hiku. The school children informed
their parents of the intended visit Of
the Board of Registration to Nahiku,
so eight or ten residents of Ulaino val

| the impression that it was the Board
| of Education they were going to meet
and petition for the removal of the
school house from Nahiku to Ulaino
gulch. When the mistake was discov-
cred they departed slowly with scowl-
| ing faces, for they have little admira-
ton for republican institutions

it to the clubmen. The association will
probably be called The Bachelors
