had some nice things to sav of
Kauai on his return to Honolulu
The Kauai part of his report was
as follows:
"Arrived at Waimea and spent
four dcliuhtful clays on the island
and was busv all of this time see
ing the wonders of a lavish nature
Although Kauai is termed the
"Garden Isle" it has pttractions
in Waimea and Olokele canyon, to
sav nothing of freak of nature
like the 'barking sands' and 'spout
ing horn' that could keep the tour
ist busy for a month or longer
Tile hotels are excellent as ait also
the roads.
"A meeting of the Kauai cham
ber of commerce rt'ill be held next
Thursday afternoon arid it is hoped
that plans will lie completea to
energetically advertise the great
attractions of Kauai for the tour
ist."

Are vou going to hang up your
stockings ?
Yes.
I wouldn't, if I were you.
Why not?
Because then vour presents will
have to fit in it, and you want
something more than a silver hat
pin. A Boy Injured
A Japanese bov, aged 6, near
Hanamaulu, was kicked by a
horse a few days ago and received
severe stomachic injuries. At the
Lihue hospital Dr. Hofmann at
first feared that the injuries were
serious, but such has happily
proved not to be the case.

KAUAI NOTES IN
L
Thrum's Annual for 1915 con
tains a verv interesting article from
the pen of J M. Lydgate entitled
"Sandalwood Days." On the other
pages are the following references
to the Kauai Historical Societv:
1 he Katiat Historical Societv
completed its first year of existence
in August, 1915. It has been a
year of much interest and activity
in recalling and recording the early
history of the Island. Much valu
able material, largely reminiscent,
has been collected concerning Li
hue, Koloa and Wailua mainly,
and much more is in hand from
other sections, so that it is hoped
that ultimately the whole Island
will be covered and no important
available information be overlook
ed. It is to be regretted that other
Islands, especially Hawaii and
Maui, have not organized similar
societies.
The Garden Island this past
year has made public a series of
local reminiscent contributions, be
ing papers of the Kauai Historical
Societv, and compromised: Lihue,
by Mrs. W. H. Rice. Jr., Koloa,
bv Hon. W.O, Smith and Rev.J.M.
Lvdgate, as also Wailua, by Judge
L. A. Dicktv. Hawaii and Maui
journals mignt do l.ke service to
perpetuate the memories of historic
interest of their older residents.
We venture the opinion that sudi
subjects as Early Recollections of
Hilo; Historic Kailua; Kawaihae
in its palmy clays; Lahaina's period
of political and commercial supre
macy; hast Maui, the cradle of
Hawaiian farming effort, and othet
points that might be named, would
prove of interest to present-day
readers, and valuable for reference
in years to come.
The Civic Convention is referred
to in the following manner:
Konrni civic convention-
The idea of an annual conven
tion of the Civic Bodies of the ter
ritory is growing in favor if we
may judge by the attendance, in
terest and enthusiasm of the Fourth
Annual Civic' Convention held at
Lihue, Kauai. Sept. 26 and 27,
1915. It is significant that there
was a singular unanimity of em
phasis on the constructive side, the
opportunities and responsibilities
of the good citizen rather than the
failures and shortcomings ot the
public servant.
Such conventions cannot fail to
leave beneficial results, if not al
ways directly , at least indirectly
in educational ways and the stimu
lation of fellowship and unity.

FILIPINO THIEF
GOES BACK HOI
Last week a Filipino went ou the
veranda of a cottage back of Li
hue Store and stole a pair of shoes
belonging to one o f the store
clerks wno was living there. A
Japnnesewoman witnessed the theft
and gave the alarm. Several em
ployees of the store assembled and
gave chase, but the thief succeed
in making his escape.
On Friday the man, Augustine
Godoy. boldlv walked into Lihue
Store, with the stolen shoes on.
The owner of the shoes at once
recognized his property. It hap
pened that Special Officer Chang
Ai was in the store and was notf
fied, The thief wfls placed under
arrest.
Godoy was arraigned in the Li
hue police court Saturday morn
ing, found guilty and sentenced to
imprisonment fr one year.
It developed after the arrest
that the thief is an old jail-bird
and had just finished serving a
sentence for a similar offense. So
in returning to j dl he is merely
going back home.
An amusing thing happened in
the court just after the thief had
been sentenced. Half aloud, he
muttered in his native tongue:
"That is a heavy sentence for an
old pair of shoes. They were not
worth it." The interpreter in
formed the court officials of this
remark later.
WAIMEA WHARF 10
BE STARTED SOON
Captain Gregory, of the Kinau,
appeared before the Board of Har
bor Commissioners last Wednesday
in Honolulu and told them some
plain facts about the present wharf
at Waimea. II e said the wharf
there was now i.i such bad shape
that it was liable to collapse at any
time, and that unless something
were done soon the consequences
might be serious. A Honolulu let
ter gives the following account of
what will be done about it:
Honolulu Dec. 20 At a meeting
of the board of harbor commission
ers held here last Wednesday even
ing, the plans and specifications for
the proposed new wharf at Wai
mea, Kauai, were approved. The
board stated that work will be be
gun immediately following the
conclusion of condemnation pro
ceedings, and advertising. This
probably will be shortly after the
first of the year, it was stated.
The proposed new wharf will be
530 feet long, one of the longest
of its kind in the territory, and
will be constructed of wood and
concrete. It will be built along
the lines of the latest mainland
models.
The members of the harbor board
expect to visit Kauai shortly after
the first of the year, particularly
to look over the new wharf site.
No specific date for the visit has
been announced, however.
Estate Matters
In the Circuit Court, at Cham
beis. last Saturday Judge L. A.
Dickey approved the accounts and
signed an order discharging the
administrator in the matter of the
estate of the late August Ferriera,
of Kapaa.
The same course was taken in
the matter of the Bishop Trust
Company, administrator of the es
tate of the late Kazo Tekushima,
also of Kapaa.
.
The New Committees
The new committees of the Kau
ai Chamber of Commerce will be
selected bv Presideut Avery this
week and will be announced iu

Island.
