'f Aylett snapping at Qulnn, without
'apparent reason except misunderstand-1

' to explain, backed by the Mayor, with
the result that everything went through

procedure of the meeting of the Board
of supervisors this mornnig, from 9:30
to 10:60.
The street Ordinance in re digging
up, undermining, etc., restricting and
regulating tnese operations for the
protection of the city, was finally pass

on Qulnn's motion, of the amount ot
$1,460 for the completion of certain
necessary road work in the Ewa dis

presented himself at the meeting in his
travellng garb, his protuberant calves

Board keeps within the appropriations
already made, regular and special, as
closely as possible, it should come out
about even on December 31. To that
end 110 extra appropriations of largo
amount should he made.
"There is more money available from
the Territory than it now pays to the
CRy and County each month, but your
committee would remind the Board
that the extra monthly amount,. pro

Fourteen automobiles covered 120 miles each yesterday on Kauai,
while the Mauna Kea went to and fro to help In carrying Congress
men around the island, ocean travel being substituted lor land tra
vel where .the latter was Impracticable, so that the Island was cir
cuited and very well observed, In a single day. The hospitality and
warmth of the Kauai reception surprised even the Honolulans. as
well as the visiting Congressmen and their wives and the complete
ness of the preparations, tho excellence of the plan and success with
which it was carried out, Impressed all. Kauai had another sur
prise, the event ot the day to some, when she showed at Kalahea,
a place whose just established Post Olllce has been appropriately nam
ed Homestead, a public school or about eighty children and not an
Asiatic In the lot. It was a result of the homesteadlng on lands for
which McBrj'db plantation not long ago surrendered leases, to allow
settlement, and a community of about five hundred people, all living
on their own homesteads, has resulted. To the assembled chldren
and their parents Congressman Clark made a telling speech, carrying
the keynote of a majority of all the inquiries and observations the
visitors made during all their ,trlp, the problem of peopling the land
with citizen tollers who live and labor on their own soil. For the
rest, Kauai showed roadways that were a surprise to all, and made
many a Congressman remark that the Island was far ahead of his
own district; she showed a splendid lot of hustling citizens, a coun
ty government system working smoothly, economically and efficiently
and some scenery which all agree they will remember for the rest ot
their lives.

As the Congressional party on Kauai
yesterday was speeding towards Ko-
loa, tho automobiles suddenly came un-.
expectedly upon a country store in
tront ot which were about eighty cheer-
lng children, each waving an -American
flag. Around were their parents, wait-
lng for the visitors. A big sign "THE
NEW HAWAII." was on a banner
strung across the road and In tront of
a store were piles ot fruits and vege-
tables of all sorts, raised In the vicln-
lty. Close by tho road was a big cot-
fee tree, transplanted for the occasion,
and red with huge coffee berries. On
the hill sides all round" were small
homes. A large painted banner above
the heads of the cheering youngsters
read, "Our Best Crop."
As the autos drew up young ladles
and men handed each ot the visitors a
cool cocoanut, pierced and with a straw
sticking out. There was not a single
Asiatic In the croWd of youngsters, and
the visitors from Honolulu wondered
if they were really in the Territory ot
Hawaii.

Congressman Clark was asked by
Chairman Bartholdt to make an ad

the middle of the road. Ho referred
first to the great satisfaction felt by
all the party In the agricultural show,
saying that it was a most encouraging
thing. "It Is the most encouraging
