Pumped thoroughly dry by 3 o'clock
this morning, or a little more than
two and a half days after her sinking,
the Inter-lsland steamer Mauna Kea
as she was floated into safe berth con
stituted an exhibit of the triumph of
electricity as a mechanical power.
For the pumping of the vessel was
done mainly through the prompt as
sistance of the Hawaiian Electric
Company, Ltd.
The work was done by this com
pany with four electric centrifugal
pumps, kept going night and day since
10 o'clock Saturday night, Two Of
the pumps were from the Hawaiian
Electric Companys power house and
the other two were borrowed by the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany from the Lord-Young Engineer
ing Company, Ltd. The power current
was of course supplied by the electric
company. and the work of installing
the conductor was not the least diff
fcult feat of the whole performance.
Besides the services of its plant,
the Hawaiian Electric Company sent
its entire force, outside of what was
absolutely necessary to conduct the
regular service of the company, to the
scene of salvage operations, including
the chief engineer. Manager Hepburn
and Superintendent McGrath even
| lent their personal attendance to the
job, staying by it through long hours
of darkness as well as daylight
To connect the power with the
pumps the wires were run from the
J prison through the mud, and the line
was carried on board the Mauna Kea
/ by 10 o'clock Saturday night. At
| O'Clock Sunday morning the pumps be
gan to throb, and kept up their pull
sations steadily with Interruptions
only for readiusting or changing the
position of the suction pipes, unit
the vessel was pronounced dry at
a. m. today as stated. The Mauni
Kea was ahoat On even keel, abou
10 o'clock last night She will be
taken into, probably, the Bishop sill
some time this afternoon After the
schooner Repeat comes off the way'
another attempt will be made to hau
the Mauna Kea on the marine rail
way, which is again in working order
Captain Miller, head of the Mile
Salvage Company had charge of tn
floating operations and brought then
to a successful conclusion to the &C
miration of all concerned.

cable report received by the Mer-

the Rosecrans and killed man with

THE iNTER-isLAND's PIG HUNT
While the Kilauea was unloading
cargo at the Inter-Island wharf this
morning a careless seaman permitted
one of the twentyIone pigs which
were being transferred to the dock
to slip through his arms and the ami

and squealing, into the slip. Unlike

NO ACID TEST IN
FREMONT COUNTY

The acid test will not be invoked
in the Republican. caucuses of Fre-
mont county.
In some sections the Roosevelt
men started out to capture the Re-
publican assembly in order to nomI-
nate Roosevelt electors on the Re-
publican ticket In order TO head
this off the other people put in op-
Grafton the acid test-that all VINO
voted should take oath that they
would support Mr.. Taft. OF course,
this raised a big howl and divided
the party further than before.
But no test will be required in Fre-
mont county, other than that the voter
is a Republican. We have a way Of
getting along better than the Repub-
licans of some counties.
We have Roosevelt men in Fremont
county. But the leaders among the
Roosevelt men here agree that IT
would not be the fair thing to put
Roosevelt electors at the head of
Republican ticket And no fight will
be made to have it done, knowing that
other provision will be made, so that
those who wish TO vote for Mr..
Roosevelt will be able to do so.
Many Republicans here will favor
Mr.. Roosevelt. while many accept NJ.
Taft-but all are Republicans still
and will mingle together in caucuses.

About Primary Announcements
For Candidates for Office

Primaries and assemblies will lie
held this year under the new state
primary law.
Candidates may go through the
county assembly or get on the primary
ticket by petition. But in every case
every candidate must be voted on a.
the primary election in September.
Unlike former years when the con-
ventlon was the whole thing candi-
dates must get their names before
the people. In states where the pri-
mary has been long in use candidates
have found that the very best way is
to use the leading papers.
The Record will publish all such
announcements in uniform and con-
spicuous manner at the reasonable
charge of $40. The charge will be
the same for precinct. county, distrlc;
or state candidates. This fee will pay
for the card announcement to run
from the time It is put in up TO the
day of the Primary Election. II will
also be run in both The Daily Record
and The Weekly Record II any can
diadte wants to go in The Weekly
Record only the charge win be $500
which is the universal charge the
county over for weekly papers.
Besides the card announcement
each candidate will be given. without
additional charge. a nice little write
up which will let the people know
exactly who the candidate is and what
he has done. This personal mention
will also be run in both Daily and
Weekly Records.

The Initiative and Referendum
AS 1t Actually Works Out

the law on the ballot.
This year we have thirty-three laws
and amendments TO the constitution
to vote upon. In each case a peti-
ton was signed up by over $4,000 sig
natures. In many cases thousands of
these signatures are forgsries- eat
aside from that 1t is safe 70 bet that
not one man or woman in ten who
signed a petition cared a rap about
the law. They signed the petition be-
cause they sign anything offered them.
The effect OF all this is that be-
cause a few people have some pet
hobbies the state viii be put TO an
enormous expense to submit these
measures and the people must vote
on them. Ten per cent OF the voters
won't know or care a fig about most
OF the measures presented. and those
that CARRY will be carried by . very
small minority.
But you. Mr.. Candidate. are led TO
believe II you want the votes OF the
dear people that you must go out and
say that you think the Initiative Srnd
Referendum is the greatest Ting
ever written since the Ten Command
ments were ohisled on stone-greaier
In fact because we must all srtnit
that the Ten Commandments strike
rather hard at some OF the everyday
pleasures of some of the dear people
whom we expect to vote our ticket

Near Political

A good way TO defeat a man in an
election is for his party paper to
fight him so hard in the primary that
he couldn't be elected if nominated.
That seems to be what some of the
state papers seem to be trying to do
right now. -. -.

You really do not care much wheth-
er the cashier OF your bank is a Taft
man or a Roosevelt man Just SO le
takes care of your money carefully.
And it's the same way with county
treasurer. This national squabble
has no place in county politics.
OF course. we do not expect to see
a Democratic governor elected. but II
that should happen Fremont county
has two chances out OF five OF having
the man in the governors office at
