James Mcclellan, one of the best
known men of the island, and a
large stockholder in the Midway
Oil property, in California, has
gone to the coast for the purpose
of taking charge of the company's
affairs for the time being. Mac. is a
stickler for frankness and honesty,
and things have not been going on
to his liking in the companv's s
affairs for sometime and the local
stock holders decided to send him
up to manage things until a more
satisfactory condition o f affairs
manifests itself. Mac. is a success
at everything he undertakes and
that h e will soon have matters
Strengthened out is the prediction
of all who know him.

A New Chairman is Named

H. D. Wishard who has been
vice-president of the Kauai Loan
Fund since its beginning, has been
elected chairman, the vacancy be-
ing created by the resignation Of
Superintendent of Public Works,
H. K. Bishop. 1t has been the GUS
tom heretofore to have the Terri
torial superintendent occupy this
position, and the change to local
control, and more especially since
the position has been entrusted to
a man of the new chairman's' abb
lity, is considered a move wherein
the transactions Of the Loan Fund
can be carried on with much less
delay. The new vice-chairman is
Hon. Francis Cav.

Old Hawaiian Custom Fittingly

Water System Will Go Through
Uniform Rates -Waimea To
Put Up Cottage

Scores of spectators from all
parts of the island gathered at
Haena last Thursday evening to
witness the annual bonfire which
is one of the too few old Hawaiian
customs which II ave survived
modern times. The night w a s
ideal, and the floating hau sticks
which quivered and darted from
the thousand foot cliff to the mad
waters below, presented sights
never to be forgotten. Long be-
fore niGht-fall. husky native men
had climbed the towering noun
tain aid piled an immense stack
of han trees which, at a signal
from below, were iguited Il d
tossed over the precipice. AS they
fell from the dizzy height, the
smouldering coal at the end of
each, was famed into a blaze by
thu e breezes making them sputter
and blaze like huge fire crackers. AS
the sticks neared the water. the
wind again gathered them up and
played all sorts of pranks with them.
Now stick would surely take its
last plunge into the restless waters,
when fresh breeze seemed to lift
it up II d away again. These
movements m a d the floating
sticks of fire seem possessed with
life, like so many immense frefies
at gambol in the air. Gre t
enthusiasm was evoked from the
spectators all of whom declared the
celebration to be the best in many
wears. f- tf.

The Land-Law Question Again

Under date of May 13, the ad-
vertiser quotes Governor Frear as
saying that certain petitioners for
Kalaheo homes tead lots were
clerks, storekeepers nd such
like, and that the government
received no assuran ce that any of
them were real farmers. The
Governor failed to say what, if
any, assurance he had received re-
gard ng th e qualifications of
dollar a-day, McBrvde- Plantation
labor-applicants whose names p
peared on the opposing list. Again,
If the Governor is properly quoted
he further declares that the time
has gone in Hawaii when make
shift farmers will be permitted to
control the land and have it titled
by others. "
1t is difficult to see the posi-
bility of carrying out such a plan,
when he deliberately sanctions the
granting of a petition favoring a
class of farmers financially unable
to till the land, much less make
the necessary improvements there
on. What more evidence of this
contention is necessary t con-
vince the man of even ordinary in
telligence, than the present un-
satisfactory condition in connection
with the Kalaheo homesseaders
who are entering into a struggle
to save their homes. | am not say
ing but that the plantation or any
one else, for that matter, is not
entitled to the return of money ad-
vanced to these same homestead
ers-it is a matter of business, but
for the government to continue to
grant homesteads to plantation
laborers who are without means to
carry out the necessary improve
ments, in the face of existing con-
d ii ions, can have but one
signifiCance-the ultimate subiec-
ton by all such homesteaders to
the plantation interests. Th
Plantation require labor to carry
on their vest estates, al, must adj
nit but for the Governor to sit in
his office and howl b o u
legitimate homesteading," and a!
the same time show preference tC
a class of homesteaders who car
never make good, presents a state
of affairs bordering on red;culo us
ness.

Kilauea Has Big Annual Feast

The annual Feast o the Holy
Ghost was celebrated in Kilauea
last Saturday evening and Sunday
when several hundred participants
devoted their time and attention to
making it one of the most success
full affairs in the history of Kilauea.
The evening celebration was held
at the home o f Frank Pacheco,
where an immense tent spread over
long tables that fairly groaned
meath their burdens of evidence of
the art o f culinary accomplish
ments of the good Kilauea women.
Attractive decorations lent an ad-
ditional charm to the situation and
the host, assisted with a bevy of
pretty girls, including his two ac-
complished daughters, NJ S s
Mary and Sophia, kept the visitors
at ease with their hospitality, re-
gardless of copious rainfall which
arrived as the diners took their
places. Dinner over, the platform
was cleared, and the Lihue Band s
stringed orchestra which was COM
posed of ten pieces, got into action
The orchestra was partly screamed
behind palms and occupied a posi-
tion on a raised platform from
whence the music issued forth il
such a fascinating manner as tC

THE PINEAPPLE PEST
Attacks Fruit Only And May Be
Easily Destroyed
BELIEVED SUMMER BLIGHT
mot Very Extensive As Yet" "
Says Brodie The kaIaheo
Pineapple King

In an interview with H. II E.
Brodie, one of the best authorities
OH the growing of pineapples on
Kauai, a reporter was informed
that in his opinion, the recently
reported pineapple pest has so far
b cen Of little harm. In my
opinion, said the veteran planter,
/ feel that since the disease at
tacks the fruit and not the plant,
it will not be so very difficult to
combat it. The disease, or what
ever it is, seems to have had its
origin in one of the mauka fields
where number of pines which
rotted last year were allowed to re-
main in the field. Just { c w
effected pines were found among
those used by the canning factory
last summer, while none were re-
ported from the winter crop. This
would indicate that whatever it is,
gets in its work during the
summer months, l am inclined to
the belief that it is of a fungus
nature, but Of course am in no
position to be quoted as authority
We have men going over o II r
fields for the purpose of locating
and cutting out all fruit effected
which at present amounts to very
small per cent of h growing
pines. When found. the fruit is
buried. By this method, and as /
have Stated, the fact that it does
not attack the plant, will, l think,
be the best and surest way to pre-
vent the spread of the disease and
ultimately wipe It out Of existence
Mr.. Larsen is on the ground
and making every endeavor to dis
cover just what the trouble is. Oh
course there is bare possibility
that the weather which has pre-
vailed foi the last year, is respon.
sible for It, but as, to this, like al
my ideas, it is merely conjecture
Generally speaking, our pines are
in excellent condition According
to Mr.. Larsen's statements, being
among the finest he has seen in the
Territory"

EVERYBODY CHOWDERED
"Land-law Question" is Again
Up For Discussion, With A
Lot to Learn

Never, VIC believe, has any
social event brought together S 30
many at the prominent people Of
Kauai as the chowder at Niumalu
Beach o II Saturday evening last.
From the far ends in either direc-
ton, from Kekaha to Wainiha, and
i'll spite of threatening weather. to
the number of 200 or more. They
came to honor the invitations o
the Ladies o f Lihue. Elaborate
preparations had been made a t
Niumalu, where a large lanai had
been erected, beneath which long
tables were spread on which were
served the viands suitable for such
an occasion, notably that uneqall-
ed brand of chowder known as
'Conev's Best f1anked II d rein
forced by Salads Cake, Coffee etc.
1t was no easy to minister to so
large crowd without accident or
delay but it was done with a de-
gree of precision II d despatch
which did great credit to those
, who had the matter in hand. An
excellent string band discourSing
Hawaiian music added to h e
festivity of the occasion. While
deleaguiing rows of flaring torches
and roaring bonfire of gigantic
proportions amply atoned for the
somewhat uncertain moonlight. 1t
was an anspicious occasion to meet
II d great friends from distant
parts of the Island and there were
many pleasant renewals of old ac-
quaintance about the tables and
around the bonfire. It was also an
anspicious occasion for young peo-
pie more or less in couples. to
wander awav into the shadows or
to go boating up the river. Who
knows what happy romances may
date from this Mokihana Chowder

LAST OF THE FAMOUS SCOUTS.

There will be no great surprise that Buffalo
Bills" show has collapsed at last for lack of public
support and that the veteran scout will retire to
his Wyoming ranch, hoping to spend the remainder
of his days there. Like ul public spectacles OF
that kind, If was bound to str>ce bad season; and
the wonder is that its popularity did not fade before
Unlike most shows, it served real purpose; and
that purpose was to present to the world a picture
of one of the romantic and interesting periods in
the life of America, of which Buffalo Bill is the
most conspicuous among the last survivors. Spec
tators from crowned heads to street urchins, went
to see him as much as or more than his entertain
ment
Of the makers of America, not the least worthy
of honor have been its scouts-Boone, Houston,
Crockett Kit Carson, and Buffalo Bill" On the
plains in his younger days, from the time when his
rifle supplied buffalo meat to laborerS the Union
Pacific railroad-thus he acquired his best-known
name-"Bufalo Bill" stood for what was most daring
and most honorable in the life of the scout. His
weaknesses will be forgotten and his courage and
chvalry remembered by thousands who have never
seen his fine horsemanship or the unerring work
Of his rifle and siX-shooter
