inaugurated Christmas Eve with
Il Christmas entertainment for

GOVERNMENT
TO INVESTIGATE
WATER SUPPLY

When Governor Mccarthy Wis
tied Kauai last July his attention
was called to the possibility of
securing water from the upper
Waimea drainage basin to irri-
gate the dry lands mauka of the
present irrigated area at Kekaha.
The governor was favOrably i'm
pressed with the proposition and
in September Mr.. G. r. Bailey, of
the L. :. Geographical Survey,
was sent to make Il reconnaissance.
That Mr.. Bailey's report was
favorable is shown by the fact
that recently Mr.. w. V. Hardy,
assistant engineer in charge of
photographic work on this island,
received instructions to proceed at
once to construct gauging stations
and install automatic water reg
listers on the following streams
tributaries of the Waimea River
-:Waialae. Koale, Mohihi, Wal
alleali, Kawaikoi, and Kauaiki-
mana.
These stations are to be setab-
lished at an elevation of $500
feet above sea-level. The idea is
to determine the amount of water
available from each stream att
this elevation. The mauka Ke-
kaha lands are at present arid
pasture lands, but if the water is
available they can be made into
firSt-class agricultural lands. A
party of five men is now employed
in constructing trails in the re-
gions where the gauging stations
are to be installed.
Mr.. Hardy also received in
structions to build a four room
cottage on the Ranger lot at Ko-
kee to be used as headquarters by
the forestry service and geological
survey.

WHAT THE
COMMUNITY
NURSE FINDS

Miss Castro, the community
nurse when interviewed recently,
said substantially:
Greatness Of the
Need.
II have been here in this capa-
city about two months now, and
the thing that impresses me most
is the greatness of the need, ami
tbe large amount of work to be
done. Yes, as You say, Il good
deal has been done to improve
conditions, but so much still re-
mains to be done. that really, it
doesn't seem as though much of
an impression had been made.
"perbaps the largest showing
has been made in the matter of
the Childrcns' teeth. The Lihue
and Hanamaulu schools have been
handled in this respect, and the
defective ones pulled, that were
so far gone that they could not be
saved. But all the dental work
proper, in the way of filling, is
still to be done. And the outly.
ing smaller schools of Huleia and
Wailua, have not been touched.
Skin Diseases and
Dirt.
"The most prevalent evils a.
mong the children are skin di-
seases and eye affections. The
former are very common, but
yield quite readily to care and
attention. In many cases these
ailments are complicated with,
and are more or less the outcome
of, filth and physical neglect.
"One of the first things, and
sometimes one of the most diff
cult things, is to get them to
clean up. When nice pleasant,
kindly instruction and advice fail
of their purpose, | have to get
right down to forcible language
and 'read the riot act" to them.
| have had to give some of them
clearly to understand that if |
caught them in such a dirty state
again, | would take them out pub
licly, before the whole school, and
scrub them clean with big horse
brush. That had it's effect.
Eye Affections.
"The eye affections are much
more serious and more difficult
to handle. Many of them really
ought to be segregated, in order
to prevent. them from injecting
others, but that would fairly

A ROMANCE
OF JUSTICE

What may be Il horrible mis-
carriage of justice has come to
light through the pardoning, by
Governor Mccarthy, of Vi Hang
kui, who was convicted in Lihue
i'm 1907, for murder i'll the second
degree and sentenced to serve 20
years in prison. The following
account appeared in the Star-Bul-
letin of the 9th inst:
To have a slice of more than II
years taken out of his life for a
crime of which he knew nothing
whatsoever has been the unusual
experience of Vi Hang Kui, Kor-
can, according to statement
made by him Christmas Eve, the
day he was pardoned by Governor
{. J. Mccarthy.
This man was convicted of sec
Ond degree murder in the court at
Lihue, Kauai, on March 16, 1907,
and sentenced by the late Judge
Jacob Hardy to Imprisonment for
20 years. Excellent behavior in
Jail reduced the term which he
would have had to serve to the
extent that he would have been
released in a year and a half any
way.
Nearly - years ago Il China
man was found murdered in the
camp house at ,Koloa, Kauai, in
which Vi Hang Kui, his wife, and
others lied. The wife had a.
paramour, another Korean, living
i'll the same building, and there
had been trouble between vi
Hang Kui and this man. Vi was
arrested Immediately after the
murder and hustled off to Jail.
When the case was called his wife
and her paramour appeared as
the star witnesses, both testify
ing that vi killed the Chinaman.
Upon their evidence the convict
ion and sentence were based.
81 had absolutely nothing to do
with the killing of the China.
man." declared vi Hang Kui, as
he was about to regain his free
dom. II barely knew the man
and'had nothing whatever again
1t him. My wife died some years
ago and her lover has, | under
stand, disappeared. | have been
the innocent victim of Il wicked
conspiracy which cost me nearly
II years in prison."
Vi proved quiet, orderly and
reliable for a number of years
and has been Il trusty; in fact,
for quite while he was permit
ted to work around government
without Il guard or
other restraint except that he
should report back at the prison
1t the regular time in the after
lOOn.
