feCtly legitimate use to which to put
the money spoken of. The arms sent
out here by the United States govern
ment were in these lockers.
Mr. Bccklcy said he would withdraw
his objection If the member from tho
Fourth VINO had been urging the pas
sage of the item would agree to an
amendment that out of the apprOpria'
ton Of $500. new curtains be purchased
for the hall of the House of Represen-
tatives. The Superintendent of Pub
lie Works was the custodian of the hall
but he had not replaced the old rags
that hung about the doors with any
thing new The member referred TO
accepted the amendment and both the
items for repairs and furniture went
through.
The following items in the bill passed
without argument: Roads and bridges,
general. all islands, 10000; landings
and buoys general. $4,000; landings
any buoys, Hawaii, $4,000; Hilo water
works or as much thereof as may DO
necessary to complete contract, $4,000;
completion of road Huehue, to North
Kona, or so much thereof as may DO
necessary to complete contract, $4,000.
The trouble came when the House
reached the following item: Relocating
road between OOkala and Kukaiau, Ha-
wall, $4,000.
Mr.. Fernandez offered an amendment
making the amount $4,000 and when
there was objection TO this on the part
of several of the members, he said he
would move to strike out the item en-
tirely. II looked very much TO him as
~ the item were being asked for as a
benefit TO the plantations. The only
trouble in the district for which the
appropriation was being asked was in
those portions where the gulChes were
situated. So far as the roads through
the plantation were concerned, there
was no trouble whatever. II would
take the amount mentioned By him In
his amendment to fix up the dangerous
portions of the road. Mr.. Beckley sec
Dnded the motion 10 strike out the item.
Mr.. Fernandez next asked to withdraw
Uis motion and after some objection on
the part Of Mr.. Beckley and an oXpla-
patton Of the intention, motion was
withdrawn and he member from Ha-
wall again moved to insert the item at
100000. This was carried by very
close vote.
The item OF $500 for a wharf at Wal
mca, Kauai, went through without COM
ment.
At this point in the proceedings. Mr..
Harris asked for the report of the con-
mittee and the item of $4,000 for Wild
rning and strengthening the Waialae
road between Kamoiliili and the Ka-
pahulu road was brought up for dis
cussiOn, this having been recommend
ed by the committee as an amendment
Mr.. Pail made a strong fight against
the item, saying that he did not believe
this to be an emergency appropriation.
Mr.. Beckey wanted some information
on the subject. lie did not know just
what the necessity was for the widen
ing Of the road in question.
Mr.. Aylett arose and in a very hum
orOus strain, began to talk about the
sheep which had been allowed to get
into the pasture. He said that at the
beginning Of the consideration of the
bill, he had warned the members not
to open the door for the entrance of one
sheep for surely the flock would follow
in behind. This had come true. The
Maui sheep had first entered the pas
lure and the Maui boys had forgotten
10 close the gate SO that the Hawaii
sheep had succeeded In gaining en-,
trance. Now that the Oahu sheep were
trying to get in, there was objection
on the part of the country members
Kauai had been the only island whose
sheep had not made an attempt to get
into the pasture but had been content
10 remain on the outside.
Mr.. Eupihoa wanted to know of Mr.
Aylett how many natives there were
out in the district where the road was
being proposed to make an apprupra-
ton for extended. Mr.. Aylett as quick
rs flash, answered that some there
were who were dead and those who re-
manned were the people there at the
present time. Mr.. Kupihea insisted
THAT his question be answered and Mr.
tAylett again said that those who voted
: for him at the last election were the
Jones who were there at the present
time, He had been elected by them
Mr.. Kupihca was losing patience by
this time and Mr., Aylett answered that
he believed there were over a hundred
people in the district.
it was now Mr. Gandalls turn and
ne treated the House to n flow OF the
old style Hawaiian oratory that was
most refreshing. His gestures are per-
feet and he speaks the pure language
He told the House that he had had no
Intention whatever Of arising and ad.

from Oahu had attacked the island OF
Kauai and he proposed to answer.
