WAIOHINU WATERWORKS CALL
FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

Especial Correspondence of the starr
HILO, May 2O,-County Engineer
Southworth returned from Waiohinu
on Sunday last. He went over to in
spect the waterworks at that place,
and he says that the extension of the
system is imperative. The watershed
belongs to the government and, as
soon as certain water rights are set
tied, the extension and enlargement
of the water system is to be proceed
ed with.
The last legislature provided an
appropriation for the necessary ex-
tension, and the scheme is to do the
work, and then hand the whole sys-
TEN over to the county supervisors.
A superintendent of waterworks will
then be appointed, and the manage
ment and regulation of the whole
waterworks should then be easy. At
present there is no proper supervi-

VANDERBILT is SUED
FOR GROCERY BILL

NEW YORK May civilian X.
Vanderbilt Jr, says he didn't get EN-,

He refers to $642 worth of groceries
which Albert Klenk, a Fourth-avenue

to pay. Vanderbilt, through his attor-
neys, Anderson & Anderson, today

WHEN HOME RULE BILL PASSES
WITH INCREASED MAJORITY

Premier said that if the Irish Parlia-
ment passed acts transcending the
bounds that the government had set,
these acts became void. No one was
bound to obey them; no one could be
punished for disobeying them The
bill was final in the sense that it was
the settlement of a long standing war

there might not be a necessity here
after to modify some of its provisions.
In conclusion, Premier Asquith said

WAY OF THE HoUNDED DEER.
II Doesn't Always Go Down Stream,
SAYS an Old Hunter.

1t doesn't make any difference
now" said hunter of long expert
ence in the woods in an after supper
talk at an Adirondack campfire. in
asmuch as the deer hound is no long
er permitted to be a part of the hunt,
but it is a fact that one long cherish
ed belief of deer hunters is simply a
backwoods fable. That belief Is that
a deer pursued by hounds when II
takes to a stream will invariably go
down with the current instead of up
stream, its instinct teaching 1t that II
it goes up its scent will pass down
with the water and the dogs will be
enabled to follow it just as they did or
dry land.
II long ago satisfied myself that
water doesn't carry the scent of deer
with it, but that on the contrary it de-
stroys the scent. Many times In study
ing this matter have 1 seen deer run
ming from the hounds come to the wa
ter's edge. Invariably they would
stop on the margin of the stream and
glance eagerly up, down and ahead
Quickly deciding, they would go up
down or across the stream. just as in
their judgment seemed best.
IF the water is deep enough fol
the deer to swim it suits the fleeing
animal best. If it is not the deer
trots or lopes along through it. II
does not bound as on land, for 1t must
drink, and must drink as 1t goes Ir
the bounding days the hunter who be-
lieved that the deer always went
downstream and acted in accordance
with that belief might recover the
trail and he might not, while the
hunter who knew better than to take
stock in that belief would not be g
great while in getting his dogs on the
scent agair
"Of comse | am speaking of deel
that took to some mountain stream
and not those that found a pond OF
lake more convenient it being the ma
ture of all deer to seek water If pos
sible when the dogs are on theil
track. In none of the streams where
deer sought to throw the dogs off the
scent could a person go many rods
up or down, without coming to some
obstruction in the course Of the deel

THE hunter who knew would in
the first place satisfy himself that the
deer hadn't gone straight across the
water and would then go in one di-
rection along the stream until he came
to the first log or rock or other chan
mel obstruction. If the deer had gone
that way the obstruction in its path
would be wet on top from the water
that dropped from the deer as 1t
climbed over it, If 1t was dry the
hunter would know instantly that the
quarry had not passed in that direc-
ton and the discovery Of the spot
where the deer had left the stream
would be only a matter of time.
Put the deer doesn't have to take
to water any more to elude the
hounds, and it can make no difference

cINEMAToeRAPHED A TIGER.
An Exciting Moment for Photosra-

An Exciting Moment for Photogra-
pher in the Jungle.
Photographing the tiger in his native
jungle must be an exciting sport,
Judging from the accounts Of Cherry
Kearton, who has just returned to
London after visiting India and Bor-
neo. Mr.. Kearton, says a correspond
ent, gives the following account of how
he cinematographed a large tiger:
1T took me twenty days before
could find the tiger, though tiger spoor
was plentiful. The tiger got had seized
a bullock by the nose and dragged him
on all fours into dense jungle, forming
a tunnel by doing so.
II went on my hands and knees
along part of this tunnel and found
one of the legs of the bullock newly
eaten.
$50 returned and arranged drive
with 400 men, cleared a space in the
jungle fifteen yards wide where the
tiger was to be driven, put up thin
leaf screen to hide me from the beast
and waited on the ground-not up a
tree-for him.
Il had no firearms, but / had three
spearmen lying on the ground beside
ME. Photographs taken from a tree
would not give the true result.
Il waited there for half an hour.
knew that the tiger was approaching
by the beaters, who were up trees,
tapping like woodpeckers. The others
were on the ground, making hideous
sounds with every noisy thing they
possessed.
THE tiger came down the tunnel and
out into the open. and l photographed
him. Directly he got half way across
he gave vent to a number of most ter
rifle coughs.
When he had gone, the game
ranger, a native, who was on the
ground beside me, got up and said:
That tiger is over eleven feet long,
the biggest tiger l have ever seem
THE natives wanted me to kill the
Tiger, Slice IL was dDOul W pSCOlIle q
man eater; stealing village cattle is
always a sign that that is going TO
happen. They could not understand
why l only wanted to turn handle at
the animal.
Fifteen men, saying that they would
be his next victims, got behind bush
with spears, and when the tiger was
driven up to them three Of the men
rushed out with their weapons.
The tiger leaped from the dense
jungle, the man on the right and the
man on the left bolted the man in the
middle turned to emulate them, but
fell on his face.
Upon him the tiger threw himself
with his claws in his shoulder like a
flash of lightning, and put his head
down to the back of the mans neck.
Il six to eight feet up a tree, shout
ed, thinking he was going to bite
through the mans spinal column. The
beast looked up at me, gave another
of his great coughs, growled savagely
at me- and then jumped sideways and
disappeared into the pungle."

peacemaker and always endeavored to
smooth over any slight differences be-

Once, when the charge involved was
for technical assault. it came out in
the course of evidence that the par
ties were neighbors and had formerly
been on the best of terms.
" This is too bad, too bad!" COM

old friends! Is this not case that
might be settled out of court?"
