DROUGHT COSTS MONEY.

An emergency appropriation of 49,
455 for salaries and $3.50 for fuel will
be asked for from the Legislature by
the Water Works Department, on ac-,
count of the severe droughts that have
been experienced during the past eight
cen months, necessitating the operation
of the pumps vastly more than was
figured on by the Legislature. The
Beretania avenue pump has been kept
in operation day and night for months,
when it was only expected to keep it
in operation for sixteen hours day.
The Kalihi and Kaimuki pumps have
been necessarily kept in operation more
than expected, from the same cause.
Two oil-burning plants have been in
stalled and have paid for themselves
in the saving of cost.

NO MORE OF WAIKIKI
BEACH LAND FOR ARMY

No recommendation for condemna.
ton proceedings for the remainder of
the Waikiki beach frontage between
the McCandless and Moana Hotel prop
critics has been forwarded to Washing
ton by the local military authorities,
according to Major Winslow, Engineer
Corps, U. S. A.
"No such move has been made"
said Major Winslow yesterday, "and
l do not believe any will be. I had
a list made of the properties along the
beach, showing the assessed values, so
that If ] was called upon at any time
to supply information concerning the
properties / could do so. That may
have given rise to the idea that con.
demnation proceedings were contem-
plated.
"The plans for one of the beach
gun-stations place a portion of it on
j. A. McCandless' property about
where his stable or garage is located
and that is the reason the MeCandless
property was included"

PINEAPPLE FACTS
FOR MANY MILLIONS

Five million families throughout the
United States are to be told about Ha-
waiian pineapples before the holidays
are over. The advertising campaign
of the Hawaiian Pineapple Growers
Association starts in the January num-
bers of thirteen of the most widely
circulated magazines in the unitei
States, having a combined circulation
of millions and numbar of readers
estimated at twenty-five millions. These
are the Ladies' Home Journal, Wo-
mans Home Companion, Ladies
World, Munsey's, McClure's, Good
Housekeeping, Pacific Monthly, Every
boyd's, Harper's Bazaar, Army and
Navy Register, Sunset Magazine, Over
land Monthly, and Delineator.
Proofs of the advertisements, in diff
ferent sizes according to the magazine
they are designed for, but similar in
reading matter and halftone, have been
received by the Advertiser. The ad is
an attractive one, headed by a grow
ing pine and the statement to the
reader: "No, you never tasted pine.
apple"
The reading matter of the advertise
ment is:
eff you have ever cut the fresh ripe
fruit from a Hawaiian pineapple plant
and sliced and eaten it on the spot we
owe you an apology for the assertion;
but if you have not done just this, we
believe our statement is true.
"Most people say the favor of pine
apple is delicious, but the fruit is SC
tough and So stringy; it bites the
tongue, and actually makes the mouth
sore Yes; all this proves that they
have never tasted pineapple.
Hawaiian pineapple is SO different
"The best variety of pineapple
picked when perfect (and no fruit ii
perfect until it is, fully ripened), sliced
cored and canned on the plantation al
most the next minute.
"Just open can of it and see; yes
and catch the fragrance and taste
slice; only one sliee-and you will sa,
too, Il never tasted pineapple before,
"Hawaiian pineapple contains moth
ing but fresh fruit and pure granu
lated sugar. 1t is put up only in SAM
tary cans, preventing contamination
by solder or acid. No human han
touches the fruit in peeling or pack

FLEETS LONG TRIP
COSTS s27,50O,O00

WASHINGTON, December 13.-On
the top of the list of things that cost
money stands the modern battleship.
The estimate of $4,454,5OO, submitted
to Congress by the Navy Department,
to cover repairs to be made to several
ships during the fiscal year that will
begin on July ! next, is not even a
bagatelle in comparison with the cost
of the world-girdling cruise that viii
end on Washington s birthday.
During the cruise not less than $27,-
100000 will have vanished with the
smoke from the tunnels of Admiral
Sperry's sixteen bulldogs and the aux
iliaries accompanying them. Careful
estimates show that it costs about
$l7,i07,000 to maintain the battleships
of that feet and that the maintenance
charge on account of the auxiliaries is
not less than $5,OOo,O0O. The ships
will be gone for substantially one and
fourth years. In round numbers,
therefore, the cost will be substantial.
ly $27, 100000.
The estimate as to the cost of the
cruise does not include charges that
could reasonably be put TO the main.
tenance account. To make the cost
appear just as it should, each ships
proportion of the whole expense
should be shown, which would probably
run the cost up to 100000, because
, the fleet constitutes nearly two-third.
of the entire navy.

|WALAN| SAILORS
SMASHED BY WAVE

On her last trip out from Honolulu
the Iwalani ran into very rough wealth
err and her decks were awash most of
the time. Two sailors who were clear
ing away some tangled ropes on the
forecastle were caught by huge wave
that broke over the weather bow, and
carried into the lee scuppers, where
they were banged about the deck by
the torrent of water. One of them
had his leg jammed in the port and
suffered a broken bone while the other
had his head badly cut. They were
attended to as well as possible on board
and afterwards sent to- the hospital at
Hilo where the condition of both was
pronounced as not dangerous.

SAILOR FOUND
DEAD IN STREET

Albert Anderson, a sailor, was found
dead on the sidewalk on Liliha street,
near Kukui street, about 6 o'clock last
evening, and at first there was a sus-
picion that the man had committed
suicide, but later investigation caused
the police TO withhold this belief until
chemical analysis of the stomach IS
contents can be made.
Officer Robert Parker, Jr., came
across the body and, calling several
colored men from nearby house to
look after it, he went to the nearest
patrol box and sent for the patrol
wagon. The body was taken to the
Queens Hospital first, as precaution,
and, the man being pronounced dead,
It was then taken to the morgue
When found there was a strong smell
of carbolic acid emanating from the
body. At the morgue a bottle con-
tanning a solution of carbolic acid was
found in hip pocket. The cork had
come out and the contents had spilled
on the mans legs and burned them
badly. The stomach revealed no traces
of acid, and there were no burns on
the lips, the mouth or throat. The
| stomach held but small amount of
fluid, and the lining showed the raw
ages committed by strong drink. The
examination showed that the man had
not eaten much, if anything, lately.
Chemist Duncan will finish his exam
ination today, the result of which may
show whether Anderson came to his
death as suicide or by natural
causes.
According to Alexander Craig, col
ored, both he and Anderson were work
ing on the schooner Helene all day up
to s o'clock, and then went together
to Craig's house on Liliha street. An
derson left there shortly before
o clock. He was found on the side
Whether he slipped on the pavement
and fractured his skull will be deter
mined when the autopsy is concluded.
| Among the personal effects found in
the deceased's pockets were papers
showing that he was member of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific, Com,
panion of the Order of Owls, and that
he was probably member of the crew
of the schooner Ethel Zane, which ar.
rived here from Eureka on February
81. There was also an order on the
master Of the Ethel Zane for So, pay
able to H. Wengard, proprietor of thu
Scandal Hotel, Eureka, dated Octobe
%, 1908.
The Sailors Union card is one O.

uments and bears the number 1881. o.
the reverse side appears the follow
ing:
"This card, signed by the secretar,
and stamped with the seal of the Sail
ors Union of the Pacific, is evidenc,
that the bearer performed his full dut,
in the strike inaugurated June II
1908, and the lockout declared pre-
viously by the United States Shipping
and transportation Association"
The deceased is a well built man
about 80 years of age.
