The Japanese committees have held

ment. One party, representing the
business interests, wish to contribute
their funds to the general entertain
ment scheme, while the other party,
the general rank and file
of the Honolulu Japanese, wish to have

of japanese sports, to which the SAIL
ors of the warships will be invited as
the special guests.
Nothing is definitely decided and

the dredger could stand in the requir-
ed depth while it did its work.
The material brought up by the
fdredger Governor is emptied into cars
on a scow or lighter brought alongside
the dredger When these cars are
loaded the scow is towed. to a landing
on the island which has been fitted for
this purpose. There the cars are land
ed and hauled by a locomotive over
movable track and the contents of the
car are dumped-always on the sea-
ward side of the track. AS the island
is built out seaward in this way the
track is moved constantly in the same
direction.
The arrangements for the landing of
the cars from the scows or lighters to
the island is quite an ingenious and
effective arrangement. The track
comes to the waters edge. There an
apron is built, one end OF it resting
on the island, and the other supported
by counterweight and SO adjusted that
it can be raised or lowered to adjust
the height to the stage of the tide or
the varying draught of the scows.
When a scow with it's ten loaded
cars is brought up to this landing the
apron is let down until it's surface is
even with the surface of the scow.
The track on the scow thus meets the
track on the apron, and the locomotive
couples on and draws the cars right
off the scow and out to where their
contents are to be dumped.
The drill which is used in the work

closed. Along one of the longer sides
of the scow there is row of drills.
gines on the scow. The scow is moor
ed by ropes from both sides, which
operate over winches, and thus the
whole affair can be brought to any
required position and held there while
the drilling goes on. When all the
drills have been driven to the required
depth, blasts of dynamite or giant
powder are placed in each hole drilled.
Wires are connected with them. Then
the drill scow is moved off to safe
distance by means of it's winches and
is set off simultaneously by electricity.
A view of one of these blasts at close
range is interesting. Very little rock is
thrown UP to the surface of the water
or above it, the water acting as a
cushion to prevent this. But the water
itself is thrown up in miniature gey-
sers, and for several seconds after the
blast is exploded the water directly
above it is boiling mass with a level
fully foot above the general level
of the water in the harbor
After this subsidies, the drill scow is
moved back into position, and a new
row of holes is drilled a regular dis
lance back from the last row. Thus
the bottom is blasted loose in regular

WORK OF ENLARGING HONOLULU HARBOR

alton of Sand Island.

ment has entered in pursuance of the
$4OO,O00 contract authorized by Con-
gress, is now in full swing. Two

by means of when the heavy coral of
the bottom of the harbor is blasted
and an island to be known as Sand
Island and which will occupy an area
of something. like two hundred acres
is being built up.
The general plan of the harbor i'm
provement is to cut off the old point
where the lighthouse stood for so many
years, and to greatly widen the harbor
from the channel entrance, Eva. The
harbor has always been narrow at the
point where the channel enters it. so
that large steamers lying at wharves
in the part of the harbor Waikiki of
the foot of Fort street, always had
difficulty in turning around to go out.
This narrowness also affected vessel
berthing at the other end of the har-
Dor, but not so much, and for two yes
sells to attempt to pass in this part of
the harbor was dangerous.
The work now in progress is at the
old lighthouse point and the portion
of tho barhor in that vicinity The
suction dredger Reclamation is at
work between where the old lighthouse
stood and where the foundations have
been built for the new lighthouse, or
as it is officially designated, the front
range light of Honolulu harbor. From
this dredge the material brought up
from the bottom is forced through a
long line of pipe about q foot in dia- I
meter, which passes across the island
which is in process of formation, or !
ratheg of enlargement, and emptfes on
solid material dropping to add to the I!
accretions to the island, while the wa !
ter in which it is carried runs off to |,
mingle again with the water of the i
ocean.
The deep dredging and the dredging !
of the hard material is being done by +
the dredger Governor. For this work .
both the 'tarm and the legs" of the !
Governor had to be heightened, the
arm so that the dipper part of the .
dredge could reach down to the re-
quired depth, and the legs" so that
