A. C. MEETS TO START BALL SEASON As announced Inst week, a meeting of tho Kauai Athletic Association was hold at tho Llhuo Court House on Sat urday evening. Representatives from Lihuc, Kapaa, McBrydo and Koloa wcro present, but Makaweli and Ki lauea were not represented. In the absence of Secretary Mnrcallino, G. M Shak, of Kapaa, was appointed sec retary pro tern. Tho following officers wcro elected to serve for the coming year: H. D. Wishard, president; II, Tilly, vice president; A. Q. Marcalllno, secretary, and C. Kuhlmann, treasurer. Mr. Tilly, representing McBrydo, in formed tho association that their team would not be able to enter tho leaguo I it transportation conditions were to be tho same this year as last, as the McBrydo management had decided that tho long overland Journey to 'Ka paa or Kilauca was too far for their team, and suggested that If four games were scheduled between these teams, that each team make a single trip to the grounds of their oppon cuts and play tho other two in Lihuo. " This matter was left to be decided at tho next meeting to bo held Thursday night. Another suggestion of Mr. Tilly's was to have two leagues this year in stead of one, teams from Koloa to Ko Kana to form one league and teams frrom Lihuo to Hanalci to form an uinur. uonsiueraoie uiscussion was held on tho subject, but as those pres ent seemed to favor ono league for tho whole island, Mr. Chas. Fern mov ed that tho association go on record to this effect. His motion was unani mously carried, with the proviso that notice bo givon to every community or organization on Kauai which may wish to enter a team in the league, to send two representatives to the next meeting. The association will consider the applications of tho now teams at this time. Mr. K. C. Hopper then informed the' association that gambling on tho games last year was done openly on all tho parks, and suggested that steps be taken to curb this growing evil, if not to entirely eliminate it. Dr. A. H. Waterhouso and Mr. Tilly also gave their views in this regard, and the secretary was instructed to draw up a resolution urging tho sheriff of tho County of Kauai to suppress gamb ling on all league games this year and hereafter. The subject of bringing a toim to Kauai during the 4th of July was con sidered, but as it was believed that the American Legion was planning to use Waipouli during this time, it might not bo advisablo to bring a team this year. In order that tho matter might bo settled, however, Mr. Fern was Instructed to roport on tho plans of the Legion at the next meet Ing. AN "APRIL FOOL" JOKE somououy on tnis island, with a peculiar sense of humor (?) played an April fool joke on Mrs. George K. Bruns of Honolulu, by sending her a wireless message that her brother Willie Akana, of Kilauea Plantation had been killed in an automobile accident. Tho rumor got circulated over tho Island Friday evening and it was not until tho next morning that it was learned that "it was only an April fool Joko", and that Willio was enjoy ing tho best of health and had not been in an accident at all. PASEDALL LEAGUE MEETING There .will bo a meeting of the Kauai Athletic Association at the County Building next Thursday even ing, April 7th, at 7:30 Honolulu time, for tho purpose of making final ar rangements for tho coming baseball series.

Arj Mi&s Saraji happens to bo the only child in the Saraji family Just now. Mr. Yamamoto and his bride will hence' forth be known in this world as Mr. and Mrs. Saraji instead of Mr. and Mrs. Yamamoto. Edward C. Liu, Wallua homesteader and formerly of Honolulu, was the target of one of tho writers of those famous "Spanish Prisoner" letters last week. Tho letter was addressed to him at his former address in Hono- lulu and forwarded to Kanaa. and is an exact duplicate of tho letter re- xnivmi hv t?.-!i,mo t .nv nt nnnninii, V- w 4 I -t J 4- 1 Uli V I J KJ L 44UUIIUIU and described in detail by tho Hono- lulu Star-Bulletin of Saturday, March 20th, 1921.

Mr. and Mrs. Gavlord Wilcox and two children leavo on the Klnau to- day after a week or so spent on Kauai partly in Lihuo and partly in Hana- lei. Their mother, Mrs. A. S.

C, Ahana says that he has received word that a ru mor is being circulated to the effect that he would not be a candidate for re-election -at tho coming county el ectlons. "This rumor", ho states, "Is absolutely without foundation. I be liovo I havo given satisfaction as treasurer of tho county, and I most certainly intend to run for re-election. :: Mr. A. Louisson, travelling sales man for Jas. Schwartz Honolulu, is making a business tour of Kauai in the interest of his firm. He arrived on the Klnau this morning. THE new 750 kilowatt turbine generator furnished by the General Electric Co. that has pust boon Installed by the Llhuo Plant ation Company for tho electrification of their mill. ELECTRIFICA 7 iUV Qf LIHUE MILL A few davs ago Liinue x-.uuuiuuu - , , .,,. a11 PenIns df' wl?e!1 8tartcu up a "BW "T" , , " ectrlc generator which will hence forth furnish most f tlle Pwor tor UlClr mill. BOVer.U yiuuill.cui. plo of Lihuo wero there for tho in teresting occasion A Wonderful Piece of Machinery This new installation is a 750 kilo watt.-equivalcnt to 1000 horse power, turbine generator, iumisncu uy u.o General Electric Company of New York. It arrived here set up, m a case about tho stzo of a freight car, and weighing 18 tons, tho biggest heavy-weight probably that was ever handled hero In one piece. Even for the uninitiated '.ayman it is a beautiful piece of machinery, and the more wonderful perhaps because he understands It so vaguely. A Mighty Whirlwind The turbine on the steam end con sists of a 4 foot wheel on the rim of which are set a series of small bronze buckets, several hundred In number, against which tho steam im pacts with great force driving the wheel at a speed of some dMU rcvo lutions.- To get as mucn as possiuio out of this steam It passes from tho first wheel to a second of the same kind. It then returns to tho mill as exhaust, to render furthed efficient aorvlco for evaporating purposes in " - the various pans. An 8 inch pipe brings the live steam to the turbine while a 20 Inch returns the exhaust to tho mill. The Uncanny Intelligence of Governors There are very few Ingenious auto- matlc governors which elicit the ad miration and wonder of tho visitor in proportion as he more or less vaguely begins to understand them. Suffice to say that the main one is a hy draulic control governor operated by oil, which regulates the speed and tho power very sensitively, to the load, Like a sleepless watchman, never off the job for an instant, and with a wis- dom and intelligence tnai arc posimo ly uncanny, It keeps its finger on tho supply valve, constantly manipulating THE NEW WAILUA BRIDGE COMPLETED With a great demonstration of blowing whistles and cheering work men the last bucket of concrete went into tho Waialua Hallway Bridge on Thursday afternoon. It was a phemomenal feat of bridge construct ion to pour tho whole bridge 345 feet inside of a month, including tho build ing of tho forms. The construction wnrif is nmv finishml. but the bridce will have to stand for two or three weeks to settle and harden beforo removing the false work about it. Mr. Hartmann, tho constructing en gineer, has undertaken tho Job of putting in tho concrete foundation for the new Kealia hydro-olcctrlc plant, which will fill in tho Interim beforo cleaning up tho bridge. :: AN ESSENTIAL FEATURE Tho poster for tho play "Mr. Bob" tllilt is Placed in front ot tho Ijlhll store office, is a very good one. Tho yacht sailing on tho blue sea, tho latticed windows in the foreground all show somo fine points to bo brought out in the play. That boat means worlds to Mr. Bob whether of joy and hopo or of sorrow we leavo our audience to find out April 30th. "Buster" Hopper is tho artist and he has displayed no small amount of talent as tho work shows. it to meet the requirements of the changing load. And If an impertin ent hand "butts in" and upsets the balance for a minute it smites back with tho stern promptness of a repri mand, as much as to say "You fool! You'd wreck the Universe!" In addition to this there Is an er mergency governor always ready in case the regular one goes off duty for any reason. The moment tho speed runs up over a certain danger point, this emergency control snaps tho steam off instantly and tho machine stops dead. Under ordinary circumstances this does not happen once in a liic time, but when it does this governor prevents a wreck, and justifies its watchful waiting. A WELL MATCHED TEAM This steam system will be run in conjunction with the Hydro-Electric plant at Waiahi tho two plants being synchronized very ingeniously, like a well matched team keeping exact step and time together. This is the more intereating because it Is the case of a Clydesdale working with a Shetland pony. The steam plant has about three times tho capacity of the Hydro- Electric. The Latest. Advance In Milling The electrification of sugar mills is the latest advance in milling, and in this as in other respects, Lihuo Is in the forefront of mill construction and efficiency. By thus centralizing tho power, and applying it electrically wherever needed, there is a saving In fuel consumption of about IS percent beside which there is a great economy of space, wear and tear, cleanliness, and convenience of operation. All the vaarlous power requirements in tho mill, save only the crushing plant, will bo met by this combined electric in stallation. The Men Behlnd It M. A. Hinrlchs, erecting expert for the General Electric Company, came down from tho Coast especially to in stall tho machine. Ho is a past-mast er in his lino. The Lihue electrical engineer, J. H. Hall, put in the foundations, erected tho building and has had general charge of tho construction. Ho is justly proud of his infant prodigy which is one of the largest and most efficient in tho Islands THE POLITICAL POT IS BEGINNING TO BOIL The first signs of political activity in the coming County election, was tho announcement of Judgo Lylo A. Dickey last Saturday that his hat was in the ring and that ho was out for the office of County Attorney. A G. Kaulukou has also chucked his hat in and is running for the same office. The present incumbent, S. K. Kaeo, is also in tho field for reelection. This is bound to bo a battle royal, as all three candidates will have strong support. EASTWARD BOUND Mrs. J. K.
