about 1000 feet by 500 feet, not less
than IS feet in depth, and is COM
pletely sheltered by the breakwater
already constructed. This harbor Is
similar IN outline to that of Honolulu,
and is almost as large. Near the emit
rance, however, there Is a small, SUBJ
merged reef containing about $4,000
cubic yards of material which will
have to be removed. An appropria-
ton OF $4,000 for this purpose has
been included in the present River
and Harbor Bill, and will undoubtedly
be authorized at the present session.
When this comparatively small
amount is dredged there viii be an
open channel to sea 500 feet in width.
Immediately in front OF Kuhio Bay
is a large basin not less than 80 feet
in depth, affording ample shelter and
anchorage for vessels while not actti-
ally engaged in handling cargo.
The area of Hilo Bay proper that
will be completely protected when the
'breakWater is finished Is at present
indeterminate, but. In the opinion OF
the United States Engineers 1t will
be not less than 1,500 acres, or sew
'eral times the area Of Honolulu Har-
Dor. Every foot of breakwater fin.
ished from now on will increase the
protection of this portion of Hilo
Harbor.
Commerce-In tonnage handled in
Hilo Harbor in 1908 when improve
ments were begun was $4,000, valued
at 5000, 900, and in 1911 this had
increased to 308,3S1 valued at $17,-1
404,S61, including inter-isiand traffic.

The work of excavation has been
performed under contracts by the Ha-
waiian Dredging Company, the San
Standard American Dredging Com
pany.
Practically all the money appropri-
ated has been expended. and little
over two-thirds of the total yardage
has been removed.
The accompanying map from the
United States Engineers office shows
the status of the work as Of July LIST,
1911. The entrance channel has been
widened to a general width of 400
feet, and was dredged to depth OF
35 feet, which, however, subsequently
shoaled to SO feet. The channel is
now being Sredged to its former
depth.
The Lighthouse Point has been re-
moved and the larger portion of the
dredging on the northwest side of the
harbor has been accomplished.
The total area of Honolulu Harbor
inside the harbor limits is 1S4.4T
acres. At the present time it's df
mems ions are 5000 feel by 600 feet,
having a depth of SIS feet and over,
aid 800 by $50 feet having depth
Of 20 feet ere over at M an, lower,

is about ~ feet.
In connection with the dredging
great deal has been done in the way
of retaining Quarantine Island and

ton of the dredgings having been de-
posted thereon.
ANY further appropriations will be
devoted to widening the harbor in &C
cordance with the existing project SO
as to, provide more maneuvering
space, and to render available addi-
tional harbor frontage on which
wharves may be built.
Commerce-In 1905 when the inn
provements were begun the total ton
mage was 665, 900. valued at SAL ,S59,
coo. In 1911 the tonnage amounted
to 1,168,709, valued at ST. ,405 1853, in

of the total project is $1,700.000.
There has already been appropriated
and authorized on continuing con:
contracts the aggregate sum of 81;

ly 100000 has been expended. The
completed structure is now 2,52S feet
in length, and was built by D. +.
Metzger, contractor, for the sum of
100000. In addition thereto 2,486

SCALDING A FOWL PROPERLY
Any Aged Bird May Be Treated With.
cut lnjurIns Its Quality II
Handled In Right Way.

So great is the possibility Of scald.
ing the fowl improperly that dealers
in some localities show an inclination
to demand dry plucked fowls. AS a
means of overcoming this difficulty,
G. K. Graham of Connecticut, who has
spent good deal Of time in studying
the subject, offers these suggestions:
Any aged bird may be scalded with
out seriously 1njuring its quality If
1t Is properly handled; but owing to
the large number of poorly dressed
scalded fowls, the marketmen place
premium Of from 1 to 2 cents a pound
on dry plucked stock.
Boiling water may be used, but care
must be taken not to leave young
birds in the water too long, or the
skin will cook, while with old fowls
little more time may not do any harm.
The head and shanks should be kept
out Of the water as the scalding will
discolor them and make them un-
slightly. Immediately after the bird
is taken from the scalding water it
should be dipped into cold water to
stop the cook, and, as poultrymen say.
to plump the bird"
The bird should then be hung as
for dry plucking, as no bird plucked
on the lap or the table will have so
good an appearance. If scalded bird
Is exuosed to draught when being
plucked or when cooling, the skin is
likely to harden and become rough.
1t is because of these possibilities
that dry plucking is recommended, as
the condition of the skin to a great
extent accounts for the high or low
returns received

THE DRESS SUIT

The dress suit is one of the three
most useless things in the world. The
other two are the north and south
poles. Owing to cruel social custom
which says what man shall wear,
and when he shall wear it, the closets
of this country are congested with the
mute remains of full dress suits which
haven had enough exercise to keep
them from bagging at the knees.
There is nothing more dispiriting TO
a man of correct tastes than to have
to groove himself into a dress sui.
which was coined before he lost his
wastline and gives him very par
boiled and apoplectic look. 1t is as
tonishing how fast a silklined dress
suit will shrink when it is not dis
turbed by anybody for two or three
years.
We have a perfectly good dress SUIT
which is just at the age when it ought
to be most vigorous, made by taller
who was so pleased with the fit that
he threw in shoe horn, and now
after the passage of few brief aeons,
nobody who is willing to be meltel
and poured in could possibly get into
it.
After a dress suit has been used on
two or three festal occasions, like a
X = dance or a barbecue it tiphtens
up under the armpts until the adjust
ment won't vary l-10OO of an incn
This kind of suit is the most treach-
erous article of dress man can wear,
as it is liable to give way in hasts
and unceremonious manner, covering
him with confusion and safety pins.
Very few men look radiantly happy
in dress suit, as they are kept busy
parting the coat-tails with one hand
and subduing an insurgent shirt-front
with the other. The dress suit is al
ways accompanied by pair of white
kid gloves, which, in some instances,
resemble the wrapper on a boneless
ham, and also by the collapsible plug
hat, which springs shut with low, So
gurgle.
The tuxedo is an expurgated edition
of the dress suit, and is worn by young
men who object to paving wildly to
the rear whenever they sit down.

PLANNING TO MOVE FRUIT CROP

Mr. Paul Wilson, while in Denver
the past week, had conference with
the officials of the d. & r. G. railroad
in regard to moving the fruit crop this
fall. Mr. Wilson tells us that the Off
Gals of the road gave him assurance
that the cars would be furnished and
that there would be motive power to
move them. They expect to have 5000
refrigerator ears on the switches in
Mesa, Garfield, Delta and Montrose
counties when the peaches are ripe.
The company has purchased SO new
engines, Is of the Mallett type and
they say they will be able to move cars
as rapidly as they are loaded They
will build more switch room at Hotch-
kiss and at other points where it is
needed. 1t is now up to the grower
to get his crop thinned, and sprayed
and to make the necessary preparations
to have it arvested.-North Fork

LACK OF SPIRITUAL TRAIN
ING UNSExING WOMEN

Boston, June l1.-The Rev. DR.
Francis Il. Clark, founder of the United
Society of Christian Endeavor and the
Worlds Christian Endeavor union, to-
day announced the lack of spiritual
training received by the girl gradu-
ates of today as tendency toward the
ultimate unsexing of woman and the
destruction of the best traditions of
womanhood
81 believe that women should be
physically perfect, and that sound
bodies should be developed with sound
minds,' said DIR. Clark. '"No one can
minimize the Importance of careful
training along these lines, but infinite
ly more important is the growth of the
same spiritual strength that our grand
mothers and mothers gave to the up
building of civilization.
"Mannsh manners, uncouth and
often almost vulgar speech seem to
have become the characterizing peeu-
iarity of the modern college girl. The
modern education of women is rapidly
working toward the elimination of the
gentle, spiritual and altogether lovable
type of womanhood that has ennoblel
manhood and been the greatest of all
eivilizing factors in the history of the
world.
Physical and intellectual develop
ment are necessary, but when both be
come so important in the education of
I women that all other womanly attain
ments are forgotten we may well be
alarmed for the future of our homes
and institutions.
"The slang of the college girl of to-
day and her affectation of mannish
manners of speech and dress are
abominable -

IRRIGATION PLAN
CONTRACTS CLOSED

Contracts providing for the tinanc-
ing of the Sam Farmer Escaante Irri-
cation company were closed in this city
yesterday. The company proposes to
put $4,000 acres of land lying seven
miles west of Delta, in Delta county,
under water. The system is to include
a series of reservoirs which will have
a capacity of 10000 acre feet of water.
These reservoirs will be fed by Esca
1ante creek and its tributaries.
The land to be brought under water
is in fruit district and it is proposed
to store three-fourths of an acre foo.
Of water for each acre of land for use,
in addition to the regular flow of the
streams. This is to insure water late
in the season when most needed by
orchard lands.
The system will cost approximately
$275,0OO and bids will be called for
soon for the construction work. Sam
Farmer is president of the company.
The financing was done through w. L.
Rucker of the Denver Reservoir Irriga-
tion company. The money was obtain
ed in the east. The company proposes
to sell water rights at $50 per acre,
payable in five years.-Grand Junction

HUGE BLOCK OF MARBLE

The whole town was out to see a
huge block of marble come down tine
trolley line one day last week. 1t was
the biggest block ever brought down
the mountainside. Just as it lay on
the flatcar the piece weighed upwards
Of thirty tons. The train proceeded
very slowly, owing to the immense
weight, and the people of the town be
low had ample opportunity to inspect
the block as it was brought to the
yards. The piece was to be used in
making one of the big, free standing
columns for the Denver postoffice.

MOVABLE ROOSTs AND NESTS
Nothing More Convenient in Cleaning
Than Long Saw-Horse in Fight
Against Little Parasites.

After trying all sorts and types of
roosts and roost-poles, am convinced
that nothing is better than long
saw-horse, says a writer in the Farm,
Mail and Breeze. A roost of this
type, set on a smooth floor, and with
removable nest boxes, makes it posi-
BILE to keep the henhouse perfectly
clean at all times. The main difficulty
experienced in cleaning the house is
the distractions, these being usually
the roosts and nests. If they can be
taken out quickly and handily, and
nothing left but bare room with a
smooth board floor, the work of clean
Ing becomes an easy task.
