BARBED WIRE PROHIBITION.
The police are now enforcing anoth-
er law of 1898 which, like the wide
tire act" has been allowed to remain
in ''innocuous desuetude'' for a. num-
Der of years past. It is the enactment
forbidding barbed wire fences along
government roads.
Paia, Hamakua poke and other plan
tations, Haleakala ranch, the Enos and
Ferreira ranches, and other large and
small landowners have been busy re-
Gently removing barbed wire from their
fences adjoining public thoroughfares.
There is a dispute in regard to the
construction of the law, as to whether
or not the regulation applies to barbed
wire placed on fences prior to the
passage of the act. The police have
been simply notifying property
to remove the obnoxious barbed wire
without inquiry as to the length of
time such wire has been fastened to
the posts However, the law is an
excellent one and should be strictly
enforced
FLOUR MILL PROJECTED.
E. H. Bailey is soon to erect a flour
mill at Makawao. He has been cor
responding with firms at the coast to
furnish the necessary machinery. He
states he himself can put in 100 acres
of wheat and believes that some of the
neighboring farmers will also plant
wheat for the proposed mill.
EASTER SERVICE.
A large congregation completely fill
ing the auditorium attended the Easter
services at the Paia Foreign church
last Sunday. Masses of callas
from Olinda and potted palms adorn-
ed the pulpit platform. Rev. DR.. E.
G. Beckwith preached an interesting
Easter sermon and the musical pro-
gram consisting of a fine anthem by
the choir, baritone solo by H. w.
Baldwin and a song by Maunaolu
Seminary girls, was of unusual excel
lence.
