BOARD RECEIVES
DEASFDRNEW
Swimming SLIP

Several suggestions Of interest re-
garding the construction Of q swim
ming slip adjacent to the proposed
wharf at Pier 2. Honolulu harbot'
were contained in q letter from Col.
Robert r. Raymond, corps of~engi
neers, presented this afternoon to the
harbor board. The letter Is in an
swer to one from the board and is as
follows:
With regard to your preliminary
plan for the new pier and swimming
slip. there are q few points that are
thought to merit careful considera-
ton In the first place a course to
provide 100 yards must be OF slightly
greater length than 100 yards in order
to permit the use of the necessary
starting, and turning points.
The slip as planned will be i'm
possible to keep free from sand There
is a movement Of sand along the
shore from the waikiki side Of the
harbor entrance which has shoaled
the dredged basin under and around
the boathouse and wharf at Pier /. A
slip dredged as shown by your plan
would certainly be obliterated by this
sand movement unless you construct
under the south end of the wharf a
solid curtain wall from the sea wall
to the harbor line to Intercept the
sand.
Il believe this curtain wall should
be built. 1t need not be very massive.
Il suggest that you omit the wall
and fill shown on your plan between
the swimming slip and the harbor line
and construct all this part Of the new
wharf on concrete piles so as to ex-
pose the whole slip to the free action
of the tides. This would probably
be cheaper than the wall and fill
shown.
Under the main part of the wharf
the large fill would justify the con-
struction of the containing wall, but
I think the small fill Just mentioned
would not" .. -~..-

PASTURE Land
IS INSPECTED BY
FOOD OFFICIALS
Initial Step Taken By Commits
sion to Increase Cattle
Raising

Two large tracts OF land in the
country, one at Nanakuli. leased by
the Oahu Railway & Land Co. and
the other on the Makaha side OF Wal
amaze, a part of which is occupied by
homesteaders, were visited yesterday
by A. L. Dean. executive officer OF
tire territorial food commission; Chas,
s. Judd, executive officer Of the board
Of agriculture and forestry, and Louis
Warren, manager OF the Honolulu
ranch.
This was the initial step taken by
the commission to put into service
all available unused pasture land for
the raising of stock to increase the
local meat supply. . -
II the cattle on the land at Mana
kuli are ordered kept out of the
email gullies in the foothills where
they generally go when 1t Is dry. as
considerable moist vegetation is to be
found there, it may be necessary to
reduce the herd by removing about
goo head of cattle. the land now &C
commodating about 700 head.
In the opinion Of Mr.. Dean, steps
should be taken to allow the railroad
company to Craze its cattle in the
gullies and thus prevent the reduction
Of the herd. ..... ..
The land at Waianae was found to
be plentifully supplied with cactus
and glue, which makes excellent fod-
Ter. Some of the homesteaders now
occupying portions of this land are
raising calves and are anxious to use
parts Of this forest reserve land for
grazing purposes. ~. ..~.> .~.
Il see no reason why these home
steaders should not be allowed TO use
a large part of this area for pasture
IL 1t Is properly fenced" says Mr..
Dean. THE only drawback il that If
the young cattle are allowed to roam
in too large an area, they are apt to
become wild. But ] believe there are
several hundred acres there which
could be used, and / believe the board
OF agriculture could make the neces-
sary arrangements" -

and became involved in the affray.
All Of Duschalsky's witnesses testi-
fled that the Chinaman, hack driver,

Duschalsky had misinterpreted the
expression used. They also testified
that Duschalsky had given the China
man q severe beating. .---<

he said he only shook the hack driver,
but admitted, after being questioned
by Attorney Lorrin Andrews, who ap-

{. OF {. DIRECTORS
FAVOR CARNIVAL
WITHOUT FRILLS

Taking the stand that the 1918 Mid
Pacific Carnival should be devoted to
patriotic and military ceremonies with
the possible exception Of an ath-
letic program, that it should not ex'
tend over more than two days and
that IL should be entirely home ceie-
bratfo1 and not an event solely for
tourists, the directors Of the Chamber
OF Commerce at their meeting Wed
nesday afternoon voted against gen.
eral celebration as IN former years.
The members will meet to take up the
recommendations next Wednesday.
The question was brought before
the Chamber OF Commerce as it has
before other civic organizations by the
Carnival committee to ascertain the
general feeling with regard to car
niyal next year.
The directors were also strongly op.
posed to the usual features of frolic
and fun, believing that the occasion
should be more serious affair.
It was generally decided that the
ceremonies should begin with patriotic
exercises Friday Wash1ngton's birth
day, and probably some sports on Sat
urday.

BADLY INJURED
IN MOTOR CRASH

Although seriously injured, George
Alberts, an employe of the Honolulu
Iron Works. will probably recover
from injuries sustained in a collision
with an automobile driven by George
Wells, Jr.. last night in front of the
Y. NJ. C. A. building. Alberts. who
was riding a motorcycle up Alakea
street, was knocked unconscious, and
his back and right leg were badly
bruised. His motorcycle was wreck
ed, possibly beyond repair.
In his report of the accident, Police
Officer Isaac D. Iaea, Jr., states that
Wells was driving eva along Hotel
street with his machine on the right
hand side Of the street. Alberts was
going mauka on AIakea and when he
saw that a collision was imminent he
tried to avoid it by turning to the
left, which brought him near the curb
of the Y. M. C. A. building.
The statement that Wells was driv.
ing at a rate Of 80 miles an hour Is
declared to be untrue by George
Wells, Sr., who says his son had just
left the garage opposite the Hawaiian
Hotel and that 1t would have been
impossible to have attained that speed
In the short distance. He thinks his
son had a speed Of fully Is miles an
hour. s.~z.z-~ss =

Honolulu, July IL, 1917.
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: In the communication from 'fPa-
tience" yesterday regarding the prop
er answer to telephone ring per
NIT me to say that your correspond
emit is absolutely wrong.
The proper answer to a telephone
ring Is to call back your number or
name (the former preferably.
This permits, in the case of non
Identification of the voice Of the
speaker, some knowledge of who the
person ringing up is talking to; other
wise, In many instances 1t is impos-
sible to continue talking as certainly
the conversation should not be con.
tinued unless the right party has ans
wered.
Too often have busy men been an
noyed to find out that the answering
party, Hello" is not the number
wanted at all but another number al
together, who from motives Of curios-
ity win attempt to keep up a CONVEX
station, using as an excuse that the
other party has not said who is
this?"
think by inquiry at the telephone
who is this?" is perfectly proper
when the answer comes back simply
Hello" 49,.
When the phone rings answer your
number or name hereafter, pa
tience,p and you'll get along all right.
