saturdays Daily.)

The hoard of education is in ses-
sioL ut the court house today ana
are considering plans and specifica-
tons for the erection of handsome
school building at Mt. Pleasant in the
seventh district. The county having
sold the Howard Institute property
the district is left without school
building and the advisory board is
looking into these plans.
A lot containing eight acres has
been bought adjoining the Hay Long
property and just north, facing the
HAMPSHIRE pike, the fence that sepa-
rates the two properties being the
corporation line of the city of Mt.
Pleasant. Beautifully situated It is
the purpose of the board to place a
handsome building on it, and the
members are hoping to have it ready
for occupancy by the time for open
ing school this fall
The plans under consideration are
of the latest modern school architec-
ture, and will cost between $1,000 and
$S,c0O The impression that the dis
trict school was taught by Hay Long
seems to have been without founda-
ton, and these movements Indicate
that there will be two handsome
school buildings in the phosphate city
before another year and that the dis
tlict school with be separated from
the city and high school.

DEAL IN REAL ESTATE.
Big Capitalist of Salt Lake Invests in
Bull City Property to the Extent
of $4,000.

The largest transaction in city prop
erty within the last two years was
consumated Saturday and Monday
when julius Rosenberg of Salt Lake,
until recently engaged in the whole
sale liquor business in that city, ac-
quired title to the brick building on
Broadway occupied by the Variety A.
A. Store, the two-story brick on Main
street occupied by the Golden Rule
store, the frame building on Main
street occupied by the Mode Millinery
and DR.. Wetherby, and the vacant lot
at the corner of Ninth and Main The
building occupied by the Variety A. A.
Store was part of the Baldwin estate,
the other real estate involved was the
property of w. J. Tull. Twenty thou
sand dollars changed hands on the
several properties, the deals were all
made through Atty. A. W. Ostrom, who
has been retained as local attorney by
Mr.. Rosenberg for the past year.
Mr.. Rosenberg had just returned
from Jarbidge and was strongly i'm
pressed by the resources of Buhl
through the evident fertility of the
country this side of Castleford, and
the many prosperous stock ranches in
the fertile valley beyond, all tributary
to Bull.
On Saturday, through Mr.. Ostrom
he purchased the entire Baldwin es-
tate from Chas. H. McQuown, it's trus-
tee. Sunday morning Mr. Rosenberg
visited Twin Falls but returned the
following day and purchased the Tull
properties. In his investments Mr.
Rosenberg held in view not so much
the present worth of the properties,
although 1t is said he purchased at
reasonable figul es, but more especially
the future of the city; in fact much of
the property he did not see until after
the deals were closed Mr.. Rosenberg
is said to have other Bull investments
under cOnsideration,-Buh Herald.

HOW TO MEASURE A RIVER.
Simple Method for Determining the
Volume of Any Stream.

The United States Geological Sur
very frequently receives letter inquir
ing for some simple method of deter
mining the approximate flow of
streams or small rivers. 1t is believed
that the following instructions may be
of some value to those who for any
reason wish to determine the velocity
or volume of stream.
To ascertain the velocity of the
stream choose place where the chan
mel is straight for 100 to 200 feet and
has nearly constant width and depth;
lay off on the bank a line so to 100 feet
in length, marking each end; then al
low small chips to float down the
stream, by one of the methods describ-
ed below, noting the time required for
these to traverse the distance laid off
on the bank. The surface velocity in
feet per second is obtained by divid-
ing the distance in feet passed over
by the float by the time in seconds it
takes the float to travel this distance.
The average of several such determin-
ations will give the mean surface velo-
city of the stream. This result multi
piled by the coefficient 0.S0 gives very
nearly the mean velocity of the stream.
To obtain the area of the cross sec
ton of the stream, stretch a tape
from shore to shore and take the
depth of the stream at intervals of 2
to feet. The average of these depths
may be assumed as the mean depth of
the stream. This average multiplied
by the total width will give the area
of the cross section of the stream in
square feet.
The discharge is found by multiply
ing this ross-section area by the
mean velocity, as obtained by the float
measurements, the result giving the
discharge in second-feet, or in other
words, the number of cubic feet flow
ing past the point of measurement
each second.
In determining the velocity for small
streams and when only approximate
results are desired the float is placed
in the center of the stream only. For
larger streams and when greater ac-
curacy is desired tape is stretched
across the stream and the distance be-
tween the banks is divided into num-
Der of equal spaces or sections. Floats
are then allowed to drift down the
stream as near as possible in the cen
ter of each of these spaces, the same
number of floats being used for each
section The mean surface velocity is
then assumed to be the mean of the
surface velocities obtained for the sew
eral sections For each float the dis
lance of its starting point from the
right bank is recorded as indicated.

THINK RUSSIAN
INVASION NEAR
immigration Officials Would Not
ee Surprised 10 See 24Oo
a Year Arrive.

According to information that has
come 90 800 attention OF officials If che
local station of ihe federal inmi IRA
tion department O. propaganda Of Ht
waii boosting is going on in Russia ana
AN invasion Of the Islands by savs in
the near future might we'll be expect.
ed. AZ this end Of the wire is neither
of the two labor recruiting agencies,
official or unofficial, that are supported
in Hawaii, but the Russians themselves.
Those who are now here as the res1lts
of the Perelstrous immigration scheme
of several years ago are said to be
spreading hundreds of letters all
through Russia and recommending i'm
migration to Hawaii.
1t is even thought possible that if
the indications prove correct, Slav lab
orers viii outnumber the Spanish and
Portuguese in time, providing Russian
immigration materializes as it prom
ises ana the European immigration is
continued on the present scale.
% 1t is easily probable that we could
receive fifty Russians on every boat,
once they started coming, said Inspec-
tor Edwin Farmer, yesterday, "That
is two hundred month or 2400 year.
If there be only one immigrant boat
or SO a year from Europe as there has
been, this will soon bring the Russians
above the Latins in numbers. -
This estimate is without consideration
of any immigration stimulated through
the territorial department of immigra-
ton by means Of the agencies DR.. V.
f. Clark is now establishing in Man
churia. Territorial officials themselves
have so far not expressed their opinions
on the volume of immigration the gov
eminent might thus be responsible for
and since Doctor Clark left, they have
been inclined to give conservative esti-
mates.
Doctor Clark will, they say, content
himself at first with assisting to Ha-
wall particularly the friends and rela-
tives Of those already here and gradu-
ally extend the operations of the de-
partment to others, picking out the
agricultural laborers. This discrimina-
ton will not figure in the voluntary
immigration of which the federal Off
cial spoke and how many may demand
assistance from the Territory's agency
at Dalny and how many will come on
their own funds, can not be calculated
from the information on which the esti-
mates are based.

VI. HURST CHARGED
WITH CRIMINAL LIBEL
(Trom satarday's Advertiser. }

AIIOH Dhbiihhg . hhN DA NiS'A"l
Walter Hurst, a former plantation
engineer and dabbler in Honolulu real
estate, was arrested yesterday upon a
warrant sworn to by John Ashman
Beaver ON the ground of criminal libel.
The immediate cause for the suit is a
phrase from letter written by Hurst
to II. t. Mills in which he calls Beaver,
a swindler, and occasion for this cpl
tibet involves the long story of a real
estate tangle in which Hurst, Beaver,
g. P. Castle and j. A. Magoon were
at one time involved.
81 stand to lose the entire property
unless ] win the suit against that
swindler Beaven,7' is the phrase in full
to which Beaver refers in his libel
charge. 1t seems that several years
ago Hurst came into Honolulu and pur-
chased lot on Vineyard street from
G. p. Castle from whom he borrowed
$4,000, which included the purchase
price, TO improve the property. Short
ly after he bought an adjacent lot from
j. A. Magoon, presumably out of the
Castle money, and started to erect two
cottages upon this land
According to Beaver s story, he then
became involved in debts to contrac-
tors, furniture dealers and others and
failed to pay the interest on the mort
gage which G. J.. Castle held. Beaver
came into the ease when, as attorney
for a japanese, he tried TO collect $50
from Hurst, which the latter paid with
an Unacceptable check. When the mort
gage WIS finally foreclosed and the
house on the Castle lot sold at sheriff =
sale, the title TO the lots were bought
by Beaver for $40. Previously Mr.. Gas.
tie had bought up the Magoon land
aud improvements TO save his own
money which had been invested IN it,.
After the sheriff 5 sale Beaver paid
OF the Castle mortgage and subsequent
~ took over the trust deed Of the per.
sonal property in the buildings and the
furniture which Hurst had made 10 Al.
torney Straus and started TO pay
Hurst y debts out of the rentals Mean
while Hurst was busy writing letters
and one Of these letters came back b
l,myen, namely the Mills letter IN
which he Is refoued 10 as "tbat
swlndlerb hence the suit.
