To Compel Observance of Treaties.

Liverpool, April 14.-"If by June
next Belgium has not annexed the
Congo Independent State on accept
able terms, the British government is
determined. with the cooperation OF
the American government, to take
measures which will compel the Con.

ADvIcEs from Washington say that
Congressman Nelson p. Wheeler has Just
been advised by the commissioner of PEN
sions that he has allowed to Judson H.
Sowels, of Mercer, a pension at the rate
of S72 per Month. The granting of PEN
sions at such large rate is decidedly
unusnal. Mr.. Sewers served in the Span
ish-American war and is now totally
disabled as a result of the service, and
has other complications. The pension is
dated from March last.

A POST ELECTION reflection by good
Brer Smith, of the Punxsutawney Spirit,
who, we grieve to learn, went down under
the weight of adverse ballots at the re-
cent primaries in his Congressional dis
trict; "a political campaign is instruc-

out whole lot of things about the
weakness, cupidity and general cussed :

The contest for the Republican nomina-
tons. while quite spirited, especially on
the Assembly and County Commissioner
questions, was yet very orderly and with
out any brass band accomplishments. On
the latter Office the vote was exceedingly
close between VIM. Harrison and Fred
Reib, and not until the last precinct was
heard from could any one say which of
the two had been successful. The Pro-
thonotsry contest also developed close
hitch between j. G. Geist and Harry
Harp, the former winning by eighteen
votes, according to the face ofthe returns.
The Republican turnout was very good
and showed that interest in political af-
fairs is by no means on the wane in the
party. Under the new primary law the
qualifications of voters are the same as at
the general election and voters are no
longer permitted to cast their ballots
wherever they happen to be on election
day, making it easy to swell the vote at
primary contests because of the loose
methods heretofore prevailing.
We publish table this week embracing
each office on which there was a contest.
This table is not official, but il is not
likely that the official figures, which will
not be canvassed until today, will change
the result any. The totals for all candi-
dates are not obtsinsble at present, but
will be given later.
The ticket nominated is good one and
will commend itself to the voters at the
November election. Every one of the
successful candidates is stanch Republic
can, and having received clear plurality
of the Republican voters of the county, is
to the united and loyal support
of the party. Let us drop whatever feel
ing of disappointment that may have
come out OF the little family contest and
go about to elect all our candidates by
old fashioned msjorities.

Accidental Death of Homer Burdick,

Homer Dwight Burdick was born May
29th, 1884, and for the past few years was
a resident of Porkey, Howe twp, living
with his father, Robert W. Burdick, gen.
orally working for his father on saw mills,
but in April, 1907, went to Illinois and
procured a pumping job at Robinson,
with the Red Bank Oil Co. In January of
the present year he made his parents a
visit for few days, but was compelled to
make his visit short on account of only
having short vacation. On March 30th
he steamed some oil to be run out by the
pipe line gauger, and on the 3lst was get
ting up steam to pump the oil out with a
field pump, when the boiler exploded
badly mutilating his body and killing
him almost instantly. His brother-in-
law, G. W. Barney, wired his parents of
the sad accident, and after a funeral serv-
ice at the FIRST NJ. Z. Church at Robinson.
the remains were started for this place,
and were met at Sheffield by his relatives
and friends where the remains we're in
TERED. Homer was general favorite
wherever known, and was always ready
to join in any social function. About
three years ago he began the work of the
Savior and was faithful unto DEATH"
This fact was proven by the most beauti-
full tribute of sympathy and love sent to
the parents by the Robinson Sunday
School class of which he was a member.
We shall miss him but he is safe, and we
have the consolation of knowing that if
we prove faithful we shall again be united
in Paradise.
The floral offerings at the funeral were
many and very pretty. The funeral SER
mon was preached by Rev. r. ]. Mont
gomery of Kellettville, in the Minister
church, where young Mr.. Burdick was a
member. Thus young man is cut down
in the prime of life, when we look for old
or ones to go first. Life is so uncertain that
1t pays to be ready, like Homer was, to
meet our God. May we all meet him in
heaven ION that Great Day." r.

the wharf a trunk that should have
been aboard the ship. The end of a
heaving line was thrown ashore, but
by the time the trunk was made fast
the liner was about ten feet away
from the wharf. 1t was launched in
the air and swung against the ship S
side with crash that would have
warmed the heart of baggage smash

RISING INTEREST IN THE
EARLY BOOKS OF HAWAII

The recent visit of Mr.. Howard NJ.
Ballou of Boston, who spent the sum
mer here in completing, with Governor
Carter, their photography of books in
the native Hawaiian language, has done
much to stimulate interest in the col
lecting of Hawaiian books. Several
gentlemen are beginning to form libraries
of Hawaiiana who had not before made
speciality of that subject, while old
collectors are adding largely to their
collections.
The Library of Congress is endeav-
oring to perfect its already large col
lection of Hawaiian books, and its rep
resentatives at book auctions have
practically unlimited bids at their dis
erection to purchase the rare Hawaiian
items that are occasionally offered.
Through the poor management of the
largest Hawaiian sale of the year-the
library of the late Henry c. Carter of
New Iork-none of the prominent col
leetors of Hawaiiana receiving anv no
tice of the auction. the Library of Con
gress picked up many choice examples
at its own price, specimen of the first

which less than 200 copies were struck

plant. that is so inadequate for the de-
mands made on it that Joe Little holds
his breath while the tanks on Kaimuki
/ Hill are being filed, for fear this pipe
will give way, and that region be left
without water.
! owe shall have ready for presenta-
ton to the Legislature plans for sys-
tenn, which, when carried out, viii fully
provide for a population of $4,000 u.s.
! ing per capita allowance of 800 gal
Ions day. The plan viii be complete
with maps and estimates. 1t includes
a sixteen-inch main along King street.
One difficulty with our present system
is that the mains are too small. The
loss of power and pressure by friction
is something terrific. 1t aoludes a new
reservoir at Kaimuki. 1t includes a
reservoir on Punchbowl at 2SO feet ele-
vation, and one within the rim of
Punchbowl at an elevation of 400 feet.
We have found a splendid location for
a reservoir within the rim requiring
tunnel of only sixty feet to get the
water to it.
"We are now preparing maps show
ing contour elevations at the 150-foot
elevation. the 2S0-foot elevation, and
the 400foot elevation. By means of
x-oJx-ag oil y.,a+ar mains haIouy tba 750-
foot elevation may be shut off from
the main above it. Those above 280
feet may in the same way be shut off
from those above that elevation. From
the 400-foot reservoir an overflow pipe
will run to the 280-foot elevation, and
an overflow from that to the 150-foot
elevation. By this means we can give
equal pressure all over the city. The
pressure in the high elevations will be
just as good as that in the low eleva-
tions.
"We already have the high lift
pump for the 400-foot reservoir. 1t was
bought several years ago. IF, in addi'
ton, the upper Pauoa springs, which
have a minimum flow of a million gal
Ions a day, are bought, the water from
these can be brought down at an ele-
vation of 7S0 feet and distributed
through mains at that elevation, the
overflow running into the 400-foot
reservoir This would permit building
at any elevation under that. Of course,
the price that would have to be paid
for these springs would be the determin-
ing factor. They are not essential to
the system, but they complete it. Be
sides it should be the policy to obtain
for the public use all sources of un-
contaminated water tributary to the
city. The purchase of the Pauoa
springs would necessarily mean the con-
troll of the watershed above it.
eff the revenues of the waterworks
were given to the system to extend
and complete itself with, for four years,

off, being secured for twenty-five cents
Mr.. Ballou interested the library
committees of the Hawaiian Historical
Society and the Hawaiian Board to
atfix prices to the duplicates in their
collections and to authorize their sale,
thus enabling several local bibliophiles
to augment their collections. The Lii
brarS of Congress has just forwarded
through Mr.. Ballou an order for nearly
hundred volumes lacking on its
shelves, while the same mail brought
to Mr.. Westervelt an equally large
order from Mr.. f. f. Aver of Chicago,
who has recently added Hawaiian and
Philippine literature to his immense col
lection of books on the American In
dians.
This scattering of duplicates is very
desirable, as not only are the books
separated beyond the chance of all be-
ing destroyed by fre-for with the ex-
ception of the Archives none of our
libraries are at all freproof-but the
additional interest awakened in Ha-
waiian matters can not but be beneficial,
while the funds obtained from the use
less duplicates can be wisely expended
in the different spheres of activity of
the respective associations.
