My attention has been called to ,your article "stock stfll runs at will" in vour last issue. I herewith wish to quote you the law on the subject. Act 12 5 Session Laws 1907-Section 15. "On public roads lauds, ff any animal shall trespass Or stray upon any government roads in and around the citv of Honolulu, town and district o f Hilo, Hawaii ..towns of Wailtiku and Lahaina Maui., or upon any government road HOUNDED ON DOTH SIDES BY A LEGAL FENCE, or upou'any government 'land, in this Territory, any police constable or such person or persons as in a y thereunto authorized 1 n writing by the Hoard of Supervisors or road authorities of the county, are hereby authorized to take up such animals audi to impound the same in accordance with the pro visions of this Act." The government roads referred to by you. namely that of Kawai hau and Kalaheo are not bounded on both sides by a legal fence. Section 10 of the same Act defines a legal fence. "Every fence shall be 'deemed a lawful fence which shall bj made of stone, pdsts and rails,, posts and boards, posts and iron wire, "or other suitable materials, provided it be not less than four and a half feet in height, substantially built, strong a n d close to turn all stock excepting swine, and in good repair. The sea, rivers, ponds, and natural bluffs, whenever impassable, sliall be .legal fence;." The Police De partment of this County has no legal right -to take up any trespass ing or stray animal on a govern ment road unless the said road is legallv fenced o n both sides, according to Law. The question at issue was years ago submitted to the Cbuutv Attorney, Ssby me, and his verbal opinion was that my dopartmeut'had no legal right to make'the urtests of stray stock un ' less the road was properly fenced. . In f.iirrfess to the Deputy Sheriff fo( Kawnihau, I request that you publish the above. ' Wm. Henry Rick, ' Sheriff, County of Kauai. Editor's Notk: The stretch of road referred to in the above article, (or at least the' road referred to bv this paper) extends from Mr.' Neifson's resi dence to the Wailua school, and has the race track fence on one side and a stone fence on the other, which for all generalK purposes might be considered by most peo ple to be a "legal fence." The Kickers Are Kicked' Jan. 8, 1913. Dear Editor Gardkn Island: Permit us' to say a few words and we thank you honorable editor if you will print same in your good paper.., t We see time again remarks con cerning 'loose animals on our pub lic highways and a nuisance to Autoist who travel the high ways. Our common people's opinion is this those who drive autos are men and are supposed to have sense. If these people would think a moment ,and not believe . they are sole owners of the highway we think the highways will be pleasant to travel on. -f Can't they ease up a bit and save a little gas while approching a duin senseless animal and give them time to get out the road, don't the owners of these sense'fess animals pay their taxes which pay for the highway and pay properly tax besides and then they have " no rights to tresspass the highway. By Common People. Subscribers. Thanks to ve editor. Notice To Teachers At the teachers convention on Jan. 31st. the teachers are,request ed NOT to bring any.lunch as the ladies of Lihue will "(furnish same. JANITORS: FOB BIG SCHOOLS Hon. W . H. Rice our Com m i ,s sioner of Education is re sponsible for the naming of janitors for each of our large schools and a clean-up" man for the small schools, whose duty it shall be to visit such once each week possess ed with all the necessary paraphenell ia for giving each a thorough cleaning. This makes our schools appear quite citified, and adds one more lap t o the lead Kauai already has in the way of advantages over other islands' school departments. This highly satisfactory condition of affairs is the result of having live wires at the head of our schools instead of dead heads. In behalf of the teachers of Kauai. Tii"k Gardkn Island volunteers an expression of thanks t o our Honorable Com missioner tor the interest he has taken in school matters, and would suggest that a vote of thanks be given him by the 'members of the Kauai Teachers' Association as an indication of the appreciation of his thouglitfulness in supplying the schools with janitors. -t Lihue Library Report On behalf of the Lihue Library.

A Punch of Carnations A bunch o f Eleele musicians whose .-prowess as such is too favorably known to require intro duction, have organized under the name of the "Carnation Quintette." Just where or how the bojs came to adopt this flowery name for their club has not been fully explained but it is sort of whispered that a certain young lady whose favorite flower is the carnation, was some what instrumental in naming the club. The members of the club are John Gonsalves, Manuel Nunes Autone Pcreira, Joe Leaudio, Inenoo, with John Gonsalves as the director. The Club has had some brand new business cards printed, giving specific instruction a s to the pub's e x c irs e for existences. S. A.

I he Canning Company, said Mr. Tucker to a reporter, ' will lease sev ral hundred acres for its own use in growing pines, and the government will also lease the company Mifficient land in Kapaa village for a factory site. About 2,000 acres o f the best pineapple land in t h e Territory will be thrown open t o settlers to b e divided into 20 acre tracts, with the privilege of taking two lots adjoining which will practically allow each owner 40 acres of land . ' ' When asked what guarantee the Canning Company offered the growers that their crops would be taken, M r. Tucker stated that failure to live up to the require ments of the government lease, would be sufficient cause for the company to turn the factory over to the former, which will thus in sure the former against any undue advantage being taken of the settlers. The plant will cost in the neighborhood of a h u n d r e d thousand dollars, and the improve ments according to present plans, will run up to nearly half a million dollars. Mr. Tucker also visited Kalaheo where surveying is in progress on land which will shortly be put up for sale. The Hanalei beach lots will be sold within 60 days, the sale taking place i u Honolulu, where according to Mr. 1 ucker, it is thought better prices mav be : ooiaiueu. .mi . i ucKer was accom panied on his trip by Chief assis tant Territorial Surveyor.

In discussing the matter with a re porter the parent said: "I contend that to compel school children to grovel around through germ-laden grass tor the sake of picking paper, etc., which in many cases con tains spit filled with germs, is equally as bad as puioiely ex posing the child wherein a disease is known to exist. Children cough and spit as they plav, unmindful of the fact that a barefooted boy or girl who might have a sore on the feet might easily become contaminated through the source of contact with the germs thus deposited among the grass. We are a t present waging war agdnst the white plague, and in my opinion a rule by the dtpart m e n t of education prohibiting children from "yard cleaning" would be a great help to our authorities who are engaged in this battle for public health A much better plan would be to see that everychildwhothrows banana peels etc., onthe grounds, picks it up at once thus keeping the yard free from rubbish and making the prei sent loathsome habit only a thing of memory. It only requires a full realization of the dangers of the present ruling upon the part of the parents, to Show them the great risk to which their children are subjected. Padgett, Is Inventor Mr. H. S. Padgett, of Makaweli. and one of the best known steam- plow engineers in the Territory has invented what seems the first successful cane loader ever manu factured. In a page advertisement in to-day's issue, will be found a facsimilie of the machine in detail, lor which he lias received a patent. Mr. Padgett wishes to interest Plantation Manage! s in his inven tion, with a view to securing theii Tssistance in the manufacture of his machine and to this end offers as security paid up life insurance polices to the extent of several thousands of dollars for such aid. Japanese Girl Attacked Within a hundred yards of houses ablaze with lights, little ten-year-old H u s a Morimoto daughter o f a Hanamaulu rice planter w a s attacked while en route to the Japanese school about six o clock last Tuesday morning. The girls frantic screams were heard by neighbors who hastened to her aid, but on reaching the scene, no signs of the assailant could be found. According to the girl's story she supposed the dark object which came toward her to be a cow, until the man rushed to ward her. She managed to escape his grasp and screamed, for help at the same time running into the Ha namaulu school grounds where she. was met by those who had answet -cd her appeal for help. On Friday evening shortly after dark, a little Portuguese girl called at a neigh bor's and reported that some Fi lipinos were in the road and she l was afraid because they were us ing bad language to her. The neighbor saw her home, but as usual the gentry had done the dis appearing act.
