JUDGE ACH| HANDS
DOWN DECISION

Judge William Achi of the Fifth
District Court handed down a deci.
sion in the case of the Territory of
Hawaii VS.. Gay and Robinson, bet.
ter known as the Koua case. The
property involved is the Iii of Kou-
la and the most valuable part is the
water rights of Hanapepe valley.
Judge Achi handed down a verdict
in favor of the defendants in a de.
cision of more than 20 pages.
The judges decision takes the
case from all angles and is very com.
plete. The history of the case dates
back to 1S4S when the first award
by the crown was made. The govern
ment contended that the award only
constituted about 7S0 acres while
the defendants claimed some 1900
acres. Judge Achi's decision substan-
tiates the defendants claim. There
is no doubt that the case will be ap-
pealed and finally reach the supreme
court of the United States.
The property involved is conserva.
lively estimated to be worth half a
million dollars. 1t is said that the
revenue from the water rights to
Hanapepe valley are around $4,000
a year.

ROP|NG CONTEST

A fragment from Cheyene's From
tier Day and Pendleton Round Up
VIII be given at Waipouli by the
American Legion when they stage
their steer roping contest and cow
boy sports on Armistice Day. 1t is
doubtful If any announcement of a
program ever caused more excite
ment than the one in which the
Legion stated that a steer roping
contest for the Championship of
Kauai would be at Waipouli.
No record can be found where
such contest had ever been held
on Kauai and it is believed to be
the first opportunity for local peo-
pie to witness contest of this
sort. Contests have been held in
Honolulu and local men have acquit-
ted themselves creditably but a
local championship has never been
held.
For any person that is under the
impression that this will be a sort
of amateur affair, it is only fair to
state that the Territory Of Hawaii
sent two entries to the steer roping
contest at Cheyenne at one of their
famous frontier days and the two
Hawaiian entries walked off with
the first and third prizes and
broke the worlds record in the bar.
