STORM DAMAGE
AROUND WAILUKU

Elsewhere the Advertiser correspond
ent gives an account of the great storm
on Maui. Following is what the Maui
News tells of the work of the storm
around Wailuku:
A kona of unusual severity swept
over Maui Thursday night, blowing
down tSees, carrying away shutters
laying fumes and fences low and
otherwise playing the very mischief
throughout the whole island.
So high was the wind that the in
mates of the Jail had to be removed to
the court house for safety, as 1t was
feared the building would fall.
On Friday morning the building was
observed to be twisted and out of
plumb
The wall around the Jail was laid
TO the ground and the yard full of
limbs blown off the trees.
The awnings of the Maui Hotel were
every one riddled and some of the win
dow panes blown out.
Shutters from the New Cash Store
were blown across the street and the
new sign blown down and ruined.
Large trees were blown down across
the street, blocking the way, but were
soon removed
About one thousand five hundred feet
of cane fiume was blown down for the
Wailuku Sugar Co. on the Waikiki di-
vision, principally that high flume
which extends from the Waihee road
to the water tanks of the mill and
again from the Waihee road up the lao
Valley.
The higher fence around the Catholic
Sisters school was blown down and
lies in the edge of the road.
About the only thing hot damaged |
by the wind was Dan Carey's anvil, |
which was still in its place and on |
iuty the next day.
AT Kahului part of the lumber shed
was blown down and some of the roof |
IF the custom house carried away
The telephone lines are down every |
where, but the force is sure to have |
he system in good working order soon
In the time of storm is when the
Boys show their worth.

Some of the press of the State
seems very solicitous about the
future of John Sharp Williams,
what will be his battle cry in the
coming contest for senator, etc.,
and while the Clarion Ledger is
not in a position to speak au-
thoritatlyely on the subject, it
feels safe in making the predic'
tion that Mr.. Williams is not as
much concerned about the future
as his friend, the enemy. Mr.. Will.
liams has, for one thlng,a political
record to go before the people
with, a record of achievement,
far removed from villification and
vituperation and one that will ap
peal to all thinking men-a repu-
tation for 'sdoing things" without
effort to destroy others and a per-
sonality that has served him well
in the past-but not so well as he
has served his'people and party
one of which any man, public or
private citizen could well feel
proud.
AS to Mr.. williams battle cry,
as some of the solicitous ones
term it, he will shape that to meet
conditions, but whatever it Is, his
friends are confident it will be
both timely and effective, and
while they are satisfied with the
conditions there is no need foI
his opponents to become exer-
cised over the matter.-Clarion'
