EVENTS OF THE WEEKS TOUR

On Saturday evening, the Wailuku
Decoration Committee waved it's mag
lc wand, and our beautiful little
town sprang iutoladded light and
loveliness, to welcome the approach
of Governor Carter and suite.
Gu leaving Lahaina on Friday
morning the Governors party pro-
ceeded to the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. r. G. Searle of Honolua, where
q big crowd, a bountiful luau and a
genuine Maui welcome awaited them,
Mr.. and Mrs. Searle had been ap-
pointed o committee of two to ar
range the details of the Governors
reception, and with the generous
assistance of the esidents of Homo
lua and Honokohau Districts, it is
needless to say that a reception
worthy of the occasion awaited the
arrival of the distinguished guests.
The day was spent iu speech making
and festivities, and early on Satur-
day morning the party started on
horseback via Kahakuoloa and Wal
bee for Walluku. After q critical
examination of the proposed road
around the north end of the Island,
and a cursory examination of the
lands. some 5000 acres, which will be
thrown open to settlers by the COM
petion of the road, the party made
their first halt at the little settle
ment in Kahiakuoloa Valley, where
they were met by the entire popu-
lace, with music, feastipg and
genuine alo has. Some time was
spent here nd Governor Carter ad-
dressed the people of the valley
pointing orlt what the government
would like to do IN the matter of de-
veloplng this section of Maui.
''Boots and saddles" too soon
sounded, and the party resumed
their route over the precipitous trail
to Waihee. where another crowd
g.nd luau awaited them. The after
noon was spent at Waihee and r. c.
Searle turned over the party to the
Wailuku Reception Committee, sound
in body, wind, limb, soul and con-
science.
Meantime elaborate preparations
had been made to receive the guests
during their brief stay in Wailuku.
High Street, from the Maui Hotel to
the Courthouse was a blaze of Chinese
lanterns, and the Cour 'thouse was
brilliantly illuminated and, gracefully
draped with the national and terri |
torial colors. Company l., N. G.
H., under command of Captain W. e.
Bal were mustered in full force, and
at $50 p. m. marched down Mi,rket ) |
Street to the bridge, where they a.
waited the arrival of our guests.

flags and bunting came winding down
the hill from Waihee. The first car
rage, containing Governor Carter
drove on the bridge, between the
open ranks of Company l., who
greeted his arrival with three cheer
and Jungle full OF tigers. 1t had
been intended that the entire pro-
cession OF carriages should pass de-
corously between the opened ranks
of Company T., but Governor Carter
interrupted the program by halting
his carriage, and descending as soon
as he had passed the Company. Re-
turning to the bridge, he in brief
but courteous and eloquent speech
returned his thanks for the military
display in his honor, adding the Maui
was the first to thus honor him. Then
led by Company l., the cortege pro-
ceeded to the Courthouse, where the
Company was again drawn up in line
to receive him. Here the regular
program would have been to enter
the Courthouse and indulge in hand
shaking, after Judge Kepolkai in
graceful speech had introduced the
Governor to the assembled crowd.
But the unmanageable Governor,
instead of meekly following the pro.
gram, turned away from the Court.
house at the end of Judge Kepoik kai's
remarks, and again approached Co..
l., bearing in his hand suspicious
looking bundle. 1t seemed at first as
if he intended to hurl a dynamite
bomb nto the seried ranks of the mil
itary, to test their courage, but in
stead he unwrapped his bundle and dis
played the shining folds OF an elegant
flag which he presented to Company
l., with a stirring speech in which he
urged the boys to always be ready to
either live or die for the honor of
"Old Glory" In an eloquent re-
sponse, Lieutenant S. Keliiuoi OF
Company 1. accepted the magnificent
gift, and pledged every man in his
company to sacredly protect and
stand by the colors.
AT the conclusion of this impressive
ceremony, the Governor and party
were escorted into the Courthouse
where warm, informed greetings
were extended to them to which
Governor Carter and Secretary At
kinson responded in brief speeches.
Although evidently much fatigued
with his journey, the inspiring sur
roundings reused Governor Carter to
one OF his happiest efforts. After a
pleasant allusion to his trip to Hawa-
ii and the cordial reception he met
there, he thanked the people of Maui
for a like generous reception. He
briefly explained the object of his Wis
it to be for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the actual needs of Maui, so
that the Government could act intel
ligently in awarding appropriate re-
lief. He then congratulated Wailuku
on the example here set, in two re-
spects. First, the local improve
ment association had demonstrated
the go-aheadativeness of Maui, and
second, the action Of the Maui men,
bers of the legislature in securing ap-
preparations, especially for a school
building was to be praised. He
touched on the past extravaganza Of
the government, where the abun-
iance of our income had made US
careless of the pennies, and promised
that in the future due economy so far
IS is consistent with public needs, shall

ments of which they reap the primer
pal share, but it is not fair to load
down our children in the future with
Indebtedness for which they receive
no benefit. With brief allusion to the
enforced reduction of teachers sal.
aries, and an explanation of the pres
ent status Of the fisheries question
the Governor lyielded the rostrum
to Secretary A. L. G. Atkinson who
humorously defined his position as to
kickers. "Look at Hilo," said he,
"the average Hiloite is natural
born kicker, and as result the roads
on Hawaii are tar better than any
that can be found on Maui" The
Secretary strongly advised a moder-
ate amount of kicking, adding that
the present tour is one for enliobt
enment, and asked that all who have
needs should make it point to dis
cuss them with the visiting officials.
The meeting then adjourned and
our visitors, some as the guests of
Judge Kepoikai and others as the
guests Of Mr.. G. B. Wells, dispersed
for much needed rest.
On Sunday morning the Governor
and party drove up to Kulamanu, the
country residence of J. P. Cooke in
kula, and spent the day and night
On Monday a trip was made to the
Polipoli springs and visit was paid

The wagons became imbedded in the
swampy road and mud just off the

of the truck were nearly up to the

pulled in vain. The team from the
second truck. which was in the road,
was hitched in front of the others,
but the fonr horses were unable to
bulge the heavy load. Coaxss, shouts
and lashings were Of no avail and one
of the front team fell to the sidewalk,
being raised with some difficulty. One

There are several rumors afloat to
the effect that the Traction Company
Is to DO dissolved and that number
Of Newark capitalists will take charge
of the road aud merge it with the
Public Service. If the Public Service
gets control of tho road to Red Bank
it will follow up with the absorption

It Is Said that After the Suitable Con-
plemenis are Paid to Prominent Dem
crats, the Real Candidate Will be

Will Make Strong Candidate.

Trnton, Aug. 0. The Mddesex
County leaders will undoubtedly present
the rame OF former Mayor James Van
Cleef Of Nsw Brunsw ick, when nomina-
tions are in order at the Democratic
State convention. Trenton and Mercer
county will present the name of May or
Frank S. Katzenbach, popular and
able lawyer of the capital city. Somer-
set will present tho name OF former Rep
resen ative Alvah A. Clark, Warren
county, Johnston Cornish, M mmouth,
her popular surrogate, Dave" Crater,
and SO on through list Of probably a
score Of local tavorites.
Camden will put forward Howard
Carrow, forceful lawyer aud an active
and Iever-tiring Democratic politician OF
that town.
But when This part OF the performance
is concluded, the real thing" will prob
ably be brought forward in the person OF
Charles o. Black, Of Jersey CITY. Mr.
Black has been f1xed upon Oy former
Senator Smith, Robert Davis, Represent
ative Allan l., MoDermott and few
others in their confidence, and will, IN
most likelihood. be Nominated NJ
Black will undoubtedly make the most
formidable candidate the Republicans
have faced in long time. Iio is an able,
level-headed, very clear-sighted and per-
fectly honest man. If equal taxation is
the main question in the election this
year his nomination will give his party an
advanced and strong position.
