WATER PROBLEM

THE FLOOD SHOWS QUALITY EXPECTED
STORM PERIoDS-ALSO REVEALS WATER POWER
FROM BIG DAM TO PUMP ABB UNDANCE ARTEsIAN WATER
FOR HONoLULUS DOMESTIC SUPPLY.

The need of clean supply Of arte-
sian water for Honolulu and the proof
that the plans offered by Superinten-
dent of Public Works Campbell are
practicable, was clearly shown yester-
day by trip to Nuuanu. While the
four reservoirs were all of them full
Of water, its color would have been
enough to dissuade anyone from drink
ing it. Brown as the brownest hat that
ever was worn by a member of the Or
pheum Company, and no more fit tc
drink when pure water can be obtain
ed than the water from the Pacific
ocean, it was certainly shown up yes
terday.
The reservoirs were full, the dam
had stood up to it's work in such mag
niflcent style that all connected with
it were pleased, but still the character
of the water was hardly pleasing and
called more attention to what it might
well be used for, power with which to
pump pure artesian water.
The three lower reservoirs, holding
together 38,0OO,OO gallons, and the No.
4 reservoir behind the new dam, with
its 100000 gallons, were all ready
for the work which they had to do
In spite of the several hundred mil
lion gallons poured down into the
Nuuanu Valley yesterday by the rain
of the night and morning not n bit
of damage was done.
The water from the Lulumahu gulch
was turned off into the stream, instead
of following the ditch which has been
taking it to the new dam for use, and
no one, except for the amount of wa
ter in the reservoirs, would ever have
imagined that there had been a STORM.

OOKAbA BOND
REDEMPTION
EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS

OCTOBER.
DOLLARS

Ookala will pay off it's $4,000 of
bonds on october 1 next. This was
decided at meeting of the stock
holders of Ookala Sugar Co. this
morning. A resolution authorizing
the directors to redeem the bonds on
the date mentioned was passed.
"The bonds are due October 1, 1909,
but a clause in the bond reserves the
privilege of redemption on any inter-
est bearing date" George H. Robert
son said this morning. 1.-THE interest
bearing days are October and April
1 of any year.
1.-THE crop has so overrun the esti-
mate and prices of sugar have been
so much better than expected that
the plantation is in a position to pay
off the bonds on October 1. Due no
tice will be given to the bondholders
and the bonds will cease to bear in
terest on the first of October
80 far no stakeholder has propos-
ed reorganization of the company
when it's charter expires next year.
The old stock will be retired and per-
haps the plantation will be reorgan-
lied by new company, but none OF
the present stockholders have propos-
ed anything in regard to the matter.

ADD TO
WHARvES

If the Legislature is willing to APP
propriate the money needed for the
improvements to the local shipping
facilities which are proposed in a map
submitted recently to Governor Frear,
there will be many important changes
in the Honolulu waterfront. New
wharves and dredging out old slips TO
greater length and depth are part
of the plans, which are extremely
comprehensive.
The first new wharf proposed is on
the Eva side of Naval wharf No. 1
and equals that the latter in size and
length The two will be alongside of
each other and the Territorial pro-
perty only divided from that of the
Navy by a fence. This will be next
to the Alakea street wharf.
On the Eva side of the Alakea street
wharf still greater changes are rec
commended. The old Kinau wharf is
to be dropped altogether aud a neA
wharf of the same length and width
as the new Territorial wharf at Ala
kea street to be. built. Another i'm
provement which would be of great
advantage is the building of wharf
parallel to Fort street which will run
clear back to Allen street and of
dredging back so that the large vessels
may come in up to that point.
1t is proposed to open a street from
Queen street along the present Allen
and Robinson wharf ending at the
Oceanic dock, which will open this
property and increase it in value both
for utility and in a financial light.
1t is proposed to dredge the slip
between the Inter-Island dock ana tie
Hackfeld wharf to a depth of 80 feeL
and the slip on the other side, between
the Alakea and first railroad wharf,
half way down to the same depth. This
will greatly improve this part of the
harbor.

lighting the critical theatre-goers tor

petent to judge say that it is the best
thing that has been produced for a
long time and as the bill will be
changed tomorrow those who wish to
see this magnificent production must
do so tonight.

dancing should not fail to see them.

LOOKING AHEAD

The Rapid Transit Co. is bending a
new piece of track to connect the Fort
street with the Queen street rails. Pre-
sident l.. Tenney Peck. asked If this
implied a change in car schedules,
said it did not for the present. A per-
manent kind of pavement was being
laid on Queen street and there was a
possibility that the traffic would some
time warrant connecting the water
front with the Punahou line. Hence
the change was being made in the track
now so that there would be no neces-
sity of tearing up the pavement in flu
ture when it might be desired to run
the cars on Queen street.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-09-02

the dam lar above the spillway, was
to be seen, but not break or even
slight washout could be observed
anywhere.
The sluicing work will now COM
mence in earnest. Only eleven days
at this work has been done as yet,
still the enormous amount of material
which has been washed into the fill is
surprising and shows the value of this
kind of work. The material is of the
finest quality. 1t is very heavy, vita
a combination of gravel and small
rocks which packs firmly and II akes
an ideal filing.
A small dam has been built when
takes the sluicing water off, settles it
and then allows it to be used over
again. With the exception of fifteen
minutes in the morning and the same
time at noon one of the sluicing pumps
uses this water alone on the days
when the sluicing is going on. The
water used for sluicing amounts to
about 1,945,0OO gallons per day, while
about 100000 gallons is used from
Nuuanu for the city supply, so it may
be seen that the new dan is doing
plenty of work right now.
1t is estimated that with the ordi-
nary supply of water an electrical
plant placed at the lower reservoir
will give 1000 horsepower for a day
of eight hours or smaller amount
for a longer period. In addition to
this the water may be caught up and
used again lower down for another 500
horsepower. This total of POO horse
power will be able to pump enough
artesian water to give Honolulu no
thing but the best and purest Of drink
ing fluids
