War Motor Boats Coming.
Motor boats for the use of the Coast
Artillery Corps in planting submarine
mine junction boxes in connection with
terrifying harbors and rivers about the
island of Oahu, and in the Philippines,
which were ordered recently by the War
Department from the Electric Launch
| Company at Bayonne, n. j., have been
delivered to the government, and Ha-
wall s quota may be expected shortly,
as submarine mines have been forward
| ed here.
The company was awarded this con,
tract about July last, and has de-
livered the boats at the rate of one
week. The launches are 30 feet long
/ feet and feet beam aud feet
| draught The bulls are substantially
constructed the frames being of oak
and the planking of heavy cedar, with
copper fastenings throughout. Two
cockpits are provided, and divided with
! two water-tight steel bulkheads.
| Through the center deck between the
cockpits is stepped substantial der,
rick mast, upon which is winch. In
connection with this, sheer legs of gall
vanized iron / beam sections are lecat-
| ed on the after deck, the end project
| ing over the stern of the boat, and
| with sheave at the outer end. This
apparatus permits of the hosting and
| lowering over the stern of the boat of
| the heavy junction boxes, the maximum
weight of the box and connecting cables
being 5000 pounds. The after cockpit is
provided with working table sheathed
with galvanized steel, on which the
/. junction box will rest when being work
ed upon by men in the boat. fhe for

company of twelve or fifteen men.
The boat is covered with canvas hoods.
The power equipment consists of a
twelve horsepower two-cylinder Stand
ard marine engine located in the after
cockpit, with engine control placed
alongside of the steering wheel in the
forward cockpit, thus enabling one man
to steer the boat and handle the engine.
A heavy copper gasolene tank holding
fifty gallons is installed in copper
lined compartment under the forward
deck. the deck being made portable for
easy inspection of the compartment and
tank. The boats develop speed of
eight and half miles an hour, and in
the official trials which have been CIV
en-, proved to have large carrying capa-
city, unusual buoyancy and the best Of
seaworthy qualities.

An unofficial statement gives credenee
TO the belief that about 400 marines
will be sent down to Honolulu from
Mare Island in March, the U. S. S.
Baffalo repeating her trip as trans
port Tt is also stated that small de-
fachments will be sent here from time
to time until the entire force at Camp
Very numbers about 1000 men. This
will make very conspicuous force and
will also result in a colonel of marines
and staff being sent here to command:
At present Camp Very has battalion
of marines commanded by major.
Marines who have been in offices of
the department on the mainland before
being sent here assert that orders, if
not already issued, are in the making
to send four battleships of the newer
class around the Horn for permanent
station in the Pacific, and these are to
be stationed here.

Its success is not imperiled by the
hazards attaching to most other enter

which does not need to chase a market

I'M Inc just a short distance west
EE of us is the tIdaho-Mary
land, y where they have struck
wonderfully rich ore of late. They
have been taking out fortunes all the
way down, for that matter, but in their
deeper levels they have run into real
bonanza stuff. 1t is estimated that
this mine, of whose milling plant the
accompanying photograph is view,
has produced upwards of $4,000, 10000
in gold bullion. The "Idaho- Mary
land'' is located on the same contact
formation as our property and is one
of the oldest mines in the district,
Just as the "Mayfower is one of
the youngest, with all the glory Of a
great future ahead of it. Yes, when
the~Mine is right, and the Men con-
neeted with it are also right, there is
no investment under the sun which is
so sure and profitable as gold mining.
A few dollars invested in a good gold
foundry may produce thousands, and
start poor man on the route to
riches, and all the money lost in a
lifetime may be recouped by just ONE
such investment. And gold mining,
conducted on modern scientific prinei-
pies, is not the speculative industry it
is so often imagined to be by many
people, It's a safer business than

EVENTS Of INTEREST
On MAUI LAST WEEK

Maui News. rains this week
have laid the dust and put the roads
of central Maui in fine condition.
The bell tower of Hale Aloha. La
haina, is nearly completed under the
direction of Rev. D. w. K. White. Mr..
White designed the plan of the tower,
which is one of the handsomest on
Maui. It is built on the Olowalu-
mauka end of the building, and can
be seen from above the trees from
many parts of Lahaina. The large bell
which the tower supports has clear
tone and can be heard long dis
lance. The lower part of the tower
is fitted up with rooms for dishes and
an equipment for the parish needs of
the Wainee church. 1t is hoped that
the hall can soon be equipped with a
better lighting plant.
The engagement was announced a
few days ago in Lahaina of Mr.. K. J.
Zelwitz, aimekeeper of the Pioneer
Mill Company, and Miss Weinzheimer,
the sister of Manager L. Weinzhemer
of Lahaina. The popular couple have
been the recipients of many hearty
congratulations and expressions of
best wishes from their many friends.
By the recent death of his father, Mr..
Zedwitz has entered into the possession
of the titles and large estates of his
family in Germany.
At a meeting of local japanese Sat-
urday evening, Nakamura took excep,

him. He was overpowered by a mum

cording to the information I have,
however, I do not propose to vote for
any measure which | have not care
fully scrutinized and found satisfae-
tory.
''Our present land laws are good
with certain exceptions. The Govern
or and the land commissioner, under
them, have too much power, and that
power should be curtailed. I do not
believe in land exchanges, nor in the
sale Of public lands at auction.
also, when any person makes any
improvements on any lands he may
purchase from the government, and
fails to comply with the covenants,
conditions and terms of agreement,
such land and Improvements should
be appraised and put up for sale under
the lottery system now in use in the
States-that is by drawing lots, the
same as if the land were for original
entry, and the value of the improve
ments as appraised should be paid over
to the man making them.

chilIingworth Picks Flaws.

Senator Charlie Chillingworth picks
two flaws in the conference measure.
He is decidedly opposed to Section g.,
which provides for the abolition of the
office of high sheriff. and also be
lieves that the bill should provide that
when a man has taken up government
land and made improvements on it and
is then obliged to give up the land,
he should be paid the value of the i'm
provements.
"I'm not going to stand for that
Section knocking out the high sher
if, said Chillingworth yesterday. II
don t think it's right; we need that
office. Things are not the same here
as they are in the States, where there
are both sheriffs and chiefs of police.
We need the high sheriff and his depu
ties to serve papers in civil cases. AS
it is now, High Sheriff Henry has COM
missioned all the sheriffs and deputy
sheriffs of the several counties, deputy
high sheriffs, so that they can serve
papers. 1t would be an outrage to
knock out the office of high sheriff, and
l am going to fight any such PROPOSE
ton.

Kamahu Is Waiting,

Representative Dan Kamahu, one OF
the Democratic stalwarts, is in doubt.
He says that he doesn' t know yet just
how he is going to stand on anything.
When asked last night what he thought
of the alleged Democratic bill, he mere
ly smiled blandly and remarked that
he didn t know.
Kamahu takes the same stand in re-
gard to annual sessions-that is, he
takes no stand. He says he is not
ready to express any opinion yet. It
is probable that after the Democratic
caucus tonight, he may be able to make
up his mind, but at present he Is open
to convietion-at least, such may be

Salaries Should Be Raised.

Salaries Should Be Raised.
''Wish regard to the other proposed
amendments, I can say that [ believe
that the provision for the raising of
The Governor salary from $4,000 to
$4,000 year is a just one. The posi-
ion of the Territory of Hawaii is diff
ferent from that of any other State or
Territory, and the Governor is called
upon to entertain numbers of noted
persons, and, while it is true that he
is allowed fund for this purpose, he
has, nevertheless, to dig down into his
own pocket in order to maintain the
dignity of his office. The raises of sal
aries of other officials, I think, are also
quite proper. I believe that the raising
of the pay of the legislators from $500
to 5000 is fair. While no one should
run for the office for the pay which
there is in it, the legislators should be
paid sufficiently, and this will also make
them more Independent. I feel sure
that at the last session there was not a
single member who made his expenses.
Best Let Alone.
"I dom think much of the section
providing for the ratification of nat

been decided by the courts, and it

Pay for Improvements.

am fairly well satisfied with them, ex-
cept in one particular; think that
there should be provision for paying
a homesteader for his improvements

to keep up his payments, he is obliged
to- give up his land. 1t does not seem
light to me to take away his land and
improvements and pay him nothing for

A STOUT THING

Miss Burden was not devoid of good sense, but she had brooded over her neighbours treatment of her until it seemed both ntolerable and lawess It involved question of shares in the privileges of certain spring of water and of rights in certain path, and disagreement these had led to other differences, small and large until the main issue seemed hopelessly confused.
 Finally Miss Burden resolved to consult a law yer to ascertain if there might not be comforting relief for her feelings in lawsuit When wom- ans exasperation reaches the point where she is ready to resort to the law, she is to be dreaded and Miss Burden went to Lawyer Farman's office with long and spirited story of her wrongs.
 Unfortunately for her plan, these wrongs were rather of word than of deed, and rather of fancy than Of record. What the neighbor wanted to do and talked about doing, and even what he meant to do at some future time did not greatly impress MT. Fairman. He gently suggested to the angry client that her mood was unjustiied by what had actually happened and concluded his advice with some words which she never forgot.
 Don't go to law, my dear lady, until you have some facts to take with you Law by itself is poor friend; but facts stout thing-a facts a stout thing!"
 The country lawyers wisdom is sound philoso. phy for every day in the year. Fancy gives birth to long train of children, good and bad and they all have legs and arms of characteristic slender ness and grasp on life too gentle to be control ling. Set them in line of battle and Master Fact will scatter them all like dry leaves-for in deed and in truth fact is a stout thing!-Youth's Con- panion.

SOME HARD KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the heart of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caf- feine. This is the drug found by chem ists in coffee and tea.
 A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally her doctor told her she must give up cof- fee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes:
 My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly. My husband would sometimes have to carry me from the table, and it would seem that would never breathe again.
 "The doctor told me that coffee was causing the weakness of my heart He said I must stop it, but it seemed I could not give it up until was down in bed with nervous prostration.
 For eleven weeks I lay there and suffered. Finally Husband brought home some Postum and I quit coffee and started new and right. Slowly I got well. Now do not have any head aches. nor those spells with weak heart. We know it is Postum that helped me. The Dr. said the other day. I never thought you would be what you are.' used to weigh 92 pounds and now weigh 15S.
 "Postum has done much for me and would not go back to coffee again for any money, for I believe it would kill me if I kept at it. Postum must be well boiled according to directions on pkg, then 1t has a rich favour and with cream is fne.''

Mistake Somewhere.

A story comes from a Kentucky town that is worth repeating. There lives there woman who says that she has immediate communion with the Almighty, and now and then de- livers to those of common clay mes- sage that she has received from on high. The fact that these messages sometimes take on a very materials tic hue does not alter their effective ness, in her opinion.
 One day she went into the office of a we'll known attorney and approached him solemnly as one about to reveal an awe-inspiring secret.
 "The Lord sent me to you for $25," she announced.
 The attorney looked up and smiled.
 That must be mistake" he re- piled, blandly, because the Lord knows have not got it."
 Celestial communication was there upon broken off.

 'Oh, you won't" laughed the spouse. My hat is the white beaver trimmed with orchids. You can remember that"
 Gamely he went to his doom. En- tering the millinery shop, he asked, valiantly: Is my wife's hat ready? I mean the white Differ, trimmed with oh-you-kids?"
 And the French girls in the shop made funny Parisian giggles at him.

She has reformed more than 100 boys in her term of five years as superintendent. Some of her boys are in the navy some on farms.
