BIG NEVADA BLAST.
Twelve Tons Of Giant Powder Blow
off Top Of Mountain.

WE'VE OTIS o. 0idHN N"bNf1Ni INV
off Top Of Mountain.
Last week at Copper Flat one OF
the biggest blasts in the history Of the
camp was exploded. says the White
Pine (Ely. Nevada News. Twelve
tons of powder were put into the eight
holes drilled in the hill in the center
of the pit and when the blast was
fired the entire top of the hill was
seen to disappear The material NOV
ed is estimated to be about 100000
tons.
The engineers of the company had
carefully planned the location of the
various holes and estimated the
amount of powder necessary TO lift
the top of the mountain, and when the
tremendous pressure was eXnended
the force was so evenly distributed
that the earth simply lifted and rolled
down the hill. There was no great
noise and little scattering of rocks as
the great mound lifted and rolled to
lower levels.
While many Of the spectators were
probably disappointed that such a gil
gantic quantity of high explosive
should cause so slight pyrotechnic
display the engineers who had spent
over a month on the plans declared
It eminently successful, in that the
force of the dynamite was expanded
as designed deep in the earth and its
force was not wasted To lift the top
of mountain quietly and properly
place it where desired is no small
task from an engineering standpoint
and in view of this fact the Ruth
school was adjourned in order that
the pupils could witness the opera
tion.

MISUNDERSTANDING as 70 BONUS.

Nothing so unfortunate has arisen in Hawaii industrial circles for
a long time as the misunderstanding of the working out of the bonus
system in the final payment of bonus this year. 1t is certain to prove
a difficult task to convince the day laborer who does not get the final
bonus expected by him that he has not been deceived, double crossed"
that what is Justly coming to him is not beng withheld from him. And
yet, nothing that has been earned by him or was promised to him is
being withheld.
The bonus system is designed to let the laborer share in the profits
of the employer. Those profits are not determined from month to month
but only at the end of the year. 1t is for the convenience of the worker,
to enable the one who has not savings upon which to draw during the
year to live better than would otherwise be possible, that it was arranged
to make payments of parts of the coming bonus each month The bonus
is based on the prevailing price for the entire year, the payments made
on the prevailing price for the month.
The year just ending has been one of abnormaEtes. Raw sugar
prices went to unbelievable heights. Had there been al established,
steady, fixed price for the whole year the laborer this year would have
found his final payment a fourth of what he had already received. So
also, if he had worked approximately the same number of days every
month, such would have been the case.
However, when the bonus ranged from 400 per cent to- 500 and
more per cent for the month, the worker wanted every day of labor a:
such wage he could crowd into those months, but when the bonus fell
away he was ready to live on the honey of the previous rich periods and
drone along with only enough days to get in on the bonus at the smaller
rate. He did not think, he did not realize that his bonus, like the COM
pany dividends could only be based on the average price for the year
of raws, on the average bonus rate. When he drew % days in a fat
month and only 20 H a lean one, he destroyed the equilibrium, he was
drawing upon his account, that account being the final bonus payment.
1t may be said that the office OF the planters association should have
made this clear in the information given out for publication in its cir
Culars and it must be admitted it would have been better so, but it is too
late now for that. The difficulty is for the plantation companies to
make uneducated and iIiterate workers understand the true facts, that
they are not being unfairly treated, and the difficulty is a serious one.
Disappointment and dissatisfaction of the workers will have a tendency
to disturb the harmony for which the sugar interests of the Islands have
been honestly and conscienciously working. The planters ire right but
can the laborer be made to understand? 1t is hoped so and here is an
opportunity for the foreign language press to help and not to hinder, to
aid in explaining the situation to its readers.

COUNTY LIBRARY PLAN.

Consideration may well be given to the plan for county libraries
in the Territory outlined in an article on the first page of this issue Of
Maui News. Senator Rice wrote from Honolulu last week that he be-
ieved the legislature would be in a position to give the subject attention
at the coming regular session of the legislature.
Book lovers, readers, students on Maui have long wanted some
thing more in the way of a library than has been obtainabe. This can
be said without beltlng the efforts of those who have undertaken to
give them something and the little library in Alexander Settlement has
brought JOY if not content to numbers who have awaited themselves of
it. But there have been efforts made to secure for this county such A
library, at least, as Ho has. 1t is therefore recommended that all those
interested in the subject give careful perusal to the proposed plan.
Without going deeply into that plan it would appear that it has
much to commend it and little that is Objectionable. If it were pro-
proposed that there should be a branch of the Library of Hawaii in each
county that wanted one and was willing to contribute therefor, it would
be Objectionable but on the face of it this appears not to be the case.
There is to be a central distributing point in the county seat where a
library can be built up through money raised by county taxes. But
more, that library is to have the privilege of drawing upon the terri
tonal library, the Library of Hawaii, for such books as readers may
desire and which art not on the shelves of the county library.
Such arrangement is eminenty proper for there are territorial APP
preparations made for the support of the Library of + Hawaii, thus every
county has been contributing to the support of the central library. 1t
should be added, however, that the management of the library has sought
to make it available, so far Is might be, to residents of the other islands.
Miss Allyn has dwet on the phase of supplying books to the schools
at considerable length and the plan in that respect is admirable but Maui
ties want something for the adults as well as the children and something
for residents other than teachers as well as for the teachers. New
novels are interesting, entertaining and amusing but there are readers
of other works than novels. With a catalogue orscard index in each
library showing what works are contained in and can be drawn from
the territorial library that difficulty would be, in part at least, settled.
Maui WOmans Club is to take up the subject of books and libraries
merit month, it is said, and in connection with its other deliberations
may well consider the proposal made by Miss Allyn through Senator
Rice.

LANGUAGE SCHOOL, LEGISLATION.

Control and supervision of foreign language schools has been voted
by the legislature at its special session and the effort made to eliminate
them has failed. Proposed amendments which, it is claimed, would
operate to eliminate such schools at once were also defeated. There
have been concessions made by both sides, by those who honestly believe
Japanese schools, and by the Japanese.
While the subjAt is disposed of for the present it is hard to believe
that it is absolutely settled and it seems to be a safe forecast that elmi-
nation OF such schools will come in the end with a more general teach
ing of the Japanese language.
There was an outstanding feature in the public hearings which is
worthy of comment, the stand of the American Legion and the views
of the accredited representative of the sugar planters which re not,
after all, so widely apart. Mr.. W. O. Smith, speaking for the adoption
of the senate measure said he believed that further legislation would
come and that, in time, Japanese would be made a course in the public
schools but that funds needed were not at this time available. J. X,
Butler speaking for the American Legion, said the Legion did not oppose
the bill, that it is a step in the right direction, but that the Legion wanted
elimination of every mnAmencan feature of such schools and would not
be satisfied till it got them. He also inclined toward the teaching of
Japanese in the public schools.
During the 1919 session of the legislature the writer talked with
members of the education committees OF both houses and advocated the
making of Japanese an optional course in the public schools. The OBJ

Ill., ROLLED UP.

1t has really been to bad to roll up the pacidiy of Honolulu, to
embitter the sweet waters OF Contentnent and self satisfaction and to
make the Tier and the Starbul rear right up on their hind legs and roar
and "hOler', but that is what has been done.
1t was early in the special session that Senator Baldwin introduced
a concurrent resolution to ask congress to amend the Organic Act in
regard to reapporhonment and only two Oahu senators voted against
his resolution. whereupon he gravey thanked his Oahu supporters for
their assistance. And the Starbull thought for a day or two it was Il
Joke and poked fun at the Oahu senator's. But reapporionment is an
open and fostering sore for Honolulu and the Tier holered. A little
later two Oahu senators tried to undo the Baldwin resolution with a
counter one, and it failed, whereupon Senator Judd did wax sarcastic
and thanked the senators from the other counties.
Thereupon did the Starbull fail longer to see anything amusing and
howed out loud in its editorial columns Just as had the Tier.
One of the best known soap advertisements OF a few years ago
pictured a crying baby seeking to reach a cake OF soap Just beyond its
grasp. Oahu and the Honolulu papers reaching always for reapporion-
ment on a basis of population without regard to- territory and land area
are reminiscent of the baby that won't be happy till he gets it." But
in this case reapportOnment is different from soap, the baby couldn't
be trusted with it.

OREGON .SHOHIS WAY.

Without public funds available the state OF Oregon has made some
wonderful strides in a branch of welfare work that is coming in for at
tenton on Maui and in all the Territory and as to one phase of which
this Island will soon hear something from DIR. Hoag, student in and
expert on child psychology.
Oregon has undertaken to learn the cause of human failure, of the
down and outer. Its undertaking is for the purpose of preventive treat
ment, to learn the cause in order that it can be eliminated. Such topics
as feebemindedness, subnormaity and abnormalty come in connection
with the investigation.
Oregon is setting al example which can be initiated elsewhere, in
Guiding here. But, departing somewhat from it. remembering the child
is father to the man, it is well to learn the causes of delinquency, of
subnormaity and mental deficiencies and defects in the child before
grown to manhood an to seek the elimination of the cause in the earliest
phases of its effects. On Maui, with the machinery of the schools and
with proper probation officers who would go into the subject scentih-
caly, real results can be secured at a comparatively small cost.
How Oregon is working is told elsewhere in this issue.
