ANOTHER BIG
WATER SCHEME
Great Ditch Proposition on Ha-
wall Is Almost Carried
Out.

News has been received by wireless
from Hawaii of the practical completion
of the longest tunnel of the new Hama,
kua ditch. The wOrkmen tunneling
nom opposite directions, in the long
tunnel met according TO calculations,
and this last and biggest of the tunnel
propositions will soon be finished.
This tunnel is 1900 feet long, through
spur of the mountain range. A thou
sand feet of it was through very hard
rock, being about the most difficult
work which the engineers and workmen
have yet had to undertake.. Engineer
Jorgensen IS report of the finishing of
this biggest bit of tunneling was re.
ceived with much satisfaction by the
directors of the company.
The ditch now nearing completion
, will be twenty-four miles in length, in
Guiding tunnels, Of which there are nine
miles altogether. The tunnels are high
up in the mountains, and represent
splendid engineering work.
| The ditch will deliver stream Of
water from the mountains to the fertile
lands Of Kukuihaele, HOnokaa, Paauhau
and other plantations. The water has
been going to waste, running through
gulches into the sea. By the engineer
ing enterprise of the ditch company it
is made available for use, and it will
add greatly to the fertility of the lands.
The ditch is a miilion-dollar PROPOSE
ton, and will have capacity of hun
bred million gallons Of water day.
Already the plantations Of Kukuihaele,
Honokaa and Paauhau have CON
tracted for thirty million gallons day,
and the delivery of the water will begin
this summer.
The company plans to turn water into
the new ditch on July 4, and the di-
rectors and a number of guests will
make an excursion from Honolulu to
celebrate the completion of the big de.
velOpment enterprise.

VASILIEFF TO
BE DEP0RTED
Continues from Page one.9

The letter to the attorney.eeneral
was read to Vasilieff, and as It went
on the man became less and less cocky,
and finally wilted completely. He
claimed that he did not sail from Rus
STA, but from Japan, but the wird was
taken out of his sails when, further
on in the letter, the suggestion was
made to the department of justice that
the order of deportation should run to
Japan also. This would leave him prae-
tically as man without country. The
local representative of the department
of justice in his letter expressed the
opinion that Vasilieif should be dealt
with summarily and that measures too
stringent could not be taken.

LAW TO RESTRAIN
LABOR AGENCIES

Richmond. June l7.--Among the
laws passed by the last Virginia Leg
islaturc, relating TO labor. which go
into effect today, perhaps the most
important is measure designed to
protect the worlingman from unscru.
pulous employment agencies and labor
bureaus.
Heretofore a labor agent could
charge any fee he felt disposed and il
no position was secured for his client
the latter had no redress.
Now the agent must find work for
his client or he cannot charge any.
thing for his service further than a
81 filing fee for putting his name on
tho list.
There is nothing i'm the new act TO
prevent the agent from charging n
second fee TO the person whom he fur.
nishes servant and he can continue
TO charge a fee from the man who
wants position and another fee from
the man who gives the position.
The new laws, however, protects tho
man seeking employment from being
required TO pay fee to any employe
OF corporation by whom he may be
employed TO hire the help.

The Mild Eyed Milk Giver
Causes Lawyers to Dis
pute Over Her
Rights.
CASE IN SQUIRE
GOBBEY'S COURT
Grave Question as to Wheth-
or She is Under the
City or State.

a nice point OF law relative to the
city COW ordinance was involved In
the case of Bird against Stewart
,ricd before Squire Godbey late yes
tordny afternoon i'm which the plain
tin attempted to- recover damage
for an alleged trespass committed by
Il COW belonging to the defendant.
The court held that i'm view of the fact
that according to the city ordinance
cows are given the freedom OF the
city from p. m. TO a. IN. that dam
ago could not be recovered and the
case was dismissed. This is the posi-
tion maintained by the city, but there
appears to be diversity OF opinion
in tile premises, other attorneys hold
Ing that special stock law OF the
state, covers the situation and there
fore renders the city ordnance null
and void
The special stool, law carries an
elective clause and may be adopted
by any maglstcrial district In 1908
the. voters of Beaver Pond district vot-
ed to enforce the law, and included
in this district is the city Of Blueneld.
The city ordnance, therefore, accord
ing to this interpretation would seem
to be in conflict with the selection OF
the voters. The charter of the city,
however, gives the city the right to
regulate matters Of this nature and
acting on this authority the present
COW ordinance was enacted.
The legal authorities in Bluoheld
are divided upon the question, but
there is a growing sentiment that
regardless Of law tho cow should bo
taken from the streets for all time.
