ANOTHER WHARF
FOR HILO Will
BERECOMMENDED
Chairman Forbes Says $780,
600 Pier 600 Feet Leng is
Needed in Kuhio Bay

Construction of a 500. 1000 concrete
wharf in Kuhio bay, Hilo, will be re-
commended to the board of harbor
commissioners at its meeting tomor.
Tow afternoon at 1899, by Charles r.
Forbes, superintendent OF public
works and chairman OF the board.
Forbes this morning on MS return
from Hilo confirmed the following
message received by the Star-Bulletin
late yesterday from its Hilo cores
pondent:
Superintendent Forbes approves of
construction of new concrete wharf
in Kuhio bay to accommodate steam
ers Of the Inter-Island."
When asked by the Star-Bulletin to
confirm this message, Forbes said:
Il will recommend tomorrow TO the
board of barber commissioners the
construction of new concrete wharf
Tor kuhio Bay, situated in the vicin-
ity OF the present .Kuhio wharf, about
500 feet from IT,
The new wharf. which in my opin-
ion is necessary there, will be built
ON different angle from Kuhio
wharf, so that both sides can be used
by steamers. Only one side OF the
new Kuhio wharf is available to YES
sells
Another recommendation | intend
making TO the harbor board is to
dredge Kuhio- bay SO that vessels of
larger draft, such as the Great Nor
thern and Matsonia, can maneuver
more easily than at present.
The proposed wharf will be about
500 feet by 100 wide, with roof over
It's entire length II will be built of
concrete, and will have the latest and
most efficient equipment for handling
sugar and other kinds of freight. hi
snail recommend that the board ask
the next session of the legislature
meeting in February. for an appropria-
ton OF 100000 to cover the cost"
The superintendent added that bor.
lngs will be started at once on the
site OF the proposed wharf, to determ.
Inc whether there is any obstacle to
erecting il there. According to Com
missioner c. J.. Mccarthy of the har.
DoF board, there is a great deal OF

Powers in His Lecture

About 300 japanese attended the
second lecture given by Kazan Kaya.
bara at the Japanese Central Insti.
tue on Nuuanu street Monday night.
In part, the lecturer said that funda-
mental peace with the United States
and Japan is the only way to ALLEVIATE
Australia from Great Britain, FER
colonization by the Japanese across
the sea there are only the South
American countries, the United States
and Canada. besides the South Sea
Islands and Australia. But among
these counties We must choose a
country where there are not too many
inhabitants before us. On this point
Australia should be chosen, as there
are only four men to one square mile
in that country, and sufficient ground
for our settlements and colonies.
We have some reasons to bring
this matter before the powers. The
Japanese government should make &
strong protest when her subjects are
refused admission to any country. If
We cannot do it ALPHABETICALLY, we can
DO IL some other way.
The Anglo-J apanese treaty is of
little use to Japan. Why then csa
we not form an alliance with Ger
many. to succeed in our plans? Our

ant questions in their minds.
OF the so-called powers in the

others, will receive most attention.
These subjects will be discussed

esting features of the programs
which have been conducted by the
Iowa State Dairy Association on it's
special campaigns during the past
two years. The farmers are en-
-couraged to bring in their milk
COWS and exhibit them at some
central point in the town. The
animals are carefully judged and
are placed in accordance with their
milk producing characteristics. No
preference is given any breed and
every COW is given a fair chance.
1t is especially urged that the

just as many cows as they can in

required to carefully compare the
four animals in the class and after
an allotted time, each contestant
writes on special blanks his or
her reasons for placing the class
of cows. A discussion follows and
every one is invited to express
their views.
One Of the important features of
such meeting is the discussion
which follows the lectures. Any
questions which are suggested
will be discussed thoroly and an
swered in practical way.
The entire program will be free
and every one is invited to attend.
