HAPPY COUPLE AR
RIVES ON THE
S.S.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Behr, bride
and groom, the latter being a
brother of Mrs. R. P. Spalding of
Kcalia were arrivals on the Kinau
last Wednesday. Despite the fact,
that the Kinau reached port at 2 A.
,M; a host of friends, supplied with
a bag of rice, old shoes, and canned
music, were at the dock to receive
them. As the small boat, bearing
the bridal couple neared the dock, a
big Victor phonegraph which had
been placed on a car, and rolled to
the end of the wharf', struck up a
wedding march. This evidently
'served as a warning to the young
couple as to what was in store foi
them in the immediate future. The
keen eyes of the reception com
mittee, however, were not to be
outdone and as the boat glided up
to its moorings, showers of rice,
old shoes, 'congratulations, and
great hunks of the wedding march
filled the air.
The groom is quite well known
on Kauai, having spend much of his
time here last year, while the bride
is a member of a prominent
Pasadina California family. They
will make Kealiu their future
home. Mr. Behr having secured

The Waimea people suifered
terribly last, week from a "Water

water did get into the pipes was
mud, and water for hundreds of
families was carried in buckets
from a spring in the upper part of
the town. This condition lasted
.for four days."

The Kauai Teachers' annual
Convention which was held in Li
hue last Friday was a pronounced
success from start to finish, 82 of
the 89 teachers being present.
Many regrets were expressed that
illness prevented Mrs. Brown of
Waimea from being present as' her
school is doing some special work
which the rest of tl& teachers were
anxious to see demonstrated. The
meeting was called to order by
President Rice at 9 o'clock, and
after roll call, the election of
officers for the ensuing year was
taken up, and by acclimation the

The question of Janitor service
for our public schools was taken
up and it w a s decided that a
petition be drawn up and signed
by all the teachers, praying the
County Fathers to give this matter
their immediate consideration. Miss

President W. H. Rice, closed
the forenoon's program with one
of his characteristic speeches, after
which the teachers were all invited
to bounteously spread tables,
where the Lihue ladies bedecked
in bib and tucker, were awaiting
them. The lunch was delicious,
and the mirth and wit characteristic
of the profession, added the finish-
ing touch (if indeed such was re
quired) to an otherwise perfectly
delightful luncheon. The Lihue
ladies were given "three times

a mark of appreciation of their
hospitality.

DOLLAR WATER
According to rumor, which ha
indications of facts as background,
Kauai will soon be provided with
a water work's system equal to any
project ot its kind in the Territory.
The scheme is one in which it is
said that a million and a half
dollars will be expended. Just who
is back of this gigantic undertak
ing has not yet been made public,
but in some quarters, it is hinted
that the Kekaha Plantation has a
finger in the pie.
Whether the rumor is authentic
or not is not admitted,
However, its known positively that
certain prominent parties have
been offered positions on the main
ditch which, according to the
statement by one of such men to a
reporter, will require about two
vears t o complete. The plan as
outlined by the promoters, is one
whereby the plantations from Koloa
to Kekaha will be supplied with
sufficient water for all the necessary
purposes including irrigation, etc.

wonderful progress in her health.
From what was supposed to be a
hopeless case, her eyesight has
been restored. She has recovered
the use of her arms, and is able to
assist herself in rising from the bed,
being also able to do considerable
walking, unassisted. Her doctors
are most hopeful of a complete re

treatment may be required to
attain this end.
