QUAY WALL WORK
TO BE ASSIGNED
Carterra Company Asks City to
Transfer Contract to Hans
brough Brothers

OAKLAND, Sept. 6.-The Carterra
contracting company has requested the
board of public works to assign to the
Hansborough Brothers contracting firm
of San Francisco the contract to build
the first section of the estuary quay
wall, extending 1000 feet from Myrtle
street to Clay. The Carterra company
bidder. offering to do the work for
about s222,000. This figure was far be-
low the city engineers estimate, and
was so far under the competing bids
that the board OF works made a full
investigation before allowing the con-
tract.
City Engineer Turner has said he sees
no reason why the transfer of the con-
tract should cause delay in the work
and the latest proposition of the Car
terra company has been referred to
City Attorney Stetson for legal safe
guarding of the city
The Carterra company has a certi-
fed check for $4,000 deposited with
the board of public works, to guar
antee that construction of the quay
wall will be commenced within so
days after the letting of the contract
ana to protect the city from financial
loss in the undertaking. The fling
of this check as required by law, be-
gan the troubles of the contracting
company. Two days after 1t was re-
ceived by the city, creditors asso-
citation attached the check. The city
officials ignored this turn as the city
has the prior claim on the check, and
the Carterra company was preparing
to begin construction OF the quay wall
1t was supposed work would begin
next week, but the Carterra company
advanced their proposal to assign the
contract today, and the works board
will keep the offer under consideration
for a few days. If no legal obstacles
are found, the assignment of the con-
tract will probably be made.
Hansbrough brothers have done con-
tracing for the federal government at
the presidio, and for the city of San
Francisco. Expecting to become as
signees of the Carterra company. they
are now obtaining machinery and ma
terials from the east.
The quay wall work is provided for
in the recent bond issue of $3,T00,000
for wharves and municipal buildings.
For the estuary wall, $750.0o0 was
set aside. OF this the city engineer
estimated that s35o,o00 would be re-
quired for the wall construction, and
most of the remainder has been paid
for waterfront property skirting the
line of the quay wall, on which will be
laid a belt railway with warehouses
and public street.
Assistant City Engineer Bron has
completed the surveys for the wall
and has marked the line. Several
waterfront buildings will be removed
to make room for the Improvement.

BOY MAROONED ON
ISLAND 4 months
Youth Lives Without Fire, Food
or Company Except Raw
Flour and Wild Goats
Especial Correspondence Of The Call

Special Correspondence of he Call
HONOLULU, Aug. 31.-Kalau Kaai-
hue, IA year old Hawaiian boy. was
rescued last week from the barren
island of Kahooiawe. where he has been
living, marooned, for four months,
without fire, without any food except
uncooked flour and with only wild
goats for company.
The boy was an employe of the
kahoolawe ranching company, which
has herd of sheep on the island. Four
months a go the other employees of the
company left in the only boat. telling
Kaaihue that they would return for
him. They either forgot all about him
or did not care whether he lived or
starved to death. They neither noti-
fed any one that they had left him be-
hind nor went back for him. His stock
of matches ran out; his dog, with which
he ran down goats for food, was bunted
off a cliff by pugnacious billy and
killed. He had nothing to eat but
-four, mixed with cold water.
He tried all the approved Robinson
Crusoe stunts of striking stones to-
gether to get sparks and making fire
by rubbing sticks, but there was moth
ing doing. He ran up some signals.
but none of the boats passing up and
down the channel noticed him. He was
afraid to try and swim the few miles
that separated him from Maui because
OF sharks and the small raft he built
smashed up almost a the moment of
launching.
Kahoolawe is an island seldom Wis
tied although lying In sight of several
of the largest islands of the group. A
Japanese fishing sampan put In last
week, however, and brought the boy off.

OAKLAND ORPHEUM
OFFERS fine BILL
Former Star Under Charles
Fr0hman Scores Hit in
Clever Sketch

OAKLAND, Sept. 6.-The new bill at
the Oakland Orpheum this week com
prises a list of some of the cleverest
performers that have been brought to-
gether since the opening of the house.
This has been fully substantiated by
the large crowds that have attended
every production.
AS the headliner, Miss Minnie Dupree
is entitled to the bouquets, and the
grace and winSomeness with which she
performs in the playlet The Ministers s
Wife" has won her her audiences COM
pletely. Miss Dupree was for a num-
Der of years a star under the mana ge-
ment of Charles Frohman, with whom
she scored a signal success. She is a
dainty and artistic ingenue and gives
promise of unusual achievement in
vaudeville.
All Jolson carries off first honors in
comedy work. He is d rapid fire monol-
ogfst with wealth of quips and funny
jokes. which he delivers like a Gatling
gun in action. Renee. who applies the
term goddess of music, to herself, is
newcomer. but has won favor for her
excellent musical performance with a
wide variety of instruments.
j. c. Nugent, in his fine sketch, The
Squarer," has been retained from last
week, and has again been found among
the leaders. His play is the talk of the
Orpheuml patrons.
The Six Kaufmans have for years
been admittedly the cleverest cyclists
and trick performers in vaudeville. In
their act at the Orpheum the six orig
inal members efficiently sustain their
past reputation. Their performance is
one of the most skillful and graceful
of its kind ever seen here.
The operate Festival" has also been
retained. and remains one of the fea-
lures of the show. Flanagan and Ed
wards, in their amusing sketch "On
and Off" depict realistic comedy situ-
ations in a dressing room behind the
scenes The Harvey de Vora Trio
