For a number of Sessions an, ap propriation, or bill, has been under consideration for the purpose of erecting a wharf at this famous beach, but not withstanding the reputation of our Kauai Legis lators and their ability to "do things," until the last Session they were certainly "done"- out of landing the means to provide for its construction. Within the last two years necessity for this wharf has come even more apparent urgent. All former objections to its construction having been met, it was hoped that by providing for it's erection out of the general ap propriation bill, next winter would find Hanalei with its long over due wharf. Recently the reports that have come from the Capitol by word of mouth, and newspapers, in refer ence to many public questions, are of such a nature as to cause us Garden Islanders to drop our hoes long enough to listen for not only the buzz of the Mediterranean fly, but with ears to the ground to get a line on whither the course of Empire is tending. We are told that our high offi cials are contemplating an attempt to thwart the will of the people as expressed by their representatives in Legislature assembled. Being simple rural people, we are inclined to doubt the existence of any grounds to warrant even the intimation of such "goings on" at a time in this political age when the primary law, the initiative, re ferendum and recall are meanacing the downfall of anyone or any thing which is not "of the people, by the people and for the people, (Special to the Garden Island) Burglars entered the Koloa Plan tation Store sometime Saturday night, gaining an entrance through the office. The burglars were evi dently frightened in the early stage of the game, as a kit of burglars' tools consisting of a crow-bar, a pick, several knives, and an electric flash light were found. Goods to the value of about sixty dollars were taken, including a quantity of perfumery. Some little change which had been left in the money drawers was also taken. A monkey ' wrench which had been taken from the show case was found lying near the be- I safe, and it is thought an attempt anQ" i had been made to open the safe. No clew was left by which a trace could be found of the burglars. This is the third attempt at rob bery within the last six weeks. , Road Luna Onokea Is Bound Over (Special to the Garden Island) Waimea, June 26.

So far, it has appeared very much as though they were to be left be hind in this series, but they now seem to have pulled themselves to gether and out of the hole, and occupy a position on the percent age list no great distance from Homesteads. By far the weakest exhibition his i.of, baseball by two crack teams, which has been staged this season, was pulled off Sunday, when the Makaweli and Lihue teams crossed sticks on the Lihue Diamond. Aside from a number of individual playes, t h e game was entirely shorn of t h e least intimation of the class of ball which might be expected from what are supposed to be two of our best teams. Krrors were equally divided however, and the even scores prevailing from the second to the eighth innings, caused the greatest excitement. At the ending of the first half of the 9th.. Lihue retired with a score of 15 to 10, and had there 'been less errors during the game, ! the home team might have been considered easy winners. Waiau, , who had pitched a winning game I for Lihue up to this time, took an arial flight. He fumbled, paid no the gentlemen.

People are speculating during the week about the coming game and have something to think about in place of nursing a grouch. of plans and contemplated action favorable to the construction 111 the near future of the Hanalei wharf, we are informed by the papers that the Hon.

CANE 79:60 Root In Wainiha (Special to the Garden Island) Wainiha, June 26.- T5 s of the curtain dropping Awa root are being shipped from the Wainiha mountains monthly. Hon. J. K. Lota is directing the industry and finds a ready market with a fair price. The result of these errors cost Lihue the game, as they were re sponsible for the six extra runs which the visiting team rang up on the last lap, giving them a score of 16 against 15 and the game was won. Waiau has the making of an excellent pitcher but evident ly an insufficiency of strength to was 1 last throughout a nine inning game. Opunui and young Fernandez were in excellent team form and gained much admiration for their shrewd playing. Makanani batted a home bagger which also brought in two others who were anchored 011 bases, thus increasing the score by three runs. Maliua made two three-base hits. The Makaweli 1st. base showed skill seldom seen in the local league. Akina pitched in his usual good form but his support was, generally speaking, not up to standard by any means. The Lihue catcher wasdistressing 1 y weak, as was also the first pitcher. On the whole, the game iri conceded to have been by all odds, one of the most exciting but at the same time, poorest, ever played on the local field. Kilaueas, "the leaders," added another jewell to their crown on Sunday, when they battered the Eleeles to a pulp on the Makaweli ground. It was give and take from the word "go." At the 9th. inning the score stood 10 to 6 in Kilauea's favor, but the lileeles got a hunch and came over the plate with three m ore scores. with 10 to 9 in tavor ot the Kilaueas. The Kilaueas are now very much in the lead and are playing with a determination which bodes ill for the team which lacks such a spirit.
