Harbor Commissioners Adopt
Resolution Requesting Action
by u. S. Government

Col. Charles j. Mccarthy. member
of the board of haFbor commissions
ers, introduced the following resolu.
ton, calling for the federal depart
ment of rivers and harbors to approve
the Kahili harbor extension project.
which was faYorably reported on last
January by, the u. s. engineer for
the district Of Hawaii:
Whereas, the United States Engi.
neer. District of Hawaii. has made a
survey of the Palama Basin, adjoin-
ing the present harbor Of Honolulu.
and mas reported to the head office as
of January 5th, 1914. recommending
that the reserve channel connecting
the present harbor OF Honolulu with
the said Palama basin be dredged TO
a width of 400 feet: and, Whereas.
the Port of Honolulu win when the
Panama canal is ready for commerce
be greatly in need OF waterfront
space for coaling wharyes and areas
Of land adjoining the wharves for coal
storage; and
Whereas, at the present time there
is but one coal wharf in the port, and
that the property OF private parties.
and which at present time is made
quate for the coaling business OF the
port, and while no LAID is available
on the north side of the harbor for
coaIIng wharyes, or coal storage and
Sand Island on the south side Of the
harbor is not available for the pur
poses on account OF the narrowness
of the Harbor Of Honolulu at this
point; and
Whereas, the United States govern.
ment has $50 acres OF land in the
southerly side of the proposed RE
served" channel, all Of which will be
reclaimed by the dredged material
from said channel, and as such un-
claimed lands will not be required by
the federal government for quarantine
or other purposes but would provide
ample waterfront area for coal
wharyes and coal storage sufficient 70
accommodate the prospective busi
ness of the port of Honolulu, and as
this accommoda tion for American ma
rhine commerce is q vital necessity
for. its Pacific Ocean business, and as
this. provision cannot be afforded
American commerce elsewhere in mid
Pacific trade routes;
Therefore, be 1t resolved by the
Board of HaEhor Commissioners Of

pectfully but urgent request the

ment of rivers and harbors, to ap-
prove the report of the United States

TEACHERS sign
CONTRACT ONA
BUSINESS BASIS

Teachers in the public schools are
being mailed formal contracts; which
they will be asked to sign, under the
signature Of the superintendent of pub
lie instruction, H. w. Kinney.
This is the first time teachers nave
been asked to sign such paper, but
the innovation is apparently meeting
with their approval, as several OF the
agreements have been returned al
ready bearing the required signatures.
One feature of this agreement is the
stipulation that teacher who volun-
tartly quits during the term without
giving the superintendent two weeks
notice forfeits all salary remaining un.
paid. H.. = ~.
: There are two kinds of contracts
one called the regular" and the other
the provisional" The regular ones
are being sent to the teachers who are
regularly in the employ of the depart
ment, while the others are for those
who have not completed their examin-
atoms OR for some other reason have
not been given a definite position for
the vel pr.
Because a teacher has not reeeiv.
ed a contract" said Superintendent
Kinney, ''it- does not mean that. she
has not been appointed, but merely
that the appointment is not absolutely
definite as yet"

within a radius of several hundred
miles Of that section of Micronesia,
Miss Mabel d. DelapeTte, the 17-year-
old daughter of Rev. Philip Delaporte
a missionary teacher, arrived in San
Francisco yesterday on the steamer
Sierra. She is at the Bellevue Hotel
with friends, and will leave in a few
days for Oberlin, Ohio, where sha will
enter school.
Miss Delaporte believes that she has
gone through more perils and hard
ships than any other girl OF her age
in the world. Nau-ru is about 4 quar-
ter degree of latitude south of the
equator and 200 miles east of Gilbert
Island
When the Delaportes first went
among thom, the natives were almost
savage, wore little or no clothing, had
no idea Of the white mans ways in
anything. and worshiped idols. Ships
called at the Cut-of-way place only
once a year, and the little missionary
family had hard time conserving sup
plies. They were taken captive and
threatened with death many times.
Miss De'apOrte will enter the high
school at Oberlin and later will enroll
as student at the college thefe. San
