There was q suggestion that II the

nominating the candidate for Governor,
in the hope that the harmony conditions
which 1t is expected win prevail at Roohes-

Late tonight prominent Hughes man
who did not desire to be quoted had this
to say:

President Roosevelt must

public he was permitting men he con-

the President at the last moment will
quietly name some other candidate.
Should this be the outcome Of this situa-

angry publicly because some Of his friends
have ignored his mandate for Hu ghes,

playing q game, and he hopes to beat

KNOCKED SILLY
BY A STREAM
BIG STREAM AT NUUANU DAM
GIVES A WORKMAN A SEVERE
SHOCK.

To be hit in the back below the
belt by a two and five eighths inch
stream of water with a fifty pound
pressure behind it is rather hard on
the nerves, according to Contractor
Lou Whitehouse of the Nuuanu dam,
He has not tried the experiment him
self but one of his workmen did the
other day and landed about thirty feet
away wondering whether he had been
hit by a bolt of lightning or simply
by shell from one of the heavy guns
of the Armored Cruiser Squadron.
The work at the dam is progress
ing very well and the little rains
which comes practically every night
are tickling the heart of the big con-
tractor with glee; for they mean that
he can rush the work along.

the Sunday School of St. Andrew
Cathedral, beside holding positions on
the vestry and at one time having
charge of the choir. He was largely
instrumental in the formation of the
parish of st. Clements and in the cree
ton of the church there, and was at
the time of his death one of the trus-
tees. Though a staunch churchman,
Mr.. Walker was a predetermined man
and was one of the original members
of the Y. NJ c. A. here, which owed
its inception largely to his efforts. The
minutes of the first meeting of the Y.
M. c. A. are in his handwriting in the
year 1869, when he held the position of
secretary. From then until 1890 he
held different positions, including that
of president on three occasions.
Though it is seven years since he
has been out in Hawaii, Mr.. Walker
leaves behind him here large number
of close friends who mourn the loss of
one of the gentlest and most unselfish
and kind-hearted men that they have
ever known.

NO MALARIA
In HONOLULU

The article appearing in this morn
ings paper in regard to the reclama-
ton of the Waikiki marshes has anus
ed some of the local doctors by it's
general lack of correct information.
That the stencil is growing to be worse
continually is true but the other as
sertiOns made are hardly correct In
the first place, according to the doc
tors of the Marine Hospital Service and
of the Board of Health, there is no
malaria in this city. No one yet has
been able to discover the minute sec
ton of blood which shows the presence
of this fever.
In the second place the mosquitoes
do not breed in the Waikiki marshes,
not because there is not room for
them on account of the ducks, but be-
cause they do not breed in brackish
water such as fills the swamps men
toned. Another thing which is also
true is that we have not the mosquito
in this Territory who carries the mala-
rial germ. True we have the stegomia,
which carries yellow fever, in our So
called day mosquito" but the malarial
insect is absent.

LAST LETTER
OF A KING
WRITTEN FROM LONDON BY KA-
MEHAMEHA II A FEW DAYS BE-
FORE HIS DEATH.

An interesting find has been. made
by Archivist Lydecker in his searches
through the old documents under his
charge. This is the last letter ever
written by Kamehameha II, who died.
of measles in 1924 in London a few
days after the death of his queen. 1t
is signed by him with the name of To-
lani, which was his given name, and
written to his younger brother. In the
last sentence he tells of the great bene-
fit which he expects to get at the hands
of King George This refers to a pro-
mise of protection against Russia,
which was the main object of Kameha-
mehas visit to England.
The letter, as translated by John
Wise, the Republican candidate for
County Sheriff, reads as follows:
June, 1924.
To Paalua, Kaakumu and my younger
brother.
Much love to you all:
In the month of May (Kaaona) we
arrived in England. One of our num-
ber Kamuhaimalama, is dead. He died
just outside of England. He was taken
sick on Tuesday and died in the night
of (hua) the thirteenth of the moon.
The following day, (Akoa) the four
teenth of the moon, he was buried at
GOO in tLie Coma month of Nov (KaoO-
ma. On Friday we arrived in Eng
land, being OaaukukahD the eight
zenith night of the moon, and landed
the same day. We got into carriages
and in one day we reached London
Uaaukulua) the nineteenth night of the
moon and went to the hotel. On Thurs
day the Kings man arrived and told
us he was to see to all our wants and
the King was to pay all our expenses.
We are having everything we want.
The King of England has taken great
liking to us. We have not seen King
George yet We were all taken sick in
the month of June (Hinaiaeleele but
have all recovered, with the exception
of three of us Kamehamelu, Kapihe
and myself
Here is another word to you. If
the commander Of the vessel should
ask you about building a wooden house
in Oahu you must grant him his re-
quest. You are not to charge him any
harbor fees, for he is taking our letter
to you. Give him five pigs and ten
boxes of potatoes. love you all dear
ly We remain here till we see the
King and receive from him that which
will be of great benefit to us, then we
will return.
Aloha,
IOLANI.

SUGAR MAKING
NOW AN ASSURED ADDITION TO PROFITABLE INDUSTRIES OF
 IMPERIAL VALLEY.
PLANTING OF BEETS BEGUN
Manager of Valley Sugar Company Has Experimental Acres Under Gull tivation and Farmers Will Plant
 When Crop Is Required For Factory.

w. T. Hayhurst, manager of the I'm perial Valley Sugar Co.,, has com pleted planting sugar beets on an acre of land on the Ira Aten ranch. Before the end of March another crop will be put in on the Wilsie ranch, and the experimental planting will be con- tinued until twenty acres have been planted with many kinds of beet seed and at many seasons of the year.
 A big sugar beet factory is assured for the Valley, as large number of the leading farmers are prepared to plant beets as soon as the experi- ments determine what kind of seed is best adapted and what months will produce the best results. It is prob able that work will be begun on a factory some time next winter.
 Some of the settlers have had ex- perience in growing sugar beets, and they are the most confident of the success of the enterprise and the great value of the beet sugar industry to the valley. Frank Sokol, one of the older farmers of El Centro dis trict, discussing the project recently, said: We have had beet sugar fac tories in Moravia, my native country, for many years, and beet growing is the foundation of Moravia's agricul- tural prosperity. It has made land worth from $500 to $500 an acre, There is much talk here about grow ing oranges, but I am satisfied that beet growing will be surer and more solidly established industry. The sug- ar beet will be the foundation of pros perity in the valley, and we may ex- pect to see a number of factories built here when the farmers realize what this soil and climate will enable them to do in that line"

pied by the El Centro Hardware Com pany, and the company will also have fifty feet more. This will be erected at once. The remaining hundred feet will be filled in late this spring and some of the stores have already been let
 Depot by June 1.
 R. H. Ingram, general superintend- ent of the Southern Pacific, was in El Centro this week and stated that the plans for the new brick depot had been accepted, the O. K. issued from the G. M. O. and requisition made for the material. The passen- ger and freight depits will be entire ly completed and ready for use by June 1. Since the order for retrench- ment was issued by Southern Pacific headquarters, no exception has been made other than in the case of the El Centro depot. That was considered the one appropriation of such urgency that it could not be cancelled.
 Thos Wilkins of Los Angeles, who recently purchased the corner oppo- site the Valley State Bank, was in El Centro this week. He says he has had plans drawn for a two-story build ing of cement or tile blocks, the build ing to be fitted up for stores below and rooming house above. Geo. Fishbaugh, of Yuma, is also planning to put up fine building on the next two lots adjoining and is arranging with MT. Wilkins for the party wall. Neither MT. Wilkins nor MT. Fish baugh has definitely decided when work will be begun, but it will un- doubtedly be in the near future.
