The Governor
At Kokee

The Governors party accompanied
by representatives of the Public Parks
and sanitation committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce spent couple of
days at Kokee making & careful de-
tailed investigation of the sanitary
conditions of the summer camp To-
cations.
1t would be premature to forestall
the official report in regard to the
matter,-but it would be a perfectly
safe but to say that they didn't find
anything very shocking, and that DR..
Trotter's conclusions will confirm
those of his boy that it was "all
bunk" about the contamination of the
water supply etc.
Having faithfully attended to busi-
ness first the party under the guild
ance of Augustus Knudsen made the
trip to the head of Kalalau, where
they, were much interested in hearing
of the adventures and exploits of Koo-
lau the leper insurgent Of some twen-
ty odd years ago.
The Governor and his immediate
party were the guests of w. V. Hardy
at the Rangers cottage while the
chamber of commerce party were
put up at the Augustus Knudsen
camp, and all were under obligation to
him for the horses which enabled
them to get about and see things.

AHUK|N| THE COMING
DEEP SEA HARBOR

There was an important conference
of interested parties on Saturday in
Lihue and at Ahukini, looking toward
the development of that landing into
a deep-sea port for direct shipment to
the Coast, the outcome of which was
the satisfactory assurance of the easy
feasibility and advisibility of the
scheme.
The Lihue Plantation Company fig
ure roughly that they will be able to
save 100000 a year in freight and
landing charges, especially in the item
of sugar, coal and lumber. Such land
ing would also enable them to carry
a large supply of fuel oil which would
be a great asset for plantation use.
1t is proposed roughly, to extend a
breakwater across the mouth of the
harbor, guaranteeing smooth, still
water within, and then build 500 it,
wharf running parallel to the shore,
which, with the necessary dredging
would accommodate any deep-sea ves-
sci likely to load there. 1t is estimat
ed that these improvements would cost
roughly, 100000 or 100000.
The immediate action which will
probably be taken to execute this en-
terprise will so effectively forestali
the Nawiliwili project that it will prob
ably be pigeonholed-at least for our
time

The Governor On the Napali Region
AS soon as there was a lull in
the dinner proceedings, President
Broadbent introduced Governor
Mccarthy, who thanked the Cham
ber on behalf of himself and party
for the invitation to be theil
guests on this occasion. They had
Just returned from he Napali reg
ion where hey had been very much
impressed by the beauty and
charm of the climate and scenery
which were great asset to Kauai,
and to the other Islands as well
and would become much more SO
when there was q better road to
get up there.
Money for Road Immediately
In his connection he was very
glad to be able to assure them that
the 100000 appropriation for a
. road to this region would be i'm
mediately available. Owing to the
very advantageous placing of the
bonds in New York there would
be premium of some $4,000, and
out of this unexpected windfall he
would assume the responsibility
of paying out the $4,000 which
was appropriated for this purpose
In the usual order of things this
matter would have been delayed
to follow certain other large eX
= penditures, but he would move it
up to the front, and notify the
Auditor to that effect so that
whenever they were ready to use
the money it would be available
This statement was received by
the Chamber with hearty ap
plause.
Present Landing Outrage to Humanity
Another matter which he had
very much at heart was the Ma
wiliwili deep-sea harbor project
More than ever was this the case
since his landing from the Kinau
the morning before, with his
daughter and her little children
and at one time he was afraid that
he wasn't going to get those kids
ashore whole. 1t was an outrage
to humanity, and especially tC
women and children, to have to &C
through that kind of experience
every time they landed Oh Kauai
81 dom need to go into the history
of the Nawiliwili harbOr project
You all know about it. But | will
just say that it was matter OF
some surprise when | applied tC

sible owners of large interests Oh

nous desire for the Nawiliwili
harbor and support of the same
to learn that they were not inter
ested in it; that they had theiI
own perfectly satisfactory appli
ances at Port Allen, and could
hardly be expected to scrap the
same in favor of some other and
more expensive way of handling
their business"
Came to See for Himself
Because of these questions, and
some other matters, he had come
to Kauai to size up the situation
for himself, and he was very glad
of this opportunity to meet with
the responsible business men of
the Island and talk things over
Mr.. III. ID. Wishdrd, of the Har
bOrs Committee was then called
upon for u statement as to what
was being done to meet the re
QuirementS of the Act of Congress
in regard 10 assurances of railway
