COREWALL IS NEARLY COMPLETED.
Visit Stony Brook Shows That Excellent Progress Has
 Been Made-Short Dam Will be Started Very Soon

All the members of the board of water commissioners with Supt J. J. Corkery, Civil Engineer C. E. Chand- Ter and number of citizens visited stony Brook on Monday afternoon to inspect the work and note the progress made during the past few weeks Everything is going along well at the nek reservoir and at the present time Contractor Petrossi has ms men at work on the dam and re- moving the muck from the center of the basin.
 He has 142 men and 29 teams at work there on Monday, several of the men having left to go back to the old country. The eorewall for nearly two thirds of the distance has been com pleted to the full heighth of 32 feet. There remains a section on the north end to be poured but that will be put in today it is expected. Thereafter there will be section of the wall on the south end which has been left open to allow teams to haul in dirt for the embankment which will not be filled until that work is well along While on the north end the corewall will be built into the bank there about thirty feet of it to be built there
 Filling In Steadily.
 The embankment is steadily rising being now ten feet from the top of the corewall, but it will be carried three feet above the wall Dirt for this fill is being secured from the hill below the dam and also from the hill to the north end of the dam. Dynamite and powder are used to loosen the dirt in the hillside. Digging under the bank at the bottom for distance of ten to fifteen feet large charge of explosive is placed in that small tunnel, which Is then filled up and the explosive set off This shakes the dirt up in great shape and on the south side enough dirt was brought down by this method to keep the carts busy for fourteen days. AS fast as the bank rises the sides are paved and riprapped the fill growing narrower as it hears the top.
 The last section of tn gatehouse is ready to be poured and that will be in today said Contractor Petrossi, the platform running out to it on which the concrete will be wheeled being on 9 level with the walk which will go out to the gatehouse when completer. Above the concrete work will be a small covered house.
 Just as soon as the corewall men finish the big wall they will be put onto the second ram which is but about one third the size of the one nearing completion. The long one is

UNANIMOUS FOR SCHOOLS.

The largest business interests OF the Territory OF Hawaii,
the people paying the largest amount OF personal and proper
b taxes came into the open Monday and expressed their
unqualified approval Of the practical plan placed before the
Legislature to make proper provision for the public schools
and the public school children of Hawaii ne.
In other Words the business men have not only let it "be
generally UNDERSTOOD that they believe in caring first for the
Schools but their open and personal endorsement OF the
program presented to the Legislature has made them active
factors in the campaign for the soCaIed School Fund bill
now before the Senate.
would seem therefore that in the movement for the sup
port and heerment OF the public schools, the people and
the interests of Hawaii are absolutely unanimous.
The bill under discussion has the support
First of the Republican party through the platform pledge
made by every candidate.
Second of the voters of the Territory who sent an over
whemng majority of Republican representatives to the
Legislature
Third, of the Governor of the Territory who has studied
the school needs and adjusted the ntrCaCes of the law
Fourth, of the Department of Public Instruction, that
knows the school needs and understands the technical de-
tails of educational work.
Fifth of The leading taxpayers of the Territory who must
eventually pay the bills incurred in the education of awas
children.
Gentlemen of the Legislature what more do you desire?
You look to your constituents If the people who have
added their votes and voices to the slogan "the schools
first do not represent the people and interests for whom
you are expected to act, who and what does?
We believe that the Legislature in this instance will take
the same view of it that the B Bulletin does, namely
"Provide first for the children

done-Pacifc Commercial Adj
yertiser.
This can be read TO mean only one
thing, to-Wit, that in the estimation
of the morning paper the people do
not read its advertising columns.
If people do not read the adver-
tised laws published in the morning
paper, certainly they do not read the
advertising columns of that publica-
ton in which the business houses and
others of the city are represented.
The expression from the morning pa
per is nothing if not an admission of
its own experience with the people
and confession of the lack of value
OF its advertising section.
The B u letin cannot join in this
conclusion, because, judging from the
interest taken by the people in the
ordinances, acts and general advertis-
ing published in the columns of this
l.
do not read the (Bul letin) adyer-
tised laws"
No doubt the morning paper speaks
in all sincerity from it's own exper-
fence. The Bul letin is equally
sincere and has absolute proofs of
the accuracy of its conclusions.
The city and the Territorial adver-
Using is not in the estimation of this
paper, overdone. nor is money wasted
on this advertising though of course
we must allow the Advertiser to
speak for itself so far as the use of
it's columns is concerned.
The people do read the ordinances
and the people do read the published
laws.
With ninety-nine persons out of a
hundred, the only source of informa-
ton they have on the laws and the
ordinances is obtained through the
newspapers. Only five or six hun
dfed copies of the session laws are
printed each year. Not more than
two or three hundred copies of the
city ordinances are printed.
The advertising columns of the
newspaper is therefore the only
source of fully detailed information
hat the general public has of the or
dnances proposed, the ordinances fin
ally passed and of the laws passed by
the Legislature.

LOCAL Terms
PUZZLE smith

(Which side of the road, makai or
mauka?" asked the prosecuting at
torney
Honolulu SIDE" said the witness.
"Yes; but which side of the road?"
asked the attorney.
well, Honolulu-Hotel SIDE" said
the witness.
well, Is it on the Berlin side of
the road?' the court suggested with
smile.
'Well, this side and Honolulu side,
all the same" said the witness.
All these question and answers
caused general merriment in police
court this morning. Fred Smith, a
special officer appeared against two
Japanese charged with assault and
battery. Smith, who is German by
birth speaks very little English. On
this account special officer Max w.
Bergau, of Chief McDufIie's detective
staff acted as a German Interpreter,
Bergau speaks several languages.
During the Interrogation of the wit
ness, Bergau used the English, Ger
man and Hawaii languages jointly.
This puzzled Smith, who raised his
legs onto the railing of the witness
stand in order to catch the signs.
He broke out in German and Bergau,
answered him back in German. But
when Bergau used the Hawaiian term
"makai and mauka." Smith, extending
his arms outward, said, it was on
Honolulu side"
Smith said finally, it was on the
Honoulu-Hotel side of the road,
which meant on the mauka side of the
road The exchange of questions and
answers were sufficient to amuse
those in Judge Lymer's court room
this morning. Smith stated on the
stand that he was trying to stop a
fight between two Japanese in store
and that he was simply performing the
duties of his Office, for which he re-
ceives no wages or thanks That
while stopping the two Japanese from
fighting each other, one of them
throttled him.
1t was on this account that he ar
rested the two japanese who appeared
in court this morning. Their names
are Fijukawa and Yoshikawa. One
of them carried a lish-knife. Defen-
dant Fuilkawa was discharged for
lack of evidence.
Smith stated ON a witness stand
that he had been special officer al
most continuously, since the Wilcox
revolution in 1895.

KEEN RIVALRY
FOR THE MAILS

While il Is not likely that the Mat
son Navigation Company will attempt
to bring steamer within the harbor
of Honolulu at the witehing but un-
christian-like hour of midnight again,
the steamer Wilhelmina, bearing
Uncle Sans mails, which transpor-
tation is understood to have netted
the company over one thousand dol
lars. was evidently considered suf-
ficient incentive to cause the officers
to force the new liner at little fast
er clip.
The Wilhelmina came alongside her
wharf about | o'clock this morning.
The vessel was met at the quaran-
tine by DR.. Marshall, who agreeably
performed his inspection of some six
ty odd sleepy passengers. A squad
of customs men and United States
Mail officials appeared little the worse
for wear because of the rather extra
ordinary duty attached to the
bringing in of the Wilhelmina at the
midnight hour.
The steamer brought 1913 sacks of
mail. The vessel sailed from San
Francisco at noon while the Pacific
Mail intermediate liner Asia pulled
away one hour later
Eyes" 'the Wilhemina got the Ho-
nolulu mail" admitted Pacific Mail
official this morning, but you must
not overlook the fact that there is
little chance for a try out of speed
between twenty-six year old steam
er and one that has not been in COM
mission five years.
THE Asia can make good time, and
| presume could go as we'll if not bet
ter than the Wilhelmina. The ques-
ton with us is whether it pays to
shovel in the additional coal The
Matson steamer is burning oil and
the fuel used in the ship is, so we
understand, the product from the
wells Of her principal owner. To the
Pacific Mail there would have been
little profit to have increased the
speed of the Asia, which is now
placed in a seven-day class schedule
between San Francisco and Honolulu,
even had we been able to draw down
thousand dollars or more as pay
ment for carrying this amount of
mail. AS | understand it there is con-
siderable less than this amount paid
to foreign bottom for the trans
portation of mails between two Amer
lean ports OF call
The Wilhelmina brought 1880 tons
general cargo for this port. For Hilo
there is about a thousand tons addi-
tional freight. Of the passengers who
left the vessel at Honolulu are Cap
tain Matson, who is making the round
trip in the vessel Judge S. M. Ballou,
who was one of the speakers at the
conference of the Navy League in Los
Angeles; Mrs. A. Lindsay, wife of the
attorney-general, and her child; F. D.
Lowrey and his bride, who was belle
of Santa Rosa; Nelson Lansing and

1t is the present intention to dis
patch the vessel for island ports at

Wilhelmina is understood will leave
here with large list of passengers
