HAWAIIAN RELICS
FOR SEATTLE FAIR

Lloyd Childs has made start to-
ward bringing together the articles to
be shown in the Hawaiian exhibit at
the Seattle fair, having now on view
in the Promotion Committee rooms the
private collection of Hawaiian relics
of James S. McCandless, loaned for the
purpose of exhibition. This collection
is one of the finest in the city and IN
cludes many beautiful calabashes, tapa
beaters, poi Founders, spittoons, stone
mortars, wooden tobacco pipes, orna-
ments and weapons. One of the fine
pieces in the collection is a koa surf
board, beautifully polished and OF
great age. The board is a long one
and very heavy, although not over half
an inch thick in the thickest part.

HOW PEARL HARBOR DRY
DOCK MAY BE USED AS TWO

WASHINGTON, December 19.-In-
teresting data made public at the Bu-
reau of Yards and Docks of the Navy
regarding the proposed drydock at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, naval station, is
that its overall length will be 1895
feet, the largest ever constructed by
the American Government. An inno-
walton so far as American docks are
concerned, is the construction of four
caisson seats for dividing the main
structure into an inner and outer dock.
There will be steel caisson gates
and arrangements will be such that
with ship in the inner dock, the
outer may be filed and emptied indie
pendently, thus allowing the ship upon
which the most extensive repairs are
TO be made to remain IN the inner
dock, while ships needing minor re-

MRS. A.F. KNUDSENA
DELEGATE FROM HERE

The Women's s National Rivers and
Harbors Congress, which was lately held
at Washington with the parent body,
had a delegate from here. The Wash
ington Herald says:
- Mrs. Augustus f. Knudsen, of Ka-
kaha, Territory of Hawaii, who was
designated by Governor Walter f. Frear
as delegate to the Women IS Rivers and
Harbors Congress, has travelled 5000
miles in order to show the interest of
the people of the Islands in this great
movement.
''Mrs. Knudsen s home is in Kauai,
the most westerly of the inhabited
islands. Her husband has large ranch
and IS prominent in Territorial affairs.
She is by birth a Californian, and her
husbands family came from Norway
and Scotland, through New Zealand, to
the United States. All these people are
patriotic, having high civic
ideals.'

pairs are being docked in rapid sue
cession in the outer dock.
BY floating the inner caisson from
the drydock ships of greater length
than any now in existence or planned
could be docked. By a trapezoida1
form of hold, arrangements will be
such that three torpedo boat destroyers
may be locked side by side, ex-
tending TO the very head end of the
dock, leaving room for three other
small craft in the inner dock. Tide
conditions at Pearl Harbor are such
battleship may enter the dock at any
stage. A marked improvement over
all previous docks has been devel
oped in that the working floor viii be
absolutely level from end to end, and
in addition there will be many other
ideas developed designed to obtain the
very best results in dock construction.

Reclamation work in these Islands
seems definitely determined on. The
Reclamation Service is thoroughly COM
mitted to the work. superintendent of
Public Works Marston Campbell has
been selected as the official representa-
tive of the work, and the Chief Hy-
drographer of the United States Geo.
logical Survey has asked for the com
pilation of all data available in the
Islands and also that such work as the
gauging of streams and other necessary
preliminary work be undertaken.
The Chief photographer of the
United States Geological Survey is NJ.
o. Leighton. In letter to Superin-
tendent Campbell, received yesterday,
he says:
"Mr. F. H. Newell, Director of the
United States Reclamation Service, has
been outlining to me the general situa-
tion with reference to water investiga-
tions in the Hawaiian Islands, and in
forms me that in ease our present eff
forts to secure an appropriation from
Congress are successful and in the fur
ther case that the Territorial Legisla-
ture shall provide cooperative appro-
priation, you viii be the official repre-
sentative of the Islands in the matter
I therefore wish to consult with you
concerning provisional plans.
"Mr. Newell has probably Informed
you that the work would have been I'M
dertaken by the Federal Survey more
than year ago had it not been for an
adverse decision on the part of the
Comptroller of the Treasury. Until this
decision shall have been reversed or
further legislation been secured, it will
probably not be possible for the Survey
to make any direct expenditure: but,
