To IMPROVE SLIGHTLY
HILO'S WATER SUPPLY

HILO. September 2.-Hilo has the
prospect of securing an improved
water supply within year, If the pres
ent Superintendent of Public Works
remain in Office and his energy con-
tinue.
Six weeks after the pittance of a
$1,000 appropriation became available,
to last for two years, instead of the
$4,000 absolutely needed, Superintend-
ent Holloway wrote to Mr.. Vannatta,
who had previously communicated with
him ON the subject, suggesting that he
write fully ''in regard to repairs and
additions to the Hilo system which are
the most urgent" Mr.. Holloway add
ing:
Il think it will probably be neces-
sary to order new pipe, and if you will
advise me as to the lengths and sizes
required, I can arrange to call for ten
ders here, covering delivery in Hilo."
To this, Superintendent Vannatta
promptly replied, giving details of the
most urgent needs that will enable
more than a three-inch pipe to supply
shipping, for instance, and then leave
a little water running in the small
pipes for other places; also pipes that
win enable better protection from fire.
With such an abundance of good water
here, the practical supply is limited.

HILO, September 2.-Storm waite
must go. This is the ediet given t.
the Board of Supervisors of the Coun
ty of Hawaii by the health authorities
of the United States and of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii.
Last week, Hilo was visited by DIR
Donald H. Currey, specialist of the
United States Marine Hospital service
and Mr.. c. Charlock, secretary of the
Territorial Board of Health. In con
junction with Mr.. d. S. Bowman, local
Territorial health officer, and the rep
resentative of the Advertiser, they
made a tour of inspection of japanese
town.
Turning from Front up Furneaux
street was found the settling place of
all the storm water that rushes down
from Church and Volcano streets on
the one side, and the overflow from
Front street on the other. Two build
demned by inspector Bowman as unfit
for human habitation. They were OPP
posite stagnant water, covered with
green slime, that had settled there be-
cause the grading of the streets, high
on both sides, left the hollow space
within for the water to find its rest
ing place.
"Storm drains, said DR.. Currey.
Storm drains,' said Secretary Char
lock. "Storm drains," said Inspector
Bowman. And "storm drains,' says
Chairman Todd of the Board OF Super
visors, and they will go into place very
promptly.
In narrow spaces, between houses,
were damp green spots, cold to the
feet. breeders of malaria, diphtheria
and fever, if not worse. Open wooden
storm drains, so called, were choked
here and there with household refuse.
Soapsuds from washtubs mingled with
the muck of all kinds where the over
worked plumbers had not been able to
install the sanitary requirements of the
new law, ordered weeks ago by the
local health officer.
Where the changes have been made,
what difference there is-the best of
plumbing, all connected with the sew
ers. Laundries equipped with cement
ed tubs and floors sloping toward the
waste pipes so that it is impossible
for water to settle anywhere. Houses
raised to allow free current of air
beneath them. All rubbish and stuff
previously stored under the dwellings
removed and swept into the open.
Places garnished and yards kept clean.
Yet it looks as if the plumbers of
Hilo, working as hard as they are now,
would be kept busy for months.
But the storm drains must be built,
and built quickly, for the stagnant
storm water is a threatening source
of danger to health, breeder of sick
ness and a menace to the living. And
the storm drains will be built because
the Federal and Territorial health Off
Gals say to.

NAVAL MINISTRIES
SATURDAY NIGHT

1t has been a long time since the
people of Honolulu have had an OPP
portunity TO witness a performance as
good as it is reported that to be given
by the Ministries of the cruiser Penn
sylvania at the Hawaiian Opera House
will be. The men who will take part
have been selected for their good quail
tiles in the line of singing, dancing
and comedy. They have appeared to-
gether so often that their team work
may be said to equal that of many of
the professionals who have visited
here. The Manila Cablenews published
an account of a performance given by
the boys in that city early in the year,
and the critics were certainly fiatter-
ing in their comments. The seats are
selling rapidly and those who wish to
see the show will have to book at Wall,
Nichols Co. early or be crowded out.

A most beautiful and impressive Ger
emory was held in the Foreign church
at Hilo, Sunday, September 1, wher
a handsome memorial window was un-
yelled in honor of the late DR.. C. H
Wetmore.
Dr. Wetmore, it will be remember
ed, was a missionary physician. the
memory of whose beautiful influence
and good deeds still lives in the hearts
of many of HiIos older residents.
Arriving in the islands in 1S49, he
settled at Hilo, and soon, by his ex-
IRENE love for children. drew class
of young people around him, and de-
lighted to lead and encourage them
along educational lines.
DR.. Wetmore was one of the prin-
cipal founders of the Foreign church
at Hilo and throughout. his life was
its mainstay. 1t is fitting that me-
mortal to him should be placed where
he lived and wrought.
This stained glass window is the gift
of the Lidgate family and the curtain
drawn by Mr.. A. Lidgate revealed a
picture beautiful and appropriate. 1t
represents the good Samaritan as he
bends solicitously oveg the almost life
less body of the man VS. was the VIC
tim of thieves. The expression on the
good Samaritan's face is beautiful
one, and the picture is typical of the
life of the friend in whose memory it
was given.
The memorial ceremonies were open
ed by a short talk by Rev. G. E,
Shields, pastor of the church.
The presentation address was then
made by Rev. J. NJ. Lidgate of Kauai.
who told with feeling of his intimate
association with DR., Wetmore and of
the pleasure and benefit he had de-
rived from such an association.
Hon. F. S. Lyman then responded for
the church and Rev. G. w. Hill spoke
in the name of DR.. Wetmore's family.
two of his daughters-Dr.' Frances
Wetmore and Mrs. Lucy Wetmore
Lewis-being present the the time.
Tt is not an uncommon thing for
memorial windows to be given by ones
relatives, but it is a rare thing for a
man to so entwine himself around the
hearts of his friends as to create in
them a desire to make lasting testi-
mony of their esteem for him.
It speaks we'll for the life and work
of DR.. C. H. Wetmore that he should
deserve such a memorial. 1t also
speaks well for the Lidgate family that
they should so show their appreciation
and love.

HAWAIIAN FOLK TALES.

We desire to call Members attention
to the above book, published by A. Z.
McClurg & Co., Chicago. This is a
compilation by Mr.. Thos. G. Thrum,
of Honolulu, from various sources, and
in doing so, Mr.. Thrum has conferred
favor on all Polynesian scholars.
Many of these tales and traditions
have the true Polynesian ring about
them In others, the translator hand
is visible in the elaboration of the
original crude matter-not that this
detracts from their value, for it illus
trates the possibilities of Polynesian
stories when worked out in an agree
able manner, whilst not deviating too
much from the Polynesian order of
mind. This is well illustrated in the
charming story of "Kaala and Kaai-
alii,' by w. NJ. Gibson. Just here, we
will put it to our Hawaiian fellow
workers, that we think it d great pity
they do not make stand against the
common practice of joining the definite
article on to the noun. 1t is not done
in any other language we are ac-
quainted with, and, moreover, it makes
the Identification of names in other
dialects often very difficult. The above
story illustrates this. Some
of the tales here given are common
property of the Polynesian race, and
are not peculiar to Hawaii, although,
as so often happens, they are there
localized. Take the story of "Hiku
and Kawelu' which is almost identical
with the Maori story "Te Tatau-o-te-
Po,' with the note to ''Te Tangi a
TIE Rangi-mauri The "Exploits of
Maui" are of course the property of
all Polynesians, and the Adventures
of Laka' maori Rata) are almost
identical word for word with the Ma
orr and Rarotongan account of that
hero. These legends belong to very
ancient period in the history of the
race, long before the separate branch
es took up their quarters in Hawaii,
New Zealand, Tahiti, Samoa, or other
parts.
Our word to Mr. Thrum is "wela
ka hao," and we express the hope that
he and his collaborators will follow up
this volume with others on the same
lines, for in so doing he will give
great pleasure to Polynesian scholars.

nesian Society, of New Zealand,
