Capt. Max SchIemmer, Once
king of Laysan," Returns
to Former Domain

The preparations Of Holsters, which
are said to grow to large size near
islands and reefs incorporated in the
federal bird reservation to the west
ward of the Hawaiian group, may de-
mand much attention from Captain
Max Schlemmer, veteran navigator,
for years resident of Laysan. where
he conducted plant which produced
and shipped guano to Honolulu.
Schlemmer, who last visited Laysan
and Lyszinsky islands seven years
ago, has chartered the schooner yacht
Helene. He will leave Honolulu for
his erstwhile domain today, acompan.
led by several members of his family,
When the guano yield from the di.
minutive islet was at its height
Schlemmer was styled King of Lay
san" He had erected a number of
buildings as dwellings for himself and
a little colony of japanese laborers.
The island also boasted Of a light
house. warehouses and a short railway
line over which was: moved material
that entered into the manufacture of
fertilizer :,
The waters surrounding Laysan are
said to TEEN with fish. The island is
visited by thousands of huge Holsters,
the meat of which, prepared by pro-
cess known to Schlemmer and hui
of Japanese capitalists, it is predicted
will find a lucrative and ready mar

ket not only in Hawaii but through
out the Orient and on the mainland
Much work remains to be done re-
fitting the buildings now standing on
Laysan. The island has been fire
Quently swept by gales which in some
Instances have leveled the structures
Schlemmer, who has resigned his pc
sition as caretaker of the Odd Fellows
build g, recently made application
for the office OF warden of Laysan
The matter is yet up for consideration
at Washington. ~.
Should the plans of Schlemmer and
his financial hackers fully materialize
the preparation of fish and Holsters
will be conducted at Laysan and Ho-
rolulu. The meat may be shipped to
Honolulu to be packed for the market
Experiments now under way have
shown that the millions of birds eggs

street and there saw the two girls
making good time down towards Wal
akea. Then there went up yell that
awakened two alert officers who were
dreaming of what the new board of
supervisors will do to the police pay
roll. Shortly afterwards two small
girls were marched up to the police
station and Father Louis was sent for
Louis is always sent for when small
delinquents are sent to the police sta
ton. The good priest generally knows
who the youngsters are. and he has a
way of quietly setting the kids on the
right path that leads away from Jail.
There is q probability that the girls
may be sent to the Girls Reform
School in Honolulu.

Tunnel in Hills Back of City
Would Tap Sufficient Flow
For Next so Years

With an initial investment, OF about
s1;5oo.Oeo Honolulu can duplicate, on
smaller scale, the Waiahole tunnel
and obtain a water supply sufficient
TO adequately serve the city for SC
years, allowing for normal increase
> OF population, according to j. Jorgen
sen, civil and contracting engineer
ard who is constructing the Wa.ahole
bcfS
- The tunnel expert recommends that
a survey be made Of the hills in the
vicinity OF the city-eitheT back OF
Aiea or in Nuuanu or Manoa valley
heads-preferably the former On
completion of the survey he deems ii
advisable to make test bores from
the windward side for distances OF
about 1000 or 1000 feet. If a good
strike is located, then he believes the
tannel should be continued until it is
opened through to the Honolulu side
of the range.
Information on the construction OF
tunnels has been given first hand by
Mr.. Jorgensen to city officials and 9TH
ers interested in the city's water sup
ply. The Waiahole bore was made
first with the intention of tapping
streams on the windward side of the
i.island which flow a minimum stream
of 30,0G0.0g0 gallons of fresh water
every "a hours.
. The. tunnel has not yet reached
these streams, but an unexpected
source of supply was secured from
seepage in the solid rock which now
flows z4,0Q0,000 gallons daily OF this

flow ont OF the south portal OF the
lnain shaft and 2S,000,00 are being
caught on the north end of the tunnel
This main shaft is not yet connected
and probably viii not be for 81
months or more.
There are, besides the main shaft
Is tunnels on the windward side anl
l3 tunnels on the Honolulu side ol
the range. and several more are to be
built according to the general plans
Completed, the tunnels will represent
an investment of about $2.500,000. The
water will be served to the Oahu Su
gar Company. The main shaft has a
capacity of 15o,000,000 gallons daily
Besides the $4,000 annual rental, flat
rate, that the company pays the terri
tory for tapping several of the gov,
ernment's hills, the water concern, 4
is said, must pay a royalty of So pei
million gallons to private estate fol-
driving through the latter's hills.
The beard Of supervisors Tuesday
night passed resolution providing for
an appropriation of $4,000 and the ap
pcintment of a commission of five tun'
mel experts to survey the hills and
prospect for water. 1t is probable that
Mayor Lane will submit his appoint,
ments to the board for the latter's ap.
prevail at next Tuesdays meeting.
Mr.. Jorgensen expects to complete
the tunnel to carry the water from the
main shaft to the Oahu Sugar Com.
pany's plantation about next Monday
At present the water from the main
shaft is running into the gulch. The
stream in the main shaft will be di-
yerted into the carrying tunnel. About
$50 acres of new land has been plant.
cd in anticipation of this water and
about 900 additional acres are being
without good irrigation, and
the Waiahole water is to irrigate

FORT SKATER, June 25.-Rapid
/ strides are being made in the i'm
| proyement of the cantonment in the
way of walks and roads. The engin-
GERS have recently completed two grad
ed roads leading from the main post
to the cantonment, and the command
ing officer has reserved the north
road leading past the Headquarters
building for the use of automobiles.
This road has been oiled and is in
splendid condition. The walks in front
of the officers quarters are being torn
up to make way for new ones of a
more permanent character
The quartermaster is constructing
new double set of officers quarters

likely to be rather a serious one this

!. HAWAII HIT BY
NO-TARIFF Law

The progress and prosperity of Ha.
wall are set forth in recent bulletin
of the Department of Commerce. Ship
ments from our island ward to the
United States have grown from $751;
100000 in 1897 to $4,000, 900 in 1914,
while cur sales to the islanders have
increased from $500, 900 in 1897 to
$21, 100000 in 1914 Hawaiis sugar
production in the past ten years has
amounted in value to 1864 100000. Last
year $39,000,000 worth came to this
country, along with canned pineapples.
coffee, hides and skins and some other
articles which made up the total OF
s4S,000,000. This years sugar crop is
estimated at $4,000 tons. 1t is Ha-
waits largest producing industry;
larger than all others combined. Its
present condition is one of prosperity.
But what Of the future? In little
less than a year. when free-trade in
sugar shall have gone into effect. Ha-
waiian sugar will have to compete in
the United States market with the SUI
gar of the world; with the enormous
supply of cane sugar from Cuba and
with the beet sugar of Europe, all
coming in free of duty. Then the
Hawaiian sugar growers will be in the
same boat with the sugar growers of
Louisiana and the sugar beet farmers
of our northern states: all of them
sufferers from the insane policy of
free trade in sugar. Hawaiians have
no vote in Presidential elections, but
they will welcome the return of pro
lection that is to come as the result
of the election of 1916.--American Eco.
