Within a few days the annual meet
ing of the Wireless Telegraph Com
pany is to be held in this city. Presi-
dent Clinton j. Hutchins will preside
and most interesting report will be
made by Manager J. A. Balch, togeth-
er with certain important recommen-
dations left here by Wireless Expert
A. A. Isbell before he went to Massa-
chusetts for vacation-to Boston for
a rest.
The annual meeting of the local wire
less will mark the opening of a new
era in local wireless, for Immediately
following the yearly meeting it is ex-
pected that plans will be definitely
published outlining a scheme of in
ter-coast communication to compete
with the trans-Pacific cable at con-
siderably reduced rates.
The Kahuku long-distance station
has shown such unexpected success
that the management believes it is
warranted in going ahead with some
revolutionary ideas in the matter OF
trans-ocean intelligence.

Much depends, however, on the set
Element of the situation bearing on
the proposed amalgamation of wireless
interests with the affairs of the auto
matte telephone scheme in which lat
ter enterprise Hutchins is the moving
spirit. This deal is at d standstill
just now, as previously announced
for an option on Balch's stock fell
through and the probability of a new
deal is being talked of.
Manager Balch is now going ahead
with necessary improvements to the
wireless system, but it is said that as
far as new ventures are concerned he
is not likely to make any move until
he finds where he is to stand in re-
gard to the affairs of the company.
If the wireless is to remain a wireless
affair alone he is likely to remain
manager, or Isbell may come here to
manage, but if the automatic consoli-
dation is consummated Balch is likely
to seek pastures new. Hutchins has
nothing to say at present and it is be-
lieved that he is awaiting advices from
the coast.

Temple we will have the most up-to-
date building, in all it's most essential
parts, to be found in the Territory OF

PLENTY Of RAIN IN
THE NUUANU VALLEY

A heavy rain fell in the Nuuanu
valley and for the first time in over
a year the gulches down the Pail were
running with water. There was plen-
ty of moisture for the ground to alb
sorb and the rainfall was sufficient to
fill the reservoir to height that as
sures sufficient water supply from it
for the next month.
superintendent of Public works
Marston Campbell went up to the dam
yesterday and was well pleased with
conditions as he found them. In his
opinion the dam can be completed
within the course of four months and
what is a great deal more important,
IN view of the depleted condition of
the treasury, is the fact that no fur
Their appropriation will be necessary.
The rainfall came practically all
above the dam, three inches in all fall
ing. The result has been that the col
lected waters in reservoir were drawn
upon and all the lower reservoirs filed,
while the big reservoir had eight feet
in it last night with more rushing in
from every gulch. Lulumahu is send
ing down a stream eighteen inches deep
and five feet wide, every waterfall on
both sides of the valley is playing and
the watershed is soaked The Superin-
tendent of Public Works estimates that
there will be a run-off of five million
gallons a day for the next week from
yesterdays rain, while the indications
are that more rain will come.
This will enable siuicing operations
to go ahead in full blast for some time
to come and the legislators will find the
construction crews busy when they pay
their trip of inspection. Last session,
when the appropriation asked for was
voted, it was promised that this session
there would be a big luau given the
members of the Legislature on the COM
pleted bank of the dam. The weather
of the past year has been such, how
ever, that this promise cannot be car.
ried out. The members will be able to
see, though, where the money is going
and be able to get some idea of the

Petrie and Emmeluth Differ
Enough to Vote One
With the Other.

ThereWere two votes registered against
the proposal to take postcard vote of
the members of the Merchants Asso-
cation to ascertain the sentiments of
the sixty odd members on the question
of the suspension of the coastwise law.
One of these votes was that of T. HI.
Petrle, who didn t want any SUSPENSION
OF the law at all; the other was that
OF John Emmeluth, who wished to have
the matter go much further than pro-
posed and include a suspension of the
law altogether, on passengers, freight
and everything else. The two extremes
marked the opposition to the postcard
vote suggestion.
In favor of taking the vote, were
sixteen of the nineteen at the meeting
