project on foot at present to establish
a colony of Beers upon the Ilanos and
Gen. Castro is said greatly to favor it;
but the Venezuelans assert that this
is because he sees chance to augment
his army with tried fighters, not be
cause he favors foreign colonization.
'I sailed 200 leagues down this giant

from the inhibitants Of Caicara and
one or two other small villages. The
only evidence of modern progress that

sighted not one was propelled by steam.

of this region are boundless. The cat

the finest hides that the shoe manufac-

town, however the cattle industry was
so depressed that animals on the hoof
brought only $5. The rubber forests

AMERICAN TARS
WIN BOAT RACE
CREW FROM MANNING PROVE
TOO MUCH FOR THE JACKIES
FROM THE FLORA

The American sailors proved too
much for the tars from II. NJ. s. Flora,
last Saturday i'm the boat race. They
defeated the Britishers by several hun
.dred yards. The race was to have
been pulled at o'clock but some delay
ensued and the start was not made
until nearly o'clock. The crews were
as follows:
Manning-Marthinu coXswain;
Johnson, jefferson, Peterson, Brander,
Jacorlief.
F'lora-McNuity, coxswain; Tierney,
stroke; Bride Crapp, Innes, Brunt,
bow.
Tn boys from the Manning took the
lead and did not give it up during the
race At no time were they in danger
of being defeated. The Britishers took
their defeat in a sportsmanlike manner
and were heartily cheered by the vic
tors. After the race the two crews had
a jolly time on the Manning.

M'FADDEN WINS
AGAINST NELSON
LAST CONTEST BETWEEN THE
TWO CHAMPIONS IS A DECISIVE
ONE.

Jack McFadden won a comparatively
easy victory over Young Nelson on
Saturday night. The contest was a
surprise to those who saw the previous
bouts between the two, i'm which Mel
son made such a showing that odds
were in his favor at the ringside Sat
urday. But McFadden had done more
careful training this time and Nelson
was no longer able to keep up the con-
tinuous jabbing with which he did so
much damage before. Nelson went out
in the eleventh round, after some pret-
ty hard fighting, during which McFad-
den had the best of it nearly all the
time Heine Auerbach was referee.
The fighters began somewhat care
fully in the first round but in the sec
ond they mixed up and Nelson took
the count, though not knocked out.
Nelson probably made his best show
ing i'm the fifth, when he rushed Nc
Fadden to the ropes and did consider
liable damage. but McFadden came back
fresh. Nelson during the remaining
rounds received much punishment on
the face, and his nose and eyes began
to trouble him a good deal 1t was
generally conceded that the fight was
all McFadden's.
The most interesting of the prelim-
inares was between a British tar nam
ed Trescott and an American sailor
known as "Frenchy.' The Englishman
had probably been a good man in his
day, but he was Al years of age and all
that was left was capacity to take
punishment without bothering about it.
For five rounds he was rushed to the
ropes and generally banged about, and
the crowd howled as he came aggres-
sively forward for more after each mix
up. After the fifth round Referee Sui
livan stopped the fight and gave
Frenchy the decision
Kid LAM and Kid Vierra fought five
rounds as the first event. In the fifth
Verra got a punch which appeared to
take away his appetite for any more,
and he very deliberately took a kneel-
ing position and allowed himself to be
counted out 1t was said afterwards
that he didn't understand the count
business and intended to fight some
more.

THE FIELD MEET SATURDAY.
YOUNGSTERS SHOW GOOD FORM

A fair sized crowd witnessed the an

the Boys fsld last Saturday. The
sport was clean and good, the day per-
feet and the meet without hitch
Willie Desha of the Palama club won
the silver medal in the Senior class
and Adrian Bal of the Kamehameha

the Juniors.
Kauluwela won the senior contest
with a score of A. points. Palama

The honors in the juniors contest all
went to the Kams The club, as a
whole won the contest and A. Bal their
nervy little sprinter won the highest in

TWO STRANGE CAREERS.

A certain Fernao Lopez, the earliest exile of St Helena, having deserted 10 the Mohammedan enemy and fallen into the hands of that fierce Christian apoIogist, Alfonso DalbOQuerque, had his nose and ears cut off and his hair plucked' out by the roots to remind him of that sin which was the only one in the calendar which the Portuguese ad- venturer could not forgive. Fearing to return to Europe. he deserted from his ship at St. Helena, and took to the life of a solitary, A cock which was washed ashore half dead became his companion, and he made for himself like Alexander Selkirk. house In the wilds He was in terror lest he should be captured and sent back to Portugal, so he took to the woods whenever a ship put in. But passing sea captains were friendly and left letters and gifts of food for him on the beach; and by and by he was induced to meet them and at his own request was taken to Europe in order to obtain absOlution for his sin of renouncing his faith. This done, he returned to his island and died there after more than thirty years of solitary life.
 A certain Marie David de Mayrena, Comte de Ray. became the ruler of a little people called the Sedangs in the interland of Annam. Immediately the disease of grandeur fell upon him.

| reservoir is 61.0OO. OO0 OOO cubic feet. or | fifteen times that of the new CrOton, and about seven and one-half times that of the Wachusett. The cost of l this dam per million cubic feet storage is only $63.16. Even more remarkable appears the Pathfinder dam. It con- tains 53,0O0 cubic yards of masonry, l erected at a cost of $1,0O0.000. The capacity of the reservoir is 43,560,- l 100000 cubic feet. or more than ten | times that of the Croton. The cost of
 the dam per million cubic feet storage , is therefore only $2295, as against
 $1, 900 for the new Croton, and $23S for the Wachusett. Similar figures for the ShOshone dam, the highest in the world, are; Cubic yards of masonry. 69,000; cost $100O,00O; capacity of reservoir. 20,000, ,000,000 cubic feet; or cost per million cubic feet storage of $50.35.
 These extremely low costs have sell dom been equaled in the history of res ervOir construction. and are due largely to the excellent natural facilities which are found in the rugged western coun- try. From this fact it must not be in- ferred that these western structures are simple engineering works. On the contrary, owing to their isolated loca- tion. their inaccessibility by rail and OIlell DS wagon, ana the eTTdtlc ana torrential character of the streams, they involve problems which tax the skill and ingenuity of their builders to the utmost
 It is most fortunate that these res ervoirs provide enormous storage at relatively low cost. Otherwise their construction would not be feasible, as the irrigated land would not bear the expense of tEc- costly structures of the east with their limited storage ca pac-ity.
 The Croton dam. if it had been con- structed in Salt river valley In Arizona for irrigation, would only supply 2S.0O0 acres. and irrigatOrs would have to pay S330 an acre for stored water. as against s2O. the estimated cost from the Roosevelt dam.
