1906 they say President Roosevelt sent a young
man from one of the departments to report on
the internal waterways in the Middle West. He
had on his list for Illinois the antiquated
Illinois and Michigan Cana! and "the little
sluceway." He first visited the Offices of the
Illinois and Michigan Canal at Lockport Look

Of brackish water of the canal he saw beyond

tween walls of rock In response to his question
the superintendent Of the small canal said:
THAT is the Drainage Canal 1t is twenty-five
feet deep and not less than 164 feet wide
throughout its entire length of thirty-two
miles"
This canal had been open to navigation by
tugs. canalboats and barges for seven years.

entire plan as suggested provides for fourteen

channel from Minneapolis down to the fourteen

has been estimated that the proposed channel
from the outlet of the Chicago Drainage and
Ship Canal can be secured at an expense of
$}1 10000.
The value Of the Mississippi system is indicat-
ed by this brief quotation from the report OF the
chief of the army engineers for last year:
"Comparative rates between Pittsburg and
Memphis by rail and river soft coal: By rail-.

An army engineer formerly in charge Of river

dieting that the cost OF coal transportation by
water to New Orleans, 1000 miles away, includ-
ing the cost of towing back the empty barges
which is now 75 cents a ton. will be reduced to
20 cents ton when nine-foot channel IS OBJ
tanned at low water. This is said to be about
one-ffteenth the lowest existing rail rate.
Inland waterways are needed not only to re-
neve the congestion of the railroads but to take
care of the increasing volume Of freight and to
regulate the freight rates. 1t has been asserted
that the Mississippi River regulates more or

Editor Advertiser: In reference toI
the article in the Advertiser Novem-
Der q. 1907, under the heading, The
Whole Story Told,'' 1 request space to
insert the other side of the story,
which is as follows:
The marine engineers of Honolulu in
their efforts to obtain an increase of
wages have considered it matter con-
corning only the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company and themselves,
and, believing their cause to be just
and honorable one, did not court pub
ncity or endeavor to enlist public SYM
pathy through the press.
But since the IL s. N. Co. have
made public all the correspondence on
the subject between the marine en-
gineers and themselves, the engineers
now feel that in justice to themselves
they should comment on their side of
the case and present some of the more
important causes that led up to their
request LOT dIl lnlLedSS D1 NdSCSs
Some twelve months ago the cap
tains of the IL. S. N. Co. made a
threatening demand for an increase of
wages and gave the company a very
sort time in which to comply, and
their demands were met, and as the
wage-schedule proposed by the engin-
eers has been published, / herewith
enclose the schedule presented and put
into effect by the captains in the Inter-
Island employ:
First class-Kinau, Claudine, Mauna
Loa.
Second class-Maui, Helene, W. G.
Hall, Mikahala.
Third class-Likelike, Iwalani, Ka-
uai, Noeau, Niihau, Ke Au Hou, Kaiu-
iaHI.
Schedule for masters will be as fol-
lows: First class, $1S5 per month;
second class, SITS per month; third
class, $165 per month.
Allowance for board increased to 81
per day, or SO Ia. cents per meal, extra
compensation at the rate of $40 to be
paid to masters of vessels which are
required to give their services on SUM-
days or legal holidays in conveying
excursionists, emigrants or upon being
dispatched on special trips conveying
cargo to or from any port, where sun
days or legal holidays are consumed
in so doing.
This success of the captains made
the engineers sit up and take notice
and wonder if they. also. could not
get raise on the increased cost of
living in Honolulu, and, knowing they
would not get any raise in pay without
asking for it, determined on the 14th
of September to present new and IN
creased scale of wages to the Ii. ,.
N. Co. and ask for conference, which
the already published correspondence
shows took place. At the conference

MORMON|SM At
LAIE AND IN UTAH
What Mr.. Sheehy of Reorganized
Church Has to Say
About 1t.

The Indictment of NJ. NJ Harmon.
acting head of the Mormon church at
Laie, for subornation of perjury,
brings into investigation and under
examination by the courts some of the
questions which were investigated by
the committee of the United States
Senate in the Reed Smoot inquiry.
Reed Smoot was elected to the United
States Senate by the Legislature of
tests against his being allowed to take
his seat. These protests came from
Utah and from individuals and organ
izations in every part of the United
States 1t is doubtful if there was
ever presented to the United States
Congress, protests from as many peo-
pie and from as many different organ
izations having moral purposes, as
were presented against the admission
of Reed smoot, unless it was in the
case, of Brigham H. Roberts, elected
from Utah to the House of Represen-
tatives.
Reed Smoot was admitted to his seat
in the Senate pending the result of the
Investigations by the committee on
privileges and elections. These inves-
LEGATIONS were carried on through
three years, and resulted in volume
of testimony regarding the practises of
IT.. I1ol
before been gathered together. In the
end, by party vote, Smoot was con-
firmed in his seat.
Elder F. NJ. Sheehy of the Reor-
ganized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, who came here a
month or so ago with President ~Jo-
seph Smith of the, ReorganiZed
Church, was in Washington and
in attendance at practically every one
of the sessions of the Reed Smoot in
vestigation His intimate knowledge
of what was attempted and what was
accomplished by the Senate committee
in it's Investigations is probably not
surpassed by that of any one.
Speaking of the Indictment against
Elder Harmon, he said IF there has
been any violation of the law here
among the Mormons it is got surpris-
ing. in view of the disclosures of law
breaking among the heads of their
church. Joseph Fielding Smith, the
president of the Utah church, before
the Senate committee investigating the
Smoot matter, admitted under oath
that he was living in violation of the
law of the land and of his own con-
ception of the law of God. Francis M.
Lyman, the head of the apostles and
next to the head of the church, said
the same thing. So also did John
Henry Smith, a second or third cousin
of Joseph Fielding Smith, and one of
the twelve apostles of that church, So
too did Brigham H. Young, one of the
presidents of the seventies and one of
the historians of the church.

of the Hawaiian Islands, that:
Whereas, The salaries at present

Whereas, The important duties re-
quired to be performed by said Judges
demand that they receive compensa-
ton commensurate with the amount
and quality of the work they are re-
quired to perform; and
"sWhereas, Within the past few
years there has been a marked in
crease in the cost of living, which has
been recognized by Congress in the
increasing of the salaries of the Fed
eral Judges on the mainland;

ton strongly recommends an increase
in the salaries of the Judges of said
Courts as follows:
Chief Justice, $500.
Associate Justices of the Supreme
Court, $4,000 each.
United States District Judge. $4,000.
Circuit Judges, $4,000 each.

resolution be transmitted to the Dele
gate of Hawaii to the United States
Congress, the President of the Senate,
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tfves, and the Attorney General of the
United States
committee, consisting of B. L.
Marx. w. 0. Smith and A. L. c. Atkin-
son was named by the chair to draft
a suitable resolution in reference to
the death of Charles Creighton, to be
read at the first sitting of the Supreme
Court.

Dear Sir: AS a member of the sis

The paper handed to Mr.. Nakoo6o7,

d medical man, but by Mr.. d. 2. Law

it was not so.
I shall make no useless comment ca
this. as the most unspeakable corrup-
