Eleele-Koloa Baseball Game

The ball game between Eleele
and Koloa played at Koloa last
Saturday was the best and most
exciting of the inter-school series
thus far. The game was called at
> 80 p. IN. and drew a good sized
crowd of local rooterS. A number
of teachers from Eleele and sew
eral wayfarerS who were attracted
by the cheering came to see the
contest.
The game was a hit and run
affair with but one of two shut
outs for each side. In the 9th in
ming the score was ties at 1910.
But in the Sth and 9th Eleele
pounded the ball out so rapidly
as To outdiStance the home play
ers, finishing with Il victory for
Eleele 20-13.
The Koloa boys were noticeably
smaller in size but played gamely
throughout, Both schools are to
be congratulated on such good
playing so early in the series.
1t is probable the rest of the
games scheduled will have to be
postponed until the fin has abated
and the ban lifted,

help handle the situation.


Niumalu and the Huleia valley,
which has been free before, are
now developing cases. Three were
taken from Niumalu this morning
and there are other suspects. A
daily house to house visitation
and inspection is being made
throughout the valley.
The high school has no cases of
influenza, and has had none.
This was the assured report of
the principal yesterday. One or
two cases reported earlier proved
to be something else.
DR.. WaysOn arrived by the
Kinau this morning in response
to Il wireless yesterday reporting
the situation on Kauai. He de-
parted at once for the Waimea
side.
There are very few cases at
Kealia and Kapaa, and of very
mild type.
Kilduea
Kilauea has had from the be.
ginning of the year an aggregate
of 100 cases or so. At present
they have 16 cases, including
three new ones today. There have
been no deaths, and none of the
cases are at all serious; in fact
so light have they all been that
they hesitate to pronounce il
Spanish influenza at all.
McBrydc
McBryde reports that thus far
they have had no Spanish influen-
"a, though they are expecting it
any hour and are ready for it.
KOloa also reports no cases to
date.

.DR. WAYSON ON
THE EPIDEMIC

DR.. WaysOn of the Board of
Health. having familiarized him
self with the conditions on the
ground regarding the influenza
situation. makes the following
statement to be given the public
by the Garden Island:
81 am paying this visit to
confer personally with your chief
sanitary officer, Mr.. Cook and to
consult the different physicians
here regarding the epidemic of
influenza. | have seen Drs. Dunn,
Tuttle, and Young and find that
everything possible is being car
ried out to lessen the number of
influenza cases.
"The handling of your epidemic
is entirely in your own hands and
| find you are all doing wonders,
not only your officials but, | I'M
derstand, many of your teachers
are doing their share. This is the
true community spirit.
"The carrying out of your daily
inspection of camps, isolation of
your mild cases, supervision over
all contacts, and sending your
more serious cases to the hOspit-
ais, are all that you can do.
"The temporary hospital wards
at Makaweli are o. k. and your
local armOry meets every demand
for just such respiratory diseases.
"You should take the present
epidemic as warning, as it is
quite evident from previous his
tory of influenza, that the terri
tory may again have the epidemic
next fall. No city or community
has as yet been able to quarantine
successfully against influenza.
Mr.. Brandt, one of your super.
visors, assures me that every
thing possible will be done by the
County regarding your indigents.
sick with influenza. This is a
very necessary thing to do as the
indigents rarely realize the seri-
BUSINESS of any disease.
The closing of your schools will
be left entirely to public senti-
ment as the board of health does
not wish to advise on this point.
as yOu know your own local con:
ditiOnS best.
: 81 should like to have remained
longer but Honolulu, just at this
time, needs my service more than
Kauai, as you have many good
advisers here and are doing every
thing possible"

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
TAKES IMPORTANT ACTION

The regular February meeting
of the Kauai Chamber of Com
merce was held at Lihue Thurs
day afternoon, with about thirty
present. After reading the min
utes and a synopsis of the cores
pondence, the matter of remunera
tion of George Mcclellan, Com
mercial representative in Wash
ington, was taken up. He was
rendering very valuable services
to Kauai and it was only right
that some recognition of these
services be given to him as had
been done before.
Remuneration for
Mcclellan
M. CrdWfOrd called attention
to the fact that prominent mem.
bers of the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce, who were now request
ing help from Kauai in the sup.
port of Mcclellan, blocked the
scheme and did their best to nul.
lify the practical outcome of his
efforts. 1--WE ought to remind
them that we remember that"
Mr.. Brandt said that the ques-
ton before us was what action to
take in regard to Mcclellan.
Mr. TViShdrd was decidedly in
favor of supporting him loyalty,
and making him some adequate
compensation for his services. If
the Harbor Commission had TEN.
porarily given the Nawiliwili
harbor project a backset, it was
only temporarily, as it was evi
dent the scheme was very much to
the fore now. The real barrier to
the success of the Nawiliwili pro.
iect had been our own differences
at home. He was heartily in fav-
or of remunerating Mcclellan.
"Send him retainer-say $500,
or whatever was the proper
amount"
Mr.. CRAWFORD thought that we
should deal directly with Nc
Lellan and not through the Homo
lulu Chamber of Commerce; and
any adequate amount could
hardly be made up by the Cham
Der as a bOdy-it would run into
more money than this body could
"dig up" There were, however,
other large interests here which
were deeply concerned in the
scheme, which would no doubt
assist very generously in the mat
ter. He moved that the Chair ap.
point Il committee to secure a
suitable fund for the purpose
The President appointed Mr.
Crawford, Mr.. Wishard and Mr.
Broadbent as such committee. 1t
was understood that they be gov,
erned as to the amount of the re
muneration to Mr.. Mcclellan, by
what had been paid him a year OF
so ago.
Condemnation of Wharf
Sites
On request the secretary read
the letter from Mr.. Mcclellan, il
which he called attention to the
Importance at this time of con
demnatiOn proceedings against
the KanOa estate, to secure title
to the necessary wharf and ware
house sites and rights of way al
Niumalu.
Mr.. Wishdrd said that it was
incumbent on us to make a move
in this matter, that it was a pre-
requisite condition to any con
Structiye action on the ground
and that this was just the time tC
move as the Legislature was now
in session. I'VE have Il LegiSlat

THE INFLUENZA
SITUATION
At Mdkdicei

lnefe nave Deell upWafuS Ol
800 cases of influenza at Makaweli
and they are still coming thick
and fast, and out of these SOC
cases there have been II deaths
The Filipinos fall the easiest
victims to the disease, probably
because they are a very gregariOus
people, and also they are less well
nOurished and less hardy than the
japanese or other races.
One new ward, Is X Ga feet, has
been added to the three new ones
reported before and an additional
supply of 60 beds have been secur.
ed from Honolulu.
Even with the generous special
provision which has been made
the hospital accommodation is in.
sufficient for such large numbers
so that many of the milder cases
have to be treated in their homes,
where their relatives and friends
can care for them in measure,
AS many as can be provided for
are-taken to the hospital, especial
ly the worst cases, and those with
unfavorable surroundings. There
is, of course, daily house to house
inspection.
Two cases ran away from the
hospital at night and were found
at home in their quarters in bed.
They had walked a long distance
to get there.
Not all the camps are infected ;
those most seriously invaded by
the disease are Camps 2, 4, and
II. In the latter camp only one
single person has escaped.
From 30 per cent to 40 per cent
of the victims are children, the
youngest being perhaps one year
old.
The persistence and virulence of
the epidemic seemed to warrant
the closing of the Makaweli school
and that measure was taken yes
terday.
At Lihue
At Lihue there are about 15O
cases. Thus far they have all
been taken care of at the hospital,
and the confident hope is this may
be continued as long as necessary.
By means of daily inspection the
cases are located, and they are
then Immediately brought in by
ambulance to the hospital where
they may be given the best of
medical attention as well as the
best of nursing.
The urgent effort of all concern
ed is to get them to the hospital
just as soon as possible after the
disease has developed.
The armOry has been very com,
fortably and conveniently fitted
up with the necessary furniture
and equipment, and in addition
has been made mosquito proof, to
serve as an auxiliary or over
flow hospital. 1t has been adopted
as the male ward and there are
now ~ or Is cases there, some of
them cOnvalescent, some very
sick.
Lihue is fortunate in having
several capable trained nurses
available who have volunteered
most commercially to help out in
any way that they can, and their
efficient services have been CRATE,
fully accepted. Also a number of
lay helpers, in the same worthy
spirit of service have volunteered
in the same way, and are render
ing very effective aid.
The nurses and helpers are
wearing masks and they don't
like them at all.
The Red Cross has promptly
and generously supplied sheets,

urge the preparation of the neces-
sary surveys, and the Inaugural
tiOn of the necessary cOndemna-
ton proceedings. A resolution
was passed to the effect.
Mr. T.. kHudsen thought it would
be better to have this action of
the Chamber transmitted direct
to the Senate through the secre-
tary rather than through the
Legislative committee since it was
in fact the action of the Chamber
as a whole. at would carry
more weight that way" This was
put as Il motion and was carried.
For a HdrbOr at Kdpdd
Mr. Wishdrd reported that the
examinations which had been
made recently by the government
engineers demonstrated pretty
cOnclusively that it was entirely
| feasible to construct Il very salts
factory Inter-Island harbor at
Kapaa. He thought it was very
important that such harbor be
constructed there, and he would
move that the Legislature be urg
ed to take the necessary action to
construct such a harbor at Kapaa.
This resolution was passed.
+ The Summer Camp
Mr.. BrOdd5ent, representing
the summer camp joint committee,
reported that on the suggestion of
Mr.. Augustus Knudsen, that he
would be glad to meet the COM
mittee on the ground, to select a
suitable site for the camp, the
committee, and number of other
members of the Chamber, to the
number of fifteen in all, went up
the Pun Ka Pele region a. week or
two ago, and selected very desir
able site. At that time Mr.. Knud-
sen suggested that they secure a
much larger area than originally
contemplated.
Planters Support the
Scheme
The whole matter was then
taken up with the Kauai Planters
Association, and met with such
enthusiastic favor at their hands
that they appointed Il planters
committee to act with the Cham
Der of Commerce committee.
At this meeting of the planters
it was cOntended that the acqui-
sitiOn of some satisfactory title
or permit for term of years was
the first prerequisite, and that, if
possible, surrender of title to
the Government should be secured
| from the Knudsens to that portion
of the land to be taken for camp
so that the Government would be
in position to give a continuous
lease or permit. Messrs Wishard
and Moragne were appointed a
committee to see the Knudsen
Brothers in the matter.
