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. Now that

Waimea Man Is Badly Scalded
A recent fire in Waimea in
a Japanese hotel was caused
through a drunken Japanese kick
ing a lighted lamp over while
sleeping. The man was badly
burned about the feet and hands
and was taken to the hospital for
treatment. The fire was ex
tinguished before much damaged
ensued.

while the public was greatly in

all will soon be forgotten and the
crowds will gather as usual to greet

However, had there been a pro-j

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

"I figure that Kuhio will

have to W iouubt for by the
other candidates for the dile

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

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

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."

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.
