Tho Legion's steer tying contest is
beginning to nssumo a territorial
wide aspect since Senator Harold
Rico of Maul asked the permission
ot the committee to enter one o
his cowboys in- the Legion's contest
on Armistice Day. The committee
readily gave their permission and
Senator Rice, states that he is out

tying to make up tor the defeat In
baseball that they suffered at the
hands ot Kauai In the recent tourna
ment in Honolulu.
The Legion also announced that
any cowboy in tho terriotry is eligi
ble to enter their tournament and
they are particularly anxious to get
as many outside entries as possible.
The Legion will give no guarantees
as to expenses but will guarantee ev
ery entry an equal .chance at the
prize money.
The announcement that Maui will

In doing so.

racing committee, has announced the

Haoles Vote on
Racial Lines Says
Jimmy Hamada
JAPANESE CANDIDATE FOR THE
HOUSE BLAMES HAOLES
FOR DEFEAT
'When you enter politics don't you
ever say any high sounding things in
an attempt to get tho haolo votes, i
tried it but got no encouragement.
Tho haoles will vote for haoles no
matter what you say and what your
Issue is."
This is tho advice of James T. Ha
mada, unsuccessful candidate for the
house of representatives, gives to his
friends who are contemplating to en
ter politics, says tho Nippo Jlji.
'Ono of the greatest mistakes I
made," Hamada writes to ono of his
friends, "was that I talked about
giving adequate appropriation for
public school purposes and American
ization and about the dependability
ot citizens of Japanese race with a
view to getting haole votes."
Mr. Hamada adds that the official
returns, received afterwards said
that he received 2G7 votes.
Mr. Hnmada's letter in part fol
lows:
Senator Kealoha Supports
"I ran for the house of represen
tatives. At first I thought I would
enter the race just for the fun and
experience and I did so at the promp
ting of an eleventh hour urge, nut
once I got the support of a powerful
Garden Island politician, Senator Ke
aloha, I worked in dead earnest, but
In spite of all wo could do, I got
only 279 votes.
"At that I think it was a good
showing when considered in tho light
of the following handicaps:
"1. I was practically a stranger to
Kauai, having been away in Hono
lulu almost ten years.
"2. I was now In the political game
and didn't know tho tricks.
"3. I was knifed In tho dark by
the Hawaiian Civic Club clique.
"4. Down in Waimea side the cam
paign ot "No Japs in tho legislature
this time," had gained considerable
headway.
"Knifed by Civic Club Clique
"In Waimea, Deputy Sheriff Cro-
well, the whole cheese ot the civic
club clique, had his forces well or
ganized against me. Ho had even
urged the Japaneso boys not to sup
port me. On election day ho had his
bunch of policemen lined up, but
in spite of nil that this czar of Wai
mea could do, I mado a good show
ing there, getting 38 votes, about
25 of which were Japanese.
Received 71 Llhue Votes
"In Lihue I got 71 votes, about
half of which were from votes oth
er than Japanese.
"In my home precinct I got only
S8 votes, and if I had mado a thor
ough campaign here I might have
gotten between 150 and 200 votes.
As it was, I followed tho advice ot
friends and got only SS votes. Of
this number about 15 were Japanese
votes."
BOARD OF HEALTH
DISCUSS KOKEE CAMPS
Dr. Trotter, at tho board of health,
told tho members of the board that
tho Kokoo camps were on tho water
shed that supplied tho town of Wai
mea and that the camps should bo
abandoned, according to tho Adver
ser ot October 17th.
Tho board has certain requirements
in regard to tho cesspools at Kokee
and one Instance was cited whore
the requirements were not met with.
Tho board refused to mako any ex
ception In this case when petitioned
to do so by C. S. Judd.
Several years ago this same dis
cussion was brought up and a sani
tary cleanup was made at Kokee
by Frank Cook, representing tho
board of health. Tho requirements
were drawn up at that time and with
possibly one exception they have
been obeyed.
Apparently no action was taken
by the board on Dr. Trotter's sug
gestion and whether or not any will
be taken Is not known.

road In which to pass, but ho seem
ed to drive straight toward her and
his right hand front fender struck
her and knocked her into the gut
ter. I stopped my car as soon as
I passed. Kaeo had stopped, too,
and I said: 'Sam, didn't you see
that lady right in front of you?
what did you run into her for?'
Kaeo said: "Don't say anything
about It, it was all my fault.' "
Mrs. Clapper was knocked Into the

Big Crowd Marks
Chamber Meeting
Waimea Gathering Is the Dlggest
Since the Breakwater
Celebration
MAJ. JOHNSON PRESENTS DATA
Senator John Wise and Lewis
Jackson Also Address the
Meeting
Tho regular mooting of tho Knual
Chamber of Commerce held at Wai
mea last Thursday evening was ono
of tho biggest and best sessions
that the chamber has held in many
a moon.
The dining room of tho Waimea
hotel was crowded to capacity and
It was necessary to put In two ex
tra tables to handle the overflow
crowd.
Tho guests of tho evening wero
Major W. A. Johnson of tho U. S.
Engineers; John Wise, Republican
nominee for delegate to congress,
and John C. Lane,, high sheriff for
tho territory.
Tho chamber held a short busi
ness session at which tho chamber
voted unanimously to extend the best
wishes of tho body to J. M. Lyd-
gate for a speedy recovery and tho
secretary was instructed to say It
with flowers.
Major Johnson and John Wlso
were elected honorary members of
the chamber unanimously.
After the business session, Presi
dent Sloggett Introduced Major W.
A. Johnson, who spoke to tho cham
ber on the Nawlllwill breakwater.
Major Johnson first sketched a
brief history, telling ot the various
surveys that wero mndo on Kauai
to determine tho host location for
a harbor and the final selection of
Nawlllwill. He then outlined a few of
tho problems that confronted the
engineors in .their work, especially
In regard to tho quarrying ot tho v
big rock for tho breakwater. Ho
told tho chamber that Kauai was
fortunate In finding their rock closo
at hand, as on tho breakwaters In
tho Islands it bad been necessary
to haul the rock many miles, great
ly adding to the expenso of tho pro
ject. Major Johnson then spoko briefly
on tho financial end, stating that
the original appropriation ot $450,
000, part of which was appropriated
by tho territory and the rest by tho
federal government, would last un
til tho middle of next April. Ho then
said that tho now appropriation,
which would como in tho new riv
ers and harbors bill, would rest
with tho chief of engineers, as un
der tho new system In rivers nnd
harbor work, a lump sum Is appro
priated and tho expending ot this
sum is left to tho chief of engi
neers. Major Johnson stated that ho
had no doubt that thero would bo
money available for the work as tho
chief of engineers had stated that
It was tho deslro of that offico to
carry on tho work continuously ow
ing to great expenses that is add
ed to any construction work that
Is shut down for a period and then
reopened.
Tho harbor when completed, ac
cording to Major Johnson will bo
slightly bigger than Honolulu harbor
and will bo dredged to a depth ot
35 feet. Mr. Johnson warned tho
chamber that in planning tho har
bor to bo sure to work out tho
problem In full in regard to tho ul
timate result. Ho urged them to In
clude railroad terminal facilities lu
tho harbor work and showed whoro
In tho construction ot Honolulu har
bor this Idea had not bocn carried
out and thero was sovcral piers
In tho harbor whoro there wero no
railroad and this occasioned con
siderable expenso In tho handling
of freight.
He nlso urged that tho chamber
use Its influence with tho board ot
harbor commissioners In tho placing
of tho bulkhead lines so that they
will be placed by the tlmo tho feder
al government is ready to dredgo tho
harbor so that tho debris from tho
harbor can bo used In building up
land behind tho bulkheads. Ho stat
ed that tho government would not
bo ready to consider dredging for
at lenst a year.
Actual progress on tho breakwater
was his next topic nnd ho stated
thero Is C27 foot completed which
Included tho railroad approach to
tho breakwater. Tho rato of con
struction averages about 40 feet a
