To Divide Expense.

This sum. it is proposed TO divide
i. equally into four parts, the power in
terests, the river and harbor inter
estS. the state OF Minnesota and the
lands OF the white man and the In
diaO-each OF the latter bearing an
eighth.
Water power interests were repre-
scented at the meeting and to a GER
tain extent indicated that they would
be willing to stand share OF the
expense, but that they could not al
ford a quarter OF the cost Senator
d 7 % Nelll OF this city then advo-
Gated that ii he could influence the
, stat Legislature he would do so to
the end that II the undeveloped wa
ter power rights refused to pay their
just share, then these rights should
be taken from them and revert to
the people.
1t was generally conceded that the
high water in the Red Lakes was ex-
1ceSsive this year, some contending
that it might be due to heavy pre-
cipitation. while most OF those heard
/adVanCed the theory tuat it was due
~ the drainage OF lands around the
lakes into that large body OF water
and its increased volume being forced
down the Red Lake river. where
with no protecting banks it over
flowed with disastrous effects to
settlers along the banks for ten miles.
Settlers are Present.
Settlers from along the whole Red
Lake river valley from Highlanding
to the outlet OF the lake were present
and presented statements that they
had in several instances been forced
to Vacate their premises and that the
overflow of the river this past year
had certainly been disastrous to
them.
J. J. Opsah Of Bemidji called at
tention to the fact that the federal
government had already spent mil
lions in maintaing 225 miles of
navigable shore line on the upper
Mississippi while not cent had been
Sspent by the government on this
Very important body OF water. where
the development was just as equally
important. He believed that the
government. IL it was approached in
the right manner, would undertake
the work as outlined by Mr.. Dent.
Indians to Pay.
Daniel Shaw Of this city stated
'tnat the Indians Of the Red Lake
reservation had already asked the
government to drain their 100000
acres Of land at their expense, offer
ing to stand the cost thereof, and
:. protecting the government as to its
Expense by placing the standing tim
Der on the reservation as lien
against their lands. If this drainage
was put into effect 1t would make
their lands worth from $4,000 900

Is Mystery

The entire prison gang working on
the roads in Kula has Sbeen tied up
hard and fast in their quarters for the
past week on account of the develop
ment of case suspiciously like small
poX in one of the men. The suspect
according to DR.. c. p. Durney, who
first saw the case, is strongly suspic-
ious, and as a result the sick man has
been isolated with mother convict,
who has had the disease, as a nurse
The others are held simply as CON
facts" and will be released from the
quarantine as soon as the period of
incubation is past, provided no further
cases develop.
The man who is ill is Filipino who
has been in the gang but a short time.
He formerly lived in Wailuku on the
north side of the stream A careful
search of his former haunts fails to
reveal any evident source of his in
lection, which consequently remains a
mystery.

Senator Baldwin Must
Quit National Guard

Because Col. H. A. Baldwin will
probably be candidate for reelection
to succeed himself as member of the
senate, in next falls elections, he will
be compelled to drop his commission
as commander of the Third Infantry,
N. G. H. This is in accordance with
what has come to be accepted as the
requirement of the Organic Act which
prohibits member of the territorial
legislature from being appointed or
elected to any office of the Territory of
Hawaii"
Major Harry B. Penhallow who does
not intend to run for reelection will
continue to hold his commission.
The matter, which came up some
months ago, was brought to head
last week through the resignation of
Capt. II. L. Holstein, of Kohala, who
acting upon private advices from
Washington, insisted on leaving the
guard on account of the fact that he
will again be candidate to the legis-
lature. General Sam Johnson states
that an effort will be made to have the
Organic Act amended by Congress so
as to remove the technical disability.

Democrats Slow In
Announcing Ticket
Baldwin Believed To Be Easy Winner
For Senate Nomination - Good
ness Chances Also Good - Cooke
May Run

While 1t is understood that the
democratic leaders of Maui expect to
nave a full ticket in the field for the
primary election, now about six week
of, they are taking their time about
1t, for as yet but a single bourbon has
turned in his nomination papers. SO
far as is known. This is NJ. Picanco.
of Waituku, well known stone con
tractor, who is willing to take a seat
in the lower house of the legislature if
the electors of the county see fit to
send him.
The republican list seems fairly full
w. F. Pogue, whose name was men,
toned last week, has gotten in the
game from Makawao district, together
with a. F. Tavares, who wants another
term in the House. Although IL is
understood that G. p. Cooke, of Molo
kai is to run for the senate again,
nothing has yet been heard definitely
from him, though he may have filed
his nomination papers directly in Ho-
nolulu. H. A. Baldwin, seems about
certain of succeeding himself in the
senate, While the wise ones think that
Peruyia Goodness will have no trouble
in defeating Waiaholo for a Senate
seat.

Many Take Part In
Corner Stone Laying
Dedication OF Beginning OF Beautiful
Henry Perrine Baldwin Memorial
Is AuSpiciouSly Carried Through
Most Beautiful Church In Islands

Interesting and impressive were the
services in connection with the laying
of the cornerstone of the new Maka-
wac Union Church, on last Sunday
morning. A beautiful day seemed
prophetic of splendid consummation
of work of love SO we'll begun, and
the large congregation assembled
entered into the spirit of the occasion
with earnest enthusiasm. Following
the DoXology, the services were open
ed by the minister, the Rev. A. Craig
Bowdish with an invocation; and then
followed song and scriptural service
appropriate to the occasion. Mr.. Bowd-
ish was assisted by the Rev. r. B.
Dodge, who read a lesson from the
scripture and delivered a short ad-
dress.
AT the actual placing of the stone,
the Hon. II. A. Baldwin, on behalf of
the donors of the splendid memorial,
read brief address, replete with feel
ing and expressive of the motives that
had prompted the giving of a church
that will certainly rank second to
none in the Islands in point of beauty
and appropriateness.
One of the most appreciated feat
ures of the occasion was the singing
of two anthems by the famous Molo-
kai Choir, which happened to be on
Maui at the time. A duet by Mrs.
Louise c. Jones and Mr.. Harry Wash
burn Baldwin, was also beautifully
rendered.

character of the workmanship and of

substantial buildings in the Islands.

that this cannot be far from 100000.

Civic Convention
Plans Taking Shape
Special Rates For Maui Delegation
Program Covers 5 Days - Sight
Seeing Trips Arranged For -
County Fair Should Appeal To All

HILO, Aug 23.-Everything points
to most successful civic convention
and county fair at Hilo on September
21, %, %, "a and %. The arrange
ments are al perfected and every
body connected with the two big af-
fairs declares that ITilo is going to
put up record for actual business
accomplished and entertainment ar
ranged for the visitors to the Cres-
cent Bay City.
The various committees are work
ing hard on their parts of the program
and, one and all, the members say
that things are lining up in good
shape.
The Inter-Island Steamship Com
pany has quoted a reduced rate for
round trips from the different islands
to Hilo. Kauai people will be able
to visit Hilo and return to the Garden
Island at twenty-five dollar rate. That
is a great reduction and it will cover
the trip from Kauai to Honolulu to
Hilo and back over the same route
Maui folk can avail themselves of
round trip ticket which will cost
twelve and one-half dollars. In both
cases the Kauai and Maui people
must see to it that at least fifteen
delegates make the trip. Otherwise
the reduced rate will not apply on
the steamers. 1t would be advisable
to make reservations as soon as pos
siboe as it is certain that there will
be large rush of delegates seeking
stateroom accommodation on the Maui
ma Kea.
The, civic convention opens at Hilo
on Thursday morning, September 81,
at nine o'clock. The whole proceed
ings will be over by Monday afternoon
and the delegates can all be home on
Tuesday morning. During their stay
in Hilo the visitors will have a rail
road excursion to Laupahoehoe, a trip
to the Volcano, a trip through Puma,
a dance, banquet, minstrel show
provided by the Honolulu Ad Club
and a dozen other features thht will
keep them busy and amused when not
working on convention matters proper
The ladies who visit Hilo will be
specially entertained by the committee
appointed to look after them. Card
parties, afternoon teas and other
features will be provided for the visit
ing ladies. They will, of course, also
be taken on the railroad and auto
mobile trips.
The county fair plans are going
ahead well and the prospects are that
the huge Kuhio Bay Wharf will be
crowded with exhibits of all kinds.
Entries are rolling in and it is predict
ed that every section will be filled.
Beautiful silver cups and gold medals
have been donated as prizes for the
fair and the winners will bevery pleas
ed with the trophies they capture.
During last week representatives of
the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and the
Pacific Commercial Advertiser were in
Hilo gathering data for a special
number of each paper that will be is
sued before the date of the convention
and fair. This shows the interest

Island Electric NAV
Be Sold On Coast
Public Utilities Commission Hears
That Negotiations Have Been Un-
der Way To That End WOuld-Be
Buyer Has Money

HONOLULU, August 24.-That
negotiation are under way for the sale
of the Island Electric Company, of
Maui, was made public Tuesday after
noon by Charles R. Forbes, chairman
of the public utility commission, at a
meeting of that body. F. e. Blake,
manager of the Hawaiian Electric
Company of Honolulu, was present at
the commissions session, and in the
course of the talk he admitted that
the Honolulu concern at one time was
considering the purchase of the Maui
corporations plant and property, but
that negotiations failed, as a salts
factory valuation could not be agreed
upon.
Forbes said he had been approached
1nSan Francisco by man giving the
name of Van SAINT, who said he intend
ed purchasing the Maui company and
wanted to get some information con-
corning its standing as a public utility.
Blake said he had met the same man
here and that he had reason to believe
Van SAINT was able financially to hand
lie the deal. Mr.. Van SAINT had told
Forbes he seriously contemplated the
purchases. The talk did not disclose
any figures as to the price asked by
r. e. Bond, president of the Maui corp
Grafton, or the amount offered either
by the Honolulu firm or by the Coast
man.
1t is understood Mr.. Van SAINT is a
contractor who has handled a number
OF large projects on the Coast.

Young Engineer To
CaStLOt With China
Assistant To County Engineer Cox
Takes Bride And Plans To Work
In Country Of His Ancestors =
Bride Is Sister To Mrs. Tom Gun

Apau Paul Low, assistant county en-
gineer, and one of the brightest
young Chinese of the Territory, was
married at o'clock last Tuesday ev-
ening in Honolulu to Miss Anna V.
Tong, a charming-American belle of
San Francisco, who had arrived the
same morning by the steamer Lurline.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rt Rev. Henry Bond Restarick, at the
home of the groom's brother. The
happy young couple will make their
home for the present in Wailuku.
Mr. Low met his bride while he
was studying at Stanford University,
several years ago. She was a student
at the University of California, and is
the daughter of wealthy Chinese
merchant of San Francisco. She is a
sister of Mrs. Tom Gum, the young
aviator, who made the only aeroplane
fllsnts ever attempted on Maui.
May Go To China
Although both Mr.. Low and his
bride are American-born and are very
frankly American in sentiment, it is
understood that they contemplate
leaving for China in the no distant
future, where they expect to become
actively identified with the great mod
ern development which is so rapidly
awakening that vast country Mr..
Low has been connected with the
county engineers Office for upwards of
year, and is said to be rendering
most satisfactory service. He holds
high record for scholarship in his
university, and those who are acquain-
ted with him believe brilliant future
awaits him in the practice of his pro
fession in China.

Would Relieve Situation - Garcia
Would Have New Reservoir

By the present time, barring the de-

the reconstructed Wailuku- Kahului
waterworks system would be supply

water to consumers. AS it is, it is i'm
possible to say when the job will be
done. A part of the pipe has arrived
but the uncertainty of getting steel
products at present, together with diff
lculties in transportation have made
the contract of the Hugh Howell Com
pany, with the Loan Fund Commission,
pure piece of guess work. Most of
the excavation and tunnel work has
been done for several weeks, as has al
so the diverting dam and settling
basin, and with the pipe on hand two
weeks should see the job ready for
turning over to the county
Advises New Reservoir
Antoine Garcia, superintendent of
the local waterworks, in his monthly
report to the County Engineer, rec
commends that steps be taken to have
constructed new 100000 gallon res
ervoir near the present one to provide
storage. Mr.. Garcia, in speaking of
the matter stated that the present
reservoir holds scarcely sufficient for
one days supply for Wailulcu and Kah-
ului, and that in case of an accident
to the supply main a water famine
would be at once imminent The cost
of the new reservoir, he says, would
be about $4,000.

'lectlons made for the month of July
of $15S9.52
