taken place on THE plains within the
! last few years What was formerly
a vast area Of red dirt barren OF vege-
tation is now under fence intersected
with bitches and covered TO a great
extent with fields of sturdy-looking
cane, and all the available land on the
commons stretching from kahului and
Spreckelsvile TO Maalaea and Kihei
and up the slope Of Haleakala TO kula
/ has been pre-erupted for cultivation
by the three plantations of kihei, Pun

Year by year additional water from
the mountains OF East Maui IS being
led on so that within a few years the
former desert plains viii be entirely
obliterated, transformed into the best
plantation lands on the island

to pass by over the mauka instead OF
the makai road which leads through
their village.
While at Makena on Thursday, J. L.
Coke and all the Home Rule candi-
dates, excepting John Richardson we're
holding meeting at Ulupalakua, three
miles away. However, the Republic
cans had the better of it for it was
cattle-shipping day and many of the
