Kohala, June Ill christen
thee Kohala Ditch, May you bring
blessings, happiness and prosperity
to the people Of Kohala."
In those words Mrs. Samuel Par
ker today set the waters of Homo
kane to flowing down upon the rich
lands Of Kohala. The ceremonies
of the opening of the ditch were
impressive and very beautiful.
The place selected was at the head
of Kalawa Gulch, where the ditch
breaks out through a long tunnel
under the mountain, crossing the
gulch by an aqueduct only to enter
the side of the mountain again and
run sparkling down into the dark.
Over the entrance to this second
tunnel an arch had been erected,
bearing the words "Aloha," white
ribbon upon the red, with bands
of MALE twining down the sides.
PERFECT DAY-cRowD LARGE.
The day was perfect-Kohala
weather, a strong cool wind and a
blue sky, iecked with drifting
clouds from which fell occasional
raindrops. The rolling uplands
shone almost golden green in the
sunlight, and the cane tops nodded
and whispered among themselves
of the water that was soon to rush
down to them, cool and refreshing.
All Kohala, and some parts Of
Honolulu were gathered about the
arch in the head of Halawa Gulch,
and upon the viaduct, and small
boys and Japanese laborers and
Hawaiian men and women in gay
co.ors, picturesque with the long
leis they wore, hung in clinging
clusters upon the steep and grassy
slopes Of the gulch, like bees
swarmed upon a lichen-covered
r stump. And to the chattering
of the people, the dashing of the
water running down through the
spillway and falling into the gulch
far below made a rythmical accom-
paniment. This was the flood that
was to be turned into the ditch to
mark the formal dedication of the
waterway to the purpose of its con-
struction.

THE EXERCISES.


The exercises began appropri-
ately with prayer. The President,
John U. Hind, of the Kohala Ditch
Company, Vice. President Sam Par
ker and Secretary Abe Lewis made
speeches upon the completed work.
These were followed by Secretary
A. L. c. Atkinson, whose speech
electrified the audience, and after
him Governor John Baker was
called and climbed the bank to
make his speech.
He spoke in Hawaiian and from
the effect upon the natives in the
crowd, pleasingly. In effect, he
said that the Hawaiians had tried
once, long ago, to bring water to
these lands, and had failed. Now
the haoles had come and all things
had yielded to them. 49," said
the speaker, "here we have the
water on the land. The trouble
was, in the old times, that the Ha-
waiians had worked only in the
dark, resting in the daytime. The
haoles worked in the darkness and
daylight, regardless Of all things,
and they accomplished results"
1t is a fact that, a long time ago,
one of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
bly, the first of them-tried to carry
water in bitches and tunnels here,
his tunnel-diggers digging them
selves to the surface at short inter-
walls to note whether they were 60
ing true to line, but his project
failed.
After Governor Baker had spok-
en-, Mrs. Parker was handed a
bottle of champagne, from which
red ribbons huttered, and, smash
lug il upon the drawhead, christ
ened the ditch and pulled the lever
that sent 20, 900, 900 of gallons of
water coursing down the long ditch.
Twenty millions of gallons daily
is the amount of water now run
ming in the ditch, filling it to a
depth of two feet. The carrying

New Weapon for Our Navy.

THE new high-speed turbine tor
pedo recently adopted and now being
manufactured for the government"
writes l.. E. Zeh in the March number
Of the Technical World Magazine,
gives to the United States navy one
Of the most powerful and destructive
sea weapons in the world. This new
submarine missile, owing to the terrific
pace it can sustain while in fight
through the water. and the long dis
tance it will travel. is to take the place
of the Whitehead torpedo formerly in
USE"
The superior strategic advantages of
the Bliss Leavitt turbine in naval war
fare over all other types now in ex-
istence. are its surprising speed and
longer range. Four thousand yards is
the extreme distance it will travel, $500
yards being the guaranteed contract
range; at 1900 yards the speed is sc
knots. The turbine has an excess
speed gain of more than 25 per cent,
while going double the distance of the
latest Whitehead, which has speed of
only % knots and a range of 1000
yards. The United States government
has authorized several millions Of dol
lars to be expended for the purchase
and construction of 400 torpedoes of
this type, which in the future will be
the only one used in the navy.

BANKS OF CANADA GAIN; PEG
PIES SAVINGS BIG.
Record of Financial Institutions for
the Year 1908 shows Remarkable

| Record of Financial Institutions for
the Year 1908 shows Remarks bl e
Prosperity All Over the Dominion.
OTTAWA, Ontario, March 1.-The year
which has just closed has been one
most satisfactory and progressive with
the tina9cial institutions of Canada,
and the business of the chartered banks
reflects the unprecedented prosperity
enjoyed throughout the country during
the year 1905.
The increased demands made upon
the banks of the Dominion by the COM
mercal and agricultural expansion of
the year were provided for without the
monetary disturbances sometimes noted
in the United States. Whatever opin-
ions may be held as to the composition
of the Canadian banking system, it is
claimed that its flexible currency has
many commendable features, and with
out which the last few months of the
year must have produced money
stringency With probably disastrous re-
suits. 1t is felt that 81 wider field Of
credit in the Dominion is needed, and
consequently the capital of many exist
ing banking institutions has ieen III
creased and several new banks are in
process of organization.
I The chartered banks of Canada to-
day enjoy the confidence Of the general
public to q greater extent than ever be-
fore. The total deposits of the people
i'll these institutions last year were
S522.31 COG. which shows an increase
OF over S56,OG0,O00 for the year. In
actual money in bank probably no otn-
er country in the world, comparatively
speaking. can make a better showing
than Canadn.
The total deposits of the Canadian
people i'll the government savings
banks. III special savings institutions,
and in the chartered banks alone
amounted last year to the enormous
sum of $G09,454.0O0. This represents
an average credit balance of over 500
per head of the population Of the Do
minion, and it is stated that the only
other country in the world that ap-
proaches this record is Denmark, where
the average credit balance is about
$3.50 per capita. The above figures,
however do not comprehend moneys
deposited with private bankers. loan
companies, mortgage corporations and
trust companies, or what is boarded up
in secret hiding places.
The annual report of the Dominion
finance department. just issued to the
public. shows n surplus in the Domin-
ion treasury for the fiscal year Of ST.
$4,000, and refers to the remarka BILE
increase in the public revenues during
the year.

The ferry dock was crowded with weary
home-goers, when through the crowd
rushed a man-hot, excited, laden to the
chin with bundles of every shape and size.

from the pier. He paused but an instant

went down with resounding crash. When
the arriving man had somewhat recovered

argued that the medicine which was
SO good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for the
women Of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired job
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine were, TO great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the FAM
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia E. Pinkham herself did not
live to see the great success Of this
work. She passed to her reward years
means for continuing her work rs

herself.
During her long and eventful expc-
rience she was ever methOdical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. The case Of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
careful study. and the details, inclnd-
ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since. arc
available to sick women the world
over, and represent q vast collAb0ra-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which, for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in tho
world.
With Lydia e. Pinkham worked her
daughter in law. the present Mrs.
Pinkham. She was arefully instructed
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell the.
direction of the work when its originas
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
five years she has continued it. and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some as
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkhain continues this greatwork, and
probably from the Office of no other
person have so many women been adj
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is "Yours for Health''

Such is the history of Lydia E. Pink.

A Novel Bowlino A,Iev.

From the Street Railway Journal
There have been several types of
bowling alleys invented to do away
with the services of the boy who sets
up the pins. but that here to be de-
scribed differs materially from any of
them. 1t is intended principally for
use in connection with street railway
parks, and its earning capacity in this
respect Is said to be remarkable. At
10 cents a game one alley will earn
$3.50 an hour. This will show a. gross
earning of $3.50 an hour for four alleys.

In this device the balls are returned
by gravity and the pins reset by the
bowler pulling IL lever.

point for the delivered ball. Passing

Hinged balls, suspended from n rod

have their lower crosspieces hanging
across the path of the ball rs it passes
forwardly from the curved runway.
These balls have upward extensions
designed TO engage and knock down the
hinged pins when a bail or balls is or
are struck. A cushion receives the
knocked down pins. After striking one
or more of these balls the ball is then
received into an open-ended box. whose
bottom is covered with sound-deaden-
ing material. The front wall of the
box is provided with "A cushion and a
cushion is arranged along the upper
rear edge Of the box. The direction Of
rotation of the ball. in its travel along
The alley and the curved guideways, is
such that when 1t strikes the first cusr-

TO its momentum, and, unless the ball
is delivered with considerable force
this counter rotation Is sufficient to
overcome the momentum and conse-
quently the ball will not strike the sec

all, possessed of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1643 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and .
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days It
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
In the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that Just ms nature SO
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, il we but take the pains
to find them, In the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
; it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cincs for her own family and friends.
Chief Of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia g. Pink
HAMS friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this SO far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, SO when the Centcn.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
