Mcclellan Hopes to Take Motor
Cars on Trip to
Hawaii.

Visiting members of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee of Congress are
probably to have ocular evidence of
the Importance of the Hilo breakwater.
Secretary Mcclellan is trying to make
arrangements for the landing of auto
mobiles at Kawaihae, and if his efforts
are successful, machines viii be taken
along to show the visitors over that
part of Hawaii which depends upon
Hilo as an outlet for its produce.
The plan is to take two motor cars
along. In these, the six members of
the Rivers and Harbors Committee will
be carried from Kawaihae, across the
Waimea plains, through Hamakua to
Hilo. Thus the Congressman will have
chance to observe the vast undevelop-
ed country on the Island of Hawaii,
which viii be made accessible to mar
kets through the construction of the
Hiio breakwater and the Hamakua ex-
tension of the Hilo railway
There are vast tracts of land on the
Waimea plains which have been allowed
to lie idle owing to the fact that no
adequate facilities existed for getting
produce raised in the district into the
markets of the world. With the Hilo

same opportunities to present our case

the Delegate had he remained in Wash
ington.'
Asked by the Advertiser as to wheth-
er Delegate Kalanianaole would run
for Congress next year, Mr.. Mcclellan
replied emphatically, 81 certainly hope
he will, and I believe that the best
interests of the Territory require that
Prince Kuhio should be reelected
"What are my reasons for that 2
Well, the chief reason is the splendid
success of the Delegate in securing
legislation for Hawaii.
GAS long as plantation manager
turns out big yields and pays good
dividends, the long headed stakeholder
doesn It want any change made. The
Delegate has a wide acquaintance in
Washington now, is well liked in Con-
gress, and consequently is in the best
position to represent the Territory as
delegate, and secure practical results
in the way of needed legislation.
"Hawaii will have SO much at stake
at Washington for the next few years
that it is doubly important that the
Delegate be persuaded to continue in
his place as Territorial representative. -

LORR|N ANDREWS
DIGS 4 DITCH
And He Now Has a Great I'm
dying Regard for All
Office Boys.

But for the timely arrival Of an
Office boy, things might have gone
badly with Deputy Attorney General
Lorrin Andrews in Palolo valley yes
terday morning. As it was, Andrews
came out of the pilikia with flying
colors, but the messenger boy rode
home in state in Andrews motor car.
1t all came about over question OF
water rights. Andrews went UP the
valley in response to the complaints of
a number of Hawai5ans, who said chat
native woman was shutting off the
water from their poi patches. 1t
seems that some time ago a reservoir
of the PaIolo Land G. Improvement
Company burst, and let small flood
loose into the neighhoring kuleanas.
One native woman, whose bitches
were torn up by the rush of water,
brought suit against the company.
Pending the settlement of the suit,
her attorney directed her to see that
the bitches remained as the water left
them. She was to allow no one to
interfere with them.
But they were so wrecked that they
acted as dam. and the kuleanas
lower down the valley found their wa
ter supply cut off. They begged the
woman to let little water through,
but she said nay.
Then the Attorney General was ap-
pealed to. and Andrews, armed with a
pick and shovel, was sent to the
scene of the trouble. He placed the
tools in the hands Of man and di-
rected him to clear away the debris.
The woman plaintiff descended upon
them, showed the digger back into the
wafer and announced that no one
should touch those bitches without the
permission of her attorney, Mr.. Kinney.
In vain Andrews argued with her;
there was nothing doing. He tried to
explain that he was the Attorney GEN
eral and that she was opposing the Ter
ritory in opposing him. 1t was use-
less; ATTORNEY Kinney had said to
leave those bitches alone and she was
going to see that they were left.
Andrews took a shovel and started
for the ditch but the determined look

CONGRESSMAN IN
AND OUT TODAY
Return From Kauai and Sail
Again for The Island OF
Hawaii.

After having seen and enjoyed the
best of all that the Garden Island has
to offer, the Congressman and their
wives and daughters who left on the
Mauna Kea for Kauai last Sunday
night will return to Honolulu early this
morning. Their stay here, however,
win be but brief one, as they are to
leave again on the Mauna Kea for Ha-
wall at noon, to be gone a week.
Fourteen members of the Congress
sionl party did not make the Kauai
trip. evidently thinking that it wouid
be too strenuous a performance for
them to go to that island and then,
so soon after their return, set sail for
Hawaii and Maui. In all probability,
however, none of them will miss the
southern trip, TO which all are looking
forward with eager anticipation.
The steamer will leave Honolulu at
noon today and go directly to MANU-
kona, which will be reached about mid
night. Here those of the party who
desire to make the trip overland
through Kohala and Hamakua to
Hilo will he landed, and the steamer
will then proceed with the rest of the
party around TO Kona, where the re-
naming portion of the party will be
landed at Napoopoo. From Napoopoo
they viii journey overland to Kailua,
the trip taking them through the most
interesting portion of that side of the
island. A Kailua. after breakfast,
they viii be picked up by the steamer
and taken on to Hiio. They will re-
main at Hiio over night, going up to
the volcano the next morning.
The overland party will arrive in
Hilo that afternoon and< the plan is
to take them up to the volcano the
same night. From the volcano the
party will return to Hiio and will be
shown about the city and its vicinity,
and Saturday night viii again take
the Mauna Kea for Maui. Those of
them who feel equal to such siren
uous trip will be landed at Hama ana
will go by automobile and horseback to
Makawao in one day. The next morn
ing those who are able will make the
ascent of Haleakaia. Monday night
the entire party win be picked up at

principals in a way; there were
men who believed in the splendid

him to be the one fit man for the
presidency, but the scare that
hard times would follow Bryan's
election and that it might affect

boozled into believing the fake

was responsible for good crops

his patriotic inclinations to con-.

along the line. The word "sel

GOOD IN THE MOTOR BOAT.

Introduction of motor boats into
the fishing industry is held to be re-
sponsible for the steady increase in
that industry in Norway. These
boats make it possible for the fisher
men to make a much larger catch
and also furnish better protection
in rough weather and are more safe
than the old boats driven by sails.
