YOUNG LIFE IS
CRUSHED OUT

An automobile accident which
resulted i'll t h e almost instant
death of | tie seven-year-old
Matsuyo Shimada, occurred near
Koloa Saturday afternoon about
six o clock.
DR.. Waterhouse appeared on the
sCene almost Immediately after the
accident, and as the child had al
ready died allowed the parents to
take charge of the body.
To reporter, Mr.. Weber said:

old Drier place, when nv atten-
tlon was directed to a Japanese
woman who was approaching from
the opposite direction, driving a
vegetable wagon. As her horse
appeared to be inclined to enter
the road which would necessitate
her crossing in front of me, | ap-
piled the breaks and was moving
cautiously, prepared to stop in

''WOODMAN,
SPARE THAT
TREE" YES?

Is it legal for school children to
cut trees which they have grown
in the school grounds and sell the
wood, using the proceeds to buy
needful articles for their school?
If the children planted said trees,
patiently cared for them for fifteen
long years, should they not be en-
titled to the trees?
In the old Hanapepe university
grounds several large trees have
grown up within the last fifteen
years, having been planted and at
tended by he school children.
Supervising Principal II H L.
Brodie, thinking that some benefit,
could be had from the sale of these
trees, successfully disposed of a
number of them, and with the pro-
ceeds, purchased a phonograph and
records.
Now he is in pilikia however,
II d must obey a mandate to
touch not single bough. " 1t
seems that the land occupied by
the old school is under lease to
Gay & Robinson, who on learn
ing of Mr.. -Brodie's plans, served
notice on the veteran educator to
desist from h s money making
plan, as h e lessees considered
themselves entitled to them. Some
question has also been raised as to
the legal right of the County of
Kauai to remove the old buildings,
but since the Board of Supervisors
have authorized this, it is not like
iy it would do so without making
satisfactory arrangements with all
parties concerned.

Would Fix Kilauea Road, Too

EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND:
While you are criticising the
road crossing proposition why not
give a line or two to the road
through the Kilauea Plantation,
where at painfully short intervals,
one is sent skyward rs the car
passes over raised ridges.
CRITICUs.
For the simple reason that in
the above vicinity no attempt has
as yet been made at road building
while on this side, we have
miles of which is conceded to be
the best road in the Territory, and
to permi t destructive crossings,
would and should bring a censor
ship on those responsible for the
protection of such roads. Within
another year, we will likely have q
maCadam road through Kilauea,
and if Jack Myers doesn't main
tain good crossings through his
plantation, it will be the first oC,
casion wherein he has ever failet
to do all or more than. has Jeer
expected of him.

KAUAI MOUNTAIN
YIELDS UP GOLD


citement prevails here as the result
OF a report brought TO town this
afternoon TO the effect that party
OF Kamehamcha school teachers
w h 0 have been encamped near
kumuwela had found gold to the
value OF some sixty dollars or more
during their five weeks stav OIL
the mountain. In speaking of the
find Miss Post, w h O displayed
fifteen dollars of almost pure gold
as her share of the find. said:
Part of us would cook while the
rest dug for gold. 1t was jolly
tun though many a sigh was
heard when, fter a hundred
pounds or so Of dirt had been care
fully sifted with 10 trace of the
yellow metal. However, all sighs
were replaced with interest and
rem ew ed inclination to dig
when one of the girls made a find.
On one occasion we had labored
tor fully three hours with hat pins,
hair pins, bread knife, scissors.
etc, when a shrek (Which always
signalized a find) rent the still
mountain air, and all investigation
proved that one of the party had
struck a deposit worth just exactly
fifteen dollars. We staked our
claims and have decided to keep
our discovery a profound secret"
concluded the petit speaker.
Miss Roe of the department of
music, was very enthusiastic over
her mountain vacation. We had
such lot of neighbors. said Miss
Roe. A wild hen made friends
with us on the second day we
were there, bringing her little ones
around for food every day. We
learned where she roasted and
sounds of distress which foated in
to our wigwam late one night in
dlcated that others also had located
biddy'S retreat. Further evidence
of her difficulty was found in a
bunch of feathers the next morn
ing where we were accustomed to
seeing her. Wild cats and dogs
were numerous, but we had a big
4 gun with which we were all fami-
liar having had it swung with
blue ribbon across the corner of
the tent. In addition to the gun,
each girl was provided with we'll
known and extremely dangerous
| 1,a y, Il
hat pin, salt shakes, or pepper
boxes, ETC., all of which were kept
where they could lay their hands
OIL them at a moments notice.
Talk about bravery! Why t he
bravery of our girls was simply
marvellous. Let me tell you
bout our garden, chirpped in an
other sweet voice. We grew
lettuce, raddishes, tomatoes, sweet
corn, sweet why, yes of
course-it was all done i II five
weeks. The wild begonias and
roses were simply gorgeous, and
every one of us had the greatest
= time imaginable. One of the
, Chlet attractions to my mind, said
= another, was the delightful swim
ming pool About 3 p. M. we
would HE ourselves down to this
pool and from the large smooth
boulders which protruded from
out the sparkling water, we would
take a plunge into its depths.
Several of these stones are to be
,, found in the pool, on top of which
we would sit as SO many turtles,
summing ourselves to Our hearts
content. We came down today,
each riding a broncho which per-
sisted in chasing imaginary cattle.
The entire distance (25 miles)
was covered in FIVE or six hours
and sorry as we were TO depart
from our mountain home (and
gold mine) the city of Waimea
looked mighty good to us. ="
