It was reported yesterday evening
that the citizen laborers on the Nuuanu
dam construction had become infected
with the campaign cry to catch the
labor vote, and had either struck or
made a demand for higher wages with
Q striking threat attached. Contractor
Whitehouse could not be found by
reporter who sought him to inquire
about the truth or otherwise OF the
report.
If true it means an embarrassing SIT
uation for the contractor, for contracts
are figured upon the basis of the regu-
lar price Of labor at the time of bid
ding for a job. A forced advance IN
the wage rate in the midst or the
work, where several hundred men are
employed as on the Nuuanu danl,
means a serious cut in the contractor
profit IL not its changing into iosS'

LOGICAL RESULTS
OF STUMP bot AIR

Electioneering talk of $50 to 81 day
for road laborers has caused natives on
the Koolau side of the island TO spurn
any offers of work at the old rates. A
man over there had a job of house
moving for which he needed six or
eight laborers. but natives who had
been out of road employment for some
time would not look at the dollar
dav offered. japanese were therefore
employed.

PARK GETS
MORE MONEY
Supervisors Decide Not
to CurtaiI the
Allowance.

The commissioners of Kapiolani Park
are happy.
They have been grubbing along on an
exceedingly small appropriation for
some time and recently received word
that $500 per month must in future be
charming playground.
Figuring on a bedrock basis the ac-
tual park cannot be kept up for less
than $500 and at present there is the
extra expenditure entailed by the max
ing of safe. sandy bathing hole for
the public off the Kunst property late
ly acquired by the county.
Last night three representatives of
the Park Commission waited on the
Supervisors at their meeting, made an
urgent plea for funds and received an
assurance from the board that they
would get an extra 5000 month asked
for until the end of November.
This is as it should be, and it seems
a pity that much larger funds are not
available for the development of the
splendid park, which should, and which
the commissioners fondly hope in time
will, be one of the beauty spots of the
world.
The Supervisors of Oahu County met
last night.
Present We're: Chairman Smith, Su-
pervisors. Dwight, Lucas, Cox, Moore,
Paele and Archer; Stenographer Aea,
Clerks Kalauokalani, Hanale, Buffan-
deau, Assistant County Engineer John
son, L. A. Thurston, H. E. Cooper, J.

The following appropriations were
made:
Fire department, s1O9172.
County Clerk, S261.70

CARTER'S
REQUEST.
Governor Surprises the
Officials at the
Capital.
(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)

(Mail Special to the Advertisero
WASHINGTON, D. c., October s.
Governor Carter's request for instruc-
tions about the appropriations for the
legislature of Hawaii has been receiv-
ed at the Interior Department. 1t
and will be considered by officials of
both the Interior and Treasury De
partments before an answer is re-
turned
The request is looked upon here as a
move in the right direction, for the
tendency all along the line now is to
be careful about how the appropria-
items of Congress are disbursed and
for what purposes.
Mr.. Frank S. Dodge, of Honolulu,
was back IN town yesterday but start
going to Takoma first but expects to
sail from San Francisco on the Ven
tura Since his return here from Bev-
erly, Mass, he has talked with Super
vising Architect of the Treasury Taylor
about the bid of the Bishop Estate for
furnishing a federal postoffice site. The
department is able to give him no def
mite word yet about what will be done
but Mr.. Dodge is very hopeful that the
site offered by the Bishop Estate will
be accepted. 1t is next to the lowest
in price, of any of the Honolulu land
offered and is the site that was recon-
mended by Mr. Eustis, whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt sent out there few
years ago as a special commissioner.
Mr. Dodge visited the offices of the
Board and was assured
that a beacon would be placed near
where the Manchuria went on the reef.
He was also assured that the board is
making good headway towards the con-
struction of the two new lighthouses,
authorized for Hawaii at the last ses-
sion of Congress.
Mr.. George B. Mcclellan, secretary |
to Delegate KalanianaoIe and repre- |
senting the Merchants Association |
has arrived in town the present week !
and opened his apartments at the |

JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS.

Dear Sir: Since last writing, great
deal of my time has been spent in in
vestigating requests for transportation
to Honolulu, of parties who formerly
resided there, and of others who simply
had friends there, and who would enjoy
a trip.
When I first arrived here. [ talked
with Mr.. Fraser, and he said that it
would require several thousand dollars
to pay for the passage of those who
wished to return. OF course, this mat
ter has to be studied out and decided
as the different requests come in, and L
can now say, that | think that unless
some unforeseen eases arise that L Will
not be compelled TO expend more than
one thousand dollars (S1000) in this
line. ] have numerous applications to
send down families, or just the husband
and wife. but it is my policy to dis
courage emigration to Honolulu, and
get work for the man of the family,
right here, or at other places on the
mainland.
The fact that Hawaii has contributed
to fund, opens an avenue for great
many to see me and insist that their
friends in Honolulu contributed to the
fund, and that they surely should have
some of the money expended on them.
l have lately sent two families TO
Portland, Oregon, where the men were
assured of work There is considerable
work here cleaning bricks and in clear
ing debris, and work of that nature;
but as some of this is to hard for some |
of the people in my care, who wish to
here, | am getting employment |
for them in Canneries and other works |
of like nature.
I am sending an account of the |
money 1 have expended, and you will

Business Men at Work
in Temporary Offices
so Close to the Hot
CoalsThatT
Seem to Be in Dan.
ger of Taking Fire.
No Politics for Ten
Years to Come.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10.-Twen-
beginning of the fire which wiped out
the business sections of San Francisco,
and still the flames are leaping from
ruined buildings near the water front.
Five large fires were counted yesterday
in the vicinity of Spear and Beale
streets, showing the wonderful longevi-
4v of half smothered coDfagrations.
The most curious of these lingering
fires was at the corner of Mission and
Spear streets, where, on the site of the
NJ j. Brandenstein warehouse, huge
pile of coffee is still roasting, though
long since overdone. Several tons of
tea are doing their best to add to the
aroma which floats over the spot, and
1T will be many days before the ex-
pensive fuel is exhausted.
Another fire which promises to out
last all others is on the premises of
the Richmond Coal Company, on Spear
street Many carloads of coal are
burning there, and though the firemen
kept hose playing on the pile yes
terday, it does not seem likely that any
of the coal will be saved.
The ruins of the Haslett Warehouse
Company building, at 140 Reale
street, and that of Taber CO., III the
same locality, are still burning, while
heaps of bricks and mortar, from which
smoke continues to ascend, are very
numerous in this section of the burned
district. Under such conditions it is
u remarkable sight to see the snug
temporary offices that are being erect
ed, so close to the hot Goals that they
would seem to be in danger of taking
fire
