DROUGHT IN PALOLO

A distressing and peculiar situation
has developed in Palolo Valley, which
was called to the attention of Deputy
Attorney General Lorrin Andrews this
morning. The original pilikia was
started through the breaking of re-
servoir belonging to A. f. Cooke, ac-
cording to the complainants, through
which considerable damage was done
to land below The water, as it rush
ed down, tore out new channels and
was considerably diverted from its old
course. Pa
AS the result of this flooding suit
for $1,000 damages has been brought
case being McMasters VS.. the Palolo
Improvement Company. The plaintiff
in order that he may have the strong
est of evidence to place before the
court when the trial comes, has not
changed back the water to it's original
course, which has caused droughts in
the lands through which the water
formerly flowed. Now they have found
themselves in such a serious cond1-
ton that they have called on the at
torneygeneral's department for relief,
though just what assistance can be
given them is hard to say. The Dep
uty Attorney General explains the sit
uation as being similar to Chinaman
who has been assaulted and who keeps
the blood stains on his face for days
till the trial of his assailant takes
place.

ham. And" remarked Mr.. wheeler,

: This latter remark was inspired by
the fact that the investigating gentle
men had not landed an hour before
some anxious individual had sought
them out for advice.
Said Senator Dillingham;: The va

to Hawaii, but the prime object OF the

FOR all
HAWAII

The Hon. Richard Bartholdt this
afternoon delivered a speech at the
Commercial Clubs luncheon to the
visiting Congressman which evoked
loud and continuous applause. He
declared it cause for mutual congra-
tulation that these pearls of the Pa
cifc had been added to Columbia's
diadem The Congressional party, he
said, was here to learn and all Ha-
waii was to be considered He had
been told that he would be wined and
dined by the planters, but the Con-
gressmen were here to get better ac-
quanted with the whole Territory and
so be the better prepared to stand by
the interests of the islands and OF the
nation in the discharge of their du-
ties as Congressman.
Lorrin A. Thurston made a strong
talk lor a temporary suspension of the
coastwise shipping laws as applying
to Hawaii, showing how Hawaii SUI
fers for lack of passenger transporta-
ton facilities between here and the
mainland coast.

Harbor in about four months.
"A large part of the material will
arrive by the Oregonian in few days
and the rest will come quickly. We
have not purchased additional cars as

ment till the line is running in good
shape While in the East | also

per cent higher power than the old
ones. also got transformers to

FRANK B. HOWE, Editor and Pablishsr

Advance sheets of the 82nd Vermont
report have been sent out. These adj
vance sheets cover thirteen cases
heard by the supreme court and the
striking thing about 1t is that in ten
of these cases tae decision of the low
er court is reversed and the cases sent
back for retrial, while in only three
cases are the findings of the county
courts affirmed. Isn't this rather
sharp commentary on the superior judi
ges who preside in the county courts?
II they are wrong in rs per cent OF the
cases that go up to the higher court
the finality of county court verdicts
will be more questioned than ever. A
study of the supreme court reports for
the past two years also shows that
this court is not overworked. The SUI
preme court is now composed OF five
| Judges who are paid $4,000 per year
each. We do not object to the rate
per year as Judge of the higher court
should be paid enough to attract the
! best lawyers to the bench but three
Judges can do the little work of the
Vermont supreme court just as well
as five and the additional judges are
an expensive luxury that the state
pays for without adequate return.

ARMY WIRELESS PHONE TESTS
Stations to be Erected In Washington
and ae Fort Meyer

Extensive experiments are to be
made by che United States army this
summer with wireless telephony. es-
pecially with a view to the utilization
of the newest means of communication
in time of war. The signal corps will
have the tests In charge and they are
to be conducted under the most trying
conditions. II is believed the results
will prove that wireless telephony can
be made a valuable adjunct to the
wireless telegraph, although 1t is not
believed that its field OF usefulness
will ever be as great.
The war department decided upon
demonstrating the value of the wire
less telephone in the face OF the dec
laration of the navy department that
the system was of no practical worth.
The battleship feet in it's trip around
the world was equipped with wireless
telephones, and 1t was expected that
they would supersede the telegraph
and the flag signals In conveying or
ders from the flagship to the other
vessels.
1t was discovered, however, that the
waves from the wireless telegraph In.
struments. together with the interior
ence OF vagrant waves, rendered the
telephone almost valueless. The re-
suits OF the experiment were so disap
pointing that the navy department or
dered the apparatus removed and prac
tically all the battleships were strip
ped OF Ii. This failure was great
disappointment to the navy.
The signal corps. however, is con
WINGED that the fault lay In the system
employed. The fact that the French
navy is employing wireless telephon,
and has maintained conversation.
between warships 100 miles apar
strengthens the conviction that thi,
work is In its infancy.
| In preparation for its tests the sis
nal corps is erecting a specially con
structed mast on the roof of the Mill
building which is an adjunct to tn,
navy and war departments. Another
OF similar character will be erected a
Fort Meyer and the experiments will
be conducted primarily, between thes,
points, a distance OF approximate,
nve miles. The country over which
the waves will be sent is of a mos
difficult nature.
AS soon as the tests are satisfaction,
over the five mile course, the appara
tus will be taken further and furtbe
out until the limit of communication
Is reached. This will be accomplish
ed by means of a portable wireless,
mast and paraphemalia.

1t is announced that the Montpelier
Journal is to change from an evening
to morning paper with Frank T. Par
sons, for the past five years business
manager of the Rutland Herald, in
charge and with Walter H. Crockett,
for ten years, associate editor OF the
st. Adams Messenger, as editor There
is at present no morning paper in the
entire eastern half of Vermont and
there is population of fully 100000
that can be reached by a Montpelier
morning paper several hours before
they can get any other paper. 1t
makes q magnificent field and the
Journal as a morning paper should be
a success from the start II the paper
is made good enough to warrant sup
port. Parsons and Crockett are a
team that can do it if the hackers of
the enterprise are willing to put up the
money to equip the plant properly and
put 1t on it's feet. 1t will take not less
than twenty-five thousand dollars to
do it but it should pay as the Journal
will have no competition in the morn
ing field while with two other splendid
evening papers in the field the Jour
nal has had hard shedding as an even
ing paper. The Banner believes that
the owners of the Journal are making
wise move and one that will spell
success if the enterprise is properly
organized and instituted.
