GRAHAM BABY DIES.
Former MarshaIItown Girl Loses In
FAINT Son at Conrad, Mont.

In a letter received today by Mr..
and Mrs. R. f. Sears, 102 North Sec
ond street, from their son-in-law, r..
NJ. Graham, at Conrad, Mont, the
death Of Edward Sears Graham, the
infant son born to Mr.. and Mrs. Gra-
ham on Aug. I, was announced to have
occurred on the 10th. The information
was sent by letter in order to save
as much as possible the shock that
would result from the sad news.
Mr. Graham writes that the babe
was considered as doing well, and was
asleep in it's little bed. When the
nurse went to look at it. to see that
everything was well, she found the
little one dead. The attending physi-
clan ascribed the cause Of: death to
the rupture of blood vessel in the
brain.
Mrs Graham, who was formerly
Miss Edna Sears Of this city, is doing
as well as could be expected consid-
ering the terrible shock Of her baby's
death. Despite the fact that the news
was broken as gently as possible to
Mr.. and, Mrs. Sears, 1t proved a severe
shock, and there is deep grief in the
Sears household. This was the first
grandchild of Mr.. and Mrs. Sears.

WA1MEA, March 3 3.-That either
the County of Kauai has more oil
than it knows what to do with or
that it has a man who doesn't un-
derstand how to apply it, was clear
ly indicated one day last week,
when the Waimea hill was so flood
ed with oil that great pools gather
ed on the road. Five accidents on
this road during the afternoon, the
result of this condition, is further
indication of the folly of careless
ness upon the part of those in
charge. One automobile was lit
terally smashed, another b a d. y
damaged, sulky was smashed into
by another car which, owing to the
slippery condition of the road could
not be controlled, a truck got hung
up, and Mrs. Ben Baldwin, wife oi
Manager Ben Baldwin of Maka'
we'll, was EXTREMITY frightened 70,
fear her driver would lose contro
of her machine, so badly did il
skid.
All these accidents could havs
been prevented by the use of little
common sense in applying the oil
Just why half Of the road was no
first oiled and allowed to dry before
beginning the other half is hard tC
explain. However, u h ex
planation should not be difficult 70,
the Board of Supervisors and as ;
matter of fact, it is up to thes'
same gentlemen to give just bi
more time to the proper carrying
out of the Boards instructions.

is too sandy for healthy vegetable
growth so the boys have carried in
soil from outlying districts, added
fertilizer, turned on the water and
presto change-beautiful vege-
table gardens dot the landscape
surrounding the school house.
Here, too we found the first open
air" school room we had ever
seen, and after close inspection
concluded it was about as near the
ideal school building as one could
find. Briefly described the room
is about 80 feet square, has a
6 foot wall all around, above which
is an opening Of about four feet.
The roof extends far enough to
prevent rain from entering and the
opening of four feet all around Cat
the top of the wall) gives the ad
vantage Of an equal light through
out the entire room. This opening
is placed high enough to pre-
vent the children from seeing out
and does away with draughts as
we'll. The lumber (1x12) which
forms the walls Is dressed on the
interior side and two or three
coats of blackboard preparation is
applied which, when hardened, be-
comes a serviceable board, The
solid wall affords a blackboard
which encircles the room without a
break, save the space occupied by
the door. Such house, we were
told was constructed for the sum of
$4,000. 1t strikes us that the
constructing of number of these
school rooms would be worth the
consideration of tn e Board of
Supervisors.
On Friday we had the pleasure
of paying our respects to the Wal

but this misfortune was partly
atoned for in the delight we ex

those who compose the teaching

which is being done. The very
