DELEGATE SMITHS ADDRESS
tConrinued From Page ons)

fIOntlnu5O dSc SupB full statement of facts will lead you to a very different conclusion.
 Bear with me just a moment lon ger. The report has gone broadcast that the rich mines and the railroads of Arizona are maintaining a lobby here to defeat the joint state bill in order to avoid the just taxation that a state government would impose. That is absolutely false. No man from Arizona has been here, to my knowl- edge, except Mir. Frank Murphy for a few days, and his brother, ex-GoV- ernor Murphy. both representing in their individual capacity what all Arizona knows to be the republican sentiment of that territory. and the democratic sentiment as well. There is no truth in the statement that the great railroad systems and the mines ir Arizona were attempting to defeat the joint statehood bill to avoid pro per taxation. was assured by the authorities of both of the great rail roads in Arizona that they favored single statehood for Arizona, and 1 know that they raised no objection when I was pressing such a bill be fore Congress. On the contrary, I re- ceiyed the sympathy of both, their natural desire being to people the country and increase business. The mine owners in Arizona are divided on the question of state or no state for Arizona alone, but not on the joint state or taxation question. Why | should they be? The same people. or the same class of people. who now serve in the legislature, with full power to tax, would serve if it were ] state. What the mines, the rail | roads, the farmers, the laborers, the | merchants. all object to is that New
 Mexico could apply taxes on them

The fate of the statehood bill in the House will Bot by any means end the struggle of the people of Arizona for self government, unless the bill should be amended by striking Ari- zona and New Mexico from the meas ure. The fight being made by the people of Arizona is not based on the question as to where the capital of the new state and the other public institutions shall be located, but on the American principle which upholds justice and fair treatment of all peo- pies. Arizona demands the same treatment in the matter of statehood as has been accorded to all other ter rLtories which have been admitted as states since the foundation of the republic; her people will never con sent to anything less than that self government which was promised when the territory of Arizona wal cut from New Mexico and the terri toriai government established in De
 eember. 1863.

The Albuquerque Fakir JournM calls the citizens of Arizona who op- pose joint statehood "mslconteuts." traders" scoundrels." and the like. Arizona citizens should not take this to heart. That paper represents the most corrupt and selfish political gang In the southwest and is opposed to everything that brings no peif to the gang and to itself. Abuse. islander and Notifications from suoh a source should not be needed to any great extent. The only desire of that gang in advocating joint statehood is to get into position to plunder on a greater scale than 1t is possible for it's members to do in Albuquerque and Fernaiilio county. Should the joint statehood bili pass. the citizens of Arizona will have aschance to get even. and the New Mexican is of the opinion that they will take that chance with vengesnce-New Mex ican-

We have no doubt but what the case was decided by the Supreme Court of the United States upon a strict interpretation of the law, and the Larrieus, together with others, will bow their heads in submission to the law, but the legal owners of the grant were criminally negligent in allowing these people to rest undisuurDed for period of twenty-six years and then step in and dispossess them.

And now it seems that Judge Doan
 has had charges filed against nim
 at Washington. The charges have not been specified. so far as known here, but they are said to include
 both dishonesty and immortality. Judge Doan has been on the bench in Arizona for eight years. and besides his work on the supreme court bench he has served the counties of Pima, Gila, Graham, Cochise and Santa Cruz. Up to the present time there has never been any serious com plaint against him. Last fall there was a general endorsement of him for rcappointment. Judge Doan, ac- cording to report. has signified his desire to meet and refute any charges which have ben lodged against him. The Phoenix Enterprise in announc- ing that charges have been lodged against Judge Doan in Washington, assumes that they have originated in Cochise, but we doubt if this proves to be the fact.

The Itinerary

The invitations to be present at the
formal opening of this great enterprise,
were issued jointly by the Kauai Elec-
trio Company, the McBryde Sugar Com
pany the Hawaiian Electric Company,
who were the consulting as well as the
constructing engineers, and Henry Jae-
ger the contractor for the ditch and
tunnel system. The itinerary of the
journey from the departure from Homo
nolulu at o'clock Friday evening, in
Ciuded a ride up the valley to where
The stream is tapped by the ditch, the
inspection and formal opening of the
power plant itself, the continuation of
the journey by the Mauna Loa around
the picturesque and seldom visited
coast from Wainiha westward, past
Ma Pail, inaccessible except from the
sea, past the barking sands of Mana,
the plantations of Kekaha, Waimea,
NIaiaweli to Eleele landing on Hama
bepe Pay, thence by rail through Nc
Bryde plantation, and to the pumping
plant being operated by the electric
current from Wainiha; thence to La
WAL she beach home of the McBrydes,
where a magnificent luau was served,
thence by conveyance to Koloa land
ing where the party re-embarked for
Honolulu. The entire itinerary &C.

travel by sea, on horseback, on foot,

ouent stops and much to see, was car
ried out without haste and without
delay, absolutely on time, and without
single untoward event, except the
prcstrat'on by over-exertion of F. S.
d Dlsc from which it is believed he will
suffer no serious consequences.
That the itinerary was carried out So
satisfactorily was due to the very care
full arrangements made by w. A. Kin
ney on Kauai; by Mr.. Gartley here; by
the we'll directed and indefatigable eff
forts of President Kennedy of the In
ter-Island Company who accompanied
the party and saw that everything I'M

cordial efforts of the people of Kauai
assisting in the matter; and to the good

The Magic
OF Electricity

To set in motion the machinery of
this magic, to see this wonderful trans
formation and transmutation of power,
to see a valve opened in Wainiha Val
ley and instantly water beginning to
flow through the canefelds of McBryde
thirty-hve miles away, was the legerde-
main that attracted nearly a hundred
men from Honolulu to Kauai last Fri
day evening. They went by the Mauna
Loa leaving at Z o'clock, and returning
shortly after o'clock Sunday morning
Seldom, if ever, have so many men,
prominent in business and in the life
of the community gone on similar err
rand The character of the men who
made up the greater part of the party
was entirely in consonance with the
Importance of the event witnessed.
That event was the formal opening and
Inauguration of the plant of the Kauai
Electric Company. This plant, in eff
feet, consists Of a ditch and tunnel sys-
tenn five miles long, tapping the Wal
nina stream at an elevation of 655 feet,
carrying 6O,OOOOOO gallons a day along
the wall of the valley to a point 575
feet above sea level from whence ii is
dropped down through thirty inch
steel pipes to water wheels of the Pei
ton type. carrying on the same shaft,
great electric generators capable of
developing nearly 5000 horse power.
From these generators, the current of
2200 volts is transformed to voltage
of $4,000 and then carried on three alu-
minum wires across the mountains, 80
miles, to McBryde Plantation, where
it is again transformed to 22O0 volts
and applied, through motors, to the
operation of pumping plants, and some
other purposes. The other purposes
doubtless in time will be increased to
practically all the operations of the
plantation requiring power. Both at
the power house and at the plantation
there are all the appropriate switch
boards and other appliances which the
most modern development of electrical
science has shown to be useful.

The Entertainers

There was an animated scene at the
Inter-Island wharf at the departure of
the party by the Mauna Loa. The YES
sci left the wharf promptly and was
soon out at sea- Contrary to eXpec-
tation, the sea was not heavy, especial
ly under the shelter Of Oahu, and the
whole party was pleasingly entertained
with songs and stories. Among the
entertainers were James A. Wilder,
Gov. Carter, w. e. Rowell, Harry Won
Holt, Walter and Harold Dillingham;,
Captain Humphrey, ]. H. Rowland and
others By five o'clock Saturday
morning the Mauna Loa vas at anchor
in Hanalei Bay at the mouth of Wal
nina Valley. The whole party were
soon ashore, by boats from the steamer
to the landing built for the convenience
of the great work just completed. A
most delightful and bountiful break
fact was served in the warehouse on
the shore, under the direction of Mrs
w. A. Kinney, Mrs. George Fairchild,
Mrs. Alice Hastings, Mrs. Harry Mac
farlane, Mrs James w. Robertson, Mrs
II. A. Jaeger, Mrs Deverill, the Misses
Robertson, Helen and Alice Macfarlane
assisted by many of the people of Wal
nina and Hanalei. 1t was great day
for Hanalei, and 1t was said that her
whole population had poured itself in
to Wainiha for the occasion,
Following breakfast about fifty Of
the party, including Governor Carter,
Chief Justice Frear, Mr. and Mrs.
Greage Fairchild, Mrs. Harry Mac

w. N. Grant an electrical engineer.
The wiring here has all been done by
John Cassidy.
The power after being generated and
transformed to the required voltage is
carried on three aluminium wires,
heavily insulated, across the valley to
the eastward, across Lumahai and
Hanalei valleys, and thence south
ward, and around to McBryde planta-
tion. Some of the enormods difficulties
overcome in constructing this line
may be imagined when it is known
that there are places i'm the line where
it took eight Japanese an entire day
to get one pole up the mountain and
In place. 1t had behn originally hoped
to carry the line out of the western
side of the valley and along the an
cient trail across the district of Wal
mea, this trail being even now passable
for man on horseback to within a
mile and a half of WANNA valley. But
the difficulties Of getting the right of
way over this route were considered
greater than the difficulties of con-
struction over the other.
At the power house W. A. Kinney
and A. Gartley, explained fully the
theory and working of the water pow
er and the electrical machinery. Soon
after the return of Governor Carter
from the intake up the valley. the
ceremonies Of Inauguration took place.

The Ditch And Tunnel

The ditch and tunnel is carried along
the wall of the valley at an even grade.
In it's course it receives the waters of
the large numbers of intercepted
streams, but spillways at intervals will
keep the volume of water down to the
required amount. OF the five miles of
ditch and tunnel, three and a half
miles are tunnel Ditch and tunnel
are everywhere above the trail They
empty their water into a cemented
forebay in which some of the members
Of the party took a refreshing swim
Here and everywhere the greatest pre-
cautions have been taken to exclude
sand and rocks from the ditch and es-
pecially from the thirty inch steel pipes
which lead the water from the forebay
to the power house. These pipes are
brought down at very steep angle
and are entirely covered with earth.
The power house is a concrete struc-
ture built on the firmest possible foun-
dations to resist the enormous pressure
of the 500 foot head of water in the
thirty inch pipes. Within the power
house there is arrangement for three
units Of machinery. Each unit con-
sists Of a steel shaft supported in jour
nails resting solidly on the foundations
of the building; in the middle of this
shaft is a 3-phase electrical generator
of alternating current type, and on
each end Of the shaft is a water wheel
Of the Pelton type. Each of the thircy
inch steel pipes bringing the water
down from the forebay, divides, when
IT reaches the level of the power house
into two pipes, each of which carries
the water to one of the Pelton wheels
Only one Of these units is yet actually
i'm place and operation Another will
be shortly while a third awaits the
need of further power.
The water is turned on and off by a
valve operated easily by one man. and
the amount of water is adjusted auto
matically to the load to be carried The
construction at the power house has
been under the immediate direction OF

half up the valley, and from there on
horse back up the valley. nearly six
miles farther, to the intake.
At no point is the valley more than
a mile and three quarters wide from
crest to crest of it's combining walls. III
most places it is not more than a mile
and half wide For most Of / length
the pals on either side rise from 1000
to 4,525 feet above sea levei IT'S gorge
like character may be conceived from
this. In ancient times a foot trail
led up the valley for about six miles
and then out over the western pail,
and past the Alakai swamp through the
district of Waimea, across the head wa
tiers of the Waimea river and down the
western side of the Waimea river to
Waimea village. But for the purposes
Of construction a new trail had to be
built from the power house To the in
take. As large quantities of material
had to be carried over this trail. and as
is was intended to be permanent. it was
built in the most substantial manner.
Most of the way it is paved with fiat
stones like a Roman highway. A tele-
phone line is now being built along the
trail, connecting all parts of the valley
system of the plant

POlihale

Not far beyond this, is the most sa-
cred spot in Hawaiian mythoiogy-Po
lihale-the precipce to wnicn journey
ed the spirits of all dS1ng Hawaiians
and from which they jumped into Pc,
the Stygian darkness of Hawaiian
mythology. The remains of the Poll
hale heiau are still there and are visi-
BILE from passing vessels.
Just beyond this tn, character OF
the coast changes again. The level
lands of Mana jut ou& looking from
this point like a great sand spit. Here
are the barking sands and beyond, the
sand swept area gives place to fertil-
ity, and Kekaha plantation begins, a
narrow ribbon of green stretching
along for twelve miles. Nesting at
the mouth of Waimea river is Wal
mea plantation, the location of one OF
the earliest missionary stations on the
islands, and just across the bay from an
older spot, historically considered, the
site of the Russian FSrt established
more than a century ago but aban-
doned by the Russians when Kameha-
meha the Great demanded their retire.
ment
Here the vast and fertile area Of
Makaweli plantation begins, stretching
to the Hanapepe River and McBryde.

with pump installation already ar
ranged for will give an additional 15.-
100000 gallons a day to the McBryde
supply, the cost of pumping of which
is already met.
As the development Of power in
Wainiha Valley is continuous, Mr.
Stoddart explained that the cost Of
pumping would be merely the fixed
charges and the slight cost Of operat-.
ing the pumps Pumping therefore
could be continuous, and when the wa
ter was not needed on the cane it could
be turned into the reservoirs. The
power had already been applied to the
machine shop to the saving of a con-
siderable amount of coal. 1t might be
applied to the mill, possibly later to
the steam plows. and eventually to
every process on the plantation requir-
ing power.
From the pumping plant the party
was taken to the mill and through the
cane fields, making a complete inspec-
ton Of McBryde plantation.

in a valley just at this point, that the

long defled capture The whole scene
Of the battlefield where ne fought and

character of the mountains change.
This far they are well watered and

be arid and verdureless. They escape
the trade wind rains because of the
trend of the coast line, and receive no
rain except the rare Kona storms.

Wainiha Valley

Very interesting in connection with
the development of water and electric
power in Wainiha valley. is the modern
history of the valley itself. w. r.
Rowen who was born i'm a little valley
just over the ridge to the eastward of
Wainiha, says that he can remember
when the valley resounded throughout
it's length with the sound of the tapa
beaters. Everywhere tapa was be-
ing made, for it constituted an i'm
portant article in the domestic life of
the people Now there is neither tapa
made nor probably anyone who can
make it. The population of the valley
was once in the thousands. Now 1t
is about fifty When Mr.. Lydgate and
Mr.. Rdwel were making their re-
conuoissances of the valley they had
many talks with a native whose grand
father had been the agent to collect
the taxes for the chief of that region,
This taX-gatherer in the course of his
occupation was obliged to know the
cultivator of every foot of cultivated
land in the valley, and in those days
there was cultivation carried on clear
to the very head of the valley. Ac-
NblN4li5 ~ Nlllo AtlA-BtlNiltlti , ItthOli~
ing there were in the valley in his time
$4,000 people. While this is in all prob
ability a great exaggeration there is
no doubt that there was once a teem-
ing population within it's walls,
