bitches and hewed the blocks for
many chambered palaces, which they
erected in the desert or on the lime
stone lodges of deep river canyons.
These voiceless ruins, older than the
memory of many centuries. tell the
story Of thrifty, home loving and
semi-cultured people. concerning
whose fate history brings US no
word. In these palaces and In many
miles Of canal we may almost read
the story of another Egpyt-a peo-
Pile toiling under the burning sun Of
the desert. YEARLY and patiently ex-
ecuting the commands of an Ameri-
can Pharoah."
In the last quarter of a century q
crop producing area of 100000
acres, equal in size to the State Of
Massachusetts,. has been wrested
from the desert. Irrigation canals
long enough to span the earth twice
and representing an outlay of $780,
100000 have been built. Every year
this area returns a harvest valued at
nearly twice the cost Of the irriga-
ton canals. The United States is to-
day the largest owner Of the Great
American Desert-no doubt, as Mr..
Blanchard explains. because 1t was
not considered worth stealing. For
many years the sentiment has been
growing that the government should
make this vast empire habitable, and
this sentiment crystallized into the
Reclamation law, signed by Presi.
dent Roosevelt on June IT. 1902.
The first of the great irrigation
works undertaken by the govern
ment is in Nevada. In the bed OF an
cient Lake Lahontan and embrace
ing what was long known as Forty
Mile Desert. the most desolate and
arid spot on this continent except
Death Valley, tho engineers COM
pleted the plans for an extensive ir-
rigation work involving some rather
novel engineering features. the
greatest and most important Of
which is that of lifting the waters Of
the Truckee, River into the great
canal. which will carry them over
into the Carson River Reservoir,
whence they are diverted into lat
erals and carried out upon the des-
ert. When completed the Truckee-
Carson works will cost more than
100000 and render productive
more than 100000 acres now abso-
lutely worthless, but which, when
irrigated, will sell readily for $780,
600, 900 1t is estimated.

MR.w. II. CRAWFORD SAYS FIREMEN.
DID SPLENDID WORK.

Mr.. w. H. Crawford, president Of
he Crawford Wooden Co., returned
from New York Thursday and made.
examination of the damage from the
fire in the wooden mill on Wednesday
night. He states that there will be no
suspension of business, and that two
thirds of the burned department is now
being operated. MI. Crawford's estimate
of total loss Is $4,000. He declared that
he greatly appreciated the work Of the
firemen, and recognized that it was a
difficult and dangerous blaze to fight.
Mr.. Crawford has been very. generous
with the fire department, an this
served to nerve the boys to gre alter eff
forts in their attempt to save the
property and prevent loss by suspen-
S on of business. OF course, the DAM
aged portion will be Immediately re-
placed, and as it is Mr.. Crawford's
usual method TO improve things, the
new portion will be better than before.

KA|ULANI HOME
Will BUILD

SO successful has been the work of
the Kaiulani Home for Girls that in
the near future it will move from its
present quarters to a new building
which is to be erected on the old A. +
Cooke property Immediately across the
way from the Castle Kindergarten on
King street.
The new premises will accommodate
fifty girls whereas the present quar-
ters can only look after twenty-siX,
and it is a close squeeze at that. The
exact details of the new home have
not yet been settled, but a final meet
ing to decide on the plans will be held
on Saturday. 1t is understood that the
new property, when completed, will
have cO5t in the neighbOrhood of $685.
OOO
The plans, as drawn up by W. o..
Merithew contemplates the erection Of
three sides or a square enclosing a
quadrangle. The rooms will be single
for the most part but such girls as are
related will have a chance of securing
double rooms.

up the fifty places?" echoed the Mat
ron, Mrs. S. d. Heapy, this morning

twenty-six girls here now and there
are no less than twenty-elght on the

been established have we had less than
fifteen on the waiting list. Perhaps
we have been too quiet about the home
but we do not wish to have it thought
that the institution is in any sense one
of charity. 1t is a home for self-sup-
porting girls, for girls who look after
themselves and while they are here we
try to help them in every way that we
can"

CARTER
REFUSES
TO SIGN
GOVERNOR WILL NOT LAY ASIDE
JACK COMES.

Governor Carter this morning declin-
ed to sign any of the papers submitted
to him, for a transfer of the executive
department to Secretary Atkinson. The
principal paper in question is a letter
stating that Carter's illness, as certi-
fled by his physician, is such that he
is not fit for business and asking that
the Secretary act, in accordance with
the Organic Act II vas expected that
it would be signed today and would be
ready for the Secretary on his arrival
tomorrow.
The governor stated this morning that
he was not disposed to discuss any
business matters. The letter to Atkin-
son was sent to him several days ago
and has been in his possession since. 1t
is not known whether the refusal this
morning to sign means simply that the
governor was not disposed to take the
matter up, or that he had decided that
he didn't want to sign. 1t is thought
possible that he prefers to see Atkin-
son personally first and arrange mat
ters later.
In the absence of any official COM
munication on the subject, it may be a
question whether Atkinson is acting
governor tomorrow or not. The COVER
nor's physician has certified to his be-
ing too i'll to act and this may of itself
be sufficient under the Organic Act to

SMITH BACK
FROM MANILA

c. H. Smith, consulting engineer for

Doric from Manila today and is heart
lily glad to be home.
That's no country for me-" he said.
Honolulu is good enough. The place

a native Filipino who would not stick
a knife into any American if he dared.
Yes, I'm glad to be back"
w. H. Hoogs, he said, was in Manila
when he left, but was intending to
come back either on the S. S. Dakota
to Seattle or by the s. S. Athenian of
the c. P. r. line. He was going to San
Francisco.
Lord & Belser succeeded in obtain
ing contracts for two sections of the
new waterworks proposition. The sec

SOLDON
TRUST
BEEF TRUST ANSWER SAYS HE
DISPOSED OF ANCIENT COW
FOR FIVE DOLLARS.

Lorrin A. Thurston filed six beef
trust answers in the Federal court this
afternoon, one Of them being his own
and five others those of clients. Thurs
tons own answer contains a new feat
ure, in that he declares that during all
the time covered by the governments
complaint he only owned three cows
and a calf. He sold one of the cows to
the Metropolitan Meat Company for S5,
fearing that it was about to die of old
age. Thurston says that the company
charged him 81 for driving the aged
bovine to market, and that he has not
yet received the balance of 49, Setting
forth this as the whole of his personal
dealings with the Metropolitan Meat
Company, Thurston denies specifically
all the charges that he is i'm any trust
or combine.
The other answers filed by Thurston
are for John Broad, Louis Won Temp
sky, H. p. Baldwin, r. c. Searle and
the Haleakala Ranch Company All of
them generally and specifically deny
the trust charges. Another feature Of
all the answers which is not i'm other
answers is a denial of the statement
that beef can be raised on island ranch
es at a cost of cents a pound. The
respondent say that this cen be done
on few If any" ranches here, and also
denies that beef can be imported here
at such a price.

Speaking of political conditions Smith
stated that Taft was most unpopular

that Luke Wright was a good man ex-
cept for the reason that he was not al

the resentment of the Filipinos to-
wards Americans was, he said, quite
plain, and he thinks that it would not
be at all a bad thing for a revolt to
break out so that United States troops
could suppress it, teach the Filipinos
a lesson and at the same time awaken
the people of America to a realization
of the task ahead of them in the at

DRAWER
IN SAFE
DEFENSE IN EN-
BEzzLEMENT CASE is A VERY
BRIEF ONE.

The defense of E. Vivian Richardson.
charged with embezzlement of water
works money, occupied only half an
hour this afternoon. Three witnesses
were called by Attorney Robertson.
They were Auditor Fisher, b. P. zab-
Ian of the district court and D. H
Lewis.
Col. Fisher testified that a sum Of
$204, which was referred to in the pro-
secution's case as having come into the
possession of Richardson, showing that
he had money on hand at the time OF
the alleged offense, had been paid into
the treasury. Fabian testified as to the
evidence given by Andrew Brown su-
perintendent of the water works, at the
district court hearing He said that
Brown had testified that the defendant
had private drawer in the safe from
which he is said to have taken gov
ernment money.
Lewis testified to playing with Rich
ardson in the dice game on the evening
when Richardson secured the money!
He said that Richardson was apparent
ly too drunk to know what he was do
ing
When the defense closed the jury was
excused and attorneys proceeded to set
tie instructions. The case will prob
ably go to the jury tomorrow.

how to make her own clothes" she
said. IF she does not / get one of the
girls who Knows now to sew to teach
the new girl. There is no person in the
world who has a greater regard for
education than / have, but after all,
when a man marries a girl he is very
apt to think more of her if she knows
how to keep house than if she knows
all about quadratic equations.
I'VE make no distinctions here on
the matter of race and creed and all
are treated alike. The girls give very
little trouble in fact, for the last year
the matter of discipline has been one
of little worry, although it was not so
good when we first started. The girls
are expected to go to church every
Sunday morning, but they have per-
feet freedom to go to what ever church
they desire.
What do we charge? Well the ex-
pense to a girl is $40 a month, payable
in advance, for board and lodging, we
give them facilities for doing their own
laundry work If they wish to do it, but
otherwise they must pay for it. / am
trying my best TO help them and 1
must say that the girls az appreca-
tive and thoughtful in return. When
we get the new home our sphere of use
fulness will of course be largely
widened."
A look round the present home show
ed exquisite neatness and this is OBJ
viously one essential on which the
Matron prides herself. At present the
rooms are made into dOrmitones IN
which several girls sleep but the new
arrangement will obviate this.

is composed OF Mrs Henry Waterhouse'

Y. Amin admitted to the Grand jury
late yesterday afternoon that he was
engaged in running a che ia game, on
the first Of the present month. In
answer to the direct question which
contempt proceedings had finally fore

that on the date mentioned in the
question, he had been engaged in con-
ducting a lottery game known as che

string of questions, which were left for
this morning. Amin was released from
custody and at ten o'clock this morn

In the meantime the che ia games
