Miscellaneous Notes.

miscellaneous Notes.
No stage between Waikiki anu La
haina this week.
The Waikiki sanitary sub-insnecf-
ors are doing their work well ard
faithfully.
The schools in Kahului, and also m
all adjoining districts, have been closed
temporarily.
\The Honolulu Board of Health is
to be commended for prompt attention
20 the needs of Maui.
Notable differences were observed
between the bacilli of Honolulu and
those of Hilo. Naturally.
DR.. Winslow is in charge of the sick
on the Waikiki plantation during DR..
Weddick's enforced absence.
Central and East Maui have been re-
ceiving copiOus and much-needed show
ers during the past few days.
DR.. Garvin has splendidly vindicat-
ed the wisdom of the Board of Health
in selecting him for the responsible TO-
sition to which he has been assigned at
Kahului.
Attorney George Hons returned
from Honolulu on the Lehua last
Wednesday, bringing a bountiful sup
ply of sulphur and Rough on Rats for
free distribution.
Geo. Cummings and Ed. Montgom-
cry are authority for the statement
that Dr.. Boote had himself quaran.ined
in kahului on purpose-but they don't
state the purpose.
The road being built between Hama
and Nahiku by Judge Mckay is rapid
ly nearing completion, and the Judge
hopes to return to Waikiki and re-
sumo his duties as district magistrate
within month or so.
Manager Wells of the Wailuku Sugar
company states that if even one case
of plague develops on the plantation,
he will Immediately shut down the
mill and suspend operations until the
district is declared free from all fur
Their contagion. A sensible resolution.
There is no lack of hotel accommo-
dations at Waikiki, which is destined
to be one of the noted health resorts
of the Islands in the near future, and
ample accommodations will always be
found for Island and tourist travel
With lao valley and Haleakala as at
fractions, much of the latter may be
expected.
One of the Cinnamon who afterwards
became victim of the plague stated
it as his opinion that it had been
brought to Kahului in Chinese New
Year goods which had been brought
from Honolulu some months since and
had remained unopened till needed for
their New Year festivities. There is
not much doubt but that this is the
true theory of its origin as all the sur
rounding circumstances seem to co.,
roborate his opinion.

Wailuku Water Works.

For several years past Wailuku and
Kahului have been hoping for a sys-
tenn Of water supply from lao valley.
The Legislature voted the necessary
appropriation and several beginnings
were made, but heretofore nothing has
been accomplished. At one time the
pipe was sent here, but for some unex-
planned reason it was reshipped to Ho-
nolulu.
Finally the people of Wailuku and
kahulul became insistent, and aided
by the Honolulu press have finally in
duced the Government to begin work.
Under the supervision of Mr.. ]. r.
Taylor, plans have been drafted for
reservoirs and pipe lines, lands, rights
OF way and water rights have been ac-
Quired, and pipe ordered from the
Coast. The pipe arrived on the steam
er Cleveland and is now at the Waltz
ku depot.
A recent letter from Mr.. Taylor
brings the pleasing news that ne is
coming to Waikiki as soon as possible
to begin the actual work of cOnstruc-
ton. There is no scarcity of labor here
Tor that purpose, and the next few
months will probably see the compile
ton of our long-hoped-for and waited
for water works.
