Lihue. Dec. 20.--The' bad weather of
last week has continued during the
present week although with somewhat
less force, the wind having died down
to great extent. However, copious
showers have fallen at frequent inter-
walls, making 1t difficult for men to
work in the fields or on the roads.
! The condition OF the roads in this
district after the recent rains makes
1t very evident that something radical
must be done by the next legislature
or people will have to quit travelling
altogether. Llhue and other places on
the Garden Isle should have had ma
cadamized roads In the residence por-
tions long before this. Kauai pays a
large amount of money into the treas
ury in taxes each year and she gets
back In appropriations about one-third
of the whole amount. II she got two
thirds and the government kept the
other third, there would be no trouble
about the roads.
Everybody here, and In fact, all over
the island, Is looking forward to the
passage of the county bill for we feel
here that once this law is passed the
troubles OF the people here will cease
( The members of the legislature from
this island will vote solid fol the coun-
ty bill.
The post office In Lihue has been
moved from one part OF the planta-
ton store building 10 another and nov
there Is more room for the ever in
creasing work.
Manager ]. A. Palmer OF the Lihue
hotel, gave a dance at the hosiery to-
night This dance was to have been
held last Saturday night but was de-
clared of on account OF the very
stormy weather.
Great preparations are being made
TOR the big celebration OF the Masons
on this Island at Waimea on the night
OF December 81 Every member OF
the Masonic fraternity on Kauai will
be present, rain or shine II is thought
that this celebration will be the start
Ing point OF movement toward the
, establishment OF lodge on Kauai, a
contamination which the Masons here
have long had in contemplation but
which was nipped in the bud some
time ago by the departure of quite
lumber OF the fraternity from the
island. Since that time, there lave
been several additions to the ranks.
W. A. Kinney spent several days ut
Wahiawa this week and returns TO

dan. both school teachers OF this

Honolulu in the w. G. Hall tbis even
Ing for the purpose OF spending their
holidays in Honolulu. It Is under
stood that others from the ranks of
the school teachers OF this island will
80 down in the Mikahsla on Tuesday.
Kauai has been short OF fresh fish
Tor the past two weeks on account OF
the very rough weather.
Sheriff John II. Coney gave a stag
dinner at his home In Lihue last night.

The temporary bridge over the Ka-
paia stream having been completed,
the permanent structure has been
started by the road board The sup
ports are to be of solid masonry aud
the span of the bridge will be about
twenty-five feet, It will be remembered
that the old bridge was washed away
during the recent storm.
The last Hall brought steam rol.
Ter for the Lihue road board. II is
understood that others OF the same
kind have been sent to various other
places on the island - re y So
Visitors from Honolulu state that
the telephone system on this island is
SO far ahead OF the one ut the capital,
tfhat to- talk through one OF the instru-
Yhents faIriystartles them.
T'he JI.ihae boys are talking abou,
apotler minstrel entertainment. Work
Iwills probably begin at the commence
ment OF the new year. There Is plenty
OF talent on the island as was shown

1t is understood that the people OF
Kauai will make a concerted effort to
