that the fact that half of it was un-

a charge and incunbrance on the land

LAUPAHOEHOE FLUME
WILL COST $4,000

Acting Governor Mott Smith has de-
cided that the fume right-of-way lease
across the government lands at Lau-
pahoehoe should be auctiOned instead
of disposed of at private sale and has
issued instructions accordingly. This
lease is TO be given for term of twen-
ty years, with a condition that if it
is at any time not used for two years
the balance of the lease period will
be cancelled
This fiume is to be built for the pur-
pose of carrying cane from the plan
tation holdings and the homesteads on
the Waipimalei side of the Laupahoe-
hoe gulch to the Laupahoehoe COM
pany's mill and the building of it will
necessitate the building of two water
fumes in addition to the main cane
fiume, calling for an initial outlay of
from $4,000 to $4,000 and requiring
as much more for the upkeep. The
water for the fiuming will be principal
ly from the government springs on the
public lands, and although it is un-
derstod that this water can be used by
the f1ume company, il is expressly
stated in the lease that no right to
the water is conveyed and its use may
be prohibited just so soon as the pub
lie lands is wanted for homesteading
purposes The plantation, which will
undoubtedly bid in the lease, has some
water of its own. which will be used
to bring. the cane down from the fields
to the beginning of the proposed fiume
at Waipimalei.
The main fiume will cross the gulch
in the shape of a horseshoe and will
be twelve thousand feet long. Alcng-
side this, but on a different level. will
be the water supply flume, the water
flowing one way in the supply fume
to return carrying the cane in the
other.

of a year and half ago when a man
called at the house enquiring for the
Chief of Detectives, who was not at
home. She went to the man who was
standing in the yard and asked him
what he wanted. He did not reply but
grumbled something to himself. She
then started for the house and was
struck with a sandbag and felled to
the ground. She recovered conscious
ness about an hour afterwards and
made her way to her house. She call
ed assistance and it was found that she
had a very large swelling on the back
of her head and that her holoku was
all torn from the neck down with the
prints of dirty fingers upon it.
A searching investigation is already
underway and it is hoped that the day

The coming of the Atlantic fleet is
not disturbing the Board of Supervis-
ors any, nor is it regarded as an event
on the part of the members. At least,
such was the impression given at the
meeting of the board last night, when
every proposition made to do some
thing extra in view of the early ar
rival of some thousands of visitors was
voted down.
Captain Rees called attention to the
dusty condition of the streets along
the waterfront and asked that the
county oil them to keep down the dust
and make things pleasanier for the
sailors and for the thousands of town.
folk and visitors from the other is
lands who would be here and who
would be certain to visit the front.
Nothing doing with the Supervisors,
who announced that there was moth
ing to justify the expense. Chairman
Hustace suggested that the water carts
be got out, however.
The fleet reception committee asked
that the Hawaiian band be supplied
with extra musicians for the time the
battleships would be here. Nothing
doing again. Harvey thought that no
one would know the difference in the
music, whether there were ten extra
players or not. Archer wanted to hire
eight more vocalists, but when he sug-
gested that four of these be girls and
Hustace laughed, he retired in the
sulks.
