Many people in the city who took juice
from the electric company had beer
in the habit of keeping their gas me
tres in to have gas in case of an emer

was off for awhile the gas came il
very handy.
Now the Gas company has inform,
ed its patrons that they must either
fish or cut bait and if they continue
to patronize the electric company the.
will take out their gas meters.
How this will work is a matter fol
the future.

if the Gas company wants rate wal
they will give them large pod fui

the event
Dan Renear has the Healani boys in
charge and is teaching them the art
of sliding through the water. Ernest
kopke of the Myrtles is having his
hands full in choosing a representative
team. Everyone will recall the close
struggle that took place between these
teams when they met last and how
the Healani boys only won out by a
couple of feet.
The match race for the 5o-yard cham
pionship of the Islands, open to all, is
tracing much interest and there have
already been four entries, Renear.
Kopke, Kimokeo and Freeth. This will
probably prove very exciting event
There are many who will back Kopke,
the Myrtle lad, against Renear in fifty
yards. In their last race, when Renear
broke the 100-yard record, Kopke led
for the first fifty yards, and finished in
the fast time of Is.
The people will be treated to a great
exhibition on the same evening. Re-
near and Freeth are in a class by them
selves when it comes to aerial feats
over the water Freeth will do a high
dive. A scaffold 80 feet high will be
erected and Freeth will make a leap
from that height. This Will be the
record dive of the Islands.
Contracts are being received for the
lighting and seating. This entertain
ment held at night should be a very
attractive affair
