MORE GUNS FOR
PEARL HARBOA
CONTINUED From Page One.l


nothing over by Barber's Point. The
zone of fire of the land batteries swept
much of the ocean from the sea to the
shore and owing to reefs preventing
ships from approaching too close the
coast defense guns had the call; but it
was found that the zone of fire could
not take in the Point mentioned, leav-
ing that exposed to landing parties on
the Waialua side. In that event guns
brought ashore by way of Barber g
Point and directed at the Pearl Harbor
batteries would place them in Difficult
ties. 1t was brought out in the dis
cussion that the fortifying of Pearl
Harbor, according to the old plans,
would not go far enough.
Brigadier-G General Murray, chief Of
the coast artillery, it was learned, had
been all over the island on his first
visit, and at that time he was not Of
the opinion that Barber's Point should
be included in fertilization plans, but
his second visit is believed to have
caused him to favor the establishment
of battery of small caIiber guns
there. Other points around the island
may have to be protected.
Congressman asked whether or not
the Koolau side would not also have to
be similarly provided against landing
parties, but it was the opinion of those
who have studied the matter that the
reefs of windward Oahu are ample de-
tense against such an invasion, and
that mobile force at Leilehua, with
the knowledge possessed by military
men Of the passes and gaps in the sur
rounding mountain ranges, could be dis
patched to many parts of the island to
prevent such landings.

PUNCHBQWL EASILY
CLIMBED BY AUTOS

The road up and around Punchbowi
is in excellent shape. Not only can the
ascent to the lower level be made COM
fortably by a motor ear, but there IS
not a single place in the path around
the summit that can give any trouble.
From the summit of Punchbowl, pan
oramic view of splendor spreads cut
before the eyes of the visitor.
Gangs of men are now at work on
the road leading to the summit and
within two weeks, all of the rough
spots will have been made smooth
Even now the trip can be made with
perfect comfort, and the road around
the promontory is absolutely safe.

MARINE:


The harkentine Mary Winkei-
man. Captain Aspe. came in to port
Yesterday with a large load of all kinds
Of lumber. She had made a very fast
run from Eureka. considering the time
Of war, Just seventeen days and twelve
hours.
The cargo. consigned to Levers &
Cooke. consisted of all the products of
Humboldt County, including eggs. The
latter were all used up aboard ship.
There was lumber in nearly every
shape that a coast mill turns out in
the rough: posts. shingles. crossarms,
ties and lumber in all sizes to the ex-
tent Of 100000 feet.
Captain Aspe stated that he was
pleased to have made 50 quick a run

and came from most any old direc-

come from about East by North to

Then they would die out and come up
again only to switch round till it
looked like a landlubber boxing the
compass.

working all the time and there was
no chance to haul some huff and keep

How Dredging Is Distributed.

w. F. Dillingham;, head of the Ha-
waiian Dredging Company which has
the channel and harbor contract, ex-
planned to the members of the Naval
Committee, and also to members of the
Military Committee, that by an ar
rangement with the Navy Department.
the million dollars of the first section
of the contract was being expended
mainly between Waipio Point and the
sea entrance, including the bar. When
the members looked at the gradually
Strengthening line Of channel and saw
the vast amount of work which has to
be done to cut out a thirty-fve foot
depth from hard coral, they could I'M
derstand how easily the money goes.
The congressman appeared to be i'm
pressed with the necessity for the com
pIete removal Of Waipio POINT on the
lines suggested by the naval engineers.
and an appropriation for this work is
expected Of the next Congress.
Where the drydock is to be built the
visitors saw some boring machines. 1t
was explained that these were ascer-
tanning the nature Of the material
which will shortly be attacked by
dredgers. As the drydock is to be one
| OF the most expensive jobs in the de-
| velopment of the naval station, the site
was source Of much questioning on
the part of the visitors.
Mr.. Dillingham; explained that al
| ready three-q quarters of a million cubic
feet of material had been dredged from
the channel.
The tug passed around Ford Island
ana came to an anchorage off the
Peninsula wharf and the guests were

EQUALIZATION
 BOARD ADJOURNS

Without making change in the assessment of any property in the county, the Faulkner county equali- zation board adjourned at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Before adjourning a resolution, introduced by Chairman L. B. Atkeison, declaring that the as- sessment as a whole was a fair one was adopted by the board, receiving the votes of H. Robinson and G. D Sowell, the other two members.
 The board first met on Monday September 13, and was in session un- til the following day, when, at the re- quest of the state commission, an ad- journment until Monday of this week was taken. Commissioner David A Gates appeared before the board yes terday and urged that the assess ments be put on an equal basis, citing a few instances where he thought the valuations were too low.
 Members of the board, however, ex-
 
 unwilling to make the changes sug- gested unless a thorough revision of the entire assessment was made, which would necessitate trip through the county and several weeks of hard work.
 The resolution adopted this after noon was as follows:
 "We have carefully examined the assesors books of Faulkner county. We have made such revisions and corrections as we have found neees- sary.
 "The taxpayers of the county, in cluding the city of Conway, have al most generally given their property at a fair valuation. Those in the city of Conway have, with very few ex- captions, materially increased their assessments. These increases show a public spirit in the face of the calam- itous crop conditions of this county.
 Assessor Bishop is to be commend ed for having been fair and just in the manner he has assessed the proper ty of the entire county.
 Be it resolved, that the foregoing be adopted by this board as resolu' tion, and be it further resolved that we now adjourn"
