OPELU SEASON SOON
COMING TO AN END
Catch Has Been Big Along Kona
Coast and Price Has Been Low

The opeln season along the Kona
coast is about ended, the last of the
schools of this fish now being nursed
along by the native fisherman who feed
them daily. The opelu are fed with
boiled bread-fruit and chinese taro
made into a thin poi. This is ladled
out into the ocean by the canoe men
10 bunch the fish so that they can then
be surrounded by nets and the whole
school gathered in.
The opelu begin to arrive in the
Kona waters in June and the schools
are especially numerous during August
and September. This year these fish
we're far more abundant than usual.
Much of the catch has been sailed and
dried on account of the large surplus
taken by the fishermen.
Fresh Opelu, at the beach, have been
selling twenty-five for quarter al
though the usual summer catch in ordi-
nary years sells three for ten cents, or
at the lowest two for five cents. This
year there have been more opelu than
the district could consume.
No one knows just where the opeln
feed during the months from December
to June as they are rarely taken in
Hawaiian waters during those months.
The first schools to appear in June
either come up from the equatorial wa
tiers or In from the open sea. During
the opclu season tuna, ono and other
game fish appear in great numbers and
sharks are unusually numerous. All
these follow the opelu and feed upon it.

for the election Of Democrat as
Speaker is bright unless the Republican
fix on some other member. .-.,
Gardner, after declaring that the. mes
sage of the President was ill-advised
stated that he felt obliged TO repudiatG
Mann because Of his stand in the matter
and that he would support Irvine l.
LenrOnt of Wisconsin for Speaker OF
the house and Republican leader.
In referring to the Presidents peace
message Gardner said:
II believe that the happiness of the
world requires the destruction of both

~ Heavy cannonading is be-

Russians Give Ground
In DObrudja and north Wailachia the
Germans are reported to be once more
pressing the Russians hard. There has
been particularly hard fighting in the
vicinity of Rimnik -Sarat, where the
Russians have been compelled to retire
from their advanced post at Rakovit-

storm the positions at Balatchenul
were unsuccessful, however, the Teu-
