IN9BR-ISbAND HAPPENINGS

two teachers in addition to the pres
ent staff of eight, to properly attend
to a roll of 21S pupils, how many
rooms, of what material, at what cost
how many additional teachers should
Paauhau get to look after 108 children,
the present staff being only two? A
handsome prize will be given for the
correct answer.
To expect two teachers to do justice
to 10S children in the shape of educa-
ton is an outrage.
The site of the school was present
ed by the plantation-the second room
was built free of charge by the
plantation, and the teachers house
was also provided by that bodyless
and soulless corporation.
Small Pox In Kona Now.
KOHALA, April 5.-The county has
leased DR.. Goohue's Kahaluu house to
use as an emergency hospital
A case of varioloid in Porto Rican
who came from Hamakua was discoy-
cred in a cottage between Kealakekua
and NapoopoO. The house is isolated,
being away from the others and the
patient is absolutely alone.
DR.. Goodhue, who saw the man just
as the eruption was breaking out, at
once put him in quarantine, secured a
nurse and police supervision. This
was on the 21st ult. On the 23rd, Mr..
Bowman of Hilo came over and found
everything satisfactory. So far as is
known there have been no exposures.
Expects Belt Road.
HILO, April 4.-Attorney Carl
Smith, who returned last week from
! Honolulu, believes from what he
Learned by watching the antics of the
Legislature, that a bill providing for
the issuance of bonds for the construc-
ton of belt road around this island
will become law, although he does not
believe that the issuance of as large
an amount as was at first contemplat.
ed will be allowed.
81 believe that we ought to have
some money from bonds issued by the
/ territory" said Mr.. Smith. The
county will undertake to repay the
money, which must be spent on the
roads. We ought to have 100000, as
was provided in the original bill, but
it looks at present more as if the
maximum amount would be about
100000. A bill providing for some
amount will without doubt become
law.
"The members from Kauai have be-
cause of long experience and superior
abilities as legislators become to a
large extent in control of legislative
matters, and they do not favor this
bill. Senator Fairchild, the chairman
of the ways and means committee of
the senate, is strongly opposed to the
measure, but he will without doubt
listen to argument. Chairman Rice of
the finance committee of the house
takes a very statesmanlike view Of the
whole subject, and, while regretting
the necessity of issuing bonds for this
purpose, and thereby adding to the
liabilities of the territory, he Is like
wise impressed with the many argu-
lnents in favor of the act. ! might
add that Alfonso, who is working hard
for this bill, is making good in the
Legislature and that he deserves much
credit from the community which he
represents"

LOCAL POLICE PRESENTED WITH
-FOUR FOOTED SHERLOCK HOLMES

Paul Isenberg yesterday handed
over to the care Of the police Ger
man police dog, answering to the name
of Tell, which, he claims, has done
good sleuth work in Germany. The dog
is not an intelligent looking animal,
seemingly of very timid disposition,
and when brought to the station by
Mr.. Isenberg it crouched behind him
as though loath to be taken over by
it's new masters. But Isenberg ex-
planned that the dog required some
time to accustom itself to its new sur
roundings and its new owners, and
that after a few days It would prob
ably show the fierce attributes which
are credited to it. Oficer Bergau, or
the detective force, has been made
personally responsible for the dog,
owing to the fact that the dog can
only understand German, and Bergau
is the linguist of the detective force
Mr. Isenberg instanced several OF the
dogs performances which he himself
witnessed. He stated that when tie
was first shown the dog he was told
to plant his handkerchief wherever ne
chose, and he did so, walking round

A New kohaIa Industry.

Kohala Midget: We learn that ar
rangements have been made to mar
ket the hundreds Of tons of ava root,
now unutilized, in the mountain about
Awini. The chief value of ava here
tofore has been for making a ferment-
ed, intoxicating drink, of which the
old Hawaiians were quite fond, before
the white mans fire water" came to
work it's discriminating mischief.
Mr.. C. M. Hudson, of Hilo, has dis
covered that ava root is worth $3.50
g. ton in New York for medicinal
purposes, and he has made a contract
with Mr.. Ernest Akina of Pololu, to
procure it for him. Mr. Akina offers
the natives $135 a ton for the root
delivered at Mahukona, whence it will
be shipped to Hilo and thence to New
York.
The regions whence the ava root
will come are inaccessible to vehicles.
It must be all packed to Pololu over
trails on the backs of mules and
horses. Some of these trails are very
dangerous-mere shelves on the
brink of pals a thousand feet and
more down, sheer and dizzy. To these
trails the root must be brought over
foot trails, on the backs of men.
Waterspout Reported.
Kohala Midget: The waterspout that
was seen BY number of Kohala peo-
pie, crossing the channel halfway be-
tween here and Maui, failed to make
a landing. Mr.. Crozier, who notified
Central to advertise it about the dis
trict, says that it appeared to be about
the Size of one of the royal, pot-bellied
palms in the Kohala Manse grounds.
1t moved majestically with the wind
towards the north, and without any
unsteadiness, which showed that it
was strictly on the water wagon. But
gyrating around it, was another, small
er spout, which was SO erratic in its
movements that it suggested 'alf-an-
'alf, or even stronger. Anyone finding
said spouts astray bearing any of the
aforesaid earmarks, will please notify
the Midget.
School Difficulties.
KOHALA, April 5.-The Filipino
night school at Kohala has thirty
pupils enrolled and has an average at
tendance of SO per cent.
The teacher of this school was a
student in a school in Manila, where
he lived with his uncle, when an i'm.
migration agent induced him to come
to Hawaii, with the promise that he
should have work in an office and go
to school at night. He left without
his uncle's knowledge, not wishing to
be dependent on his slender resources
He found conditions so different from
what the agent had pictured them
that he has too much OF the pride
taught by the Spaniard, to write back
and let his relative know that he is
doing manual labor on plantation
with no chance to study in school
He is saving his money, and hopes yet
to get an education-he is only
twenty.
The list of recommendations fol
schools in Hawaii makes the Paauhau
people wonder when their turn is tc

The new marquisette waists are
lovely. Many of them are embroider-
ed in colors.
Many skirts shows tunics that are
buttoned over at one side under rows
of buttons.
The seasons poke hats have been
ardently taken up by fashionable wo-
men who motor.
WaiStcoats or vests, some with
some without, revers are seen in
many of the new coats.
New skirts are over two inches
wide, but heavily weighted at hem to
maintain straight lines.
Girdles of cord represent something
like a rush of fashion, so far as the
spring season is concerned
Coronation red, Empire green and
Kings blue ties and belts will be
smart with the severe tailored waist.
Among the English and French i'm
portations in motoring millinery are
the saucy little tricornes and helmets.
Beautiful are the new embroidered
silk gloves; some are done in col
ors, others have tucks and embroid-
cry.
The new fad in corsets is "the nat

Collars of the Trouville type are
cut in square outline in front and

Coats are short but there is no def

six inches below.
From the hat to the boots includ-
ing all types of dresses and their ac-
cessories, the fact that stripes are
paramount is indisputable.
Read work is now occurring in at
tractive striped patterns, and en-
broidery shows alternating patches of
color arranged to give stripes.

Striped effects are now noticeable
in straw. Indeed, the stripes are
perhaps the most persistent of the
features that characterize our fash
ions this season.
Dots, stripes, checks are rampant,
and as q, rule in contrasting color to
the material. These decorations are
effectively combined with borders of
plain color.
The shapes favored for spring and
summer motoring include the low
resting toques and turbans, tricornes,
pokes caps, helmets, bonnets and va
rious hood effects.
The most desirable feather orna-
ments are in stiff brush or military
aigrettes, cockade and round rosettes
showing several colors tremendously
blended.
'Frocks, for the street are shown
with bright colors forming the bot
tom of the skirt. The same color
note is repeated in the collar and
cuffs on the little jacket.
Tiny boys wear soft white straw
hats with supple brim rolled up in
front and the moderate Mexican
crown, finished with scarf and bow
of soft taffeta ribbon.
Odd little TUNES are used to veil
lingerie frocks. Bright blue, coral,
black and white marquisette and chif-
fon are the materials. Filet lace and
beadwork are the favorite Ornamental

Revers and collar and cuffs are ef-
fective points for the use of the
striped silk Pipings of stripes cut
on the bias are also useful to give
brightne esq of line, especially on jack
cts and short coats.
Extremely large sailor collars will
be seen. They come in plain or COL

hand embroidered. Some have elon-

say, tailored overdFess of gauze.
The note of red, cerise, French blue
or emerald green is very often intro
duced into the black and white frock

silk or embroidery are also used az
trimmings; but some of the very best
looking trotting frocks in the black

relief, the color note being left to the
hat, parasol, etc., used with the frock.

Washington. May 9-Another Demo-
cratic measure, the Farmers Free List
Bill, took its place on the crowded
waiting list of the Senate, today, and
the House Ways and Means commit
tee took up the vexing question of
wool. The free list bill was slowly,

From present appearances the lead
ers will be forced to report a free
raw wool bill from the Ways and

on the wool schedule until next ses-
sion. If the Democratic experts now
at work declare that a reduction on
manufactured wool to Is per cent. ad

If the free wool passes the House,
however, it is believed certain that it
will strike a snag in the Senate.
