WORD ABOUT KOREANS
NOW HELD IN MEXICO

An interesting letter was received in
the recent mail from the Coast from
Harry Wicks, who has had much ex-
perienee in the Territory IN regard to
sugar plantations and their work. As
this question of the Koreans in Mexico
was discussed in this city recently with
considerable interest, and even pro
posals made to raise the money to
bring them here, the letter, which is as
follows, is a timely one:
-"Oakland, Calf, May s, 1911.

ONE HALF HARBOR
DREDGING FINISHED
HARDEST PART OF THE WORK is
DONE = MONGOLIA
TOMORROW.

About one-half of the dredging of
the new section of Honolulu harboB has
been completed by the Hawaiian Dredg-
ing Company, and the hardest part of
the work has been put through. The
dredging company was face to face with
the unloosening of tons and tons Of
virgin coral on the lower side of the
harbor, the coral reaching up almost to
the surface of the water. This had to
be broken out with dynamite to thirty
FIVE feet. The blasting went en- night
after night for weeks but the dynamite
shed on Sand Island has been emptied
Of its explosives, the drilling machine
has been towed away and now only the
big dredger Governor is at work with
its big scoop clearing out the debris.
The greater part of the work to be
done ON the remaining half is to clear
out mud so that a uniform depth OF
thirty-fve feet win be attained. The
new section which has been dredged en-
larges the harbor and where was once
q coral reef viii now be deep water
deep enough for any of the big liners
to float in.
The channel has yet to be dredged
but the contractors have been granted
delay for starting the work. The
channel has shOaled in many places. Tho
dredged material win be dumped ont6
the Fort Armstrong reservation ant
much of it transported to Fort de Russy
by the rapid transit to be used as
facing on the battery emplacements.

STOLEN CAMERA
IS RECOVERED
SAN FRANCISCO DEALERS Assist
LOCAL FIRM m RE
CovERY.


Stolen from the counter of the Ho-
nolulu Photo Supply Company on Feb
ruary %.
Found in San Francisco in April.
Lost again,
Finally recovered few days ago in
San Francisco.
The above, in tabloid form, is the
novel experience of a $122 ga GraAex
camera, which arrived ON the S. s. VIII
helmina and is today exhibited in the
windows Of the photo company as an
exhibit in a clever bit of detective and
tracing work.
/ The camera, which was new and fitted
with AN expensive lens, was used on
1 Washington s birthday by George. s.
Young, an employee OF the firm, to Sc
cure iilms of tine parade, many of which
I were to fill orders, and was taken from
the counter of the store during an in
terval OF ten minutes while Mr.. Young
turned to wait on customer. AS there
were hundreds of customers in the store
! that daysand two steamers leaving, one
for the Coast and one for the Orient,
the chance of recovering the stolen
property seemed very small.
Mr.. Warren, the manager, however
at once notified the Eastman Kodak
Company, Hirsch & Kaiser of San Fran
cisco, dealers with whom he was in con
tinual correspondence, and they in turn
sent out circular letters to each photo
dealer in San Francisco, giving the
number of the camera, description, etc

ONE PER CENT TAXES,
SAYS THE Assessor

From January 1 to May II, this
year, the sum of $4,000 has been
collected in taxes, according to a
statement made by Tax Assessor Viii
der yesterday afternoon. Last year,
from January to May 81, the amo mt
collected was $792,622. Probably
$4,000 more will come in before May
81 next. Last year the full sum col
lected was virtually $1,5OO,OOO. An
amount equal to more than half this
total has already been placed in the
public Golfers. 1t represents what is
officially called the "frst half" but
that half is generally more than the
second "half.n The reason for this II
that the first half includes the specific
taxes, such as road and auto taxes, etc
tfI do not think the tax rate need bt
more than one per cent, - the assessor
remarked; "there is no reason why il
should. -

Honolulu, Hawaii, May IL, 1911.
Mr.. Fred l.. Waldron, Chairman, Spe-
cial Committee, Merchants Asso
citation, Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-I now own receipt of
your favor of the 4th inst, contents
of which have had the careful consid-
Grafton of this committee.
This committee regrets that it can
not agree with yourself and your as
soeiates thsf the provision desired in
the matter of some assurance from the
Merchants Association of Honolulu re-
speeting a proposed continuance of the
so called shippers wharf tax should
be construed in any way as an arbi-
trary ruling. All that this committee
desired was to reach some mutual UNI.
derstanding in regard to the continu-
ance of the tax, depending on which
would naturally rest any proposed re-
organization of the present committee.
At meeting of the committee held
this day formal action was taken IN
this matter which you win find em-
bodied in the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted and
which trust you will find self-ex-
planatory:
heSOlNeusl lndL pue bHlpPeIp WhuA L
committee learns with regret that its
proposal to the Merchants Association
of Honolulu. under which that asso-
citation would join in the maintenance
and administration of the quarantine
wharf tax, is not acceptable to the COM
mittee of the association; and further
that the shippers wharf committee de-
sires to know from the merchants as
sociation whether it now contemplates
advising its members to decline to ac-
cept bills-of.lading with the present
wharfage tax clause sureharged there
on, and, in the event that the tax is
to cease to be collected, it is the sense
of this committee that reasonable no
tice should be so given, in order that
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
and the Hawaii Promotion Committee
which latter organization this commit
| tee understands shares in a portion OF
the funds at present being distributed
to the former body, may adjust theiI
finances. Very truly yours,
II. H. PETRIE,

The old rumor Of a portion Of The

this year has been uneWed and among
naval people there "a a feeling that at
least four Of the big cruisers Of tho
fleot win be sent here in the early
part Of the fall.
Just at present all tho vessels, not
in dock, arc engaged along the Pacific
Coast. The vessels are taking their
tirns in the drydock for repairs and
for changes in the upper gear. Bird
