The First Ascent Of Waialeale
"Rippling Water"

I Keaku; it is situated on the eastern side
! of narrow valley called kailiili, about
| halfway up the pail. A. we seated our
selves in its cool shade to eat dinner We
were interested by anecdotes related by
our guides in regard to ancient Hawaiian
| kings and queens who had made this
same cave their resting place while on a
| pilgrimage like ours.
AT two o'clock, invigorated by food and
| repose we set off again, leaving all our
men but four to spend the night at the
cave and follow i'll the morning. The
| forest became wilder, and the country
| more broken than ever; not far from the
| cave we descended into a deep rayine and
travelled in the bed OF the stream for
| about mile, sometimes jumping from
one mOss-c covered stone to another at an
imminent risk of slipping heels over head
into the chilly water, and sometimes
! wading with complete abandon through
the sparkling fluid, where it was not
over our knees in depth, to the inevt-
able deterioration of shoe leather. On
| leaving this stream we assembled once
, more o the highlands and travelled
directly east. The guide showed us the
spot where man, in attempting to cross
over to Hanalei alone, was overcome by
exhaustion and the cold and had lain
down and died.
The smooth sloping sides of Waialeale
soon greeted our delighted eyes, and in a
short time, in crossing h Wainiha
stream, we said Eau reyoir" TO the old
woods, and found ourselves On an open
plain, which had a gentle inclination to
the west, and was covered with coarse
grass; here and there were clumps of
bushes, principally lehua and ohelo,-
II scattering everywhere were wild
flowers, some of them vying in beauty
and delicacy with the rarest gems of the
garden. In low and swampy spots small
variety of silver sword was growing in
such profusion that the ground seemed
almost covered with mantle of snow.
This whole vicinity would be, AZ was re-
marked by one of the company, an in
teresting field for the explorations of a
bOtanist.
After crossing the windings of the Wal
nina twice more our guide told Us we had
better pitch our tent, as we could find no
better camping place further on; We had
been expecting to gain the summit be
fore dark, but he assured MS that il was
still a long ways off, and could not bc
reached by daylight. He either lied to
us or else had forgotten the distance,
for we were made quite indignant the

HITCHCOCK
ART EX|B|T

After several weeks spent partly
i'll Hanalei and Haena and partly
among the picturesque scenes of the
Olokele Canyon, Artist Hitchcock
returned to Lihue with a number
of splended paintings, which were
exhibited during the latter part of
last week at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lydgate.
Twenty three pictures formed
the aggregate of the exhibit about
half being painted from scenes on
the Hanalei side and the other half
from the Olokcle canvon.
The Hanalei pictures were f

Continued from last week.
There were number of | it t | e
brown birds, resembling very much the
Wren, hopping about among the bushes

natives formerly worshipped them as the
gods of the Kuahiwi, aud to this day the
ancient superstition clings to them that il

pest will burst upon the head of the
luckless offender and compel him to beat
a hasty retreat.
Our next breathing place was on the
brink of a huge anphitheatcr at place
called llaleokunuu: the scenery as beheld
from this point was exceedingly fine; we
looked down into the circular valley some
thousand feet in depth and two or three
miles in diameter from the green sides
OF which numbers OF silver cascades were
falling.
To attempt to describe every object OF
interest anu to portray every remarkable
scene with which we were brought into
contact would be tedious. We continued
marching on" now on the top of a
narrow ridge, and then in deep gloom at
the bottom OF some dark ravine, at one
moment clambering over the PROSTATE
trunk of deceased old Monarch of the
Forests; and at the next, sinking up TO the
knees in deceptive quagmire.
In one of the little valleys which we
had occasion to cross, called by tire abo-
rigines Wailenalena, (Yellow Water, } we
found growing in great profusion in the
stream and ON its banks, remarkable
plant which appeared to be new to all
the party excepting the Kamaainas. 1t is
called the Ape-ape, and in the length of
the stalks, which is often twenty feet or
over,-and the size of the leaves, it bears
some resemblance to the Ape, of which
the natives suppose it to be- variety
still there Is great difference between
the two plants. By an accurate measure
mcnt of one of the first leaves which
came to hand we found it to be Just six
feet in diameter; the leaf is round, and
is attached to the stem in the centre, or
as a botanist would say, is peltate; in
eXturc it has no resemblance whatever
to the Ape, but in this respect is very
similar to a squash leaf. The flower is
very unique, consisting OF stalk about
four feet in length from which radiate
the podicils, each surmounted by bright
crimson flower about the size and iprm
of pea

CHURCHES Of
kauai MEET

The regular semi-annual meet
I1ng Of t h association of the
churches of Kauai met during the
last week at Kapaa where elabor-
ate preparations had been made
Nor reception and entertainment
OF the delegates who came from all
parts OF the island Among other
matters Of interest the following
may be mentioned.
The secretary of the Hawaiian
Board called attention 10 the fact
that the current year would show
considerable falling off in the re-
sources of the board, and therefore
it would devolve on the churches
to render larger measure of as
sistance. He was accordingly ask
Ing from t h c various churches
throughout the islands, a contri-
button of one dollar per member
per year, burden which surely
ought not to be considered exce..
sive.
An ANALYSIS of the contributions
OF the last year showed that the
churches did not average SOC per
member and many of them much
less than this. A resolution was
passed requesting the churches to
make this contribution.
A novel feature of the association
was the presence of Filipino con-
tlngent under Jose Alba who has
been commissioned by the beard
to conduct this work on Kauai. He
is all orator i'll visayan and a master
pantomimisi as we'll, YOU couldn't
understand his speech but YOU

more.
In connection with he con.

LOSES MEMORY AS
RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Jack Pomeroy Unable to Recall Events
Directly Preceding Injuries in
Collision.

Jack Pomeroy, q chauffeur, was
knocked unconscious and his car badly
damaged between 1880 and l o'clock
this morning when it was struck by n
depot car near the corner Of Third
South and West Temple streets, Pomer,
oy was taken to the emergency hospital,
where he was attended by DR.. a. B,
Sprague.
A peculiar feature Of the accident is
that Pomeroy could not recall single
incident in connection with it. The last
thing he could recall was having taken
some passengers to the Hercules hotel.
After that everything was a blank. Wit
nesses say he was turning his car around
and because Of the side curtains did not
notice the approaching street car, The
automobile hit the car on the side. The
wheels of the auto were crushed and
part of the body was considerably
damaged. Pomeroy had to send for a
friend to tell him where he lived as his
mind was temporarily dazod by the blow
he received on the head. He is suffer
ing from a scalp wound, but otherwise
he was unhurt.
