Island Notes.


LAHAINA, MAUI.
Mr.. Turton is making many additions to his
sugar works. He has torn down the old mill
buildings and erected in their place a very large
structure OF wood and non. The two mills that
formerly grnaai the cane have been taken down.
and IA very large three-roIler mill erected OH the
nakai side Of the old mill. A long cane carrier
Is being butlt, on which TIA. cane is dumped from
the railway cars. The vacuum pan has been
raised ana Is to be enlarged by putting in a two
loot band IN the centre. A double effect has
also been added; also a mixer. The works, when
finished, ia a few months, will be about the most
complete OF any on the islands, and will take off,
easily, sixteen tons OF sugar per day. The cost
of additions 10 the works will amount to $780,
600. The railway is ia good running order. The
cane never looked better, and the crop this year
will be immense.
The Road Supervisor, Captain Taylor, has
been doing some good work on the roads. The
mill road, where 1T joins the road along the
beach, has been extended to twice its former
width, and properly drained. All the refuse
from the sugar works runs through covered pipes
right into the sea.
The sanitary condition Of Lahaina Is, In all
respects, tirst-class. DIR. Carpenter has been
doing n great deal of good, and has had lately
three quite bad cases that he has been successful
with. One was Il gun-shot wound, another an
arm that had 10 be set two weeks after it had
been broken, aud u case of fever that was very
low on his arrival there, was the third.
The people were rather astonished aud de-
lighted with a sight Of the electric light displayed
by the Iwalani when she touched in there last
week to land Mrs. Turton and party. The whole
shore line was brilliantly Illuminated, aud the
effect was very beautiful.
The examination Of st. Cross school passed
off very successfully last week. The examination
OF the Union school takes place ON the 10th in
slant.
WAnUKU, MAUI.
