lady of the Hotel Delmonico, will be a
little more careful in fuure whom she
gives change to, after her interesting
experience of last night.
A soldier named ]. A. Walker and a
civilian asked for a room and the price
was set at $3.50. The civilian rendered
the landlady IS in gold and she went
to her room to get change.
On returning she met the soldier and
gave him the money, thinking that it
would be all the same.
Presently the civilian asked for his
change and then there were discus
sions, arguments, and explanations
Walker had disappeared and a posse of
dodgers went in search of him and
located him on Fort street. He was
stopped and a police officer sent for
who placed him under arrest and took
him back to the Delmonico where the
landlady identified him as the man to
whom she gave the money. Four dol

THE GREAT OAHU MOUNTAIN
TUNNEL IS ALMOST ASSURED

The field work i'm connection with
the proposed tunnel through the Koo-
lau range for the purpose of bringing
water from the windward side of the
island to the fields of the Oahu Sugar
Company, has about been completed,
and in all probability will be reported
as feasible by the engineers who have
been studying the matter.
Most of last week was spent by J.
b, Lippencotte and G. Worthen, the
experts brought here from Los An.
geles, in examining the southern side
of the range and in studying data
which had been gathered by previous
surveys.
It is now believed that with proper
laterals along the cliffs on the north
ern side of the range, the tunnel can
be made to supply upwards to twenty.
five million gallons of water per day,
as a minimum. It may run below this
but with an assurance of 100000
minimum the work would probably be
considered worth while.
There has been no extensive records
kept of the rainfall along the Pail
from which it is proposed to take the
water, so that an exact estimate of
what may be expected in way of supply
cannot be prepared, but rainfall rec

was not able to find the source of the
trouble close at hand" is the way he
put it.
"Cesspools are probably the most
fruitful source of trouble; then there
are roof cutters, tin cans, flower pots,
ant cups, holes in the ground which
hold water, etc. We were never able
to trace any serious trouble from rice
and taro fields-in fact, although l
paid particular attention to it, l was
never able to find more than few
scattered larvae in these open
places"
Mr.. Larnach stated that while he
was the only one devoting his whole
time to the work. the eight or ten
regular Board of Health inspectors as
sisted greatly by looking out for mos
quito breeding places in addition to
their regular duties. On Saturday aft
ernoons he used to pay these men for
| their time, and spend the entire aft
ernoon III going over the field.
THE ground had to be gone over
again and again, not less often than
once a week." said the attorney.
Could Control the Pest.
"a start was made on Thurston
avenue continued Mr.. Larnach, "and
we worked both ways from there,
after we had demonstrated in a small
area most positively that we could
control the pest. We had the city
laid out into blocks for our purpose,
and we covered it Systematically. We
had few laws then to help us, but l
ascribe the success of the whole un-
dertaking to the fact that everybody
seemed to be interested and anxious
to help. was never refused assist
ance from anyone in the city from
the Governor down. That is the only
secret. There were no big stick
methods-in fact, we didn't have any
clubs to use in case we had so de-
sired"
Mr.. Larnach would not be quoted
in regard to his opinion as to why
mosquitoes are today the bane OF
existence all over the city. He did
say however, that in his opinion $1,000
per month subscribed from the Ship
pers' Wharf Fund, which has been
spent for over a year, ought to have
been much more than enough to effect
a cure So far as he can estimate,
conditions which led to hisSbeing ap-
pointed in 1904 were simil& TO what
they are at present.

six or seven months, and then re-
signed to take up the study of law

other points on the north coast show
that the rainfall for July and August
has been below the normal for these
months. Considering therefore, that
at the present time the supply should
be at least at its average minimum,
there is evidence that twenty to TWEEN

The tunnel will be built with a ca
pacity of not less than 100 million ga-
Ions per day, and will probably be
lined completely with concrete so as

also be the feed canals and the outlet
bitches.
There will be absolutely no chance
of storing water on the windward side
Of the mountains, since the tunnel will
come out upon a nearly vertical cliff
about 200 feet above the sea level, and
the water taken from a series of
springs which come out of the face Of
the pail But it is likely that a number
of storage reservoirs of moderate size
may be practicable on this side of the
range, and the large size of the tunnel
will be intended to convey as much
storm water as possible during times
of abnormal rainfall, to these reser
voirs from which it may later be
drawn to the plantation

Estrays Must Be Inspected.

HELENA, Dec. 5.-Estrays a be
shipped from Montana only to market
points where the state maintains in.
spectors, decided the state board of
stock commissioners at its meeting
here yesterday.
The state maintains inspectors at
St. Paul, Sioux City, Omaha and
Chicago, so when estrays are found in
shipments from Montana consigned to
one of the markets they will be per-
mitted to go, but when found in ship
ments consigned to any other point, it
will be the duty of the inspector or
sheriff inspecting the shipment at
loading point, to cut out and turn
back estrays.
This question arose in connection
with the increasing number of live.
stock shipments from Montana to
Pacific coast points this season. The
board divided the state into fourteen
districts, the same as last year.

Eaten Livestock On Beet Pulp.

BILLINGS, Dec. 5.-The feeding Of
beet pulp, sugar beet tops, sugar beet
syrup and alfalfa, has become an i'm.
portant industry in the Yellowstone
valley, and the largest single stock
feeding outfit in the state is at the To-
cal sugar factory, handled by Charles
O'Donnell, David Frat and Frank
O'Donnell. They are fattening 1000
cattle and 10000 sheep. The feed lots
cover nearly 100 acres.
Immense quantities of alfalfa and
str aw feed are used in connection with
the beet pulp. Alfalfa is also ground
and mixed with the beet syrup to make
q balanced ration for both sheep and
cattle. All of the stock Is being
brought to a high finish aud finds a
ready market, mostly TO the west or
Pacific coast.
One of the features OF the feed lots
this winter is q shorthorn steer from
off the range, which weighs also
pounds, and which they expect to
bring up to $500. by spring.
In addition to the cattle and sheep
at the sugar factory there are about
5000 cattle aud 5 $1,000 sheep on alfalfa
in the valley, while many more are
expected in before winter comes.
Among the larger feeders are Hesper
farm with 5000 sheep; Rea Bros, with
5000 sheep; j. B. Long with 5000
sheep.

HUMAN LIFE BRAVES
NIAGARA FALLS AGAIN

The second human being that has
ever passed over the great cataract of
Niagara and lived to tell the tale is
Bobby Leach, of Niagara. He made
the perilous trip Saturday afternoon,
and but few people saw the daring eX-
plot. A tremendous gale on Lake
Erie had caused rise of several feet
in the Niagara and over the great
Canadian falls was pouring an ncreas-
ed and terrific volume of water. Con.
ditions were, therefore, very favorable
for the venture, but Leach had great
trouble in lodging the police, both on
the Canadian and United States sides.
He finally got away from LaSalle,
five miles above the cataract, and with
the barrel was tOwed across to Navy
Island near the Canadian shore. There
he was safe from police interference
and lie proceeded to get in place in the
hammock, which was slung inside the
barrel. This barrel is of steel, eleven
feet long, with the ends of WOOD, and
is cigar shaped. The barrel was cast
adrift opposite the village of Chippewa,
two miles above the brink of the cata-
ract. For one mile it drifted in the
swift current until it encountered the
first line of breakers.
There is descent of sixty feet in
the next mile and the barrel received
terrific pounding in the famous upper
rapids. 1t was few minutes after 3
o'clock when it plunged from the brink
and there was great anxiety felt by
the few hundred of people watching
the spectacle, until there was seen the
barrel as red dot in The swirling foam
at the foot of the falls. 1t was fortu.
nately caught in the main current and
carried down the river where it was
taken in tow. As soon as possible
Leach was removed from his queer
craft. He was badly bruised and bat
tered, but was able to stand on his feet
and wave at the crowds on the bridge
and the banks.
The first person to ever pass over the
falls and live is Mrs. Anna Edson Tay-
lor, of Niagara Falls, N. Y, who made
the trip in barrel on, October24, 1901.
