A WATER COMMISSION.

(From the Garden Island, Kauai
Enough water runs to waste In the sea from
the strip of country between koloa and hliauea
to keep irrigated every acre of land on the
island of Kauai.
The photographic bureau is familiar with
the fact. the government is in possession OF the
information and the public knows it IN gen.
eral way.
What is required is that this surplus water
be conserved and distributed-be kept from
wasting itself into the sea and be turned upon
the lands requiring it.
How may this be donei It will g, call it for q,
brains and capital. 4sf ~ gs3ea t4a
Ahead of that, however, must come a regard
for the interests of the public at large, as
against individual interests We assume that
It will be admitted, even in this community,
that the public has some rights occasionally
Referring the matter to disinterested com
mission has been suggested. By all means. 1t
would probably be, hard matter to find a
body of competent citizens on the island who
would be disinterested in such project, but it
is possible. If it can be DONE an ideal system
might easily be created-a system that would
put an end to the water troubles of the east end
and probably all over the island.
If Governor Pinkham is unable to see his way
clear under the law to create such commission
now, he should defer action on any further
large water propositions on this island until the
Legislature may authorize such a body and
clothe it with the necessary authority. Action
on any large water matters will not be called
for under eighteen months, while in year from
this date the legislature may provide all the
law required
We would like tosee the governor ginger up
on this proposition, for the suggestion is well
worth while, and to our mind it is entipely1
feasible.

Pertinent extracts from Sutton's
letter follow:
"The Moana Hotel is to be consider
ably enlarged and one wing is
planned to extend along the boundary
of the right of way in question. This
right of way does not meet Kalakaua
avenue at right angle, and as it will
simplify building operations if the

with the approval of the land board

THE BIGGEST BATTLE.

This is the ninth week of what the dispatches
refer to as the biggest battle in history In
numbers engaged, it SURPRISES even the bloody
months of last year when the Germans were
making their successful drive at Warsaw and
beyond. Then the actual number OF troops IN
the general arena may have been larger, but not
more than half of them were ever in action at
any one time
In the Verdun section when the present bat
tie developed to its full fury, say six weeks ago,
something like million men were engaged on
both sides. On the 40-mile firing-lin which
stretches its terrible semi circle around Verdun
heights, from the Mouse above st. Mihiel to
Avocourt, the Germans have between $500 and
1000 big guns In action or in reserve, and ex-
I.rts figure the average weight of the shells at
10 pounds There is shot fired nearly every
second Of. the day, and thus upon the battered
French positions nearly 1000 tons Of metals are
rained every hour The French have nearly if
not quite as many guns and shells as the Ger
mans. Small wonder that the slaughter is be-
yond power of actual comprehension. Even on
one of the ssquiet days. men are crushed as
falling rock would crush a swarming colony OF
ants.

HIS LAST WEEK

what more fitting than that Jesus and
His twelve should celebrate the ser
vice together, in room set apart!
Jesus selected the meeting place, and
was saddened somewhat by the con.
tention among the apostles as to their
relative place in the kingdom that
was soon to be declared Then fol-
lowed that sublime lesson in which
He washed the feet of them all, and
they sat down to meat.
Unable to refrain from what was
uppermost in His mind, Christ re-
ferred to His betrayal in such a way
that Judas Iscariot could stand it NO
longer and left, The Lords Supper is
a favorite theme fer preachers and
for painters of religions art. and is
one OF the best-lknown stories IN Bible
teaching. The wonderful conversation
of Jesus with. His disciples. and His
microscopy prayer before j0urneying
forth to the Mount of Olives are
among the choicest bits of New Tesla
ment literature that have done much
to endear the Masters of His heart
hungry followers in all the centuries
since.
