RESIGNATION OF COUNTY
ENGINEER

J. H. Moragne has been appointed
chief civil engineer for the American
Factors interests on Kauai and will
assume the duties of the position just
as soon as he can be released from
his county responsibilities which will
probably be in a few days.
He will devote himself Immediately

stead region.
Mr. Moragne has been county en-
gineer most of the time since County
government was organized-a dozen
years or so. During this time he has
won for himself all envious reputation
for ability, energy. efficiency and good
judgment. Especially in the matter of
good roads. road construction, and road
upkeep, his fame has gone abroad
throughout the Territory, and various
other Islands have said III we only
had a Moragrse. we would have good
roads, too
He has certa MY been an excellent
servant of the County, and his resigna-
ton will be a distinct loss to the Is
land.
He will probably lie succeeded by
Robert Middleton. who has been with
Mr. Moragne for "A long time, and has
become fnmil,ar and proficient in the
conduct of the various affairs handled
by the County Engineer. He will un-
doubtedly handle the work along the

1t looks now as though the Ahukini
Harbor scheme would go through with.

thrashed out by the board of harbor
commissioners, and satisfactory
agreement has been arrived at which
will warrant the execution of the work.
OF course. this matter will go to the

The one important provision protect.

SOCCER SERIES
STILL UNSETTLED

1t begins to look as though Lihue
and McBryde will have to toss coin
to decide the championship of the
1920 soccer series. After the most
gruelling game of the season; and
after thirty minutes of extra play, with
every man extending himself to the
utmost to secure the coveted goal
which would spell chamionship honors
for his team, last Sundays soccer
game at Lihue grounds, ended in a
tie, / to 1.
It was. by long odds, the finest ex-
hibition of soccer yet put up-full Of
tense situations and with many bits
OF mastery play by both teams. Time
and time again the battle ragged around
the goal posts, and time after time
goal keepers Richter and Christian
succeeded in getting the ball moment
arily out of danger.
Lihue was the first to score, M.
Fernandez shooting a goal about the
middle of the first half Everything
looked to be lovely for Lihue in the
second half, even though the ball was
in their territory most of the time, and
perilously near the goal posts at times.
Then somebody on the Lihue team
did something he shouldn't have and
McBryde was given a penalty kick
Christian. at goal, succeeded in block
ing the kick, but could not get the ball
out of danger, and it was put through
Umpire Siebel dnd not allow the point
because of an error Of Judgment, so
the game went on to the finish with
the score standing one to nothing in
flavor of Lihue.
After the game umpire Siebels at
.Jntion was called to the error he had
made in his decision regarding the
goal made by McBryde, so he reversed
1t and ordered the teams to play an
extra fifteen minutes to decide the
game, This was done, but fifteen
minutes was not enough time, SO they
played smother fifteen, but it simply
was no use, try as they might neither
team could score. So it was decided
to call it off for the day and play an
other game, the time and place to be
decided at meeting of the league at
Koloa hall Thursday evening.
