Captain Cluny on Rake.
Captain Cluny was at his best yes
terday afternoon at meeting of the
"Acient Mariners club in Captain
Campbell's store. The subject of the
rake of masts came up and Captain
Cluny pumped for the rake. He
brought out so many statistics to prove
his assertion that those who believed
in the straight up and down kind, had
to put their helms alec and get on the
other tack.
The argument referred to schooner,
of course. Captain Cluny called to
mind how all the old time clippers that
made records from Sydney to San
Francisco and across the Pacific had
a grand rake aft. "Take, for in
stance, the Star of Bethlehem" said
he, eff you took her peak ballard

"We are now getting about 10000
tons of freight year from the gov

we carry at a fiat rate of SO ton.
The railroad gets 5000 % ton of that
money, and the ship company gets the

remember that that business between

'iFor every trip that one Of the

bearing fruit, and that the Pacific Mail
Company has taken eognizance of the
fact. Said Mr. Schwerin:

pie of this Territory are looking into
the future. When the Panama Canal
IS completed, that waterway is bound
to work a revelation in business con-
ditions in Hawaii, and particularly in
the commercial Importance of this
port. The conditions are such that Ho-
nolulu must become most important
port of call.
''There is no doubt that you here
have a splendid harbor. This, the
western outpost of the United States,
from a military standpoint, is bound
to be visited by an increasing number
of ships. Here vessels must call for
coal, for water and for supplies.
More Water Needed.
81 hope that you will pardon me
if l criticize You for making land in
stead of water in your harbor. Hong
kong, the greatest port in the world,
does not want piers; she wants every
bit of harbor that she has. Lighter
age is demanded, that the waterfront
may not be taken up with wharves.
"When a ship calls here, her cap
tain does not want to lie out in the
ocean. He wants a harbor where he
has room to vancouver. You have seen
the Mongolia or the Korea turning in

Should there be anything else in the
harbor at the time, something must

lyon need more water. If you can
find way of increasing the area of
water in the harbor, and reducing the
land, do so by all means.

some time past that the red line on

Then the Interstate Commerce Com

''We could not comply with the rui-

rake to the masts. Ever see a picture
of the Old yacht America7 Did she

And then two dozen examples to prove
his assertion. No, right angles with the
waterline for Captain Clury.
And the Cruiser Crossed the Bar.
After the matter of a rake had been
settled. Cap. Cluny began to reminisce.
They were talking about getting in
to Honolulu harbor before the chan
mel was as wide as it is now and not
nearly so well marked. This how the
gallant captain told the story:
"When Queen Emma had been to
England she was brought back from
San Francisco in an American cruiser.
The cruiser anchored off port and the
Queen was brought ashore in a tug.
But it looked like southerly weather
and we used to have real Southers in
those days. So the captain of the
cruiser wanted to come inside but the
pilot told him that there was not
enough water over the bar. The cap
tain went to the harbormaster and
asked if there was no chance to get
in. Sect in? of course, you can get
in. said the harbormaster. No I'm
not mentioning any names.
"Wel1, this harbormaster told the
captain to put up full head of steam
before 10 o'clock the next day and
he would be there to bring the vessel
in. He went aboard and, as soon as
the anchor was up he put out to sea
till he was off Diamond Head. Then
he turned and pointed her for the
harbor.
''She came flying along like fell
low starting off for a broad jump and
she never stopped till she was in deep
water this side of the bar. The same
man took her out again and the cap
tain of the vessel never knew why
his pilot had called for so much steam
until the cruiser was taken out on the
ways in San Francisco. Then it was
found that she was caked with coral
three feet up from her keel on both
sides and the propeller blades looked
like they had the mumps with punches
of coral on the end. The vessel had
forced a passage over and through the
bar but she was going so fast that she
cut the coral like cheese and nobody
on board felt her strike.' Then Cap
tain Cluny said he had date at the
other end of the waterfront, Captain
Campbell said it was hot day and
the session of the Ancient Mariners
club dissolved.

canal at the Center school house in
the Holbrook Valley, at O'Clock.
Saturday afternoon. March 9Th. The
purpose of the meeting is TO petition
the county commissioners to order an
election to vote on the formation Of
an irrigation district. embracing all
the territory watered by the Holbrook
ditch. the boundaries of which will
be more particularly described at
this meeting. The new irrigation dis.
trict will be organized upon similar
lines and under the same law as that
under which the Otero ditch is now
operated, the latter being the first
OF the seven districts now in the
state Incorporated under that law.
in the event of the irrigation district
being organized. which 1t will be.
without doubt, 1t is the purpose
Of the people OF the Holbrook Valley
to issue bonds and buy the ditch,
and also secure q reservoir In the
mountains for supplementary
water supply. They already have
several reservoir sites under consid-
sration. II win require about $780,
