mai at the residence OF MIR. and Mrs
II. 4. Baldwin OF Spreckesvillc. Trains
conveyed residents from the various
Central Maui villages 20 and fro from

DOOM OF LANTANA.
1t has often been declared of late that
lantana is doomed to extinction on the
Islands and such statement seems to
be true If we accept the report on good
authority that at least 10000 acres of
it on the Kaupo side of Maui have been
destroyed by the leaf-blight and that
instead of masses of the well-known
flowery shrub, acre after acre of dry
and blackened branches are visible.
on Kahikinui ranch alone at least
1000 acres of lantana have been killed,
thus saving an annual outlay of several
thousand dollars. All credit to the ems
tomological department of the Terri
tory.
FRED. BALDWIN INJURED.
Last Saturday Fred Baldwin, man.
ager of the Grove and Haiku ranches,
met with painful mishap while driv-
ing wild bullock to Hamakuapoko
along the beach road from Paia. His
horse fell with him, crushing his foot
and breaking one of the lgaments. He
will be confined to the house for several
weeks.
A Porto Rican vaquero accompany
ing Mr.. Baldwin had his horse gored
TO death by the bullock.
COUNTY GOVERNMENT IFS.
On the 18th, the last day allowed by
law for the payment of taxes, the Ma
kawao tax Office had on hand at one
time $4,000 In checks and coin.
The receipt of so much tax-money re-
calls the County law proposition. 4
statement showing the whole
revenue of each proposed county and
It's probable expenditure under county
rule, including the pro rata amounts
paid for territorial government, and
Interest on money obtained and the
loan bill, etc, would prove Il good ar
sument in favor of such law, provid.
ed Of course that the receipts were
shown to be IN excess of the expend-
lures.
Another convincing argument would
be the assurance of the election of good
politicians but who have conducted
their private business affairs In a salts
factory manner 10 be supervisors ana
10 MI other county offices.
