HAWAIIAN NAMES
 OUT AT ELECTION
Native Language Printed Beside
 the English

Honolulu, Nov. 19-While Eng lish-of a kind, at least-has re- placed Hawaiian as the official language in the territory of Hawaii, election time in the islands always sees a bringing out and dusting off of Hawaiian names.
 The reason is that the law pro- vides for ihe printing of the Hawaii an names of individuals on the bal lots, along with their "haole" (cau- casian) names. Voters of Hawaiian blood still conotrol the local cleo tions and they take an intense inter- est in politics.
 Twelve Letter Alphabet
 The Hawaiian names range from transliterations of haole names to description of person and profession. When Hawaiian was the language most spoken. the Hawaiian names were necessary, for the Hawaiian language contains but twelve letters: the vowels a. e, i, o. u. and the con- sonants, h, k. l. m. n, p, and W. Every vowel is pronounced. and the accent usually is placed on the next to the last syllable.
 Thus, in the recent election here, Charles Rose appeared on the ballot with "Kale Loke' '(Ka-lay Lo-kay) immediately beneath his 'haole'' name. James Bicknell also appeared as Kimo (the equivalent of "Jin1D Pikanele. and Charles Arnold as Kale Anala.
 Names Follow Professions
 Other Hawaiian names on the bal lot were descriptive. Dr. Dai Yen Chang appeared as Kauka Huki Niho, literally doctor pull tooth." He is a dentist. Lircoln McCandles was Linakona Eliwai, or Lincoln the well driller." Few Char was keiki Paikii. the young man who takes pictures.

 Lefors boasts that It is the only county seat without a jail. The jail has been leased to a neighboring town.
 Saw Mill on Plains
 Though located on an otherwise treeless plain, the town is hard by a forest of giant cotton woods.
 This fact leads to another dis tinction. The town has the only saw mill in a territory larger than half a dozen northern or eastern states.

Washington pitching staff has

by the county for road purposes
between the city and Holtvillc for
$3.50. Waterman had originally
asked for $400 per acre.
The contract for the fight arena,

awarded to Wilson & Sarlei for $ll,-
