WA|ALUA DAM FULL
To THE SP|LL.WAY

For the first time since it has been
completed the new dam at the Waialua
plantation is filled and water is rum
ming over the spillway. The dam was
completed year ago last April and
the test, now being given, shows that
the work was well done and that the
structure will stand the strain which
is upon it when the full amount of
water calculated on is banked up be-
hind the dam.
The directors of the Waialua plan
tation made trip to that place last
week and looked over the property
carefully. While there they saw the
dam, and were pleased with the work
which had been done. They state that
affairs at the plantation look very en-
couraging and that they could find no
fault with the way in which the work
there has been managed.
This new dam takes the surplus
water flowing from the mighty Wa
biawa reservoir, for distribution upon
the lower lands of the plantation.

BREAKDOWN Of
THE NUUANU
PUMP
Latest Dam Fiasco May
Lead to HolIoways
Resignation.

Howland's seven thousand dollar
pump went out of commission yester-
day morning. A short time ago the
Advertiser predicted that the rate at
which this pump was being driven in
an attempt to get more work out of
it than 1t could perform would result
in a breakdown, and the breakdown
has come, somewhat sooner than had
been expected. To repair the break,
which is in the cylinder of the driv-
ing engine, will take at least two
months time and cost in the neigh
borhood of several hundred dollars.
1t is unlikely, under the circumstances.
that the repairs viii be attempted at
all, at least for the work at the Nuu-
anu dam, and the pump may be con-
sidered pau. This experiment so far
has cost the territorial taxpayers
about eight thousand dollars and there
is a broken pumping outfit to show for
the money.
1t was rumored yesterday that this
is the last straw. that the camel's
back has been broken and that Su-
perintendent Holloway is preparing his
resignation again. This time 1t will
probably be accepted, although his
term as superintendent expires nat
uralIy in the end of November. With
his chief, Howland senior would have
10 go and with him Rowland Junior.
The resignation of the superintendent
is to be presented to Governor ,Frear
soon after his return from Kauai.
Yesterday was a day of stoppages at
the new reservoir. In addition to the en-
forced stopping of the expensive pump
ing plant, all other work was stopped
at the dam. with the exception of sluie-
ing from the Waikiki side of the gulch-

THE NEW PHONE
SERVICE IS
ASSURED
Final Deal to Finance
1t Has Sanction of
Stockholders.

That Honolulu will have an auto
ssnatic telephone system, which viii COM
y pete with the Mutual Telephone Co.,
is now an assured fact, as the details
of financing the matter were settled
at meeting of the stockholders held
IN the Office of Attorney Frank Thomp-
son yesterday afternoon. Il was de-
cided to give the financing of the mat
ter into the hands of J. A Gilman,
of this city, and w. J. G. Lambert, of
Los Angeles. The matter was conclud-
ed to the entire satisfaction of those
present.
Under the proposed scheme there is
$250,000 in stock and the same amount
in bonds to be issued. Each holder
of stock at the present time will be
given two shares of stock for each
share he now holds. The subscribers
to the assessable stock viii be given
two shares for each one which is fully
paid in or, if they wish, may pay in
for all the shares which they have
taken and win be allowed two for one
for the entire amount.
1t was stated yesterday by one of
the directors of the company that
i there were outstanding at present $500
shares of stock, at a par valne of $40
tper share For this the holders will
receive $4,000 worth of stock, under
the new arrangement.
W. j. G. Lambert, who is the prin-
cipa1 in the deal with the local stock
holders, is one of the best known men
in the telephone line on the Pacific
coast. The home telephone companies,
stretching all the way from San Diego
to Seattle, have been built under his
management and are steadily increas-
ing in number and in the amount of
business which they transact.
At the present time system which
will handle 5000 telephones is being
put into working order in Oakland,
while Seattle, Los Angtles, Bellingham,
Sacramento, and all the principal cities
on the Pacific coast have companies
which are constantly increasing their
business.
One of the conditions of the agree
ment was that the plant to be Install
ed here shall be installed complete and
turned over to the company by June
of next year. The plant must have IN
working order 1000 telephones, of which
500 will be in business houses aid 800
in residences. Lamber; viii attend to
the entire financing of the company. |

EVA PLANTATION IS
IN GOOD CONDITION

On account of rumors that the Eva
plantation would declare an extra
dividend, following suit to MakaweI
and several other plantations which
have increased their dividends, inquiry
was made regarding the matter Of T.
H. Petrie, one of the directors Of Cas-
tie & Cooke. He said:
$50 far as the directors are concern
ed there has been no proposition TO
declare an extra dividend as yet. In
fact the plantation is still in debt as
far as paper as concerned. We have
the sugar to cover this, however, and
the plantation affairs have been go
ing along very well. 1t may be that
an extra dividend will be declared but,
as I say, the matter has not yet been
taken up by the directors at ALL"

work done was valued at $500, and in
August the payrolls totaled some
s5000 leaving now about $500 to work
on. This will last, according to the
payroll now in force, well on until the
first of the year, by which time the
new money ought to be available.
It has been the contention Of the
present Superintendent of Public
Works that the Whitehouse contract
would terminate as soon as the amount
now endorsed on it was expended, but
the contractor has never agreed with
this and in his contention, that he was
to have charge of the work until the
dam was completed and turned over
to the government, he is upheld by
that the amount originally endorsed
on the contract was $4,000, and the
public was given to understand that
this amount was to build the reser-
voir although the lowest bid of any
contractor was for more than double
that amount. This $4,000 was soon
expended and the $4,000 more was en-
dorsed on the contract out of an
amount voted as a blanket appropria-
tion by the Legislature of 1905 for
Honolulu Waterworks general" This
is the money of which a small bal
ance now remains. The point of the
Auditor and of the contractor is that
there exists absolutely nothing now
to prevent the carrying on of the con-
tract with the new loan money that
there did not exist at the time the
second endorsement was made. If the
Department of Public Works could
force the Auditor to endorse eighty
thousand on then, the contractor can
force an endorsement now of enough
to go ahead and finish the work.
Last week the contractor came TO

uanu dam accounts which had been 1!

handed to Rowland on the Coast
which has already been sucked dry.
1t will be remembered that the de-
partment presented a bunch of bills
charged up against the running ex-
penses of the Honolulu waterworks,
the Auditor refusing to pay them be-
cause the bills were not for running
expenses at all but for the work un-
1ertaken by the government on the
Nuuanu dam pump scheme and for
he construction of the Makik reser-
yoir. The matter was finally passed
lp to the Attorney General and he
has decided that the Auditor is right.
This left lot of laborers in line to
wait for their money until the next
legislature met, as there is absolutely

'elease enough OF his contract money

1t will be of little use to obtain home

the motherland. leaving the old and

should rightfully belong to the people.
It is even possible a second English

In this country the Irish World,

increase its own constituency. but it

A Kings Daughter.

(From the Life of Madame Louise de

tine.)
One of the daughters of Louis XIV,
Madame Louise, to the surprise of the
court, decided to adopt the religious life
and accordingly entered the Carmelite
order in the convent of st. Denis, Paris.
The superior of this convent was the
daughter of one of the Irish eXiles who
had followed James II to France, Mat
thew Craig. The superior's name in re-
ligion was Mother Anne de st. Alexis.
She was serving her second term as
superior at the time of the admission
OF the princess. 1t is a curious and in
teresting fact that the members of the
community in this convent we're like
wise IRISH or of Irish origin. This fact
was brought out on the occasion of the
kings first visit to the convent after
his daugher had made her formal
vows. He was conducted through the
house and shown the different ora
tories and cells-the plainness and
simplicity everywhere exciting his
wonder. The members of the commu-
nifty having been assembled before him,
the king inquired as to the families of
these nuns who were now his daugh
