To MACADAMEE
OVER THE PAIL
Important Link in the Island
Belt Road to Be
Improved.

/ The road down the Koolau side o.
the Pail is to be macadamized. This
important link in the belt road around
the island is to be made a winter road
as well as a summer road The work
will probably begin this month
County Engineer Gere returned yes
terday afternoon from the other side
Of the Pail. where he had been look
ing over road matters One of the
matters that engaged his attention
was the preparation to renew the
bridge near Waimanalo which. was
swept away some time ago by a
freshet. Work on a new bridge at this
point, the foot of Waimanalo Hill, win
begin at once.
The other matter to engage his at
tention was TO put the rock crusher
near Heeia in order, in preparation for
the work of macadamizing the Koolau
portion of the Pail road. The crusher
is located about half way between
Heeia and the foot of the Pail and
not far from the Japanese vegetable
gardens. 1t has never been actually
set up and put in operation. This will
be done at once. and the quarry
whence the stone for the macadam is
to be procured is to be opened up. All
this will be done this month.
The matchmaking will begin at the
foot of the Pail so as to give a good
road ali the time over which to haul
the macadam material. Engineer Gere
expects to have the worst part of the
road completed before the heavy rains
of the winter set in, in January.

WITNESSES OF
COOKS DEATH

Editor Friend:-An interesting testi
mony is given in the Sydney Morning
Herald of June %, by one Captain
Samuel Charles, who in March, 1850
interviewed at Kealakekua an aged
man who had witnessed the death OF
Capt. James Cook, seventy-one years
| previous.
This is especially interesting to my
self, because in my childhood, while
living at Kailua, / was Familiarity ac-
quainted with the aged Kekupuohi,
who stood close to Cook when he fell.
She was then a youthful wife of the
King Kalaiopuu, or "Terreoboa, -
whom Cook had arrogantly arrested,
and was leading by the hand to his
boat, intending to detain him as hos
tage on board of his ship, until salts
faction should be given for the theft
of boat. The exasperated chiefs
killed Cook at the water s edge.
l often saw the spot when a child,
and was born in a house twenty rods
north thereof in February, 1927. Ke-
kupuohi lived not far from the Bishop
house in Kailua, and only a short dis.
tance south from the stone church,
which was built in 1886, the year in
which the Bishops removed to Eva,
Oahu. | was then nine years old, and
have more distinct recollection of Ke-
kupuohi than of perhaps any other Ha-
waiian of Kailua.
She must then have been nearly
eighty years of age, but was not very
infirD. Her face was to child, a
rather pleasant and comedy one. l have
the strongest impression of a certain
beauty in the fine wrinkles which COW
cred the whole of her features.
All the facts relating to the death of
Capt. Cook were carefully and thor
oughly investigated by the earlier mis-
siOnaries, while many vigorous and in
telligent natives were still surviving
who were eye-witnesses. Those facts |
are well summed up in Alexander IS His |
tory, and accord substantially with the |
journals of Ledyards and Dr. Ellis. |
Messrs. Thurston, Ruggles and Bishop |
lived near the spot, and were all ex- /
tremely intimate with the native peo-
pie.
The chief and governing fact in that
most singular series of incidents, was
the people s wOrshipping of Capt. Cook
as their God Lono, and eonsecrating to
him heiau, or temple.
One OF my own most impressive recol-
lections of Kailua is that of four huge
timber idols erected on a heiau imme-
dlately seward of Kamehameha s old /
house. They were probably spared
from the universal destruction of idols
In 1919, out of reverence to the depart
ed kings memory. They were of the
most hideous type. l have heard that
later, Governor KuakIni fell away so
far as to offer them worship, for which
Father ThurstOn valiantly rebuked the
formidable ehieftain and brought him
to repentance.

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM HOME
WHEN MOST NEEDED.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family ply
stefan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp, collie and diarrhoea require
prompt treatment, and in many in
stances prove fatal before medicine can
be procured or physician summoned,
The right way is to keep at hand a
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe a better medicine for
these diseases. Sold by all dealers.

INCREASED PRICES.
Found by Navy Department Pro
posa1s for Food Supplies.

The increased cost in the price of the
staples of life Is evident In the proposals
submitted to the bureau Of equipment Of
the navy for furnishing over six million
pounds Of supplies, besides a large guam
tity Of miscellaneous edibles and drink
ables for the Pacific cruise Of the Atlantic
battle ship fleet. to begin December IL.
Such examinations as the officials have
made show that in comparison with last
year there is slight increase In the price
of many OF the necessities Of the ships
larder. That. however was not surprising.
in view Of the notices of higher quota
lions appearing in the market reports and
the officers of the bureau are proceeding
as rapidly as possible in making the
awards for the delivery Of the supplies.
One of the most notable increases in price
was that of beef. for which the bureau
asked for proposals for furnishing LOCO GOO
pounds, the advance showing a consider
able fraction of a cent per pound over
last years offerings.
Somewhat similar conditions exist in the
estimates submitted to the department for
work which the various bureaus have In
contemplation for the next fiscal year. In
cases Of projects heretofore urged and
not authorized by Congress. and which
are again urged. the estimates submitted
show an advance in price, based on the
cost of labor, of all the way from so to
Is per cent.

!. That all planters select and save their
seed for the next crop. the object being
to insure higher standard.
2 That all cotton after being picked be
housed for from forty to sixty days be-

SOUTHERN DISCRIMINATION.
Al G. Fields Wants the Same OLD
Rate for His Minstrels.

The interstate commerce commission is
likely to be entertained by a company OF
minstrels In the near future. AL G. Field
the famous minstrel. has come before the
commission by means of a petition ask
ing that that tribunal interfere to pre-
vent railroads Of the south from raising
transportation rates on him. He alleges
that last January he made contracts for
performances all over the south, basing
these contracts upon the rates Of fare he
had for many years been receiving from
railroads. He had been having his COM
pany OF 1orty-Iour Ministries transported
az the rate of IN cents a mile He went
ahead merrily. paying these rates and dis
pens1ng old and new jokes to admiring au-
olences, until the LIST Of last June the
railroads, with one accord, sprang a sur
prise on them which they could not view
declared that they would have to nav
the full individual fare instead of the
reduced fare they had SO long enjoyed.
The unjust act not only put a damper
upon the merriment Of the company and
made 1t difhcult to pay the fare in the
the calculations Of the company and act
ed, the minstrel declares as a discrimi-
nation against the SOUTH in which the
company travels because the higher rates
viii make 1t necessary for such COM
panies to abandon that field for circuits
in other sections Of the country, where
minstrels are better appreciated by the
railroads and are given lower rates of
fare
Because Of these reasons Mr.. Field
prays the commission to command that
the railroads Of the south cease from this
discrimination and continue to give his
minstrel company the same rates of
transportation they have enjoyed for q
long time in the past.
