NUUANU ROAD
WORK IS BUM
SO Declare Members Of Nuuanu
Improvement Club-Wear-
ing Out Already.

The road work being done on Nuuauu
street came in for a little criticism
from the members Of the Nuuunu I'm.
provoment Club last night None Of
tho remarks were fattorine at all. One
member characterized 1t as tho bum
nest job he had ever seem It was
admitted that there had boon some i'm.
provoments Of late, but judging by the
tone Of the remarks, there must have
been some wondotful achievements on
the part Of the laborers in tho first in
stance.
l.. Il. McCandless brought the matter
up. lie thought that the club should
obtain an expert and pay him $3.50 to
watch the work for month He con-
sidehbd that it would be money well
spent 1t was quite within the province
of the club to do this. If the super
visors were squandering money, the
club should know it. If they were not,
then this should be known.
John S. Walker thought that the sug-
gostian was good one, but it was just
a little too late, as the men had begun
to 10 their work much better than they
had ever done it before. Two months
ago the supervisors were undoubtedly
sqNandering money.
s1t's the FUNNIEST job yet, y assert
td c. Weight.
Chairman sherman could not under
stand Why the men did not finish their
work as they went along. There was
great deal of work behind them to be
finished yet.
5. Bickerton thought week would
he long enough for any expert to salts
~ himself about the way in which the
work was being done. Already the
number three rock was coming through
the top dressing. When the heavy
rains come, . he predicted, the work
win have TO be done all over again
I'VE will only get the merry ha ha
from the supervisors, said another
member, "and they win ask us what
are we going to do about it.
| On the motion of L. L. McCandlessi
| seconded by John S. Walker, it was
resolved "That the road committee be
asked to Investigate the expenditure Of
! money, to the hest of their ability and
1 10 report W Tue cluU at the next mcOb'
ing whether we are getting value for
the money that is being spent by the
county officials in Nuuanu Valley"
The secretary was instructed to write
to the superintendent OF public works
calling his attention to the condition OF
the iron fence around the mausoleum
! Chairman Sherman referred to the
fence as being in "measly" condi
tion.
The question of whether the club
should follow the course of the Kaimuk
Improvement Club, which had found
out the unsanitary spots in the district
was discussed, The meeting decided
that this was not necessary, as the.in
spectors of the board of health haC
done excellent work. It was resolved
however, TO see that the work was mo-
allowed to lapse,
The advisability of stalking off tn,
spots where new roads should b,
built was left to a committee. TIT
chairman was authorized to appoin
three members to act as delegates Il

"Mueh money will be provided for
permanent improvements" said Low
yesterday, aud when asked about
schools he said that considerable would
90 for that purpose.
1t is understood that the budget win
provide for at least three new schools,
one twelye-room building at Waipahu,
one of about the same size at Kahuku,
and one in Manoa about half the size
Of these.
The details of this matter have not
been settled as yet and there will be a
conference of mamters of the commit
tee and Superintendent Pope in the
near future to agree upon them.
For Free Garbage.
Most of the money in the next APP
preparation bill will be for something
that win last long time, and then
there is talk of a free garbage system
to be inaugmatcd the first of the year.
Recently a committee representing
members of three of the improvement
clubs of the city met with tho santa
tion and health committee of the super
visors for the purpose of showing them
where they could get enough money to
run free garbage system, but so far
/ they have been unable to do so. When
4 the committee showed them where
about $3S, 900 had been spent for garb,
! age collection during the past six
/ months they were somewhat dumb
founded.
At the close of the meeting, how
ever, the representatives believed still

then swinging it to garbage system

Member Mcclellan stated yesterday
afternoon that the committee were per-
fectly willing to be shown, but that
on the face of it the proposition did
not look feasible.
Chairman Low of the finance com
mittee, stated last evening that he had
been working out the problem of
the new budget and that he hoped to
have it in rough shape within a few
days.
"There will be meeting of my COM
mittee called next week to go over the

OF RICE
THRESHING ON SCHELL
CANAL EXPERIMENT
FARM.

experiment farm in which tht
government experts co-operateC
with the company, showed thai
from IA to Is sacks per acre was
the yield. This considered a re
markable yield, as the rice was
only flooded once, when the mis-.
hap of the drain pipe put a STOP
to all futher irrigation. It is be.
lieved that had this rice been pro,
perly flooded the yield would have
been between 20 and 80 sacks per
acre, but in spite of this the yield
was more than two times average
yield through the rice belt. Thus
demonstrating the fact that our
lands are better for cultivation of
rice as we'll as they are known to
be better for the other crops.
H. Kito, a Jamanese who is in
correspondence with his govern
ment and the head of all Japanese
colonies in the United States was
here this week with an expert
rice planter from the old country
who is looking for a location. They
were both highly impressed with
the lands and conditions found
here, saying that our irrigation
system and lands looked better
to them than any they had seen
anywhere, why our farmers can
easily make 80 sacks of rice per
acre on lands of this kind"
The great dredge boat that
will make the final cut in the in
take from the Courtableau to the
canal is now in perfect readiness
for work. The long crane, dip
per and large engines have been
set and put in complete order,
and the boat will start, cutting
the intake down to specifications
Monday. In speaking of this
matter Mr.. Schell said: 1T is not
necessary to do this work before
the next season, as most any sea-
son we would have plenty of
water to irrigate ten to fifteen
thousand acres without any fur
Their dredging. However, to be
prepared for a most dry season if
it should come, and since the
work must be done before any
fur Their extension of the canal,
we are going to cut this intake
down to specifications, which is
ten feet below sea-level, and this
work will be completed some
time in March of next year, after
which the lowest stage of water
will give us a water depth of ten
feet in our intake to plant"
The canal will be filled with
water some time next January IN
order to demonstrate to the farm
ers that there is no doubt OF
water for the next crop, and in
cidentally to test the entire canal
and machinery in plenty of time
to make any repairs that might
prove to be necessary. A num-
Der of hills in the great $50 foot
canal have been cut down to
specifications since the last sea-
sons teat and it is not belived
that there will be any difficulty
in getting water to the entire
stretch of canal and laterals
when the pumps start again.
Mr.. Schell says that there will
be twenty or twenty-five families
to come to this section during
the next year. some whom will
move here in time to put in a
crop, and all of whom will be
here in plenty of time to get in
perfect readiness for a crop the
following year. He says that
the company has assurance of
1000 acres of their lands being
planted in rice next year, which
win be planted and cultivated by
renters, as it is not the intention
of the company to do any farm
ing on its own part. Washing

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-That
negotiations between the Gould
lines and the Frisco as to the
use of the Texas and Pacific and

tain tracks by the Yoakum road
in its proposed New Orleans
Memphis route, which plan was
knocked in the head by the ac-
ton taken by the Gould interests
will be resumed, is not thought
to be at all probable, and the
Frisco's hopes of getting a di-
rect Mississippi Valley connec-
ton between its Northern pro-
perty and the rich Southwest
are for the timo at least, at an
end.
Judge T. ]. Freeman, first vice
president and general manager
of the Texas and Pacific and
president Of international and
Great Northern is the directing
head of the two great lines, and
it was learned that that the ar
engagements were halted at a.
conference between the judge
and B. F. Yoakum, chairman of
the board of the Frisco, during a
visit of the former to New York
last week.
The proposed contract was be-
tween the Frrico Company and
the Missouri Pacific Railway
Company and the Opelousas,
Gulf and Northeastern Railway
Company and contemplated Civ
the Frisco Company tracks
for all purposes-that is, IN hand
ling freight, passengers, mail
and express-from Memphis to
Ferriday, which also contemplate
giving the Frisco Company
the right to do like business over
the Texas and Pacific from Fer
to Anchorage, which also
contemplated the building of a
cutoff from a point commencing
at Morganza and running to the
Atchafalaya River at Melville
with the use of the bridge at
Melville and the use for all pur-
poses of the track of the Opelou-
sas Gulf and Northeastern from
Melville to Port Barre.

New Orleans, Nov. {. -That

roads refusal of its proposition
for privileges over the latter's
tracks, was assured local railway
men say, by the statement of B.
F. Yoakum, chairman Of the
Frisco board, who Saturday
morning declared in New York
that President Winchell's state
ment relative to the roads in
tention to come into New Orleans
over the Louisville and Nash
ville's tracks, was true.
The route now said to have
been secured is:
From Chicago to Finley over
the Frisco line.
Thence to Cypress junction
over the Chicago and Eastern.
Thence to Joppa over a branch
of the C. and E.
Thence to Paducah over an ex-
tension of the branch road.
Thence to Hollow Rock over a
branch of the Nashville, Chatta-

Thence to Memphis over the
main line of that road.
Thence to Beaumont Miss. J

THE MOTOR SHOW.

One OF the main points of interest in tue
motor show which opened on FRIDAY pro-
misses to be the great prominence which
American cars will receive. It is said that so
many American cars have applied for exhibi.
ton space, that only a very small proper
ton of them can be accommodated We
have all been able to see this wear, when driy.
ing along the roads, that American cars are
being used here to an extent unknown before.
The reason of this is that American cars ara
offered at q price far below the usual Eng
!lsh figure. The British manufacturer for
some time devoted his main ATTENTION to peo-
pIo who could spend from 44O0 to Gl,OOO
or more on their motors. One firm even
started a pamphlet Eabout its cars with
this sentence: "Fhe car is intended solely
Tor people who can spend ut least Il, 900
when beginning motoring. The Americans.
on the contrary, have gone for the man who
cannot afford more than from G15D to $500.
They have catered for him. They have
standardized their methods Of production,
aud have manufactured on u wholesale scale.
Our makers tell us that the American ears

they call them "rUtle boxes" Nav be so,
