UNDERWRITERS AT wA1LuKu.
Looking Into the Means of Fire Pro-
lection There.

Mr.. A. r. Gurrey, secretary of the
Board of Underwriters of the Hawaiian
Islands, has been engaged for the past
v eek in making the first official survey
of Waikiki on behalf of the Board of
Underwriters. Heretofore in fixing the
rates of fire insurance on Maui each
company has been guided solely by
such conditions as presented themselves
i'm each individual case, and as a re-
suit no fixed rates on the same classes
of property have been the rule, but
arbitrary rates have been fixed.
The principal object of Mr.. Gurrey's
visit to the Island was to survey the
sugar mills for the purpose of discov-
ering If anything could be done in the
matter of lowering mill insurance, and
although he has so far examined only
the Hama, Kipahulu. Wailuku and Pho
neer Mills, he has been able to make
suggestions in the matter of making
these properties less risky which will
materially reduce the rate of insur-
ance. The removal Of dangerous cleo
trio wire, the bringing in OF a water
pipe. as well as many other minor
changes I'm any given piece of property
To be insured, will have much weight
in determining the rate of insurance to
be charged. and the examination Of
such property by Secretary Curry fire.
auently results in suggestions for less
ening the hazard and thus reducing the
rate.
For this reason Mr.. Curry has been
requested by many of the owners of
insured property on Maui to visit such
property and make recommendations
along these lines.

Looking Ahead.

The Honolulu papers are discussing the
question of whether or not the recent
Legislature was failure That il was
an abject and depiorabie ia lure Is too
patent for discussion, but as a matter
of fact. no one clique or party. not even
the Home Rulers. are wholly to blame
for this. Public feeling was In a ferment
when they were elected and the bitter
ness of personal feeling was rampant.
Much of this has passed Off in froth.
and the people generally have come to
their sober senses. Consequently the
next Legislature Is to be hoped for rather
than to be feared. and it is a safe pre-
diction that any party or clique who
again endeavors to gain by agitating fac
tiona feeling will find the mass of the
people arrayed solidly against 1t. We
have done politics In this Legislature.
but We will do business In the next one.

TALKING OVER
THE LABOR ISSUE
Sugar Plantation Managers on
the Big Island Have
Meeting.

The managers of the sugar planta-
tions on this Island will hold a meet
ing at Fremans Hall today to confer
with Mr.. Lake regarding bringing in "A
large number of Porto Rican laborers.
MI Lake has lived IN Porto Rico for a
rumbsr of years and is thoroughly ia
mi,iar with the island and the people.
I've will make a proposition to the man
ayers winch he believes will have ia
Vo-able consideration. Regarding the
Porto Ricans Colonel Lake says:
In my opinion a little better care
should have been used in the selection
of the people who We're sent here
though in many instances some got
aboard without our knowing it. AS a
race they have been pretty we'll starved
in their own land for generations, but
my experience has been that once the
men are fed up they become good work
men. On the pubic works in Ponce we
had thousands of them employed and
as a rule they gave satisfaction.
There is one thing, however, that
the employers of Porto Ricans should
bear in mind. The customs Of the peo-
pie there were, un Il the United States
assumed control, the opposite to the
customs In any we'll regulated commu-
nifty of white: their moral standard
was far below ebb and If the employ
ers here will remember that discipline
was not in their curriculum at home
and that they must be brought up TO
a realization Of 1t by degrees, the re-
suit will be more satisfactory. In other
words. until the Porto Ricoh gets ac-
customed to his surroundings he must
be treated like a child. The starving
out process has had the effect Of max
ing some Of them covetous and

MAUI ATHLETIC
CLUB MEETS
Does Not Need Much Money But
Wants Little Very
Badly.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Maui Athletic Association was held at
the court house last Monday evening
with fairly large attendance. Chair
man L. M. Baldwin presiding
The minutes of the regular meeting
Of June were approved. there having
been no July meeting owing to lack of
quorum. From the reports of the
secretary and treasurer it appeared
that there is large amount of I'M
paid dues and but little money in the
treasury, and decisive measures were
adopted to collect unpaid dues
The executive committee reported
that the baseball diamond at Wells
Park Is completed and that the grounds
are In fairly good condition for a
game of ball. although it will require
one or two heavy rains to settle and
pack the loose dirt in the outfield A
game may be played on August ~,
probably between the Waikiki and the
Spreckelsville teams. small admis-
sion fee will be charged, the entire
management of the affair having been
left In the hands of the executive com
mittee.
George Cummings was elected cap
tain of the Wailuku nine, and DIR. w.
r. Boote manager. A temporary grand
stand Is to be provided for visitors The
road roller will soon be brought up to
the grounds and used to put the finish
on the diamond.
Members who know themselves to be
in arrears should not wait to be
seen" but should at once look up

DRY DAYS
On MAUI
The DrOuth Doing
Considerable
Harm.
Especial Correspondence

MAUI. August lO.-The drought seems
to be getting worse instead OF better.
The atmosphere is getting hotter and
dryer. The thermometer Is constantly
in the SOS For the last three or four
days the trade winds have ceased
blowing thus making the heat OF the
summer sun more intolerable Kama
ainas state that never within the his
tory of the East Maui bitches has the
region in the vicinity of their head
waters been so dry. The plantations
dependent upon the Hamakua and the
two Spreckels bitches are suffering
keenly. One of the Spreckelsville
bitches is dry; in the other and the
Hamakua ditch, the waterway that
supplies the Paia and Handicapped
plantations, there are but few inches
of water. The water in the lao valley
is also very low, but the Waihee ditch
has a better supply.
GENERAL NOTES.
1t is rumored that Hamoa plantation
in Hama district is soon to close up. If
this Is true, the prevailing high prices
for labor and the long-continued
drought are the probable causes of dis
continuance.

a line OF steamships between Java and
the west coast of the United States
where San Francisco will be the port OF
entry. The line will be under the con
troll OF the Royal Packet Company of Ba-
tavia, whose representatives have been
negotiating with the Batavian Govern

OF course, it makes no particular diff
ference to the insurance companie
whether the property insured is slightly
OF highly hazardous for the reason that
they establish the rate of insurance ac-
cording to the risk involved. The prop
erty owners are the ones to be benefited
by lessening the hazard of an instirable
piece Of property.
AS to Wailuku, Mr.. Gurrey states that
If MIGRANTS We're placed in the water
mains and hose cart and 500 feet of
hose were provided, the rate of insur-
, ance on Wailuku property would be
materially lowered, and he expressed
surprise that the citizens of Waikiki
who insure have not taken steps to
prod the Government into making such
provisions.
Mr.. Gurrey was called to Honolulu
on account of the recent fire but will
as soon as possible return to Maui and
resume the inspection of insurable
property. The result of his work will
doubtless prove beneficial to those hav-
ing property to insure.

HILO'S SAGE OF THE COFFEE
SHOP ON CURRENT AFFAIRS

There's a good many people yapping
about the income tax without knowing
whether the thing Is going through or
not" said the Early Riser.
II suppose you are digging at me-" said
the Kicker ~ object TO 1t on general
principles. why should we have to tell
the government that our income is so
much and our expenses overrun our in
come? Ii seems to me like giving out a
lot of information that is of a strictly
private nature. You can't tell who Is go
ing to get hold of 1t and IL appears to
me as though a fellow was injuring his
| credit. UP here in the assessors office
noticed that when a man turned In his
report and someone was standing near
that the assessor covered II up 80 the
other fellow couldn't see It, But in other
offices they may not be 80 particular,
and the result will be that this private
wireless information will be like the dust
in Honolulu-all over town"
The trouble is that men who have
been posing as incomers will be shown
UP as being on the other SIDE" said the
Cheerful Liar. THE fellow whose return
shows that he must pay a dollar and a
quarter income tax after all exemptions
Is the one who can wear his hat on the
side of his head and smoke cigars"
