PLANNING OIL PIPES FROM
WHARF TO THE RAILROAD YARDS

The local branch of the Standard
Oil Company has under consideration
the laying of siX-inch pipe lines under
the coal wharf in the railroad yards
to carry distillate, gasoline and kero-
sene to tanks to be erected in the
company's premises. J. Myers ar
rived yesterday on the Wilhelmina to
supervise the work of laying the
pipes, and two other experts are with
him to help in the task.
The work of laying the pipes will
be, begun Immediately, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the tanks have not
yet been installed. 1t is desired 10
have this work pushed on as rapidly
as possible, and the erection of the
tanks will be carried out with the lay
ing of the pipe lines. With the com
pletion of the job the distillate, gaso-
line and kerosene will be brought

The Curtis bi-plane which has been
built at the Royal Hawaiian Garage
by Gus Schaefer, w. Eddy and G. /.
Brown, is rapidly nearing completion
and it is expected that the trial flight
will take place at Leilehua about six
weeks from now, Schaefer being the
aviator.
Leilehua is looked upon as the most
favorable place on Oahu for the start
of a flight, being free from tricky dir

passed at the former meeting, Muir

convinced him that the general fund

Oahu Tunnel Project
Is Raising Questions
As To Water Rights

The big tunnel project of the Oahu
Sugar Company was the subject of a
conference yesterday afternoon
between representatives of the Com
pany, and Governor Frear, Land Com
missioner Judd, and Attorney General
Lindsay
W. Pfotenhauer, of Hackfold & Com

ing government property.
No decisions were arrived at al
though fair understanding of both
sides of the situation has probably
been gained. The Sugar Company asks
simply for a right of way for its tun
mel and ditch, and although it must be
the obvious intention to take all the
water that can be gotten into the ditch
no reference is made to the water origi
mating on government land. AS far az
the Company is concerned, apparently

The removal of a dead body from the

under which it has about a month still
remaining to accept one or two pro
positions. One of these is for the cash
purchase of all the McCandless' rights
the other being based on shares of

The Territory's status in the matter
does not yet seem to be clear The
land is clearly government property,
not only that on which the tunnel and
bitches will run for the most part, but
that which will supply the greater part
of the water to be taken. Whether or
not the Government however, has any
claim on these waters, CT of any part
of them, will possibly have to be de
