SAY SOUTHWORTH.
MAY GET PUBLIC
WORKS POSITION.

Especial Star.BulIetin Correspondence
HIL0, Sept. 6.-That County Engin-
eeI Edward A. Southworth is to be Of
fered the position of superintendent Of
public works for the Territory is the
latest report to come from Honolulu.
The statement was made by someone
in touch with the inner workings of
the things governmental In honolulu
and he believes that it is almost GER
tainty that .Hawaii's engineer will
have. the refusal of the job.
According to the way make out
the position at the present time he
stated "the Governor is finding It
very hard matter to pick out a man
who will suit all the factions. The
names of several men have been put
up for the position but up to the pres
ent time 1t has been found Impossible
to settle on any of them for the reason
that different interests are pulling diff
ferent ways and no one seems to
know just where they are at. In the
mean time Marston Campbell is hold
ing down the job and the work is go
Ing along just the, same as ever de-
spite the fact that there is a great
deal Of opposition to Campbell being
In the position.
Just before left Honolulu heard
from good authority that Southworth
was to be offered the position. He Is
q man who certainly knows his bust
mes as an engineer and who has
made good In his position as county
engineer for Hawaii. Further than this
there is also the argument in his favor
that he is familiar with the workings
OF the department in Honolulu and it
would not be like putting man in
Campbells position who would have
to 60 to work and learn all the back
history of every little Job In order to
get the greatest efficiency.
The news was In g. way no news to
SouthWorth for several of his friends
in Honolulu have been after him to
make q fight for the position. He has
refused every suggestion, however. as
he feels that there is q great deal of
work TO be done on Hawaii and that
he should stay here and see 1t through
He is also backing Engineer Taylor
for the position as superintendent or
public works.
''If Governor Frear should decide to
offer me the position stated South
worth Il should of course give the
matter every consideration and should
study the pros and cons of the PROPOSE
ton with due elaboration. At the
same time am not after the position
and am backing Joe Taylor. o have
been doing this right along and will
not alter now to try and get the posi-.
ton for myself. look upon Taylor as
the right man for the position and
think that he should have it.

MEN FROM HAWAII
TN THE PHILIPPINES

From news articles in late Manila
peppers the following extracts are TAX
en-:
Mr.. 5arkhausen.
"Calamba sugar estate has closed a
contract by which A. Barkhausen, one
of the best known sugar men in the
world, becomes its manager for five
years. Mr.. Barkhausen had retired
from the industry, having accumulat-
ed comfortable fortune in Hawaii,
and was living in retirement in San
Francisco but he has agreed to organ
lie and conduct the Calamba property
through its formative years. He is to
leave San francisco for Manila with
In q short time to enter actively upon
the work he has contracted to under
take.
'Mr. Barkhausen is one OF the
veterans OF the industry in Hawaii. He
was connected with several properties
there but hfs fame rests on what he
accomplished for the Pioneer mill
company. When he assumed charge
o. that property it was producing 5000
tons a year. He ran the product up
tic $4,000 tons and made 1t one of the
profitable companies in the islan~3.
He is familiar with all branches of the
sugar industry and is generally recog-
nized as one of the ablest men in the
business"
Mr.. Stcdart.
''W. Stodart, the representative of
the Honolulu Iron Works Company
who recently arrived from Hawaii and
picked a site for modern sugar mill
en- John M. Switzer's estate at Calam-
ha, has made his recommendations
for the kind of mill required. Mr..
Stodart recommends mill that will
hgvo capacity of 1900 tons of cane,
or $50 tons 96-97 degree sugar, per
twenty-four hours. This mill will cost
approximately million pesos.
The mill will also be equipped with
extra melting pans to handle, in on
seasons low grade Philippine sugar
from other parts of the islands and
raise 1t from the poor quality of 80
degrees to So degrees product. All the
specifications have been sent to the
Honolulu Iron Works, and the machin-
cry is expected to arrive here about
September or October, 1913. The
buildings will be of steel throughout
and calculated to Withstand wind
velocity of eighty to hundred miles
per hour" -..... =.
The last quoted article proceeds to
tell about the plans for planting seed
cane. Part OF the estate is being plow-
Ell by carabao power, but traction en-
gines are to be introduced and two
sets of Fowler steam cable plows have
been ordered. 81

POLITICAL NEWS AND NOTES

The candidates for mayor and sher-
lift on the Republican ticket will be
r. w. Single. and Robert w. Parker,
according to w. G. 3Achi, leader of the
Fifth district. Single. the present
custodian of the county treasury, and
Parker, former captain of police dur
ling A. M. Browns administration
will, says Achi, receive the unanimous
support of the Republican party, in
Guiding the Taft leaguers and the Ku-
hioites.
Aclli, who has been watching the POI
litfcal signs of the times, especially In
his district, announced yesterday that
he would vote for Single for mayor
and Parker for sheriff. That the
names of these candidates would be
kokuaed by the Taft leaguers and the
Kuhioites was the statement made
yesterday by some of the leaders.
Single has not yet expressed his
willingness to run for the highest Of
| flee in the county government; but
his lfeutenants, who have been can
wasting in all the precincts, report
| that he would be acceptable to the
voters. The businessmen, it is re-
ported, are prepared to vote for Shin
gle. -
Captain Parker, as he is more COM
monty known throughout the terri
tory, was one of the brayest and most
daring of the officers during the rev.
olution in 1895. z During his connec-
ton with the police department, when
A. M. Brown was marshal, Parker
showed his fitness as an officer.
At the Kuhio headquarters, the
leaders are formulating their plans,
preparatory to the sitting of the coun-
ty convention. 1t is believed that j..
G. Lane or E. A. c. Long will be
boosted for the office of mayor if
Single fails to enter the lists. Lane,
however. is not saying anything now,
and his friends are folding their arms,
awaiting his decision. Il" II.

Building Material

In a recent publication Prof. &. n

homa, has a lengthy article under the
above title that should attract capital
and experience to exploit our natural
resources Or that kind
Prof Gould summarizes II IN these
words
Oklahoma possesses building stone
IN abundance, Including granite, mar

state also has plenty OF clay for the
manufacture OF brick, tile and terra

in abundance, as we'll as vast deposits

Bile deposits Of asphalt"
In regard to granite, the most yalu
nable OF building stone, he says it Il
found in three places in commercial
quantities. In the Wichita mountains
southwest, there is red and blacl
granite in peaks, some a thousRnt
feet above the plaiul. Several smal

is safe to say that there is enough
asphalt in southern Oklahoma to pave
all the streets Of all the cities Of tho
United States for a thousand years"
The most important part OF the
article by Prof. Gould is at the close,
where he speaks Of lack Of develop
ment,
He writes:
eat the present time very little Of
these various building materials in
Oklahoma have been developed. The
greater part Of our granite is import
ed from the east or from Europe. Our
marble comes from Georgia or Yer
mont; much Of our limestone from
Missouri and Indiana; sandstone, used
for building, is brought in from Ohio
and other states; a considerable part
OF our brick is obtained from plants in
southern Kansas; our tile comes from
ST. Louis and Kansas City, and much
OF our terra-cotta from Chicago. We
are using vast amounts of Portland
cement manufactured In Kansas and
Texas; much OF our gypsum products
comes from the latter state; practi-
caily all the lime used in Oklahoma
is obtained from Texas. Arkansas and
