Gambling

If a game of poker was being play
ed on our streets and especially on
Sunday afternoon we imagine that
there would be arrests and fines IL
nothing else but as we sat and watch
ed two small boys playing marbles for
keeps on last Sunday afternoon with
all the persistency of an experienced
poker player we wondered II 1t was
not greater sin to allow these young
sters. one of them foreigner in the
3rd grade at public school, to gam
BILE on the public streets Of our town
on Sunday afternoon and thereby ac-
quire the fascination for acquiring the
property of another by chance or luck
or science than it would be to allow
those of mature minds to gamble with
cards or other device.
We are constantly warned about the
evils of drink and the evil consequent
ces because of our youth learning to
drink but it seems to US that IL the
parents would see that their young
boys and girls were kept off the streets
except when they had some business
to attend to; that If they would know
the company thoy are keeping and the
sports or games they are indulging in
that there would be less cause for laws
against gambling and other vicious
habits.

The Operctta Sylvia" was put on at
Ovid last Saturday evening by the mem
bers of the Congregational choir of
Julesburg and their friends. The pro-
duction was great success and a
large appreciative audience attended.
1t is doubtful If 4 crowd OF amatuers
anywhere could get together and stage
this production better than it was
staged at Ovid and Julesburg.
Mr.. Joe Beck leaves Thursday for q
trip over the Moffit road and will prob
ably locate somewhere in the noun
tains. Joe has been one Of the old
timers here at Ovid and we regret ex-
ceedingly to see him leave the coun-
try.
The Ovid School will hold picnic
the last day Of school Friday, May
%, at the Alexander ranch, a large
time is expected.
The return of warm weather has
started the crops booming and every
thing is looking splendid and indica-

crop this year.

friends in so kindly going to so much
trouble and expense in putting on

.-day evening.

BAYNOT
YET READY FOR
THE BIG SHIPS

The entrance to Ruhio bay. Hilo har.
Dor, Will be dreGged to uniform
depth of 81 feet within few days,
according to word brought to Homo
lulu this morning by representatives
of the army engineers. It was re-
ported week ago thai the bay was
open for general shipping, but. as a
matter of fact 1t had been swept at
only about 80 feet, ii being understood
IT the time that this was sufficient
for the shipping. The Matson Navi-
CATION Company informed the engi-
neers that this was not enough depth
for their vessels and the work of COM
pletfng the contract to full depth is
being rushed through.

morning from an inspection trip to
Hilo. where he viewed the partially
completed breakwater and other en-.
gineer work. He was accompanied
by Lieutenant F. S. Besson and Rich
ard Quinn of the local office Con-
tractor George Marshall was also of
the party, and although he made no
definite statement. it is believed that
he will put in a bid for the compile
ton of the superstructure or the Hilo
breakwater In that case he will deal
with the holders of the present con-
tract, The Breakwater Company of
Philadelphia, or the bondsmen of that
concern, which has made but little
