uUUANU WATER
UNFIT FOR USE
Marston Campbell Points Out
Deficiencies in Water
System.

That Honolulu s water system at
present is "rotten," that water from
Nuuanu Valley under existing condi-
tons is unfit for human consumption,
that the only logical manner in which
to meet the situation is to install an
artesian system that will provide for
filtered water, and that water meters
should be placed throughout the city,
was the gist of the clear address given
by Marston Campbell, Superintendent
of Public Works, at the annual meet
ing of the Civic Federation, on the
roof garden of the Young Hotel last
night. Campbell pointed out the faults
of the system, as it stands at the pres
emf time, and he also named a remedy
that would not only provide the com
monwealth with good, pure water, but
would also prove cheaper to the indi-
vIdual citizen ia the long run
In the first place, the meeting last
night was not officially of the Civic
Federation, although it was called for
such. When DR.. Scudder took the
chair and the roll was called, il was
found that there was not a quorum
present. Consequently the business of
the meeting, the election of officers,
etc, was postponed until later date.
As everything was in readiness for the
talk of Mr.. Campbell, however, he was
called upon, and in concise language
that went straight to the heart of the
matter told the story of Honolulu e
water system and the manner in which
it is imperative at present to conduct
it. Lloyd Childs, who has done excel
lent work in getting up an exhibit fol

Exposition. made short talk after the
address of Marston Campbell, the lat

CAPT. MILLER MAY BUILD
BOAT WITH CONCRETE HULL

that he might experiment with vessel
of this kind. Steel rods worked into
the concrete make strong material.
Worms cannot eat into the structure as
they do into wooden vessels and there
are many other features in favor of the
concrete hull.
One inquiries whether such vessels
will float easily. Local seafaring peo-
pie point to the great steel battleships.
A heavy earthern bowl thrown into
water floats as easily as one of wood
or tin.
1t is said, however, that the concrete
hull being solid, has no Hgive," and
that when it comes in contact with the
end of a wharf the hull is likely to
split open, or crack. A wooden or a
steel hull is more or less resilient.
The Concord is now lying in Miller g
row. where the trim and handsome
schooner Luka, with interior fnishings
of polished koa, lies at anchor. Captain
Miller eontemplates sending the vessel

SUPERVISORS
At OLD CAME
Police Payroll and the Same
Talk About Little or
Nothing.

When Chairman Cox of the Board of
Supervisors police committee explain
ed at last night S session of the board
that Sheriff Jarrett understood that
the police department was to have had
IN February the same salary appropri-
alton as for January, and when Su-
pervIsor Quinn of the same commit
tee stated that he had been under the
impression that the Sheriff had been
told that the appropriation was cut
down but that he Quinn was mis-
taken in this, the board promptly voted
to give the police officers the same
pay rate FIR February as in January.
But (and the hopes of the police
were Immediately dashed) the January
rate IS effective only until the end of
| February, at which time, SO Mr.. Quinn
stated last night, the cut payroll goes
| into effect and the Sheriff must cut
his cloth to suit the shorn appropria-
| ton.
THIS was one of the most important
| matters under consideration. Super
visor Cox stated that he, as chairman
| of the police committee, had informed
the Sheriff that he would have the
same allowance for February as for
| January, and he moved that the Clerk
| be instructed to notify the Sheriff and
Auditor that all officers whose salaries
had been cut should be reimbursed.
Crow for Quinn.
Mr.. Quinn said that certain officers
| salaries had beer cut. He said there
| had been good deal of talk about it;
| that in the absence of Mr.. Cox, he

anticipated by the Sheriff. He said he
was always ready to eat crow any
time, he had made mistake, and bis
was ready to eat it right then, and
wast ~. = to rectify his error. The
| police had not been notified of any
cut to come, and they should receive
the salaries expected. He was under
| the impression that the Sheriff knew
all about the proposed cut.

Reaches West Safely

Annie Budz, aged 5 years, Polish child who started alone for Kansas City from Housatonic, Mass, recently reached her destination i'll safety. The child was put on the train at Housatonic by relatives and on her was attached 8 ticket stating that she was going to Kansas City and asking that she woulC be cared for by the use of the monev that, she had Ill an envelope. Conductor Woodruff of this train took the chil. from the car at Pittsield, Mass, anC put her in charge of Station Agent Ettel but it was with no little regret on tn, child's part, that she was separated from MT. Woodruff.as she had become greatly attached to him. MT. Etten, however put the young traYeler on the Boston X Albany train where she took a chair il the Pullman and she was given mucl attention by the trainmen and also b, some of the passengers for whom sh, sang while on her journey. Although she hated to leave Mir. Woodruff she seemed to enjoy the journey and every. thing was made very pleasant for her 4 telegram was sent on ahead to he. father at Kansas City aud he came on t, meet her before she reached her destlna tion. On Monday of last week word was received in Pittsfield of her sate ar rival. Annie is probably the only chilG of her age that has taken such a lon- journey alone in the history of the country and it may be considered very fortunate that she reached the end of her tour as soon as she did.

SALOONS LOCATED
 IN DRY TOWN
PROVEN BY STATE LINE RE-SURvEY
Two Saloons Actually Situated in Salisbury, Dry Town Since Civil War Land They Occupied Thought to be in New York State.

As the outcome of a re.sursey of the boundary line separating the states of New York and Connecticut the fact has been disclosed that strip of land al- ways claimed by Millerton, N. Y. is actually in the state of Connecticut and ill the town of Salisbury. It seems very peculiar that this has not been brought to light before, because Salisbury has been no-license town, supposedly. since the Civil war period. However. Hicks hotel which has license and Whslen's barroom are both located on this strip of land that has been discovered to be in the town of Salisbury, consequently, Salisbury has had two saloons in the town during the time it was sup posed to have been dry, and that's going some. There will probably be some thing done at once by the no-hcense advocates of Salisbury in reference to shutting off the sale of "wet goods" in the towp and this will mean that both license holders will have to move. This. however, will not easily be done, for it is understood that Frank Hotchkiss and NIT. Winteringham, well-to-do no-license residents of Millerton, have of late pur- chased considerable land near the re- gently founded state line, and, of course 1t will be impossible for Messrs. Hicks and Whalen to locate on this property. Another thing that will likely change l..s i. are enough license men residing on this strip of land to affect the vote in Miller ton so that the town will be dry, because it went license last year by only l5 votes. It might tend to also change the vote in Salisbury. It appears as If there will be great opportunity for campaigners to work at the next election.

A Deer" Story

The following is an article published in the Pittsfield Eagle recently and it appears to be similar to many such hap penings in Winsted. This also happened in Winsted and from the article it shows how plentiful deer are getting and how dangerous they are and principally what great intelligence they possess.
 A buck deer kept Harry, eleven-year- old son of Otto May, of Glastonbury, off the perfect attendance role at school this term, which means that his name will not appear ill the weekly newspaper with the list of prize pupils. Harry while on his way to school Monday saw a large deer with antlers. He yelled to see how fast the animal could run, and the boy hardly had time to get up a tree before the deer was upon him. The animal kept him up the tree till the school bell sounded and then went away app1rcntlY contente3.

Don'ts For Scholars

The following is list of don'ts to which all school boys and girls should take heed.
 Don't be untidy about your dress; keep your hair neatly combed and your finger nails clean.
 Don't use your school books roughly; handle them as carefully as though they were to last you lifetime.
 Don't be overbearing toward your teachers, nor think It smart to make them dislike you. They are devoting their time in helping you to get an education, the most necessary thing i'll the world for boy or girl to possess.
 Don't quarrel with your scl ool com panions. If boy or girl shows a dis position to be disagreeable, 1t is wise on your part to give him or her & wide berth"
 Don't think that by cheating at exams. you are playing a joke or a trek on your teachers and parents. Your per sonal education is of far vaster impor- tance to you than it is to them.
 Don't get into the lazy habit of being the last pupil in the school room of a morning.
 Don't brag or boast if you are at the head of your class. It can do you no possible good, and only makes those above whom you take rank hate and envy you.
 Don't carry tales from one school friend to another, but learn how to re- spect confidence and how to keep secret sacred.
 Don't think that the present days of childhood amount to nothing and that life only begins after becoming grown up." You are forming character and preparing for manhood and womanhood during your schooldays. Don't neglect the opportunity to make the most of your youth.

PLANS B|G SALE OF
 RED CROSS STAMPS
FIFTY MILLION ARE ORDERED
Director Bicknell Asks the Aid of the Newspapers of the Country in Dis posing of Them-Proceeds to be Used for Fighting Tuberculosis.

Ernest P. Bicknell, national director all appeal to all the newspapers of the country to aid in the sale of Red Cross Christmas stamps which will go on sale this week.
 The sale of the American Red Cross stamps will be held all over the country and they will be distributed even in the smallest towns in all of the states. Many agents have been engaged by the society to attend to the distribution of the stamps, and these agents will have sev- eral sub agents under them, so there will be no doubt that there will be very wide circulation of them throug out the country. To date, acquisitions from these agents aggregate over forty three thousand stamps, the whole quantity having been put out at selling points, and there is such an interest being taken in the work that some of the agents have sent in a second order for more. The printers have had orders for fifty million of the stamps, and the probabilities are that before the holidays are oyer there will be between sixty and seventy mil lion of the Red Cross stamps disposed of throughout the country. The govern ment has granted the society permission to have agents in the corridors of the post office buildings and this will add much to the success of the undertaking.
 As has been done in the past, the pro- ceeds will go toward the fund used to the American white plague, which has destroyed so many lives. The charter of the American Red Cross (ap- proved January 5, 1905 says that it shall "continue to carry on a system of na- tlonal and international relief in time of peace, and apply the same Tn mitigating the sufferlngs caused by pestilence, fam inc, floods, fire, ," etc, and ito devise and carry on measures for preventing the same" Under this clause of the char ter the Red Cross is now acting. There will be but a small cost in putting out the stamps, and as the newspapers will help out considerably in pushing the good cause along, there is no reason why there should not be a record breaking sale of stamps and this will mean many lives saved from the plague.
