SAYS
NO BIG DANGER
TO WATER NOW
Lighting System Affected by
Shortage but Not City's
Supply

Marston Campbell, superintendent
of public works, explains that there
is no cause for anxiety at present
over the water supply for the CITY,
though the artesian level is very low,
and water users in the upper Nuuanu
Valley are still urged to use iiscre-
t1on and obviate waste as much as
possible.
The shortage of water at the Nuu-
anu dam, he explains, has nothing to
do with the water supply of the city,
but merely affects the lighting sys-
tenn, which has been equipped to de-
pend, to large extent, on the water
power afforded by that dam. The
city's water system depends at pres
ent entirely on the artesian wells, and
the pumps at the Beretania street sta
ton are to be strengthened very
shortly by an additional boiler.
The water supply system, in brief,
is entirely separate from the lighting
system, which is under the control of
the county supervisors. The water
power used for the latter being ex-
tremely. low, the supervisors must OBJ
tain portion of the city's electric
juice from the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany until the rains come to relieve
the Nuuanu situation. Lights i'll some
parts of the city have been extin-
guished temporarily for the sake of
economy and until connections can be
made to get the supply from the cleo
trio company.
so far as equipment is concerned,
the water system is better now than
it has ever been," says Mr.. Campbell
However, this long drought has been
a serious matter"

viewing the work Of his several com
mittees recently appointed to work

fident than ever that the organizar
tion of the new service will be com
pleted in time to put the parcel post
into general operation on the first
of January next. He has decided to
place a liberal construction on the

well as rural routes, thus extending
Nhe service to many additional mil
lions of people Through inadvert-
ence the act failed to mention star
routes.
Mr.. Hitchcock stated that there
might be some uncertainty as to the
establishment of a local parcel post
in Alaska on January 1st because Of
the unreasonable time. The diff
culties in handling the parcel post n
Alaska are likely to be very great,
and for that reason the matter OF e.
tabIishing the local system there will
be taken up later, or after the system
has been thoroughly perfected within
the United States proper. However,
the system between the United
States and Alaska, the Philippines
and Hawaiian Islands, az well Is
Porto Rico, will be put into opera
ton on January 1st.

TWO APPO|NTEES
 FOR POSTOFF|CE Miss Dora Crook and w. w. Battle Aspirants for the
 Jacksonville Office

ApAiston, December 7.-(Specal)-W. ". Battle acting postmaster of Jackson- vile, has been in Anniston this week, and his friends are very much interested as to the probable disposition of his appoint ment, which was sent in by President Taft during recess last summer.
 A peculiar situation is said to exist at this office. as there are said to be two apponitees, one democrat and the other republican, whose appointments have not been confirmed by the Senate. It is related that Miss Dora Crook former postmistress, was appointed and that MT Battles appointment came later. he being given the office.
 An interesting race is under way for appointment by President Wilson and confirmation by the democratic senate. Miss Crook is again an applicant and in addition to her are Col E. G. Caldwell, a former sheriff, and a number of others who are said to be receptive. Mir Battle says that he will not again apply for the place if he can bring about a confrma- ton of his recess appointment and get his commission, which would give hin. the office fer four years. He is said to have made good official since he has been in office, but Miss Crook, the former postmistress, is said to be very strong with Congressman Blackmon and the democratic senators with the result that she is generally believed to be in line for confirmation.
 4 somewhat similar situation exists here, where Postmaster C. R. Barker is serving under a recess appointment and has been acting without his commission for some time. He also says that he will not apply to the democratic administra- tion for appointment. but that he hopes to be confirmed.
 Congressman Blackmon has made no statement in regard to his attitude in the case of o. NJ. Reynolds, J. M William son, J. C. Wilson and S. P Kennedy. the four democrats who are applying for the position Of postmaster to succeed Mir. Barker.
