THE CHAMBER OF
. COMMERCE MEETING
A special mooting of tho Chnmbor ot
Commerco was hold In Llhuo Saturday
nftcrnoon to take action In regard to
raising tho Kauai quota ot tho Fourth
Liberty Loan and one or two other
matters.
The president reminded tho Cham
ber that about a year ago a committee
had been appointed to act in conjunct
Ion with a similar committee ot tho
Planters' Association in these matters.
Mr. Wishard suggested that this com
mittee bo reappointed to act In nil
such matters of war activity during
the present Chamber of Commerce
year, with tho understanding that a
now mcmbor bo appointed In place of
Mr. W. D. McBrydo, who was out of
the Territory and would not be able
to servo. Being put as a motion this
was carried, and the president named
Mr. P. A. Alexander for the vacant
place. Tho committee now consists
of Messrs Crawford, Brandt, Alex
ander, Wolters and Larson.
Tho treasurer presented the name
of Mr. John Naleimallo of Koloa for
membership. IIo was duly elected.
Tho president suggested that there
wore several matters which should
receive the early attention of tho
Chamber, among which wore deep
sea harbor selection and construction;
tho question of an Annual Territorial
Fair, and the surprising action taker!
by tho Forestry Commission in regard
to camping sites nnd summer outing
lots in the upland country back of
Waimoa. Gut as the time of tho pres
ent session was so limited, it would
J scarcely be feaslblo to take action on
them on this occasion.
Mr. Moragno forcoably expressed
his disapproval of the hold up prices
which had been placed on the Kokeo
lots. He said, "they were unreason
able and would result in keeping out
tho people who needed that sort of
outing tho most."
Mr. Lydgato suggested that there
were several important matters call
ing for tho early attention of the
Chamber, matters that could scarce
ly bo allowed to go over to the next
regular meeting in October. Accord
ingly ho proposed that a special meet
ing be called to deal with them at an
earlier date, to bo set by tho presi
dent. The president accepted this
suggestion and will act accordingly.
Mr. Brandt then introduced Mr.
McDlll, who was making a hurried
tour of tho Islands in tho interest of
the coming Y. M. C. A. drive to raise
a largo fund for war work.
Mr. McDlll is a pleasant and effect
ive speaker, easy and fluent as well as
direct and forceable. IIo spoke in
part as follows:
"Tho American military authorities
havo laid hands bodily on the Y. M.
C. A. They havo conscripted it as
they havo their armies. Tho moving
impulse- and tho ontiro policy of the
Y. M. C. A. is to help our soldiers
wherever, whenever and however It
can. It takes him from his home sur
roundings and follows him all along
tho lino until ho gets back to them
again. Y. M. C. A. secretaries or
ngents personally conduct the troop
trains and ships, and render assist
ance in ovory way they can. And that
this association is prized is shown by
such incidents as this: 'A Y. M. C. A.
man on the Pacific Coast just happen
ed to pick up a train of marines and
J traveled with them a few hours, re
turning to his home, in Southern Cali
fornia. Before the time came for him
to leave them, tho boys took up a col
A HEAD-ON COLLISION
An accident that was saved from
fatal consequences only by some mira
culous good foituno happened Sunday
afternoon on tho Kapaia hill when a
motorcydo coining up tho grade ran
Into the Cheatham car in a head on
collision that seems difficult to explain,
as tho c-.:r was on the right sido of tho
road and tho lino of vision clear.
Tho niotorcyclo was smashed to
flinders, but strange to say, the riders,
two young Japancso from Koloa,
escaped with only a few minor
scratches.

lection and tendered him tho amount
of his fare to the East and back If ho
would go with them.'
Everywhere along tho line, both at
homo and abroad, the men are volu
able in their appreciation of tho servi
ces rendered by tho Y. M. C. A.
t "Out of every 1000 letters examined
by the censor, 90S specifically com
mend thjs organization and most of
them ;request their friends at home
to 'boost tho Y. M. C. A.'
"Two secretaries accompany every
trn'nspdrt, and do much to relievo the
tedium and discomfort of the voyage.
Some of theso transports carry as
many as 13000 troops, which is far be
yond their normal passenger capacity,
so that tho men havo to sleep in re
lays of eight hour shifts. When thoy
land in France, after being cooped up
on tho voyage they very soroly need
athletic exercise. Tho Y. M. C. A.
has proper athletic fields thoroughly
equipped for tho recreation of theso
great hordes of men that pour in by
every steamer. '
"In tho trenches tho Y. M. C. A
furnishes that most vital of all things,
recreation, as a relief from the intense
strain that would otherwise drive men
to tho mad house. Thoy do this in
different ways: By means of athotics
they have an option on all tho ath
letic equipment in America and are
turning to England besides thoy do
It by means of music through such
mon as Harry Lauder, whom you
know. They do it through summer
rest hotels and outing places every
where, all along the lino, and under all
the trying conditions, tho Y. M. C. A.
Is serving the soldier, making him
more fit and more contonted.
"You all know of the supremo con
fidence that General Pershing places
in the Y. 51. C. A., and that tho whole
canteen service has been iven over
to them. This is an enterpriso of
giagantic proportions which calls of.
course for vast sums of money.
"In the matter of campaigns for
funds for tho Y. M. C. A. and similar
interests, it has been considered ex
pedient to mako a combined joint ef
fort rather than scattered individual
efforts. A confcrcnco of theso various
interests has placed tho combined
bugct of tho Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.'a.,
tho Knights of Columbus and tho Li
brary work at $133,000,000. This vast
sum has been carefuully apportioned
to tho various sections of the country.
Tho Pacific Coast quota, to which Ha
wr.il belongs, being 5 percent or $6,
G75.000, and of this, 8175,000 has been
apportioned to the Hawaiian Islands,
which Is very much less than tho lied
Cross campaign called for from these
Islands.
"A mooting is to bo held In Hono
lulu on Monday to arrango tho appor
tionment of this sum among tho vari
ous islands, and In that meeting you
will of courso be represented.
"In conclusion I am authorized to
say that Liberty Bonds will bo accept
ed at par by way of subscription to
this cause, wlilch may perhaps facili
tate somewhat the success of the
enterprise."
It being then so near'steamor time,
it seemed hardly feaslblo to appoint
a delegation to this Honolulu meeting
from those present, unless it was some
ono who was going any way. No ono
volunteering, Mr. Warner was ap
pointed as delegate to represent tho
Chamber, to bo assisted in that ca
pacity by any other member of the
Chamber who might bo going to town.
OFFICER CAPTURES A BURGLAR
McBrydo Mill has been missing cop
per and lead piping for some time, but
were unable to catch the thief, so thoy
notified Georgo Kauplko, tho now
pollco officer, and requested him to
seo what ho could do In tho matter.
George Immediately got busy on tho
' case. Ho also got a cluo such a good
J cluo in fact that Sunday night he hid
I himself In a canofleld near Hanapope.
j Ho did not havo long to wait, for prot
j ty soon a form loomed up coming down
' tho road. George kept quiet until tho
man passed him then ho pounced up
on him and brought him to earth.
Tho man was a Korean and actually
had tho goods on him. IIo confessed
that ho was tho burglar. Georgo is re
ceiving tho congratulations of his
, many friends.

news of his appointment to the ma
chine gun school nt Camp Hancock,

"Jack" has been having a hard
time getting into the army. He was
such a valuable man as a producer of
canned pineapples that the Govern
ment wOuld not let him go to a train
ing camp, although ho Is away up In
military tactics and could pass tho
Btlffest kind of an examination so
"Jack" goes and gets drafted goes up
to Honolulu and Is sent back on leave
to can pineapples.
Just boforo the pineapple season
closed he wont up to Honolulu and
put in his application for tho machine
gun school at Camp Hancock, Georgia.
He believes he has a good chauco to
get the appointment.
While "Jack" is away to war, A.
Horner, Sr. will take over the manage

A MUSICAL TREAT COMING
The music loving public of Kauai
will bo pleased to learn that thoy will
again havo the opportunity of hear
ing tho Corelll String Trio, the splen
did musicians who visited our island
about a year ago.
After their engagement on Kauai
last year thoy went to tho mainland
and have been a featured attraction
throughout the Orpheum circuit.
They will offer a musical program
of classical, operatic and popular num
bers, with harp and violin solos.
Lovers of good music will not miss
this opportunity ot again hearing this
marvelous trio of brothers.
They will appear in conjunction with
W. A. Fernandez' pictures. Sep tho
advertisement for dates.
THE NEW CAMP GROUNDS
Following tho improvement of the
road from Kekaha to the upland
country of Pun ka Pole and Kokce,
there has been an increasing popu
larity of that interesting region, and
many small -parties havo mado a
day's outing thither with great satis
faction. Tho trip can bo made very com
fortably from Waimea and return, In
six or seven hours or loss.
It is advisable for persons who
have not been thero before, and who
don't know the country, not to drive
their own cars, as it is a trying trip
for the chauffeur, as well as for tho
car.
There is a pretty general con
census of opinion In favor of tho
Puu Ka Pole region rather than
Kokee for camping sites, at least of
a permanent nature, whenovur that
region shall bo thrown open to the
public, and a water supply provided.
Kokee is apt to bo wet, as well as
more inacessible.
