ROAD TO
KAHAUIKI
THIS AND OTHER IMPORTANT
WORK TO BE BEGUN NEXT
MONTH.

In accordance with the resolutions of
the Board of Supervisors the Road de-
partment of the county will begin a
good deal of new road work with the
opening of the month of August. Ow-
ing to the fact, however, that the
money available for the Road Depart
ment is only $4,000 per month for
the next six months, it will not be
possible to put as large force on the
different jobs as might be desired.
Probably the most important work
will be that done on King street This
thoroughfare is now in good condition
as far west as the Kalihi pumping
station, and the force will now be put
to work at the Kahauilli hill and work
back towards town. There will be
several months work to do on this
road owing to the fact that there is
great deal of excavating to be done,
much of which must be blasted. In
number of places a cut must be made
ten or more feet deep.
This is the part of road which has
been so much complained of especially
by the Army officers in command at
Camp Shafter, on account of the dust
which seriously interferes with the ef-
ficiency of the post hospital When
completed the road will be unbroken
macadam from Pearl City to beyond
Diamond Head, and will be one of the
finest stretches of road in the Territory.
A force of men will also be put to
work tomorrow along the waterfront
work Eva of the naval station. The
water pipe along that street is being
laid now, and the matchmaking will
follow rapidly.
The work on Beretania street is also
to be continued At the present time
it has been macadamized out as far as
the baseball ground and this will be
continued about a quarter of a mile
further to the Moiliili road making it,
when finished, one of the best drives in
the city.
| A gang will be at work tomorrow
/ laying sewer on the the extension of
Liliha street above Wyllie street in the
Puunui district preparatory to opening
this street for about a quarter of mile
and putting it into first class condition
with good coat of macadam
From the fact that the money for all
this work is small, and that besides do
ing the new work outlined, the $4,000
per month must keep up the repairs
and patching of streets, supplies quarry
work and other things, it will be un.
derstood that the County has under
taken pretty big job in the several
pieces of new work decided upon

VESSEL DUE FOR
CABLE SERVICE
STEAM SCHOONER FLORENCE
WARD TO BE IN THE MIDWAY
ISLAND SERVICE.

Superintendent Gaines of the local
headquarters of the Commercial Paci-
fic Gable Company has as yet received
no advices in regard to the sailing
from the Coast for Honolulu of the
company's steam schooner Florence
Ward. She has been expected for a
long time. Six months ago it was
thought she was to come here at once.
Now she is looked for at any time.
The steam schooner Florence Ward
was built for the cable company and
is to carry supplies from Honolulu to
the cable station at Midway. She will
run between this port and Midway
regularly and will probably be cap
tanned by Honolulu man at present
master of one of the boats of the In
ter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany who, when the Florence Ward is
in port will be first officer of the ca
bleship Restorer. The Florence Ward
may ship Hawaiian sailors.

WAIKIKI MUSICAL
FIGHT DISMISSED
NO EVIDENCE THAT MRS. PUAHI
HERSELF MADE ANY NOISE
EDMOND'S ELOQUENCE.

The celebrated Edmonds-Puahi Wal
ltiki musical contest case came up in
police court this morning and after an
entertaining session was dismissed,
there being no PROOF of Mrs. Puahi
herself making noise. Edmonds alleg-
ed that Mrs. Puahi desecrated the
sacred peace of the night by weird
and various noises on the violin, sew
eral guitars and a concertina. Mrs.
Puahi claimed that she was innocent
of any such crime. J. w. Cathcart
lead the prosecution and s. F. Chill
lingworth defended the lady
Edmonds took the stand and testi-
fed that from 8 to II o'clock nightly,
the noises from the Puahi place were
so strenuous that he could not hear
himself think; nor could his wife hear
him speak; nor could he hearken to
the words that fell from the lips of his
wife He swore, solemnly, that the
noise "permeated every atom of the
atmosphere. He said that the sing
ing and music was interspersed with
unintelligible yells.
Charlie Hopkins, musical expert,
testified that he had heard the music
but it did not seem to be particularly
disturbing. Chinese rice planter
was called in as an expert" He
ought the music was of Glow tone
of voice"

SECOND SALE
IS CONFIRMED
FINAL STAGES OF FORECLOSURE
SUIT THAT WAS APPEALED TO
WASHINGTON.

The mortgage foreclosure case OF
Sister Albertina ct al VS.. David Kawa-
nanakoa ct al, which has been in pro-
gress some time was concluded this
morning when Judge Robinson con-
firmed the sale of the second piece of
property, and the commissioner ac-
counts and returns approved, and the
commissioner empowered and directed
to execute deeds for the property IN
question. The final phase of the case
ing when the matter OF confirming the
sale of the second piece of land came
up. This is the piece which at the first
sale was bid up to $2,775 by T. R. Moss
man, who, however, was unable to
raise the 10 per cent of cash as first
payment as required, and it was conse-
quently resold. The second time it
brought only $3.50 and was knocked
down to Edgar Henriques, who on
the former occasion had bid $2,750.
There is just a possibility that the des-
crepancy in the price may form the
grounds for an appeal; otherwise the
matter is closed as far as the property
is concerned.
The amount of the original debt fot
which the property was sold was $4,000
but with the interest the sum amount
ed to $1O,S17. The proceeds of the
sale fell far short of being sufficient to
cancel the debt, there remaining
deficiency after the costs were paid, of
over $500. The costs in the case, ex-
elusive of attorneys fees, amounted to
between $500 and $780,
