NEW NUUANU
RESERVOIR IN Use
Water From Number Four Be-
ing Turned Into City
Mains.

Water from the new Nuuanu reser-
voir, that hole in the ground which
has been the most talked of piece Of
public work in the Territory and which
has suddenly dropped out of public
notice. is now being delivered into the
public mains in Honolulu. The reser-
voir is in use. Back of the temporary
dam flung across the basin on the up
per side of the permanent cement re-
tanning wall twenty feet of water fills
a portion of the reservoir site and this
is being tapped through the valve tower
and the newly installed pipe to supple
ment the waters in reservoir mum ber
three. For the first time since the big
work was started three years ago the
public is getting some benefit out of it.
81 promised to have water into town
from number four within sixty days af-
ter the work was resumed" said SUI
perintendent of Public Works Camp
bell yesterday, land we have the water
now, within thirty days"
BY the end of the week the Nuuanu
water will be being delivered directly
from the new reservoir into reservoir
number one, at the power house, in
stead of being turned into the old chan
mel further mauka at number three.
The water chambers and the air cham
bers for the lower end of the bar-lock
pipe have been delivered at the power
house and are now being put into
place. These are massive castings,
when erected and put together stand
ing up in the air for twenty feet. They
are going in back of the power house,
far enough not to interfere with the
plans for eniarging the plant by the
building of an addition to the house
and the installation of the big Pelton
wheel ordered some time ago by the
county, the use of which will largely
increase the amount of electricity de-
veloped for street lighting.
AS soon as the water and air cham
bers are installed the big thirty-inch
Daf-lOcK pipe Will De tested out as the
completing requirement of the Lord
contract.
At the reservoir itself the work is
going ahead steadily and without any
of the friction which distinguished and
advertised it so much under the old
contract The real work on the new
contract is well under way, all the pre-
lininary work, clearing, track laying.
pump installation and quarry stripping
being done.

F|SHMARKET I IS
NOT To BE
GIVEN
Might as Well Ask for
the Capitol Says
Campbell.

81 haven't got any more authority
pr power to turn over the Alakea street
fshmarket building to any organiza-
ton to do with as the members please
any more than have the right to give
the Capitol away to whoever wants it, !"
remarked superintendent of Public
Works Campbell yesterday, regarding
the repeated efforts or the Kilohana
Art League Committee on Civic I'M
provement to have the building made
into an indoor park, preferably under
the Leagues control and according to
it's plans. To judge from the tone OF
voice in which Mr.. Campbell, the usual
ly imperturbable, referred to the fish
market, it was to be presumed that
he found the subject monotonous.
The building will be used for the song
festival during the first week of May
and in July it will be turned over to
the Fleet Committee. Between those
times it is probable that the big tug-of-
war tournament suggested for the
benefit of the National Guard will take
place in the crystal palace.

duct on Saturday They Will display
their wares in the empty store at the
corner of .Beretania and Fort, opposite
the fire station and the number of pret-
ty sales ladies who will have charge

ladies to hold regular fair, but this
has been found impossible and the Eas-
ter sale has been decided upon instead.
A full line of Easter specialties will be
displayed as we'll as much that is good

ACR|CULT TURAL
COLLEGE To
GAIN
May Get Highland Park
Through Land
Exchange.

If the exchange can be made by the
government for other lands the High
land Park tract of twenty-three acres
in Manoa valley will be added to the
lands the new College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts already has there
and turned over for the uses of the
college, giving them an area altogether
of sixty-eight acres.
1--WE have the matter in hand now
said Governor Frear, land hope to be
able to make the desired exchange.
The administration is willing and all
that remains now is to find out what
lands Mr.. Desky wants and arrange
for an equitable trade
At the present time the government
has number of land exchange deals
under way. One exchange was per-
fected yesterday, the Bishop Estate
anu LI6 lAtohAAi5 % swap
of holdings at Kalawao. The widen
ing of Alexander street also calls for
a number of transfers of realty be-
5 tween the owners. of the lots along the
narrow thoroughfare and the govern
ment
Another important series of deals
are the exchanges the government
have under way whereby a lot of the
swamp lands of IwiIei will be trans
ferred in exchange to private owners,
one conditidh of the exchanges being
that the low lands will have to be
drained and filed in, the owners being
also required to fill in the road re-
serves to grade. This will at the one
time make available for building sites
a section of value and will also abolish
a pest hole.
1t is understood that in the matter
of these transfers everything is in
shape for a transfer of deeds.

RUMoR CONFIRMED
Oscar White Used Shotgun on David Hill
With Fatal Effect.

Information from Days confirmed
the rumor current last Thursday that
Oscar White had been forced to kill
negro tenant. The name of the de-
ceased was David Hill, and not Coun-
Gil Thomas, as said in these columns
last week.
Immediately after the killing Mr..
White surrendered himself and was
tried before Esq. Logan, and acquit-
ted. Whites testimony was that he
had trouble with the negro last Mon
day and the negro advised him to go
and get his gun and "shoot it out".
No more was seen of the negro until
last Thursday, when he again ap-
peared at the White home armed
with piece of rail. 1t was then Mr..
White shot him, using a shot gun.
In addition to acquittal in the mag
istrate's court coroner's jury, COM
posed of J. T. Hudson, j. w. Bran
nan, M. s. Thomas, G. III. Gill, d. M.
Wallace and I. M. Martin, declared
the killing justifiable.

die University School.

Many patrons and friends of the
Randle University School learned with
pleasure that Prof. Burks has declin-
ed to go to Kentucky, and will retain
charge of the local institution of learn
ing.
Prof. Burks was led to this action
by Prof. j. r. Thompson, who could
not complete arrangements to take
charge of the school here. Reasons
for failure to assume charge of the
Randle University School is set forth
sn the following
Statement OF Prof. J. R. Thompson.
In response to the most insistent
solicitations of the people of his ma
tive state to return to Kentucky and
there take up school work Prof. W..
s. Burks finally yielded and decided
to give up his well organized school,
Randle University School, and ac-
cept the presidency of Lynnland Col
lege, of Kentucky. With this in view
he sold to me as his successor at Ran
~5le University, all his furniture and
furnishings. Owing to complete
breakdown of my eyes recently it
has become impossible for me to
meet my obligations, and this makes
j. impossible for Prof. Burks to leave
here or go to Kentucky. Prof. Burks
