Gentlemen: l beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your communication, of the 9Th
inst, from which it appears that Lee
hua avenue, at Pearl City, has been
maintained as private road until
work on the same was taken up re-
Gently by the County Supervisors.
/ l note that gate was formerly plac'-
ed about half way down the road from
Pearl City station, that this was after
wards removed to the vicinity of Pearl
City and taken out at the time the
,macadamizing of the road was under
taken by the county.
As you are unwilling to execute a
deed to the Territory of Hawaii for the
road In question. / do not see how II
can be accepted as a public highway.
However. II you desire to grant an
easement to the County OF Oahu 80 that
the road can be open to the public, I
suppose this will be satisfactory to the
Supervisors. : Yours respectfully,

10 the Honorable Board OF supervisors,

Gentlemen: l would respectfully ask
that something be done to'l lay the dust
on the Diamond Head road, which runs
from the end of the car line out to-
wards the lighthouse. The dust is very
bad, and we who live out there have
to wade through 1t whenever we go
out. as there is no sidewalk for our
use. 1t is road much used by tourists
and picnickers and is much travelled.
A sidewalk for the use of pedestrians
ought to be put down, II only to save

L. A. Thurston said that the commits
sioners had figured things on a bedrock
basis. The only way to come near the
proposed $500 allowance would be to do
away with the expenses of prison labor.
II would be too bad to stop the excel
lent work being done on the bathing
pool off the Kunst property by the
prison laborers. Already men, women
and children were flocking to the spot
to avail themselves of the public bath
ing privileges.

beauty spots OF the world.

TRIED ON OLD CHARGE.
Amos A. Roper Convicted of Cruelty
to a Horse

Amos A. Roper. former policeman and
proprietor of a wood and coal business.
was convicted by jury In the Police Court
yesterday on a charge o fcruelty to ami
mails, alleged to have occurred February
8, 1905, exactly one year previous.
This was Roper's second trial. At the
time of the alleged cruelty and his first
arrest, he forfeited collateral He was
brought into the Police Court on an attach
ment, however, and was tried before Judge
Charles F. Scott, now deceased, and was
convicted and fined $50. A motion for a
new trial was granted and the second hear
ing was continued until yesterday.
Attorney Campbell Darlington appeared
for the defendant.
During the course of the trial, which con-
tinued through two afternoons, many wit
nesses on both sides were examined On
the part of the government, the testimony

North Capitol streets on February 0, 1895.
In an endeavor to get the horse t. move
along, the testimony of the government
showed that Mr.. Roper stood up in his
wagon and beat the horse with a heavy
black whip. and that he beat and kicked
the horse so that welts were raised on the
horse and that blood from the animal 8

WALLACE AND PANAMA CANAL.
Former Chief Engineer Volunteers
Some Suggestions.

John F. Wallace, former chief engineer
of the isthmian canal commission, made a
statement in New York yesterday correct
ing number of misapprehensions regard
ing his testimony before the Senate commit
tee on interoceanic canals the early part of
this week:
'In my examination on matters connected
with the Panama railroad and steamship
line on Wednesday," said Mr.. Wallace,
some of the press reports were at consider
able variance with regard to what l ac-
tually said.
II made the statement that prior to my
leaving the isthmus, in June last, the
through rates from New York to San Fran
cisco by the way of the Panama route were
about 80 per cent less than the through
transcontinental rates by rail from New
York to San Francisco. The press had
these figures reversed.
II also made the statement that that part
of the through rate from New York to San
Francisco by the way of the isthmus, which
was credited to the Panama railroad line
for the transit Of goods between Colon and
Panama, was about 81 per ton.
THE significance of this statement lies IN
the fact that a fiat charge of 81 per ton on
all freight, without regard to classification,
would give commerce the same advantage,
as far as the freight rate is concerned, as
it would receive by the construction of the
canal, unless that rate were made lower
than the rate at present charged for the
transit of freight through the Suez canal,
and that this could not make any disturb
ance In the through transcontinental rates
which now exist, by rail, between New York
and San Francisco, the essence OF this state
ment being that the through transconti-
mental lines could have no motive in Yigor-
ously delaying the construction Of the Pan
anna canal, as the rates by rail between
New York and San Francisco for freight
shipped by the isthmian route, compared 10
the through transcontinental rates by rail
between New York and San Francisco,
would not be materially disturbed.
1.-THE point / desire to make clear in this
entire matter is that the fiat 81 rate across
the isthmus of Panama could be immedl-
ately put into effect by the United States
government and would anticipate as far as
rates are concerned, the ultimate benefit
due TO the construction of the canal
'As the object of constructing the canal is
to exnedite and reduce the cost of freight
traffic across the isthmus, 1t would seem
logical for the United States to Immediately
nroyide means to enable this to be done and
anticipate the benefits to be derived from
the construction of the canal at the earliest
possible date.
