a
HANAkUA
DITCH
Col. MacfarIane and j.
T. McCrosson to Go
to London.

The Hamakua Ditch Company is
making preparations for the building
of what is known as the lower ditch,
and the Pacific Mail steamer China,
sailing from this city on Saturday, will
take J. T. McCrosson and Colonel
George W. Macfarlane, bound for Lon
don, where they win complete the H.
nancing OF the proposition. The bond
issue for the lower ditch will amount to
$s0O,O0O, part of which has been sub,
scribed in this city and the remainder
of which Macfarlane and McCrosson
are going to England to arrange for.
The building of the lower ditch has
been delayed for some time, owing to
the San Francisco disaster, which
broke up the plans that had been made
for the financing of the proposition in
that city, and caused postponement
of the work The matter has now been
taken up again, and from the indica-
tions the financing will be completed
-
construction should begin about the
first of the year.
The upper ditch has been completed
and water is now being sold to- the
Pacific Sugar Mill and the Honokaa
plantations The bonds in this case
are distinct from those which are to
be issued for the lower ditch and
amounted to 100000, being taken up
by Lewis & Co. of this city. From ten
to fifteen million gallons of water per
dav are being used from the upper
ditch at present, and the work has
been a great success, which makes it
seem assured that the same will be
the case in the new work which is now
being undertaken.
The officers of the Hamakua Ditch
Company are T. NJ. Lewis, president;
j. T. McCrosson, vice president; H. r.
Lewis, treasurer; c. f. Clemons, Sec
retary, and Frank E. Thompson, di-
rector. The water for the upper ditcn
comes from reservoirs. which will have
a capacity of 35e,000.000 gallons, To-
Gated in the Kohala mountains.
In the case OF the lower ditch fheFe
are no reservoirs needed The wafer
comes from the Waipio Valley, and II

tI am here to protect the rights of
all these men," declared Chairman
Hustace at the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors last night, jumping to
his feet and gIaring at County Attor-
ney Catheart, his cigar stub describ-
ing circles as he shouted.
Whom do you have to protect :" de-
manded the County Attorney.
'sEach and every one of these men,"
shouted back Hustace, sweeping the
awed circle of Supervisors with his
pointed finger.
,.sGood God, they must be pretty low
when they have to look to you for
their protection" was the comeback
of Cathcart, whose face was poked up
within a few inches OF the excited
chairn1an's, while in each face showed
the kind of anger that men have who
don't fight with their fists.
This was one of the many exciting
scenes at the regular meeting Of the
city fathers last night. Hustace chok-
ed off every member of the body but
himself, while every effort of the
County Attorney was directed into
trying to goad the other members into
defying the chairman and coming out
as a champion of Brown. The matter
closed with Hustace triumphant and
Cathcart and Brown in the discard.

the payment of Browns salary for the
fifteen days he has served as prosecut-

had to amend his payroll SO as TO ex-
clude Brown, who gets nothing for the
work he has done and is promised the
same salary for the time he continues
to work for the Supervisors who don't
want him.
The Brown salary question came up
early hi the meeting and lasted, with
a few lucid intervals, until after nine
