Kahului BreakWater
WaitsOnW Washington
Railroad COmpany's Bid Recommend
ed Approved By Local Army En-
gineer- Company Ready To Begin
At Once On Word To Start

Unless some unforeseen delay oc-
ours in Washington, actual work on
the new west breakwater at Kahului
harbor should begin in the next
month or six weeks. The bid of the
Kahului Railroad Company OF S2.l0
per short ton of rock in place, was
forwarded to Washington last week
by Col. R. R. Raymond, U. S. engin-
GERS, with recommendation that 1t be
accepted.
Superintendent VIM. Walsh states
that his company is ready to start
work the minute the contract is final
ly awarded, but that pending this
nothing can be done except to wait. In
anticipation, however, the company
has had the big crane which placed
the rock on the east breakwater en-
tirely overhauled, and has made some
surveys for the extension of its tracks
past the electric powerhouse near
which place the new breakwater will
start.
Whether or not the present status
of war with Germany will have any
effect in delaying action on Col. Ray
monds recommendation is something
that nobody in the Islands is able to
answer. The engineers estimate that
$4,000 tons of rock will be required
for the big job.

No Hint COnCering
Wireless Service
Commercial Business To Hawaii And
Kauai Resumed Over Week 0gO--
Press Service To Cost More Money
No Guards At Lahaina

No intimation has been received on
Maui as to when wireless communica-
ton will be resumed. The plants on
both Kauai and Hawaii are reopened
for commercial messages last week,
and the wireless press service was
resumed to Hilo papers also, though
not to Kauai. Maui has no service at
all as yet except for official commune
ations.
On Kauai a national guard company
has been guarding the wireless plant,
and detachment of the 25th Infantry
sent from Honolulu is performing the
same Office at the Hawaii station. No
such precautions have been taken re-
garding the Lahaina plant.
The why of all this is a sealed
book. The service may start again to-
day or next week or next year. No
body on Maui knows or can more than
guess at the reason. One guess that
has been haZarded is that the naval
authorities have not yet solved the
problem of collections. The Mutual
Company because of the fact that its
plant is in an out of way place and it
has no relay station, was obliged to do
an extensive credit business, mess
ages being transmitted to the wireless
operator by telephone and the cost
charged. 1t is rumored that an Office
is 10 be opened in Wailuku when the
naval authorities get around to it,,
which will be in telegraphic cOmmuni-
cation with the Lahaina plant, in the
same manner as business is at present
handled between the Kawaihae sta
tion and Hilo
Higher Costs
The Maui Publishing Company has
made arrangements to have the Daily
Wireless resumed as soon as system
is opened for it, though it will depend
on the Maui public as to whether or
not it is maintained permanently. The
new service is to cost over so percent
more than before. Inasmuch as the
Daily Wireless has always been pub
lished at a loss it will be impossible
to maintain it unless the increased
cost can be met in some manner.

FEEDS HIS HAWAIIAN
COWS ON cOcOANUTS

Feeding his COWS on the meat of
cocoanuts may be the secret by which
John Walgen "a dairyman of Glenwood,
near the Volcano of Kilauea, won the
first prize at the recent Hawaii Coun-
ty Fair for his butter.
Mr. Walgen told Judge c. X. Quinn
last Saturday, that cocoanuts were
about $14 a ton cheaper than mid
dlings, and worth about S14 ton more
as food for butter making cows. And
the cows shred up that cocoanut as
though it was COW candy.
you see, Judge" asserted Walgen,
81 have some guernsey cows, but most
of them are just plain Hawaiian COWS.
/ give them about three pounds of CO.
coanuts with their feeds every day
and so | get pretty near five percent
butter-fat in the milk"
However, there is no flavor of the
cocoanut in the butter made from the
milk of these Hawaiian cocoanut-eat-
ing cows of Glenwood. But he cannot
make enough for his customers.-H

ldea-AttOrney RuSsel Explains
18th Hour Introduction

Wailuku may, in the course of the
next two or three years have a gas
plant, provided the plans of James w.
Russell and other Hilo capitalists do
not miscarry.
Mr.. Russell appeared before the
trustees of the chamber of commerce
on Tuesday afternoon and sought to
have the backing of the body to a
franchise bill which is now pending
in the legislature. After some little
discussion, however, the chamber de
clined to take any action on the pro
ject either for or against.
Has Built Plant In HiIo
Mr.. Russell, who is an attorney from
the Bay City, is also one of the lead
ing members in the Hilo Gas Company
which has just completed a plant in
his home town. Acting on the advice
of their engineering expert who re-
Gently looked over Wailuku as a field,
the Hilo company got busy and had a
bill introduced in the senate last week
which if passed, and endorsed later by
congress, will grant a franchise for
supplying this part of Maui with gas.
The bill is known as Senate bill No
157, and it was stated that it had al
ready passed the senate and is now
being considered in the house.
Would Absorb Island Electric
Mr.. Russell stated that his franchise
bill provided that gas shall be supplied
TO Maui consumers at not to exceed
81 per thousand cubic feet, with 10
percent discount for cash, and that

Trade and c. II. Wears the Hawaii
member of the promotion committee,

noon full of plans for exploiting
Maui's great crater. One of these

Ing about his mountain road scheme,
"A motor car has approached to with
in less than miles of Haleakala's
summit. Engineer Balch has studied
every foot of the route over which it
travelled, and earnestly assures me
that he would like to have the con-
tract for building a road over the route
of four miles above Olinda for $4,000.
And he says the road will be as good
as any part of the new roadway be-
tween Makawao and Olinda. More

for automobiles can be built entirely
to the summit for $4,000"
A Record-Breaking Trip
Ford was referring to the fact Of

FRANCE WIl[ NOT sec
PROHIBITION FOR YEARS
By WILBUR S. FORREST.

BY WILBUR S. FORREST.
Omitted Press Sttff Correspondent
PARIS. March, Shy MaiD
France will not lsee prohibition of
alcohol for years.f
This brief explanation of one of
the most agitateds internal subjects
in France Just now was made TO the
United Press today by Jean Finot,
noted French wri9r, author and
president of the Ftench society for
action against alcodol.
n Finot predicts a long and biz

on the footing Of prohibition. Wide

Prohibition in France does not
mean, as the wordtmeans in Ameri-
ca, an absolutely I dry France. 1t
means the eliminition OF brandy,
whiskey and oth4 spirituops liqu-
ors which do SO hueil damage to
the peoples of aty country. The
proverbial French plight wine will al
ways remain.
"The fight against alcohol which

are making has tae most bitter OPP

that over four rtilhon people have

production, distribution and sale of
liquor this is NOT surprising.
but France viii eliminate liquor
