BURY THEIR POTATOES
FOR BETTER PRICES

MAUI, July 2s.-Kula has raised an
unusually large crop of potatoes this
season. The prices asked on tie field
vary from 20 to so cents hundred
weight. In truth the drop in prices has
been so great that some of the plan
tiers have buried their crop to await
a rise.
To bury potatoes in the ground is
against all rules of agricultural
science, but the atmosphere of Kula is
so dry that this can be done with
safety there. The mode OF procedure
is as follows: A large hole is ex-
cavated and the bottom lined with
dried leaves and grass. Then the pota-
toe sare' placed inside and the top
overspread with leaves which in turn is
covered with earth. In this way the
potatoes are kept long time without
sprouting.
The Kula farmers OF the upper lands
have raised a good corn crop this
year, but the corn of the lower lands
has been dried and withered by the
long-continued drought.

The japan Times states that a Rus
sian language school has been estab-
lished at the prisoners quarters at
Himeji. The instructors are the Jap
anese officials of the quarters, and
their students are the Russian SOL
diers, mostly from Port Arthur, OF
whom nine-tenths are illiterate. At
first the school was attended by only
some 60 Russians. but this number has
now Increased to 1000. Thanks to the
teaching. those soldiers who were to-
tally illiterate are now able to write
letters to their homes. 1t Is stated
that the authorities of the quarters
are receiving enquiries from Russia

an increase in the county income of
$20,000 Then the income tax from
several corporations should also bring
in quite an increase of revenue over
last year. Financial matters ought to
be improving all over the Territory.
PLANTING LOTS OF TREES.
Tree-planting is becoming quite a
fad among some of the island corpor-
atoms. The Maui Agricultural Co., H.
c. & S. Co.. Haleakala Ranch Co. and
others spend a large amount annually
in setting out trees.
VIM. Hannestad. who has charge Of
the tree-planting at Kailiili (Maka-
wao) for the Maui Agricultural Co.,
put out $4,000 trees this last year.
Among them were 10000 Monterey
cyprus and of course many blue gum
(eucalyptus) trees which grow so fast
at Kailiili that they can not resist the
wind and have to be held up with
the use OF sticks. 1t is the wish of the
company to plant out 100000 trees per
annum for number OF years at Ka-
Hill.
The Haleakala Ranch Co. has plant
ed out thousands OF blue gums on the
slopes of Haleakala, Puunene and 9TH
err plantations have planted trees on
either side OF their roads.

covering the extension, appointing A.
E. Murphy, at sl25. and Mr.. Schmidt, at
SIS, for the month of August. He
thought the work could be done in two
months. The resolution called for an
appropriation of 5000 for August.
Lucas thought the entire work for the.
portion of the city, not completed be-
fore, could be finished in two months.
1t was a good work.
Moore said he had had a CONVERSE
ton with Mr.. Murphy and the latter
had told him the entire work could be

should bind the men to complete the

PAELE WANTS MONEY.

Adams said the territory was willing
to lend the county all the books relat-
ing to house numbering.
Paele moved to lay the matter on the
table, as there might be a chance TO
raise some revenue out of it.
The house numbering resolution
then passed unanimously.
Several matters concerning the va
rious road boards were passed over to
Tuesday. 1t was. developed that the
road board of Eva had been continu-
ing work during the month of July,
and had authorized the expenditure Of
money, without authority from the
supervisors. Adams said this was be-
ing done without authority and he
moved that the road boards be discon-
tinued.
The chair read the law which stated,
that the road taxes could be expended
by the road boards. That was clear
However, Adams moved that the Eva
road board be not reappointed. Lucas
said that the road boards had been told
to continue in office by the supervisors
and the boards probably construed
this to mean that they continue work
ON the roads as usual.
The chair directed the clerk to noti-
fy Mr. Lowe to be present, with his
vouchers on Tuesday to explain why
he continued work on the road in view
of the resolution passed by the Super
visors on July IA. All road boards will
be given similar notification to explain
any expenditures they may have made
during this month.
Adams spoke of the warrant coming
to the county from the territory. The
treasurer had arranged to dispose of
the July warrant. Adams said he
thought he could dispose of the next

The tragedy occurred probably just be-

pany.
Almost Immediately he became ac-
quainted with Constance Mirandi, a light
colored and quite attractive young wom-
an from his own country.
II is notorious that some OF these peo-
pie give little heed TO the propriety OF
seeking the services OF the clergy and
that as consequence there is much H.
centiousness. and the percentage OF lille
gitmacy is high.
Having entered into an arrangement
common to their people Roderick and

lived there as man and wife for one year.

two years resided at 15 Wells street, at
