GREAT IRRIGATION
PLANS FOR KAPAA

superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell and Land Commits
sioner Pratt returned from Kauai yes
terday. They went with Acting Gov
ernor Mott-Smith last week. Among
the matters looked into was the selec-
tion of school site at Eleele; the ex-
change of land with McBryde for per-
petual water rights for the pineapple
homesteads near Koloa; the sale of the
Kapaa town lots; the laying out Of
town lots at Anahola; and the plans
for great irrigation scheme for Ka-
paa lands.
In regard to the latter the govern
ment has splendid water rights with
abundant water for all the land, and
the only thing is plan for utilizing it.
Only preliminary observations were
made. Mr.. Campbell will go over again
in December with corps of engineers
to make further surveys and studies.

BUSY At WASHINGTON
To CHANGE SITE Of
OUR FEDERAL BUILDING
Influences at Work to Trade the Opera House
- Block for Downtown Property Already
Chosen by Government.

I the Henry Waterhouse Trust Co., and
only after every opportunity had been
offered residents to state their objec.
tions as to one or the other sites seems
to have settled the matter so far as
the local public is concerned.
The Washington writer also stated
that the movement of the interested
party at Washington 10 obstruct the
development of the plans is likely to
hold up all operations looking toward
an early start on the building. If the
think that the local people are still
divided over the question of the build
ing site, it is suggested that they will
simply sit down and wait.
A prominent member of the Mer-
chants Association stated yesterday
that as between the two sites, the Ma
huka site had finally been chosen be-
cause of its central location. It is

close by, and within a few minutes
from almost any business house in
town, whereas the Irwin site is located
too far away from the business section,
is, in fact, beyond the edge of one side.
The Friday meeting is likely to be
largely attended and if at that time
a sense of the two organizations is call
ed for as to the favored site, the mat
ter is likely to be settled Immediately.
On October 27 Mr.. Mcclellan wrote
from Washington that the Superintend-
ent of Architecture of the Treasury De-
partment was to take up the matter
of the Federal building for Honolulu
and get a decision from the authorities
as to whether competitive plans for the
building should be invited.

WATERWORks
NEEDS AND PLANS
Superintendent N. CampbelI's
Views About the Right
Policy.

The Beretania avenue pumping station
was shut down for five hours on Mon
day night due to the wearing out of
nut in a part of the machinery not
open to easy inspection. It was good
luck that serious damage was not done
and the pumping station shut down for
a longer period, and at this particular
time when the water works system is
just able to meet the urgent require
ments of the situation.
sfThis incident illustrates just how
close we are to the possibilities of a
situation that would be something aw-
full, said Superintendent of Public
Works Marston Campbell. "The truth
is that our waterworks system is a
patchwork concern that was built from
time to time to meet the immediate
and was not planned to
comprehensively meet the needs of the
city. [ do not say this in any criticism
of my predecessors. They did what
was possible with the material provided.
But unless sufficient funds are provided
to put the system ON basis that the
demands on it require, we will con-
stantly be on the verge of disquieting
possibilities.
fETake the pump that was installed
at Makiki last July and August. In
stalled to meet an emergency it has in
reality saved the situation. IF it had
not been for it, the Nuuanu reservoir
supplies would have been exhausted
weeks ago, and we actually would not
have been in a position to have sup
piled any water to large areas of the
city. By means of that pump the Ma
xiki region as far west as Pensacola
street and all above Wilder avenue, be-
;ides Manoa and College Hills, is served

her than Pensacola.

SMALL BLAZE,
MUCH P|L|kIA
Alarms Turned in From Two
Boxes and AIarmiSt Is
Detained.

First, a fire alarm was whistled from
box 54, King street and Dowsett Lane,
and then a little later second alarm
sounded from box So, near Liliha street,
the one from which false alarm was
sent in last Sunday night. 1t was a
suspicious combination of circumstances
and the little Chinaman who had broken
the glass face of box SO and pulled
down the lever that started the fire
whistle going second time, found him
self in the clutches of the police.
When the police wagon arrived there
was no fire and apparently there had
been none, so the Chinaman was
bundled into the patrol wagon. It was
suggested that Fire Chief Thurston had
better be interviewed first. Sure enough
there had been a fire, but it was of no
consequence, except to cause two alarms
to be turned in. And then the China
man was released.
In a little second story room in the
building on King street and Desha Lane
some Hawaiians had been chatting af-
ter an evening meal. All went out save
one, and finally he went to an adjoin-
ing room leaving a candle burning. He
returned in few minutes to find that
the candle had toppled over and set
fire to some cloth and the woodwork
had ignited. It was just a slight blaze
but he took no chances, and yelled
Fire!" There were just two fire
boxes in the vicinity and each one was
patronized.
There was the usual run of autos,
hacks, buggies, street cars and pedestri-
ans to the fire.

nor my appreciation of the beautiful
setting wherein they are enclosed.
IT is particularly a pleasure to have
this testimonial prominently before
me, as I am most unfortunately de-
prived of the use of and the delight
ful associations connected with the
table itself. I had hoped that I might
have gathered my family around it on
Thanksgiving Day to drink health and
happiness to those who had so gener-
Ously sent us such a token of remem-
brance.
But instead of that, the table which
had come safely the long distance
from its Island source now lies in fifty
feet of water in New York harbor. In
attempting to avoid collision, the
captain of the steamer which was
bringing the table to Boston ran his
ship upon a rock and she was sunk
with her valuable cargo, my table
among the rest. Efforts are being
made to raise the vessel and save her
cargo. I hope in due time to recover
the table, even though in a damaged
state, and by placing it in the hands
of fully competent workmen to have il
restored to its original beauty and use

pleasure of assembling round it family
