The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-02-17
Inter-Island Brevities

HlLO. Feb. 14.-The Tribune says
It is going to be war, merry war, on
the proposition of the construction of
sidewalk on Front street between Moo
heau Park and WaiaXes. The holders
of lots, who have been ordered ;oI
build sidewalks before March 10, de-
clare that they intend to utterly disre
gard the notice, and that they will let
the territory take the first move.
The storm seems to a great extern
to be due to what the DIRECTORS term
the law disregarding attitude of the
territory. 1t is pointed out that su-
perintendent Of Public Works Marston
Campbell has given notice that within
sixty days of Jan, 10 the sidewalk
must be constructed on the mauka
side of Front street, and at the same
time he is giving notice of the sale
of several lots, within the area COW
cred by the sidewalk notice, in which
it is stated that a condition of the
sale will be that purchaser must build
sidewalks outside their property. AS
the sidewalks, according to the notice
must be constructed before March 10,
and as the sale of the lots mentioned
does not take place before April s,
the critics of the administration are
drawing the conclusion that the ter
ritory does not intend to construct
sidewalks outside its own lots, but
that it will make all the other proper
ty owners do so before March 10, or
institute proceedings as provided byi
law as the notice says.
This condition has been pointed oat
to Campbell by Attorney Wise, who
made the application for the sale of
the lots mentioned. Wise by the way,
is much in favor of the construction
Of sidewalk to Waiakea, but he
states that he does not think it prop
er that the territory should force
people to obey orders, with which It
itself will not comply, and in recent
letter to the superintendent of public
works he pointed out that this atti-
tude does seem rather paradoxical.
In the mean time it seems as if many
of the holders of lots affected by the
notice are going to hold out against
the territory. Most of them are poor
people, Hawaiians, Portuguese and jap
anese, but they travel with the plu-
tocrats, for the Bishop Estate seems
to be right in line with them.
When the supervisors passed the
resolution calling for the construction
of the sidewalk mentioned, it was Civ
EN- out that the poor people living on
the lots affected thereby, would not
suffer, as they lived on land leased
from the Bishop Estate, which would
have to construct the sidewalks.
Bishop Estate" said the county faith
ers. "Eave 'alf a brick at 'im," and
the resolution passed, Now, however,
it appears that most of the leases
from the Bishop Estate, if not all, con-
tain clause whereby the tenants are
compelled to pay for all such Improve
ments.
when | was in Honolulu, I saw
Manager Dodge, of the Bishop Estate"
said Heen. "He told me that the es-
tate was not going to comply with the
notice It was going to see what the
territory was going to do first"

BUT ONE THIRD OF
PEACH CROP DEAD

Of Agriculture

Atlanta, March Reports received
at the State Department of Agriculture
from all parts of Georgia indicate that
SO 1-3 per cent. Of the peach crop was
killed by the recent cold wave aud at
tending frosts.
While the exact amount Of the dam
age suffered in the different localities
is to a certain extent vague on account
of the fact that conflicting reports have
been received, the above estimate, it
is thought, covers the damage.
The estimate of damage is based
mainly upon the reports from different
sections, the majority of which are to
the effect that the damage to the trees
with blooms was 80 per cent. while to
the trees with buds it is not thought to
be greater than % per cent.

WRECK OF THE MAINE AS IT is TODAY.
seriously interferes with the action of
the tide, and therefore the entire har-
Dor is rapidly filing.
1t will be necessary, should the wreck
remain, to begin dredging in order to
provide for the large amount Of ship
ping now entering the harbor. Pow
erful Cuban and American commercial
interests have urged the necessity Of
removing the wreck, even going so far
as to organize a stock company to ac-
cOmplish this object.
Out of the revival of the old Maine
matter protrudcs still. as ever up to
this time, the question of whether or
not the Maine was blown up malicious
ly by agents working in the interest of
the Spanish government. If it wasn't
blown up in that manner, then its de-
struction was accidental, due to an I'M
expected explosion in the powder mag
aZine. The board of inquiry which
made an exhaustive examination and
detailed report was of the opinion that,
inasmuch as the bottom plates of the
ship were turned inward, the explo-
sion must have been from without.
An explosion on the battleship
Georgia in 1907, however, and SUISSE
quent like occurrences leave little
doubt that it was easily possible for
the Maine to have gone down as she
did from an inside explosion
The shock Of sundering steel plates
had hardly sent its message culver
ing through the frame Of the doomed
vessel before brave Bill Anthony, now
dead. Il perfect picture of composure
and discipline, was quietly saluting
the captain in charge now Rear Ad-
miral Sigsbee. and announcing:
II have the honor to report. sir, that
the ship is sinking"
A nation cheered that act Of hero
ism.

why PLAIN GIRLS
GO TO College
They are Getting Ready for
Self Support

Wellesley, Mass, March Miss
Imogen Kelly, of Brooklyn, known as
the smartest-dressed girl at Welles-
ley college, admits that the college girl
is palmer than her stay-at-home Sis
ter, and that the reason why she be-
takes herself to some institution Of
learning is because she realizes that
her appearance is against he entering
wedlock and decidedly in favor Of her
having to support herself through life.
Miss Kelly says:
The unattractive girl, to equalize
her chances for a husband with the
less plain girl must do so by getting
an education. | do not mean to con-
vey the idea that all girls here or ut
colleges generally are plain; but the
majority of college girls possess that
quality of good looks which warns
them that it is better to prepare for
future self-support than to depend on
the chances of marrying"

eternity, and to mark the event fitting
ly and to offer a small tribute to the
brave fellows whose lives were suuffed
out in the catastrophe a well organ
lied movement has been started to
erect a monument to them either at
Arlington or d point which viii be Sc
lected later.
The plan Of raising the necessary
money for this memorial is one which
allows even the poorest citizen to par
ticipate and is for that reason most
commendable. A membership fee in
the memorial association is 81, and the
subscriber receives a certificate Of
membership and a black silk navy cap
ribbon. On this is worked in gold
wire the inscription, Member Maine
NJ. A" In the cornerstone of the mon
ument are to be placed the names Of
those who joined the association.
There is every reason to believe that
the desired amount of money will be
! subscribed without frequent appeals to
the patriotism of the public. While il
may not be the duty Of the people to
erect this monument, they should be
gratiied that an opportunity is offered
to share in the tribute to the Maine
dead. Rear Admiral Sigsbee is now
the president of the Maine Monument
association, and the matter Of erecting
a suitable memorial is to be pushed.
The plans for a national subscrip-
| ton have been perfected with head
! quarters for the receipt of contribu-
tions by mail and otherwise in Wash
! ington. The work of distributing the
ribbons and obtaining members has
been taken up by women in New York,
Boston, Washington and elsewhere
| and in the schools.
| President Taft is determined to
raise and remove the wreck Of the
| battleship Maine. Since it was sent
| to the bottom in Havana harbor on
Feb. TO- 1898, it has been a serious
menace to the shipping Of the harbor
| as it occupies a portion Of the best
anchorage. The obstruction has in
| creased annually by causing ShOal
