SURVEY WORK ON HAWAII.

HILO, February 2.-The prelimin-
airy work on the topographic survey
of Hamakua and Kohala districts.
which has been going on for the past
three months under the direction of
w. II. Barringer of the Federal SER
vice, has been practically completed
and next week G. H. Birdseye, who
has charge of all the work of this
kind in the Territory, will arrive from
Honolulu to start the actual topo-
graphic work. He will bring with
him three assistants and each of these
will take charge of a separate party
which will handle work in the field
The assistants whom Mr.. Birdseye-
will bring with him the Messrs. A
I. Fowler, A. j. Ogle and o C. Tay-
Tor and each of these will need five
men to assist in the work. Almost
all of these will be picked up on this
island. The work will be similar to
that which has been done on the is
land of Kauai and when the district
in which Mr.. Barringer has located
the levels is completed, it is expected
that the work will be started either
in Hilo or in Kona.
The party of engineers in charge
of w. H. Barringer of the U. s.
Geological Survey Waimea who has
been working in recently is rapidly
drawing its work to a close having
completed a net work of level lines
around the Hamakua and Kohala dis
tricts, which portion of the island is
soon to be mapped

SCHOOL IN THE PARK.

HILO, February 2-The bandstand
at Mooheau Park has been converted
into a schoolroom by the county ia
theirs, on account Of the fact that the
accommodations at the Riverside
School are inadequate and the County
has no funds at present with which
to build an addition. One class, un-
der the charge of Miss Lewis, moved
into their new quarters last Monday
and seem to enjoy the new accom-
modations. This class formerly oc-
cuipied the basement of the Riverside
building and it was so damp in the
present weather that it was thought
best TO make the change.

trict, died at halfpast six o'clock yes
terday afternoon at the family resi-.
dence on Beach street, death occurring
chiefly from old age The deceased
has been for years, identified with the
prominent church workers here and
his passing away terminates useful
and happy life. Useful because of his
many kind acts to his fellowmen. and
happy as a result of the pleasure he
gained in doing for others. His hap
piest moments, however, were those ne
passed in recounting old Hawaiian
legends to cluster of youngsters who
were always eager to hear bill, the
wonderful storyteller," tell them one
OF his interesting stories, and it is safe
TO predict that many little hearts were
made sad last night upon learning of
the end of their dear, good, old friend

years old and is survived by a widow

Per month, was passed at the meet
ing of the Supervisors yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t was introduced and
warmly supported by Koomoa and
passed with his vote and those of
Austin, Kauhane and Beckley, with
Lyman working against it vigorously.
Lyman stated that there was no money
to pay for an engineer and no road
work to be done but the filling of
chuckholes, until the Legislature
should meet. He said that nothing
should be done till it was found
whether that body would give the
county something for a belt road.
DR.. Archer Irwin was appointed
Road Supervisor Of North Hilo, with
out compensation. Lyman saying
that he wondered if he had been en-
dorsed by the county committee.
Oliver Akau was appointed luna of
the Kau four mile road at 500 per
month and will also take the place
of one of the guards. Julian Monstr-
ratt was appointed inspector, to be
given six cents per mile travelling.

SCHOOL sELF-eovERNMENT.

Pupil self government, to a linn
tied degree, has had a fair trial with
encouraging results at Hanapepe
School
The fundamental object of the or
ganization is to develop within each
pupil sense of accountability for
his conduct to the pupil community,
and to make the community feel that
it has the right and the power to
hold each pupil responsible for his
acts.
The organization is not designed
to supersede the authority of the
teacher. 1t is however, helpful
1t is wholly the pupils affair; makes
practical, to fit the conditions of a
pupil body
They resent any interference in
matters that come within their sphere
of action.
1t is a serious matter with them.
Like the grown up they desire office
and jealousy guard it's dignity.
The pupil citizen respects and re-
CARDS the mandates coming from the
pupil organization equal to those
from the teacher. In fact it surprises
enc to see in what a complacent and
matter of fact way an offender takes
his sentences.
The pupils have a keen sense of
right and wrong and can be trusted
to meet out justice.
There is that same regard for
public sentiment among the young
sters that influences the older COM
munity. Officers lose no prestige by
efficiency in doing their duty; but
several have been removed for not.
At first the pupils did not so seri-
ously consider the organization, but
row their civic obligations are taken
as earnestly by them as by Older
people.

continue, for the pupils will call fo

RAPozo FOUND DEAD.

KEALIA, January 30.-This place
was the scene of unusual excitement
when it was learned early this morn
in5 that the body of J. ]. Rapozo, a
well-known resident, had been found
lying in a ditch, partly submerged and
cold in death. The gruesome discOv-
cry was made about five o'clock this
morning by Mr.. and Mrs. Llama who,
on learning that Mr.. Rapozo had not
returned from neighborhood house
where he was known to have gone the
evening before, started out to look for
him. Upon discovering the body of
the unfortunate man, the police was
notified at once, as was also the doc
tor, who on arriving, and making a
hurried examination, said death had
occurred some hours before. 1t seems
that Mr.. Rapozo called on one of his
neighbors last evening, and about eight
o'clock, started home. At the request
OF his friend he was escorted part of
the way home by two little boys who
carried a lantern and whom he dis
missed with a pleasant good night
and proceeded on alone. This is the
last seen of him alive, and it is gem
orally supposed that he somehow lost
his way in the dark and fell into the
ditch in such a way as to prevent his
making an cutlery. Mr.. Rapozo has
been a resident here for many years,
and was considered thoroughly reH-
able man, occupying at the time of his
death a position as steam pillow engi-
need which he filled in a most highly
satisfactory manner He was a mem,

HAWAII MUCH IN DEBT.

HlLO, February 2.-The annual
report of County Auditor Charles
Mcguire, which was presented to the
BOARD of Supervisors yesterday is
chiefly of interest in showing how
deeply the county is in debt and
what strenuous means must be taken
to get out. According to the report
the overdraft on the road fund
amounts to $57,396 60 up To January
/, with a balance left on hand OF
$19,602 80, leaving a total deficit of
S317936S. This is not a true state
ment of the actual finances of the
county at thag time, however, for
bills for large sums were incurred
during the month of December, which
had not been presented for payment
whom the accounts for the year of
1910 were closed. The true deficit
will be in the neighborhood OF
$4,000.
The total receipts of the County in
the general fund are shown to be

THE DANGEROUS KELIINor

The fact that Holstein is now certain.
II he has not been so right along, of
being elected Speaker of the House. is
most satisfactory, not only to the resi-
dents of this island, but to the sane
and conservative members of the COM
munities of the various Islands as we'll.
Holstein knows how to rule the House:
he has shown that in the past, and the
only really damning thing which has
been said against him is that he would
be run by u. S. District Attorney
Breckons, and nothing has been shown
which would substantiate that report.
That Holstein will come out the win
ner in the scrap with Keliinoi is, how
ever, not the most satisfactory thing
about this affair. That Keliinoi has
lost out is still better. 1t was bad
enough to try to GUST without reason.
/ or at most with only the shadow of one,
the man who had made good in the
past, but to place in his place Sam Ke-
hlnoi, of all men, was utterly absurd.
The Tribune has absolutely nothing to
say about this gentleman's personality
as a matter Of fact, he is an extreme
ly likeable individual-but as a legis-
lator he stands for all that is evil and
undesirable in proposed legislation.
His announced program contains prop
ositions which are as dangerous as dy~
Mantle in the irresponsible hands of
the Maui delegation. Keliinoi has
placed himself at the head of those
who, finding the conservatism and
comparative decency of the territorial
administration an obstacle in the way
OF their unhallowed ambitions, seek to
lurther their plans by transferring ter
rltorlal powers, and jobs, to the coun.
Ties in the hope that they may in this
manner be better able to carry out
their plans. To place such a man at
the head of the House would be to
make the worst possible start for the
session, and the fact that the legis.
lators, or at least, majority of them.
have declined to do so is a very hope
ful sign.-Hilo Tribune.
