MONEY FOR
MARINE CORPS
CONGRESS- MAKES UP ENOUGH
TO MEET PEARL HAnRoR
BUILDING BIDS

Local marine corps officers have re-
ceivcd limitations from Washington
that an appropriation covering the full
amount OF the bids rendered for the
construction OF the officers quarters
and enlisted mems barracks at Pearl
Harbor has been passed by congress
and that there is a strong probability
that construction work may be under
way in about three months.
There was an original appropriation
of S150,0O0 for barracks and $4,000
for officers quarters. The plans and
specifications called for ornate rein
forced concrete buildings of modern
lied Colonial design, and bids were
called for about year ago. When
the bids were opened that Of the Lord
Young Construction Company of Ho-
nolul1 was the lowest, but the bid was
in excess of the amount appropriated.
The bids were referred to Washington
and the contractors were asked if thsy
could not scale their bid down. They
replied they could not on the plans and
specifications submitted. The marine
corps authorities proposed to scale
down the plans and specifications, but
this was considered not the most feas-
ible plan and an effort was made to
get an additional appropriation.
The officers have heard within the
last week that the additional appro-
priation is available. The question
now arises as TO whether new bids will
be called for, but the probability is
that the contractors will be asked
whether they are still ready 20 go
ahead with construction work on the
figures submitted. If they answer in
the affirmative their bid will probably
be confirmed and the work ordered
started.
The marine corps buildings at the
Pearl Harbor Naval Station will be
among the most pretentious so far
planned in the defense scheme for
Oahu.

MODEL
VILLAGE FOR THE
WINDWARD SIDE

Kahaluu, on the windward side of the
island, will soon be the scene Of ex-
tensive building activities. as the work
on the large Libby, McNein & Libby
pineapple cannery has been commenced.
In connection with the cannery there
is to be erected village for the en-
ployes of the company which will be
unique in that it will be as complete
as any large town. There viii be reg
ular streets, a perfect sewer system,
and a water system which win be sup
piled from mountain springs. The sani-
tation of the village will be perfect and
the utmost care viii be taken for the
cleanliness of the place.
The cannery itself will be one Of the
largest and most complete in the Ter
ritory. It win have a capacity for $780,
900 cases of pineapples annually. The
cannery Building will be 120x130 feet,
while the drying room will be 40xl20
feet and the warehouse 60x120 feet.
There is, in addition to this, an office
building, boiler and engine rooms and
q number of rooms for employees.
The Libby, Mcneil & Libby Company
recently contaminated q deal with the
4hdCAdNlduo AubcIcSlS W bIcCb JIG AdABS
cannery to handle the increased amount
of fruit. The Chicago company has also
made arrangements with the Castle in
terests to handle their pineapple crop.
The location of the cannery is ex-
cellent, being at Kahaluu, on PENN
sula that juts ont into the bay from
the rear of the wharf and warehouse,
where the trade winds have a clear
sweep of the premises.
The employees village will be one Of
the show places of the island when it
is completed, as well as a good adver-
tisement for the packing company. II
is expected that the cannery win be
able to start work about May 1, while
the whole plant win be completed by
May 10.
II. L. Kerr, Of Honolulu, is the arch
itect in charge and his plans for the
work show many interesting points.

MODEST REPORT OF
THE GARDEN COUNTY
SUPERVISORS INTIMATE A FEW
FACTS ABOUT THE WAY
THEY RUN THINGS.

Contract work on roads is not as good
as or as profitable as, day labor under
direction of the county, says the report
of the Kauai supervisors made to the
legislature Friday and then proceeds
to prove it by figures. Although the
figures are vague they prove the Garden
Island contention SO far as to prove
that under the contract system, seven
and half miles of macadam road cost
the county $4965.55 per mile whereas
1925 miles of the same description of
road built by day labor cost an average
ci $S41l.S1 a mile.
But a chance for discrepancy in
real comparison exists in the fact that
while the Kauai supervisors averaged
their contract road expense during the
last biennial period they worked out
their average day labor cost per mile
from figures extending back into 1907
when the road graft wasn't the scien-
tifc art it is now.
Whichever way the figures might
point, however, the report of the Kauai
road engineer, ]. II. Moragne, shows
permanent and substantial progress in
road construction. The report empha-
sizes the fact that there were no ma
cadam roads ON the island before coun-
Is government.
MOragne reports the maeadamizing
outfit operated during twelve months
out of the tWenty-four during which
time considerable work was done for
private parties, netting the county
$l050 for matchmaking and smaller
sums for oiling. Only about thirteen
miles of government road was macad-
amized during this time from the coun-
ty plant.
There are a few inaccuracies in the
figures of the report really not worth
mentioning, few of them being as COM
pick as those in the report Of the dis
trict court which states that one man
was arrested for gross cheat Of whom
seven were males.
An interesting appendix to the report
was summary of what was needed and
what had been done towards a com
plete belt road for the Garden Island.
The figures show that tweuty.three
miles of it has been maeadamized,
twelve and quarter graded and ready
for maeadam, thirty-0ne and three quar-
tiers to be regarded, nineteen and a half
not graded, thirteen and a half to be
changed, making grand total of one
hundred miles of belt road.
Numerous bridges are needed, the
principal ones being q two-hundred-foot
bridge at Hanapepe and a one-hundred-
span at Kealia. The cul-
verts needed are all specified and re-
marks are appended concerning each
section of the road.

CHOLERA MAKING NO
HEADWAY IN CITY.

Two suspicious cases only marked
yesterdays developments in the chol-
era situation, the board of health re-
porting besides, as case number twenty
seven, that of Sam Hilo, referred to as
suspicious yesterday. One suspicious
case is contact in quarantine and the
other was that of an old lady who was
taken from an isolated house in Ka-
lihi.
No final diagnosis has been taken in
either case yet and even if it proves to
be cholera, both seem to stand fair
chance for recovery. Out of the TWEEN
ty-seyen listed cases there are six still
alive, all of whom will probably live
through it. Sam Hilo, yesterdays list.
ed case, showed SO few of the clinical
symptoms that the archaeological test
was made, to confirm the case.
Nearly all the Luso street cases have
been traced directly to the John All
Sing case, the disease being transmit
ted directly from one to the other and
as no new cases have appeared there,
that district is mot causing the trouble
it did several days ago.
The board of health has announced
the appointment of DR.. W. L. Moore
at the Kalihi quarantine hospital,
where he win assist Doctor wayson
in his work and also act as call physi-
clan. Doctor Moore volunteered his
services.
The names of every stallkeeper in
the fshmarket is being taken down and
individual notices will be served ON
them, probably by Monday, to screen
their counters. A protest is expected
but it will not do any good.

War Department En-
barrassed by Flood
of ACCeptanccs.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE war
department has been swamped with
acceptances of the invitations sent out
to officers of the various State and ter
ritorial national guard organizations,
and now the department has enough
militia officers on its hands to form
more than a full regiment.
In all, one thousand two hundred and
nine officers are anxious to go with the
regular army to observe the maneuv-
ers, among the aeceptances being those
of FIVE officers of the National Guard
of Hawaii.
It is impossible to accommodate all
these, but it has not yet been decided
how many invitations to withdraw or
an what manner the selection of the
national guardsmen viii be made.

GARIBALDI BLOOD
Split IN MEXICO
NEPHEW OF FAMOUS LIBERAToR
FAIbs WITH OTHER
FIGHTING MEN.

Ell PAso, Texas, March 12.-FulI
details of the battle of Casa Grande,
fought last Monday, show that the
losses of the revoiutiOnists were heavy,
among the fallen being some of the
leading characters of the insurgent
cause. The total loss to the Madrro
force was two mildred men. Among
these was Raoul Madero, brother Of
the Provisional President in the newly
acclaimed government. Gutierrez de
Larar, prominent Mexican of Los
Angeles, editor of a. revolutionary
newspaper, has died from the effect of
wounds received in the fierce fighting,
while fourteen Americans were picked
up dead from the field of battle.
One of the deaths among the revo-'
lutionists was that of Giuseppe Carl
baldi, nephew of the famous Italian
Liberator, who led detachment of
the rebels right up to the face of the
federal entertainments. His body was
given honorable burial by the federal
commander.
General Madero, who led his army
in person, was wounded in the arm,
but his injuries are not serious.

OLD
HEIRESS NEEDS MUCH

A petition was brought before Cir
cult Judge Robinson yesterday morn
ing by Col. Sam Parker, guardian Of
the person OF Miss Mary Beatrice
Campbell, youngest daughter of the
late Mr.. and Mrs. James Campbell, ask
ing the court to grant his ward an
extra allowance of $500 per month,
making a total monthly allowance of
$1,000, and in addition thereto q letter
Of credit for $4,000 to defray projected
travelling expenses to and in Europe
for one year. The request is made ON
the ground that Miss Campbell's pro-
jected expenses viii demand that she
have $4,000 per year on which to main
tain her social position and expenses
incident to travelling, while the addi-
tional $4,000 win be required for ex-
penditures which may arise during this
period. In other words, Colonel Parker
asks for $4,000 for a year, commencing
April /.
The request, however, is not made
with the consent of the trustees of the
Campbell estate, who are Cecil Brown,
A. n. Campbell and II. NJ. Won Holt,
while two of the sisters Of the ward,
the Princess Kawananakoa and Mrs.
Walter Maefarlane, win join with the
trustees. 1t is rumored that their OBJ
lection to so large a sum being granted
viii be made on the ground that such
a sum is far in excess of the needs of
a child fifteen and a half years of age.
The statement as to Miss Campbell's
age may surprise many who have re-
garded her as being much older. In
the petition ii is set forth that Miss
Campbell is more mature mentally and
than her age would suggest. !
The petition was brought into court
Yesterday morning, with Holmes q
Stanley appearing for the trustees and !
Lhe wards two sisters, while Il. Il.
Thompson appears for Colonel Parker l
ind the ward. It Is said that the $500 /
per month in addition to the 5000 Miss
Campbell receives Is 70 be paid out OF /
he general income OF the Campbell /
Estate, from which the Princess Kawa-
Mrs. Walter Macfsrlane and
Mrs Robert Single, the latter also a
lister, derive their income, and that
lnytking extra which Miss Campbell /
nay receive would lessen their own in
'ome.
The ease was set for hearing on Sat
lrday morning next.
fhe court has ordered q gusfdlan ad
