The Milwaukee company sent a
special train through Mitchell at
midnight Sunday night to carry the
Dirks brothers from Murdo to Mar
ion Junction. In the afternoon the
brothers at Murdo received a tele-
gam announcing that their brother
was dying at Marion junction. They
at once communicated with the Mil
yankee company for a special train
through to Marion junction. Owing
to the heavy rains and; not knowing.
the real condition of the roadbed, the
train was not run on very fast time
until it left Mitchell for it's desti-
nation.

A half dozen of the Mitchell Sir
knight Templars went out to Cham
berlain Monday afternoon to attend
the annual conclave of the State
Com.nandery, which will be in ses-
sion for several days. Last year it
was decided to hold the Comman-
derry meeting at a separate date
from the grand lodge sessions or
the Masonic order, for the reason
that there was very little time left
after the other lodges had finished
heir work for the Commandery to
attempt anything. There were u
; large number of Sir knights in the
city during the day enroute for
Chamberlain.
Charles Palmer dropped into the
city this morning from his home in
San Francisco, Cal, and left on the
afternoon train for White Lake to
visit his brother, j. G. Palmer, edi-
tor of the Wave. 1t has been some
thing like la years since Mr.. Palmer
left Mitchell. While here he was
employed in The Republican Office as
> the engineer and some three or four
other positions. The old steam, en-
CINE that Palmer used to run was al
ways a ource of trouble to him, and
it usually took about two hours to
get it in readiness to furnish power
for the machinery. When he LOOK
ed over the power equipment in The
J Republican office now, he shook his
head and said: What a relief it
would have been to have had cleo
trical power in those. days" Mr..
Palmer has several fruit orchards
in San Francisco, and is doing nice
o ~ i'm that business.

more. This can be developed on gov
ernment land without interfering with
the present use of the water for irri-
CATION purposes; but if the supply is
taken at its source by the proposed
tunnel, this water power will be lost
According to a report on file in the
Public Works Department, made in
1889 by w. E. Rowell then superin-
tendent of Public Works, after a sur
vey of the waters available, an esti
mate of $50 horsepower at the falls
was made. This was based on an es
timated flow of Tess than five cubic
feet flow per second. Mr.. Rowell car,
ried out in figures to dollars and cents
the value to the city of Honolulu. In
getting at these figures, he estimated
a loss of SO per cent in electric cur
rent in bringing the power to the city
(said to be excessive loss under mod
ern conditions of engineering), or 100
horsepower net. This power he esti-
mated to be equal 10 1913 tons of coal
per month for pumping machinery
twenty hours per day, or 1886 tons
per year.
The cost of installing a power plant
was estimated at $4,000, Allowing
interest on the capital at per cent,
and cost of running the plant, he got
$4,000 per year, which he subtracted
from the value of 1886 tons of coal,
at 81 per ton, or $10,752, leaving a
difference or net profit of $5.452 per
year, or $3.50 per month,
It is understood that the latest es-
Inmates of the engineers of the avail
able water in Waiahole is much
greater than that made by Mr.. Row
ell, being S,OOO,OOO equal to about
twelve cubic feet per second, or over
twice the amount upon which the for

MUSICAL AUTO HITS THE TOWN

B. o. Tilden represents the company,
with W. Cawley as assistant. w. Stork
is chauffeur.
The car is equipped with an auto
matte organ, which takes the place of
the usual horn. The noise it makes is
a cross between a phonograph playing
Chinese record and Berger's band
coming home from a luau.
The organ played the town this
morning and attracted much attention.
After a concert of half an hours dura.
tion given outside the police station
the police were requested by Judge
Monsarrat to quell the disturbance as
the noise was interrupting the busi-
ness of the court.

Tne likelihood that recourse, to the
courts will be necessary to establish
definitely the ownership of the water
rights involved in the Oahu Sugar
Company's gigantic tunnel project
seems to be increasing Governor
Frear left at noon today for a two
weeks tour of Hawaii accompanied
by Land Commissioner Judd and At
torney General Lindsay, so there is
certain to be no action taken in the
matter before they return.
Although it is understood that the
sugar company holds that it has 10
dealings with the Territory except in
the matter OF a right of way for its
tunnel and bitches over government
land, it nevertheless expects to get
the greater part of its supply from
water originating on the same govern
ment property, but which is claimed
by l.. l.. McCandless, through rights
which he holds through ownership OF
the taro and rice lands in the lower
part of the Waiahole valley. There
seems to be a difference Of opinion
with reference to his power to sell
all of the water or any part of it,
since his interest is held to be only
in the use of such water needed fol
irrigating the specific pieces of lands
to which it has always been applied
Whether these matters are definitely
established already by court decis-
ions does not seem to be very clear
to the government officials.
Power Rights Also.
One interesting phase of the matter
which has not yet been brought out
publicly, Is that of the power rights
involved. At the present time there
is estimated to be going to waste by

CONGRESSMAN
TALKSSHIPPING

Congressman Julius Kahn, who ar
rived from San Francisco this morn
ing by the Sierra, on a health trip,
when seen at the Alexander Young
Hotel, stated that what little of Ho-
nolulu he had seen so far had i'm
pressed him considerably.
The strenuous fight that California
had put up to get the big fair in 1915
had played havoc with the Congress
mans health. He was not in very
good condition, and in accordance
with his doctors request he had come
to Hawaii for sea voyage and a
complete rest How long he will re-
main here has not yet been decided
upon. He may return next week, or
wait ior the Lurline on September 26.
There were many obstacles to sur
mount before San Francisco could
gain the point to hold the fair. The
Mississippi Valley had big claims,
and, of course, the eastern steamship
companies and the railroad companies
opposed it bitterly. This fight COM
bined with the great heat that had
prevailed during the extra session
were the means of rendering an inn
mediate rest necessary.

This leaves a credit balance of

This amount will pay the interest

TO SEE
A GREAT STRIKE

That the Southern Pacific system
is to be involved in one of the most
serious strikes in its history is the
belief expressed by Walter S. Russell,
a prominent mainland railroad con-
tractor who has been here for some
time in connection with the letting
of the 100000 Hilo breakwater con-
tract Mr.. Russell's firm has had ex-
tensive business relations with the
Southern Pacific, and he probably has
a closer general insight into the situ-
alton than anyone else in Honolulu
today.
"The present trouble" said Mr.
Russell yesterday, has not been un.
expected. The Southern Pacific has
probably seen it coming for a good
many months past. The reduction OF
force in certain departments some
weeks ago was probably a measure
of preparation on the part of the rail
road If the strike is really declared
t will doubtless involve the entire
Hartman system of railroads.
''In this trouble the transportation
men, conductors, engineers, firemen
brakemen, etc, are not involved

unions of boilermakers, blacksmiths,
car repairers, machinists, sheet metal
workers and possibly one or two
other unions Besides the recognition
of the Federation, the men were de-
manding an increase of seven cents
per hour to the present nine-hour day,
but for only eight hours actual work.
81 do not believe this Increase is
justified by conditions, for it is a fact
that cost of living on the Pacific Coast
has declined during the past year
from what it has been previously
while there has been some increase
in wages during the same period"
Mr.. Russell stated further that il
the strike becomes acute the freight
traffic of the whole country is likely
to become seriously affected, but that
in all probability the passenger serv
ice will be fairly well maintained
His own company expects to feel the
trouble through the tying up of the
freight service on which it depends
for the handling of rock from the
quarries to the San Pedro breakwater
which it is building under contract
However, the compan.'s contract with
the Federal government makes pro
vision for delay from strikes, and SC
except for loss incident to delay, Mr.
Russell does not expect to be seri
ously damaged.

Much interest among business men
centered this morning in the opening
of the bids for the completion of the
Hilo breakwater, which took place at
II o'clock in the Office OF the United
States army engineer, McCandless
building.
There were four tenders presented,
the lowest being that of the Break
water Company of Philadelphia. whose
bid was $2.17 per ton for the construc-
ton of both the substructure and sup.
erstructure.
The other bidders were Lord &
Young Engineering Company, whose
bid was $219 for both parts of the
contract; Hoogs & Belser, with bid
of 1924 for the substructure and $2.74
for the superstructure, and the Stand
ard American Dredging Company at
$2.63 per ton for both sub and super.
structure construction.
The contract for the 100000 job
will be awarded from Washington,
after Major Wooten has examined the
tenders and made his recommends
tions.

Fouch wrote also about the question
of the organization of locals of the
Longshoremens Association at vari-
GUS points of the Islands besides Hilo.
He stated that he had advised John
Joyce, the general secretary of the
Longshoremen's Association, not to is
sue charters to any organization in the
Islands, unless the same had first been
approved by Ewaliko. This will be
rather a bitter pill for the Honolulu
men, who have been anathemizing
Ewaliko, to swallow.
Finally, Fouch wrote that the matter
of having all the sugar placed on the

ferred to President Keen of the Pacific

In congress Monday Victor Berger,
the socialist congressman, introduced
bill providing for the pensioning, at
81 per week, of all men and women
over the age of 60 years. There is
nothing wrong in the bill, seeing that
the general drift is toward paternal
government, provided it is restricted
to American born citizens, or foreign
born citizens who have resided in the
United States 60 years; or if it pro-
vides that men who have wasted their
substance in riotous living are not to
be beneficiaries of the act. The obnox-
ious feature of Bergers remarks in
Producing the bill was sighting ref
erence to the 'old constitution" I'm
der that constitution that Berger
seemingly finds fault with has builded
up one of the grandest, most liberal
and progressive nations under the sun.
That constitution made it possible for
Berger, and other foreigners, to settle
in this country, accumulate an indie
pendence and reach high Office among
the people. something he never could
have attained had he remained in the
country of his birth. Such men as
Berger, who aim to tear down the in
situations of this favored land, who
do not like the United States and it's
constitution. should go back to the
country from whence they came. The
United States has got along very well
for several hundred years without
them, and would survive and flourish
should they depart.
