POSTMASTERS ON JOB.
iowarth and Futile Working al Bench
 on Christmas Mail

That the Christmas rush is on in earnest Is evidenced by the fact that from now on there will be no let-up in mail until after Christmas, as New HaNeners have already started mail ing their gifts to places outside of the city so that they will arrive on time.
 The Yale stgton officials suggest that their office is open for the ac- commodation of those who wish to send their Christmas packages through the malls, and that those who are in hurry can save a lot of time by stopping there on their way down town,
 With a cessation of the college through the vacatiot the rush at the Vale station has let up entirely, and the force is ready for the rush of Christmas business

CANAL ZONE GOVERNMENT.
House Committee Win Urge Change
 from Present Military System.

Washington. Dec. 22.-A stubborn fight 1t is predicted in Washington, will take place during the present ses- sion of congress, and possibly extend Ing into the entire session, owing to the reported intention of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce to recommend to the house new form of government for the lsthmian Canal Zone, The zone is now governed by officials more or less under the supervision of the War de- partment and the government is typIcally military one.
 It VIII be urged in opposition to this movement that the conditions which required a military government at the beginning of the construction of the canal still require one; and that there has been no controlling new clements.

Xihei Plantation Co.
Sued by Pia COckett,

A motion in re the suit of Patrick
Cockett and others versus the XII
hei Plantation Company was heard
Saturday before Judge A, N. Ke-
poikai.
E. M. Watson represented the
defendant company and G. w.
Ashford the plaintiffs,
The motion wus denied and the
defendants were given until June
9th to answer.
The motion by Attorney Watson
was for bill of particulars. 1t
was desired to know what title
each plaintiff had, how and when
acquired and what relationship
each person was to those whose
graves it is claimed have been
plowed up by the defendant.
The plaintiffs claim that the
plantation arbitrarily took posses
sion of their lands and plowed up
their grave yards and removed all
evidence of the location of them.
They claim damage to the extent
of ten thousand dollars.
The case will probably be heard
soon on its merits.

E. B. Wells
Returns
Made Extensive VII t to the
Orient.

Manager G. b. Wells and Mrs.
Wells returned Tuesday from an
extended trip to the Orient.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wells were accom-
panied by their daughter, Miss
Laura who went at once to Stanford
University to attend the commence
ment exercises there.
Mr.. Wells visited many places
where sugar is manufactured and
made study of what Others are
doing in this line.
He was not at all concerned over
the sugar industry Of Java as he
found they were running the plan
tations and mills by antiquated met
hods and are consequently far be-
hind the industry in the Hawaiian
Islands. He found the labor supply
80 great there that the managers
did not think in necessary to make
use of labor saving machinery and
consequently do not get all there is
in the cane.
He was greatly pleased with the
Philippines. He said.
THE Philippines struck me as a
great country if given proper legis-
lation and the right kind of care
from the Federal Government.
There is future for that place. l
had Intended to travel to the is
lands where sugar cane is grown.
In fact, Governor Smith said he
would put one, of the coast steamers
at my disposal, but about the time
for us to start something broke and
as the sailing was delayed several
days, could not make the trip.
Manila is a busy place. 1t looks
to me like pretty good place for a
young man to grow up with the
country. But the islands need free
trade with the mainland to make
them prosperous.
81 haven't any money left. u
paid it all to the custom house
for what few trinkets | brought
back with me. We had a splendid
time. Incidentally | am getting rid
of cold or the whooping cough or
something like it, that captured in
Japan. No, they didn't charge me
duty on that. Come to think of it, |
wonder why whooping cough should
be on the free list. 1t is the only
thing l brought that / would Ii ike to
have the custom house confiscate. F."
He was of course greatly pleased
that the grinding had been COM
pleted so early this year and that
the tonnage was so great. The
tonnage was over ten thousand two
hundred tons which is about two
thousand tons more than was ever
turned out before.
He says he has never known it to
fail to be dry spell when he was
away at anytime since he became
manager.
Mr.. Wells is looking well in spite
of the whooping cough.

without question. He said before
leaving that he was thoroughly
pleased with the building and the
manner in which the work had been
done. His statements express the
same sentiments that are held by
the residents of Wailuku.
The building is one to be proud
OF and is one that the people of
Maui have worked hard for for
