Recently Kahikinui Ranch has made a
proposition to the Government concern
ing the surplus water of Polipoli spring
in the mountains of Kula. This spring
is situated high up on the slopes of Ka-
maole and Ulupalakua, and always has
an abundant flow of water. During the
dry season cattle for miles around seek
the mountains and quench their thirst
at this fountain. This water has been
the subject of numerous but vain petit
lions to past Legislatures to appropriate
money for the conveyance of the water
in pipes to the Kula Government road.
The proposition mentioned is a fair
one. the ranch to pay the expenses of
cleaning and developing the spring, and
of building a large cement basin for it,
and in return to have the use of the
overflow of the fountain if any there be.
The cattle owners of Kula will surely
be benefited and the proprietors of Ka-
hikinui will have by the use of pipes
water for their stock in a more Access
sibIe place than at present.
Last Saturday evening most enjoy
able dancing party was given at the res
fdence of w. c. Crook of Makawao in

of seven Hawaiians came twenty
miles all the way from Ulupalakua, to
assist in celebrating the occasion. They
did so in a most pleasing manner, for
their music and singing of Hawaiian airs
were much complimented.
The long walk in front of Mr.. Crooks
residence was lighted by torches placed
on either side. The effect was weird.
Friends from Spreckelsville and Paia
were present to wish Mr.. Laurie Crook
many happy returns of the day.
