WEEDS ONPUNCHBONL Range GROW
ASFAST AS PRISONERS DIG EN- UP

Thirty prisoners sent out by High
Sheriff William p. Jarrett are in camp
in the Punchbowl, where they have
been for about two months trying to
conquer the weeds and brush growing
there, as the first step toward putting
the Punchbowl in shape for use by the
National Guard of Hawaii as a rifle
range and camping grounds.
1t has been found by the men that
as soon as one part Of the land is
cleared it is necessary to start again
on previously cleared land where
weeds again grow up. This condition
is being gradually overcome by TAX
ing out the roots of small plants and
burning dried grass and brush, and it
is expected that within a few weeks
at the most ground will be in condi-
ten to level

Men viii Be Busy Preparing for
Carnival Parade During

Revision of the tentative program
for the National Guard tournament to
be held this-winter is in the hands Of
o committee on which are Lieut.. col.
w. r. Riley and Capt. G. E. Sehaefer,
and within 10 days or two weeks q
report is expected from them outlining
in full the events which viii compose
the tournament. The committee viii
also possibly recommend a date for
the events and it is believed that this
will be some time in the early part of
March. The original plan was to
have the tournament in February, be-
fore the opening of the Carnival, but
the troops viii be busy during Febru-
airy preparing for the great parade
which will take place on Washingfon's
Birthday and it is thought by many Of
the officers of the guard that the tour
nament can be held to better advan-
tage in March.
Before the tournament and as q

CABLE TO
BELAID UNDER
Water TO ALERT
Submarine Tender win Be Con-
nected With Honolulu; Now
Isolated at Pearl Harbor.

Telephonic communication from Ho-
nolulu under half a mile OF water to
the u. s. s. Alert, tender for the
third submarine division, is expected
to be possible about January /. When
this Is a fact, IT viii help to relieve
the magnificent but somewhat Robin
son Crusoeish isolation which is now
the lot OF the X fiotilla at its base on
Magazine Island, Pearl Harbor.
AZ the present time, the only way
OF taking to the submarines and the
Alert from the naval station here Is
By wireless. Within q few weeks,
however, a special underwater cable
VIII be laid from the Pearl Harbor
exchange across the harbor TO Maya
zfne Island. where 1t win be connect
ed with the Alert's telephone. II will
then be possible to talk from Homo
lain direct to the ship.
When the Alert was stationed here,
q Mutual Telephone Company phone
was d much-used part of the ships
equipment, orders being transmitted
to the nip from the Offices of the
c0nm1n1hnt at Pearl Harbor every
day. The telephone was, kept busy
every day during the IA salvage oper-
atoms; and was also used for every
thing from ordering groceries and sup
plies to arranging appointments for
social aiiairs.
Speaking Of isolation, the Alert's
men are not suffering from lack Of
hair cnts. even though ten miles from
q barber shop. They have rugged up
3 tonsorial parlor on shipboard. where
chins are moved and hair cropped at
an astonishing rate several days in
every week.

To Be 200 Feet Longer Than

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Some idea
of the size and power of the super
battlecruisers proposed as part Of the
lew naval program may be gained
from the fact that each one would
be 500 feet long than twice as
long as any battleship which partici-
pated in the Spanish-American war,
more than 200 feet longer than any
battleship now afloat and 10 feet long

cruisers are proceeding at the model
basin in the Washington navy yard to
determine just how much horsepower

knots an hour, the speed fixed by the
navy general board. 1t will take six
separate sets of steam turbines, it is
understood, operating six propellers
to attain that pace and the huh de-
signs of the models show a huge,
square cross section amidships in or.
der to accommodate the mass of ma
chinery.

There is no longer any doubt about
the amount of horsepower required to
drive a ship of known design at any
desired speed. The model basin has
done away with speculation on that
point. 1t is q huge tank several hun.
