Plan CONCRETE
WHARF AT FORT
KAMEHAMEHA

Plans and specifications have been
drawn UP in the office Of the con-
structing uuartermaster, Hawaiian De-
partment, for the construction OF a
big modern concrete wharf at Fort
Kamehameha. Bids will be opened on
the wharf May 81. -.
Two hundred feet In length and To-
Gated at the end of an earth mole that
projects 500 feet into the water, the
big wharf will furnish model place
for the largest mine-planters plying
these waters to lie alongside and take
on or discharge cargoes. -.
Estimates mace on the wharf place

reinforced concrete and modern in
every detail with superstructure de:
signed after the most successful
wharyss on the Pacific coast. 49,.
Spring hung tenders, with two
springs to each pier. capable OF re
sisting a pressure of 20 tons for each
two incnes of movement from YES
sci nosing against them, will form
one of the main features of the wharf.
With the piers 10 feet apart the wharf
will have a resisting force for every
10 feet of so tons for each two inches
that the vessel exerts. e..
The wharf itself will be set upon
piles driven into the soil far enough
to furnish a solid foundation, and EN-.
bedded in concrete which will shut out
all borers and water. This, 1t is said,
will make them last for centuries.

Section 13 is the regulation which

Hawaifs plantations have large and

without in a single case reducing the
amount they carried over from 1915
as cash balances.
At the present selling-price Of stocks
there is hardly sugar plantation In
the islands which does not offer a
remarkably good investment for peo-
pie in Hawaii looking for profitable
as well as safe securities.
All of the plantations which figure
prominently in the stock exchange

pluses with which they started the
year 1916. =...@.. .........-

a temporary road be laid, pending the
arrival of the time when the company
will want to double track the avenue,
As the light material purchased for

MCCAIN"
+ The foregoing cablegram from the
War Department to Brig gen. Robert
K. Evans, given out today at head.
quarters, came as a surprise to many
army men and is considered ofmuch
importance. -..- .
As stated by it men now allowed to
enter the reserve list at the end OF
three years service will be kept in
the army until further notice. o..
Whether this will continue long
enough to keep men for more than
year after they are eligible to enter
the reserve is not known yet, but 1t Is
stated at headquarters that no men
will he discharged at the end OF the
fourth year unless orders to that ef-
feet are received. ...,
Army officers are reticent as to Of
fering reasons why this order has
been given, but the general impression
to be gained from them is that the
present disturbed conditions in Mex
leo have beyond a doubt been the
chief reason for the order.
1t is presumed that the Coast Artil-
lery Corps is excepted from the re-
strictions placed by the order because
they are not mobile troops, and it is
mobile troops that Uncle Sam wants
right now That portion of the war
regulations to which the cablegram
refers is as follows:
That any enlisted man at the expi-
ration of three years continuous ser
vice with such organizations either
under a first or any subsequent en-
listment. upon his written application
may be furloghued and transferred to
the army reserve in the discretion
of the secretary Of war. in which
event he shall not be entitled to re-
enlist in the service until the expira-
ton of his term of seven years"
AS men are enlisted and discharged
daily from the American army 1t Is
difficult to place an estimate upon the
number of men on Oahu that this will
effect.
