WAILUKU. Nov. s.-Since last
Wednesday evening rain has fallen al
most continuously on Maui. and the
/ dOwnpour at times has been quite
/ heavy. There were several showers
during the early part OF the week but
/ they did not amount to much. On
Wednesday night TX inches OF rain
fell in Wailuku, according to Brother
Franks water gauge Rain fell in tor
rents yesterday. and as a conse-
quence. the streams in Waikiki have
been running high. Last night. II
rained considerable again. and the
streets OF Waikiki district are quite
muddy as a result Of the continuous
downpOur. Rain has fallen also in
the higher regions on Haleakala 10
the delight OF the farmers in the Ku-
Ia district. Il is reckoned that about
: three inches Of rain fell during yes
( terday and last night. and IL looks like
more rain today The Wailuku stream
has been running quite high. This is
particularly beneficial TO the taro
planters on the Waihee side of the
river. It is reported that this rain
fall has extended over the greater
part of Maui. and il is Just what was
desired by the sugar planters after a
long drought. Rice planters in Wal
lBku are also rejoicing over this heavy
rainfall. as il gives them water in
abundance, with which to flood their
patches.
The Spreekelsville ditch leading
from the Waihee valley to Spreckels-
vile ran as high as II would hold and
plantation reservoirs are filling rapid
~ OF course. the plantation man
ayers desire a little more of this rain
in order to account for the continued
drought which has prevailed on cen
trail Maui. For the past few weeks
small showers have frequently fallen
but not until Wednesday night did il
fall in any quantity worth mentioning
For the past two DAYS six inches Of
rain fell in Makawao and two inches
in Kula. according to Mrs. R. Vor
Tempsky.
