GENERAL NEWS OF MAUI
Wholesale and Retail Commission
Store IS Needed.
The following Is from the Maui News:

| The following Is from the Maui News:
| Wanted, a wholesale and retail com
mission store. with the immense i'm
port and export retail trade on Maui, IT.
Is certainly somewhat singular that some
enterprising man has not already seen
and seized the opportunity offered for
this line and business. There is a steady
and increasing demand for goods which
are not generally, and In some cases not
ut all, handled by Maui merchants, and
this Is the field to be occupied. Again.
no one has made an organized and intel
lgent effort to handle the exports of Ma
nj along the lines of garden and farm
produce. This field cannot In the nature
of things remain Idle much longer, and
while It will make money for the right
man, 1t will also stimulate the production
OF great deal OF home produce as soon
as market IL brought to the door OF the
small farmer.
AN OLD-FASHIONED LUAU.
Labor Day was celebrated at Wailuku
by an old-fashioned luau In lao valley,
with all the trimmings. Judge Kalua
acted as master of the gastronomic fea-
lures, Judge Kepoikai entertained dis
tinguished visitors, and Hon. John Rich
ardson of Lahaina acted as interpreter for
some over inquistive haoes during the
singing of the hula meles. Mrs. James
Campbell. who is visiting WailulSu as the
guest of Mr.. Thos. Clark, was the guest
of honor on the occasion.
LAHAINA NOTES.
, Lahalna. like walluku. is waking up
from her Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. \ num-
Der of new buildings, both residence and
business, are completed or nearly so.
Politics is beginning to bubble, and Mayor
Matt Mccain Is agitating the idea of
uniting all the parties with the view OF
selecting the best men for Office. Some
say that Matt thinks that the best men
are all Republicans. 1t is reported that
the Maunalel plantation will start up
again this week, and that work will I've
pushed right along. The Lahana rail-
way from the old cocoanut grove mauka
is making rapid progress Messrs. Howell
Il Wilson are rushing things lively. Mr.
Dowsett came up on the Claudine on his
way to Lanai. probably to take charge Of
selden win make his homo in Lahaina.
and after "A trip abroad which he con-
templates taking with his family, will
make many improvements on his delight
full beach-sde home in Lahana. Pioneer
Plantation continues to grow IN the d-
rection of Olowalu and viii eventually
extend to and include thai plantation.
Then We can hope for the long talked of
railroad from Waikiki TO Lahalna
