The Wainiha Pole
Line Is Renewed

The Wainiha power transmission
line is now some twelve or thirteen
years old, and for some time back it
has shown serious need of overhaul
ing and reconstruction. The rebuild
ing of thirty-five miles of high tension
line through the inaccessible fastness
of the mountains was a difficult prob
shutting down the plant or interfer.
ing with the transmission of the
power was a still more difficult one,
but both have been solved very sue
cessfully.
In order not to interfere with the
working of the line, the rebuilding
was done in sections of a third of a
mile at a time, the new section being
set up along side of the old line 90
feet away, and when this was all
ready the power was switched over
onto the new section. This meant. of
course, that the released wire and
insulators and any other material that
was good on the old line, could be
moved ahead onto the advance sec
ton of the new line.
Strange to say, the wire-stranded
aluminum-has stood the years of
service wonderfully WELL being prac.
ticagy as good as new. The insula-
torssalso have stood the service very
welE 1t is the wooden poles and
cross arms that have deteriorated.
Because of the short life of these
wooden poles, and of the phenomin-
ally high cost of them at present, an
effort has been made to replace them
as far as possible with concrete poles
which shall be good for all time
These poles are being made on the
ground and really cost little more
than cedar or redwood and are easier
to install because of less cost of trans
portation.
This work of reconstruction has
been going on all summer and is now
nearly completed. 1t has been done
under the supervision of Mr.. Meme
foglio, manager of the Wainiha plant,
who has given it his close personal
attention, being in camp a good deal
of the time along the line.

Repairs at Ahukini

The Ahukini landing is being
thoroughly overhauled and recon,
structed under the supervision of j
II. Moragne.
The wooden piles which were all
gone, so that the wharf was just
hanging, are being replaced by con
crete ones, thoroughly reinforced and
banded together and braced so that
when finished it will make a first
class job that will last indefinitely
The Wailua Bridge gang is being
employed or the job, which furnishes
them welcome employment during the
slack season when there is no bridge
work going on, and keeps the money
on the Island.

Tie Waimea Benefit

The entertainment and dance at
Wa.mca last Saturday evening for the
benefit of the Kauai National Guard
WAS a great success according to
those who attended and enjoyed the
general festivities.
Moving pictures and clever vaudi-
vile stunt by Henry Vierra made up
the first part Of the entertainment
Vierra entertained with a clever
little sketch of his own-an imperso-
nation of Chinese laundryman who
was having difficulty collecting his
bills from various prominent Waimea
people. His complaints were quite
humorous and caused a good laugh
to be had at the expense of local peo-
pie
After the show the people turned
to dancing. Bad weather prevented
many who had purchased tickets from
Leing present, but as 1t was, there
were about thirty couples dancing at
all times Music was furnished by
the Kekaha Quintet Club.
On account of weather conditions
there was not much of an audience

Who were present went away well
satisfied with the show.

Rather rough weather at Nawili-
will last week Tuesday, caused con-
siderable difficulty for the sailors of
the KinGu in making landings with
the small boats. One of the small
boats that was N tow of the gasoline
launch turned over and broke her
tow line while making the trip back
to the ste mer.
At the parting OF the tow line the
launch sped away from the small
boat she was towing and was unable
to recover the same due to the fact
that it drifted in'o dangerous water.
Enoka Lowell, Of Nawiliwili, finally
succeeded in bringing the boat into
safe place. Mr.. Lowell now has the
boat safely moored at Nawiliwili,
where he is holding it for salvage,

away BRAKEMAN was discovered.
Yesterday was to have been their
wedding day. Instead of a preacher
they faced a judge, however, and

Tears flowed freely when they
were arraigned before United
States Commissioner G. L. Walker
yesterday afternoon. Midst sobs
Ada told her story, corroborated by
BRAKEMAN, that Ray had proposed
marriage and she had accepted, the
nuptials to have taken place yester-
day. 1t is said by federal oper-

SAM LANCFORD
HERE FOR BOUT
Boston Tar Baby Should Admins
ter Severe Trimming to Big
Boy Tomorrow Night
CARD APPEARS A GOOD ONE
Leo Higgins of Arsenal to Settle
Old Scores With Jimmy
Harris in Semi Windup.

There should be much of the hui
morous and of the exciting in to-
morrow evenings 10-round fracas
featuring Sam Langford, the Bos-
ton tar baby. and Big Boy Butler,
Rock Islands big smoke, as head
liners on the fight card arranged
by Promoter Babe Meanor of the
Rock Island Athletic club at the
Empire skating rink.
For a while last week 1t looked
as though there would be no mill,
Big Boy being arrested in Daven-
port for carrying a big 45-calibre
gun and was lodged in Jail there
as a result Meanor rushed to the
rescue of the big cloud, however.
and after handing over quite a wad
of jack managed to secure his re-
lease under bond.
If Langford shows any old-tfme
form and goes after his brother of
like color, Big Boy would have done
well to remain behind the protect
ing bars of the Davenport bastile.
But Sam is about through, as far
as real class goes, according to the
dope. He has been knocked out
several times recently by second
raters. 1t is barely possible that
Butler may get homo one OF his
wild swings and then it's curtains
for the once famous colored boxer.
Big Boy has taken some severe
lacings, but it cannot be recalled
that he was ever put away for the
count. The Tar Baby may still
have the wallop necessary to do
the trick, and again he might not,
with the dope in favor of the latter
possibility. From all indications
the setto should go its scheduled
length.
Semi Windup Good.
Leo Higgins of the arsenal and
Jimmy Harris of Denver are billed
to mix for six frames in the semi
windup These boys have not
fought for some time and the melee
should prove full of action from
gong to gong. Reports are that
there is little love lost between the
boys and their bout tomorrow night
should develop into one for blood.
In the main preliminary Ray Zies
of Rock Island will box Kid Stan
nish of the arsenal. The battle is
scheduled to go six rounds. From
all reports Stannish is a clever boy
and packs a stiff wallop in either
mitt. The arsenal soldiers will be
on hand with all the money that
can be loaned or begged to back
their boy, it is claimed.
Two youngsters, both willing and
game. Kid Nelson of Moline and
Kid JEFF of Rock Island. are to
clash in a six-round opener which
promises to be a bloody battle.

the police, that, in fact. the policeman
had hand in little Sadic'S murder.
and that following her death the po-

The Jews feel very bitterly about the
untimcly death of the brave little girl,
and they generally accuse the police
for failure to give them ample protcc-
ton.
At the time of this writing. Assist
ant District Attorney Samuel Mnrkc-
witch is making II thoro investigation of
the manner in which Sadie Dcllcn met
her death. All the evidence, however,
is in the hands of the police and it
is doubtful if he can accomplish any
thing. if 1t is true that the police
are anxious to hush up the case.
