T ImPDRTAN WON BY STRIKERS Inter-Island Skippers And Mates Do the Hold Up to Bring Company to Terms-Success Crowns Efforts STRIKERS GET FIFTEEN PER CENT The following table of scale of wages which has gone into effect ns the result of last week's strike among the Inter-Island captains and mates, will show conclusively that the sea-going gentry came off best, if the salary question was the chief bone of contention. The manner in which the. steamship Company capitulated to its men, indicates that, the latter have a hold on them in Some mysterious way that the Company dares not refuse their demands.

I .1 - .---r y PLAN OF KAUAI'S NEW COUNTY will be a big advantage over pre- sent arrangements. A call T while the public was greatly in convenienced by the occurrence, all will soon be forgotten and the crowds will gather as usual to greet the incoming and out-going human j traffic. ( However, had there been a pro-j flongation of the traffic, inasmuch as the food and coal supply is con cerned, matters would have become jseriouswith Kauai. But this did not happen, so let us not think on what might have been, but b e found occupied in thoughts for the future.

PER MONTH GRAND JURORS TRIAL JURORS KUHIO WILL LOSE "I figure that Kuhio will lose one-thi'd of the votes, which have always leen al lowed by the politicians to the business community.. The rtmaining two-thirds w i 1 i have to W iouubt for by the other candidates for the dile gateship. Mr. Dowsett has great strength with the Ha waiian and this, in my opi nion, makes the election of a elelegute a toss-up. Which ever way the matter is look ed at. the business men's candidate goes into his fight with no worse than an even chaine of winning. "Sh u!d the Republican conven'ion be the reflection of the business men's sugges tions, then the convention will be a Dowsett convention. If it is- a Dowsett- convention thiMi the few deciding votes, ' in my estimation about 50, can easily be won by the Republican party." Emu. Bi;kxdt " ; Earthquake and Fire An earthquake and fire at Con stantinople last Saturday resulted in the death of at least a thousand men, women and children, serious ly injuring many thousands more and destroyed untold millions of dollars worth of property. The surrounding country was also eTevastaled, villages have dis appeared without leaving a trace. Towns with thousands of inhabit ants have been wiped out and the destruction of human life is appall ing. 0, You Koloa Concert ! "How do you like mother "m slows' Soothing Syrup?" "Don't know.

"You must be a back-number! Didn't you know that the Koloa Libiaiy is going t o give a grand entertainment? With the most beautiful tableaus?

Mrs. Wishard Gives Picnic Mrs. Wishard gave the children of Lihue a little outing picnic on the Hanauuiulu beach last hnday.

Girvin, formerly connected with the engineer's department at Kwa, has accepted a position with the Koloa Sugar Plantation in the capacity of Chief Knginecr. Mr. Girvin was at one time employed by the Mal.aweli Sugar Co., having installed a large amount of the mill machinery, which experience makes his ser vices as chief at Koloa, a valuable asset in the construction of the new sugar mill which the company j is soon to construct. Mr. Girvin is a brother cf Mrs. W. H. Rice, i Jr.. of Lihue. PLUCKY GIRL OFFI CER SUED FOR DAMAGE Wit'e-a-vuke Land-Agent of Kapaa Knows Her Busi ness And Does It ATTORNEY GtNERAL WILL ASSIST Hee Fat. Prominent Rice Plant er Tries To Evade Law But Fails Pre t t y Miss Blank, sub-land agent for the Kapaa Distiict and a popular Kapaa teacher, and who, as agent, has been given uuthority to impound est ray animals which might presume to brouse on the public domain, finds herself in the toils of the law as the result of her efforts to cany out her instruc tions. Sometime ago. this airent was allowed the assistance of a ranger whose duties were chief ly to take up all loose stock found on government lands. Now it happened that the Hon. Hee Fat, a well-known rice planter of Ka paa, notwithstanding he posesses hundreds of acres of leased lands, decided to incorporate the public lands with his pasture, and with out the "if you p 1 e a s e sir." prom ply turned thirteen of his animals not only on the public road, but turned them loose on the baseball park. Had Mr. Fat known the power of the unlucky number, he would not have sat quite so complacently, as he gazed across his golden rice fields. The sun had begun its western retreat, the Hee Fat animals had apparently harvested about all the tender grass which had survived a . previous ball game, when lo, and behold, M r . Ranger appeared. To the pound went he and the thirteen Hee Fat animals, and in the pound the latter remained until His Royal Highness made a noise like fifty cents per head in order to get them home again. Now it transpires that Mr. Hee Fat is a heap big man among the Kapaaites and to be so summarily dealt with, especially at the hands of the law was too much to bear, so he accordingly sought the ad vise of. County Clerk Kaneakua, one of our local legal lights, with a view to punishing those respon sible for trampering with his rights. , Brings Damage Suit After hearing his case, attorney Kaneakua came to the conclusion that Hee Fat had a kick due him and advised that the fair official of the law .be prosecuted for damages. The agent was notified and the fight is on, and it is needless to say that the young lady has the sympathy and kokua of very pub lic spirited and law abiding citizen on Kauai in her fight in upholding the law. It must be remembered that she is fighting for what the community has so long wished foi the k"eping of stock off the public highway. I t is certainly a re markable case when one realizes that a lone girl has pluck enough to elo that which men are said to be afraid to do for fear of losing their positions. Stav with it, young lady , you've got public opinion, the Attorney General's department and Thk Garden Island on your side of the fence, and anything else don't count, nohow.
