PROMINENT SCOUTS
INVADE THE ISLAND

Nine honest-to goodness boy scouts
all from Honolulu arrived by the Kin
au this morning. They have come
at the invitation of the Garden Island
and to give exhibitions of advanced
scoutcraft. They represent different
troops of the Honolulu council and are
each experts in different lines of
scouting. The party is headed by
Eagle Scout Ezra Crane. The other
members of the party are, Nohuii

William Holt, Russell Frazier. Allen
Mcguire, Kalani Cockett and James
Chang The scouts will spend the
first part of the week visiting iu,er
esting places on Kauai and for the
rest of the time will give exhibitions
at various centers. A tentative
schedule has been arranged by Comm
issioner Warner as follows; Tuesday
day, Kilauea; Friday, Kapaa, Satur-
day p. M Makaweli; Saturday night.
Waimea; Sunday P. NJ, Ko,oa; Mon
day A. M. Koloa school; Monday
night scout demonstrations and bas-
ket ball game VS. Kauai High school
(benefit admission CHARGE: Tuesday,
Lihue schools.
AS the Boy Scout movement is one
of the best devices for training il
good American citizenship il becomes
the duty of Kauai people nor only to
welcome these Honolulu scouts Dat 10
lend every encouragement to the 10.
cal organization. Especially do the
parents of some of our Kauai youth
need enlightenment as to the value
of scouting. The officers, council
and scouts of our five Kauai troops
proffer the hand of fellowship to our
visitors this week.

KONA STORM
DOES DAMAGE

Severe Kona storms have been in
frequent of late years and we had be-
gun to think of them as a thing OF the
past. The one we have just had how
ever, makes abundant amends for all
past deficiencies. Beginning Wed.
nesday afternoon it gradually gathered
headway andviolence until about mid
night of Thursday when for several
hours there was a perfect hurricane of
wind and rain that swept down ban
anas and papaias and demolished
branches and uprooted trees and lev
elled the cane far and wide, and even
threatened substantial buildings. AL
though the wind abated somewhat
thereafter the rain continued to fall
internationally in torrents accompanied
at times by thunder and tightening,
and again reached a climax Friday
afternoon when for two or three hours
there was downpour that would
have surprised even Noah himself
Many fine old trees, some of them
rare and valuable were uprooted,
while others were torn and mangled
out of all symmetry
The Union Church yard is a wreck
the Moler's place a sight to behold,
while many others are more or less
dismantled. A tall Eucalyptus near
by toppled over on the Warner house,
but fortunately didn't do much dam
age. The roof of one of the Hama
maulu school bungalows was badly
demolished, a great section of it being
torn off bodily and crashed to the
ground.
Friday morning the lights went off
and there was the prospect of a
Christmas eve in darkness, conse-
quently there was a great scurrying
round for lamps, candles, etc, but
fortunately they came on again toward
night to the delight of everyone.
Strange to say the storm was very
much less severe on the Waimea side,
only about half as much rain, and very
muah less wind with no damage done.
On the Kilauea side there was also
much less rain but much wind. The
koolau Japanese school just beyond
Moloaa was wrecked.

ALL READY FOR THE BRAVES

Everything is in ship-shape for the
arrival of the Braves on Friday morn
ing on their tour of Kauai. Upon
arrival, the boys Will be taken to the
Ikuta Hotel in Kapaa, where they
will be housed during their stay.
The team is made up rs follows:
c. Benny, manager; "Doggie" Ana
hu, w. Cabral, Harry S. Ku, VIM.
Cordeiro, B. Salvador, A. Ornellas,
NJ. Phillips, Charles Quintal, H. Lipdo,
o. Meyer, VIM. Lopes, B. Balbueno,
T. Carreiro, ]. August and II. Mara.
Though weather conditions Tor the
past two months have been rather
it is believed that the
weather man will not try to mar the
stay of the visitots by preventing any
games, as the Punahous, Asahis, and
Chinese teams all were favored by
the elements during their entire stay
on Kauai in previous years.

A FATAL AFFRAY

A fatal stabbing affray took place
at Waikiki, Makaweli mauka, Saturday
afternoon. Filipinos were the parti-
cipants and love and jealousy the
cause. Armed with knife the perpe-
traitor broke into the frail house of
his victim to secure him and finish
him. A mutual friend tried to res
train him, for which he received a
nasty cash, which convinced him that
he wasn't wanted there, and he left
for the hospital. The frantic aggres-
sor then got his man ami killed him,
but was himself wounded in the des-
perate fight. He is now in the hos
pital under arrest. Is this movie
immortality, or is it straight Filipino
human nature?

Kapaa Notes

KiOn SoOng, Wailua homestead
er and mainstay of the Makee
team behind the bat, left on Tues
day to spend the holidays with
his parents, who live at Waikapu,
Maui. He will return in about Il
month.
1t was indeed a very unfOrtu-
nate day on Friday, Dec. 24th.
The rain and windstOrm wrought
havoc with the young cane in the
homesteads and several houses
had their roofs detached and sent
to the ground. The Masuda black
smith shops stable had its roof
blown clear off, and Il flag pole
in the center of the town crashed
to the ground during the night.
The AlOiaus lost a whole group of
tall banana trees and numerous
other trees in other parts of the
village received like treatment.
For the first time since the Ka-
paa pOstOi1ice was established in
1918, the regular mail did not ar
rive on scheduled time, or any
where near it. The Honolulu
mail arrived here at 5 :45 pm. on
Friday evening, when it should
not have been later than eight
o'clock that morning, thus neces-
stating a long wait late in the
evening by those who were expect
ing Christmas mail from Homo
lulu. incidentally, weather con
ditiOns also prevented the regular
mails for Honolulu to be dispatch
ed on Friday as scheduled, this be-
ing the first time that mails for
Honolulu could not be connected
with the Kinau.
Two alleged insane FilipinoS
were taken into custody last week
by the police. Plans had been
made to send them to Honolulu
on the Kinau Friday afternoon,
but the weather prevented, anI
they are still locked up in the
local "Kalakaua Hotel"
The community Christmas tree
given i'll the Hawaiian Hall was
quite an enjoyable affair for the
kiddies and everybody who came.
Fortunately the wind had about
died down and the rain had al
ready stopped early in the even
ing.
The Liberty Bakery, in order to
take care of the demands made
upon it by this growing commu-
nifty, has installed a new fuel oil
burner for its large stove. They
also installed a "Delco" lighting
plant some time ago.

THE CROCKETT REFINERY

(Bishop Trust Co. Weekly Letter.
Alessrs. Bottomley, Waterhouse and
Davies returned from San Francisco
tuesday morning and a number of
conferences were Immediately held.
A toliing system will be introduced.
ms means tnat our plantations will
sell their sugar TO the refinery out
right as IN the past, receiving there
for 1870 OF the price, and adjustment
Tor the balance will be made at the
end of the year, after deducting the
refining cost and percentage profit.
The new system protects the refinery
and relieves it OF the element of risk.
1t is possible that the sugar agen.
cIes may buy their plantations stock
in the Sugar Factors at $40 per share
a figure based on the present price of
sugar. In addition the sugar factors
will probably surrender their present
stock in the Refinery and take a much
smaller amount OF preferred stock.
Common stock to the amount of about
$l0,00O,O00 will be taken by the plant
ations.
The present debt OF the Refinery
is $2S,O00,0O0 and it has on hand
about 10000 tons of sugar. A rising
price of sugar means therefore less
loss.

The same conditions are holding
good all over the country, and par
ticularly in the larger cities,
where the landlords have lost all
respect for humanity, and care
less Of the misery they may cause
are extorting every dollar they
can get from an unfortunate, who
must pay or move out into the
street. Tenements are scarce,
and they are growing scarcer, as
the cities become more and more
congested, and this condition
gives the landlords their opportu-

the situation; and, where there
are no laws to protect the people,
legislative or court action should
be sought at once to bring the con-

should assess taxes upon such
properties upon a basis of income,
regardless of the actual value of
the property, from an assessors
viewpoint; for it is the income
that regulates the value, rather
