People Look to President
To Execute Great Task

/ throughout the course of the Missis
sippi
I'VE wish to go further than this i'm
provement, revetment and contrac
ton, and to see some broad general
plan adopted, which shall cover the
whole control Of the water in the
river, shall lessen the floods, and give
us a more general flow at low wattr,
and at the same time restrict the chan
mel We believe that this work must
be carried on not piecemeal by local
divisions, and subject to occasional
appropriations by Congress, as has
been done in the past; nor do we be-
lieve that this work should longer be
subject to the annual arguments and
Vaccinations of Rivers and Harbors
Committee
Mr. Kayanagh said. Engineers
have surveyed the route and have de-
clared deep waterway feasible and
easy of accomplishment The best
civil engineers have declared it in
evitable." he said Chicago has spent
$50 100000 cutting the channel thro-
ugh the rocky divide and Illinois is
spending $2O,OOO.OOO to step it by
locks down to the soft bottom portion
of the Illinois river" the speaker de-
clared. From there to the Gulf the
way is clear and the plans are ready"
Mr. Kavanagh said; The people
will no longer tolerate the pork bar
rel method Of compelling government
engineers to allot funds for river i'm
provements, according to congression-
al districts, nor will they allow the de-
velopement Of the greatest of their
highways to depend upon uncertain
appropriations"
The speaker said that when Con
gress conyenes this winter. it will have
to consider seriously for the first time
the great problem of water, which
President Roosevelt forsaw, and of
other things, the establishment of
some big central bureau. probably a
department Of Public Works, to under
take the central control Of our run
ming water
But" said he, the deep waterway
must not wait for this. In floods and
in low water fourteenfoot channel
can be easily maintained"
Mr. Kavanagh quoted President
Taft as having said that in order to
solve the transportation problem we
must have recourse to our waterways.
and continued THE problems Of
transportation multiply with the in
crease Of prosperity. and the presi-
dent Of the nation who is so certain
that waterways are the solution Of the
trouble is the very one who is most
determined to lead us on to the great
est increase of prosperity. Prosperity
demands guarantee OF this that
whatever turn the general plans for
the conservation may take, the pro-
ject for the l4-foot Lakes-to-Gulf Deep
Waterway shall be adopted and push
ed on to completion.
Although in a recent report which
established the feasibility and eff
cheney of the work from a commercial
point Of view. the Army Engineers
attempted to deride its commercial
value. the presence Of the chief exec
utive and representative of60.O0OO00
people here is evidence that the peo-
pie believe that the project is worthy
the money, no matter what the cost
and resubmit the cost is reasonable.
They believe. as President Taft be.

SURE kELA" STARTED
4 VICTORIA AUDIENCE

Editor Advertiser: The people of
Victoria have during the past week
been charmed by the Hawaiian music
and singing SO ably rendered by the
Ellis club. At one performance which
attended an old Honolulan who was
in attendance became So excited that,
reaching forward, he put his hand to
his mouth and yelled at the top of
his voice, much to the surprise and, I
might say, bewilderment, of the audi
ence: "Aloha, aloha, nui loa maikai
kela himeni''; and during the singing
of "Tomi, Toni ~ the same gentleman,
evidently forgetting he was in thea
ter in Victoria and not out at Wal
kiki Beach, again shouted Justify.
''Sure kela' Mr.. Ellis stepped to the
front of the stage and bid the kama
alma from Hawaii aloha. He explain
ed to the audience that when Hawai-
ian meets Hawaiian it is as when
brother meets brother, as, irrespective
of color or nationality, one who has
lived in Hawaii is to the Hawaiian a
fellow countryman.
There are seven boys in this troupe,
and all are well and happy. On Sat
urday they returned to Seattle, where
they had been playing for some few
months previous to going out upon the
six months tour of the Pacific Coast
variety houses. The people of Seattle
are waiting for them with open hearts
and hands, as the beautiful songs of
Hawaii have gained warm friends
wherever they have been sung.
During the past week Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis were entertained at dinner by
Mr.. George Scott of Honolulu, who, it
will be remembered. is blacksmith on
board the cable ship Restorer. On
board this beautifully -ftted vessel they
expressed themselves charmed with
everything and at every corner they
were surprised by meeting some old
friend. Passing huge ventilator, out
popped Willie Wright; and going
through one of the corridors of the
| lower deck the huge bulk of Willie
Ellis encountered that of another NOR
! tai less feshy than himself When
| asked in clear voice, ''Hele oe ma
| heap little Willie was amazed. How
| ever, he didn t wop3er long, when he
recognized Harry Turner, who, by the
way, once won prize for native sing
ing, being accompanied by we'll
known Honolulu lady at that time.
Harry was at Engleside and will be
known to those who stayed there when
the establishment was first started
under Mrs. Brown.
All the boys on the Restorer, from
the highest in rank down to the hum
blest, were glad to see familiar faces
from "dear old Honolulu and gave
special instructions for alohas to be
sent to all friends.
Will Ellis said he had some PROPOSE
ton, to make the Promotion Commit
tee, but what it is | am unable tt
state. One thing is sure, however; the
Promotion Committee could certainly
do some fine work in conjunction will
Mr. Ellis, as every second man YOU
meet in Victoria asks, "Have you
heard the Hawaiian singers? Yes
Aren't they fine? But, say, where OF
earth do they come from?''
Mr.. George Scott is returning to Ho
nolulu in January.
