YACHT

Before the paIati&f American yacht
Cyprus, owned by Colonel D. C. Jack
ling, the multi millionaire, pays its
long-1eralded visit TO Honolulu on
the extended South Seas cruise, the
vessel will be much enlarged and i'm
proved. The vessel is at present IN
dergoing alterations at q Seattle ship
yard.
The principal alteration to the big
private yacht was the addition of
thirty-fve feet to her length. This
was added amidships and it was
necessary to cut the vessel in two
halves. The vessel was placed in
the dry dock, cut in two, the addition
al section built in and the craft then
doated again within the space Of IL
days, which is considered something
Of a record for hull alterations.
On the recent cruise Of the Cyprus
to Panama, Col. lacking found that
the crew space was not sufficiently
large to house comfortably the crew
of forty-eight men he wished to have
man the vessel, the designer only al.
lowing accommodations for about
thirty men, and believing that IN max.
ing every man Of his crew comfortable
and satisfied he would gain in Ell.
cheney from them, Col. Jackling de
cided to have the crew space en-
larged. Several new staterooms will
also be added. J
The weasel when completed will
now be 265 feet long and will have a
displacement of. about 1,200, tons. Her
engines are ample to drive her
through the water at her customary
speed of Is knots, despite the addition
in length Ine Cyprus originally cost
about $4,000, aad the present alter.
atoms will amount to about $l00, O0o.
Col. lacking is now in San Francis.
CO. and will make his headquarters
there, where he has rented the entire
twelfth floor of the new wing OF the
st. Francis hotel. .-.@s-. H..

DANGER OF TOO
MUCH DIVISION
SEEN BY WEAVER
Deputy City Attorney, in Writ
ing of WaterWorks Bill,
Urges Concentration

Significant indications that the
board of supervisors is planning to
separate the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the
water works and sewers almost en-
tirely from the engineering depart
ment, when the territory turns over
the water and sewer systems, are con-
tanned in a communication from Dep
uty-attorney Weaver to the board read
at its noon meeting today.
The letter, which also contains
some Of the deputy attorneys views,
is as follows: IT, ... ..s...
In regard to proposed bill organic
ing Honolulu water and sewer works,
wish to state in writing the general
plan of the bill and explain my view
with regard to 1t. $50 .......r,5
The Honolulu water and sewer
works are regarded by the territorial
statutes as two separate plants, with
expenses and receipts to be kept sep
arate. 6. -
"a have maintained that idea. ]
have also embodied most Of the rules
for water consumers in the ordinance,
which are now only rules Of the su,
perintendent Of public works. After
looking over statutes elsewhere, ]
found the Detroit water works ordin,
ance the most complete. Many of the
sections in chapter II are taken from
that city's ordinance. :. t,E
with regard TO the policy, of hav.
ing general manager over these de.
partments, separate and apart from
the department of city and county en-,
gineer. ] wish to say that ! have
drawn mp that chapter, according 10
oral Instructions from time to time,
in obedience to the wishes of the
board. -. 49, --1.-~-s% ~. -
my idea Is that all the activities
having to do with building, repairing.
tearing up or using streets, should be
under one head, by whatever name
the officer Is called. - s.

ma conflict Of plans. with the result

all the activities, by whatever means
that result is reached. The one head
is likely to be more efficient.
Two executive heads are likely to
call for greater expense and duplica.
ton Of effort. ..ss So, =. I, s.s 90 3.
These were my reasons for urging
in my original plan that only one
executive head be put over all the &C.

STRAITS


With a large percentage Of the sugar
shipped from the Hawaiian islands to
the east coast Of tie United States
passing through the famous waterway
at the tip end Of the South American
continent, much interest IL now at
taehed to the improvement in the
management Of increased shipping d.
verted in that direction through the
rebellion in Mexico which closed the
Tehuantepec railway to traffic.
With the arrival Of the American
Hawaiian freighter Missourian with
1880 tons Of island sugar at Puenta
Arenas on last Friday, having depart
ed from Hilo on April 80, 1t is now
stated that the Chileanf government
has requested that vessels passing
through the Straits Of Magellan shall
give their nationality, name and Of
fetal number by the use OF signals on
passing lighthouses at Dungeness.
Punta Delgada, San Isidro and Evan
gelistas, or any other lighthouse on
the straits which may ask for the In
formation. The announcement of the
ports OF departure would also be well
come. The Information thus obtained
win be kept by the Chilean govern
.ment for the information of ship-own-
.ers and other concerns throughout the
world or late years several steam
ers, notably the German cargo steam
Ter Acilia, have been reported missing
for months. The Chilean government
has no definite knowledge whether
this steamer or several other missing
ships passed the straits or not The
reports now asked for would lessen
the radius Of search for missing YES
sells, save considerable expense to
vessel owners, and aid the Chilean
government In its searches for missing
vessels. While few American vessels
pass through the Straits OF Magellan,
and there Is no law enabling the sec.
rotary of commerce to require vessels
to report, as asked. Secretary Red
field trusts that American ship cap
tains viii comply with these reason
able wishes Of the Chilean govern
ment. .>o
