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. Cap And tho first missionaries come to have a look In fourtecn-ninety-two. Gcorgo Washington, I think, was born, And Undo Joo Cannon first blew his horn, When Congress voted to adjourn In fourtecn-ninety.two.

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.
