HONOLULU AND THE NAVY
The meeting of Honolulu's selected
business men With Admiral Very thid
afternoon will be watched with much
interest.
The inspiration and the purpose ot
ihe meeting are at present as much
an unknown quantity as the result.
It Is a new move for selected busi
ness men of the city to be invited to a
conference with the commander of the
Naval Station. On the face it It, the
Idea of the Navy Department thus test
ing the temper of the community is
a good one.
It will be possible to discuss the sub
ject when the people know the drill
of events which the officers of the na
tion wish discussed. Citizens of Ha
waii are not disposed to stand in the
way of the development of naval
strength in the Pacific and especially
on the Island of Oahu. The questions
at issue seem more matters for the
action of the American Government.
COLLEGE PROGRESS
Regents of the College of Agrlcul-
ture and Mechanic Arts have. made a
'good move by decideding to go ahead
with what offers, provided they can
not obtain just what they want in
the way of a President for the insti
tution. The man who is offered the re
; sponsibility of starting this Institu
tion, at a salary . lower than the
J' high priced professor with a reputa
tion, may not feel highly compli
, hiented. Nevertheless a man with
jt die right spirit, who recognizes that
: he has a reputation to make and
this is a first class place to lay the
' foundations and build the structure,
1 such a man may prove to be the best
In the end.
The college should at all hazards
S go forward. Moth and rust will cor
" lupt the best scheme on earth that
i remains inactive, waiting for things
to come its way.
NUUAND DAM MANAGEMENT
i Are they making Howland the
I ' goat" of the Nuuanu dam?
',' This is a natural query arising
from the renewal of the Nuuanu dam
campaign and the published conclu
sion of one contractor that the man
in, charge of the work Is of no use
t anyway.
The Bulletin is not in a posl
s tlon to dispute the word of the con
tractor. This paper is forced to agree
; with most any man 'who says that
the Nuuanu dam has not been a buc-
cess. Yet two experts have been
paid a high price to look over the
, job and the criticism has not been
tierious. Again when the contractor
' interviewed lauds a former officer of
tho Public Works department to tha
j, Kkles, it recalls the fact that when
the man referred to was hi ofneo, he
was the object of very generous crit
icisms from nianj sides. It is there
tore necessary to stop and tlilnk a
moment on whether the Public
Works department Is especially In
competent us at prudent officered, or
it is impossible to obtain ofllcers to
suit.
The more this dam business Is dis
cussed the more one is reminded that
there are four sides to some ques
tions the inside and the outside, as
well as the right side and the wrong
side.
In the present phase of criticism,
this paper believes that It Is unjust
i.nd evidence of-, personal favoritism
to hold one officer of the department
more at fault than another for the
failures scored against the Nuuanu
dam. There can be no just division
of responsibility between llowland
and Holloway. llowland is the engi
neer in charge but he is subject to
the orders of Superintendent Hollo
way. Any fair minded man would hold
that either the present team should
carry the work to completion or a
clean sweep should be made of tho
whole outfit, and a new Public
Works administration put in charge.
If the project were in the hands
of a private corporation, it would go
forward right or the managers would
know the reason why.
There is no good reason for the
Nuuanu dam construction being
handled with less speed and com
petence than would be required and
secured by a private corporation.
MAY NOT BUILD
(Continued from Page 1)
tens property, which is to be used as
the temporary quarters for the Agri
cultural College, and which it is pro
posed to move over onto the lots of
Cecil Brown adjoining, will be moved
as previously decided, the Governor
says. This is probably on account of
the fact that the moving of the build
ing would not be an action which
could not be remedied in case the de
cision of the United States Supreme
Court was adverse to the Territory.
In such case,' the building could be
Tiioved back again.
But it looks very ranch as if Hono
lulu will have no. new high school
this year.

own passenger steamer, and
transportation is the thing."
This is the opinion of W. E.
Brown, whom President Mor
gan has appointed as the new
member of the Hawaii Promo
tion Committee to represent the
Chamber of Commerce.
"I would like to have the
Honolulu community own its
own steamer,", said Mr. lirown,
"The city of Honoluju
has money enough and busi
ness enough to control its own
steamship line and I think that
is the end towards which we all
ought to work. We need the
people here and they will come
if we give them the transporta
tion. , 1 , ' ,.
"It pays to be careful, just
the same. When Honolulu
goes into a steamship proposi
tion, it should be certain of
having the right steamer. An
error at the start would ruin
tho whole thing and keep it
dead for a good many years to
come." m x h h m tai s ;w m m si b

On account of the settlement of the
difficulties previously existing between
Land Commissioner Pratt and the
Thompson Settlement Association the
t;uit of I,: S. Thompson et al., members
of the association, has been discon
tinued. The trouble arose over some
Kau. lands which Pratt wanted to cut
up into 25-acre tracts while the as
sociation dertiauded that the parcels
be of 100 acres each. Pratt visited
Hawaii recently and a compromise was
arrived'at by which the Land Commis
sioner agreed to divide the land into
parcels of about 40 acres each.
The famous Walter art collection,
valued at $100,000, is being brouit
from the East and will be exhibited
in the museum at Golden Gate park.

OLD KAIMILOA BELL
WILL SOUND
WAELUKU FIRE ALARM
The old "Kalmlloa bed" will reBound
the echo of long ago.
W. J. Coelho, who has been in town
on business connected with the fire
i department of Wailuku, will return to
his home on the Claudine this evening
'st 5 o'clock. He succeeded in getting
1 the famous bell of tho old Hawaiian
. war ship "Kalmlloa" for tho tower of
, his fire department. .
I President Kennedy of the Iiiter-Iis-
tind Navigation Company was ap
proached by Coelho with a request that
the Kalmlloa bell be given for the use
of the Wailuku Are department. It
nas been under consideration lor some
time, and Kennedy, who saw that th?
lequest was for a good purpose con
sented and gave the bell to Coelho.
"I am going away today with my oU
nnd historic bell," said Coelho this
morning. "I have about thirty boy
v.ho are always ready to resuond to
tho fire calls. While here I spent 'some
:l my time in getting instructions
from fire chief Thurston. I am thank
lul that many generous Honolulu peo-
jlc have assisted me In my effort to
get some things for my district.
Among other things, I have been
very fortunate In getting from Gover
nor Frear and Superintendent Hollo
way the consent of extending our wa
ter main' at' Wailuku. This has been a
great plllkia with us over there. The
appropriations for such purpose which
passed the previous Legislatures were
for some unknown reasons held up and
uence the Wallukuans were greatly In
convenienced. As soon as 1 found that
Frear had taken office I came down
ticro' immediately, knowing fully well
at the time that he would judiciously
consider our proposition. After he had
carefully looked into the whole thing
he agreed with me and promised to
utilize the appropriation provided for
the extension of the water main. This
is great news to the Wailukuans, and
1 am glad to' say that we have a good
ilovernor who can, look to the needs of
he poor as well as the rich."
