BOY SCOUTS ON THE
FIRST HIKE TO
COUNTRY
Have Delightful 0uting-LOcate imaginary
And Various Wild Animals-Don't
Like Rest-Cme

The Boy Scouts conducted their
first campaign this last week. They
hit the trail at o o'clock Wednes-
day morning Kamooloa and
though this trail was, for much of
the way broad macadamized road
they were as full of enthusiasm and
adventure as though it had been a
trail across the rockies. Every old
COW by the roadside was a possible
bear, every distant Jap suggested
an Indian, every dusty hollow an
abuscade, out of which the enemy
might suddenly spring. About
hours Of diligent "hoofing it
brought them to the camp in
t thi s case a mountain cottage
where the Scout master was await
ing th III wi tn commissariat
supplies. An animated discussion
followed as to how much water
should be allowed to 2 cups of
rice the suggestions ranging from
2 to 20 cups. A compromise of 8
was adopted which wasn't far out.
After lunch siesta of one hour
was ordered, and endured with
much fortitude. The silencel acked
something of perfection. d.
A fishing expedition arranged
for the afternoon brought home
eloquent rumors but no real fish
nd two or three heads of excellent
wild taro.
At night around the extemporiz-
ed camp, five Boy Scout exploits i'll
other lands were related and the
purposes of the movement were ex-
planned, until, at 9 o'clock the
order lights out imposed silence
and sleep.
Among other interests of the
next day was the plant hunt-2o
minutes to bring in the most plants.
So was the highest number.
The hardest strain on the condi-
ton of implicit obedience was the
silence of the rest hour, and one or
two boys bubbled over so badly
that they were ordered, by way of
discipline, to carry home their
blankets which they did in manly
though shame faced fashion.
They would like to have staid
longer, but the art of camping is to
stop while they wish there was
more of it-there will be more Of
it another time,

Looking on h a monument
fully as much memorial after it
had been unveiled by Mrs. c. NJ.
Cooke, what thinking mind could
doubt that it will be a very strong
although silent, force for contin-
uous good, For there it stood re-
vealed, a noble work of art, in the
highest, best sense of the word, eX-
cellent in execution, but more ex-
ceiling in the height and depth
and nobility of conception, and yet
withal, so sweetly and tounchingly
simple,
The dominant notes in the har-
mony of the design are love and
faith and hope as expressed by the
Christian religion: and let the Gym

MRS. J. K. GANDALL
ENTERTAlNS AT TEA

One Of the most delightful social
events Of the season was the after
noon tea given by Mrs. J. K.
Gandall on Friday afternoon last.
Chairs and tables were set out on
the lawn under the shade of the
fine old trees, and there Mrs. Can
dali received her guests with such
easy and natural grace that every.
one felt at home at once and en-
tered cordially into the spirit of the
occasion. The refreshments, which
added to the interest of the event
we're of the most delicious quality
and the table appointments delicate
and artistic, It was a most en-
joyable and congenial affair and the
ladies were loath to leave.

In the name and for the sake of
our Lord and Master-Amen," "
At the conclusion of the prayer,
Rev, Hans Isenberg delivered the
following explanation of the monu-
nienti
Rev. Hans lsenbergs Address.
My dear friends, l have been
asked to give you some eXplana-
ton about this monument which
is to be unveiled presently, True
works of art do not require lengthy
explanations, for they are clear
and intelligable to every one,
They attract and delight our
eyes by their beauty and appeal to
our minds,
They move and touch our hearts
and reveal the deepest truth often
hidden to us, most distinctly, and
| bring it home to MS more power
fully than the words of the most
eloquent orator. l trust it will be
so with this monument, the work
of true artist. / trust it will be
clear and intelligable, and power
full, and helpful, l hope it will
draw many of our people to come
hither and sit down on this bench,
let the eyes rest on this work of
art, enjoy the beauty and receive
the help we so often need for our
hearts and minds,
Il will therefore say only few
words of guidance that may be
helpful at the first aspect,
"On the high stele of the monu'
ment, you will see large pro-
cession of various people--the pro-
cession of the human race that
goes on constantly at the order of
death. You will see some aged
and worn, their labors fulfilled,
tired and willing to follow the call,
but also many strong and vigorous,
called away from the midst of their
work, and others in the prime of
life-a young wife and mother
looking back with a sad face-sad
to be called away from her young
husband and her helpless babies;-
you will see young children in the
procession, tender buds, broken by
cruel death before they had time tC
bloom. And at the foot of the higt
stele you will see the effect of this
| work Of death. Two figures

sentences, the Rev Hans Isenberg
explained the reasons and objects
that had animated the donors from
first to last, and then in short ad-
dress, most happily fitting to the
occasion, i'll language so simple
that every child present could an
derstand, in words eloquent by
their very simplicity, he dwelt on
the value of works of art in influ-
encing for good, the lives of men
and women, in silently appealing
to their hearts and uplifting their
minds to a clearer and truer per
ception of the works of the Great
Architect of the Universe. Thus
emphasizing by his remarks-per-
haps all unconsciously-the sweet
sentiment of the poet Keats:

CAN'T. STAND EERS
AND FLIES TO DEATH

A Kansas Aviator who refused to
fly in the teeth of a prevailing wind
storm, was jeered by the crowd
who had gathered to witness the
fight. Being unable to bear the
rebukes longer, he made the fight
and when at a dizzy height fell and
was instantly killed. Kansa S
boasts of having no saloons, but a
crowd of teetotlers who take fendiAh
delight in goading man TO his
death is certainly far from being
any improvement on a drunken
crowd hf hoodlums.

but to comfort and reassure US, to
strengthen our faith and hope in
light and life eternal; to believe
that the victory is ours, in spite of
all the affliction-death swallowed
up, is victory, through Jesus
Christ Our Lord" "

Mrs, c. NJ, Cooke, in an i'm
pressive and dignified manner, then

HANALEI, Sept. 1st. Peter Ka-
nihaalilo, a laborer in the road gang
working on the Hanalei grade, came
near losing his life to-day when a
piece of earth under which he was
tunneling, gave way, burrying him
completely. A wheel barrow, which
he had taken into the excavation
was at his side when the cave in
occurred and in some manner h c
was thrown beneath it before the
earth came down.
When found, his head lay under
the wheel barrow, which fact saved
his life.
He was taken to his home a II d
medical aid summoned, and ex-
animation revealed severe bruises
but no broken bones.

ARMY SURVEYS NEAR SALEM
War Department Has Experts Trac-
ing Out Topography Of Country.

A military map is now being made
of the territory north of Salem. The
department of war now has a detail Of
ten soldiers, all skilled military engi-
neers, sketching the topography Of the

tour Of the surface, locating bridges,
fords, and noting points of advantage
from a military point of view.
When completed, copy of these
maps will be filed with the chief army
engineer at San Francisco and copy
forwarded to the war department at
