IMPROVEMENTS
COMING At LAST
Superintendent Forbes Win
b Rush Public Works On
This Island

Charles X. fOnJcS, the new
Superintendent of public works,
arrived on Kauai by the w. G.
Hall last FRIDAY morning and has
spent the time since then looking
sover public works and harbor com.
mission matters at various points.
He landed at Nawiliwili and was a
close observer of the difficulties of
making the shore conveniently
there.
At the Fairview Hotel about 8
O. clock the Superintendent was
joined by H. D Wishard and E.
H. w. Broadbent, representing
the Kauai Chamber of Commerce,
and J. H. Morange road super
visor After a short conference,
the party took autos and started
for Hanalei, being joined by AL
bert Horner, of the Kapaa can
merry enterprise, and, at Kapaa, by
GAYLORD P. Wilcox, also represent
iR5S the Kauai Chamber of Com
merce.
1t had been raining some during
the night and was still showery,
as a consequence OF which the
road was found to be in very bad
condition. At Hanalei the party
inspected the new wharf, which
was found in very good condition.
They also went up the river and
inspected the new bridge, which
was damaged by the recent flood.
This bridge is being 1epaired and
will shortly be in substantial con
dition again.
Returning to Anahola. the wharf
at that place was found to be in a
very bad plight. High seas had
carried away some of the flooring,
the under work was damaged, the
tramway leading to the wharf was
washed out and things generally
were i'll a dilapidatcd state. Mr.
Forbes was impressed with the
conclusion that this wharf should
be done with.
1t was then so late that visits 10
other places were not attempted,
and the party returned to Lihue,
ariiving about 5. p. N.
Saturdaynlol ming Messrs. Forbes,
IBroadbent, Moragne and Hor-
ner went TO the Kappa homesteads,
and literally looked over everv-
thing. All of the principal home

panied by MIR. Broadbent, visited

whistle in the last quarter, the local
boys were on the mark, and by their
long runs, forward passes. and line

Maine WINS the new ENGLAND
INTERCOLL EC!ATE CROSS-COUNTRY

Boston. Nov. I5.-In the closest bat
tie ever seen in a New England inter
collegiate championship cross country
run, Maine nosed out Tech for first
place yesterday morning over the new
course on Franklin Park with a score
of &C to the Boston teams 90. Frank
Preti CT Maine was the individual
winner, and his running with that OF
Bell, who finished third. clinched the
victory for the Maine team.
Tech showed veil balanced team,
finishing her entire i've men among
the first 20. but its stars failed to come
through as expected, Cook, who fin-
ished fourth. being the only one UP
with the leaders.
The surprise Of the meet was the run :
ming of Dartmouth. The New Hamp-
shire school was supposed to have Il
weak team, and although Capt. Dur
gin, It's first fnisher, was only in 10th
place, its fifth mar finished 23rd,
punching five men in Is places. Colby
and Brown had stift fight for sixth
place, the Maine college winning by
one poiEt.
The distance was $40 miles and
the course proved to be ideal for hill
and dale running, as it was possible
for the spectators near the finish TO
get sight of the pack at least half
dozen times during the race.

Work was continued during the
year on the gun and mortar batteries, y
the report states, and by the close of
the year the concrete work was prac-
tically completed, as well as the great
er portion of the back fill. On July 1,
1913, the construction of redoubts in

Junks and Their Superstition
youths Companion).

outh,S Companlon).
In the Memoirs of William Hickey"
edited by Mr.. Alfred Spencer, the au-
thor describes the old-time Chinese
shipping and the junks that the yellow
sailors navigated along the coast as
far as the Strait of Malaeca in fair
weather, never yenturing out of sight
of land
The shape of the junks lengthwise
was rather more than semicircle,
each end being many feet higher than
the centre. At the stern there was
recess several feet in depth, and of no
possible use, which looked as II it was
intended to give the sea that should
strike her abaft a fair chance of split
ting the unwieldy machine in two. On
each bow there was painted an enor-
NOUS eye, and if you inquired what
they were for, the answer was, HI
yaw, no have eyes, how can see?"
They drew but little water seldom
more than five feet when loaded, and
had only one mast. with slight BAN
boo pole occasionally used as top
mast Their sails were made of reed,
looked much like mat, and answered
the purpose very well, at least in the
hands of Cinnamon. In smooth water,
and before the wind, they sailed toll
erably, but they made sad work
against an adverse wind or high sea.
1t was reported that the captain Of a
country trading ship had many years
before sufficient influence over the
commander Of junk to persuade him
TO learn enough navigation to justify
his leaving the land entirely. Having
got the Chniaman to that point, he
supplied him with compass and
Quadrant, taught his pupil the use Of
both, and became principal owner OF
a cargo put on board the junk for
distant port The vessel, under these
circumstances. boldly went. to sea,
completing in q little more than three
weeks a voyage that had previously
taken six months. She returned with
a cargo that yielded such a profit as
enabled the captain, who had been ad-
nitted to a share, to quit the sea, and
retire to enjoy himself with his fam
lily. The lucky event encouraged an
other Chinese to pursue the same
course. He sailed with equal success
to Malacca and other places on the
east coast, disposed of his merchan-
disc to prodigious advantage, and with
his Accumulated riches sailed from an
island at the border Of the strait on
his return trip to China. But unfortu-
nately instead OF reaching home, he
disappeared altogether. That misfor-
tune the prejudiced people ascribed
entirely to his having those diabolical
instruments (the quadrant and COM
pass on board his vessel. On being re-
minded that the other captain had sue
-.
these bigots said. Hi yaw, that man
have too muchee good friend with
devil come" And from that day until
Mr.. Hickey wrote his memoirs, CEN
fury and half ago, the Chinese had
not dared to try anything except their
traditional mode of coasting.

fairly well organized, and the other
nine Assembly Districts in process of
organization.
In the larger cities these Assembly
Districts are organized by wards or
election districts. each with a cap
tain and campaign committee in
charge of the work in that district In
the country the club is still the unit
and there are now 402 of these clubs
at work.
Each election district Is making a.
card catalog of the voters with their
sentiments on the subject of suffrage.
The returns are both interesting and
encouraging. The average is from 3
to to l opposed. Among the women
1t is even greater. OF ITO women in
terviewed in one town 1888 declared in
favor One district that had As en-
rolled suffragists five years ago now
has nearly $4,000.
When our campaign began every
county in the state reported that it
could not finance it's own campaign.
1t was a serious question where the
money could be found. A budget Of
$4,000 was planned for the year, and
each campaign district was assigned
certain part of this sum, with the
idea of making each district self sup
porting. Although a year was given
to raise this $4,000 the entire sum
was pledged and paid within eight
months. Many of the districts have
become entirely self-supporting.
I'VE have set out now to raise
$4,000 for the last year of the cam
paign. each district being again as
signed its proportion of'this sum. The
last two weeks in October were given
to money raising all over the state,
and we are practically assured of that
sum.
Many of the newspapers have been
our staunch allies. AT a convention
of editors in Syracuse recently so out
| of so editors present gave a written
pledge to support the movement.
Besides distributing quantities of
the suffrage newspaper literature we
| have given away 100000 special
leaflets and have sent out 200 posters
done by we'll known artists 5000 adj
vertising posters and $4,000, roadside
! posters.
we have had meetings literally by
the thousands between 5000 and
10000. We had suffrage tents or booths
at 10s county fairs. at which $4,000
Votes for Women" drinking cups
were given away.
Not an officer or leader in the
movement in New York State is paid
Most of them are contributing not
only their service but their own ex.
penses. We have now a great army
! of suffrage workers
IF efficient organization and the
! devoted service of thousands of wo-
men can win a popular referendum in
New York state we are bound to win
in 1915"
