sight. But from these mistakes
experience will be born, and the
Maui of the future will TEEN with
profitable industries which will
need and attract a large number OF
the most desirable element of citi-
zens, and the result will also be, by
natural process of selection, to
eliminate the undesirable and
weaker classes. Americanism has
come to Maui to stay, and with it
will come or be developed in its
limits all that is highest and no.
blest and best inAmerican civiliza-
tion. With this material growth
will come its twin goods of schools
and churches, with their civilizing
and elevating influences.
The Maui of the future is beyond
the dreams of the pessmists of to-
day who see no good save what has
already materialized before their
eyes, and could not see that until
it was evolved out of possibilities
by live men who held their faith in
the then future Of Maui as their
guiding star and wrought with all
their strength the successful future
Of today. Like hard work and like
faith will ever give us newer and
better futures as we work and win
them.
Turning from the material side,
Maui presents to the lover of ma
ture a series of beautiful scenes
from every point where her green
skirts trail in the surrounding blue
waves of the Pacific to her loftiest
heights, crowned with fleeting cloud
wells and white, powdery snowfalls.
Cascades leaping and singing
through forests of ferns, cocoanut
groves stretching lazily along the
sea coasts, mountain views as
beautiful and striking as can be
found in the Alps, and valleys
dressed in the pale, billowy green
of endless cane felds-all weave an
endless chain of beauty which
never tires, and this in a climate
which is almost as nearly perfect
as that of the Eden of our day
dreams. On the northern slopes of
Haleakala are hundreds of ideal
spots for summer residences, from
whence the view and around which
the air and climate are wonderful
and exquisite. A number of such
homes are already built, and the
time will yet come when wealthy
people from the frozen winter re-
gions of the mainland will keep
regular summer homes on the bold
=
breast of Haleakala.
Wailuku is at present the hub of
Maui, and its beautiful site, rare
advantages and live citizens, back
ed by local Improvement Associa-
ton, bid fair to long hold for it the
proud distinction it now claims.
1t boasts bank, newspaper, good
hotels, the location of the court
house and jail, good churches and
the finest school building on the is
land, the finest climate on earth,
and prospective if not proscrip-
tive right to be the county seat.
But it has two dangerous rivals,
one in beautiful Lahaina, once
the capital of the whole of the Is
lands, which lies gracefully beneath
cocoanut trees along a dreamily
beautiful beach of white coral sands
and looks with warm, glowing eyes
for the coming of the county seat;
the other rival is Kahului which is
in every respect the anti-type of La
haina. Busting with the import
ance of a really immense import
trade in imported goods and sup
plies and an export trade of all the
sugar grown on central Maui, it
don't have time to look very pretty,
