Kilauea, Kauai, Nov. 4th-
Affairs on the Garden Island pro-
coed as of old. Activity is notice
able on every side and there is a
tendency on the part of all resi-
dents for the improvement of
everything in which they happen
to be Interested.
Just now Kauai is in the midst
of japanese holiday-the birth
day of the great MlkadO. Most
1T the japanese are taking three
lays off-one for preparation, an
other for celebration and still an
other to get over the effects of the
preceding day. The japanese
camps ON oil of the plantations
are almost hidden under a profu
sion of flags and decorative de
signs of many shapes and de
scriptions. The police are Oh the
sharp lookout for any trouble that
might take place as result of the
Celebration.
Among the Honolulu people
now on Kauai is DIR. W. L. Mon
sarrat, who is here on special
business assigned him by tn"
Board of Health. TuberculosIs
among cattle and, particularly,
milch cows, has been discovered
and the Board of Health is anxi-
Gus to prevent the spread of the
disease. Not many days since,
six animals were slaughtered
in Lihue as the result of
the discovery and now, cattle in
other parts are found to be atflict
ed. DIR. Mousarrat at this writ ny
is making a tour of the island and
is appointing inspectors at the
various places to keep the board
informed as to the disease DIR
Watt Of Lihue is one Of the men.
DR.. Monsarrat returned to Homo
lulu on the W. q. Hall.
In two months time Albert S.
Wilcox will retire as manager OF
Hanamaulu plantation, au iustitu,
ton that has, since Mr.. Wilcox
started the place, been most sue.
cessful. The lease which he has
held will be up at the expiration
of the time mentioned. Hanama-
ulu will then pass into the hands
of the Lihue plantation manage
ment.
Mr.. Wilcox is now building a
beautiful, modern residence on the
Koloa road, about a mile aud a
half away from the Nawiliwlll
landing. 1t is situated on a com
mauding site with the ocean
stretching away in front and the
mountains forming picturesque
background. When he has com.
pleted his work in Hspamaulu
he aud his wife will 60 there to
live. Mr.. Wilcox will probably
retire from active business.
One of the very new things IL
Lihue is the cottage hospital that
is being built by Messrs. George
n. and Albert $. Wilcox and
others, back of the home now occu
pied by DIR. Watt, the plantation
physician. An attempt was made
TO get an appropriation from thu
Government but this could not bt

is most comfortable structure.
The Moloss plains scheme j,
still being agitated and, from al
appearances, it would look as il
this place, as we'll as the AnaholG
lands next adjoining, would soon
be developed into a new planta,
ton by the two native huls own,
ing them. The only trouble is the
lack Of water. An attempt viii
soon be made to sink an artesiar
we'll. The two lands mentioned
are we'll adapted for plantation
rs their nature will permit of easy
irrigation.
AS time goes by, people in Ka
paa are becoming more and more
afraid Of the old smokestack thai
stands in the midst of the place
This, it will be remembered, is
where the old mill stood and il
the only remnant of that struc-
ture. Sometime ago, it was
struck by lightning and strong
gale may at any time, blow il
over, crushing people to death
Certainly Residents in close proxi-
nifty would be glad Of its dissp-
