of these streams have a tortuous
course in reaching the sea. They
should be carried straight through,
and levees built to keep them from
overlooking in time of freshets. The
flow of springs could be taken care
of in the same way. Such water
courses would not be Objectionable.
"The remaining water would be

it could be handled without difficulty
by pumps. Remember the lift would
be only about two feet, and a small
amount of power will handle lot of
water at that elevation.
The city has big lot of power
from Nuuanu reservoir which is used
only at night for lighting purposes.
During the day it goes to waste. Why
not use it to drive the pumps which
would keep all waikiki above reproach

T. RS INSTRUCTIONS ON
HARVESTER TRUST LOST

WASHINGTON March 9.-Depart-
ment of justice officials cannot find
among their files the original report
of the investigation of the harvester
trust, made in 1906, and the letter
Colonel Roosevelt, when President,
wrote to Attorney General Bonaparte,
him to hold up the prosecu-
tion of the harvester trust. Accord
ing to reliable information, both doe
uments were on file until few months
ago.
1t is said that search for the re-
port at the time the harvester trust
offered voluntarily to dissolve several
weeks ago failed to find it. A dill
gent search made a few days ago
failed to discover this document.
Officials of the department refuse
to comment on its disappearance.
In view of a recent order from the
White House that no cabinet officer
permit any documents of his depart
ment to be used for campaign pur.
poses it is felt that there is cause
for concern.

CHICAGO, March 9.-"Great re-
forms are achieved by thoughtful con-
sideration and not by momentary i'm
pulses asserted President Taft today
in an address to students at the Ar
mour Institute of Technology. BE a
bit slow about schemes to reform the
world"
President Taft's appearance before
the students, to whom he was intro
duced as the chief progressive of the
was the first public event of
his two days visit here.
Il would not discourage you in
your efforts toward progress; all l ask
is that you apply the test of human
nature" he said. Progress always
will be made wherever education
spreads. Be optimistic, boys. Because
you get jolts don't think the whole
world is against you. One man does
not make a multitude any more than
one swallow makes a summer.
Advice to Students.
The only thing the country can do
is to make more perfect the equality

know how many years-because we
have people that know the advant-
age of self-restraint and who have pro
vided against action by themselves

what makes this country great. That's
why I can tell the people the truth"

Unfair Apportion1nent

"The rate actually received for
water for city consumption, exclusive
Of shipping, on the basis Of 1880 600
gallons daily consumption and the
yearly receipt Of Sl15.2jo is one and
cighttenths cents per thousand gal
Ions.
THE amount of the discrepancy be-
tween the basic rate OF the public
works department of seven and a half
cents per thousand gallons to city
consumers and the amount actually
received of one and eight-tenths cents
per thousand gallons, one-half of the
17,5OO,OOO gallons daily or S75O,OOO,
is attributed by the department to
waste. The daily receipts for water as
above are 1915. On the basis of seven
and half cents per thousand gallons
this amount would purchase daily d.
100000 gallons, leaving a daily amount
still to account for of 4,55O,OOO gallons.
Too Much Free Water.
1--WE are informed that no charge
is made by the department for water
furnished to public institutions, the
city parks, city fire department, etc.
/ While the amount so used is unknown
it IS claimed to be large and to a de-
gree, perhaps, accounts for the 1885,
900 gallons daily otherwise unaccount-
ed for.
I'VE are informed that two differ
ent transportation companies are seri-
ously contemplating providing water
! to shipping, Independent of the gov
J eminent We believe it is imperative
| the rate should be reduced and if not,
and private capital equips for provid-
! ing water to shipping at reduced rates,
the amount now received by the gov
eminent from sales to shipping will
| be eliminated and the department will
show a loss in revenue accordingly.
The Remedies Urged.
1--WE believe the remedy is and sub
NIT the following recommendations
First At the first opportunity the
| legislature should provide for the sew
er department independent of the
water department as it is unjust to
tax water consumers for the mainte-
nance of the sewer department.
Second. All public institutions and
parks, etc, should pay the water de-
partment for all water used as it is
manifestly unfair that water users
! should in effect be taxed for water so
used instead of providing for same out
of general appropriations.
Third. Meters should be installed
throughout the city as the only ap'
parent fair basis upon which to charge
consumers for water actually used.
Fourth The rate to all shipping
should be uniform and should not ex-
coed the rate to city consumers, plus
the additional expense for delivering
same, and in no event exceed twenty
five cents per thousand gallons.
Fifth. The meter rates to consum-
ers should be at all times the very
lowest which can be made under econ
| onical and efficient management"

Percy NJ. Pond, the we'll known con-
tractor, believes that it would be fea-
sible to drain the Waikiki marshes
by means of pumps. In way, he has
tested out his theory recently, and
would like to see it tried on larger
scale.
Mr.. Pond is at present engaged in
filling in eight or nine acres of wet
land on the makai side of Kalakaua
avenue, and, 70 rthe purpose of max
ing it easier for teams to deposit
their loads, he decided to try to pump
the water out, and he did it in about
a days time,
Il was told by many persons that l
could not pump the water out" said
Mr.. Pond, for the reason that the
seepage from the ocean would be
greater than it would be practicable
for me to remove with pumps. How
ever, l decided to try it, and | prac-
tically emptied the pond in less than
a days pumping. l used only little
two and a half-inch centrifugal pump
driven by a three-horsepower engine.
The pump was started about four
o'clock Monday afternoon and run for
a few hours, noticeably lowering the
level in that time. The next day it
had not appreciably risen, and before
night we had pumped out all that the
pump could reach, leaving the tulle
practically dry. There are a few
inches of mud and sand on the bot,
tom, resting on solid coral, and there
seems to be very little seepage."
Asked his opinion on the practical
bility of draining the entire area OF
marsh at Waikiki, Mr.. Pond expressed
his belief that it would not only be
possible, but that it could be done at
a very low cost.
"Of course" Mr.. Pond qualified
there are springs in the tract that
probably could not be handled eco
nomically by pumps, and it would moi
be my idea to try to pump out all the
water now draining into the low area
from Monoa and Palolo streams. Both

COUNTESS OF WARWICK

NEW YORK, March 9.-On the

VIII Measure Water.

Ventura recording meters vii! soon
be installed by the department by
which an accurate measurement OF ell
water taken into the city mains will
be made. At the present time it is
only possible to estimate same, which
the department does at 17,500,000 gal
Ions daily. The estimated receipts Tor
water for 1912 exclusive of shipping
are $115,2OO The estimated receipts
for water for shipping for 1912 are
$4,000. The total amount of water
possible to purchase for $4,000 at the
rate of two dollars and half per thou
sand gallons is 13,92OOOO gallons, or
in other words, shipping is paying for
less than the average consumption of
the city of water for one day sum Of
$4,000, or nearly one-thir6 as much as
the amount received from all other
sources during the entire year.

MERCHANTS GIVE DELIVERANCE
ON THE WATER QUESTION

The directors Of the Honolulu Mer-
chants Association, at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon, adopted the re-
port submitted by its special commit
tee appointed to study the water rate
problem. Much of the time of the
meeting was taken up in a discussion
o. the subject, and it was the general
opinion that relief should he asked for
from the legislature, should special
session Re called. The necessity for
saddling the expense Of the sewer ne
partment upon the water works was
condemned. A much lower rate to
shipping generally is urged, the use
Of meters for all consumers recon-.
mended, and a general stoppage of
waste, both of water and in admins
tration, is indicated as necessary.
The report indicates that charges
are not distributed equally, even
among the different classes Of ship
ping. 1t says:
THE present rate to all vessels of
the United States Navy, including
transports, is seven and a half cents
per thousand gallons less ten per cent
! The present rate to the United States
! lighthouse tender Kukui is fifteen dol
lars per month; the present rate to
steamers of the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company ranges from
! twenty-five dollars down to fifteen dol
lars per steamer per quarter. The
rate to all other shipping is two dol
lars and a half per thousand gallons
We are informed that the total re
ceipts from the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company for fifteen or six
teen vessels for 1911 were Sl040. II
this 5000 was for water at the rate
of two dollars and a half per thou
sand gallons it would mean. say, fol
fifteen vessels a daily average con
sumption per vessel of but seventy
five gallons, an obviously inadequate
amount. Hence the conclusion thai
the rate to them is far short of two
dollars and a half per thousand gal
Ions. No record has been kept Of
the amount actually used by the Inter
Island company.
