An Old Kamaaina Gone

Wahine Kaiu of Waipouli, pass
ed away at her home after an only
few hours of illness Thursday
August 2. We believe that it is
commonly current that she was
drowned, but that is a mistake.
She was taken with sudden indis-
position while fishing, of which she
died few hours later.
She was woman of much force
of character and with her husband,
S. Kaiu, was, some 20 years or so
ago, an important element in the
interests of the Kapaa district,
where they were leaders, and in a
helpful way, "aliis" of the old
school. She will be missed, even
by a great many who did not know
her familiarly.

tion was filed with the secretary of state Tuesday, with l5,074 signatures, for the submission of the municipal pond amendment.
 This measure has been before the electorate three times, receiving ma jCrities of the vote cast on the sub Jcct, but has been lost through techni- calities. The last time, it was carried to the supreme court, and thrown out because more than three amendments had been submitted at the election The initiation of the amendment was started only three weeks ago, and pc titions were circulated in practically every county of the state. The amend ment has been carefully drafted and meets the approval of all who have examined it. The amendment will enable cities to vote bonds for internal improvements.
 Having precedence over all other amendments to be submitted at the general election in 1918, the proposi- tion will go before the people on it's merits, unhampered by technicalities, and it is believed will be adopted.

Of granite, which made it hard to
reach the flames.
The fire had its origin in the base

caused by a defective heating ar.

from below to the roof and the fire
men were compelled to cut holes in
the roof to reacn it.
The interior of the church is
practically a loss, much of the furn-
