WHAT ABOUT THE

cooperate and assist in every way
possible. The County Engineer has
written to the Department of Public
Works repeatedly urging the inaugur-
alton of the work, but without result.
Perhaps If the Roads Committee of
the Chamber of Commerce took the
matter up, it might have some effect.
The Governors attention also might
be called to it.

ROBERT FOUNTAIN

In simple justice to the memory of
Robert Fountain, recently deceased,
we would recall the kindly qualities
which made him always a popular
and friendly member OF the commu-
nifty and disposed every one to like
him,
. He spent most of his life here at
Lihue, and very large part of it in
the employ of what is now the Lihue
Store. For some years back he had
been in charge of the Grocery depart
ment, where he gave excellent salts
faction. Everyone liked to deal with
Robert. He was always courteous,
attentive, obliging and efficient. He
always impressed his patrons as do
ing the best he could for them.
Personally he was genial, generous,
and kindly,-with a good word for
everybody, and an honest desire to
make friends with everyone.

WORK GOES AHEAD
ON NEW HARbOR

Work is going forward rapidly on
the Nawiliwili Harbor, and every week
sees new developments. The big
water tank which will supply the
whole enterprise, situated high up on
the pail, is finished and the supply
pipe is laid, waiting only for the con-
nection across the river.
The pile driver is in place and at
work driving the piles for the bridge.
Three sets Of these piles have been
driven, and the rest will follow rapidly.
The road to the new quarters, far
along on the pail, is nearly completed.
1t is a ten foot road on an easy grade.
AS soon as this is finished, the
bridge completed across the river, and
the water connected up, the whole
gang will be moved to the new quar-
ters, which will be quite a saving Of
time and expense. Meanwhile house
room is at a premium in Nidmalu
One old Hawaiian lady has six dodgers
domiciled in her front room. She has
hard work to get through without step
ping on them. All kinds of plans are
afloat for lodging houses, stores, etc.

SWIPED A BARREL
OF SWIPES

1t is currently reported that there
is much booze in stock and available
about Wailua, where hard work is
being done, and men get very thirsty.
Recently some children "got onto
the fact that there was a barrel of
swipes cached in the cane field nearby
and in the goodness of their little
hearts they reported the same to
these thirsty men. A goodly depu-
tation visited the spot after hours, and
exhausted the stock at one go. The
moonshine owner of the same applied
to the superintendent next day for
redress,-they had stolen his goods,
and something should be done about
it." The superintendent agreed with
him and referred him to the sheriffs
department for justice. And there
it stands. The moonshiner says he
doesn't know the Sheriff.

WANT HELP TO HOLD LOT

John r. Bisho, vice-president and
director of the Honolulu Trail and
Mountain Club, was on Kauai last
week, and incidentally took up with
the Hele Loa Outing Club the matter
of occupation of their Kokee lot.
They have a very fine location
there, but to make good their holding
it must be occupied within six months
which they cannot conveniently do.
The Hele Loas will probably help
them out in the premises and acquire
holding interest.

HARDING FAVORS
THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE IDEA


President Harding is a member OF
the Chamber Of Comerce of his home
town, Marion, Ohio.
Throughout his long political
career, he has retained his member
ship, and his interest in the welfare
OF his home city has never wavered.
Here is what he says about the
Chamber Of Commerce idea:
Il do not know that / ever asked
myself why I joined the Chamber Of
Commerce, but / assume that it was
because l was in the newspaper bus.
mess, committed to the policy of ever.
lasting boosting of our home town,and
we looked upon a Chamber of Com.
merce as the best organized agency
for carrying on the boosting work
1t all came very naturally to me be-
cause of the normal atmosphere of 6
newspaper office, which is ever con.
cerned with the progress and develop
l'emnt of the community which thai
newspaper seeks to serve.
IF l were to "disassociate myself
from the newspaper business / shoulC
assume / would be attracted to
Chamber of Comerce because business
is the life blod of material existence
and no community is worth while un
less it is very alert to businss pro
gress and greater commercial devel
i opment.
Il know something Of the inspiring
work which is done by the live secre
taries of the Chamber Of Commerc
throughout the country. They ar
ever pushing forward with such yea
that they take a great community o
business men with them.
Il like to think that the thing whicl
boosts the community is certain t
make progress for the nation, and
should like our gerat republic to hea,
the list of the great commercia
nations of the EARTH"
