"a Citizens Ticket
on Maui.

Are Refused--Maui Girls
Have a Polo Club.

MAUI, Aug. 29-Several weeks ago
Engineer Carl waldeyer of Wailullu,
accompanied by w. o. Aiken of Paia,
visited the summit of Haleakala.
After some investigation Mr.. Waldeyer
concluded that the plan of making a
cave-shelter at the top for tourists
was a most feasible one. He suggest
ed that the floor of the cave be dug
down two feet and that a room ten
feet by fourteen feet be tunneled out,
making a hole in the roof to allow the
smoke of fires to pass out. The roof
of the proposed apartment would, ne
thought, be fairly waterproof. Prob
| ably this project will not be pushed
through now until next summer.
NEW LANDING AT MAALAEA BAY.
A new landing has been recently es-
tablished on Maui at Keawakapu on
| the Maalaea Bay side of Maizena,.
| The Kula Planters and Merchants
Association of which Ammo is presi-
dent is the promoter of the scheme.
The association has recently signed a
five-year contract with Wilder Steam
ship Co. and the Kinau has lately been
landing and receiving freight at the
beach at KeaN akapu. The associa-
ton, it is reported, will Immediately
construct a proper wharf, which does
not need to extend far out owing to
the proximity of deep water. The Ke-
awakapu landing is three miles nearer
than Makena for the Kula corn and
potato ranchers.
HOME RULERS. WANT CITIZENS
TICKET.
Republican precinct clubs will hold
meetings today. all over the island, for
the purpose of electing county dele
gates.
There are now two complete Repub-
lican county states made up, which
though in many respects similar in
regard to candidates, still have enough
difference to cause somewhat of a con-
less a compromise is made, which is
probable.
Leading Home Rulers have an
preached Republicans for a citizen
ticket, but the latter prefer to stick
to party lines. Republicans say that
Home Rulers feel their weakness in
regard to proper men for candidates.

The latter were seven ahead until the |
fifth inning. From the fifth until the |
ninth the Stars had all the advantage. |
Johnny King pitched for the Wailukus |
for the first time. He may with prac-
tice develop a crack ball-tosser. The |
Wailukus have filed protest with the |

is decided in favor of the Stars, 1t |
means virtually awarding them the
