WA1LUkU, Maui, Jan. I2.-Ine
News says: There is now in Lahaina
an excellent opportunity for the estab-
lishment of business at a cost of not
exceeding $4,000 to $4,000, which will
make the fortune of live man or
company. This is the establishment of
a cold storage plant in connection with
a fishery, an ice plant and the manu-
facture of mineral waters. Electric
lights, ice and aerated waters would
each swell the total receipts of the
company, but would pale before the
traffic In fresh Molokai mullet and
other edible fish which could be ship
ped to Honolulu, Hflo and Wailuku.

wait for outside capital, but should
themselves take hold of the matter and
develop it at once. Wake up, Lahaina!

men must live, and they are developing

acted by the approaching Legislature
and strictly enforced by the police,
would be a good remedy
