Big Rain Damages
Olinda Pipe Line
Nearly 35 Inches OF Rain At Pipe
Intake Last Week-0linda Gage
Showed Nearly 1S19 Inches
0linda Reservoir No Injured

County Engineer Low, returning
from an inspection trip TO Olinda, on
Wednesday, reports some damage
last week from the storm along the
Olinda pipeline. Most of the damage
however was from heavy rainfall and
not from wind.
The wooden staye pipe was broken
by the washing out of the trestling
over a small gulch just Kula of the
new reservoir. The car tracks into
the quarry of Contractor Mellor, in
the same gulch, were also carried
away by the downpour, but no damage
resulted to the new reservoir itself,
where work is reported progressing
well. The concrete bottom has been
entirely laid and the sides are now
being concreted.
Engineer Low states that the intake
reservoir of the pipe line at Waika-
moe gulch, was completely filled up
with sand washed down from above.
This is now being sluiced out. The
break in the pipe lire was repaired
several days ago.
Rather Wet Week
The rainfall record for last week
showed a total of 1854 inches at Wal
kamoe; 1882 inches at Puohakamoa;
and 1914 inches at Olinda. On Decem
Der it rained between IL and 13
inches in the one day at both Wal
kamoe and Puohakamoa, and GAS
inches at Olinda. Olinda had the
same amount of rain recorded on the
9th on which day the Waikamoe gage
showed 1923 inches, and the Puoha-
kamoa gage, 1880 inches.

Maintaining East Maui Roads
Asks For More Money For Next
Year

Advising that the Haiku Fruit &
Packing Co., Ltd, is willing to buy
territorial bonds authorized by the
last legislature for the macadamizing
of the belt road eastward through the
east Maui pineapple section towards
Ulumalu, II. w. Rice, manager of the
canning company, in a communica-
tion to the board of supervisors this
week also makes an interesting re-
port on the work Of road maintain
ance done by the company during the
past seven months in the district un-
der contract from the county.
An interesting fact brought out is
that the rainfall in the district has
been heavier this year than in 1914,
when many of the pineapple growers
were practically put out Of business
by the combination of bad roads and
low prices.
The cannery company, which had
been getting $500 per month for main
tanning some 35 miles Of roads, is
now asking the supervisors for $500
per month.
The company's report is as follows:
Dec. 8, 1918.
To the Honorable Board of Supervis-
ors, For the County of Maui,
Wailuku, Maui, T. H.
Gentlemen:
The taking over Of the roads in the

 On resigning his commission, for ex-
 ample, he was able to do what no other man could have done with propriety or safety; he addressed q circular let ter to the govNrnors of the States, pointing out changes in the existing form of government which he believed to be necessary. His refusal to ac- cept a salary, as general or as presi-

MIR. sULZER'S STATEMENT

In filing his declaration of can dicacy for the Democratic nOmi nation for delegate to Congress at the primary election to be held on Tuesday, April 30, Delegate Charles A. Sulzer telegraphed the Iditarod Pioneer the follow, ing statement, for the considera- tion of the Territorial electors:
 In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for the Democratic nomina- tjon for delegate to congress, I feel i'm pelled to make brief statement to the people of the Territory. It is now nearly year since l was seated in the House as Alaska s repres sentative. Dur ing most of that time the United States has been engaged in the world war Every resource of the nation in money aud man power is being devoted to the single purpose of winning the war. Every member of Congress, in consider ing legislation, has placed war needs above all other needs, and all require ments have been subordinated to the the wants of the military establish ment Alaska has responded nobly to the nations call; she has given her share willingly and unstintedly.
 When the Democratic party went be- fore the people of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for certain constructive program which embodied as it's princi- pal element wider measure of home rule for the Territory, a sane and ra- tional policy for the development of the natural resources, and every possible aid for the country.
 I have introduced, among others, the following bills in Congress, and urg- ing their passage as opportunity affords:
 Granting Alaska full territorial form of government, with home rule the dominating principle.
 Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along more equitable lines, and to pro- tect the salmon supply from depletion.
 Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the 8o-yard strip reservations, and authorizing free sur veys of homesteads in isolated sections.

WORKINGMEN NOT WITH
 LEVINE AND TR0TZKY

Seattle-A. J. Sack, head of the Russian Information Bureau in the United States says
 The workingmen of Russia will fol- low not Lenine and Trotzky, but such Socialist leaders as Tsertelli and Gvos- diev, who support this war as war for democracy. The peasants of Russia will follow the voices of such leaders as Kerensky, Breschko-Breschkovs- kaya, grandmother of the Russian rev olution, and Avksertiev. At least 95 per cent of the organized forces Of the Russian democracy will be united for a final battle with the dark Maximilist forces and will put an end to the treacherous activities in Petrograd.
 I personally like the last advices from Petrograd. The Maximilists were our internal disease since the begin ming of the revolution. Now the dis ease is on the surface and we can fight it. Russia is not of glass and cannot be broken by the revolt in Petrograd. The new provisional government which will probaly be established in a few days will put down this revolt by deci- sive measures, and this will open new era in the Russian political situation, an era of order in the country and st1 jet discipline in the army.
 elf the allies will not cease to trust in Russia and will render our country at this critical moment all the material and moral help she needs, we may pre- dict that our army, reorganized, will actually participate in the Allied operations next spring.
