MAUI. Nov. 19.-Last evening the an
nuaI bazaar of the Makawao Ladies
Aid Society took place on the large la
nal at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
H. p. Baldwin of Spreckelsville. Trains
conveyed residents from the various
Central Maui villages to and fro from
the scene of festivity.
The program of the evening was
neither musical nor rhetorical in ma
ture, it was simply to visit, admire and
patronize the different booths pretty in
design and beautiful in adornment.
The color scheme of the fancy work
booth presided over by Mrs. Lowell,
Misses Mosser and Cunningham was
green and white.
The ice cream booth in the large din
ing room in charge of Mrs. H. A. Bald
win, assisted by number of pretty
mattresses in cap and apron, was dec
GRATED in pink and white.
The japanese booth in care of Mrs.
d. c. Lindsay. assisted by the Misses
Smith in Oriental costume, was gay
in red and white.
The doll booth arranged by Mrs. S.
E. Taylor was conspicuous in its dec
orations of brilliant red.
The handkerchief booth, pretty in
red and white, was under the direction
of Mrs. D. B. Murdoch, assisted by
Miss Sheffield.
The lemonade booth, unique with its
yellow decoration, was in charge of
Mrs F. F. Baldwin.
The candy apartment attractive in
its garniture of pink and white, was
presided over by Mrs. w. A. Baldwin
and Miss Edith Alexander.
The two fsh-ponds decked in green
with paper fishes of various coIors and
fish nets as well as with coral, pebbles
and shells from the beach, We're popu
lar under the management of Mrs w.
F. McConkey and Mrs. E. B. Carley.
Last but not least by any means was
the gentlemen's booth presided over by
Mrs. Dora Won Tempsky and Miss Nc
Gowan. This attractive place was
termed by some the polo booth, for
it was adorned with the Maui colors
of orange and black, and number of
polo sticks and balls caused polo men
to feel at home; at any rate eight hand
some polo vests, some of red silk and
others of yellow, were disposed of.
The affair was most successful and
the articles not sold by the fair patron
esses We're auetioned off by j. B.
Thompson.
The large sum realized for sweet
charity was $61250.
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 il 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 Ieaf-blight and that
instead of masses of the well-known
foWery shrub, acre after acre of dry
and biackened branches are visible.
On Kahikinui ranch alone at least
1000 acres of Iantana have been killed,
thus saving an annual outlay of several
thousa nd dollars. All credit to the en-
tonlological department of the Terri.

FRED. BALDWIN INJURED.
Last Saturday Fred Baldwin, man
ager OF the Grove and Haiku ranches.

ing a wild bullock to Hamakuapoko
along the beach road from Paia. His
horse fell with him, crushing his foot
and breaking one of the ligamenta. 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. A
financial statement showing the whole
revennS OF each proposed county and
its probable expenditure under county
rule, including the pro rata amounts
paid for territorial government. and
on money obtained and the
loan bill, etc, would prove a good ar
gument in favor of such a law, provid
ed of course that the receipts were
shown to De IN excess of the expendi-
lures.
Another convincing argument would
be the assurance of the election of good
business men-meh who aye not mere
politicians bat who have conducted
their private business affairs in salts
factory manner to be supervisors and
TO ill other county offices.
