POI SUPPER
AND DANCE
Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Stewart
entertained with a poi supper and
dance Friday evening in honor of
Allen 0. Wilcox just returned
from France
The supper was-nt the Tip Top
.banquet hall and the dance fol
lowing it at the Social Hall.
The supper was' of the finest
quality of Hawaiian culinary arl
with dainties that in the olden
time only royalty and the high
chiefs enjoyed.
The music by the string band,
crisp and virile, haTl yet all it
could do to hold its own against
the buzz of aminated conversa
tion. Following the supper , the
guests adjourned, to the hull' for
1he dance which kept up till a
late hour7 and was greatly enjoy
ed by all present, as one of the
pleasantest and most congenial
n (Fairs for a long time.
Both the supper room and the
hall were beautifully decorated
for the occasion. There were
some forty-eight guests includ
ing several visitors from Hono
lulu. :o:
Secretary of A. M. A. Here
j
Dr. and Mrs. Cady arrived by
the Milium Lon in company with
Hev. H. 1 Judd, to look over the
Island and familiarize himself
somewhat with the work of the
Hawaiian Board here.
Dr. Cady is one of the field
secretaries of the American Mis
sionary Association with head
quarters at New York. This as
sociation devotes its energies and
resources to backward races in
America- and so takes an inter
est in the various backward races
that we have in our midst here,
and has made very generous ap
propriations toward their enlight
enment. Naturally Dr. Cady is
interested in our problems aud
the solution of them.
He has been secured to (ill the
place of Dr. Palmer at Jhe Cen
tral Union Church during the
period of his visit here, and dur
ing available intervals he will vi
sit the outer Islands and famil
iarize himself with the conditions
there.
no preached on Sunday at the
Lihue Union Church, very much
to the edification and inspiration
of the audience.
NEW ELEMENT -
.Toe Comes of Hanapepe is con
templating buying out the haul
ing and transportation depart
ment of the Nawiliwili garage.
Mr. Gomes rv.is an extensive
hauling and rent service business
at Hanapepe at ihe present time
and by contemplated -leal 'vth
the Nawiliwili Garage he would
practically control the hauling or
trucking business on Kauai as it
stands today.
The Nawiliwili Garage has of
fered him the complete array of
trucks and junk that at present
occupy the greater part of the
parking space at Nawiliwili. The
worst of the bargain is that if
Gomes buys the entire outfit he
will not take the eyesore away
but intends to maintain the head
quarters for his future hauling
business at the same location
now occupied by the Nawiliwili
junk pile.

FOR WELFARE WORK
Clinton S. Childs of New York
is with us to look into the possi
bilities of further welfare work
on the Kauai plantations and to
learn from Kauai some of the
good things already accomplish
ed in that line.
Mr. Childs occupied a seat of
honor oufie bench beside Judge
Hjorth in the Lihue District
Court yesterday, and enjoyed
proceedings, evidently taking
copious mental notes of the new
forms of life presented to him.
We bespeak for Mr. Childs,
who is of a pleasant personality,
the hearty cooperation of all
those concerned.
Personals
F. Hutch, bookkeeper at Hana
maulu, has resigned and will soon
take his departure.
F. Mahn, Jr., assistant book

I. K. Cockctt former manager
of the Nawiliwili garage severed
his connections with the garage
yesterday to manage the Asahi
Soda Works of Koloa in which he
is interested. I
NvEarlo Bowen, civil engineer
for the Lihue Plantation, who
last wek 'underwent an operation
in the Lihue hospital, is about
again attending' to his duties,
sonjewhat lighter in weight.
W. C. Avery former principal
of the Kauai High School has
been made secretary of the Farm

$.100 a month. A good man lost
to the cause of education. We
congratulate him !
Jack Hjorth, the oldest son of
Judge Hjorth of the Lihue Dis
thrict. Court arrived today to vi
sit with his father. Master Jack
shines in natatorial stunts and
will unquestionably prove a sur
prise to his many friends, who
knew him when a youngster
Jack may spend his vacation in
the Lihue mill improving himself
for the future arduous years of
life.
Deputy Sheriff Crowell of Wai
mea, made a notable find at Ha
napepe on Saturday evening, on
the premises of one Ah You, of
Celestial extraction,--to wit some
500 gallons of mash in the pro
cess of moonshine distillation.
It was late at night, and Ah You
declined to receive any visitors,
so the raiding force had to break
open the door. Ah You tried to
conceal himself under the bed,
but in vain. He is now out on
bail, awaiting an early trial.
After Many Years
The surrender of Mr. H. Roll
rig of the management of the Li
hue Store takes from a very prom
inent and responsible position in
the community a man who has,
during a dozen years or so, given
most excellent satisfaction. One
has only to think back and recall
the old shacks that were there
when he took hold, and compare
them with the line store there
now to realize how progressive
and capable he has been. And
the store, with all its well equip
ped departments, is not the whole
of it, the Tip Top building across
the way is in keeping, and both
are a great credit to the commu
nity. The foresight and the effi
ciency that produced these insti
tutions deserve recognition.
Personally both Mr. jind Mrs.
Itohrig have commended them
selves almost universally to the
community by their uniform
courtesy, intelligence and public
spirit; they have done much to
advance the interests of the com
munity and their service will not
be forgotten.
A Near Tragedy
The other day a lady driving
very carefully and very slowly
down the Storehill narrowly es
caped being involved in a serious
tragedy. A little child ran out
from one of the yards near by,
ran across the road in front of
her car, suddenly turned and ran
back, and then by some sudden
change of mind crossed back
again. Meanwhile the lady driv
er had applied the brakes and
brought the car practically to a
stand-still with the chd so close
that she could not see him hid in
under the radiator. It is a dan
gerous place with so much traffic
and a heavy grade, and irrespon
sible children should not he turn
ed loose there.

REGULAR IEIIIS OF
CHAMBER OF C0HES1CE
The regular June meeting of
the Kauai Chuiubeiyif Commerce
was held in Lihue Monday after
noon June '!(), at "p. m. with the
president in the chair.
As to Kohee J'entats
Under the head of reports of
committees Mr. Brodie placed
before the Chamber the corres
pondence between the special
commit fee on camp sites and thu
Board of Agriculture and Foies
try, in which the committee in
quired if the reduced rentals were
to apply only to the new appli
cants, and not to the older occu
pants, with improved lots. In
the opinion of (he committee tin's
was an unfair discrimination
against the older occupants, who
had done much to open up the
country there in the way of mak
ing roads, trails, etc.
In reply the board of agricul
ture and forestry made the fol
lowing concession. The improv
ed camping sites are to pay six
per cent on the estimated value
of the improvements in addition
to the regular rental charge of
ten dollars, and the improve
ments must be kept up.
After some more or less de
sultory discussion this decision
was accepted as final, and fairly
satisfactory.
As to MvCleUun's Services
The secretary read the report
of the special committee appoint
ed to solicit hinds for the remu
neration of Geo. McClellan for
his services in our behalf, in
Washington.
The substance of- the report
was to the elfeet that the Hono
lulu Chamber of Commerce had
allowed certain restrictions to go
into the appropriation for the
Nawiliwili breakwater which are
prejudicial to the interests of
Kauai from which it was very
evident that McClellan was not
working for us but for them.
Under these circumstances the
committee did not see its way to
solicit funds for the benefit of the
Honolulu Chamber.
The report was accepted and
approved by the Chamber, and
the secretary was instructed to
report this action to the Honolulu
Chamber of Commerce, and, send
them a ropy of the commit lee's
report.
Ulue Sky Law to Hawaii
Judge Dickey reported, for the
special committee appointed to
urge the passage of Blue Sky
Laws, that the commit tee had
taken such energetic and timely
action in 'the matter that such a
law had been passed. While a
bill of this nature had been in
troduced early in the season it
was buried in committee, and
would probably have remained
(here had it not been for the time
ly action of the ICauai committee.
The law he believed, was a verj
good one, and would prove quite
effective. The crucial point of
the law was lha't any investment
put on the market must hear the
stamp of approval of the invest
ments commission, made up of
the Treasurer, the Attorney Gen
eral and the Auditor of the Ter
ritory. This verbal report was accept
ed, and the thanks of (he Cham
ber tendered to the committee for
the good work done.
Mom Steamers Wanted.
Mr. Mahlum complained of the
insufficient and unsatisfactory
passenger service thatwas given
by the Inter-Island these days.
The Milium Loa had been convert
ed into a sort of a gasolene
tramp, and what between bring
ing down .gasolene and taking
back empties, she was not avail
able for passengers much of the
time. There was alwavs a con
gestion of travel during thej
summer mouths, and this year iti
was worse than usual. The ki
nan wasn't equal to the require
ments, and some additional
means of passenger travel should
be found.
The matter was referred to the
transportation committee.
The Circuit Court .ludyeship
There was considerable lively
dhsrussion as to the runioiel
nrosnoctivc aimoinlininif of Win
Achi a promising young lawyer
of Honolulu to succeed Judge
Dickey, whose term of office ex
pired some time ago.
There was a very unanimous
desire for retention of Jude
Dickey as over against any new
man ; failing this, some favored
an older and more experienced
man than Achi, ami the name f
Judge Hanks w.is suggested. Af
ter some considerable discussion
which brought out ery favorably
the qualifications of Achi, it wan
finally concluded not to take any
action, on tie bus's oflitlin;;
''sleeping dogs lie" with the ur
gent hope that Judge Dickey's
(enure might he allowed o run
on indefinitcly.
S it miner Camp Xot Yet
In response to a question in re
gard to the summer cam) equip
ment at Pun ka Pele, Mr. Wish
ard explained, that the Kauai
Planters' Association had the
matter in hand, and while they
regauled the matter very favor
ably, (hey had not as yet taken
any final action in the matter. It
is evident however, (hat such a
camp will scarcely he ready for
oi euputiou this summer.

The First Commencement
The first graduating class oT
the Kauai High School was
launched on the sea of life on
Friday evening at the Tip Top.
with appropriate exercises, aud
the awarding of diplomas; and as
an interesting and successful
academic occasion set a high
level that future classes will do
well to heat.
The brief orations that were
delivered by the various members
of the class were intelligent,
though! ful and well put. It
would he difficult to choose be
tween (hem, but (he one which
seemed to win the most popular
favor was that by Suekichi Uye
da on "Our Flag," which was
greeted with frequent applause,
not all due to the patriotic sub
ject by any means.
The class prophecy very aptly
and wittily hit oil the charac
teristics and ear marks of the va
rious members of (he class, and
wi received with much favor, es
pecially by those who knew them
well.
The vocal music, especially the
choral singing, was excellent, and
came as a suvpnso lo most peo
ple, who didn't know they had it
in them, and does great credit to
the instruction and training of
Mrs. Carter, especially consider
ing the limited time in which i(
was done.
In presenting the diplomlis,
Mr. McClusky, the principal,
gave the class some very wise last
injunctions, forcibly put, which
they will do well to remember
ami carry out.
The graduating class present
ed a fine eight day clock to the
school as their parting contribu
tion to its well-being.
The stage was most tastefully
and effectively decorated in the
class colors, white and crimson,
with generous backgrounds of
green.
The school commissioner, the
supervising principal and the
High School faculty graced the
occasion with (heir presence on
the stage.

FAIimVtiU, DIXXKIt
Monday evening at (he Tip Top
the employes of (he Lihue and
Ilanamaiilii stores gave a fare
well banquet to "Mr. 11. Itohrig,
during which (hey expressed their
very high appreciation of him as
a friend and employer, with
whom they had always enjoyed
the very pleasantest ' relations.
They assured him that their very
best wishes went with him wher
ever he might go and they would
always remember him with the
very kindest good will. There

Newspapermen Enjoys
Visit to Big Ravine
.Joseph Howard Gray, eityedu
or of the Pacific Commercial Ad
ertiser, and Michael .lav, uur
mobile editor of (he llonohu.i
litar-Bullelin, who spent the week
just past on this island returned
to Oahu last Saturday. During
their visit they were taken to Wiii
mea Canyon, the barking sands of
Mann. Kukuilouo park, and liana
lei. On their departure, both ex
pressed theineslves as highly grat
ified at having seen the Waimea
Canyon which they declared was
one of the greatest undeveloped
assets of this island.
"I have seen (he Grand Canyon
of (he Colorado." remarked Mr.
Gray, "and while I missed (lie
purple colors here I found every
thing else in the Waimea Canyon
that the other gorge possess."
Mr. Jay was also struck with
the color panorama pieseuled by
the canyon and commented favor
ably on the fact that Waimea can
yon had the advantage over the
canyon on the mainland in that
one could see the broad Pacific
ocean as well as the scenic wonder
from the vantage point of Pun ka
Pele, the point selected as the
sight for the community rest
or camp house.
"Kauai in preparing a rest
house at Pun ka Pele is tak
ing a step in the right direction,"
added Mr. Jay. "With such a
place foj; visitors to look forward
to, the (rip up the mountain road
will be pleasant indeed."
Iioth newspapermen declared
that Kauai while known as the
Garden Island could also lay a
strong claim to being a real Isle
of Hospitality. Po(h scribes de
clared that they had been royally
entertained during their stay and
that (heir holiday here had been
pleasant throughout. In conclu
sion both declared that they would
ever retain a fond aloha for the
Garden Isle and its residents.
