L|HUE WINS
FIRST SERIES

Two cracking good games of
ball were staged on Kauai last
Sunday. One was between the
KalaheO'S and koloa's at KolOa,
in which KOloa won , to ,. AL
though there was quite Il bit of
Squabbling and number of kicks
over the umpire's decisions, the
game was fast and well worth
going to see.
The game between Lihue and
McBryde'S at Elecle resulted i'm
another victory for Lihue, thus
giving her the first series with
out the loss of game. 1t looked
like Mcbride was in for a shut-Out
right up to the end of the ninth
inning. when Lihue's shOrt-stOp
made a bad throw to first and let
Il man cross home for McBryde.
The score was ; to |.
Lihue made all her runs in the
first inning, after which McBryde
closed up and both teams played
,ir-tight ball the rest of the game.
Large crowds of enthusiastic fans
attended both games.
The Makaweli-Kealia game fail
ed to materialiZe. 1t is stated
that the shortage in gasoline is
responsible for this.

Masquerade at Valley House

Parties for the young folks are
coming thick and fast, but none
have been more successful than the
masquerade dance given by Lydia
BrcdrerO at the Valley House
Friday evening.
Invitations extended all the
way from Kekaha to Hanalei, and
the sixty or more guests came ar
rayed in every conceivable cos.
tune. Dressed as "COlonel Spald.
ing" the hostess did the honors
very acceptably and saw to it that
the reputation for open handed
and pleasing hospitality that the
Valley House enjoys, was lived up
to.
Besides the Colonel" there
were the rich man, the poor man.,
begger and chief, the sailor. sold
ier, the bride and groom, the
colonial dame, the lady of the
harem. the baby, etc. One prOmis-
ing young lawyer went as a soci.
ETY. dame and conducted himself
i'm a most refined and dignified
manner all evening.
About II o'clock those that
cared to went for Il swim in the
tank. After supper the dancing
was continued and lasted till way
after midnight.

An Interesting Visitor

Major Larsen, brother of Mr..
David Larsen of Kilauea is here
on a visit. Major Larsen is Il
physician and saw nine months
active service during the war over
in France.
He has many interesting ex-
periences to tell of all he saw and
did while on the medical staff
near the front.
One of the wonderful cures that
interested him particularly, is
the new so called parafine treat
mcnt for deep burns. The physi-
clans in New York are now using
this treatment with phenomenal
success.
The British soldiers whether
English or Australian were Il con-
stant source of delight to him as
he found the different accents
and dialects most amusing and
entertaining.
The Bairnsfather jokes and
pictures are true to life.
While in New York recently he
saw play based on the BARNS
father book. and it was so true to
trench life as he saw it, that he
imagined himself back there once
more.
The whole experience was Il
most profitable one from Il medi-
cal point of view. as physicians
had an opportunity TO study at
close range cases that would sell
dom he seen in civilian life in
numbers sufficient to be of prac-
tical use in forming diagnosis.
While the modern method of
treating gun shot wounds etc are
way and ahead of anything the
world ever saw in times, past.

That Puu Ka Pele Road

So much traffice has gone over
the Pun ka Pele road this summer
that it now consists of a long and
painful series of chuck holes, that
lie in wait in the dust over the
road for the luckless auto or truck
that ventures forth for higher alti-
tudes.
Recently an enthusiastic party
set forth on Il camping expedition
up Kokee way. The truck con-
tanning their supplies broke down
on the rough road and was three
days in transit over the chuck
holes. On the way down the
chauffeur had almost as much
trouble as he did going up.
Several would-be camping part
les are afraid to venture up till
the road is mended. Unfortunately
the $4,000 appropriation passed
by the last legislature for the pur-
pose of macadamizing this road is
not available till next year. Doubt
less by another summer something
can be done, so. that as many as
want to can go at any time to the
higher levels and enjoy the de-
lights of the Pun ka Pele region.

School Commissioners Meet

The school commissioners are
holding ii special meeting in HO-
nolulu this week. Beginning Mon
day morning with special business
they will continue that until dis
posed of, and then go on to the
settlement of next years appoint
ments and see to it that the differ
ent schools have their fair num-
ber of teachers. -
We don't know how it is on the
other islands, but we do know,
here on Kauai many teachers do
not know where they are going to
teach next year. or if they are
going to teach at all.
In former years all knew their
fate" some time in April or May,
but this time their appointments
have been held up in the air, many
of them for so long that they have
became quite discouraged. Also
the salaries have been slow in com
ing in. One teacher wanted to &C
to the summer camp at Kilauea
but her June salary was so late
in coming that she had to give VI
her plans.
Let us hope that all these veX
ing and unnecessary delays may
be Strengthened out during the
present session of the commission

Barking Sands As a Park

The government lease to the Ke-
kaha Sugar Company, which has
been extended Il year beyond the
limit of the original lease, will
nevertheless soon expire. In 1920
the land will again fall into the
hands of the Territory. So now is
the time to plan securing the fam
ous Barking Sands area as pub
lie park reservation.
Kauai is the only island of the
group whose sands bark for it,
and it is hoped that they will bark
loud enough and long enough to
be heard by the officials who have
il in their power to see to it that
this interesting region is set aside
for the enjoyment of future gener'
ationS.

Hoodlums at the Tip Top

Hoodlums are infesting the Tip
Top again. This time their role
is malicious mischief. Sometime
during the past two weeks some
person has taken Il pocket knife
and delibertlyy slashed three of
the cushion seats in the center of
the house. Mr.. Jennings has of
fcred reward of SO for informa-
ton that will lead to the appre-
hending of the culprit. 1t is to
be hoped that he will be caught
and a good, stiff fine handed to
him.

An Enthusiastic Visitor

Mrs. Frank +. Atwater, of Hal
ku, Maui, has been visiting with
her brother, Mr.. b. ID. Baldwin
and family at Makaweli for some
time. Although Mrs. Atwater is
an Island born girl and has spent
most of her life in Hawaii nei,
this is her first visit to Kauai.
She was charmed with the Is
land, its natural beauties and
easy accessibility. and spoke of
the large number of white people
found here-a greater population
than she imagined. Mrs. Atwater
left for her Maui home on the last
kinau.

Catch the Culprit

An annoying sneak thief has
been prowling around the camps
near Lihue Store lately. A couple
of nights ago, Ishi, who lives in
the new house just below the mon
umcnt corner, found man in the
bath room about ten O'Clock at
night, and along toward three o.
clock in the morning their dog
barked furiously at some prOwler
hanging about.
Mr.. Thomas. the head carpenter
of Lihue Plantation, has seen a
strange man, Filipino, hanging IA
bout his house when he goes to
work early in the morning. One
Mrs. Mato, who lives just back of
the Tip Top, saw man dressed
in a khaki uniform disappear
round the corner of the house
with her choice bit of ham. She
was afraid and ran up stairs.
\ boy near the Buddhist church
lost Il hat and other clothing, be
sides S15 in cash while Filipino
was robbed of household goods
and 500 in cash at one fell swOOp
He is nearly crazy about the cash
as he had been painfully saving
the money TO send to his aged
mother in the Philippines.
Other rumOrs, to the effect that
the burglar wears Il handkerchief
over his face are frightening the
people in the camps. 1t is to be
hoped that IA sharp lookout viii
be kept till the culprit is caught
and brought to justice.

BIG IRRIGATION
SYSTEM PROPOSED

Land Commissioner c. II. Bal
lev arrived on Kauai last Friday
morning Oh general business con-
nected With his department, but
more particularly i'll connection
with the irrigation project of the
Lihue Plantation Company on the
upper Wailua river and its tribu-
taries. Commissioner Bailey is
looking over the project and gath
ering data for further considera-
ton of the proposal.
TERRITORY Gets Profits
Under the proposals made to the
Territory, says the Advertiser, Lii
hue is to undertake the project
and make the required investment
for the storage and transportation
of the water to the lower lands.
The company would then charge
itself for the water it uses just as
it would charge other land holders
for similar use. From the income
thus derived the company would
pay into its own treasurer, the
costs of maintenance, six percent
on an investment and the balance
would be paid into the territorial
treasury.
HOmestedders wiz Benefit
The plan means that all plan
tations and hOmesteaders for sew
eral miles about Lihue Plantation
which can be served by gravity
will benefit under it as water
users. A considerable amount of
homestead land would be included
in such area.
Terms of water rights and of
rights of way for fumes, bitches
and pipe lines would also have to
be adjusted for period which
would warrant the plantation
company in making such an i'll
vestment.
Large Lama Holdings
Lihue Plantation Company has
holdings of 1916 acres in fee and
20,406 under lease. It's subsidiary
companies are Makee Sugar Com
pany with 7144 acres in fee and
552l under lease; Kapaa Land
Company, 7G6 acres in fee, OlO
hena Land Company, 7S9 acres i'll
fee and Moloaa Land Company
3S4 in fee.
