DEVISE SCHEME FOR
CONTROLLING WATER
Government Initiates New Action
in Connection With the Home
stead Lands.

After a great deal of work the ter.
ritorial government has perfected a sys-
tenn of disposition of the Pupukea home
stead land waters, and papers have been
drawn up by Deputy Attorney General
Sutton which will transfer the water
rights to an association of the land
holders there.
The system is analogous to that which
has been in service with success in
the great irrigation districts of the
West but with the experience of those
regions to base their plans ON, the Pu
pukea system will be an improvement
over mainland methods.
According to the articles of associa
tion, officially called the Pupukea Wa
ter Association. the homesteaders al
that place acquire stock assuring them
an amount of water prorated according
to their land holdings,
The stock in the association is moi
transferable except where the land il
sold when the water rights as repre-
sented by it must 60 with the land. IL
other words the stock held by the land
holder through virtue of possessing
land is inalienable from the land it
self.
There is water enough only for stool
and domestic purposes and irrigation
water is not needed. While there 1
sufficient for the first two purposes, th
question of distributing became diff
fieult one when first taken up, the solu
tion being found agreeable to al
parties.
The homesteaders win now have com
plete control of the water works an'
distribution of the water, subject onl,
to the necessary restrictions of the gov
ernment. This is the first time tn
system has been used in the Territory

their Jobs Each is responsible for
what goes on in the building during

The story yesterday afternoon cre-
ated no small sensation, for all the Gus.
toms men are well known, Raven and
jacobson particularly being known for
their long service, jacobson having been
on the force for fourteen years.
From one source comes the informa-
tion that Collector Stackable, when he
first got wind that there was gambling
in the building, day and night, called
inspectors to his Office to advise that
if they knew there was anything wrong
going on they should see that it was
asked declared that the men of the
force were all faithful in their duties
and that nothing was wrong. Persistent
reports that there was gambling led to
an investigation in which the collector 4
brother, r. C. Stackable, took an effec
tive hand, with the result that Noyes
and Bower were caught gambling in
the inspectors office with Joe Leal, Joe
Kubey, Herbert Levey, Eugene Love
and Otto Heine.
Hence the designations, and now the
department is looking for men 10 take

Ceedings the Result of Part of
the Work of Delegate Kuhio.

Condemnation proceedings have been
commenced by United States District
Attorney Breckons against plots of
ground for fourteen lighthouses in the
Hawaiian Lighthouse district, chiefly of
the islands of Hawaii and Kauai This
is the first step of what is to stand
as the most ambitious undertaking
which the lighthouse department has
attempted in Hawaii, and is one of the
results of Delegate Kuhio' S work at

la Point at the entrance to Hanapepe
harbor, On the opposite side of the
island land for a light station will be
condemned for light at Mahukona
with right of way to- the Anahola
wharf landing.
Five or six are planned for Hawaii.
In North Kohala there viii be land
condemned for a light at Mahukona
landing and also at Kauhola, the for
mer with right of way to the nearest
government road, although no such pro-
vision is made for the latter. There
viii also be a first-class light on the
I east point of Puma.
One order instructs Breckons to start
proceedings to condemn land for seven
different lighthouses, all of them scat.
tered. Kipahulu on southern Maui il
one. Maui sister island, Molokai
| gets two, Kaunakakai and Pauwalu be
ing in the list.
The other three plots of land which
will be condemned are at Pepeekeo
Hawea and Lac ka Laau.
The three lighthouses for which land
was requested to be condemned anc
which have not yet been acted upon by
the department are Laupahoehoe, Kane
