CANNOT GET LABOR.

HILO, Aug BIN speaking of the
present breakwater contract on which
he is working, E. ]. Lord, of the firm
of Lord & Young, made the statement
this week that with the existing condi'
tions it would be impossible for him
to finish within the required time and
that he was in hopes of obtaining an
extension of at least five months on
the work. The labor situation was re.
sponsible in a very large part for this,
ne stated, and he was only placing
half the rock in the structure which
he would be able to handle if he could
get all the men that he wanted.
In 81 ealling of this and other mat
tiers he said:
at is practically impossible to get
labor at present, and in the last month
| have spent at least $500 in advertis-
ing and sending out runners for work
men and still have not been able to

in about four hundred tons of rock
per day, when, with the new derrick
which has been placed in position at
the quarry, we should be able to han
die at least seven hundred tons, if we
had the men TO do the work. For the
past two or three days we have also
been short of cars, which has held us
up somewhat.
, I'm regard to the new contract, our
firm is in a very good position to bid,
and we expect to win out We have
our entire quarry equipment now, and
: only need a crane to be placed at the
end of the -superstructure and the
| track out to it in order to be ready to
start the work.
In regard to the belt road work,
our firm is prepared to bid on this if
the contracts are large enough to
make it worth while 1t would not,

satisfactory at the best"

KRAKAToA's SUBMERGED
CRATER.

During the frightful explosion of
the volcano of Krakatoa, in the Strait
of Sunda in 1883, large part of the
Island of Krakatoa was blown away,
and the sea took it's place. Not long
afterward measurements were made
OF the shape and depth of the cavity
left covered with water at the north
ern end of the disrupted island. The
results were published by DR.. Verbeek
in 1886. Lately DR.. Van Bemmelen has
remeasured the submerged basin
formed by the explosion, and he finds
that within the partial ring formed by
the three remaining islands of the
Krakatoa group there is a central
basin, oval in shape, and with a fairly
level floor, having depth over a con-
siderable area of 800 feet Campari-
son with the former measure indi-
Gates that there has been no change
In the sea-hoor during the interven-
ing years. There is so sign of vol
canic activity.

held in the offices of President Harry
Irwin last Tuesday afternoon, at

ganization was manifest through the

understood that several more appli-
cations will be filed in the near future.
The announcement was made that
one of the courts was ready for play
while the second should be in good
shape within a feW~days, as a large
force of men was started to work on
it yesterday morning and there will
be no delay till it is completed.
The annual election of officers took
place with the following result:
President, Harry Irwin; captain Of
the courts, George A. Cool; secretary

RUSHING BUSINESS.

There is one man in Honolulu with
a smile that won't come of" 1t is
Newell, the expert vulcanizer in Ala
kea street. When he started business a
few months ago his friends shook
their heads and said things about a
man who would begin business in the
face of the dull season of the year. In
place of running into dull season.,
however, Newell has met with a har-.
vest, which has increased in size and
Importance as it has progressed.
Newell has the advantage of under
standing his business thoroughly. =

from the sale of public property in
Hilo and the vicinity. The disposition
of this money has always been en-
veloped in more or less of mystery
although the territorial administration
has time and time again assured Hilo
that it acted the part of a beneficent
providence, and that when Hilo, so
TO speak, cast her bread upon the
water by letting go of her public real
estate, she would reap a manifold re-
turn in the way of improvements pur-
chased with the money secured by
the territory from such sales.
This interesting and popular legend
has now been revived by Governor
Frear and the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, who point with pride-yes,
that's the word-they point with pride
tc the oft-repeated promise that money
secured from Hilo land sales should
be spent right in Hilo. In this in
stance the bait is being held out in
reference to the proposed armory site
sale, the powers-that-be laying much
stress on their intention to spend in
Hilo, notably for the purchase of front
age needed for the widening of Front
street, the proceeds derived from the
sale of the armory site.
For, say these officials, the money
we receive from the sale of Hilo prop.
erty, is used for the direct benefit OF
Hilo
Strange to say, the county officials
do not appear to be oyer-enthusiastiC
over the prospects of seeing a big wad
of coin coming this way. They main
tain an incredulous, one might say
sneering attitude. 1t looks almost as
if they did not believe the promise
from Honolulu. They ask one ques
! ton, namely, what has become of the
money derived from sales of Hilo pub
{ lie property during the past year OIL
So and in this connection the follow
ing list, which may be only partial, has
been compiled:

The car is coming completely equip

are doing breakwater work at that

both first and second-class compart-

engine and will be able to haul a reg

seating capacity is desired. 1t will
have a maximum speed of forty-five
miles an hour.

money has been spent for the benefit
