at the Waikiki court house and at the
residence of A. N. Kepoikai were placed
AT half-mast in respect to the memory of
the late Chief Justice Judd, the news of
whose death reached Maui that morning.
Mr.. Taylor hopes to have the Waikiki
waterworks completed by the 4th of July.
1t is probable that a subscription luau
will be given in Wailuku to celebrate the
event.
The H. c. Co. is blowing new land just
below the new ditch which as yet is in
complete. This ditch goes through the
Paia and Hamakuapoko plantations
lands, for which privilege the two last
mentioned plantations are to have one
tenth of the water. The water from this
viaduct will rrigate the mauka lands of
Spreckelsville plantation situated in Ma
kawao.
Mr.. C. D. Loveland of Hamakuapoko
met with a most painful and serious acct
dent while experimenting the placing in
position of the new iron fence in front of
the Makawao cemetery, .On the I'D in
slant Some hot lead struck him in the
eve the shock of which knocked him
backwards. A Japanese assistant ex-
tracted from his eye piece of lead as
large as a thumb nail. Mr.. Loveland
thought at first that his sight was de-
stroyed, but hopes now to fully recover.
Mrs. Gibbons is a guest of Mrs. L. Won
Tempsky at Haleakala ranch.
Horn flies are extremely bad in kula
and Makawao regions. scarcely a horse

At Puuomalei, Makawao, there has been
but ten clear days in forty.
Weather-Heavy wind; frequent show
ers and muddy roads.

NOTES FROM sPREcKE1sv1LLF
,, Big Yield of Sugar Certain for This
Season.
Especial Correspondence


SPRECKELSVILLE. May %. = The
grinding season is now far enough ad-
vanced to make it plain that it will not
finish before July 81, and that the crop
will reach at least 1900 tons. Next year.
with the addition of the Kihei cane, about
double that amount will have to be
dealt with, and after that the new mill
will begin to produce from 10000 tons the
first year to a considerable increase on
that figure in the seasons to follow.
The last month has given copious
showers of welcome rain and some splen-
did weather for growing cane. The fields
of young cane for the next crop are in
splendid condition and promise a much
more excellent yield of sugar than any
thing seen here before. The aspect OF
the labor problem does not look sc
threatening as it did some months ago
and il now seems probable that no Seri-
Gus clash will occur from the impending
changein the labor laws. Nearly all the
laborers from the new Molokai planta-
tons, together with a large number
from Lanai and Kauai. have been recent
ly set at liberty and dispersed amongst
the older plantations, and this has con-
sioerably lessened the scarcity that late
My seemed imminent. The attempts to
make Italians, Spanish and Tyrolese ad-
ditions to our labor supply have been the
reverse of encouraging, and it seems as
if the Japanese would still have to be
repienish our field forces.
A new locomotive, the "Puunene," has
just arrived and been set up. 1t is being
used at present by the Kahului Railroad
Company until the broad-gauge line on
the plantation is nearer completion.

Notes of Small Events.

Notes of Small Events.
Wailuku should take lesson from Ho-
nolulu and Hilo in the matter of holiday
sports. Nothing marks the progressive
spirit of town so much readiness to
take hold of and promote public gather
ings for races fairs and other similar en-
tertainments.
A note of new buildings going ,n in
Waiuku will be found in the local col
umns this week. Wailulxu is not boom
ing, but il is growing, and will continue
to do so for long time.
Wailuku should lay aside politics and
rumors of politics for a while and begin
to get ready for a Fourth of July cele-
bration.
The Waikiki Union School will give its
entertainment on Friday, June Sth.
Fred. Hayselden, Jr., of Lanai, is spend
ing the week in Wailuku, and will return
to Maunalei tomorrow.
The Kihei plantation is having a large
! hospital erected at Camp 8, which will
soon be ready for occupancy.
Supt. Taylor of the Wailuku water
works returned from Honolulu on Thurs
day morning, bringing a welcome sack
with him.
The advent of the trade winds has
driven away the mosquitoes and malaria,
and Wailuku is now the healthiest and
happieSt town west of anywhere.

Censures the Board.
The infected portions of Kahului are to
be thrown open at the end of four
months from the last death from plague.
In this two unpardonably stupid mis-
takes have been made by the Honolulu
Board of Health. The first was to have
excluded the residents east of the railroad
from their homes SO long, where there
has been no plague, and the second is to
open up the portion of town where the
plague actually found a foothold, too
soon. The evils arising from the first
mistake have already been experienced.

1t is true that the Board of Health de-
serve credit for the mastery manner in
which they met, fought and conquered
the plague in Kahului. But. the victory
won, they should not go to sleep on their
laurels. Remember. gentlemen, that Ka-
hului is seaport, and one through
which an enormous import and export
trade Is daily flowing. There is no ap-
parent excuse for the long delay which
has occurred in the matter of segregating
that part of the district. No longer de-
lay should be permitted in the matter of
opening up all the portions of town which
may be safely thrown open to public trade
and travel. In this connection the News
makes personal appeal to DIR. Garvin,
who thoroughly understands the situa-
ton, to use his influence to have Kahului
properly rehabilitated at once.

A Probable Suicide.
On Tuesday afternoon vaquero of the
Spreckelsville plantation found the dead
body of a Japanese hanging to the limb
of a kiawe or algeroba tree between
Camp and Kihei. The matter was at
once reported to the sheriff'S office, and
Deputy Sheriff A. N. Hayselden went out
to investigate, accompanied by DIR. John
Weddick The body had evidently been
dead for more than three weeks, and was
disfigured beyond all recognition The
man had apparently climbed the tree,
wrapped the sash of his kimona around
a limb, and then tied the two ends of the
sash around his neck. There We're no ev-
licences of foul play. A number of Jap
anese from Camp and also from kihei
were brought to view the remains, but
were unable to identity them. A coro-

said Japanese came to his death by his
own hands by hanging himself to a tree
by the neck until he died.
