ALEWA IMPROVEMENT CLUB
PASSES SUCCESSFUL YEAR

ed. 1t means that the lower lots are
now worth from $1,000 to $500 per
acre, which is a low estimate when
compared with prices being obtained
for much less desirable property in
other sections of the city.
We have just reason to be proud of
these facts. Making all due allowance
for natural advantages and attractive
ness of location, Alewa must have
been today a very different kind of a
place from what it is, with a less
energetic and united class of citizens.
1t was these characteristics which
brought Alewa Improvement Club into
being, and it is through the constant
efforts of this organization that we
have been able to make our commun-
ity what it is. Just stop and imag-
inc for a moment how we should have
Jared without it, How much roadway
would we probably now have, had we
waited for the government to remem-
Der its promises in this connection?
Would we have the splendid water
system we now enjoy without it's
energetic endeavors? Would we have
gas, and electric lights and telephone
service? Perhaps. But l. for one be-
lieve we would still be waiting for
most of these things. And since these
are the things which largely make a
residence section, it follows that the
Alewa Improvement Club deserves in
large measure the credit for making
Alewa Heights what it is today.
During the year just passed we
have made progress. We have seen
the completion of another section of
road macadamizing. While there was
some criticism of the manner in
which this work was done, still we
now have a road which is clean in all
weather, and as the traffic over it is
not heavy it should remain in reason
ably good condition for a long time
to come. Moreover, through the eff
forts of this club we were able to get
proper bitches and culverts put in,
which had not been provided when
the road was built; which already
have saved portions of the road from
being destroyed by the very heavy
storms of last winter. We had six
street lights on the Hill a year ago.
Now we have sixteen, and every part
of the residence section is reasonably
well lighted. You have to thank, for
these additional lights, your light

Tomorrow night The Star will pub.
lish the list of candidates nominated
for its great subscription contest. The
list is quite a big one and shows that
there will be many workers. This
means that the contest will be a quick
one, the field being rapidly worked
over.
1t is not too late yet TO get a nomi-
nation in and start with the first
workers. There are not enough active
candidates out yet to make the case
discouraging for a new entry, In fact
as the period for first nominations
closes, it seems more and more GER
tain that there will be a prize for
every hustler.
The other islands" are going after
the big prizes and, incidentally, they
have side contests of their own. These
are the special trips offered for Ha-
wall Maui and Kauai contestants.
They are in the nature of special sec
ond prizes on those islands. For eX-
ample if q contestant leads on Maui,
and wins one of the first ten prizes,
the trip award will go to the second
Maui contestant. The same applies to
East and West Hawaii, and to Kauai
Some of the early local nominations
will be shown on the moving picture
screen at the Biiou theater tonight.
The list includes a number of we'll
known people.

NEW LEPER LEGISLATION
HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN FIJI

Fiji, at last accounts, was having
a new leper ordinance introduced in
the legislative council. 1t would re-
peal the ordinance of 1899 as amend
ed in 1907. From an article in the
Western Pacific Herald the follow
ing provisions of the new enactment
are gathered
The governor is empowered to pro-
hibit by notification in the Govern
ment Gazette, the carrying on by a
leper of certain calings, including
those of baker, butcher, cook, wash
erman, tailor barber, domestic ser
want, nurse, midwife, hawker, hack
ney-carriage driver, or any calling akin
to the same. Any leper violating such
prohibitions is to be committed to a
leper asylum. Any person knowing
ly employing a leper in prohibited call
ing is liable to a fine of G5 or one
months Imprisonment. Any person
convicted of yagrancy and found to
ne Il ltptl may NC NOllLlllNNN " 81
leper asylum. Any leper entering a
public vehicle, lodging in q hotel,
boarding house or lodging house, or
bathing in a public bath, also incurs
the penalty of commitment to a leper
asylum.
The governor is empowered to es-
tabIsh leper asylums for the recep-
ton and detention of lepers. Purchas-
ing or receiving food, clothing or any
other articles from any inmate of a
leper asylum incurs a maximum penal
.ty Of $40 fine and two months hard
labor Every person found within the
limits of leper asylum without law
full authority is liable to a e5 fine.
The governor may appoint any med
ical officer having charge of a leper
asylum to exercise all the powers of
stipendiary magistrate therein with
respect to offences by inmates and
may make, alter or revoke rules for
the custody and Imprisonment within

CANDIDATES AND
THEIR PROSPECTS

Candidates who are in nomination
may obtain receipt books at The Star
office, contest department. The de-
partment IS ready to answer all ques-
tons and give all proper assistance to
every candidate. The rules have been
designed to give all an equal chance
and the contest will be managed so
that every contestant will have an alb
solutely square deal
The list of contestants is a very
satisfactory one. Under the rules of
the contest it is pretty certain that
more of those who hustle will not fail
to get some reward for their efforts.
In addition to the prizes already listed
others will probably be offered.
Of course the big race is for the
prize of $4,000 in gold coin. That is
a prize that will make someone very
happy after a few weeks work. But
the second prize-a residence lot in
Kaimuki-and the third, $500 cash in
a savings bank, and the other prizes
all down the list, are worth a lot of
working for.
Which island will get the big prizes
is a matter of some doubt. Oahu has
the larger population, of course, but
then she mas more candidates who are
hustling and they will divide the big
Oahu vote, thus evening up the
chances.

Curious Old Legend.

Here is a curious legend Of Cologne.
Once upon a time there was burgo-
meister Of the town whose wife died
and was buried. In the evening
thieves, seeking to take jewels from
the dead, opened the coffin. Now it
happened that the woman was not
dead, but In a trance, and when the
thieves broke into her burial place she
awoke and went to her home. There
she called a servant, who ran in fear
to his master and told him what had
happened. The scared burgomeister
replied to this, II would sooner believe
that my horses were looking out of
the top floor window than believe that
such thing could be-" Scarcely had
the words left his mouth than he
heard horses galloping up the stairs.
In memory of this and of the return
of his wife he had two horses heads
In stone set In a top floor window of
his house, where they remain to this
day.
