be established there by Hon. H. P
Baldwin with D. c. Lindsay, assistant
manager of the Maui Agricultural Co,
in charge. Rumor has it that the new
masonic building, two stories in
height, is to be constructed near the
center of the town, and that the pro-
posed banking esta Enlistment is to G,,-
cupy the lower story of it,
That Kahului within few years will
eclipse Wailuku and Lahaina in i'm
portance seems now an assured fact.
Besides being the chief seaport and
port of entry, it is also the railroad
center of the island and boasts of the
largest wholesale and retail general
store, not to mention the only U. S.
custom house.
A large part of the town has re-
house lots. The H. c. & S. Co. pro-
pose to dredge the harbor to the
depth of 80 feet and build a long
covered wharf. Now comes the report
of the masonic building and bank, as
well as vague rumors of the construc-
ton of several fine private residences.
Kahului, backed by the resources of
Puunene whose annual sugar-yield is
the largest of any plantation in the
Territory, should expand and prosper
greatly in the near future.
SENDOFF TO LINDSAY.
On Wednesday, D. c. Lindsay of Pa
ia, left Maui for the mainland via Ho-
nolulu to look into the subject of bank
ing. On Tuesday evening thirty-five
of his friends and neighbors gave him
a surprise party as a farewell compli
ment. The early part of the evening
was devoted to music and games were
INDUCED in during the later hours after
the service of refreshments. The mus
ical program consisted of vocal solos
by Mrs w. S. Nicoll, Rev. B. V. Ba-
zata and H. w. Baldwin; piano duet
by Misses Sheffield and Agnes Flem-
ing; a vocal duet by Mrs. Nicoll and
Miss Steele, and selections on the pia-
nola. A most pleasurable evening was
spent.
MAUI REVENUES.
That Maui county is financially sound
is indicated by the fact that on Friday,
one of the four deputy tax assessors
of the island, forwarded to the tax as
SCISSOR in chief $54 900 in one Enclosure,
making a total of $68000 from Maka-
wac district for the year.
The territorial treasurer has been
sending Maui a warrant for 81 900
to $500, and the economical super
visors have saved quite a sum from
these monthly allowances. Hence it
is evident that, as the taxes from Wal
luku district exceed IN amount those
collected in Makawao, the combined
tax revenue from Waikiki and Maka-
wac, after allowing so per cent to the
Territory will still be more than
enough to pay all county expenses.
The taxes from Lahaina, Hama and
Molokai districts can be reserved as
an Improvement fund.
SUCCESSFUL BAZAAR
The bazaar of the Wafluku Ladies'
Guild held in the K. of P. hall last
Saturday night was a great success.

pie and about $500 was realized from
the different tables and the admission

sented by the Puunene Athletic Club
during the evening.
