A Near Tragedy

The other day lady driving
very carefully and very slowly
down the Store hill narrowly es-
capped being involved in a serious
tragedy. A little child ran out
from one of the yards near by,
ran across the road in front of
her car, suddenly turned and ran
back, and then by some sudden
change of mind crossed back
again. Meanwhile the lady driv-
er had applied the brakes and
brought the car practically to a
stand-still with the child so close
that she could not see him hid in
under the radiator. 1t is a dan
gerOus place with so much traffic
and a heavy grade, and irrespOn-
sible children should not be turn
ed loose there.

Canyon which they declared was
one of the greatest undevelopt d
assets of this island.
W have seen the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado" remarked Mr..
Gray. "and while ! missed the
purple colors here | found every
thing else in the Waimea Canyon
that the other gorge possess"
Mr.. Jay was also struck with
the color panorama presented by
the canyon and commented favor-
ably on the fact that Waimea can
yen had the advantage over tie
canyon on the mainland in that
one could see the broad Pacific
ocean as well as the scenic wonder
from the vantage point of Puu ka
pelc, the point selected as the
sight for the community rest
or camp house.
"Kauai in preparing Il rest
house ut ruu ka Pele is tax
ing step in tie right direction" >"
added Mr.. Jay. with such a
place for visitors to look forward
to, the trip up the mountain road
will he pleasant indeed"
Both newspapermen declared
that Kauai while known as the
Garden Island could also lay a
strong claim to being a real Isle
of Hospitality. Both scribes de-
clared that they had been royally
entertained during their stay and
that their holiday here had been
pleasant throughout. In conc!u-
sion both declared that they would
ever retain fond aloha for the
Garden Isle and its residents.

The main interest of the morn

year opened this morning at 10 o'clock
with Judge Raymond on the bench.
The court was remarkable in that 1t
was the first circuit court in the his
tory of this county which opened with

ment OF the intermediate Court which
concerns u fund Of S342 involVs{i with
q dispute over $1S5 out OF it. The
intermediate court ordered that the

this decision. An unfortunate part OF
the decision is that Morgan paid tho
$1S5 once before to James 7. Smith
but no record Of the case was filed,
Mr.. Morgan was not given credit for
this.
