Elements needed to stir up the
stock market and put an end TO its
sIuggishness were not present this
week. Buying and selling were slow
end far between and prices did not
fluctuate TO any degree. And the
trading which was done came In small
lots and as a rule It involved cheap
stocks.
While the stockholders are COM
planning, the realty men are giving
Lnt encouraging reports. Though they
do not say that big deals have been
made, they do say that the real estate
market has improved. and Is improv-
ing and that its future is bright.
One Of the interesting deals Of the
year was given the final stamp Fri
day when the Waiahole Water Com
rany put q conveyance from L. L. Nc
Candies. his wife and the Waskane
Water Company on record. BY this
instrument all the water rights held
by McOandless are transferred 20 the
WaIahole company. II has been known
for quite q while that this was to be
done. but the details OF the tTansac-
ton are made known now for the first
time. The consideration for the trans
fer Is given in the instrument as $2o7.-
500. the first payment, amounting to
$4,000, having been paid on tine exc

$4,000 each. McCandless owns all
but five shares In the Waikane COM
pany. so II is virtually the turning
over Of all his interests to the Waia-
hole corporation.
In the six-day period ending Friday.
Sf2.662.75 OF business was done in
stocks, the total number of stocks sold

That was Oahu Sugar: It rose a quar-
ter Of point. Three stocks, how
ever, changed hands at prices In ad-
vance or decline Of those prices OBJ

Closing of the Boyd School.

The closing exercises of the Boyd
school, near Salters, were held Friday
! afternoon, May 9, in the grove of
pine and oak in front of the ideally
situated school house near the an
cestral home of Drs N and w S
Boyd. The joy of the occasion was
shadowed by the departure of the
much loved teacher. Miss Minnie
McFadden, and we all hope she will
return to US when school starts
again. The grounds were tastefully
decorated with moss. ferns and
palms, and a rustic little house help
ed to make the scene attractive.
The principal feature of the festivi-
ties was the May-pole, dancing around
which sixteen little boys and girls
Joined. The latter, all in white. added
much to the picturesqueness of the
scene.
AS the guests began to assemble,
band pieces were played, and at 6
o'clock sharp the May Queen, Miss
Carrie Blackwell, came forward and
gracefully took her seat upon the
throne, which was embowered in
roses. Ivey Hall welcomed the pref
ty queen and crowned her. The rest
of her subjects came forward in the
following order and presented her
with emblems of love: Miss Lottie
Guess handed her the scepter. Clar-
ence Boyd the cross of faith, Laura
Boyd the anchor of hope, Robert
Brunson the rose of innocence, Sue
Blackwell the flowers of spring,
Laird Montgomery summer wheat,
Glennie Brunson basket of autumn
fruit, Eliphalet Brunson winter ever
green, Grace Blackwell bright eyes,
Fempie Guess ivy green, Dorothy
Boyd as sunshine, Eddy Montgomery
as page, Tom Blackwell as mischief
and William Boyd as gallantry.
When all the loyal subjects had made
their bows the queen led them to
the May-pole and danced, each with
streamer of red, blue and yellow
in his or her hand. As they danced
they sang the Mountain Maids In
vitation". The festivities were con-
cluded with the song, Annie Lau-
rie", in pantomime. Refreshments
were then served, and as the sun was
slowly sinking from view the guests
bade each other goodbye.
Besides the patrons of the school
the following were among the visit
ors: Mrs Frank Montgomery, Mary
Lena Montgomery and Mrs Bert
Blackwell of Greelyville, Mrs M Nc
MILAN and Mrs Habenicht, from near
