MAUI, Aug. 1.-There's scheme
afoot originated by w. o. Aiken of
Paia of tunnelling out a cave on the
summit of Haleakala to act as shell
ter for tourists who wish 10 spend a
night at the top for the purpose If
viewing the crater at sunrise.
"Cragielea," the little stone summit
house, Is roofiess and in ruins, and
Flea" cave is Objectionable because
walking three-fourths of a mile up a
sandy slope at an altitude of 10000 feet
is most difficult and Maui ponies, which
have spent the night amid rocks and
sand without food shivering with cold
in a temperature of twenty or thirty
degrees above zero, are apt to treat
the "tenderfoot" visitor rather discour-
teously, often exhibiting tendency to
buck. or balk or rush down the noun
tain instead of up.
Two weeks or more ago a party OF
twelve persons spent a most uncomfort-
able night at the top. "Cragielea" be-
ing out of the question, they took ref
uge in a shelter near by which had
been erected for the use of horses. A
heavy and continuous rain set in and
the iron roof leaked so badly that each
a sitting position soaked to the skin.
However every one said they mad
good time for there was much laugh
ing and joking, singing and story-teli-
ing.
In this party were two prominent
Chicago people who, in telling OF their
trip, after describing the grandeur ana
beauty of the crater scenery, will prob
ably mention some Of the discomforts
of the occasion.
In these progressive times when SO
much is said of attracting tourists 10
Hawaii it seems as though some shell
ter better than p cave (Which OF course
is most acceptable on stormy n1ghu
should be constructed either at county
or Territorial expense for the use OF
travellers who are DESTROYS of seeing
the greatest extinct volcano in the
world.
GOOD BASEBALL.

then the other. TT was any one
game" till the final innings which de-
c;ded the struggle in favor of WalluKu
six runs to five. For the Wailukus
T.. r. Crook played at first base IN
Mace of w. H. Cornwell, Jr., VINO was

satisfactorily. Who says that western
civilization is difficult for the Oriental!
