Chorus
Honky Honk, Honky Honk,
Around Kauai they fly;
Give a shout of bon voyage
To Ida and to Guv.

He saw she had a motor,
And so with one accord
He bought himself a runabout,
The best he could a Ford.
Chorus.
III.
They say that Guy can survey
And measure off the land,
But he proved himself much smarter
Byj-winning Ida's hand,
Chotus.
IV. 1
And now that thev are matried,
We wish them lots of jov;
To Ida fair, Aloha;'
To Guy, you l. ":ky boy.
Chorus.

The History of Lihue
At the last meet of the Kauai ,
Historical Society. Mrs. W. II.
Rice, Jr., rf Lihue. read m histor
ical paper on the subject of Li
hue, which, however, included
facts and incidents of interest to
the wl ole island :f Kauai. That
paper will be reproduced almost in
full in Tun GunnN Lsi.an'p, in
w eekly' instalments, beginning
with today, Mrs. Rice said:
It is with apologies that I pre
sent tonight this patter on Lihue,
before so many of you who have
been so vitally interested in its
growth and prosperity and I trust
you will pardon any little disgres
sions that I may make from the
subject.
The name Lihue applied, in a
.larger sense, included the districts
of what are now Kawaihau, and
Lihue, reaching from Anahola to
the Gap, being made so bv law in
about die vear 1861, according to
early couit records, but some years
later divided into the present two
distiicts".
The large district w a s also
known as the Puna district and is
Police court fines and costs on
Kauai during the month of Decem
ber amounted to nearly $1,500,
divided ss follows, in round fig-ur'-:
Waumca district court,- $196.
00; Koloa, $500; Lihue. S350; Ka
waihau, $300: Hanalci. $125.
It inav be explained that the ex
cess at Koloa over Lihue, Waimea
and other towns, does not indicate
that the good people over there
"broke loose" during December.
The fact is that the Kolou police
rounded up several large bunches
of offenders, the total of whose
fines ran into big money.
Sheriff Rice states that court
business during 191 1 was rather
heavier than for the preceding
year, and that collections from
fines and costs ran somewhat over
former records.
Now Year's Eve
Nuniuous dinners and lions
parties all over the island marked
New Year's live. There were no
really big events anywhere, the
largest probablv being the open
ing of Kalaheo hall mentioned
elsewhere. String bandi were out
in Waimea. visiting also other
neighboring towns; and all along
the line around to Kil.uiea, orches
tras were out serenadi g. The Ha
nalei glee club visited Lihue and
the music was much enjoyed.

found on early maps as such. It
was August thirteenth, 1S80, that
the district was divided into two,

Kalakaua's signature. Kawaihau,
meaning "ice-water" was said to
have received its name at the
hands of King Kalakatia and his
party, on their assumption of
"The simple life" when the move
was made from Honolulu to Kau
ai, to inaugurate cane planting at
Kapahi, a venture that was never
pushed to completion. Lihue, in
a iocal sense, and from which the
name of the district was derived,
meant only that little pDrtion of
land upon which the present vil
lage, as consisting of bank, post
office and store, now stand.
I shall deal tonight with that
part of t'ne district of Lihue, in

residents lived far apart they were
nevertheless members of one social
and business community and keen

A Filipino named Julio de la
Cruz is under arrest at Waimea on
a temporary charge of carrying a
deadly weapon. Before the case
comes to trial, however, it is like
ly that he will lie "charged with

It is alleged that last Thursday,
at Camp 2. de la Cruz opened fire
with a pistol on another Filipino
named Anastacio Painpin. The
latter was not struck, but did some
lively dodging and got away to
make complaint against his assail
ant. A woman was at the bottom of
the shooting aifair.

1!L IN HURT IN
ROAD COLLISION
John Lovell, Ir., driver for the
Nawiliwili Garage, had a collision
with a train of cane cars makai of
the Hotel Lihue Saturday after
noon that partially wrecked his
mail truck and came near resulting
seriously to himself.
Lovell had left the postofficc
with his load of mail and was
speeding down the Nawiliwili road
to catch the Kinau at the lauding.
When the car track below the ho
tel was approached, a train of cane
cars suddenly backed in across the
road. Lovell tried to check his
machine, and partially succeeded;
but the crash was sufficient to
throw him off his seat and partial
ly wreck the vehicle.
The radiator of the autotruck was
broken and one wheel was smash
ed, besides which there were minor
injuries, which will call for re
pairs. Lovell was cut about the neck,
and was considerably bruised and
stunned. 1
There has been some comment
of late regarding the speed made
by the mail car on its wav to steam
ers; and there appears to be a feel
ing that a little less speed and
greater safety would go well for a
change.
