Especial correspondence }

Hermiston, Ore, Jan. 9.-The Una
tilla project is now experiencing some
of the coldest weather it has had
since the project was started The
snow fell continually Friday and Sat-
urday, Sunday the sun came out.
Sunday night. however. the tempera-
ture dropped to 21 degrees below zero
This is the low record for this project
in five years.
Again Ask Graduation.
Friday the president of the Farmers
Union sent the following telegram to
the secretary of the interior, but to
which no answer has as yet been re-
ceived:
Dear Sir:-In August a petition
from the farmers was forwarded to
you, asking for a graduation of pay
ments on the Umatilla project. This
is almost five months ago and we feel
that we are entitled to some definite
statement from you at once in view
of the fact that other projects were
given this relief last May. 1t is only
fifty days until our payments are due
and we want to know what we have
got to pay"
The people on the project simply
wish to know If there is going to be
any graduation of the water right
payments. If so, they can use their
money on the land, but if not they
will have to hold their money for this
payment.

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
PITTSBURG, February 25.-We call
ed on Mr.. Brown of the Chicago Ath-
letic Association for information and
learned that the 220-yards race would
be held in Pittsburg, and the so and
100 yards races in Chicago on March
II and 19.
We left Chicago for Pittsburg on
the 10Th, travelling by the $50 p. m.
train. The weather in Chicago was
good and cold. We arrived in Pitts
burg on Tuesday at noon. The wealth
er was warmer than in Chicago though
there was more snow on the ground
than we saw coming through the
West.
Mr.. HRddock of the Pittsburg Press
took hold of the boys and made them
acquainted with Mr.. Freeland, mana
ger of the Pittsburg Natatorium. The
accommodation there were very fine
as the boys were handy to the tank
and their associates were all swim
mers, and were only too glad to teach
the boys all they knew about tank
swimming.
Mr.. Wilkinson, the Natatorium in
structor, will never be forgotten by
us and it is safe to say that he is
responsible in large measure for the
good showing made by the boys il
their first race, which was the 22O
yards event on February %,

KAPAA LANDS
FOR PINEAPPLES

At the next meeting of the land
board, which may be held this after
noon if quorum can be obtained, the
matter of the Kauai homestead lots
in the pineapple region of Kapaa will
be discussed.
Land Commissioner Tucker said this
morning that he was trying to arrange
meeting for this afternoon, but was
doubtful if he could get the members
together.
Market superintendent S. T. Star
rett is away on Kauai, where he is
looking after several propositions.
There appears to be fine chance for
the establishing of a pineapple can
merry on the windward side of Kauai,
and when the homestead lots are taken
up there seems to be no doubt that
the factory will be built.

PRAISES
KAUAI SCENERY

F. e. Pillsbury, head of the Pills
bury Picture Company of San Fran
cisco, returned to Honolulu yesterday
from Kauai, where he spent a week
in photographing the beauties OF the
Garden Isle under the guidance OF
Hon. e. A. Knudsen.
Mr.. Pillsbury is most enthusiastic
over his trip. He declares that the
scenery of the Waimea canyon Is
the finest he has ever seen. This is
made the more significant when it is
understood that scenery photography
is Mr.. Pillsburys specially, and that
he has spent years in this work in
the Yosemite and Grand Canyon OF
the Colorado country. Besides many
small pictures, Mr.. Pillsbury took
about thirty large panoramic pictures
which he declares will be the finest
pictures in his collection. He leaves
tomorrow for Maui, and, after photo
graphing the best Of the Valley
Island, will go on to the Volcano.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-11

There is a possibility that Kauai
may have a first-class tourist resort
hotel within a comparatively short
time. If it is built, it will be upon the
brink of Waimea canon, in one of the
most magnificent scenic localities in
the Territory. 1t is understood that
Hon. E. A. Knudsen is enthusiastic
over the idea, and if such a place is
built it will be largely through his ef
forts
A. C. Pillsbury, the well-known Cal
ifornia photographer suggested the
plan to Mr.. Knudsen while making a
tour of the Garden Island last week
under Mr.. Knudsen's guidance.
81 never saw such scenery in my
life," declared Mr.. Pillsbury this
morning. 81 have spent my life in
photographing the scenery of the
West, and the Grand Canon of the

II. D. Bowen reports that snow has

show distinct patches in several places

And, it is to be remembered, Mrs.
Nakuina is one of the recognized au-
thorities on Hawaiian history.
