, the running Of that pump?" he asked,
and when assured that that was what
the superintendent of Public Works
proposed, calling the pumping extra
work, he said: FWeH, that remains
to be seen IF the government is GO
ing to do that it might as well get in
and build the dam for the contractor
At that rate it is going to cost the
| government more to put in the earth
| fill than if it left the contractor alone
TO put in the earth with his aerial
tram at a cost of sixty cents yard. -
And it is just the very point that
Holloway and Rowland are striving to
impress upon the Governor, that all
the objection to the pump has arisen
from the fact that the contractor wants
to do hand work instead of sluicing. This
was told the Governor repeatedly at
the inspection of the dam on Wednes-
day and appears TO be the main argu-
ment the department can produce in
favor of the expense bill it is incur
ring over the pump.
WHAT AILS THE PUMP.
A well-known pump man yesterday,
after having visited the reservoir and
inspected the pump in question, is of
do its work if it had been installed
properly.
"There is altogether too much fric-
tion in the pipe line,'' he said, ''be-
cause Rowland has put the pipe in
upside down. You would think that
any fifteen-year-o school girl would
know better. The pipe ought to have
been put together the same as a stove
pipe is put together. Everyone but
Howland knows how that ought to be
done''
But in setting up the pump still
greater blunder was made. something
over which everybody at the dam ex-
eept Howland was laughing yesterday.
1t appears that when the. pump was
started up yesterday morning the up
side down pipe burst, necessitating an
other shutdown. Taking advantage
of the lull the engineer at the pump
decided to take up his suction pipe
and overhaul it. Taking it apart he
found that when the pump was put up
the necessity of knocking out the wood
en- blocks put into the valve to keep it
from humping in transit from the fac
tory had never occurred to anyone and
the pump had been doing its best to
work for the past ten days with its
vital parts all clogged up. In the
the thirteen-inch pulley had
arrived on the grounds, but Rowland
decided that perhaps after all it would
not be needed to prove his pump the
promised peach, now that the worm
had been located. The pump was start
ed up with the old pulley and the dis
charge Of water was doubled at once. |
In gIee Howland ordered the con
tractor TO put more men in the sluicing |
ground and two more shovellers were |
sent up, making seven in all. The ex-
ira flow of water made work for them
all right and the seven only jammed
the fume once.
A ALONGSTANDING ONE.
The wherefore of this pump, the
cause of the present disagreement,

REV. W.F. GRAF TS
: IN HONOLULU
The Man Who Took Governor
Carter as Authority
on Opium.

Rev Wilbur T. Crafts, who was in
Honolulu. last March, and created con-
siderable feeling by his public state
ments regarding the increase of the
use of opium among the native Ha-
waiians in a speech before the senate,
though he based his statements on in
formation given him by the then Cox
ernor Carter, passed through Honolulu
again yesterday, a passenger on the
Aorangi
In his speech before the senate he
said that the use of opium was grow
ing rapidly among the native Hawai-
ians and was proving a most baneful
and mortal habit among them. The
growth of the use of opium was en-
phatically denied by nearly all OF the
native senators, each speaking for his
own district and from his own expert
ence and observation.
Rev. Wilbur T. Crafts said last even
ing that he was very glad to know 1t,
if it were not the fact that the use
of opium was growing among the Ha-
waiians, though he did not think he
could be criticized for accepting the
statements of the Governor of the Ter
ritory as authoritative
Since he was here in March, DR..
Crafts has been in Japan, China, the
Philippines and Australia. Everywhere
he has sought to arouse interest in
the subject and in most countries he
has organized societies TO combat the
evil. In Australia, the Primate of
Australia and the Prime Minister Of
Victoria are at the head of the or
ganiZation

MANY LAND MATTERS.

Governor Frear spent most of yes
terday morning in consultation with
Land Commissioner Pratt. Pratt pre-
sented a large number of matters
which have been accommodating in the
department for long time, but which
for one reason or another it has not
been possible to dispose of. The mat
ters include claims for water rights on
every one of the islands, homestead
InRtters. leases and sales of public
tds. exchanges. rights of way, and
every class of matter with which the
department has to deal. None of the
matters, it is said, were such as an
volve any questions of land policy
with regard to settlers or homesteads.

Pump Installation BungIed-'
Auditor May Refuse Pay
ment for Operation.

After the Rowland pump is geared
up to drive the necessary water, pro-
vided it doesn't wreck itself in the
operation, there is no guarantee that
1t will be kept running. If it is, there
& likely to be another sharp clash be-
tween the Auditor and the Department
of Public Works and another chance to
delay the work and pile up legal ex-
penses in a suit. In short, the claim
of the department is that the pump
has been installed to supply water
whereby the contractor may do extra
tion work, the cost of operating the
pump to oe paid for by the contractor
as extra work on which the govern
ment will pay him fifteen per cent.
The claim of the Auditor in this is
that there is nothing in the contract
or in the amended contract to justify
the expense of operating this pump at
all; that there is nothing in the con-
tracts to neeessitate the contractor
operating the pump, and that if he
does so it win have to be at his own
expense, not at the expense of the
government. From this it will seem
that the farther the whole pump busi-
ness is looked into and scrutinized the
worse the muddle gets, commencing
from the antedated bid of the manu-
faeturer down to the present time when
.ryAe pump is being overgeared to do
I that 1t was supposed to do normally.
Yesterday the Auditor was figuring
that, at the rate of progress up till
yesterday, the contractor would be put
to an expense of nearly thirty dollars
day to run the pump to place earth
in position for which he will receive
at contract price only sixteen dollars.
This did not appear to be paying
proposition for the contractor, but it
was suggested to him that as a matter
of fact the contractor would get his
sixteen dollars for placing the earth
and that the government would pay for
running the pump and give Whitehouse
a fifteen per cent commission on the |
cost. This made Fisher sit up.

posed for the government to pay for

THEATRICAL

Among the more desirable theatri-
cal offerings OF the year is Klirt &
Gazzolo's production of big Hearted
JIM a drama by William L. Roberts
with far western locale. The lead
ing part and the play stir the Ameri-
can heart in particular, but the big,
honest Montana sheriff, Jim Saxon, ap-
peals to everybody, as he is the hero
of all in his community. There are
two ambuscade scenes in the play and
many quick, intense, thrilling situa-
tions, but all sickly, sentimental and
cheap sensational clap trap has been
eliminated. Big Hearted jim" is
strong, vigorous, genuine, with an
abundance of romance and lots of
good fun. A varied group of interest
ing characters surround the leading
figure and are played by a company
of players with a determination to
keep the entire production up to a
high standard. Big Hearted Jim"
comes to the Towle opera house, Sun
day, April 81.
