Tho Kaniehnmcha boys (128 of
them), under tho management of Pres.
13. C. Webster, arrived by tho Ktnau
Friday morning and have pretty well
filled up the Llline horizon ever since.
They wore quartered at the Armory,
where they found spacious and com
fortable accommodations.
Friday night there was'a basket ball
contest at tho Armory between the
Kam. boys and a local team, in which
the Kam. boys won easily, though the
local team did excellent work.
Saturday evening there was a con
cert at the Tip Top, followed by a
danco at tho Armory, both of which
were crowded by friends from all
parts of the Island. Sunday tho, boys
attended tho Llhue Union and Llhuo
Hawaiian churches in a body, where
they added very much to the interest
of tho services by their spirited sing
ing as well as by their presnce.
In the afternoon they gave a fine
exhibition military drill in tho park
which was enjoyed by a big crowd
the grand stand was full as well as tho
band stand, and there were over 100
automobiles parked around the field.
Drill and Review
Before a vast concourse of specta
tors filling the grandstand and in
autos lined up around tho field, the
promised rdill and review by tho
Kamehameha cadets, came off on Sun
day afternoon in the Llhue park.
Tho cadets entered the park In bat
allion formation and successively went
through setting up exercises, Butts
manual and batalllon maneuvers, with
a swing and precision that called forth
applause from tho spectators. When
the Colors were brought on the field
the batallion passed in review before
Lieutenant Cleveland, the instructor,
closing up a" very well executed per
formance, a credit to tho school and
its leaders.

An Outing for the Boys
Tho Kam boys had tho finest outing
of their lives as the guests of Mr. Wm.
Hyde Itice at Haena on Monday. Tho
Rice's beach home at Haena is an
ideal place for such an outing, with
the sea and tho swimming, tho moun
tains and palis and tho rich treasures
of local Hawaiian lore available from
the Hps of such a host.
The "paina" was just such as Mr.
lllce can prepare and dispense to a
line finish. Five hundred laulaus, it
is said, and all tho other Hawaiian
delicacies that go with them till the
boys could hardly see out of their
eyes. No wonder thoy think that
Kauai is "Holu akahi!"

A SUICIDE
A Korean, about forty-five years of
age, was found hanging on a treo at
Kapaia on Sunday. Ill or despondency
seems to have been tho cause of tho
ru3h act. A coroner's inquest was hold
in the County Building on Monday but
without eliciting anything further that
couUi possibly throw a light on the
why's and wheroforo's.
Tho following passengers arrived
by tho Kinau this morning: A. Horner,

A SEND OFF
" FOR THE
MS
The Indies of (lie Mokihana
flub of Lihue entertained the
visiting ICaiiiolmiiichsi boys at the
Tip Top liist evening in an Inform
al sort of general reception with
a few brief addresses of welcome
and appreciation, some excellent
singing by the boys themselves,
and a general distribution of ice
cream cornucopias.
Mr. A. (5. Knuliikou was chair
man of the evening and spoke very
appreciatively of the work of the
schools, and very earnestly of the
needs of the Hawaiian race, which
were being met by them.
, Mrs. Lydgate, speaking for the
Mokihana flub, handed the boys
some very nice hoqucts, and did it
very gracefully, and then impress
ed upon them some important
welfare injunctions with the re
quest that they remember them in
their homes and pass them on to
their friends.
Mr. Warner impressed on them
the obligation of'their advantages
and bade them go forth as leaders
and .initiators especially along
manual and agricultural lines.
Mr. Lydgate touched brielly on
the magnificent equipment of the
schools, and their fitness for a
much larger work than they were
doing. All they needed was more
material to work with, more youth
to till their halls and use their
shops.
President AVebster being called
for made a quietly witty rejoind
er, in which lie expressed his great
appreciation of the way Kauai
had treated them, and declared
that if a vote were taken the boys
would all agree that Kauai was
the tinest island of the bunch.
The boys were the guests of W.
II. Kice yesterday at Haena,
where a luau was prepared for
them. Today they will visit the
Spouting Horn and Kukuiolono
Park.
Trying to Save
The Cargo Left
An effort is being made by the
owners to salvage; the 51(54 barrels
of coconut oil, cargo of the Amer
ican schooner William Olcsou,
which was pounded to pieces of
the west end of Niihnu on the
night of April L'Olli.
According to ('apt. I). Mc
Donald, the four masted schooner
William Oleson left Tahiti March
'2'2, bound for San Francisco with
":() tons copra and 5!(!4 barrels of
coconut oil. At 10 o'clock on the
night of April 10th, in a heavy
mist, t lie schooner hit a reef oil'
Niihau. Captain McDonald and
his men did not have time to say!
any of their belongings for the ves
sel settled rapidly and high seas
began pounding her.
The schooner was till tons bur
den and owned by X. II. Hickman
of San Francisco. She was built
in in Alameda and has plied
the south seas many times. Cap
tain McDonald and his men left
Waimca, Kauai on the Manna Lou
last Thursday evening, and are
now waiting for accomodations
from Honolulu to San Francisco.
Superintendent of Public Instruct
ion MacCaugliey, who was expected to

VICTORY LOAN UP
TOWARD THE TOP

Undoubtedly, as always before,
Kauai will make good.
Burned to Death
A very unusual and fatal acci
dent took place last week at Ken
lia when Bang Yuen, a Chinese
cane cutter was burned to death
in a cane lire that got out of con
trol in one of the tields of the
Makee Sugar Company. Bang
Yuen was one of the cutters in the
cane harvesting gang, nnd was
helping cut a tlreline to head oh
the blaze that had gotten away
from the burners. The cutters
were cutting a line from botli
sides and when the line was com
pleted the two gangs that were
cutting the lines from opposite
directions met just in time to
rush out before the sweeping
Humes. Yuen fell behind his com
panions and was overtaken by the
fire. His body was afterwards re
covered in a very burned ami
mutilated condition, having been
nearly consumed bv the Humes.
A Unique Dinner Party
In resppnse to very original lnvlta
tions a select party of old friends, in
cluding some of the tribe of Denjamin,
a couple of the tribe of Levi, and a
Good Samaritan doctor, met at tho
homo of them who sit at tho receipt
of custom in tho town of Koloa, on
Saturday ovening last. Tho occasion
was a cut dividend dinner, one third
off, which brought retrenchment and
dispay to the hearts of the stock
holders of Makaweli, but wasn't evi
dent at all in tho sumptuous dinner
that was served in spite of the fact
that one-third was taken off each and
every dish. Souvenir mourning hand
kerchiefs were supplied into which to
weep for the lost dividend.
With very commendable wisdom
dinner was set for 5:30 which gave
t.me for a nice, long, congenial even
ing, and a chance to get homo at 'a
very reasonable hour.
It was suggested that if one-third off
produced a dinner like that, bettor try
two-thirds off.

Concerning Basket- Ball.
An exhibition of indoor basket
ball. between the Kam boys and
two pick-up teams from Lihue
was staged in the armory last Fri
day night as part of the evening's
entertainment by the Y. M. C. A.
The games drew a large crowd
which entered into the spirit of
the sport very much like ''old
timers" and it is now under
stood that of "old timers" there
were present not a few.
The lirst game in which a Na
wiliwili aggregation met the
champions from Honolulu, was
not as exciting a preliminary as
could be desired, but the Nawili
wili boys were willing to be sacri
ficed for the sake of the sport. In
the second game some of the old
timers appeared on short notice
and were just lively enough to
compel the Kam live to show up
their best. The score was 2) toS
in favor of the Kams. The second
half was particularly fast and
there was some good playing on
both sides considering that the
teapis were made up impromptu
and this is not basket ball season.
It is hoped however that, the ex
hibition in basket ball as a young
man's game was siitlicieut to con
vince the boys and men of Kauai
that an indoor league next season;
would be a proper sport forj
Kauai. Many who have held the (
belief that basket ball is just for,
children and girls already hae
changed their opinion. Kilaueaj
and Lawai already have teams
and there is no reason why an
all-Kauai league could not lie
organized ami a Kauai champion-' Tho Mokihana rummage sale, adver
ship team developed to match anv' tl80d for Saturday. May 3. has been
that Honolulu produces. Plan- PtPod to Saturday, May 10. On
tation nium.L'crs will do well to that date It will come off sure, and will
bear this in mind when planning
for the construction of new social
halls.
Preliminary to the basket ball
game several reels of movies were
shown out of doors with the port-
able Y machine. At the close of
the evening's entertainment ice-
cold punch ami sweet cakes were
served to the boys who expressed
their appreciation heartily.
A Signficant
Railway Connection
Preliminary investigations and stir
veys are being made by J. H. Mnragne
at the instance of the Koloa plantation
with the purpose of extending the
plantation railway up into the Gap for
the transportation of their mauka cane
as well as that of tho Knudscn plan
tation. By careful study of tho prob
lem Mr. Moragno thinks he can get a
two per cent, or a two and a half per
cent grade, which is very good for a
plantation road.
Tills will leave but a short gap of
half a mile or so to connect up with
the Grove Farm-Lihuo system, and
this connection will be made, it is
understood.
Tills will give an all-rail through
connection from Makaweli to Llhuo, or
more exactly from the Waimea river
to tho Wailua river. Another short
gup here can be filled in by bridging
this river, which will connect up the
Kealia system. This will then practi
cally meet the requirement of connect
ing up the South side of the Island
with Nawillwlll.
The Death of
Mrs. J. K. Kula
Tho death of Mrs. James K. Kula
is reported Trom Honolulu, where she
died at the Queen's Hospital, April
24th. Mrs. Kula was born and brought
up in Koloa, where they lived until
recently, and where thoy have still
have a home.
Mrs. Kula was an exceptionally
capable, intelligent, attractive and
winsome woman, closely identified
with all matters of Interest and well
being to her race, and always ready to
lend a helping hand to any and every
good cause.
IUchly endowed with native graces,
and virtue that characterize tho Ha
waiian race, every one liked her that
knew her, and she leaves a host of
friends to mourn her departure.
The funeral will take place at -the
Koloa church to-morrow, afternoon
(Wednesday), at 2:45 p. in.

VISITORS FROM HILO
Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Snow have been
spending a fow days on Kauai. They
come from Hawaii, where they have
been successful homesteaders about as
far back as there have been any home
steaders at Olaa. Before that Mr.
Snow was engineer on the Missionary
steam schooner "Morning Star", which
made regular tours of the South Seas,
and brought home marvellous tales of
adventure and escape.
Mrs. Snow was a Miss Hitchcock, a
! member of tho old mission family of
that name, and a cousin of artist How
ard Hitchcock. Her memories run
back through many and great changes
to the old missionary days and the old J
missionary lite that seems too far
away to be real. I
They have been very much pleased
with what they have seen of Kauai
and don't wonder that it is culled the
Garden Island.

COMING
EXHIBITS
FOR THE FAIR
W. F. Sanborn, Fair Commissioner
for Kauai, was in Lihue last Saturday
afternoon on business relating to the
coming Territorial Fair. Mr. Sanborn
reports that he lias heard from several
Kami plantation managers and large
planters regarding proposed exhibits
at the Fair next Juno, and according
to all indications n good deal of in
terest has already been worked up on
Fair matters.
Among tho proposed exhibits Is a
very interesting ono proposed by
Manager B. D. Baldwin, of tho Hawaii
an Sugar Company. Mr. Baldwin in
tends to include among his exhibits
tho new fuel that Is being manufactur
ed from sugar cane bagasse and mo
lasses. This new fuel which resemb
les coke in appearance has been manu
factured at Makaweli for somo time
now, and is being distributed among
tho employees for use as fuel in their
kitchens. So far the demand for this
new fuel far exceeds the-supply avail
able. Apparently tho new product Is
much preferred to wood or coal.
This should prove a very Interesting
exhibit along with other interesting
things that Mr. Baldwin will have on
exhibition at the fair. Makaweli has
always been a pioneer along mechani
cal lines on Kauai, and has set the
pace for others, especially when it
conies to the utilization of by-products.
Mr. Wolters of Makee Sugar Com
pany has also agreed to "come thru"
with a good exhibit for the fair, but
the exact nature of the exhibit has not
yet been disclosed, but something ex
ceptional is expected, as there art!
several very interesting projects being
carried on at Makee that would be pf
Interest to the people visiting the fair.
No doubt something agricultural and
along the lines of home production and
'.onscrvation of food will be sent in
from here.
Other managers on Kauai are
scratching their heads just at present
trying hard to think up something that
will really tako and make a hit. Man
ager Broadbent of Grove Farm, who
Is very interested in diversified farm
ing as well as sugar cane, will havo
somo very Interesting things to ex
hibit. His home-mixed mule feeds
and cassava meal will undoubtedly
make a most interesting exhibit at
this time when cassava Is coming Into
tho limelight again due to recent Fed
eral investigations regarding the uses
for this valuable plant. Mr. Broad
bent's home-mixed feeds nro an ex
ample along agricultural lines, and as
far as conservation and home product-.
Ion Is concerned, of great interest to
plantation men.
It is also hoped that Kilauca will
present some very valuable additions
to the agricultural section of the fair
as Manager Larson is deeply interest
ed in such things and has introduced
a good many features along these lines
on his plantation since ho took It over.
Mokihana Meeting
The Mokihana meeting is postponed
until Friday, May 2. Mr. Vaughan
MacCaughoy, superintendent of pub
lic Instruction will address tho meet
ing on the vital subject of "Building
up the Schools of Hawaii."
A series of afternoon teas has en
gaged the attention of the Hanamaulu
ladles during tho mouth. The latest
hostess was Mrs. Bowen, whose
guests at a very pleasant gathering
last Wednesday afternoon were Mrs.
Mesick, Mrs. Christian, Mrs. Ander
mann, Mrs. Crandhomme, Mrs. Alston,
Mrs. Wood and Miss Wood.
