HONOLULU FORTS WOULD
: REQUIRE OVER 1000 men

If the plans of the Secretary of
War are carried out for the placing
of coast defense guns and mortar bat
teries it will mean the stationing here
permanently of $50 men for manning
the guns alone, while the troops re-
quired for the promised Notifications,
other than the big gun corps, will
bring the number stationed on this
island to well over thousand men.
The plan of Secretary Taft, as cabled
from Washington last week, is to mount
here six 12-inch guns, four 6-inch guns
and sixteen twelve-inch mortars.
The manning details for these are
and Navy Journal. Twelve-inch mortar
batteries, says this authority, consist
of eight mortars grouped in pits of
four mortars each, and require man.
ming detail Oh III men. The sixteen
proposed for Hawaii would make up
two such batteries, requiring 342 men.
Batteries of twelveinch guns usually
consist of two guns, occasionally one
and three; manning detail for a
battery consisting of one Pinch gun
is sixty enlisted men; of two, ninety
four; Of three 40 men, The six to be
mounted here, would, according to
these figures, require not less than 260
enlisted men to operate.
Eight and 6-inch gun batteries usual
ly consist Of two guns, occasionally
of one, three and four guns. A man
ming detail for one gun of 6-fnch
ealibre is forty-three men; of two guns,
sixty-three men; of three guns, eighty
four, and a full four gun battery, los

HOW OTHER FELLOWS
ADVERTISE A TOWN

'.Des Moines Does Things is the
motto of the Des Moines Commercial
club, of which the president, Mr.. Ken
yon, is now visiting in the city. This
motto has been stamped on thousands
of buttons, which are worn by all loyal
citizens of the Iowa city, including all
the school children. Mr.. KENYON is
much interested in the publicity
schemes of the Promotion Committee.
which, he says, is working along the
right track for success.
s'We have spent good deal of
money in advertising our city, said
MIR. Kenyon, land we have found that
the follow up system, now being used
by the committee here, is the one to
bring results. We raised recently a
fund of $500, 900 for advertising. which
we are using at the rate of 800, 900
a year. We are working along this
big scale because we find that it is
paying US.
Hawaii has chance to go much
among our people in the way of work

elective office to be placed in nomina-
ton through the primary.
Primary elections to be held at regu-
lar polling places in each precinct on
the second Saturday of September pre-
ceding the general elections in Nov
ember, thirty days notice TO be given
the county clerks of the offices for
which candidates are to be nominated,
and the same notice of the places
where the voting will be held in each
precinct.
All candidates for nomination to be
nominated at the primary by nominal
ton papers, to be signed as follows:
For Delegate to Congress, by twenty
five electors; for either branch of the
Legislature, by fifteen electors, and for
county offices, by ten electors, the one
so nominated to accept in writing.
Electors to sign only the nomination
papers Of men of their own political
party.
Non-partisan candidates to be NOM

The names of those so nominated to
be printed on the official ballot of Their
own party, all the ballots to be of the

to the judge of election and ultimately
destroyed.
The law applying to a general cleo

the primary election.
No candidate to appear on more than
one ticket, and in case of nomination
by two parties must choose the ticket
on which he wishes his name to ap-
pear.
Only qualified electors to be allowed
to vote at the primary.
SECRECY OF THE BALLOT
One of the changes proposed by
Chairman Robertson in the bill of
which the above is a brief outline is to
have each elector declare his party
allegiance and be given only that ball
lot. This would give the County Clerk
a list of the members of each party,
a desirable thing in the opinion of Mr..
Robertson.
The suggestion brought Judge Archie
Mahaula to his feet. Such a thing. he
declared, would destroy the secrecy of
the ballot. What was to become of the
man who wanted to vote a split tick
ct? A voter would surrender his in
dependence under such a law. which.
had it been in effect, would have elect
ed Brown as Sheriff, and then where
would Iaukea have come in?
The judge was greatly excited and It
took the combined eloquence of Far
rington, Ballentyne and w. o Smith
TO head him off. The matter was f.
nally laid over for week, during which
time 1t is expected that the public
would be heard from in the matter.
PLANK A MISTAKE
In the opinion of Mr.. Ballentyne the
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-02-05

platform committee at Wailuku erred
in placing thee plank regarding the
transferring of the waterworks system
to the county. AT the present time the
Oahu system was conducted at loss
of $4,000 a month and an additional
$4,000 month would be needed to carry
on the necessary construction and up
keep of the system. In view OF the
loss of revenue to the county in the
matter of income tax he thought that
the county was not prepared to accept
the burden. especially as the people
now received all the benefits they could
receive, even if they did own the sys-
tenn. In placing the plank in the party
platform and pledging the party candi-
dates to carry it out, he thought that
the convention did not know the exact
state of, affairs.
Mr.. Harrington said that the plank
had been put in to make test of the
power of the Territory to turn over to
the counties property the title Of which
was now vested in the Federal govern
ment. He thought the sooner the test
was made the better.
HUGHES IN HONOR BOUND.
Representative John Hughes said
that the fact that the waterworks
were now run at a loss was the
strongest argument why they should
be turned over to the county. He
thought that better management would
show better results. He had studied
the question and thought that the
transfer would be for the benefit of all
concerned.
II was elected on that platform and
pledged my word OF honor to carry out
every plank in it to the best of my
ability. I feel myself in honor bound
to do it,
This precipitated another discussion,
the words of Hughes, as quoted az the
beginning of this article, introducing
the high-lift pump and discussion OF
the virtues of a reservoir system.
Eventually the matter was laid over to
be threshed out to conclusion at some
future meeting.

John Clinton, who left here March 13 to have look at the Tenderfoot coun- try, returned Saturday afternoon, hav ing gone no further than Salchakat. High winds were the rule, and having learned all he cared to know about the country as far as development has dis closed its character, he concluded to turn homeward.
 Mir. Clinton says the country is still unproven, as a camp. Heavy boilers were still going in, and the great amount of prospecting that is sure to be done may or may not develop extensive pay.
 Association claims are numerous and it is not now nor does not seem likely to become poor mans country.
 Mir. Clinton says freighters are haul ing from Fairbanks to Richardson for cents pound. That strikes him as very low rate. In fact in the season of open water steamboats charge $l00 per ton for the same service. With good summer roads, therefore, it appears that steamhoats would either have to reduce the rate or go out oi business.
