Kauai Chamber
To Hold Meeting
ANNUAL ELECTION OF OFFICERS
TO BE HELD THURSDAY
NIGHT

The Kauai Chamber of Commerce
will hold its annual meeting at the
Tip Top Cafe next Thursday even
ing at $50. The meeting will be
preceded by banquet after which
the members will settle down to the
election of officers for the coming
year.
Although the election of officers
is the most important item of the
evenings business, there are many
other important affairs to come be
fore the chamber, according to Sec
retary John Midkiff.
The report of the nominating com
mittee will be made at the meeting
and if the selections of the commit.
tee meet with the approval of the
chamber, the new officers will be
elected by acclamation. There is
hardly any doubt that the chamber
will fail to approve of the commit
tee selections as they have never
failed to do so heretofore

FRANKIE FERNANDEZ
HAS NARROW ESCAPE

frankie Fernandez of Waipouli,
bookkeeper of Waimoa Stables, met
with an accident opposite the Ke-
ALA Catholic church on Sunday
morning that might have turned out
to be more serious than it actually
was.
Frank came out of the church and
started to crank his Ford, which
started before he could get in. See
ing that his sister-in-law, Daisy Ra-
poza was ON the car, Frank jumped
on to try and stop it, but Miss Ra-
poza jumped off. The Car was too
near the brink of the cut to be
stopped however, and the driver and
car pitched into the railroad cut,
which was about Is feet deep, land
ing head-first Frank was eXtricated
by others who were present and it
was found that he had escaped with
only some bruises on his left leg.
The car however, was damaged
considerably, and had to be tOwed
to Nawiliwili for repairs.

AND BICYCLE MIX 1T

runaway slop-wagon, bicycle
and an Essex car driven by Deputy
Sheriff Crowell of Waimea got in
to mix-up at Kapaa on Sunday
afternoon. just opposite the Fong
Garage. AS a result, the occupants
of the automobile, including Mrs.
Crowell and several children. had
the disagreeable experience OF hav.
ing slop spilled over their clothing,
Tokichi Dol, Kapaa pig rancher, lost
his wagon and several barrels, and
Manuel Nunes, a 15year old Portu.
guese boy, had his bicycle smashed
According to the police, Sheriff
Crowell was travelling towards Lihue

tion of the side road leading from
the Hawaiian hall, the runaway
wagon, minus its driver, hoved into
view. Too late to stop, the sheriffs
car smashed into the wagon, spilling

LEGION TO STAGE
VAUDEVILLE SHOW
IN SEPTEMBER

The amusement committee of the
local post of the American Legion
has been rather dormant since the
Oriental ball and pageant staged
last April, now announces that it
is about to stage a vaudeville show
during the month of September
There is no doubt that the Oriental
ball and pageant was a distinct ar
tistic and social success but unfor.
tunately it was not a financial sue
cess
This almost broke the thrifty
Scotch soul of Jim Corstorphine who
watches over the Legion finances
and he has issued an ultimatum to
the amusement committee that there
must be no more financial failures,
hence the quictness of the commit
tees during the past few months.
The committee has a wealth of
material from which to pick it's
acts for the show and at present
are busy wedding out the material
that they cannot use.
Several novelty numbers, which
according to the committee, would
have very little trouble getting on
the Orpheum circuit, will be on the
program and the complete program
will be announced shortly.

HUNTING PARTY
MAKES SAMPAN TRIP
UP MA PAIL COAST

A party made up of Norman Kinds,
Mortimer Percy and William Lyd
gate, Will Moragne, Richard Rice
Bob Mott-Smith, Tom Morgan and
Charles Fern, made a trip along the
Ma Pail coast last week in sam
pan.
The day was ideal for the trip
the sea being exceedingly calm. The
party started from Haena at day
break and cruised as far as Milo
lii, and turned back to Nulolo flats.
Here a stop was made and some of
the party fished while others in
vestigated the rope ladder lately
put in place at Nulolo by the Yale
exploring party. From here they
pulled up anchor and cruised to Ho-
nopu where all hands put ashore
for kaukau under the Honopu arch
Part of the party then climbed up
the cliff into the valley to hunt
goats where they were able to bag
several. The rest of the party spent
their time either fishing or swim
ming.
After the return of the hunting
party the start for home was made
and as a heavy wind had picked up,
the trip home was considerably
rougher than the morning trip.
The day for the trip could not
have been finer if it had been or
dered and there is no doubt that
If this sort of weather were more
general that the trip would be one
of the most popular in the islands,
1t was possible last Saturday to
land at any valley along the coast
even a landing at the rocky shores
of Nulolo valley could have been
made with ease.
Unfortunately this condition is
rare as most of the year heavy
| swells and surf are prevalent along
this shore making landing at the
valleys exceedingly difficult.

HATS WITH RIBBONS ON
IN THE POLITICAL RING

1t is rumored that there will be
at least two women candidates for
nomination to the House of Repre-
sentatives at the coming primaries.
1t is stated that one of these ladies
will be from the east side and the
other from the west side of the is
land.
If this is true, it will give some
of the candidates of the sterner sex
something to sit up nights and
tainly pull strong for their sisters.

Political Pot
Becoming Warm
MANY CANDIDATES ARE OUT
FOR SEATS IN LOWER
HOUSE

The political pot which has lain
signs of activity and it should no.
be long before it will resemble
Madame Pele at her widest mo
ments.
The interest at present is center
ed about the nomination for senate.
and just now only two candidates
are in the field. Senator G. a. Rice
is out for the nomination to sue
ceed himself, while his only oppon
ent now in view is N. X. Hoopii
of Kapaa. Hoopii was elected L
member of the house two years ago
and now aspires to the upper house.
His strength is an unknown quaint
ty and politicians are 10th to fore
cast just what sort of race he will
give Senator Rice.
Hoopale is being mentioned also
as a candidate but no information
can be CLEANED as to whether he
will be in the field or not. Some
of the freak bills that he proposed
in the last legislature will be the
hardest opposition for him to over
come. John won the championship
of the last legislature for freal
suggestions for laws.
The race for the house will have
a large field. Puni Hayselden is one
of the incumbents who is candi
date for reelection. Puni has beer
endorsed by the Hawaiian Civic
Club hs the haole candidate. Hoo
phi, another of the incumbents is
out for the senate. w. A. Fernandez
who was the fourth member of the
legislature from Kauai is now il
the orient.
Ed Gardiner of Hanalei will be &
candidate for the house, and as he
has secured the endorsement of the
Hawaiian Civic Club along with S
W. MCheula, he should be an i'm
portant factor in the race. Isaac
Kaiu of Kapaa will be a candidate
and should pull a strong vote from
the Hawaiian precinct as well as
the rest of the island.
Jack Coney has thrown his hat
into the ring and says he will be
there at the finish. Jack is an old
timer at the political game, having
served both in the house and the
senate ard would be good man fol
Kauai to have in the legislature, his
experience as lawmaker hai~~ q
valuable asset.
Who will represent the POr
tuguese has not been decided. The
Portuguese Civic Club has agreed
to endorse only one Portuguese can
didate Just who the fortunate mar
will be has not been decided, but
the club meets on August 9th ant
at this time the club will choose
their man. The two candidates il
the field for the endorsement are
A. @. Marcallino of Makaweli and
John Camara Jerves of Kalaheo.
