 Judge Paul Speake who was defeat ed by Mir. Smith, has left the mattef in the hands Of the committee and will abide by the result. The contest promises to be a long drawn out legal battle and the administration people threaten to complicate the matter by contesting the result in the second ward in which Sreake and the reform aldermen received their heaviest ma jority. The reformers say that the contest will be instituted not so much with the idea of unseating Mayor Smith as to secure the convic- tion of illegal voters on both sides.

PLENTY
or WATER
THIS YEAR PASSING WITHOUT
TROUBLE AND NUUANU DAM
SHOULD MAKE FUTURE SAFE.

The unusually heavy rainfall this
summer has been a most fortunate
thing for Honolulu, according to Su-
perintendent of Public Works Hollo-
way. BY this time last year the city
was on exceedingly short rations, as it
were, and the ponds up Nuuanu valley
were practically dry, and remained
that way until October. Up to this
time this year, however, there has been
so scarcity of water, and the outlook is
exceedingly promising that the city
may get through without any serious
difficulty till the regular wet season
of the fall comes.
superintendent Holloway further
stated that unless the work is held up
by lack of money, Honolulu need not
be short of water again for many years
to come if she gets through this sum-
mer all right, because the Nuuanu dam
will have been completed, or sufficient
ly near so to hold an ample supply OF
water, by the time another summer
comes around.
Nine or ten months more, according
to Holloway, and the dam should be
in condition to be at least partially
available. While it may not be finish
ed, the main part will be done and it
can be partially filled before the sum-
mer months begin.
Work at the dam is going on salts
factorily, and the pump which has
been established is now ready to assist
in the work of sluicing earth for the
fill in the main part of the dam. II
will probably be put to work the first
of the week.

THE CONTESTANTS TOMORROW
AT AALA PARK IN AMERICAN
NATIONAL GAME.

The baseball games for tomorrow af-
ternoon at ala Park will be the Palama
A. G. VS.. the Kaala A. c. and the Chi
nese A. c. VS.. the Japanese A. c. Tne
first game will commence at 1870 p. m.
and the second to Degin at $3.50 p. M
In the first game the two teams will
fight for the second place in the league.
The Palamas have always played good
ball and good game is assured. How
ever the Kaala A. C. will see that they
don't be given an easy walk-over and
will try to hold the team down. The
boys have practiced hard for the past
week.
The second game is an international
one and there can be no doubt that it
will be fought out very hard. The
Japs have lost every game in the sec
ond series and Jack Flores, the cap
tain Of the team, is trying hard to
take the Chinese into camp in this
meet. Jack Flores has done some good
pitching for his nine, but the support
given Nlm ny HIS team 10 ISspOnslDie
for their defeat. If the Japs will only
play with a little more courage, there
is no doubt that they can play ball
AS the Chinese A. c. have been defeat
ed twice in the second series, j. Goo
Kim, the manager, will get his team
into shape tomorrow and try to win
this game. Goo Kim is an active man
ager and his team has improved a good
deal under his management.
There will be chairs placed on the
grounds as usual. AS the base ball
games played at Aala Park had always
been exciting ones, good crowd is ex-
pected.

.HOMESTEAOERS
AND PLANTATION
HILO STATEMENT THAT THE HA-
KALAU PLANTATION SECURED
FIVE LOTS AT RECENT SALE.

HILO, July 25.-The Herald says:
Mr.. j. A. NJ Osorio believes that
the Hakalau Plantation secured five
out of twenty-one lots that were sold
by Land Agent Williams last week.
Manager William Ross secured the
fourth lot, offered at $40, but he had
to pay $1505 for it, almost double the
upset. Another lot that Mr. Osorio
thinks was secured for the plantation
was number 33, less than 26 acres, Of
fered at $745, but which sold at $1610
to Alfred Henderson, an advance of
more than 100 per cent, and the big
gest mark-up of the day, 1t is also
stated that three Portuguese acted as
plantation agents, and secured three
more lots for the Hakalau Company.
However this may be, there is moth
ing in the land laws of the Territory to
prevent the plantation, or anybody
else, from securing all of the land at
the expiration of three years, when
the buyers prove up and secure their
patents provided they are willing to
sell and the price offered is sufficiently
attractive, except, perhaps, the lot
which was previously secured by Mr.
Osorio himself under the association
settlement.

HACKMEN
FORGOTTEN
SUPERVISORS TO DEAL WITH
THOSE HAVING TENDENCY TO
OvERCHARGE AT NEXT MEETING

Charles Hustace, Jr., chairman OF
the Board of Supervisors, stated today
that the new ordinance requiring all
hack drivers to carry rate cards in
their hacks, was overlooked at last
nights meeting of the Board.
Hustace had received a letter from
Secretary of the Promotion Committee
and had referred it to j. w. Cathcart,
County Attorney. Owing to stress of
County business, Cathcart had allowed
the matter to slip his mind, and Hus-
tace had forgotten it until after the
meeting was all over.
Il will surely take the matter up at
the next meeting without fall" Hus-
tace said, "as l believe it is only fair
and just to every one, that there should
be regular rate of fares, and in that
way prevent the honest hacl1men from
being placed in the same class as the
dishonest ones. No persons need pay
fare until they have seen the printed
rates. In that way they are not lay
ing themselves open to be overcharged.
A good deal of this business has been
going on for some time back. and the
Board of Supervisors will see that il
does not occur again, as it will go hard
with any one found overcharging.

ROAD TO
VOLCANO
ATKINSON GOES AHEAD WITH
PLANS IN SPITE OF THE PROMO
TION COMMITTEE.

Acting Governor Atkinson is pre-
pairing to go ahead with the plan to
use convict labor in constructing a
carriage road at the volcano, so that
visitors to the pit need not travel over
the difficult trail so land used. The
Promotion Committee turned the pro-
position down, but the acting governor
wrote the Hawaii Board of Supervisors
as follows:
"To the Honorable the Members of the
Board of Supervisors, County of
Hawaii, Hilo, Hawaii.
Dear Sirs: For some time past 1
have been considering the advisability
of constructing carriage or auto
mobile road from the Volcano House to
the edge of the pit of Halemaumau.
'I have received such substantial en-
couragement that l now ask your CO.
operation in this matter. In the first
place wish to say that the High She
riff stands ready to supply you with a
sufficient number of prisoners, say from
twenty to thirty, with luna, ami also
to keep said prisoners, provided it does
not cost any more than keeping them
here. The Volcano House Company
has promised to supply water and the
accommodations, and help in any other
way that they will be able.
Instead of taking road into Hale
maumau along the present road l would
suggest that a road be built along the
north and west edge of the crater OF
Kilauea, and down the cliff at it's low
est part, at point opposite the Vol
cano House. and on to the floor of the
crater, and then to the edge of the pit
of Halemaumau. What 1 would ASK
your board to do is to take charge OF
the whole scheme.
"The first work to be done would be
to have an engineer to survey the road
and make an estimate of its cost, TAX
ing into consideration what will be
supplied by the Territory in the mat
ter of labor, tools, etc., and by the
Volcano House in the matter of water,
accommodations, ETC., and also what
the transportation company might do
in the way of transporting supplies,
ETC.
'If your board falls in with this idea
1 would suggest that an engineer be
employed to make estimates at once.
Mr.. Wall of the Survey Department is
perfectly willing to cooperate in this
matter by having Mr.. Cook assist IN
any way when he has time.

WANTS
AN OFFER
POSTMASTER PRATTS PLAN FOR
HONOLULU HALE-THE BUILD
INGs CONDITION.

"If the Territory will make me a
proposition" said Postmaster Pratt
this morning, "for the use of the Ho-
nolulu Hale property, 1 am willing to
submit it to Washington. 1 see that
Acting Governor Atkinson suggests
that We hire the property if we want
it, as we hire the McCandless Building
space. All can say is that we want
to receive an offer, as we did In the
case of the McCandless quarters. That
is the way our department does busi-
ness of this sort, and cannot get the
matter before the department any 9TH
er way"
The Acting Governor said yesterday
that he would make a park of the
whole property, if the building were
torn down, and appeared to be consid-
ering such a move, What the post
Office wants, however, is thirty-foot
driveway as far as it's windows for the
handling of mail.
The Star has received the following
from one of the occupants of the build
ing:
Honolulu, July 26, 1907.
EDITOR STAR:
Dear Sir:-T wish to deny the state
ment made in the Evening Star of
above date by Mr.. Pratt that Honolulu
Hale is nearly empty of tenants on ac-
count of it's condition. All the base
ment and back yard is rented to Di-
mond & Co., the ground floor is occu-
pied by lawyers offices, barber shop
and Hawaiian curio store; the up
stairs portion is rented for ofice pur-
poses to Mr.. F. Godfrey. The roof has
been recently repaired and the building
connected with the sewer.
Yours for truth,
HAROLD JEFFS.
(The statement that the building was
nearly empty of tenants on account of
it's condition was not made by the post
master, but by The Star. The base
ment and back yard are not the build
ing. and the occupation of the upper
floor is a myth. The second district
court at one time held sessions there,
but the shakiness of the structure was
scare to most people concerned.
Such occupation as there is of the low
er floor is not at all at the rate which
the location of the building justifies,
owing to its condition" The repair
ed" roofs condition may be seen from
the upper story of the Post Office,
which also commands a fine view OF
the shacks and fences and general
delapidation around it.-Editor Starr
