.H|LO T|CKLED OVER
CAMPBELL's PROGRAM
Public Works Plan Is to Make
Water Run Up HiIl-HiIo
Doubts if 1t Can Be Done.
(Mail Special to The Advertiser. }

HILO, August 2.-The Old Tesla
ment relates that Joshua made the sun
stand still in the valley of Ascalon and
the Hawaiian legend has it that the
demi-god Maui performed a somewhat
leakala. Archimedes claimed that, if
he were given point whence to apply
leverage, he could move the earth
while King Canute commanded, though
vainly, the ocean to turn back. In this
day of scepticism and higher criticism
faith in miracles is on the wane, and il
is therefore a particularly singular Op-
portunity which will be given Hilo in
the Immediate future, when the Terri
tory will select this town as the scene
for the performance of miracle.
The miracle is to be performed under
the direction of Marston Campbell.
He proposes to make water run up
hill.
This performance is the direct result
of the sale by the Territory of the lane
which ran from Smithville to Front
street, which, as well as the sewer
which ran under it, was sold to Hata,
who now finds the sewer in the way of
his cellar and threatens to remove it.
In this connection the superintend-
ent of public works has written to his
agent, ID. s. Bowman, who had passed
the matter up to his superior. He
recommends extending Smith street to
Furneaux lane and running the sewer
along that.
Campbell's proposition has been met
by the county authorities with howl
of derision First of all il has been
pointed out that the point on Richard
son street to which Campbell proposes
to run the sewer from Nippon alley, is
about four inches higher than the place
which Campbell would fain drain into
it.
The county officials are men of little
faith. They actually express doubt
that even Marston can make the sewer
contents run up hill. They want to be
shown.

KAU DITCH BILL HAD
TO BE ALL EXPLAINED

1t was only after George Mex. Me-
Clellan, secretary of Delegate Kalanian-
aole, had made a strenuous fight that
the Kau Ditch Bill was passed in the
senate in the form necessary to allow
the project to become a success.
Senators Poindexter, Washington, and
Bristow, of Kansas, held that bill up
for a long time but their objections
were finally met. Mr., Mcclellan and
Senator Clapp, the latter of the com
mittee on Pacific Islands and Porto Ri
co, held quite q long parley with the two
objecting parties. Mr.. Mcclellan ex.

The selection of Lieutenant Colonel
John +. Morrison, infantry, as mem
her of the army board now holding ses-
sions in Honolulu to determine n broad
err and more detailed plan for making
Oahu impregnable to attack, was large
ly due to his special attainments as a
technical officer who had followed the
Japanese armies in the Russo-Japanese
war. There were FIVE American army
officers detailed by the war department
to follow the Japanese and observe
their methods of fighting They were
Colone! Crowder, Major Oliver Wood
Captain J. Z. Kuhn, Captain Frederick
Marsh and Colonel Morrison, then a
captain.
He reached his majority October TO-
1905, and on that date was in Honolulu
returning from Manchuria. He re-
ceived notification here, when the
transport Sherman arrived from Ma

tenant. Colonel Baldwin.
Colonel Morrison was one of the
fortunate fourteen Yankee officers sc.
lected by the war department for OBJ.
IN Manchuria the largest delegation
ever entrusted by our government with
such mission-to study the science of
killing. All branches of the American
army and naval service were represent
ed on the Japanese side. They were
selected with great care, all being men
of surprising courage and perspicuity.
Colonel Morrison acquainted the war
department with the newest scientific,
administrative and technical develop
ments of the war, and noted all novel
ties in small arms, ordnance, gunsight-
ing, uniforms, tents, accoutrements,
war balloons, field telegraph devices,
signals and hospital service.
Colonel Morrison and his brother Of
ficers were technically the guests of the
late Mikado, his generals in the field
acting as hosts. Colonel Morrison had
splendid opportunities to study real
war and rs result he had much to do
in the compiling of the newest field
regulations for infantry, and it was
while testing these regulations with
the American provisional regiment re-
Gently that he received orders detailing
him as a member of the army board for
Oahu. Upon this board are Brigadier.

PROPERTY VALUE
OF PACIFIC MAIL
What Hartman Paid for Control
and Present Quotations
of Stock.

NEW YORK, July 24.-The property
Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
is selling in the open market for about
S6,2Oo,000, there being two hundred
thousand shares outstanding, and the
current market price being thirty.one.
The Southern Pacific owns just enough
to control, for which f. II. Hartman
paid about $50 a share in 1900 when
the stock was paying three per cent
dividends annually. When Hartman
assumed control, dividends were
stopped, earnings all put back into the
property ana the Southern Pacific
loaned the company $1,700,0O0 to build
| additional steamships. This loan was
all paid by the end of the fiscal year
1907, but since that time there has
been n deficit from operations every
year and the total deficit of the COM
| pany, which had been reduced to $780,
lS3,0TS in 1907, has been increased to
sl1 ,s63,995.
Pacific Mail owns and operates lines
of steamers plying between San Fran.
cisco and Honolulu, Yokohama and
| Hon9kong, also from San Francisco to
Panama and Mexican and Central
American points. Its property consists
of eighteen steel aud iron ocean going
steamers, of which seven are engaged
in the transpacific service, with other
necessary floating equipment and real
estate, buildings, machinery, etc, To-
| Gated at Panama Bay, Colon, Hong.
kong, San Francisco, Yokohama and
other points.
Pacific Mail is heavily handicapped
in its lack of subsidy from the fed
eral government. This line has to com
pete with Canadian and japanese lines
both of which are literally subsidized
Passenger traffic takes the Pacific Mai
steamships because they are more com
Portable, but the foreign steamships
take the freight because the subsidies
allow them to make cheaper rates.
| In 1900 when Southern Pacific
bought control, the stock sold at 81
and with the passing of the dividend
declined to 25M, but in 1901 and 1905
sold at nearly $50 a share again. The
depression of 1903 carried it down tC
| II with n recovery to So in 1904 The
panic price of 1907 was 10 and the re-
covery in 1909 was 4Sh. It has SOLD
at 80 this year, or higher than it went
in 1911, but at present prices Southern
Pacific g investment shows a deprecia
ton of 100000 and the company ha'
had no other return for twelve years
than the benefits which have been de
rived from transpacifc line to supple
ments its transcontinental railways.

wORKMEN OWN THEIR HOMES.
Ordinary Rent Pays for Them i'm a
Few Years by Building and
Loan Method.

The best method for enabling the
working man to own his own home
is that afforded by the American
system of building and loan associa-
tions. In many states it is called the
savings and loan bank, the home
stead bank, or building society; only
in Massachusetts is it called a CO
operative bank. 1t is more success
full in America than elsewhere, for
5000 of these local societies to e.
courage home ownership exist in the
United States, with about 1880, 1000
members, and with assets in exec IS
of one million dollars, says the editor
of Farm and Home. With the i'm
proved management now in vogue,
they are rapidly increasing their
membership and usefulness. Penn
sylvania has 1900 of these peoples
institutions, with nearly $170,000,-
600 of assets and over 100000 mem
bers. Ohio, New Jersey and Illinois
each have over 500 of these banks.
Their assets in Ohio are almost as
great as in Pennsylvania, while in
each of several other states these
little but effective institutions have
total of from so to 100 millions of
dollars in assets.
This money is practically all de-
posted by working men in monthly
dues and loaned to working men for
the purpose of paying for homes.
The loan is secured by first mort
gage, which is taken for as high as
80 per cent of the value of the prop
erty. The loan is paid off in monthly
installments of principal and interest,
which makes even large proportion
of the total value of the mortgaged
property safe loan. On each $500
borrowed the borrower pays 81
monthly upon the principal over and
above the interest. The money thus
paid in begins to draw interest at
once, and this helps to gradually re-
duce the principal owed, SO that at
6 per cent the loan is paid off in
about 140 months.
The system is based on the funda-
mental fact that the rent paid by
the average working man is suffi-
cient to buy and pay for his own
home in 10 to II or 10 years, after
which he owns it free and clear.
The rate of interest varies from 5 to
Z per cent.

MAYOR DAUBNEY DEAD
Chief Executive of City of DEBORAH
For Sixteen Years Goes
to Reward.
DEATH CAME FRIDAY MORNING
Most Prominent Citizen SuCcumbs &C
Disease From Which He Has
Suffered For Number
of Years.

At 2:30 o'clock Friday morning
death came to the release of Mayor
F. w. Daubney, who had been suf-
ferer from diabetes for three or four
years, and for two weeks had been
confined to his room.
In his death the city of DEBORAH
loses it's chief executive, who for
sixteen years has directed the public
policies of one of the most metro
politan cities of it's size in America
He saw DEBORAH advance from a
mediocre country town to a hand
some little city, with all modern i'm
provements, splendid public build
ings, beautiful homes and we'll kept
streets, practically all of which has
come during his administrations.
Much of this advancement is due
to his broad-minded, enterprising
public spirit; to his answering de-
votion to the trying business of the
city; to his active participation in
every public movement that tended
toward the betterment of the city
and the advancement of it's people,
He leaves a void that will be hard
to fill.

March 5, 1888, after a six months
course. Then he came to DEBORAH.
since which time he has enjoyed an
unusually extensive and successful
practice.
Politically, he was a republican,,
always leader in the councils of
the party and an active participant
in conventions and campaigns. In
1897 he was the candidate of the re-
publican party for State Senator. In
the spring of 1895 he was urged to
accept the position of Mayor of De-
corah, and has served continuously
in this capacity since that time with
the exception of two years. AS a
fraternalist, he was a distinguished
leader. He was made a Mason by
Union Band Lodge, No. 66, at Frank
vile, and for five years was master
of Great Lights Lodge, No. ISL of
this city. He was also High Priest
of King Solomon's Chapter, r. A.
NJ. for several years, and for about
fifteen years past has been Eminent
Commander of Beaussant Command
cry, No. II, Knights Templar. He
was the first Exalted Ruler of De-
corah Lodge, No. 443, B. p. 0. Eiks,
serving for several years in this
capacity. During his life he had also
been prominent member of the
knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows.
Modern Woodmen, Yoemen and
Maccabees. In all these gatherings
he was welcome and earliest
worker, sincere and faithful in the
performance of whatever duties
came to him.
To his union, September 2, 1880,
with Miss Edith Lucinda Strayer,
who died in this city, June 26, 1901,
one son, Morris Wilson, was born

The family of Prof. H. S. Hilleboe
of Luther College has been peculiar
ly unfortunate since coming to De-
corah, and the profound sympathies
of the entire community go out to
them in their sad bereavements and
distresses. They moved to DEBORAH
from Benson, Mimi, short time
previous to the opening of Luther
College this fall, and son was
taken sick on the way, from which he
never recovered and died few weeks
ago. Friday noon the wife and
mother succumbed to typhoid fever,
and three other children are i'll with
the same disease. The nurse was
also stricken, and was taken to the
hospital at Rochester, Mimi. The
overfowing cup of sorrow which has
come to this family has called out
the sincere coincidence of all who
have learned of it, with the earnest
hope that these now suffering may
be speedily restored to health and
strength.

in Calmar. Nov. 1, 1864, the daugh-
