LAST SUNDAY'S
BASEBALL GAMES
Little Hob Okuda pitched the
Lihue team to victory through u
grueling nine inning game with
tin- Kalaheos' sluggers on the Li
hue diamond last Sunday. Al
though ably supported by his
team mates, there is not the
slightest doubt but what Hob
saved the situation by his wonder
ful control and head work.
It is being brought out niore
clearly each game that Hob has
something under his cap besides
his hair. Time and time again
he enticed the man facing him to
bite at something he did not want
and that was impossible to hit.
He also has a provoking habit,
when two strikes are called, of re
ceiving the ball from the catcher
and getting the next one over so
quickly that the batter is taken
completely by surprise and either
swings wildly at the ball or is
called out on a strike ball. He
pulled this stunt twice Sunday.
Another bright and particular
star was Enoka Lovell. .Enoka
played classy ball throughout the
game, and was responsible for
two double plays. Willie Ellis
played a steady game at the re
ceiving end.
The Kalaheo's played good,
steady ball throughout the game
and made the Lihue team extend
themselves to the limit. Andrade
and Babello did the box work for
the visitors and held the home
team down to a very few hits,
while the J. Gabriel at the receiv
ing end G. Gabriel at first, played
their usual steady game.
As usual Lihue had the worst
of it up to the eighth. Kalaheo
succeeded in putting a man on
first their iivst time at bat, but
was not able to bring him home.
Lihue went out one, two, three in
their initial time up, but returned
the compliment with interest in
the first of the second with a
double out from second to first
and a strikeout.
In their half of the third Kala
heo got going and before Lihue
knew what it was all about the
visitors had two men across the
rubber. Lihue tried hard in their
half to even up the score, but
there was nothing doing. How
ever they held Kalaheo down and
succeeded in getting one man a
cross in the lifth. Then is when
the real game of ball commenced.
Kalaheo, determined to1 keep her
lead, played almost air-tight ball,
but, so did Lihue, and the fans
witnessed one of the best exhibi
tions ever staged on the Lihue
diamond. This is where the head
work of Lihue's little pitcher
saved the day. He worked the
visitors to a standstill. Although
Kalaheo did succeed in getting a
man to lirst in the sixth, the next
batter was foolish enough to hit
one to Enoka Lovell on second,
who tagged his man and caught
flu runner at first. "
Hoth teams continued to score
goose eggs up to the last of the
ciL'hfh. when Lihue came through
as per schedule and scored two
runs. Kalaheo had one more
chance to bat, and each man came
up with the full intention of put
ting the pill over the court house.
Hut Hob just smiled and deliver
ed the goods, and they went out
one, two, three just like that.
Score .".-2.
The games between Makee and
Koloa at Koloa, ended S-l in fav
or of Makee. The McBryde-Ma-
kaweli game at Makaweli was
11-1 in favor of McBryde. iMiu
sed.
Next Sunday's games will be as
follows: Lihue-Makee at kapaa;
McBryde-Kalahco at Kalaheo;
Makaweli-Koloa at Koloa.
The McHrvdo-Kalaheo game
gives promise- of being an interest
ing match.

:o:-
A Possible Candidate

hurried visit to Kauai last week
with a view to the possible accep
tance of the pastorate of the Li
hue I'nion church and the agency
of the Hawaiian Hoard. Mr. Hay
liss though recently engaged in
Y. M. C. A. war work is a thor
oughly trained and experienced

Poi Supper, Big Affair
One of the largest, most demo
cratic and ii'iost successful hums
in a long time was that given Sat
urday evening by Mr. and Mrs.
Edward Fountain at the Foun
tain home, Xawiliwili, in honor
of first birthday of their infant
daughter, Lorraine.
The large Iannis, covering the
most of the garden, built of coco
nut leaves, and beautifully deco
rated with ferns. Mowers and pot
ted plants, were filled to overflow
ing two or three times over by
eager, delighted guests.
The viands included everything
known to Hawaiian culinary art.
ns well as "hoale" delicacies all
in great profusion, on the long
tables fairly piled up with good
tilings.
The lanai, verandas and gar
den were profusely liglfted with
Japanese electric lanterns, which
gave the whole place a very fes
tive appearance like a bit out of
fairy land.
During the supper, and on
through the evening, an excellent
siring band rendered choice inn-si.-,
iind when things were cleared
up a bit, dancing followed.
Some :)() guests were invited,'
and by the size of the crowd they
were surely all there, and in
engenial mood to enjoy every
thing that was going. After the
manner of the old Hawaiian "hoo
knpn" money gifts were bestowed
upon the little child, who was of
oi.rsc naively but graciously un
ci nscious of what it was all about.

The Run of Ala-lau-wa
An increasing familiar object
in the evening landscape is the
rustic fisherman around with a
a It.imlwM) rod, a tin to hold his
catch, and a lantern to guide his
belated homeward steps.
The inspiration is the advent of
the Ala-lau-wa, the little red fish
known later as the Weo-weo,
which visits our shores about this
season of the year in great quanti
ties. In good .old Hawaiian days, the
advent of this fish in any consid
erable quantity, was held to be
prophetic of the death of some
prominent Hawaiian alii and in
those days they say the fish never
missed it. But now that very lew
aliis are left, the line of prophecy
will have to be reconstructed, and
will perhaps apply to political
leaders and popular heroes.
On just whom the lot is to fall
the knowing Ala-lau-Ava fails to
indicate.
In the meantime the industrious
fisherman brings home a big catch
along late in the evening, and fish
are strung out to dry at many
rural -homes all through the dis
trict. :o:
Refrigerating Engineer
Visiting the Island
Mr. V. J. Burges, refrigerating
engineer, representing the Auto
matic Hefrigcrating Company, of
Hartford, Conn., is on Kauai and
stopping at the Lihue Hotel. Al
though Mr. Burgess has been in
the Islands some two years, this
is his first visit to this Island and
he is duly impressed with what
he has seen of our wonders. Mr.
Burgess has installed practically
all the refrigerating and ice mak
ing plants on Oahu and the other
Islands, such as the .Metropolitan
Meat Market, Dairymans, Haw
leys, etc. He is on Kauai for the
purpose of getting in touch with
the business men of the Island
who are, or might be, in need of
a large or small refrigerating
plant.

Mrs. Bray ton, of Kohala, is
spending a couple of weeks or so
with Mrs. Jamison, of Lihue. They
are old friends.

J. B. Bergstrom, the piano man,
made a short visit to the metro
polis last week.

Mary Pickford will be at the
Tip Top tonight in "Johanna En
lists." Don't fail to see her.
Summer Camp Notes
Kokee and the surrounding re
gion of summer camps have been
more than ever popular this year,
and a goodly number of Kauai
people, as well as many from Ho
nolulu have been up there. Among
these there are or have been as
follows :
-fr
Mr. and Mrs. Th. Brandt have
been spending ten days or so at
their new place near Malua I'oha.
Judge Lindsay, Montague
Cooke and his infant son are stay
ing at the Faye place, Malua
I'oha, where Mr. Cooke is making
collections for the Bishop Mu
seum. The Danfords have been spend
ing a good part, of the summer at
their place just above Malua I'o
ha where, they have been enter
taining friends from time to time.
-5
Augustus Knudsen, after the
manner of his long established
generous custom has been enter
taining a band of boys some 20 or
more, al his camp at the Kokee
Flats. He gives them that happy
combination of a free and easy
time coiided with adventure and
strenuous endeavor which makes
the very strongest appeal to a
sturdy hoy, and they are all hav
ing a perfectly wonderful time.
J
I). L. Larson and family, of
Kilauea, have gone up to Kokee,
where they will spend some time
in a .summer camp. They will be
well outfitted for comfort and
convenience, even providing them
selves, it is reported, with a real
cow for family use. Mr. Mene
foglio will combine with them for
part of the time.
Hanger Hardy, the Dean of the
Mountains, is about constantly
protecting the interests committed
to his care, and ministering to the
comfort and well-being of the
of the campers by information
and advice.
Kokee and the whole surround
ing region, generally sopping wet,
at least underfoot, is now phenom-
mally dry, and the streams and
springs have dwindled down to
little Irickles.
A forest fire got started by some
means in the Kawaikoi region to
(he east of Kokee, and had burned
some little time before if w. s dis
covered. Immediately on lcarnin,;
of it Hanger Haruy gathered up
some men, and set urn to fight it.
By these prompt measures and the
use of trim lies and roadwavs, he
has extinguished it. The inmost
care is necessary during this dry
weatl ci- in the handling of liie,
every , cslngc of it should be put
out hi-lore leaving it.
:
Mrs. K. I). .Meade, wife of the
well known secretary of the Plan
ters Association, came to Kauai
last week and went up to Kokee
immediately where she will spend
some time at one of the summer
camps. Her daughter was al
ready there.
Prof. McNeil of l'unahou, and
wife are spending a few weeks at
Kokee at the Breckinridge camp.

Death of an Old Resident
Yt'oug Aloiau died al Kapaa on
the lith of August and was buried
the next day, the funeral services
being very largely attended by
people of all races and classes.
Wong Aloiau was an o'd tinier
of long residence on the island, ex
tending over fifty years. He was
for some years a rice planter at
Anahola and then afterwards a
store keeper ami general business
mail ol Kapaa. He leaves two
part Hawaiian daughters, married
ami living elsewhere, am a la rut
Chinese family, some of them
grown up and some of them still
children. One of them, Won!
Feart, is a prominent rice plnntci
and business man of Kapaa.
Aloiau, as he was generally
known, was a man of a good deal
of business ability, and one win
commanded the respect of the com
niunity.
RECONSTRUCTION
OF LIHUE MILL
Important changes and im
provements are in progress at the
Lihue Mill which will add very
materially to the efficiency and
capacity of that factory.
The crushing plant has been
run heretofore by two indepen
dent engines; these engines will
now be replaced by a single large
engine, which will balance and
synchronize the whole plant
much better (hen heretofore. A
shredder will be introduced be
tween the crusher and the first
mill which will add to the capa
city and increase the extraction
of the mill. A three motor travel
ling crane will be installed over
the mill. A juice settling tank,
with conical bottom, will be add
ed under the mill, and large heat
ing tanks above, together with
juice weighing scales, etc.
The evaporating capacity of the
quadruple effects will be increas
ed by the adoption of what is
known as the film evaporation
system, a continuous spray of
juice being thrown onto the steam
drums within the pans which will
insure a much more rapid evapo
ration of the juice.
The filter press system, hereto
fore behind the- mill, is being in
stalled within the building, where
it will be more directly connected
and under more convenient super
vision.
Three new boilers, of the most
modern and ellicient type, will be.
installed so that there will be an
ibundant supply of steam with a
boiler to snare for cleaning, re
pairs, etc.
The mill-yard track system will
be reconstructed, in order to se
cure more room, ami to obviate
the frequent crossing of the pub
lic roads, with consequent delays
inconvenience and danger to life.
This will be accomplished bv the
construction of a switching and
storage-track system niaiika of
the mill. This will give a storage
eapac i . v . .
ne 'u' cm
and
will relieve the trac
makai, as well as the danger to
public traffic on the roads. This
will be a great benefit to the pub
lic, and will largely remove a
constant source of danger.
I hese improvements are ex
pected lo be completed by about
the first of December ami when
completed will enable the mill to
handle about lit) tons of cane an
hour, or say ir0 Ions of sn.;;ir a
day.
A. S. Wiicox Will
