Paul Schmidt, Hackfeld & Co.'s oonular dry goods drummer, arrived on the Kinau last Thursday . SPECIAL COURT IS The delay in appointing a suc cessor to Hon. Jacob Hardy, Cir cuit Judge of the 5th. circuit, may entail the necessity of calling a special session, as the July term is so near to hand that a question has arisen as to whether or not it i9 too late to prepare for the July term. The largest uumber of cases are to be disposed of at the next term in the history of the court since annexation, and the main tenance of such a large number of prisoners until the fall term would mean a, great expense to the county. Hence the suggestion of a special session in case proper time has elasped for preparations for the coming term. M School Inspector T. H. Gibson Here Territorial Inspector of Schools Gibson, came up on the Kinau last Thursday morning. A brief visit was made to the various schools of the island with a view to securing first hand information on minor affairs. He was accom panied by Supervising Principal H. H. Brodie on his school visits. 4 Kauai Now to Get It's Belt Railroad An unconfirmed rumor is rife to the effect that the much-talked-pf of belt railroad for Kauai is about to assume actual shape. Those said to be behind the affair are men who "do things," and the early materialization of their scheme is probably due to the de finite location of the Port of Entry at Nawiliwili. It is thought that connecting the railroad lines of the various plantation would pro bably be the course pursued b y the promotors, though not enough has yet been learned to prophesy to any degree of certainty.

DOUBLE COUNT UNTIL NEXT Request For Extension of Time For Allowing Double Votes to Candidates Is Granted -End is Near. Two weeks remain between now and the closing of our big Auto Contest and the way our candidates are working, it is safe to say that these two weeks will see great strides towards the goal. Contestants have taken ad vantage of the opportunity the double vote gave them, and are working with renewed energy. We have received so many requests for an extension of the time for closing the double vote, that we have de cided to extend it to next Saturday afternoon. Therefore all votes turned into this office or mailed in the postoffice of the respective contestants by 4 p. m. Saturday, June 22nd, will count double.

Much friendly excitement prevails among the contestants, the friends of each Hilo Now Getting More'Steamers Hilo is to be congratulated on securing additional steamer service. Much as has been said concering the monopoly" of the Inter-Is land Co., there is one thing which cannot be charged against it, and that is lack of progressiveuess. It always stands ready to increase its service where the accomodation of the public is concerned, which fact is bourne out in the addition al service recently given Hilo. Watch Hilo "Blowl" Kansas Couple Are Among Our Tourists Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Har mon of Topeka Kansas, left for Honolulu Saturday after spending a week among Kauai's attractive scenery.

Eighty lots, averaging twenty acres each in area, have been laid out. Necessary roads and proposed reservior sites have been included in the work Mr. Tay returns to Honolulu and Mr. Podmore goes to Hanalei to survey the Waioli beach lots, which adjoin the home of Mr. C.

Big Holiday Feast In Kapaa Church The annual Feast of the Holy Ghost was held at the Kapaa Catholic Church on Sunday June 9th. 1912, and was well attended Music was furnished by the Kea lia Band, and by a choir under the direction of Mrs. Sheldon. After mass a procession was formed outside of the church, which marched around the grounds under arches. At intervals the band played and the choir sang.

A Very Good Road. .But Is Too Narrow When a heavily loaded grocery delivery wagon and a wagon load ed with rice must be unloaded in order to pass each other on a pub lie road there naturally follows a little dissatisfaction. This at present is the state of mind that those who use the Huleia road are in at present. A wider road "in spots" would be greatly appreci ated. Subscriber. We are informed as wc go to press that the people of Waimea are suffering from a lack of sum cietit water for domestic purposes UMAU TRACT GETS A PARK One of the most important things Land Commissioner J. D. Tucker did on his recent trip to Kauai was to confer with W. D. McBryde, the leading homestead ihg spirit of Kauai, as to the advis ability of setting aside lot 23 in the Omati homestead tract for public park purposes. The lot lies as nearly in the center of the tract as possible, is almost level and contains Gkt acres. Mr. Tucker was favorable to the project and since his return to Honolulu has informed Mr. McBryde, that upon the return of Governor Frear, the necessary proclamation will b e signed. The owners of the Omau lots are getting them into cane as rapidly as possible, and the Mc Bryde Plantation is carrying out a building scheme which calls for twenty-five new houses, much of the lumber being already on the ground. A movement is well under way to have water turned into the home of each homesteader as soon as his home is ready for occupa tion. ishing Boat Strikes A Dangerous Reef A gasoline fishing launch while cruising off Niihau last week, struck a hidden rock, and the seven occupants (Japanese) were thrown into the water and compelled to swim ashore which they reached in an almost exhausted condition. The boat was damaged almost be yond repair and was rescued by the survivors after many extremely dangerous efforts. Waimea is Facing Serious Beef h amine The scarcity of beef cattle, according to well founded rumor, will be more keenly felt over Ihe recent setting aside of the new forest reservation. The forest forms a grazing ground for a large portion of the present meat supply for the Waimea district, and the setting aside of this land as'a reserve means that a 1 1 cattle must be driven out, aud to the slaughter pen. Beef is so high now that those who are familiar with condi tions entertain pessimistic views as to the future, one cattle man saving that "the worst is yet to come." ' Plantation Gives Ground For School The Waimea Plantation has once more shown its policy of progres siveuess by donating 4800 square feet of land to the department of education for school purposes. The land is a strip 40 feet wide and 120 feet long, and adjoins the present school grounds. The cane is now being taken off and as soon as possible the new buildings which are to go up during vaca tion, will be commenced.
