matter all settled to their own satis

. SOCCER MEETTING AT KOLOA
Tho KaunI soccer league held a
meeting at Koloa last Thursday even
ing, to discuss tho matter of sending
an AU-Kanai team jto Honolulu to
compete for tho C. C. Kenedy cup, at
present heldvby the Honoulu team.
After a thcrough discussion of tho
- matter It was finally decided to post
pone tho matter until the 4th of July,
whon a game" will Jry to be arranged
for.
The matter of the LihUe-Kawaihau
game that should have boon played
week before last, but wasn't, was dls
9 cussed.
Llhue reprcsentatves stated that
they visited Kapaa on the day of the
.game and found that the grounds were
In no condltlou-to be played upon, aa
returned to Lihue and later attended
the game between Makawcll and Mc
Bryde: Kawalhau members stated that at
time game should have been called
at Kapaa the grounds had been put
Into condition and that tho Kawalhau
team was ready to play. Tho mem
bors from McBryde held that, as Li
hue was not present when tho hour
for the game arrived, they therefore
forfeited the game. Tho majority of
the members present, howover, ruled
that the game should be played the
. following (last) Sunday. It was . so
decided.
A matter brought by the exchange
of letters betwoen President Dam
kroger and Father Hubert, managor
of the Kawihau team, regarding the
unsportsmanlike conduct of Kapaa
fans on the day of the Makaweli-Ka-walhau
game, was thrashed out, and
it was decided to drop the whole
matter and forget It.

Mr. Morgan comes from The Peo
a Pie's Bank, of Hilo, where he has been

THE FLU AT HANALEI
"The flu" situation in Hanaleii is
being efficiently handled by Miss
Springer, the Board of Health nurse
that came, down from Honolulu for
that purpose. There are about 27 cases
at the present time. The patients re
main in their own homes, and Miss
Springer makes daily visitations to
them, and taking them proper and
nourishing foods and generally caring
for them as well as instructing the
families in many useful things. The
people are very fond of .her and will
ing to cooporate in every way. She has
been a veritable ministering angel to

plying them with an abundance of
eggs and. Mrs. Sanborn has given milk

THE PUUKAPELE ROAD
Mr. Moragno has been spending a
good deal of time during the last two
or three weeks blocking out tho new
Puukapelo road. He finds that the
difficulties are mainly on tho makal
half of it, and ho proposes that the
$30,000 appropriation bo spent there,
on the first eight miles or so.
It is on this section that the grades
are excessive, but by making detours,
grades of from six to twelve per cent
can bo secured. - '
Tho new location will strike the
brink of tho valley much sooner than
the present ono does, and at a partic
ularly fortunate place which gives one
of tho very finest vlows of tho whole
region.
By careful economy he hopes to
have enough money to do consider
able macadamizing at the lower end.

who are attending the Centennial, will
not return until then.
"School will open on the morning
