Wailnea Hotel
Now Open Again

Owing to the fact that the owners
of the Waimea Hotel feel that they
should get little more than the hotel
fixtures were really worth, Waimea
was without a hotel for a few days
But this state of affairs did not last
long however, as several of the bus
mess men of the town, realizing that
they should have a hotel, agreed to
financially back r. Kanzaki, the form
er cook of that place, in the purchase
of the fixtures.
Waimea needs a hotel, in fact they
must have one, not only for the town
people but for the travelling men who
make this place their headquarters
while on that side of the Island. 1t
is next to impossible for them to
make their territory and then come
back to Lihue for their meals and a
room in the evening.

kauai JAPANESE
HOLD ANNUAL. C|T|-
zENSHIP MEETING

The annu.l meeting of the Kauai
Japanese Citizenship Association was
held in the Lihue Social Hall on the
evening July 3rd. IAcre was
present a fair sized crowd Of these
young men from the various ana diff
ferent citizenship clubs all over the
Island, numbering probably one hun
lred and fifty. Speeches were made
by several speakers from the differ
ent clubs and q many good hints were
given to the young men as to what
they should do to become good citi-
lens and how to keep on being good
citizens after they had attained this
good thing.
The principal speech of the even
ing was made by Mr.. Brandt of Wal
mea. He spoke of the good influence
that the Y. NJ. C. A. had had upon
the young men OF this Island and of
its work which had been done in the
past
Then followed short talks by the
chairmen of the different clubs and
last but not least one by Mr.. Wish
ard congratulating the boys on the
good work that they had done in the
short time that they had been or
ganized.
Mr.. George Andrus led the aud.
ience in singing of the the various
and different popular war songs.
Mr.. Loomis acted as chairman and
introduced each speaker with a short
but appropriate speech. The regular
chairman was delayed in arriving
until the program was nearly over,
with auto trouble on the road COM
ing over
After the meeting there was a pro.
gram of games and refreshments
were served. The boys who had
come from a distance were taken
either taken home with some of the
local boys or were put to bed in the
japanese dormitory so that they
could remain over for the program of
the following day.

REPAIR WORK To
STILL CONTINUE
ON WA|LUA BRIDGE

Road work will continue on, on the
Wailua bridge and the road connect
ing that bridge with Hanamaulu till
it is finished, in spite of the fact that
the Supervisors will have to borrow
money from the bank to do so. 1t is
absolutely necessary to finish up this
piece of work, but all other work will
have to be trimmed down to a bare
necessity and then little bit more,
so that it can be done.
The board would have to borrow
more than they feel that they should
if all the road work was done that
has been laid out 1t is too bad that
this crisis has come just at this time
as the road between Lihue and Wal
mea needs fixing, and that badly, in
many places. The work at Laval will
be continued only to the extent of
NhdI uShCu lOSh thCy lhOl
and then will be discontinued until
sometime when the funds of the
county are in a more prosperous con-
dition.
While the roads have been in
worse shape than they are in now, the
county would be saved money if they
could be fixed at the present time, as
the longer that they are left, the more
money it will cost to fix them up
when they are fixed.
This condition of affairs has been
brought about by the fact that the
Territorial Treasurer has refused to
advance Kauai county any more mon
ey in advance on the taxes. In the
past he has been advancing about
$15,00000 per month on the unpaid
taxes of the county, but now says that
he cannot do it any more. So as the
situation now stands we will have to
worry along the best way that we
can, and as the Arabs say, "Kismet",
Git is fate.)

Young Kauai Man
Jailed for Perjury

Henry George Brandt, % years old
and a resident of Kauai. was sentenced
by Judge Heen Saturday morning to
serve not less than three years and six
months at hard labor in Oahu prison
Brandt pleaded guilty last Mondey to
an indictment charging him with per-
jury.
Brandt was charged with having
sworn to a false affidavit tending to
prove that a plot" had been hatched
up to aid the wife of Martin Goodwin
in obtaining a divorce. Several months
ago Goodwin was sent to prison after
being convicted of a statutory offense.
Recently he was indicted on a charge
of subornation of purgury, it being al
legged that he prevailed upon Brandt to
swear to false affidavit
Brandt told the court that he was
educated in the public schools and had
gone as far as the eighth grade. Asked
if he had anything to say why sent
ence should not be pronounced he as
serted that it was all Godwin's fault.
"A man of your intelligence should
have known better than to come into
court and deliberately commit per-
jury" said the court in pronouncing
sentences Star-Bulletin.

Last of Draftees
Leave for Honolulu

Tonight marks the last of the draf-
tees that will go to Honolulu until the
next draft. In all 276 have left and
the percentage of those who have re-
turned is a very small one, only about
two per cent. This shows that the
men going from here are all in a
healthy condition and are, in general
a very manly lot.
The local draft board reports that
a number of men who are In different
classes have come in and have re-
quested the board to place them in
class IA so that they might go too,
and the board say that after the men
are shipped that are in class la that
they will be glad to change these 9TH
er draftees' classifications.
This attitude is very commendable
one ON the part of the young men, and
shows they are waking up to the fact
that their country needs them, and
needs them badly, but of course they
should have asked to have their clas-
sification changed sooner, if they eX-
pected to be able to go with the first
draft.

Kinau Held but Gov
ernOr did not Come

The steamer Kinau was held for
nearly half an hour Wednesday after
noon by the purser who had been
informed wrongly that Governor Nc
Carthy was to leave for Kauai on his
vessel, The purser finally called up
the Governor and told him he was de-
laying the departure of the steamer
The Governor informed the purser
that he had no intention of leaving at
that time for the Garden Island. No
one seems to know how the impress
sion was given to the Kinau purser
that the Governor was to leave for
Kauai Wednesday, although the terri
torial executive says he intends to do
so later.-AdvertiseT,

CELEBRATION At
L|HUE ON WAS
A GOOD ONE

Showing a Service Flag containing
eight stars for the bandsmen who
have been called to the colors, and
asking the audience to stand in silent
tribute to these boys and to the
many others who have been called
from this Island, chairman II. d.
Wishard opened the Patriotic meet
ing which was the main event of the
Fourth of July celebration. The
crowd was then lead in singing the
popular songs that have been made
famous all over the world excepting
the Central Powers) by the armies
of the Allied countries.
Mr. A. G. Kaulukou then read the
immortal Declaration of Independence,
which was followed by the singing
of the Battle Hymn of the Repub-
lic."
COL. HATHAWAY's SPEECH
Then came the address of the day,
which was given by Colonel Howard
Hathaway of Honolulu who had been
especially invited to give this ad-
dress by the committee. The Col
onel was suffering with a severe cold
and at some places in his address it
was next to impossible to hear him
in the back of the house, but there
was a point or two which was brought
out clearly and one of these was
that, or as he said, if the audience
would pardon him for being person
al, that he had a son in the service,
his only son in fact, and that he
would rather see the bones of this
son bleaching on some battlefield in
France than to know that he was
3slacker at home. This we think, as
he did, expressed the sentiments, not
only of the entire audience, but of
the entire Allied world. He further
said that we must learn to hate the
Hun If we intended to make sweep
ing victory in the end, for if they are
not wiped from the face of the
earth that we would only have to
do it at some later time. The Col
onel made most interesting speech
and it will be remembered for some
time to come.
The meeting was adjourned with
the singing of the "Star-spangled
Banner" and everyone left the Arm
ory with the feeling that they must
% a little more than they had in the
past to help win the war.
THE TRACK MEET
Every one then found place
either in the grandstand, on the
field or in the many automobiles that
were parked around the field to view
the program of sports which the
committee for this particular lot of
events had arranged for their bene-
fit.
The field meet was a success from
the word go, in spite Of the fact that
the A. A. U. had not sanctioned it,
although there were several Of the
boys who would have liked to enter
but were unable to for fear of loosing
