WOODS DITCH.

Says the Kohala Midget: The
ditch and water system which is be-
ing constructed by Frank Woods will
cost at least $4,000, including the
ditch and reservoirs. 1t will supply
plenty of water for use on the Woods
ranch and also have a considerable
supply which will be for sale.
That part of the water may be used
on the DR., Wight estate, which lies
below the Woods ranch. The es-
tate has between four and five thou
sand acres of land which would be
good for cane if water was available
but until that time, is of small value.
Some cane is grown there now, how
ever, and being ground by the Hawl
mill, but If water can be obtained for
