I think of all the things at school
A boy has got to do,
That studying history, as a riile,
Is worst of all, don't you?
Of dates there are an awful sight,
And though I study, day and
night,
There's only ono I've got just right
That's fourtc'en-ninely-two.
Columbus crossed the Delaware
In foiirtecn-nincty-two;
We whipped the British fair
and
square
In fourtccn-ninely-lwo.
At Concord and at Lexington
We kept the red coats on the run,
While the band played 'Johnny
Get Your Gun"
In fourtecn-ninety-two.
Pat' Henry, with his dying breath-
In fourtecn-ninety-two,
Said Give mo liberty or doatlil"
In fourtcon-nincty-two
And Barbara Frictchic, so 'tis said,
Cried, ''Shoot if you must this
old, grey head,
But I'd rather 'twould bo your own
instead,"
In fourtcon-nincty-two.
The Pilgrims camo to Plymouth
Rock
In fourtecn-ninety-two,
And the Indians standing on the
.dock
Asked, "What are you going to
do?"
And they said "Wo seek your har
bor drear,
That our children's children
dear
May boast that their forefathers
landed here
In fourteen-ninety-two."
Miss Pocahontas saved the life,
In fourtcen-ninoty-two,
Of John Smith, and become his
wife
In fourteen-ninety-two.
And tho Smith tribe started then
and thero
And now there's John Smiths
everywhere,
But they didn't hnve any Smith's
to spare,
In fourtecn-ninety-two.
Hawaii was discovered by
tain Cook.
In tourteen-nincty-two.

And tho first missionaries come to

Gcorgo Washington, I think, was

And Undo Joo Cannon first blew

Tho following poem was recided

OUR FLAG.
O (lag of a resoluto nation,
O ling of tho strong and free,
Tho cherished of true-hearted mil
lions,
Tho new ditch for the Wailuku
Sugar Company and the Hawaiian
Commercial ami Sugar Company
that has been in process of con
struction for the past two years
has been completed and the water
turned in the ditch on Wednesday
May the loth at the new dam that
has been built at thoniauka intake
in the Waihce river.
The water was turned in at
twelve o'clock noon. F. F. Bald
win, C. 13. Wells, Congressman
Keifcr E. Faxton Bishop and a
few others were present wKcn the
water was turned in.
It took just three hours 'and
forty-five minutes for the water to
reacli the end of the ditch where
the two companies aro interested
n the division of tho water.
There are twenty tunnels in
tho new enterprise of the following
lengths, No. 0. 320 ft., No. 1, 135-1
ft , No. 2, 22-16 ft., No. 3. 1002 ft.,
No. -1, 1433 ft., No. 5, 470 ft., No. G,
1 108 ft., No. 7, 1140 ft., No. 8, 051
No. I), 047 ft., No. 10, 017 ft., No.
11, 320 ft., No. 12, 342 ft., No. 13,
100 ft., No. 14. 880 ft., No. 14a, 305
ft., No. 14b, 155 ft., No. 15, 20G ft.,
No. 17, 430 ft.
Making a grand total of 15,S11
feet of tunnels.
Thero aro 1S8G feet of flumes
and 13389 feet of open ditch and
1253 feet of pipe lines which' brings
the length of the system up to 32,-
309 feet.
The head of the ditch is at an
elevation of 049.5 feet labovo sea
level and is 4000 feet abovo the
Sprcckels Wailiee ditch intake the
head of which is at an elevation of
124.70 feet above sea level.
Tho now enterprise will make
possible tho cultivation of lands on
a higher level than has been po3si
blo in the past and as more of the
system is tunnels it will be much
less liable to washouts and other
damage by storm.
The Wailuku Sugar Company
has extended the system beyond
Waikapu for its own use a distance
of 23730 feet.
TAX APPLiAL TAKGN.
An appeal has been take by the
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company from the decision of the
Tax Assessor lowering the deduc
tions of tho company in its returns
by which the company would be
taxed $24,359.84 on its income tax
instead of $20,005.88 as claimed is
just by the company. The income
tax returns as mado by the officers
of the company show a gros3 profit
of $2,077,302 91 from which was
deducted for running expences and
depreciation of plant tho sum of
?1,044,00S.G0. The latter figures
were not allowed by tho Assessor
who reduced tho samo to $1,457,-
870.89.
If the lax Assessor is correct
then tho income tax of the corpora
tion would bo'raised to $24,389.81
or two per cent of its net profits.
The papers in the suit have been
drawn by Attorney James L. Coke
who represents the plaintiff.
Tho taxation value of tho realty
and personal property of the com
pany as nxeu by tno Assessor is
not questioned by tho corporation.
Wo hallow thy colors three.
Three far-reaching emblems of
glory.
Our hope for tho coming time,
Tho red, white, and bluo in thoir
beauty
Love gives tliom a meaning sub-
Jiiuo.
Tho red is tho deep crimson life-
stream
