his assistants, Messrs. Joseph Buker
and j. @. Nenffer and Mr.. H. X. SAT-
ford, first assistant principal engin-
eer. bear fruit Paducah shops and

and at once This was announced
this morning and will mean another
economic move in engine movements
and the disposition of cinders from
the pits in the shop yards.
A new set of einder pits will be in
stalled and rearrangement of
tracks made in the shop north Yards
This step is taken to facilitate the
cleaning of engines and precludes
blockadss in the shop yards by
switch engines and incoming and out
going engines in passenger service.
A great deal of time is consumed
in shoveEng cinders from the pits
The new pits will be built on differ
eat lines. Cinders are dumped and
raked from fire boxes into an in
olined pit and the cinders removed
by means OF locomotive crane. The
crane will be similay to those sup
piled on gravel diggers and the sc-
cumulauons of "a hours can be re-
moved in one hour
A Encouragement of tracks in the
ayrds will be made Two tracks will
be set aside for "leads" one TO be
used for all engines coming from the
Illinois Central depot TO the round
house and for north bound trains
These are not to be used by switch
engines.
Another track will be used for thel
cinder ph and will preclude block
AIDES and delays to engines being
cleaned and also to switch engines
working in the yards.
These Improvements will save the
road thousands of dollars in the
course of a few years. and will be
made at once. ii is Officially stated.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-12-29

mination of the Waipio and Honokane
water resources that has ever been
made in the Kohala mountains. Very
fortunately this investigation was
made during one of the most severe
droughts that has been recorded in
Kohala or Hamakua, and the data can
be relied upon as being the minimum
flow of the streams gagged
Early in 1901 an application was
made by Col S. Parker, the lessee Of
a considerable portion of the Kohala
Mountains to the territorial government
for a franchise or license to take the
water from the government land in the
Kohala Mountains for the purpose of
conducting the same to homesteaders
and plantation consumers. Almost i'm
mediately after it became known that
Colonel Parker and his associates had
applied for a franchise to develop the
water in question, numerous other ap-
plicants and claimants appeared all
asking for the franchise and express
ing their willingness to spend their
time and money for the benefit Of the
people of Kohala and Hamakua.
After three years of investigation in
Honolulu and Washington as to the
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-12-29

rights of the various claimants, the
matter was brought to an issue by the
territorial officials submitting the
franchise to public competition at an
upset price. The agent of Colonel Par
ker and associates became the pur-
chaser, and in the latter part of Jan,
uary, 1905 work was commenced on
the Kohala ditch.
This ditch consists of two sections.
The first section from Hawi plantation
to Honokane dhe first large mountain
stream) is more than 10 miles in length
and consists of 8 miles of tunnels, one
half mile of huming, and miles of open
ditching. The tunnels and open ditch
ing are all lined with concrete or stone
set in cement mortar, making a per-
manent job and reducing seepage to a
minimum. This first section was COM
pleted on June 1 of this year and is
now supplying its consumers with an
average of 100000 gallons daily. The
ditch has a capacity of 7O0O0,0O0 gallons
daily, and delivers the water on the
plantations at an elevtion between 1000
and $50 feet
The second section of the Kohala
Ditch runs easterly from Honokane to
