NOTES FROM THE GARDEN ISLAND"

We are having very beautiful
weather on Kauai, with occasional
showers. The roads too are in fine
condition.
Dir. and Mrs. Christian Olsen lost
by death a few days since fine
little girl of three years Of age. She
was only sick few hours, and her
death was great shock to the par
ents. She was buried on Sunday

four children acting as pallbearers.
There is some talk of building a
hotel on the sea beach, and making a
sort Of health and pleasure resort of

fishing, etc, it might be made quite
success, for our climate on this ISL

An article in the GAZETTE on the
Kauai Industrial School has been
favorabay commented on here. The
writer gives much valuable informa-
ton relative to the school, and its
system Of support and general work
iDgs. IF the Hawaiians can be trained
to till their own soil, and raise their
own vegetables, which is the object
of the institution, it will be a grand
work and be a guarantee of future
prosperity to the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The article has had the effect of
awakening an interest In the school
by many people on Kauai, and it is
to be hoped that the interest may
make itself manifest in good practi
cal help.
