societies have practically the same
method of looking out for members and
their families. Although the majority
Of Portuguese receive small incomes,
yet their frugal manner of living,
gives them opportunities TO associate
themselves with the societies. When

Imminent danger every minute. about
five miles out, and went after H.. lie
lowed the Rainbow into the harbor
safely, though the task was a hard
one on account Of the gale which was
blowing and the heavy seas outside.
On fishing expedition, the two ma
tives started with the Rainbow for No.
lokai yesterday morning leaving the
Alakea street wharf shortly after day
break. Everything went all right for
the voysgers until about $ clock,
when, of Makapuu Point the gasoline
engine gave few sputters and finally
refused to work. Ii was in a bad
condition, and although the Hawaiian
engineer worked over the mechanism
for several hours all efforts to put it
into running order again proved of no
avail.
Sails were then hoisted on the little
boat and an attempt was made to beat
back TO Honolulu harbor. What with
the heavy seas and the terrific wind
which was blowing, it was utterly inn
possible for the men to bring their
craft in toward shore, and the greater
part of the day il wallowed in the
trough of the waves, steadily drifting
out. Suddenly, however, Providence,
in the shape of viii Young and the
Waterwitch, put in an appearance and
signals of distress were flown. Young
answered them, and soon had the Rain
bow in tow.
When brought into safety last night,
the Hawaiians treated the matter
rather jokingly. The skipper can not
speak much English, but he caught:
the meaning of q question put to him
by reporter, in which the word Cpl
likia" occurred.
"Ae; pilikia,'' he grinned.
The engineer of the Rainbow was
perfectly willing to talk, however, and
said, in a matter-of-fact manner:
~ think pretty soon we have to
swim. The water looked too cold but
if that other boat not come pretty
soon, we jump overheard and swim in
TO shore
How about sharks7'' was asked.
"Oh, no pilika! Shark just take
one look when you move all the time,
but he no bother. Suppose you stop,
you get tired, maybe, then he grab
you here pointing to his foot.
''You were about five miles from
, shore and the water was roughf"
eyes; but that make no difference.
We swim all day and not get tired.
Suppose that launch not come pretty
soon, we sure jump in and swim to
the shore
The Rainbow was low in the water
when she was picked up by the Water
witch, and could not have lasted much
I longer. The Hawaiians said last night
that they were not going to make an
other start for Molokai in the little
launch until they were sure that the
J engine would work all right.

1t all depends on whose rock has
been used during the past two years
from the Moiliili quarry. The County
of Oahu on May /, 1907. took lease
for "a number Of years Of three or four
acres of property at Moliili from the

cola street was moved Mt considerable
expense, and the road department plan
ned TO make this quarry the principal
source of its road material. And so il
has. Only 1t forgot to quarry the rock
on its own land, and, instead, has been
quarrying 1t principally ON the adioin-
ing land which belongs to the Clarissa
Cummings estate, which is represented
by j. Alfred Magoon.
When the lease to the county was
executed the land leased was marked off
on the ground, so that there could be
no mistake, but the quarrying is said to
have been done principally on the
wrong side of the line, and now suit
for damages is threatened.
John ii. Wilson, the new road super
visor, made a discovery the other day
while at the quarry, which aroused his
suspicious that the quarrying was not
being done where it ought TO be and he
at once began making inquiries. The
original lease was looked up and then
City and County Engineer Gere was
asked TO make survey to see whether
the City and County was trespassing
on somebody else's land or not, with
the result that it is pretty certain that
it has been.
Talk of damages to the extent of
$30, 900 or $40, 900 has been heard about,
but it is not at all probable that dam
ages to anything like this amount have
been inflicted. And even if damages
have been inflicted, it is probable that
the bonds given by Johnson and by
Cummins will cover the loss, as it seems
to have been under their directions that
the quarrying was done where it was,
instead of where it ought to have been.

During the month of February, the
figures show there was a net excess of
"a who returned from the mainland to
Japan, and an excess of 80 who return

WINE DEALERS MAY
HURT THE MOORE BILL

War to the knife may be declared
between the liquor ring and the deal
ers in wines, commonly known as the
California product, over the PROPOSE
ton to kill off "dago red," and if
the determination is persisted in to
eliminate the red wine from general
sale in the Territory, certain of the
dealers will muster sufficient backing
to mutilate the Moore whisky ring
measure, until it is laid away in the
grave where it belongs.
1t is said that the brewery is back
ing the proposition to prevent the sale
of "dago red the presumption be-
ing that if the "red' is eliminated
there will be greater sales of the brew
cry output. 1t is likely that the local
agents of California products may ac-
quaint their mainland suppliers with
the information of the "whisky inter
ests,' and there is a thought expressed
that some back water may make it I'M
pleasant for the regular liquor dealers.
This is a case where some dealers in
light wines feel that the whisky
ring is treading on its toes. Should
dissension follow, it is believed that
the Moore bill will suffer.
