AHUKINI LANDING
WILL 60 FORWARD
Mr. O. A. Rice, managing dir
' "ector of the Ahukini Terniinal &
Bailway Company, this morning
stated that there wns( absolutely
no foundation to the report that

been halted. "As a matter of
fact, the work is going right a
head and it is expected that the
landing will be completed by July
1st of this year," said Mr. Kice.
"The only change in the original
. plans of the company is in the
, reduction of the length of the
. wharf from "400 feet to 250 feet."
, Mr; Rice stated that the Matson

1 PUHI NOTES
The playground is the center of
Interest on pleasant afternoons. The
older boys have organized a volley
ball team, o tilers play "indoor" while
the youngest enjoy circle games.
Croquet has recently been Intro
duced, particularly for the older girls,
but the boys have found it interesting
enough to now b.nd then desert tho
volley ball court. However, when
the novelty is over, they will probably
' find ball a better outlet for energy.
The Puhl Girls' Club is interested
in basket making and the membors
are turning out somo attractive as
well as useful products.
Rug making promises to become
popular among tho married women,
and this branch of handwork has
great possibilities.
It is proposed to form a Grove
Farm Athletic Association and a
meeting will, be held at the Puhl
social hall on Thursday evening, Jan.
20th. All young men employed or
living on this plantation aro urged to
come to the meeting and help make
the association a success.
A neighborhood sociable was hold
In tho hall on Saturday night and a'
few hours of games and music enjoy
ed. A number of newly arrived Filipinos
have among them several players of
stringed instruments, and athletes'.
These should help on tho good times.

TRUCK OVER BANK;
T
Last Friday afternoon a Grove
FlU'in (ruck driven by Ivapahu
Kauakahi became unmanageable
and ran over 'the grade going up
the Nawiliwili hill", turned- com
pletely over and lauded right side
in tin! road below, with the
engine still running.
When Kauakahi Wi)iH picked up
it was seen that his leg wus.bro
ken above the knee. lie was
taken to the hospital where the
break was shown lo be a severe
one the bones being badly crush
cd. Dr. Kuhns, however, hopes
to save the leg.
KAPAA NOTES
The Farmers defeated tho Allies by
the score of 4-1 in the first game of
a two out of threo series to decide the
championship of tho Winter League
The contest was staged at Waipoull, as
the Kapaa grounds was too muddy.
Another Ford car belonging" to con
tractor Kawana met- with an accident
at tho first Kapaa bridge on Saturday.
The first accident occurred several
weeks ago when someone stole his car
and smashed it to pieces on the same
bridge. The last car to got smashed
was until recently the property of J:
M. Kaneakua, County Clerk.
On Wednesday morning tho Kapa,a
bridge had several foot of earth wash
ed away from the Kapaa sldp, duo to
an unusual volumo of rain water which
had collected in the cane fields and
marshes above It. The heavy concrete
structure, however, managed to let the
water through without any further
damage.
Fishes were rather plentiful last
week that is, tho river variety. Tho
overflow of tho various streams and
ditches gave many of the inhabitants
of the deep an unusual opportunity to
wander into unknown lands, with the
result that tho receding flood wators
found tfiem in tho cano fields, rice
fields and other mud holes ready to bo
gathered in without, effort.
The new building of the Bank of
Kauai, Ltd., which will contain two
stores and a dentist's office, will be
ready for occupation about tho 15th of
Fobruary. Electrical wiring has been
completed and painting will soon be
commenced.
Old Sol appeared from behind tho
clouds In all his glory for tho first time
on Thursday after an absence of moro
than a week. His reappearance was
certainly welcome, as all the house
wives had already began to kick be-
cause of lack of sun heat to dry the
family washing.
E. Liu, Klon Soong and Young Lum,
Wailua homesteaders, returned from
Honolulu last week after spending tho
holidays there. Condition of the roads
in Wailua as the result of tho recent
heavy rains, however, caused local rent
machines to refuse to travel there for
any monty consideration, but this trio,
not to be daunted, hiked up the seven
or eight miles to their lots and back
again Ihe same dayHo await an oppor-
tunlty to bring thir families home.
Most of the Journey was through mud
which reached' to their ankles.
A NOTABLE BANQUET
Herbert Hoover, the originator of
the European Relief fund for starving
and destltuto children, gave a dinner
in Now York recently, at which soup,
beans, and bread tho articles that
tho relief committee buy for the star
ving children, composed tho bill of
fare. Plates were $1000.00 each and
tho guests felt honored and happy at
having' been invited.

Those of our readers who may not
have given thoir bit toward tho Hoo
ver Fund havo six days left In which
to climb up on th6 wagon and help
on tho good work of saving somo
starving child In Europe Ten doll

DR. HAMACHER GOING TO HILO
Dr. Wm. S. Hamacher, Chiropractor,
who has been practising in Lihuo for
the past few months, is leaving this
afternoon for Hilo, Hawaii, where ho
will open offices.
Dr. and Mrs. Hamacher have made
numerous friends during their short
residence in Lihue, who will bo gen
uinely sorry to see them go . This is
another instance of Lihuo losing a
charming couple, on account of not
having housing accomodations.
Dr. Elton B. Jones, of Kapaa, will
take over tho practice of Dr. Hama
cher, and will occupy the same offices
In the Tip Top building, where ho
will be each afternoon.
A MISTAKE
Tho Gardon Island made an error In
last week's issue when it stated that
the Mokihana Club has charge of the
Hoover Fund subscriptions for Kauai.
The Club Is responsible only for tho
East Kauai end of tho Island, Tho
western side of tho Island is being
canvassed by tho good people living
over there.
:o:
Miss Blsstnger is spending a few
days as house guest of -Mrs. SheHey.
Arrived Friday -Work
long and hard overland haul
which would be necessary if Na-
wiliwili landing was used.
"I am very much pleased at the
jv the people are taking hold
and the interest tjiey are showing
i our work," stated Mr. Quinn
j.ist before going aboard the Kinau
Saturday. "We had hardly land
ed when I was approached and
asked if there was anything we
needed that could be" locally pro
duced. I stated that we needed
some piles, for the temporary
wharf. I was given the assurance
that thej would bo immediately
forthcoming."
"The Kukui will be over next
week with supplies and a launch.
Then you will se sonic action out
here in the harbor."
Mr. Quinn finds a great change
in the mouth of the Niunmlu river
since his visit just before the re
cent storm. lie states that when
he made his previous visit a
bridge 100 feet long would have
spanned the river. It will take a
structure. (100, feet long now to
cross the stream.

DESTRUCTION AT'wAINIHA
The recent big storm haB transform
ed the whole face of Hanalei Valley.
At a restricted point in the river
where it makes a sharp turn to tho
West, somo BOO yards aboye tho
bridge, it piled up above the low
banks and swept through tho culti
vated lands and has torn out for It
self an entirely new channel, uniting
with tho main rlvor some distance
below tho brldgo on the public road.
This carves a long slim island out
of the agricultural land of tho" valley
and will necessitate another bridge
of considerable sizo across tho now
channel. That will make three
bridges In tho valley, in within a dis
tance of about 500 yarlls. However
it will distribute tho destructive
power of tho water during violent
storms so that the bridges will bo
moro safe.

EAST
KAUA
DITCH
NEAR
COMPLETION
The East .Kauai Ditch enter
prise is well along toward com
pletion. Most of the tunnels
it is nearly all tunnel are com
pletcd. One long tunnel how
ever of some 1500 feet lacks about
200 feet of the finish, and this
will hold up the opening for some
time, perhaps till April. As active
work was begun in August this is
a remarkably good showing, es
pecially considering the adverse
weather conditions. A godd deal
of rock lias been encountered,
some of it hard. Fortunately,
they have' had. to contend with
very little shelving or caving-in,
which is much more troublesome
than linrd rock; and very little
of it will have to be lined.
The total length will be some
215,000 feet, or foiir and a half
miles.
KEALIA NOTES
The City Council meeting last Tues
