HANALEYS BEAUTIFUL CHURCH ED|F|CE

In Waioli, the beauty spot of
the Garden Island, a few yards to
the left of the old building, a lit
tie church is receiving its finish
ing touches. The building of this
structure has been the center of
attraction in the community ever
since the Christmas holidays; and
last week while Mr.. Haynes, the
carpenter, was putting in the win
dows, every passer-by was drawn
by an irresistible impulse to halt,
and linger in admiration of this
exquisite creation of art and skill
The building is modern and up
to date, the style of architecture
being Gothic with a Roman Doric
The main front, which is a gable,
is largely filled with an immense
stained glass window with point
ed arch. To the right is the
belfry, below which are two en-
frances, one in front and one at
the side, above Zach being a
Gothic arch of stained glass. To
the left of the main front, and a
few feet back, is another front en-
trance like the one just mentioned
but smaller; and in the rear, at
the right, is an entrance consist
ing of single door. Easy cement
steps, which the most aged can
ascend without fatigue, lead up to
each portal.

SCORE OF KAUAHS
PRETTY GIRLS ENTER
BIG AUTO CONTEST

More than a score of bright and
energetic young ladies have been
nominated i'll our big thousand
dollar automobile contest. THE
GARDEN ISLAND is proud of this
list, as it consists of some of the
most popular and most desirable
girls III the Territory, and we wish
to say right here, that THE GAR
DEN ISLAND is going to keep up
its end of the stick by doing all in
its power to aid contestants. The
contest is being conducted on an
absolutely fair and square basis
and no candidate will have the
slightest advantage over another
Is there young lady OH Kauai
who would not be proud Of an
automobile, a gold watch, or any
other of the valuable prizes we are
giving, when won through her
energy? We know, and you know,
there is not. Public approval and
admiration are always held in re-
serve for the person who accom-
plishes deeds out of the ordinary.
Any one knows that to simply buy
an auto is today a very ordinary
transaction, but all recognize the
fact that when car is won by the
popularity route, something out
of the ordinary happens and the
fortunate winner becomes the sub
ject of wholesale admiration.
Be one of the live ones. Start
now and see how easy it will be to
win.
The Way To Win

WA|MEA IS INDEED
A MUCHLY DRY
TOWN

No water for drinking pur-
poses, bathing or fighting fire,
making poi or for any other of tn e
thousand and one things, for days
at time, with the superintendent
up mauka doing carpentering, 1"
was the way one prominent bust
ress man described the water situa-
ton i'll speaking to a reporter one
day last week. We Waimea peo-
pie" he continued" pay our water
rates, but much of the time not a
drop of water can we get. 1t has
reached the point where something
must be done. We get no assist
ance from the superintendent, who
replies to our request for better
service by saying that the planta-
tions cut us off. The plantations
when seen say that all Mr., lone,
has to do is notify them when the
water is cut off and they will at
once order it turned on again from
the mauka ditch. So there you
are. We are tired of the humbug
and won't stand it any longer"
Numerous inquiries were made
for the purpose OF. substantiating
the above assertion and we them re-
gret to say that in every instance
we learned that the speaker had
voiced the sentiment of the entire
community. If the present sup
ply of water depends entirely on
the generosity of the plantations,
it can naturally be seen since the
continued drowth in that section,
why they are so particular about
letting go what little they have
in storage. 1t would probably be
very expensive to go in for a
private water source for Waimea
but under the circumstances it
would appear to be about the only
CO urse to pursue. The Board of
supervisors will probably take the
matter up at their next meeting
and in some way, bring about
relief. People must have water
and that the matter will receive
the prompt attentionof the Board
the pepole of Waimea can rest as
sured.

Col. Geo. French returned to
Honolulu on last Tuesday after
finishing what he states was the
most successful series OF meetings
ever held by him on Kauai. Ar
irving on Fridays boat, accom-
lpanied by Major Willis of Homo.
A,lu, they climbed on the mail
stage for Waimea and held meet
inqs there in the Hawaiian Church.
On Sunday morning the Colonel
spoke first to the Hawaiian Sun
dav School in Lihue, t h en- to a
union meeting in the Llhue Foreign
Church, his remarks at both SER
vices being of great interest to the
congregations. Saturday evening
Sunday afternoon and night, SER
vices were held in Koloa, the Hall
there being filled to its uttermost
capacity. T h e closing meeting
Monday was a musicale, in which
DIR, and Mrs. Waterhouse, Mrs.
Henry Blake, and the Koloa Church
choir ably led by Judge Kapallee
and a Filipino orchestra took part:
The Colonel then gave a report OF
the Army's work in the Territory
during which he stated that the
work had advanced OH all lines
since his last visit, and read the
following figures:

hue in the color scheme is a rich
walnut brown, h e doors, ap-
parently Of real walnut, being
somewhat darker; while the same
color several shades lighter, serves
for the trimmings. The walls from
the windows down, and inclosing
the foundation, are dark brown,
rejecting a faint suggestion of
purple. Shallow inches II the
belfry above the portals, are done
in a dull cherry, harmonizing nice
ly with the surrounding color;
and the neatly shingled roof is
finished in dainty slate color.
The windows, all of stained
glass, with Gothic arches, are
works of art upon which the eyes
ever delight to feast. AS viewed
from the outside, they present a
beautiful sight, rejecting the va
rious shades of green and blue and
brown, blending pleasinglv with
each other; but as seen from the
interior, with their background of
light from the outside, they are
simply gorgeous, rejecting all the
colors of the rainbow intensified.
This beautiful structure is the
gift of Mr.. A. S. Wilcox to the
Hawaiian church of Hanalei. Mr..
Wilcox has taken especial interest
in the building of it, and has given
it good deal of personal super
vision from first. Long may he
live to continue to bless humanity

''4l5" DESCRIBES A
TRIP ABOARD 5.
5. K|NAU

1t is not often that l travel, not
even as far as Honolulu and so l
am not very familiar with the ways
of the Inter Island steamers.
But when 1 do spend night on
one of them certain simple ques-
tions fill my mind with an unprof-
table wonder.
That the state rooms are small +,
uncomfortable and badly ventilated
may be one of the inevitable condi-
tons of sea faring.
Freight carrying space is too va
luable to waste on passengers; but
why is it that only 3 small hooks
are allowed to one of these rooms
accommodating two or even three
passengers? When the unfortu-
nate inmate gets ready to retire
he finds that he has difficult pro-
blem on his hands to dispose of
his apparel for the night. Hat,
coat, vest, collar, cuffs, shirt,
trousers, etc. must all find a place
| on that one hook and half, SO as
to leave fair division of the space
for his room mate.
Naturally the hook and a half
is over worked and more or less of
the clothing assortment falls onto
the floor, and more or less of it is
trodden under foot of men.
l suppose it SINNERS down to
question Of dividends Y Il
can't have dividends and hooks too,
and the ordinary man prefers to
take his in dividends. Count me
as a crank if you will, but why
not take a very thin shaving off a
dividend and put it into hooks in
the cabins, whereon the tidy pas
senger may hang his modest be-
longings wnen he sleeps?
In the good old days our New
England mothers put their sheets
and pillow casses away in lavender
whence they came forth for the
use of the guest deliciously fresh
and fragrant. In Scotland | sup
pose heather bloom for the same
purpose. I wonder what degene-
rate brand of heather bloom the

1000 FEET Of STAVE
PIPING PLACED
IN TUNNEL

A wood Stave pipe 7 ft. in
diameter and 1000 ft. long is be-
ing constructed in the mountain
back of McBryde as a lining for
the so called Farley" tunnel. This
tunnel which leads the water out
of the Wahiawa Stream to t h e
Reservoir system, has been caving
in and washing out for years and
this pipe is to remedy this evil.
One of the serious problems involv-
ed has been back filling the great
voids around the pipe where the
material had been washed out. The
work is in the competent hands of
J. L. Robertson.
