Steamer Olympia, on Rocks,

IB1 A.soctate6 Prsssl

VALDEZ. Alaska. All attempt may
be made TO Ifs the wrecked steamer
Olympia, which has Teen impaled OH
a pinnacle Of rock off Bligh Island
since December TO-, 1910. and put here
in commission again. Tbs staunCh
hulk has withstoOd the battering Of
the seas in Prince Williams Sound
without a tremor and although dis
mantled of all movable Parts, stands
erect as the night she struck. She
is the marvel OF all Alaska tourists
appearing to be afloat instead Of
ashore.
The eyes Of shipping men have been
cast toward the wrecked Olympia
since the value OF carriers of all class
and description has increased to I'M
precedented figures owing to the war
and men now are working on plans
for floating the vessel. They explain
that salvage plans would entail CON
siderable expense, but with the high
price of tonnage the undertaking
might net large profit. Just for the
plates composing the steel hull.
The Olympia ran on Blgh Island
reef during a terrific storm while on
her way from CordOva to Valdez. By
chance more cargo remained in her
forward hold than aft and she was
down by the head so far as to fan
to answer to her helm. CalNain
James Daniels, the master, saved the
lives of all on board by ordering them
not to take to the boats during the
night. He lost his life last summer
when the steamship Admiral Clark of
the Pacific Steamship company foun-
dered in the Gulf of Mexico.

HAWAII HIT BY
Water SHORTAGE
lsp.ei,l Sta BnE.:.p Cerre.pond.nc.l


HILO. Sept. 1.-THE shortage OF
water is playing havoc in many dis
tricts in East Hawaii. Never before
has such a state of affairs been re
corded. at least for many years, de-
clare old-time residents Of Hilo.
The shortage OF water is felt very
much up the mountain. At the Vol
cano House there is no water except
that cartel from a distance. Manager
Lycurgus has kept an amply supply
DIT his hotel through the means OF
trucks. but should the drought CON
tinue he will be obliged to cart va
ter for more than ~ miles.
That water should be so scarce on
the mountain is a sign Of the severe
drought that the whole East Hawai-
is undergoing. Places that alw"Js
had water, mostly in iron tanks, have
gone dry.

STREET CURVES
DEMANDED BY AUTOISTS

A development In street improve
ment resulting from automobile traf-
fic is the demand for curves Of larger
radius at the corner OF street inter-
sections. Past practice resulted In a
corner that was nearly square, or had
a curve varying from four to ten
feet radius. This meanG that the We
hicle could not turn into an inter
secting street until 1t had passed the
corner. The driver Of q car must
either shift gear and slow down to a
suitable speed for the turn, or else
he may take the turn with an abrupt
ness that Is a menace to other Ve-
hicles as well as pedestrians.
A further alternative practiced by
many drivers II to swing widely at
the turns. q practice which carries
them to the wrong side of the road
way and risks accident:
Many cities are widening and
rounding their street Intersections.
The Increasing radius OF the curves
enables automobiles to follow q
course parallel to the curb and keep
on. the right side OF the roadway.
