Lihue Tennis Court

A tennis court is to be construct
ed, (according to rumor) in the
near future on the grounds occu-
pied by the Lihue school teachers
cottages. For some time much
comment has been heard on the
establishment Of a tennis court
conveniently situated for the ac-
comodation Of our local tennis
experts, and now it seems that
Miss Mumford has come to the
rescue with an offer of part of her
yard for just such a purpose. We
understand that the Lihue teach
ers number among them not a few
experts, any or all of whom may
cause some of our local champs to
guard we'll their laurels.

COUNTY WORK
IS PROGRESSING

That the construction of til e
county's bridges is progressing in
a most satisfactory panner is in
dicated by the report made by
County Engineer Moragne at las;
MONDAYS meeting Of the Loan
Fund Board. In reporting, Mr..
Moragne said in part. The Waipa
bridge has been finished and ac-
cepted at this meeting, the bridges
in the Hanalei District viz: the XII
lauea, Waiole and Waikoko bridges
will be completed by the end of the
year and open for traffic. Mr..
Haggerty will commence work on
the foundations and approaches to
the Kealia Steel bridge at once,
and the Anahola Hill will be COM
pleted sometime during the month
of December. "
What with this very satisfactory
progress in bridge and grade work,
the macadamizing going on to an
equally satisfactory degree which,
if the rocks" hold out, vii, COM
plete pieces Of road for which
every traveller will utter up a
PRAYER of thankfulness to our
worthy county fathers and engi-
neer.

What Does 1t Mean?

According to Associated Press re-
ports, the toll rate for traffic
through the Panama Canal will be
81. 40 per ton. Now, then, the
question has arisen as to just what
this whether the tonnage of
the vessel or the freight car1ying
capacity of the ship, In as much
as all ships do not carry freight the
contention of some that the tonnage
of the vessel only is meant, would
seem proper. Yet, the contention
by others that freight tonnage was
meant, and that some special pro-
visions for war vessels and passen-
ger traffic will be made, also seems
possible. Perhaps some of ou r
readers would like to express an
opinion on the subject.

Doubtful Macadam

From Kekaha comes complaint
that the nacadam recently COM
pleted on the Kekaha road will not
stand the results of a rain storm;
that the work was not properly
done, owing to the haste in it's &C
complishment. and that their Super
visor Gay would prove much more
profitable to the electors of his
district if he could be induced to
pay closer attention to his duties as
such. 1t is said that he sailed for
the coast on election dav, and
further, that his nonattendance at
the regular monthly meetings of the
Board of Supervisors, has been
cause for considerable comment.
If these rumors are without
foundation, evidence Of sue h
should be very easily obtainable,
but if they are based upon facts,
then Mr.. Gay not only owes it to
himself to look after the best in
terests of those who faithfully sup
ported him in securing his position
but he owes every consideration to
those selt-some constituents. The
voters of Waimea indicated their
confidence in Mr.. Gay in re-elect-
ing him as their Supervisor, and
now, at least he can show his
appreciation by attending meetings
and otherwise fulfilling his duty as
Supervisor. If his business in
terests prevent such, then let him
step down and out that some one
who may be able TO do so may take
the position,

ON SCHOOLS
To the Editor of THE GARDEN

To the Editor of THE GARDEN
ISLAND.
In your issue of Nov. 12.h. |
noticed an article about the I,ihue
School written by Mr.. Lydgate. |
want to thank Mr.. Lydgate for
taking his time and showing this
interest II our schools aud for
stating to the people what he has
seen. Just colnmendation and pub
lie approval of the work a person
is doing a stronger incentive than
dollars. wish that more of our
educated, thoughtful people would
visit Our schools. Our teachers ate
doing good work and take pride
in it and are glad to have visitors.
Every complimentary word said
in the article is true and the same
can be said of many other schools
on Kauai and in the same degree
it there was only the pen to make
it public.
Our schools have made pro-
gress in the past few years which
has been due to various causes.
Chief among them h s been a
better system of organization of
work and of help to the teacher
both in the matter of the work of
the teacher and the method of
doing il; again, we have body OF
professionally qualified teachers
which we did not have, few years
ago, especially in the primary
grades; again, our teachers are
better paid and are willing to stay
with the work and others are en-
courged to fit for the professions;
and further, Our local seni-control
of schools, as represented by our
Board of Supervisors, has given
us the needed room which we
have never had previous to this
year. And lastly, there is spirit.
a pride, devotion that makes the
teacher artful in her work; doubt
if you will find body of teachers
more artful, in primary work
especially, than you find >right
here on our little Island of Kauai.

Cold And Dry

All records for rough weather
were smashed to smithereens last
week when the Niihau which sailed
from Hanalei on Friday, in the
teeth of gale, reached Honolulu in
little more than twenty-seven
hours of continual struggle. At
about the same time the S. S.
Kauai left Hilo for Honolulu which
it succeeded in reaching after an
effort of twenty-eight hours. Of.
ficers declare that while the gale
was of brief duration, it was the
stiffest they have encountered in
many day.

M|STR|AL AGAIN
CAUSE Of DELAY

A law suit involving an eighth
OF an interest in a piece of real
estate in Hanalei, and appearing
OH the calendar as William Uuku
VS.. Elizabeth Kaio and Miss Elsie
Kapu. and one which to 90 into
details, would require the aid of a
Philadelphia lawyer, resulted in a
mistrial last week after the Jury
had speut all Saturday afternoon
in its deliberations.
The great difficulty in settling
the matter, seems to rest in the
fact that much of the evidence is to
be obtained through such indef-
mite sources. The case is one
wherein many years ago, a certain
wealthy woman married a young
man to whom she decided all of her
property. Soon after, the wife
died, and when the husband pass
ed away and it was discovered
that he had made his will in favor
of his children, the relatives of
his late wife, brought charges to
the effect that the deed to the
husband bv his wife should be
set aside and considered valueless,
a the same was made under
pressure from the husband, and
that she had executed the deed
through fear for her life, h e
charge being made by friend of
the husband and wife, and the
one through whom the deed was
transferred from wife to husband.
AS both were then dead, the rel
atives evidently thought they had
a cinch on the property and got
bgsy. After many attempts to un-
tangle the legal nets surrounding
the elSase, Judge Hardy, rendered
an opinion in favor of the relatives
: of the wife
Not feeling satisfied with this
decision, the plaintive went to the
Supreme Court, where Judge Hart
we'll over-ruled the opinion of the
Circuit Judge, holding that the
deeds, documents, nor even the
one mans evidence, were sufficient
grounds for an opinion in favor of
defendants. The case was there
fore reopened and according to the
present outlook, will remain 50 in
definitely, as the mistrial at this
term has resulted in a postpone
ment of the case until the March
term of the Circuit Court. The
sum of S187 90 was spent for jury
fees alone in the trial which ended
in a mistrial Saturday. F ur h r
complication have been added i'll
this famous case by the appearance
of one Kaupena, who also claims
an eighth interest in the land, and
whose chief points are so depen-
dent upon the same testimony as
given in the first case, that Judge
DfcNey tried the two cases COM
bined.
Attorney Lymer appeared for the
plaintiff, while Attorney Alexander
Lindsay appeared for defendant.
