KOHAlAlTES WONDER
ABOUT WOODS DITCH

The Kohala Midget, which IS on the
ground, appears to know no more about
the new Woods ditch than those away
from the district, referring to the irri-
CATION project as THAT mysterious
ditch and saying:
"Just who are financing the ditch
and where its waters are to be used
people are trying to guess. Mr.. Woods
and all connected are mum.
Being a storm water ditch, it could
not be depended upon for a crop of
cane. One guess is that Mr.. Woods is
going to grow cotton
The Midget hints further at ditch
complications, saying:
1T is rumored that the new Upper
Kohala Ditch is held up completely,
through the failure of the company to
secure a certain right of way. There s
many slip 'twiXt the ditch and the
crop. -

(Mail Special to The Advertiser.)
HlLO, September 2.-The Hilo rail
road extension toward Hamakua fin
lshed laying another two miles of track
yesterday, being now up to Kapue
Gulch, across which is situated the
Onomea Sugar Company's office. A
week ago yesterday the last bolt was
rlveted in the big Honolii bridge, and
IN the Intervening week two miles Of
track have been laid, and on Thursday

Zens of Papaikou We're startled to hear
a locomotive whistling like all pos
sessed across their peaceful gulch. This
morning the assembling of the materia,
for the erection of the Kapue bridge
began, the big portable derrick, which
lifts the massive bridge girders into
place, being brought forward from Ho
nolii
The first carload of freight over the
new line goes out tomorrow morning,
the Onomea Sugar Company taking
carload of lumber. Superintendent
Filler expects to run several excursion
trains over the line next week, stopping
at the various points Of interest along
the line, and will commence running

The Volcano.
Kilauea has been intensely active
during the past week, the glare at night
being plainly visible from Hilo. The
great lake Of boiling lava is now nearly
a thousand feet in diameter. It rose
to within about ten feet of the banks
during the week, and then sank again
to a depth of about forty feet below
the edge of the bank 1t is boiling
nearly all over its surface most of the
time, with larger jets and fountains at
different points. All the visitors who
came up by the Mauna Kea express
themselves as being delighted with the
spectacle.
Mauna Kea's New Schedule.
The announcement that the Mauna
Kea will run special trip to meet
each Sierra, arriving at Hilo in time
to give Sierra passengers close con-
nection with the railroad to the vol
cano. and taking them back on a close
schedule from the volcano, has caused
considerable head-shaking in Hilo, for
where does Hilo get OFF, But the peo-
pie of Hilo are inclined to approve of
the proposition, for it will be the en-
tering wedge for a twice-a-week service
of the Mauna Kea, which will eventu-
ally be made permanent and an every
week affair, which is what Hllo wants.

HOW LEE KONG CAME
To HIS UNOO|NG
GhostIy Rappings - Feminine
Curiosity-Secret Too Big to
Be Kept-Handcuffs.
Mail Special to The Advertiser)

mail Special to The Advertiser.)
WAILUKU, September BY the S.
S. Claudine this week, Lee Kong went
to Honolulu, accompanied by an Off
cial escort, consisting of Deputy
Sheriff l.. l.. Joseph of Hama, and A.
~ Murphy o. the federal marshal s
office. Lee Kong is the Chinaman &C
cused of making imitation coins and
of passing it on the unsuspecting resi-
dents of Hama, Maui.
He is not new hand at the bust
ness, nor was this his first otfense.
Some three or four years ago he and
others We're gathered in by the police
for a similar offense. He was found
guilty and served but his sentence. The
federal officers sacked the private mint
ing works of the gang, destroying and
taking whatever struck their fancy.
They went back to Honolulu believing
they had succeeded III stopping the
making of imitation coins in Hama,
Maui but it seems they had reckoned
without their host. The willy Kong
knew a thing or two about his line
of business and had saved the dies
and other essentials of the coin max
ing outfit. On his release from an en-
forced vacation in the penitentiary, he
returned to his old stamping grounds,
unearthed his plant and cheerfully re-
sumed the work of making coins i'll OPP
position to the extensively equipped
million dollar plants known as federal
minis, wherein Kong proves himself a
genius in his particular line, due to
keep the federal marshal's forces from
getting the false impression their jobs
are soft snaps.
However, the tale of Lee Kong's I'M
doing hinges on the fact that there
lived in the neighborhood of Lee
kong's private mint two shy Hawaiian
girls, with well developed bumps Of
curiosity, backed by an innate desire
to peep into everything and anything
that tickled their aforesaid bumps of
curiosity, whether it be scraps of idle
every day gossip or the want of reason
for the change of the latest fashion
in ladies hats.

Ghosts Were Busy.
dark night a little VIII

One dark night a little while ago
one of the two awOke from bad dream
and heard a ghostly sound of muftted
tapping on the still midnight air. Now,
Hawaiians believe in ghosts, and in
stantly the thought flashed across the
Young maiden s mind, that tabled
host of spooks were holding ghOstlv
carnival that ght among the ruins Of
a neighboring heiau such as is firmly
believed in by the simple country folks
to presage something dreadful about to
happen IN the near future. With the
thought she pulled the bed clothing
over her head and thereby disturbed
the peaceful slumbers of maiden num-
Der two. She. too, on hearing the
ghostly tapping followed the example
of number one and covered up her sim
pie head. Painting and sweating. half
suffocated the two lay listening for an
hour before the eerie midnight sounds
died away. but for the remainder Of
the night the two slept with toes ex-
posed and heads buried under four
thicknesses of bed clothing.
In the morning they felt sheepish
and did not like to tell their elders of
what they had heard and Of the fright
they were in. Fnquiring in a round
about way they were told the ghostly
drummers were only to be heard on the
night Immediately following the wane
of the full moon, and not on dark
nights when there is no pale light for
ghostlv drummers to read their music
bv. For several nights thereafter the
ghostly tapping sounds were repeated,
till familiarity bred contempt, and
feminine curiosity asserted itself. Sev-
eral nights later the two maidens sal

HIGHWAY PROBERS

Five Members of Investigating
Committee Will Begin Tours

MISS PRESENCE OF FLETCHER
San Diego Engineer Will Depend
on Reports of Associates
for Facts

The highway investigating committee
appointed by the Los Angeles super
visors to investigate charges of mis-
management, incompetency and faulty
workmanship, preferred against the
engineer and highway commission in
charge of road work authorized by the
good roads bond issue, will begin It's
inspection of the county'S highways at
O'Clock this morning. only five or
the six members of the investigating
committee will make the tour of In
spection, Austin 3. Fletcher, highway
engineer of San Diego county, being
unable to attend. In his letter accept
ing the appointment to the committee,
Mr.. Fletcher informed the supervisors
that If he served on the committee
1t would have to be, virtually, by
"proxy," as he would have to base his
report on the notes of the other mem
bers of the committee. Mr. Fletcher S
services were accepted in spite of this
fact, and his report, accordingly, will
be compiled from the findings OF the
other members of the committee.
The five members who will begin the
inspection of the road work this morn
ing are Joseph Scott, chairman; Roy
P Hillman, Perry w. Weidner. Henry
Hawgood and George M. Pearson of
Riverside. The last two are the only
engineers on the committee, excepting
Mr.. Fletcher who has not the time
to make a personal investigation. The
full scope of the pending investigation
will not be definitely known until the
committee has concluded its prelim-
mary tour of the highways and the
work has been thoroughly viewed.
Joseph Scott, president of the Los
Angeles chamber of commerce and
chairman of the committee, stated yes
terday that 1t had asked for the
charges filed by the advisory commit
tee, and also for the reply made by
the highway commission. and that
these documents probably will deter
mine the things to be investigated.
The members of the committee were
unable yesterday to state just how
long it will take to go over the road
work. and did not know whether the
entire highway system, or just that
portion of 1t under criticism, would be
Inspected. They stated, however, that
