MAUI NOTES.

The telephone system on sne
island is an excellent one and in
fine working order, thanks to the
energetic superintendent MIR. Car
lev. Subscribers are increasing all
the time.
Mr.. A. F. Hopke. the popular
manager of the Kahului store and
U. S. Consular Agent, leaves on the
September steamer for visit in the
Eastern States, to be absent about
three months. He has not been away
from the islands in nine years, and is
certainly entitled to vacation. May
he thoroughly enjoy it.
Messrs. Millward and Armstrong
of Paia went out in brake on the
18th. Some part of the harness
broke, the horse became frightened
and ran away. MIR. Armstrong was
the first to be thrown out and es-
capped injury. Mr.. Millward was not
so fortunate, as in falling out his
head struck stone. He was dazed
and somewhat bruised. DR.. Crane
was called and Mr.. NJ. will soon be
all right again.
Sixty silver dollars had quite an
experience at Makswao one day last
week. The complete story would
almost fill book.
AIaliko Gulch is looking exceed
ingly picturesque at the present
time. There was a very heavy
freshet there on the 18th.
More hospitable people than those
on Maui cannot be found anywhere.
Mr.. A. T. Atkinson, the energetic
Inspector General of Schools, has
been at Spreckelsville during the
week to locate a school there. He
has accomplished the work and re-
turned to Honolulu.
Messrs. Harry Baldwin and G. w.
Dickey of Pais, and Henry Alexsn-
der of Honolulu, leave on the Aus
tralia for Boston, Mass, where they
will attend the School OF Tech
nology.
A party of nineteen have recently
made the trip from Haiku through
the crater of Haleakala, out by the
Kaupo gap, through Kipahulu and
Hama, in twelve days, and had
glorious time. Six pack mules car
ried the grub, ETC." If all that was
said and done on that trip could be
put in book form, there would be
very interesting and saleable vol
ume.
Rev. DR.. Beckwith, pastor of the
Central Union Church, is spending
his vacation with his brother at
Makawao. They say the Doctor is
quite handy with the hoe. Mrs. and
Miss Beckwith are also at Makawao.
On the 21st a Portuguese laborer
entered MIR. G. H. Dickey's store at
Halnakuspoko, and deposited a
thousand dollars in silver in the
Postal Savings Bank.
Makawao can boast of the cosiest
church in the group, and the only
one outside of Honolulu that has a
pipe organ. The latter is a very fine
instrument.
Mrs. F. II. Stolz of Kshulul and
Miss NJ. A. Crittenden are going to
the Coast on the next steamer. The
former will be absent about three
months, while the latter's movements
are not decided upon. Certainly,
Miss Crittenden will be much missed
from Maui musical circles, as her
fine voice has given much pleasure
on different occasions.
Now that the sugar season is over,
repairs, ETC., are in order at Kahului.
One of the scows was hauled up on
the % Marine Railway" on Wednes-
day to be repaired and tarred, and
the others will undergo the same
operation.
Rev. w. D. Westervelt has been
supplying the pulpit at Makswso
during the absence of Rev. T. L.
Gulick in the States. The latter re-
turned on the Australia looking ex-
ceedingly well.
Dr. Crane, Government physician
for Makawao, is talking of going to
the States for good. He has given
much satisfaction.
Mr.. G. H. Dlckey, school agent for
the District of Makawao, is a live
man. The school facilities there are
excellent, owing to his perseverance
and tact.
MIR. Cowan, manager at Hamakua-
poke, says they will have eight hun
dred acres of cane to take off next
season. 1t looks well. The mill
starts up in December. The diffusion
so far has been an entire success.
The crop from Spreckelsville next
season will be between eleven and
twelve thousand tons.
There has been cloud burst on
Maui, and the road between Waikiki
and Maslaes has been considerably
damaged at certain points.
There are now two telephones at
Olinds.
DIR. Geo. Herbert is popular with
all classes on Maui.
The new Tourists Guide, book
is in much demand on the island.
The Maui Racing Association
doesn't owe cent and has about
three hundred dollars in the treas
