"Some" Advice
Invitations are out for a chowder
supper to be given by the ladies of
the Mokihana Club, on Saturday
evening May 17, on the Niumalu
beach. The ladies have decided
to vary the program of annual en
tertainment this year, feeling that
a change from the usual dance
would be appreciated, hence the
chowder supper. Two-hundred
and fifty plates will be laid and the
event will probably be the largest
of its kind ever held on Kauai. The
various committees are bending
every effort towards the success of
the affair, which is in itself an as
surance of successful results.
THE HOLY GHOST FEAST
The annual feast of the Holy
Ghost which is celebrated in the
various Catholic Churches of the
island, was held in Kapaia last
Saturday night and Sunday, being
well attended. The Lihue band
furnished the music
which added
creatly to the occasion
Next
Sunday the HolyGhost-feast will
be celebrated in Kilauea and Ko-

engaged for Kilauea.

Therefore Present Holders Are
Politely Requested to "Pro
duce The Coin"
According to prettv well ground
ed rumor, the homesteaders of the
famous Kalaheo district arc very
much excited over the prospec
tive actions taken by parties who
advanced money for the improve
ments, and who it seems, took
personal notes as security. Notice
has been served on the occupants.
within the last few clays by the
Trent Trust Co., in whose hands
the notes have been placed for
collection. It is claimed that the
original signers of the notes are
no longer residents of the district,
or at least the most of them have
left, and the question now invol
ed, is. whether or not the present
owners can be compelled to pay
these notes. There is much excite
ment over the affair and there is
likely to be considerable litigation
before a final settlement is reached.
The holdings consist of a large
number of homesteads from live to
fifteen acres in area, which have
in most part been settled by the
dollar-a-day" class which the
McBr.vdc Planation evidently
countenances. The situation is evi
dence of the folly of granting
public land to homesteaders who
have no means of developing it.
Some of these homesteaders have
occupied their lands for nearly five
years, and still cannot pay for the
improvements thereon.
TEACHERS SELECTING
The Board of Education is mail
ing its annual request to the teach
ing force of the Territory, relative
to their choice of positions for the
coming scnooi year, mis is a
consideration which is given the
teachers of no other country and is
contradiction of the prevailing
belief that the commissioners place
the teachers wherever the board
desires. The organization for the
summer school course for teachers
is also shaping itself for immediate
attention.

WILL MAKE NEW ROAD
. Prof. Fitgibbous, the road
building expert has completed the
Koloa wharf road and together
with his outfit and men, passed
through Lihue last Friday en route
to the Hanalei district where a
commencement will be made on
the roads of that enterprising sec
tion as soon as he can get his
machinery i n action. The first
work will probably be started at
the Haena end.
CLUB IS POPULAR
The popularity of the adult
dancing class under the efficient
tutelige of Miss Maud d e

that it contains members Irom as

among the latest to enroll.

May 5, 1613,
E. B. Bridgewater,
Mr.
Lihue, Kauai.
Dear Sir:
I have your letter of the 3rd
inst.. inquiring in regard to the
Kapaa homestead lots. After con
sulting with a number of Kauai
people, it seemed best to put some
of the Kapaa lots up under the
settlement association plan. Some
of the Kauai people suggested a
thousand acres but a less area is
proposed under the advertisement
already made. The rest of the lots,
as you know, are advertised in the
usual way. Each advertisement
permits the withdrawal of the lots
before the selection is made. It is
planned to withdraw from the
general advertisement the lots
advertised unuer the special settle
ment association advertisement in
the near future if the members of
the proposed settlement association
show that they are going to make
good; otherwise, the advertisement
for the settlement association can
be withdrawn or some of the lots
advertised for that association.
The government is anxious to
get a good colony started on the
Kapaa homestead lands and a good
cannerv also. The two seem to go
together. As you know, the govern
ment has leased a small tract of
land to a cannery company with a
condition that it should be planted
in pineapples and that a cannery
should be erected capable of hand
ling the product of a larger area,
and negotiations have been
under way for some time for the
selection of a site for the cannery
OUR NEW COURT HOUSE
The county building begins to
look like a probability at last. As
our readers remember, the former
appropriation of $30,000 was in
sufficient, being less than the bid,
and was therefore out of the ques
tion. However, the legislature has
dealt generously with Kauai, and
with the present $60,000 appro
priation, she will go right
ahead
with her building program, which
when completed, will be a credit
to the surrounding bits of architec
ture which ornaments Lihue. Bids
for the construction of the new
county building will be called for
as soon as the plans are received
from the architect. It is under
stood that the new plans will differ
some what from the former plans.
WAS BIG LUAU
A luau of great magnitude and
attended by hundreds, a m o n g
whom were many from distant
points of the island, was that given
by John Mikalaina on Saturday
night, in honor of the first birth
day anniversary of his little
son. Be sides an abundance
of everv variety of toothsome, luau
delicacies, four pigs and a bullock,
were served.
Mr. Haggeiuan who has been

and the speedy erection o f the
cannery. The cannery people have
desired assurance that some of the
proposed homesteads will be plant
ed immediately in pineapples and
accordingly a few of the lots have
been advertised under the settle
ment association plan with a colla
teral agreement entered into by
the members of that association
to enter on their lots at once and
begin cultivation and to proceed
with an increasing amount of culti
vation each year. This is done in
part .in order to assure the cannery
people of sufficient pineapples with
in the next two years or so. The
cannery people have also,' at the
request of the government, prd
pared a favorable form of agree
ment for the purchase of pine
apples from the homesteaders, al
though that agreement will yet
have to have the approval of others
on the mainland who are interest
ed in the cannery.
All that those who desire lots at
Kapaa have to do is to put in their
applications. Before the time comes
for the selection they will know
precisely what lots are open for
selection. These will probably be
all the lots not included in the ad
vertisement for the settlement asso
ciation and perhaps some of those
that are included under thatadver
tisement As soon as matters are
a little further along the requisite
advertisement will a e made, so
that then definite information may
be had.
Very truly yours,
W. F. Fkbar,
Governor of Hawaii.
A PLEASANT EVENING
A most delightful ladies' evening
was enjoyed last lnday at the
bowling alley by a number of our
local young set. A new feature
was introduced on the occasion,
which added considerably to the
pleasure and interest of the even
ing. Four prizes, consisting o
oouuoir ornaments, were put up
j by mine hosts, to be contested for
by the ladies. 1 his game proved
very interesting, many scores being
very close, and was closely fol
lowed by the m en. M i s s de
uretteviue won nrst prize with a
score of 217, while second prize
went to Miss Jordan who rolled up
the goodly score of 192, and a
third prize was easily captured by
Miss Ayer, with a score of 189. A
consolation prize which consisted
of a dog's pin cushion, enjoying a
mild pipe, while an importunate
bee is in the act of stinging him on
the nose, was awarded Miss Day.
However, the recipient denies ever
having experienced any pain such
is as usually evinced by a sting
Refreshments were served after
the prizes had been awarded, full
credit being done to the delicious
viands by all whose appetites
were doubly keen following the
strenuous bowling competition.

This is indeed welcome news, for

be in readiness for the start. The
league will be represented by six
teams this year, Waimea having
decided to remain out, owing to
the apparent lack of choice ma

SUNDAY'S BALL GAME
A large number of enthusiastic
fans were given an exhibition of
first class ball last Sunday after
noon, wnen tne unite team alter
being gotten into better shape,
journeyed over to the K. A. C.
grounds and took the game mak
ing two out of three games played
with the Kawaihau's with a score
of 9 to 2. The weather was fine
and as a result, spectators from
the adj'acent districts motored over
to witness the game.
The visitors did some very re
markable plaving and would have
made a shut-out if the home team
had not crossed the plate with one
run in the first and another in the
third.
The K. A. C. team is in better
form this season than it has ever
been before and contains some ex
cellent material which will give
other teams a haul rub. They held
the visitors by the nose with a bull

That" the new canning factory
company means business is indi
cated in the fact that they have
completed preparations for break
ing ground for the first hundred
acres of pines which will be plant
ed at once. Members of the settle
ment associatior- which has been
advertised, and which has been the
source of some adverse criticism,
are beginning fo arrive and are en
gaged in selecting their building
sites. They will plant as many pines
this year as they can prepare ground
for. One of the special agreements
entered into with the government
by these homesteaders, is that
they shall take possession of their
holdings at once and begin plant
ing at the very earliest opportunity.
Some of these men have ordered
their lumber and will commence
building at once. H H. Brodie
of Hanapepe will furnish as many
plants for the planters as he can
spare, and what is lacking will be
supplied by Oahu planations. The
Rice Ranch Co., has been engaged
to plow and put the land into shape
fox the '.planters. The planters
have spoken very appreciatively re
garding the generousity extended
them by the management of the
Kealia plantation.
SCHIEBER IS HURT
William Schieber, head mason
for the Lihue Plantation met with
a painful accident early last Thurs
day morning. He was en route to
Lihue and in attempting to make
the short cut h i s horse, while
crossing a small stone bridge,
slipped and fell into a water ditch
in such a manner as to catch Mr.
Schieber underneath. He extri
cated himself after great difficulty
and on making a personal exami
nation, discovered that he had
been pretty badly bruised about
the head and face and blood flow
ed copiously from the nose. After
a general overhauling at the Li
hue hospital he returned to his
home where a few days' rest will
be sufficient to allow him to re
turn to work.
LIHUE STORE GROWING
The chug, chug of the gasolene
engine which is manufacturing the
stone for the Lihue store, can be
heard from morn till night. Sup

fate than awaited them at the end.
They were shut out on several
occasions in sight of the goal. A
dispute arose when Sada drove a
hot liner over the short stop and
made a home run. Owing to his
carelessness which error was soon
located by a player of the visiting
team, Mr. Behr, chief umpire, call
ed him out for failing to touch the
bases. Waiau of the visiting team
succeeded in swatting the ball in
mid-air and landed it in the pool
far beyond the ball field for a clear
home run. Good batting and field
ing were made bv the visiting
team, and if they meet the Koloa
ites with the same playing at the
