BASEBALL CHAMPS
The championship of the inter
.scholastic basehall series for 1910
was won on Kamehanieha Day
when Waiinea defeated Kapaa
by the close margin of u single
run, the score being 11 - 10. It
was a spoctnsular finish and a
large crowd was present to cheer
for both sides. It must not be
understood that Kapaa was in,
the running for the first place as
Lihue cue second and the best
that Kapaa could do was to take
third place which she did. But
had Kapaa managed to beat the
chapions in that game Lihue
would have had a chance still to
win the coveted trophy. Two
games proceeded the champion
match on the same day. Visit
ing teams from Waimea, Elecle,
Koloa and Kapaa to settle their
arguments on Lihue diamond so
it was one grand day of baseball
and may have disturbed the re
pose of the honored and ancient
king of Hawaii- But Kameha
nieha would have been proud of
his great, grand sons on this his
birthday had he seen any one of
these games. In the first game
Eleele defeated Kapaa in a pitch
er's battle. The work of the Ele
ele twirler was remarkable for a
youngster and excited consider
able comment. It is reported that
he is an exMcKingly High fresh
man and that he learned the
science in Honolulu. Kapaa had
to save their pitcher for the sec
ond game, lmving two games to
play on one da v. The score 'was
i - 1.
Lihue met Koloa and had pret
ty hard work to maintain their
title to second place in the league
as Koloa has shown much im
provement right along and seem
ed to have been playing in hard
luck. The score was 9 G.
Great excitement prevailed
throughout the final game as the
score was tied three 4imes after
Kapaa had led off with five runs
in the first inning. One Waiinea
player may have saved the day
when he reminded his team mates
very forcibly what they came over
for in words like these: "Sup
pose you play like that we not
win I tell you." It seem to brace
the others up and they redeemed
themselves at bat in spite of Ka
paa's clever fielding and evident
ly accomplished what they came
for namely to take "back the ba
con." Immediately, following the
game, at the request of Mrs. Isen
berg who had donated the prie,
Mr. Warner presented the silver
mounted baseball man to the cap
tain of the Waiinea team but stat
ed that it would have to be won a
second time to be held perma
nently as only half of the series
had really been played. Mr.
Warner complimented the boys
on their good playing and com
mended the fine spirit and sports
ship of all the schools participat
ing in the league this year. The
Y. M. C. A. will present Waimea
with a "1!)1!)" Championship"
pennant which is being made in
Honolulu and which unfortunate
ly hail not arrived on the day of
the final game. The "standing of
the teams follows:

CONCERT
IDELER COMING
Wo aro most happy to announce
that Mr. Ideler will give Kauai an
other ot his delightful violin concerts
on Monday evening at eight o'clock,
Juno 23rd, at tho Lihue social hall.
Those who have heard Mr. Ideler be
foro will welcome this news and will,
wo are suro( lend their support to the
concert.
Let tho community embrace this
opportunity, which so seldom comes
to us on Kauai, ot hearing good mu
sic Let us remember too that while
during the war most of us have been
free to follow pro-war time business
pursuits, Mr. Ideler has been in the
army and so could not continue his
concert work.
Wo assure you of a pleasant musi
cal evening, and ask your support.
The proceeds of tho concert go to Mr.
and Mrs. Ideler. The tlck'ets are one
dollar, and may be had from either
Mrs. Swan or Mrs. Crawford.
By today's mall we learn that Mr.
and Mrs. Ideler are to be assisted by
Mr. and Mrs. Royer Noble Burnham,
who will give sketches from tho plays
they have so ably given In Honolulu
recently.
For County Fair
Now that tho Territorial Pair is
over what about that "KAUAI COUN
TY FAIR?" Kauai walked away with
a few prizes from the Territorial
Pair. We have the goods to exhibit
but transportation facilities and land
ings make shipment of high grado
stock a rather precarious undertak
ing from this island. In another year
we should have better shipping faci
lities. Meanwhile the. stimulation- of
better agriculture should be our
motto, bo that next year we can com
pete with tho other Islands In the live
stock exhibits. Now is tho time to
get ready for the next territorial fair.
What about that KAUAl COUNTY
FAIIt? Let us see what those new
Imported race horses can do on the
local race track.

years at Kekaha.
Eight years ago his daughtor was

sudden flood of water across the road
caught tho horse she was rldng and
carried them both to the flood gate
where sho became entangled In the
debris and perished.
A few weeks ago tho wife died,
thus leaving the husband alone In tho
world and discouraged.
His unhappy bereavements no
doubt brought on the melancholia
that ended in suicide. Mr. Manthol
has lived on Kauai for many many
years and his numerous friends re

MAKAWELi
HAPPEN
AT
TERRITORIAL FAIR
Although not strongly represented
In tho live stock ection of tho Terr!
torlal Pair, the island of Kauai was
most strongly represented In the per
sonal exhibits. Kauai people evi
dently do not believe in Bonding live
stock to tho Pair to ropraaent tho Is
land; but prefer much more to go
themselves and put up a good per
sonal appearance for the Island. That
was suro tho case at tho last Territo
rial fair. Kauai was on the parade
in Honolulu, and tho lobby of the
"Young" was apparently tho muster
ing place. Hilo sent an nd-club and
the Hawaiian band wont down to tho
wharf to meet them, and all tho IHio
people wore yellow hat bauds to bo
distinguished from tho others. Kau
ai people needed no band to proceed
them In parade and announce their
coming. They wore so thick around
Honolulu that mere numbers made
them conspicuous. Whoro ever a
crowd gathered it was euro to be
bunch of Kauai citizen discussing tho
county elections or tho cane con
tracts at Kapaa. Tho not labelled
with hat bands there was nothing
obscuro about their identity. Per
sonally Kauai was suro theie.
Lack of live stock exhibits should
not give us a black eye however. Wo
have tho live stock to be sure, but to
ship high grade stock, worth thou
Bands of dollars, Is not such a simple
matter from Kauai. Tho Maul ex
hibitors have no such shipping dim
cultles to contend with as we have
here. The Maul exhibitors aro ship
ped via Kahului where the Claudlne
ties up to the wharf and tho cattle
lead up tho gang plank, lt Is also to
be noticed that Hawaii was not
"there" in the live stock exhibition,
largely on-account of tho s.imo rea
sons, for the big Parker Ranch is far
away from Hilo and good rhipplng
points.
On tho other hand as far as agricul
tural exhibits wero concerned Kauul
did very well getting away with a
several prizes for forago crops and
getting two firsts and several specials
lu the poultry section. Tho firsts In
the poultry section went to birds
owned by Miss L. C. Brewer ot Llhuo.
Sudan Grass raised by H. Brodie of
Hanapopo took a first prizo at the
Pair and had to compete with exhi
bits from Pala plantation, Grove
Ranch and clsewhero. Also two Kau
ai plantations sent up vcryrcdit
able exhibits namely Grovo Farm
Plantation and Makaweli. The Ma
kaweli exhibit demonstrated molass
es burning for potash and on account
of offensive gases given off by the
burning process the exhibit was
placed In an out of the way section
of tho fair grounds whore very few
saw it. Mr. Broadbent of Lihuo also
had au excellent exhibit of cocoanut
products showing the various pro
ducts of tho cocoanut including the
oil, press cake, and residue. This
was the only exhibit of its kind and
somethiug really now. On tho othor
hand Mrs. Broadbent exhibit of Ha
waiian silk that had been raised in
Lihuo was a most attractive exhibit
and actually mado a hit.
Kauai showed up well at tho fair.
There were numerous exhibits from
Kauai, but of courso the competitive
exhibits had to be placed together in
order to compete for prizes and no
labels regarding tho origino of tho
oxhibits were allowed. Tho Maui
homesteaders known as tho Haiku
homesteaders association had a col
lective exhibit, and it is sad that Kau
ai homesteaders could not have had
a similar exhibit, but it should ho
remembered that tho Haiku experi
ment station fosters the Haiku home
steaders' association, and until wo
have an experiment station on this
Island there is littlo possibility ot get
ting much ot a collective exhibit of
diversified farming from our local
homesteaders. Tho fact that Kauai
was so well represented in the num
ber of people visiting tho Pair from
Kauai goes to show that wo want to
be in tho swim in tho big things, but
glvo us un equal chance.

SUMMER
camp
SITE IS POPULAR
Now that the road up Puu ku
Pele has been put in good condi
tion, that wonderful locality is" be
coming very popular as tin outing
ground. In the past month num
erous family parties have made
the trip in their machines and one
and all have returned enthusias
tic in their praise of the place, its
wonderful scenery and invigorat
ing climate.
The trip was recently made
from Lihue to the proposed camp
site in two and a half hours easy
driving with a big car. Mr. and
Mrs. Thos. Hustace and family of
Lihue, made the trip last Sunday,
leaving Lihue about four o'clock
in the morning and arriving at
the camp in time for breakfast.
They intend to take this outing
regularly.
A party composed of Mr. and
Mrs. E. F. Wood, Mr. and Mrs.
Ashton Hogg, of Lihue, and Dr
and Mrs. Glaisyer recently visit
ed the upper regions of the park,
where they have taken lots. This
party stayed over night, coining
back late the next day. Mr. and
Mrs. E. Cheatham and Mr. and
Mrs. B. D. Isreal took their camp
ing outfits and camped for sev
eral days last week in the upper
part of the park, while there they
picked several quarts of fine
thiinbleberries and preserved
them. These berries grow in abun
dance in this locality.
A week ago Sunday twelve ma
chines loaded with pleasure seek
ers made the trip, among wham
were A. D. Hills and party, Mr.
and Mrs. De Spain, and family,
Mr- and Mrs. J. H. Moragne and
family, Mr. and Mrs; Broadbent
and daughter, Mr. Aaser and par
ty, Mr. E. Malilum and party and
others, besides these there was a
numbqr who made the trip on
horseback.
The great and pressing need
now that the people are finding
out what a glorious place this is.
is for a shelter at the camp site,
so that families can go up for
week ends or longer. There is
not the slightest doubt in the
world but whnt-familieji from all
over the island would use the
camp site regularly if a comfort
able and commodious lodges were
built there
It seems that what is necessary
is for somebody to get busy, and
we respectfully suggest that the
joint committee from the Plant
ers Association and the Chamber
of Commerce be that somebody.
Time is passing.
The-flrst case on tho calendar of
this term of tho circuit court, the
Territory Vs Joso A. Martins, wont to

verdict of guilty with a recommenda

court fined tho defondont $1.00. 1
