this station is now being moved back about ten feet and raised 

 four feet. It is anticipated that the clearing of the choked 

 channels of the Waioli, Lumahai and Hanalei, and the exten- 

 sion of all intake pipes will be completed by December 31, 1914. 

 The flood discharge data obtained should be of great value in 

 determining the size of the bridge openings when new bridges 

 are built to replace those washed out by the flood. 



OAHU AND ADMINISTRATION. 



The cooperative investigation work being done at the Waipio 

 experimental station progressed favorably. It is anticipated that 

 the work at Waipio will be completed in November, and a series 

 of ditch loss investigations started on various plantations on 

 Oahu. Mr. Kimble also made a number of measurements which 

 will be of value in rating the cooperative stations on the Kahuku 

 and Laie plantations. 



Air. Austin visited three ramfall and 22 stream gaging sta- 

 tions, and made 30 stream and ditch measurements. He also 

 measured the flow from the new U. S. Army artesian well at 

 Fort Shaffer and of the Kawaiolena springs near Liliha street, 

 Honohihi. One measurement was made of the discharge from 

 the nortli ])orlal of the Waiahole tunnel. 



KAUAI. 



A foot suspension bridge was constructed on the North Wailua 

 river in order that the new station now being established on the 

 East Branch of the North Wailua might be reached in flood. 



From October 17 to 25 all of the new stations recently built on 

 windward Kauai at elevations of from 650 to 850 feet above sea 

 level were visited by Mr. Dort, acconi])anied by the Superintend- 

 ent (jf I lydrcjgraphy. A survey of (laniage done by the recent 

 Hoods was made and plans outhncd for changes made necessary 

 b\' information developed during these Hoods. Mr. Dort visited 

 8 stream gaging and 4 rain gaging stations. Air. I lorner visited 

 8 stream gaging and 8 rain gaging .stations. 



MAUI. 



Mr. Uailey, acconi])anieil by the Sni)erintendeiil of Hydro- 

 graphy, s]K'nt October 3 and 4 insi)ecting work, and on Octo- 

 ber 5 a reconnaissance was made of two i)ossil)le storage sites on 

 tlie headwaters of Maliko gulch in the vicinity of Kailiili, at an 

 elevation of aliout 3200 feet above sea level. 



During the balance of the month .Mr. r.ai]e\- \isited 30 stream 

 gaging stations, established 12 permanent bencli marks, ec|uipped 

 10 automatic register stations with interior gage height register- 

 ing devices, and made 16 stream measurements. 



On October 31 he discontinued his tcni])orary ]iead(|uarlers 

 at Wailuku and left for Honolulu where he will act as Acting
