the earth at 7:20. The total eclipse

began at S: 30 and ended at 9:59,the moon leaving the shadow anilshining brightly again at 11:9.People all over the island were outwatching the incident.

It may be of interest to know

that tlio Hawaiian Islands will haveanother total eclipse of the moonthis year. It will occur on thenight of December 27, starting at

9:35 p. in., the moon clearing theshadow at 12:57 on the morning of

the 2Sth.There will be still another total

eclipse of the moon this year. Itwill occur on July 4th., but on ac-

count of that being America's In-

The sun-wil- l not favor the Islandswith any unusual stunts in 1917,although it will be partially shadedto other parts of the world, fourtimes January 22, June IS, JulyIS and December 13.

The eclipse was made the finerby the fact that it was ''full moon"night.

SKETCH OF IIIACANYON DIORAMA

D. Howard Hitchcock, returningfrom the Waimea canyon on Saturday last, gave an informal exhibit

'of his preliminary sketch for the! Kauai diorama, at the home of Mr'and Mrs. J. M. Lydgate, which wasattended by a goodly number ofthose most interested.

In spite of adverse weather conditions, the artist had been success- -

uu in malting a very impressivesketch about five feet by fifteeninches, which gives an excellentidea of the vivid coloring and theimpressive grandeur of that wonderful region.

This sketch will be carefully andaccurately enlarged for the dioramato a finished picture, 30 by 10. feetwhich will be set in the alcove,with a prepared realistic, natural,foreground, and then skilfully light-

ed, the whole to give the effect ofthe actual scene. The Kauai' viewis to be one of seven, representingthe chief attractions of the Islands,including the Volcano, Ifaleakala,Honolulu from Tantalus, and theview from the Pali. They will bo

' housed in a .special building of artistic design, on Bishop street, op-

posite the Young Hotel. Work isbeing rushed on the whole enter-prise so that it may be ready forthe Mid-Pacif- ic Carnival.

Hitchcock has in hand two ofthese dioramas, Waimea Canyonand Haleakala, and Waldron theothers.

Kauai is to be congratulated inhaving her glorious scenery set forthby a son of the soil, who has knownand loved them intimately foryears, and who will display themwith an affectionate as well as anexperienced and skillful hand.

Sugar, 5.39.Honolulu Keawckame, the man who found the murdered Kanuha

boys in Makiki, reported yesterday, is being held on suspicion of com-mitting the murders. It is claimed that there was blood on the bottomsof his trousers and his back. The presence of two axes is not explained.

The Planters Association will send Dr. Norris to the mainland toinvestigate refining matters.

II. Gooding Field will ask the Legislature for a law which will pre-vent certain kinds of nets which, he claims, are destroying Hawaiian fish.

The Oanu delegation of the Legislature meets and decides on legis-lation to have primary elections in May and regular elections in June.

An Advertiser special wire says that Superintendent Forbes has call-ed on Secretary Lone, anil that the secretaryship of Hawaii now lies be-

tween Palmer Woods and Curtis P. Iaukea.The final contest over the Puunui outlet is expected tonight. It is

claimed that to open the old route through the grounds of the countryclub would take three holes olT the golf links.

BURGLARY ON THE

ISLAND OF NliHAU

For the first time in forty years aburglarly has occurred on the islondof Niihau, the victim being JohnRonnie, manager of the interests ofGay it Robinson. The guilty par-

ties are native boys, they taking813.50 and 818.50 respectively incash from Mr. Rennie's oflice.

The burglarly was committed lastAugust, but it was a long time be-

fore the guilty parlies were appre-hended. The boys were brought toKauai last week and appeared beforeJudge Dickey, sitting as juvenileofficer.

A problem confronted the court,for the reason that the boy's underordinary circumstances, would beless likely to go wrong again on thepeaceful and law-abidi- island ofNiihau than in the reform school.It was, therefore, decided to sendthem back to Niihau on probationand under certain restrictions

The boys broke into the ranchoffice all right enough, and theburglarly was committed in regula-tion style, save that only a little

(money was taken, 8150 in cash being left behind.

The Nawiliwili Breakwater

I'iissonRcrs arriving at ami depart inn from Nawiliwili in the past ten1nyn have had most harrowing expiTieix't's. W reuMzc that thin in not"roo1 advertising" for Kanai, hut the truth is always the best in thelong r 11. It is doubtful that anywhere on earth, in a supposedly usablelanding place, have ladies and children and even men been subject-ed to so much nerve-wreckin- g hardship and danger as they have metwith here during and immediately following the holiday season. ' It hasbeen necessary to toss passengers from gangways into small lniats (hit ormiss) as the waves surged; and to take them aboard in the same danger-ous fashion. Baggage and valuables have been overturned into the bay,and have been lost. It seems like a miracle that, not a few, but many,lives have not been sacrificed ; and this can only be accounted for, per-haps, by t tie fact that the sailors of the ships are expert in manipulatingtheir landing boats and handling passengers in turbulent waters.

In the winter months passenger trailic at Nawiliwili is paralyzedand there is no such thing as freight business on account of the exposedcondition of one of the most beautiful and serviceable harbor prospectsof which we have knowledge. The great fugar industry has to draw awayfrom its largest, most natural and most convenient port, and carry onits shipping in a "eateh-as-cateh-ca- sort of fashion, in small bays.

This state of things is not modern; it is not American. The UnitedStates government would not allow it to exist a month on the Atlanticor Pacific coasts, or the Gulf of Mexico. Why here?

Perhaps it is because we are so far away. Perhaps the members ofCongress do not yet realize the importance of the project, despite thepleading of Delegate J. K. Kalanianaole and the endorsement of itsmembers who visited Nawiliwili a year and a half ago. Aside from thematter of convenience and safety of passengers, perhaps they do not realize the importance of this breakwater at Nawiliwili to the Americanhomesteaders who have taken up land, built homes and have staked theirall and the success of their children on sate and adequate shipping facilities at Nawiliwili. Perhaps they do not realize the importance of thisproject to the dozens of American steamers and sailing vessels visitingthis island (A fine American vessel is now on the rocks at the mouth ofHanapepe river as the direct result of insecure harbor facilities.)

The appeal of Kauai to Congress for the appropriation for the break-

water and harbor facilities at Nawiliwili has never been a selfish one. Itis not in the slightest sense a "pork barrel" proposition. As the peoplehere know absolutely it to be, the project would ensure the safety andcomfort of the American public travelling to and from this island ; wouldprevent the wrecking of slops and loss of valuable property as now oc-

curs at not infrequent intervals; would bring success to the Americanhomesteaders who have boldly struck out as pioneers in farming, as thatterm is understood all over the United States; would facilitate the greatexport business from this island to the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, aswell as intervening States; and would aid, as nothing else could, in theincrease of purchases by this island from the mainland of our country.

It is plain that we are not asking something for nothing. It is plainthat we are asking for something, to give a great deal more in return.In fact it is perfectly clear to us here that the improvement would payfor itself (from the standpoint of the people of the mainland of the Unit-ed States) in less than five years, and probably less than two years afterthe facilities are ready to be utilized.

The Prohibition Wave

Does the average reader of newspapers and current literature, in-

terested in the remarkable temperance wave which has been sweepingover the United States, actually know what the situation is today, afterthe changes made by the recent election? Does the average reader reallyknow that there are only three wet States in America today? and thatonly two of them are States of large population?

Well, it is a fact. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada are theonly States in America in which the liq"uor traflic continues to hold itsold -- time sway.

In addition to these are a group of States in which they have localoption, in which less than fifty per. cent, of territory is without saloons.These States are: Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, New Mexico,Utah, Wyoming and California. These may be classed as "near wet"States.

The next group includes that of States having less than fifty per.cent, of wet territory, and may be classed as "near dry" States. Theyare: New Hampshire, Vermont, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Indiana andMinnesota.

Finally come the group of "dry States," as follows: Maine, Vir-ginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota,North Dakota, Colorado, Arizona, Montana, Idaho, Washington andOregon.

Only eleven more Statrs are needed by the group in the last listabove to carry prohibition as a national proposition it requiring two-thir-

(32) of the States to put through a Constitutional amendment.The "drys" now lave nn admittedly close call on the seven States inthe second list above, and if they are gained, only four more will beneeded. In the first group the "near wet States" there are severalwhich are leaning strongly to the dry side of the question, and closestudents of the situation tell us that there is liable to be a scramblefrom that group, at tne next opportunity, for "the dry wagon."

It is very doubtful that the prohibitionists will be able to carry theirpoint at the present session of Congress, or even at the next althoughthey will lie abbs to put up a terrific fight. Two years from now, how-ever, unless something very extraordinary happens, it is highly probablethat it will be "curtains" for the liquor traflic in America.

'Our Army Problem

The American papers are just now full of a lot of talk about thefailure of the National Guard on the Kio Grande.

It is plain that a large majority of the writers are "pen soldiers"only.

The National Guard is made up of men with business responsibili-ties which are disrupted when they are called away. In many cases (in theStates, we mean) they return from a ampaign like that on the RioGrande, to find themselves out ot employment. Worst of all, theirfamilies, in a very large number of instances, suiter, for the reason thatthe pay of soldiers is insullicient to keep up the expenses which 'NationalGuardsmen had previously been called upon to bear.

Had there been war on the Rio Grande it is a safe gamble that therewould never have been a complaint from a true National Guardsman.But when it developed into a case of hanging around for months andpicking cactus thorns out of their feet for pasttime, the murmurs started

The whole trouble with our army system has its beginning and endin the pay of the men of the regular army. There is no flinching fromthat proposition on the part of anybody. We go ahead and decide on alarger army. Then, with bugle calls and attractive posters on the wallsin cities, invite the young men of the land to enlist. Every man fromthe time of Joshua knows the hardships 1 a soldier s life, and it s daniters. Ami what do we offer our young men for this sacrifice?

Fifteen dollars a month, when any foreigner in the United Statescan make fifteen dollars a week packing brick up a ladder!

The proposition is unworkable, is absurd yes, is ludicrous; andthe sooner we Americans look it squarely in the face, and act accordingly, the U tter.

There is nothing the matter with the National Guard. It is not thfault of the regular army that its own ranks are not full and that Stab

troops have to help it do picket duty i'tuid tin- - nusquit llmins of Texas.Had average lt)l(i wages been paid for ''regulars" on the l!io Grandeour standing army would have been full of men, the services of the Na-

tional Guard would not have been required for police duty there, a greatdeal of hardship and suffering would have been saved and it wouldhave cost the government and country a very great deal less.

It does not take either a strategist or financier to see that, with halfnn eye. .

Destructive Criticism .

The practise of indiscriminate criticism of the governors of Hawaiihas gone so far that it has become detrimental to the best interests ofthe Territory. It is a. pasttime that costs nothing to those indulging inif , but it confuses and sets at wrong angles public, business. GovernorDole, Governor Carter, Governor Frcar, all good men, were badgered outof ollice by niwre or less irresponsible critics; .and now Governor Pink-ha- m

is coming in for pot -- shooting from the same sources.We can never have successful Territorial gevernment until a policy

of constructive, rather than destructive, criticism is adopted by oui think-ing men; and the irresponsible critics are suppressed entirely. And thefault is entirely at Honolulu. The outer islands-'.hav- always taken a

broader, more patriotic stand in this regard. Honolulu's city governmentis driven into confusion and scandal purely and solely on- - account ofirresponsible badgering; and that government will never be a successuntil the nefarious practice is stopped.

If the people of Honolulu would work with their city government,in place of against it, the result would be far more satisfactory than at

present. And if they would work with the Territorial government, witha view to constructive policies, in place of pulling backward and fryitc:to pull down, there would be a different state of things and the wholeTerritory would be better pleased.

v Reckless Driving On Roads

In this matter of reckless automobile traflic. it would seem as thoughthere was need for some more effective supervision ami some more ade-

quate protection to the public.The law abiding citizen, who pays his taxes, is entitled to protec-

tion against lawless attempts on his property or his person, even thoughit may be only in such trilling ways as may constitute annoyances ratherthan injuries. In the menace of these automobile disasters we arc threat-ened not only by large losses of property but of life as well. The reck-

less or malicious throwing of broken glass on the roads, drunken andreckless driving, undue speeding in populous or dangerous places, an ex-

clusive monopoly of more than half of the road, etc. these are a stand-ing menace to life and property, which even the most innocent and care-

ful may not escape. It would seem as though, in a oivihzed community,we ought to be protected against these dangers as we are supposed tobe against the burglar antl the sneak thief.

Automobile Courtesy

One of the courtesies of life which isassuming impressive impoitaucein these days of increasing automobile traflic, is a fair shaie of the pub-

lic highway. There are, we regret to say. too many drivers who "hog thewhole of the road," with much discomfort, and no liltle danger, to thosewho must travel on the same roads with them. Many of them doubt-

less have recently emerged from barbarism, and don't understand whatourtesy is; they may have to be taught what right is, and what compul

sion means.There have already been some casualties resulting from tins sort of

folly ; the future boubtless holds many more. One of these days therewill be a grand smash-up- , and a lot of people will he lulleM. 1 lien drastic measures will be taken to reform or eliminate these sons of Jehu withtheir hearts of Jezebel; then we may at length be able to travel our roadswith a measure of comfort and safety. Heaven speed the day!

ceived and upon motion of Mr.Brandt, seconded by Mr. Menefog-lio- ,

the Sheriff was given full author-ity to appoint a policeman for theEleele section of the Koloa district,but only after he has consulted thepetitioners and others in Eleele.

The report (P 1372) of the pound-maste- r

A requisition (P1373) for repair-ing the teachers' cottage at Eleelewas referred to Mr. Moragne withfull power to act in the premises.

The report (P1374) of the coun-

ty road supervisor for the month ofDecember was received and placedon file. It was as follows:

"Up to the 18th. not much roadwork was done. On the 18th. veryheavy rains fell in the mountains,being extremely heavy in the watersheds of Waimea ami Wainihastreams and other streams in theirvicinity. The Waimea stream washigher than ever known at andabove its junction with the Maka-we- li

stream. The town of Waimeawas flooded but fortunately thehighest water came at low tide andthe mouth of the river was open,otherwise serious damage wouldhave been done. Very little damagedone to roads except away up thevalley where there is but little traf-fic.

At Kekupua, the whole valleywas flooded, coveiing the road be-

tween the two bridges; the fenceson both sides of the road were wash-

ed away but the asphalt bound ma-cadam was not injured in the least.Lawai stream, in Koloa district,was very high; the concrete arch

bridge had about all it could do tocarry the water, which was up tothe top of the arch.

Hanalei stream was near its high-

est mark and the road was coveredfrom the bridge as far as the roadfollows the river must have beenthree feet of water in places, butvery little damage done.

Waiole stream was over the roadon both sides of the bridge, camenear cutting away the whole roadat a point 150 feet from bridge onHaena side; the lower half wentfor a distance of 30 feet or so.

Waipa stream was extremelyhigh, went over the road just as if

there was no bridge there and wash-

ed out the high fill approach on theHaena side of the bridge for a dis-

tance of 93 feet clear across the oldchannel of the stream. At this placea new pile structure of light butstrong construction has been erectedwhich will be ready for traffic to-

day. No damage, at Waikoko.A number of small slides occurred

between Waikoko and Lumahainone of which were largo enough toblock traffic. Wainiha was muchhigher than ever known to be; thewater was at least IV2 feet over thefloor of the bridge. Some of thevillage houses were washed away.The bridge was not damaged butthe small culvert 200 feet or so onHanalei side of the bridge washedout'and about 40 feet of the madwent with it. The macadam on bothsides for a distance of several hun-

dred feet was damaged. A slideopposite Wainiha warehouse on Ha-

ena road completes the list of dam-

ages to the main road.Water Works: Kekaha Water

Works finished, is now in use andgiving good satisfaction. At Kala-heo improvement pipe laying hasbeen going slow but will probablybe finished in a month or so. AtAnahola the intake has been blastedout and trenches made ready forlaying. The water is to be takenfrom Anaholx stream at a point2000 feet or so above the bridgeabout 3 or 4 hundred feet mauka ofthe government ditch intake.

Schools: The new teachers' cot-

tage at Mana was completed on the29th. This cottage was built ofmaterials of the old cottage removedfrom former site and is a neat com-

fortable house, consisting of twobed-room- s, kitchen, bathroom andlarge screened room, which is pro-

tected by a veranda on two sides.All other school matters received

attention "In the matter of a County war-

rant (being No. 5419) for 821.00,dated Lihue, Kauai, October 5,1910, drawn by the county auditorin favor of one W. K. Saniuola up-

WEATHER BUREftU

WOULD GOME HERE

Wm. Henry Rice, Kauai memberof the Hawaii Promotion Commit-tee, lias received the following in-

teresting and self -- explanatory letterfrom A. P. Taylor, secretary of thatorganization:

"Mr. Hamriek, Director of theUnited States Weather Pureau at

Honolulu, has authority to extendhis service to many other points inthe Islands.

"In conversation with me on thissubject today he stated that equip-

ment' such as barometer, thermo-

meter and other special instrumentsneeded to obtain records of the

. weather would be furnished to anyparticular point providing someperson in each district will do thepro lono act by taking the readingsof the various instruments daily andforwarding the same to his depart-

ment. There will be no compensa-tion for anyone.

. On this Island for many yearssuch men as W. R. Castle and oth-

ers have furnished Mr. Hamriek alldaily readings of their instruments.Mr. lianinek lias been givenauthority to establish a station onMidway Island, and he hopes to beable in time to forecaste weatherconditions from the daily records re-

ceived from Midway and from thevarious islands of this group.

From our own standpoint,strikes me that it would be a verydesirable thing to have weather conditions from your island receiveddaily by Mr. Hamriek which wouldbe furnished to this committee andcould be displayed on our bulletinboard every day. This would bequite helpful to tourists who makeinquiry at our counter concerningtheir plans to visit other islandsand as to the weather conditions.From this standpoint alone, I lie-lie-

it would be a valuable thingindeed.

"I am bringing this to your at-

tention, as a member of our Promo-tion Committee and believe it mightbe well to bring it before the KauaiChamber of Commerce which or-

ganization could then take the mat-ter up directedly with Mr. Ham-riek at Honolulu."
