WANTS ALL WATER
bitches LINED

Marston Campbell superintendent
of public works, is writing a brief on
the subject of the artesian awter sup
ply on the island of Oahu for submits
sion to Governor Frear. 1t will be a
paper of some length and of consider
able importance.
Mr.. Campbell feels strongly that
some steps should be taken for con-
serving the artesian water supply, and
that no time should be lost in the
matter He estimates that of the wa
ter actually passing up through the
wells not more than sixty per cent is
utilized, while the remaining forty per
cent is wasted absolutely This is
most liberal estimate, and it is cas-
lily possible that sixty per cent is vast
ed and not over forty used for agri-
cultural or other purposes.
This waste Mr.. Campbell regards as
outrageous, dangerous and unneces-
sary, and he will appeal to the Cover
nor for remedial measures. If the
drain upon the artesian water supply
is allowed to 90 on he thinks the time
will be greatly fastened when the wa
ter problem will be a. terribly serious
one.
In support of his views, the superin-
tendent refers to the jealous guarding
of the water supply and conservation
| thereof by the United States in all
dry sections of the mainland. No
waste is allowed anywhere; every
drop of water is saved and applied
somewhere.
Mr.. Campbell finds that unlined
bitches on the plantations result in
the loss of enormous amounts of wa,
ter. The aim seems to be on most
estates to get the water on the land
no matter how or by what means. II
is run out in unlined bitches, and a
large proportion of it sinks into the
ground where it is not needed. Nc
Crosson and Jorgensen, he thinks
were on the right tack in lining all the
bitches connected with the Hamaku;
water systems; and he would hav,
this scheme followed on every planta
ton of Oahu.

spotty, with a general inclination to-

the price of sugar would naturally
be blamed for such a condition were

A feature of the mornings session
was that there were no sales reported
as having been made between boards.
This is most unusual.
On the board the principal business
was in Oahu and that stock seems TO

with Pioneer a close second. There
were sales this morning of Is, 10. Is,

Olaa is still little weak, although
the cause is not clear. 1t is reliably
reported that this stock is eagerly
sought and purchased at Hilo and
other parts of Hawaii for more money
than it brings in Honolulu. 1t is true
that very little of it is for sale here at
the obove figures. On the board this
morning 15O and 20 shares changed

GREAT OIL OUTPUT
Of CALIFORNIA

With the gusher era, California has
added to the worlds wealth in her
usual generous and spectacular style,
reminding one somewhat of the Wes-
tern millionaires of the "Scotty" type,
who fling their golden largess right
and left, to be scrambled for, not
taking any particular pains to dodge
the kodak of the newspapermen while
making their splurge.
The official estimate of the riches
flung skyward by the oil wells of the
state during 1909 has just been given
to the public. 1t represents the tidy
sum of $32,OOO,OOO, according to the
report Of State Mineralogist Aubrey.
This is the estimate of the value Of
the years output, which amounts to
more than 5S,OOO,OOO barrels.
No wonder capitalists from the
East and abroad are pricking up their
ears at the sound of the roaring gey.
sers of black, ill-smeiling fluid, which
nevertheless, has such golden SHIN
mer to it when seen at the right
angle. wonder that California is
going coil crazy" just as in other
times it succumbed to the gold fever
and the corner-lotitis of the days Of
the real estate boom.
According to the United States
Geological Survey, the amount of oil
remaining in the ground to be
brought to the surface for the bene-
fit of the lucky investors will come
to about 1O,OOO,OO6,OOO barrels. So
that the years output, great as it is,
may be reasonably compared to the
handful of gold that Scott throws
to the bellhops.
Strange as it may seem, the fact
that there is an inexhaustble sup
ply will tend to raise the prices in
the long run rather tnan lower them,
and the explanation OF this seeming
paradox is that oil burners will be
installed in constantly increasing
numbers, with the assurance that
there will be no oil famine to render
them useless. Therefore the owners
Of generous wells like the Lakeview
gusher watch its flow of about 40
600 barrels a day without any des-
pondent forebodings OF a glutted mar
ket.
The Lakeview is the most famous
of the gushers which have brought
sudden wealth to their owners.
Imagine a column of black oil spout
ing from 200 to 400 feet high, throw
ing a spray for miles around and
forming a veritable lake of crude oil
in the reservoirs. That sounds
like a spasmodis attempt to make a
showing while company is expected,
but when you think of a flow like
that keeping up, with no interruption,
from the middle of March to the
present writing, it appears to be a
very lengthy spasm.-C. L. Edholm,
in Technical World Magazine.

Kekaha's former estimate of 1850
tons of sugar for this year, will be
exceeded by nearly 5000 tons, as the
present estimate places the figure at

within a week or so, whereupon
month will be spent overhauling the
machinery in readiness for next sea-
son, which will begin about October
first.-The Garden Island.
The managers estimate for the
crop of Kekaha this year was 1850

TARIFF MAY HURT
JAPANESE TRADE

WASHINGTON Aug. 11-American
trade with Japan may be seriously af-
fected after July II next year, on
which date the duties in the new
Japanese tariff law will go into effect
This was the statement made today
by the State Department, in which
are retailed the most important
changes to be made by the new tariff
law.
Unless reciprocal tariff concessions
are made by the two countries before
the date in question a number of i'm
partant articles of export from the
United States which now enjoy low
tariff rates will have to pay consider
ably increased duties under the statu-
tory tariff. Among these articles
are rails, the duty on which will be
raised from per cent, ad valorem
to about 20 per cent; locomotives
and tenders, which will be subject to
similar increase; pipes and tubes of
cast and wrought iron, from 10 per
cent. ad valorem to specific rates
ranging from Is to 20 per cent, ad
valorem; paraffin wax, from to 20
per cent. ad valorem; iron nails, from
10 per cent. to 20 per cent. printing
paper, from 10 per cent. to 1872 per
cent; insulated electric wire, from
8 per cent to about "a per cent, and
railway passenger cars from 8 per
cent. to 80 per cent. ad valorem.
Most of other articles of American
export to Japan which now enjoy the
Odd statutory tariff of Japan
will pay an increased duty
under the new statutory tariff of about
& per cent. ad valorem. Among these
articles are electrical machinery,
wheat, steam engines. pumping, mill
ing, sewing, drilling and borng ma
chimes, mining machinery, steam tur-
bines, steam boilers and hydraulic
motors In all OF these the increase
will be 5 per cent. ad Valorem, except
wheat, where it will be from 10 to 1872
per cent ad valorem.

Clever Police Dogs.

One of the smartest police con-
stables in Wales has four feet. He
answers to the name of Wallace, and
people who did not know better would
mistake him for an ordinary dog.
Wallace belongs to Albert Savage
of the Glamorganshire constabulary,
who has trained him for police duty.
"He works the backs Of houses
while his master works the fronts.
and vice versa" says the Police Re-
view and Parade Gossip. "He never
misses a man if there is one about,
and his warning bark soon makes
known to his master the presence of
tramps lettering or sleeping in the
farmyards."
Bob, the dog of a Newport, Isle of
Wight postman, who accompanies his
master to the Newport railway sta
ton for the mails, has developed a
fondness for travelling by train, alone
and without ticket, to Mil; HiN, o
suburb of Cowes.
There he always detrains and waits
for the next train back to Newport.
Spot, the collecting dog at Bexley
Station, on the Southeastern & Chat
ham railway, was presented recently
with a silver-mounted collar and en-.
rolled a member of the Brotherhood
of Hero Dogs-London Express.

The little mother sat and sewed.
There was the party dress for Emily.
She knew she wasn't making it well.
1t needed the more artistic finish of
one who kept in touch with styles.
The little mother was too busy to go
out into the world and see things.
Since Jean had left there had been SO
many things to do.
She shipped off a thread and sur
veyed the garment. Jean could have
tied the bows differently. But she
must not wish her back when she was
so happy in her life in the city. In
the store where Jean worked people
came to be fitted and tried on, and
there was always life and excitement
and plenty of money.
"She is very happy" the little
mother told Andy Wentworth when
he had come in the night before.
Andy had said, thoughtfully, II hope
So" and had stared into the fire.
The little mother wished that Jean
might have cared for Andy. The big.
double house on the hill would have
held them all-Jean and Andy living
on one side. and Emily and her moth
er on the other. And in the spring
they would have looked out on the
poisoning dogwood and would have
heard the birds sing and in the fall
there would have been the flame of
the trees and the sunsets over the
lake.
There was no view of sunset from
the little mothers window. Only the
squalid streets of the mining town
and bit of bleak north sky.
When the lamps were lighted it
was better and the little mother
sewed in a circle of light until Emily
came. Emily's hair was like spun
gold and when she tried on the new
pink dress she looked like rose. But
the little mother didn't think of that
She was worried about the fit. EN-
