1t is reported that the roof and walls
of the picturesque little stone house
on the summit of Haleakala are in
deplorable condition. The stone walls
are crumbling and the iron of the roof
is in pieces, held in position by large
stones placed here and there. The
door is never locked and so the house
is at the mercy of every conner. The
furniture of the interior-the cot-beds,
oil stove, table, etc.-are wrecks. The
shareholders of "Craigielea" would be
grateful to any one offering suggestions
as to how the iron roof could be Sc
curely fastened to the stone walls. Ev-
cry eXpedient used thus far has failed.
