power will be one thousand miles.
The Perikon receiver was endorsed
at the meeting today. This receiver
will be sent here Immediately and will
enable Honolulu to receive messages
from North Head, Washington, Mare
Island, Bremerton and San Francisco,
Magdalena Bay, anywhere from a dis
tance of 1000 to 5000 miles.
1t was decided to raise the power OF
the Nawiliwili, Kauai, station, to five
kilowats, and it is now but about
a third of a kilowat.
1t was decided to strengthen Lahaina
from about a half a kilowat to five kilo-
watts.
kahuku will, at the minimum, be ten
kilowats, and will be ready, as occasion
demands to be raised to 100 kilowats.
Letters were read which would indi-
cate that the Pacific Mail S. s. Co, the
Occidental e Oriental S. S. Co.. the
Toyo Kisen Kaisha S. S. Co, the
Oceanic S. S. Co., and the American
Hawaiian S. S. Co., will all come in for
the service. The Matson Navigation
Co.'S steamships are already equipped.
The Tenyo Maru, the new boat of the
T. K. X. S. S. Co, will be equipped
with ethergrammatic apparatus on her
first voyage this way, as will other new
boats of the line
The Puako station will eventually
be abandoned for the new station at
Hilo.
At the very latest the Kahuku long
distance station will be in operation
on July Is, probably on July ! (about
the time the fleet gets here), possi-
bly, by the middle of June
The first power plant to be in
stalled for the wireless at Kahuku
will be a twenty-horse power gasoline
alternating dynamo. to be strength
ened as necessity arises.
There is money back of this scheme
and the determination to make of the
stations here the worlds center in
wireless, absolutely. And as soon as
any Improvement is noted in wire
less, the local company will adopt it.
The Army and the Navy will. of ne.
cessity, have to come in with the
! local commercial system or put up
their own plants, and they cannot
put up better plants than will be
installed by the Wireless Telegraph

The long distance wireless power

similar station at Hilo and the
Strengthening of stations at Nawili-
will, Kauai, and a tLahaina, Maui
The stockholders of the Wireless
Telegraph Company this morning held
a meeting at which it was decided to
Immediately proceed with the con-
struction of ten-kilowat power sta
tion at Kahuku.
Arthur A. Isbell, expert, was nomin-
ated and elected superintendent of con-
struction and will have charge of the
putting up of the power plant at Ka-
nuku and will then be superintendent
of operation.
This Territory will, without doubt, be
the greatest wireless center in the
world.
/ At the meeting this morning the
stockholders enthusiastically endorsed
all the suggestions of the management.
The main idea is, whatever the cost
to make the stations here reliable-to
make them dependable.
In the daytime the Kahuku station
will have a sending power of at least
five hundred miles. In the night time,
when atmospheric conditions are al
ways more favorable. the least sending

MONTHS

One hundred and forty-eight days
from Hamburg and one hundred and
thirty-nine days from The Downs, the
spick-and-spanner, British ship Celtic
Monarch, commanded by ye goode
Captain Llewellyn (and not Thomas
the shipping guides please to insist,
was showed alongside the Sorensons
wharf this forenoon by the tug lntre-
pid, Captain Lane the name of the
master of the said tug being mention
ed for the good reason that he has mad
his fill of windjammers of late and
has 'seen his duty and done it noble"
thereby.
Llewellyn is a Weshman and a gem
tleman, but he positively refuses to
tell any story of shipwreck, disaster,
fearful storm, electric phenomena, sub
marine earthquake, floating islands,
tidal waves, waterspouts, icebergs,
whales, mermaids, mutiny, seadust,
derelicts, ships in distress or other
wonders or dangers of the sea. He is
truthful skipper, is Llewellyn, and
he merely stated, for publication, that
the Celtic Monarch had bad weather
and good weather mixed, off and on,
come and go, and that nothing out
rageous or extraordinary happened
during the voyage.
The only extraordinary feature OF
the voyage is that the Celtic Monarch
should arrive on Good Friday after
clearing The Downs on Advent Sun
day.
Honolulu harbor is now the happy
entertainer of four windjammers: AM
erican ship John Ena, American ship
Dirigo, Russian ship Dundee and Brit
ish ship Celtic Monarch; the three first
named four-masters and the latter a
three-master, with painted ports, the
kind that used to fool pirates.
The Celtic Monarch has a full cargo
for the Hawaiian Fertilizer Company.
She did not hear or see anything OF
the Arthur Sewall nor the Bangalore,
the latter out 1T days, and reinsured
at 10 per cent, from Norfolk, for Ho-
nblulu.
This is the first visit of the Celtic
Monarch to Honolulu and also the
first visit of Captain Llewellyn.

make a fine quality of cement. On fol-

Specimens were therefore taken out

furnished with samples and asked to

adaptability of the rock for the pur-

From all sources to which the sam

to be practically settled that Hawaii
will have another industry added to

The.COrn Contest.

The corn contest, which was ar
ranged by Superintendent Hendon
among the boys of the parish schools
has been an interesting one, and the
prizes have been awarded.
Lewellin Spillman of New Hope
School in the 9Th ward, won first
prize, five dollar gold piece offered
by Mr.. Hendon. Lewellin raised 4A
pounds of corn in the shuck from the
half-pint of seed furnished him in the
spring.
The second prize, a suit of clothes
given by NJ. & L. Wolf, has been
won by Ernest Harvey of the Free
land school in the second ward, who
raised 3S9 pounds. The prizes will be
presented to these boys upon the SUI
perintdenent's next visit to their re-
spective schools.
The True Democrat congratulates
these boys not only on their success,
but even more on their industry and
intelligent farming, which made sue
cess possible.
The contest will be renewed another
year and tits to be hoped that the
schoolboys will enter into it with even
greater zest, as the contest will be con-
Quoted on an improved plan.
We append the report given by
Ernest Harvey as to how he produced
his prize corn. He says: "After scat
tering stable fertilizer broadcast a
the rate of 20 tons per acre, | broke
up the ground with six burrows using
turning pillow. March 7 after open
ing trench with a turning pillow,
planted the corn in hills about twt

hoed it. April IS, I scattered cotto1
seed meal at the rate of 200 pound
per acre, and then nodded and plough
