CITIES MAKE LARGE
 OFFERS FOR RAILROAD
Helena's Bid So High That Present Plans May Be Changed to
 Benefit That City.

Nashville, Feb. 14.-Judge J. w. Bishop has returned from a visit to the eastern part of the state, where he went to confer with the various ern extension of the Memphis, Paris and Gulf road
 Dewitt came forward promptly with cash bonus of $25,O00 and the right of way through Arkansas coun- ty, and Marianna is ready to do what ever is necessary to procure the road
 There is a possibility, however, that the road may not be built thrugh Ma rianna, since Helena is making offers that may lead to the road being built to that city instead of to Memphis, in which event it would miss Marianna
 The offer made by Helena was so large that Judge Bishop did not un- dertake the responsibility of declining it, but returned home for confer ence with other officials of the road.
 Should the road be built to Helena, it would not necessarily mean the cutting out of Memphis, however, as connection would be made at Helena with the Illinois Central, and track age agreement with that road for entering Memphis would be a possi- bility.

BUSTER BROWN"
 HERE THURSDAY

There is always an attraction in a "girl show" in this city, possibly it is the same in others, and the an- nouncement of the coming of "Bus- ter Brown" to the Elks theater on Thursday night should have double significance to the amusement seeker, for it is not only an attraction with a lot of pretty maidens, but it has been fully demonstrated that it is one of the most amusing comedies of the decade. Master Rice plays Buster and Tommy Colton as "Tige' this season.

THE BUTTERFLY
AS AN ORNAMENT
1t Is One Of the Foremost
Motifs Of the Season.

Butterfly motifs are very much the
fashion. The corsage of one evening
dress shows a butterfly drapery in
shaded green and blue metal cloth. It
was as an ornament pure and simple
that the pretty insect, in all its ex-
quisite and radiant beauty, was first
introduced. That was months ago
There was a positive obsession for in
sects then.
Women wore beetles wing en-
broideries, perched dragon flies poised
upon trembling wires in their hair, Sc
cured their hats on their heads by
means of butterfly headed pins. A fan
cy arose for wearing butterfly brooch
es and pendants made of translucent
enamels set with gems, and then, still
more wonderful, came the butterfly
imprisoned in crystal and used in va
rious practical and ornamental ways,
from paper weight to pendant.
Next into publicity came the butter
fy's connection with dress, and the
new development of the old idea is the
phase we are invited to welcome now.
The butterfly is noticeable under the
fresh regime, inasmueh as entirely diff
ferent materials are used for it's max
ing. Enamel, tinted horn, gold, silver
and platinum with setting of pre-
cious stones-the obvious means, in
fact, whereby the butterfly can be rep
resented-are set aside now by lace,
fur and embroideries. The incongrui-
ty of butterfly made of silk and fur
would have discounted the success of
the scheme had too close a resem-
blance to nature been attempted. 1t
was the suggestion of the beautiful fly
that was so acceptable and so convinc-
ing, and the suggestion was secured
by the shape of the bow, which was
like the butterhy's wings, and the
poise thereof, which was that Of the
creature at rest upon flower

be passed to allow the development of
the Kau lands. Such a plan would
mean that the sale of government land
under the new ditch would carry with
it an obligation that the new owner
should purchase water from the ditch
company at a fixed price for a term
in the vicinity OF nifty years. In this
manner the promoters of the ditch
would be assured of getting the return
of their money. The water rate, of
course, would be fixed at such a figure
as to allow a reasonable profit.
The plan or a fifty year lease by the
government of lands under the ditch
by the government has also been pro
posed, but seems to be most unlike
ly solution, on account of the fact that
the entire trend Of the land amend
ments in this territory has been to
the opposite effect and to prevent any
| long term leases whatever. In view
of the fact that there may be many
| legal complications, between the ditch
people and the owners of water rights
on the Hilo side of the island, it seems
very unlikely that the matter will be
presented to Congress at it's coming
session. In fact it is hardly likely
that Congress, unless urged to such ac-
ton by the delegate and the governor,
would pass special legislation of This
kind until it had first been threshed
out in the legislature.

that the improved appliances which
have been put in are expected to rem
der a steam plant unnecessary. Never
theless, the Hilo Electric company will
view with jealous eyes any attempt to
divert water from the upper sources
of the Wailuku river, which might Sc
riously interfere with the service Civ
en- to the city of Hilo
There are a number of important
law points to be considered in the
question, however, which might throw
the balance on the side of the McCros
son plans. In the first place the ques-
ton will come up as to whether Wa
ter for irrigation purposes, such as
would be taken by the proposed ditch,
would not be so much more valuable
that it would have preference right
over water to be used for huming or
other like purpose. To counterfeit
this, however, it is understood that
there is an old Hawaiian law under
which no man may take water from a
stream unless he returns it to that
same stream or to the section from
which it is taken.
The plans of the ditch promoters, it
is understood, are to start the ditch at
a level of about 22O0 feet, on the Hilo
side of the island, and run it around
to Kau, distance of about 100 miles,
where it will be delivered at about the
1000 foot level. This would give the
ditch a grade of about six feet to the
mile, just about what is needed for
the work. The streams on this side
of the island at the 1900 foot level are
small and 1t is doubtful if very large
amount of water could be obtained
but weirs have been installed within
the past few weeks in a number OF
places to measure the flow of water al
this height and see if it will be sufH
cient.
1t is possible that big conservation
scheme might be put through, by
which the waste (ater of the RAIN!
months should be collected and hell
for use later in the season during
droughts. However since the cost o
the ditch alone is estimated at nearl
$3,000,000 and the work of building
great dams for conservation would ad
to this tremendously, the cost Nigh
