will give access to between 1000 and

the land. which has been for the most

GOOD FOR

COMBINATION CiF SAN FRANCISCO
BRIDGE COMPANY AND DILLING-
HAMS.

The award of the contract for the
building of the new dry dock at Pearl
Harbor to the San Francisco Bridge
Company has been source of comfort
TO those interested in the Oahu rail-
road. The Rapid Transit Company
has been preparing to extend its line
to Pearl Harbor with the object OF
carrying freight for the building of
the Naval Station but through the fact
that the Bridge Company has obtained
the contract, the Oahu railroad seems
to have obtained first lien on the
work.
The San Francisco Bridge Company
is locally represented by the Hawaiian
Dredging Company in which the Dill
ingham interests hold contol. AS they
are also concerned deeply in the Oahu
Railroad it seems likely that the work
will be throWn toward the Oahu rail-
road rather than to their competitors.
Naturally the two concerns will work
for each others interest.
The building of the pipe line for a
fresh water supply from Moanalua to
the dredging camp will make great
saving for the San Francisco Bridge
Company in its work. The use OF
sweet waite ris required by the govern
ment and in order to obtain a full sup
ply they will have TO run pipe but
thousand feet or so to tap the four inch
main which the dredging company has
already installed. The water from
Moanalua is said to be of as fine quail
ity as can be found on the island, con
tanning a very small percentage of salt
in comparison to that found in the
vicinity of Pearl Harbor,

SILVA IS
DOOMED
INCOMPETENT CHAUFFEUR ADDS
ANOTHER TO LONG STRING OF
AUTO ACCIDENTS.

Manuel Silva last night added an
other ineXcusable accident to his long
list of mishaps as an alleged chauffeur
aud the police are beginning to awake
TO the tact that it is about time he was
dealt with before he gives some man,
woman or child through bill-of-lading
to kingdom-come.
One of Manners favorite tricks is to
expect buggy to get out of the way
of his machine and, should said buggy
neglect so to do, not knowing of his
soft-tired approach, there is nothing
doing but that the buggy's passengers
must go up in the air and land on the
inhospitable pave.
Last night he charged, full speed,
into the back of a buggy in which were
j. A. r. Vieira, Mrs. Vincent Fernan-
dez who is his sister and his little
child. Buggy was wrecked and horse
knocked down, the woman and child
being terribly upset literally and ner-
vously. The criminal negligence oc-
Cured on the Waikiki road, the town
side of the Waikiki Seaside hotel Pas
sengers on "a street car saw the smash
and went to the assistance of the oc.
cupants of the buggy who miraculous
! ly, were not injured. All who saw the
occurrence are sure there was no eX-
cuse on the part of Silva other than
the worst kind of negligence. There
has been no apparent excuse for any
of his accidents, they have all appear
ed to be the direct result of sheer stu
pidity or incompetence, or cruel indif-
ference.
The police intend to make it hot for
him and the idea is to get him off the
road. If there is no watchful provi-
sion for taking away chauffeur
license when he is plainly incapable,
the police will, find some other way of
protecting the lives of people on the
road. For some days an investigation
has Deen going on which will probably
result in certain charges against Silva
in connection with his driving an auto
charges of not a pleasant nature.
Another Silva, Joe, had an accident
with his machine, through carelessness.
He used lighted match to hunt for
something wrong about the gasoline
tank There was an explosion and
fire. Of course the fire department
was called out, as is usually done
when an auto gets fire and there is not
the slightest chance of saving it. Joe
received some burns as a souvenir OF
the occasion.
While the epidemic of auto accidents
endures, it is now reported that the
automobile, driven by Harold Castle
which smashed into a Fort street car
on Thursday night. was going at
very nigh rate of speed Sam Walker,
as the car was dashing along Queen
street toward Fort, saw the reflected
lights of the approaching car and call
ed to the driver to slow down, Tor
, Gods sake"

MAKING MOUNTAIN OUT OF A
MOLEHILL.D

For the past two or three weeks the
people of three states have been work
ing themselves up into a frenzy of ex-
element over the fact that an Ameri
can gifl was about to wed a Jap. Now
that the marriage has been consum
mated, no doubt the incident will he
lost sight of until the bride applies
for her divorce.
Since the days of King Solomon it
has been generally conceded that the
vagaries of femininity are beyond the
comprehension Of the sterner sex. Miss
Emery evidently recognized in her
fathers house servant her manly ideal
and, as usual in such cases, the public
disapproval of her choice only ~increas-
ed her determination to have her own
way.
However, it is a question in which
the people at large have no legitimate
interest, as there are no questions of
morals or of a public nature involved.
The young lady has made her choice
and must abide the consequences.

ports from Bishop, Inyo county. Cali
%fornia, indicate that porcupines are ser-
iously damaging the ~lodge-pole pine
forests of the eastern slope of the
Sierras. Practically the entire area of
the Inyo National forest has been af-
fected to some extent. In many local
tiles the damaged trees aggregate as
high as 25 per cent of the total stand.
While these areas are not large, it is
evident that if something is not done
to curb the attack, much of the timber
in that section will be killed.
The porcupine feeds to a large ex.
tent during the winter months upon the
inner bark of the pine. To secure this
he travels about upon the snow, and
completely girdles the trees just above
the snow line. OF course, this results
in the death of the tree. The damage
would not be so serious but for the fact
that the %porcupine seldom makes two
meals off of the same tree, but prefers
