WORST DROUGHT
FOR NINE YEARS in
NUUANU VALLEY

The worst drought for nine years is
making its assaults ON the Nuuanu
valley water supply of the city. There
has not been good rain for five
months. The occasional light showers
which do fall in the upper part of the
valley merely wet the grass for few
minutes. They scarcely even freshen
the vegetation and they make no i'm
preston whatever on the parched
earth, which, cracking open, absorbs
every drop OF moisture the scant clouds
Of this summer deposit.
The Nuuanu supply of water is now
reduced to the perennial springs in the
upper valley. There is no surface sup
ply at all. This supply is reduced to
less than two million gallons a day.
The three upper reservoirs, which
includes the new one now under con-
struction, are empty, and the lower
one contains only nine feet of water.
Unless the drought is broken soon, the
question of water supply for the
higher levels will become serious one.
Every day brings the situation nearer
a crisis. Only that all experience is

M. II. COOK DIVORCED FROM
MRS. II. e. F1IGHTON'S SISTER

SAN FRANCISCO, July ls.-With
all the secrecy possible Milton H. Cook,
manager of the II. N. Cook betting
company and wealthy San Francisco
businessman, secured an interlocutory
decree of divorce last Saturday, the
case being heard behind closed doors
in Judge Trout 3 court. The evidence
that was given was kept close secret,
but from the nature of the charges in
the complaint it must have been of a
character possessing a slightly sensa
tional tinge. In his complaint he
charged his wife with leaving home
at night when he was away and with
refusing to say where she had been.
He also complained that she received
numerous men visitors that were "un-
acceptable and Objectionable to him.
SUDDEN RETURN CAUSES CLIMAX
The climax of their marital troubles
occurred a short time ago. Cook had
planned to make business trip to Los
Angeles, but the plan fell through and
on returning home found there state
of affairs at which he took extreme
umbrage. An intensely stormy scene
ensued, ana was followed by divorce
proceedings Instituted by him. The
case was conducted with the greatest
rapidity. The day following the fling
of the complaint and answer it was
brought up in court. 1t was heard at
noon Saturday, when the building was
deserted. The doors were locked. Wis
itors were excluded, and in an incred-
IDLY brief time the interlocutory decree
was granted. Then every effort was
made to keep the matter secret. The

Dear Tom: There has been some dis

and lawful American flag which | have
found to be both interesting and anus.
rag. The controversy arose from the
sale of flags bearing .forty-eight stars
instead of the regulation number forty
ak.
The whole question was brought be-
fore the public by a lawyer in town
who refused to accept II forty eight
star flag declaring that it was not an
American flag, which must have only
3erty-six in its constellation.
The salesman stuck to his point of
view and the lawyer was equally stub.

lawyer betting one hundred dollars, the
ether party fifty; the decision was to

question was submitted to a naval of
&eer and the lawyer lost his bet.
OF course, do not pretend to speak
W5th authority on this Question, but
have to confess that with all due
respect to the u. s. Navy, ! sympathize
with the lawyer in this case.
A s.star spangled banner bearing
fortyeight stars presents to the casual
observer all the general aspects of the
American flag; but would any army OF

it is not n regulation nag and will not

against the probability of the drought
continuing much longer, the situation
would be one to cause forebodngs.
The installation of the pump at Ma
kiki by Superintendent of Public
Works Campbell few weeks ago,
greatly relieved the situation in many
respects, and enabled the water from
Nuuam valley to be husbanded for the
upper levels where it alone is available
in default of the high lift pump which
was bought eight years ago and has
since lain unused at the Honolulu Iron
Works because no legislature has
authorized its installation. Nuuanu
water was formerly supplied east of
Pensacola street, but that part of the
city is now supplied from the Makilxi
pump. But all the higher levels are
still supplied from Npuanu valley and
must be.
Because the water is so low in the
reservoirs in Nuuanu valley, and be-
cause of the long continued drought,
the supply from that source is not as
good as it should be, and should not
be drunk without boiling it. For this
reason it is the part of both wisdom
and prudence that no water from the
city mains should be drunk without
hoilinu
