All. GOMPANYyW WILL
NOT RAISE RATES

Chronicle. December 20-The an
nouncement that the American-Hawai-
ian Steamship Company has abandon
ed it's proposal to advance rates Jan
uary l, 1909. marks the first victory
in the fight of the shippers of Cali
fornia to defeat the contemplated
increases of rail and water freight
tariffs.
Shippers have been notified by the
traffic officers of the big ocean freight
line that no increases of rates will be
made. and that instead of advancing
its tariffs to meet all new rail rates,
as it formerly intended, the company
will accept shipment via Tehuantepee
at prevailing rates.
Details of the latest proposal of the
American Hawaiian Company are not
obtainable. In informing shippers of
the abandonment Of the contemplated
increases of rates the company moved,
as it thought, secretly, and especially
cautioned its patrons to avoid making
the press cognizant of the new policy.

GUAVA BUSHES
NOT PLENTIFUL
Are Gradually Disappearing Into
the Charcoal kiIns of
Japanese.

Guava tracts are fast passing into
the has been list according to a promi-
nent attorney who has been searching
for such lands on this island. The
guava is fast disappearing in the char.
coal kilns of enterprising japanese and
in few years the guava bush may be
rare.
The attorney made inquiries of the
agent of large corporation for guava
lands between Waipahu and Walalua
and received a reply to the effect that
he had no such lands now and that those
with guavas on were in the hands of
Japanese charcoal burners. Similar in
quiry on windward Oahu brought the
same answer.
Some of the gulehes are yet choked
with guava bushes, some of them of
great height, but gradually these are
disappearing before the charcoal man,
who patiently tolls alone in the noun
tains, adds to his pile of charcoal and
occasionally sets out to market the re-
suits. Charcoal is in great demand
among the japanese and guava bushes
make the best in the market.

WORK DONE AND DOING
On THE NUUhDU DAM

"There is about hundred ten hour
days of sluicing to be done on the
Nuuanu DAM" said Superintendent of
Public Works Marston Campbell yes
terday. eff we have normal Nuuanu
Valley weather, giving us anywhere
from ten to seventeen or eighteen days
each month in which we can sluice con-
tinuously twenty-four hours a day,
three months will see that work done
The sluicing cannot be kept up contfn-
uously for there must be time given for
the material to settle. The ideal is for
few days of sluicing and then rest
of a few days.
Notwithstanding the abnormal
weather in Nuuanu the past summer,
the least rainfall for thirty years, the
construction has not been delayed as
much as some think Though we have
not been able to sluiee as much
as I'VE would have liked, all other de-
partments of the work have gone on.
We have been getting out stone for the
riprapping, and the riprapping has be-
gun. 1t will be kept up to about TWEEN
ty feet of the top of the embankment,
so that when the sluicing is finished
there will remain only about twenty
feet of the riprapping to be done.
"No other process of putting this
material in place would be practicable.
1t is right in the region Of frequent
drizzling rains. These keep the surface
of the soil damp or wet, making the
handling of it by shovels or scrapers
or any similar means difficult, expen-
sive, and unsatisfactory. 1t would be
practically impossible to get an even
distribution of it, and even tamping.
Sluicing is the ideal way.
Given if the dam had been finished
now, it would not have helped in the
dry weather we have had in the past
From the point of view of construc-
ton, the delay and drought have been
no objection, because it has given OPP
portunity for the material to settle and
solidify. The material in the embank
ment is denser, more solid, than it was
in its original place, because the finer
material has beeen carried down by the
water into the coarser MATERIAL
