1t was In this church, years ago, that
the elder Baldwin sowed the seeds OF
Christianity among the natives of West
Maui. and on Sunday mornings at the
present time one can see the natives
meandering their way along the differ
ent streets towards Wainee, there to
worship as In days OF old. Then there
is the quaint old graveyard on its left.
where one can read the names OF Ha-
walls chiefs and ladies. whose spirits
have gone to the far beyond. And Just
back OF the church stands the remains
of what was once the royal tomb, where
nearly all members OF notable royalty
who died on Maui were buried.

PROTECTION FOR
FRUIT GROWERS

j. r. Van Valkenburg. living on the
Peninsula, has fine grove of citrus
trees which are afflicted with the oyster
shell scale. He has remedy which will
cure the disease. but he has no protec-
ton against infected trees in the neigh
borhood, which are allowed to go from
bad to worse. No sooner does he clear
his own orchard of the scale than the
parasites in the other orchards migrate
to his trees and continue their attack.
Mr. Van Valkenberg Is getting tired of
the process. and thinks the Territory
ought to protect him from controllable
pests

Lahaina. February .. 1908


Editor Advertiser. What has caused
all this fear and alarm about the county
seat being changed in the original bill
from Waikiki tn Lahaina? Has the
editor of the Maui News been having
suspicious dreams of late or has
somebody been whispering his fear OF
such change in his ears? Lahaina has
not laid any claims to the county seat
up to this date. The several issues OF
the Maui News for the past few weeks
go to show that the Maui News man,
knowing that an intelligent legislature
is going TO handle the matter. is trying
to pull the wool over their eyes by his
sarcasm about Lahaina. In one of the
issues of the Maui News, about a month
ago he said that III the circuit court of
Maui was gotten up for eleemosynary
purposes. Lahaina would have "A palpa-
BILE show"
The writer OF this article has lived
in Lahaina foi the past twelve years,
and during that time has never seen a
pauper, or any one depending upon aid
or charity OF any kind. within her
bounds. The editor OF the News is,
comparatively speaking, "malihini" on
Maui and has never been in touch with
the possibilities and advantages of the
ancient capital. She has her coast line
of about ten miles, extending from
Kaanapali to Olowalu. nearly all of It
being government land. and naturally
protected by the islands of Lanai and
Kahoolawe.
1t is along this coast that nearly all
the gun practice of the war vessels has
taken place and, geographically speak
ing, let any one look at the map of the
Islands and see If Lahaina is not the
central part of Maui county, which en-
braces Maui Lanai, Molokai and Ka-
hoolawe.
And most of all, Lahaina is a sea port,
and passengers coming from Honolulu
and Hawaii 40 not have to be carted
in hacks for half the night over doubt
full roads
But If the Maui News man should
really succeed in getting his eight or ten
millions to cut a six mile canal from
Maalaea Bay to Waikiki, or give every
passenger arriving at Maalaea a guaran-
tee that he would not be carried to sea I'm
an open boat, then Waikiki would be
entitled to a fighting chance. Lahaina
has a government building and grounds
which have no equal outside of Homo
iuiu. the building Is fire proof through
out. At the present time the district
judge, the sheriff, the tax collector, the
postmaster, the superintendent of the
waterworks, and the collector OF the
port all have their offices in the building
and. think, with a small addition It
| could be made to accommodate the en-
tire set of county officers. And the Jail,
though not used much at present, is
amply sufficient for county purposes.

Jim Hardin Of Humphreys County KILLED
Man Named Pruett.

Jim Hardin, who is wanted in

Sheriff G. w. Fentress and ex-
Sheriff J. NJ. Bell Of Waverly came
over to Camden Friday evening
and they secured the services of
Sheriff r. d. McCord, who Joined
them in the search for Hardin.
They found the prisoner at Aliens,
and had no trouble in making the
arrest. The officers we're delayed
awhile after leaving town by the
hack breaking down, but the delay
was fortunate in one respect, for it
saved them long trip to the south
end of the county.
1t was swift work, from start
to finish. The grand jury at Wa
verify found the indictment against
Hardin Friday afternoon. The
papers we're Immediately placed
in the hands Of Sheriff Fentress.
BY the aid of Sheriff McCord, who
obtained clue of the whereabouts
of Hardin after the officers left
town, the prisoner was arrested at
1870 p. M, and at 2.55 a. m. the
Humphreys County officers left
with their prisoner for Waverly.

The rain continuously fell in
torrents from early morning un-
til late at night, and the voting was
light all over the county.
Inmany districts only a few who
resided near the polling places had
the nerve to take the rain. The
tenth and eleventh districts show
the largest per cent of vote polled.
W. A. Lashlee withdrew from
the race for trustee at the speak
ing at Eggville Friday afternoon,
the day before the primary. This
narrowed the contest down TO two
candidates, i. E. Fry and A. r.
