COMPANY MUST MIX

Rich and Harris Alleged to Have Beer
Slack in the Observance of Spe-
cifcations Provided
by the City.

A small tempest in a concrete mixer
has been stirred up this week by the
discovery by the city engineers in
spectors that the Rich & Harris Con-
structiOn company, working on the
pavement of West Main street, had not
been complying with the specifications
calling for a certain mixture of ce-
ment. The company was notified
Monday that unless they lived up to
the specifications, work would have to
cease, and the construction firm imme-
diately met the demand.
For the past few days. rerresent-
ative of the city engineers office has
been on hand while the mixing of ce-
ment has been going on and according
to his report up until yesterday the com
panv was not complying with specifi-
cations.
Upon inquiry il was learned that the
entire body of the street committee
visited the scene of the Improvement
Monday and they have held special
meetings since but nothing was brought

waste of water and soil by wash

The individual system, also to be
demonstrated, calls for piping
water to- every tree. To make it
effective the water must have a head.
The pipe, which may be small, is run
to Within three feet of a tree to dis
charge water into a circular ditch or
basin built around the tee This
method is desirable in districts where
a small amount of water is desired to
do a large amount of irrigating. There
is no loss from evaporation or seep-
age, and only the ground in which the
tree grows receives the water. The

STRIKE CAUSES DEATH
OF JAPANESE LABORER

How much misery is being caused
among the wretched japanese strikers
by their being out of work and by the
loss of their savings is probably not
appreciated by many. During the
months since the strike commenced, few
of the strikers have made anything,
while their li.tle savings have gradu-
ally disappeared, not only through the
cost of living, but by reason of the
pleadings and demands of the officers
of the Higher Wage Association.
One pitifui instance of this misery
has come to light through the death at
japanese hospital at Waialua few
days ago of man named Morimoto
Heizo, who had for two years been
working for Kahuku plantation. When
the strike came on, he and his wife
were induced to contribute all their
savings to she strike fund.
1t was not long until the man real
lied the extent of his folly, and the
impossibility of getting his money
back. He worried over it so much that
he fell Ill and died few days later.
He left widow, and also eight chill
dren, who are in Japan, and to whom
he had been sending money. The old
est of the children, girl, is only Is,
while the youngest is but four years of
age. The death of the bread Garner
leaves them destitute
