COMFORTS
FOR MAUI
Complete Electric Plant
Planned.
KAHULUI is TO Be THE SITE
Lighting, Cold Storage, Ice, Soda
Water and Steam Laundry
Included.


four months Kahului will have an
, electric light plant. cold storage. an
ice and soda water pant ana q steam
, laundry ali under one management
says the Maui News. The plant will
be established at kahului, site for
that purpose having already been Sc
cured. The capital stock OF the enter
prise will be $4,000, the whole Of winch
I has already been paid in. Local capital
has taken $4,000 of the stock, and the
promoters have put up the rest. The
reason for putting up the whole of the
money at once Is that some years ago
a somewhat similar enterprise was un-
dertaken. and the treasurer skipped
with the funds. ......,.
Mr.. Grimwood, of Grimwood C Rich
ardson. and Mr.. w. III. Field of the
Maui drug store are the prime movers
in the enterprise. The directors of the
company will be Mr.. Grimwood Mr..
Field. w. Il. Robinson and Attorney
~. l.. Coke of Wailuku, and Col. w. II.
ICornwell of Waikapu.
The power for the electric light plant
will temporarily be a gasoline engine,
and eventually electric power from lao
Valley. Wires will at once be strung
from Kahului to Wailuku, so that
lights may be furnished here at an
early date. .-..
An up to- dpte ice machine will be In
stalled, and distilled water will be used
| in the manufacture OF ice and soda
water. A proposition was made to the
| local ice and soda plant to join the
enterprise, but we understand that the
proposition was not entertained. IT Is
probable, however. that there will be
a coalition later.
| Cold storage will be an important
feature of the enterprise, and a small
| gasoline steamer, fitted with cold stor-
age will be one Of the assets OF the
company. This steamer will ply be-
tween Maui and Honolulu, bringing fat
beef and mutton, and treating the
Honolulans to delicate Maui and Molo
kai mullet.
| A steam laundry will be put IN at
once, and the management promise
that within four months the entire
| plant will be in full blast.
NEW HOTEL AT KAHLUUI
Plans have been perfected for the
new hotel at Kahului and as soon as
carpenters arrive from Honolulu. work
will be begun and pushed to n finish,
| The hotel Will be a two-story frame
building with six large. we'll ventilat-
ed rooms upstairs. On the first floor
4 Will be the dining room, parlors, sit
ting room. reading room and smoker,
one large bedroom. kitchen, bath
rooms, pantrys. etc.
| The hotel will stand just west of the
new wharf. close by the waters edge
Large lanais will surround both the
lower and upper floors, the latter to
probably be enclosed with glass on the
makai SIDE making a fine observatory. |
The hotel Is being built by the Fl. c. |
i S. Co. at the suggestion Of Superin- |
tendent Filler, and is intended for the |
convenience of travellers. rather than
a money making proposition. If we'll |
managed. however, it cannot help
paying. t-'

WAILUKU WANTS A PREACHER. l.
While developing the material side OF
Wailuku, her citizens are not unnhnd
full of the spiritual side, and when last

and invite n minister to come and help
us to be better men. women and chill
dren. the citizens of the town respond =
ed at once, and In three or four days.
$1,000 was raised for that purpose.
