The address of welcome was deliver
ed by Miss Edith Naone, who won the
hearts of all including that of the Gov
ernor.
The Governor addressed the school
and spoke in the highest terms of the
work being done and the neat appear
ance of the grounds and the children.
He said the school building was one
of the finest in the Territory but he
recognized the fact that the grounds
should be larger and promised his sup
port in the effort to have the grounds
enlarged. He spoke of the need of
training the hands as well as the minds

Coke. D. H. Case, Hugh, Howell, w. E.
Saffery and j. n. Keola went up lao
Valley to the head of the water sys-
tenn that was originally laid by Tay-
lor. The reason for the trip was to
call the attention of the officials to
the fact that the intake of the water
supply for the town and Kahului was
below the residences of the valley and
of insufficient volume to meet the re-
quirements of the people and bring for
chilly to their attention the ease with
which the broken pipe line mauka
could be repaired.
The Superintendent of Public Works
was favorably impressed with the
scheme and requested County Engineer
Howell to make the necessary survey
of the cost of repairing the broken line.
In the evening crowds of people
began pouring in from Wailuku, Ka

and surrounding districts, and by the
time the Governor arrived there We're
over a thousand people at the Armory
to meet the chief executive and hear
what he had to say to the residents Of
the island.
The entrance to the Armory, the |
grounds and the hall were tastefully |
decorated with ferns, palms and pro-
fusion of bunting, and set off with |
Japanese lanterns.
THE GOVERNORS SPEECH.
On being introduced to the audience
Governor Frear said the object of his
visit to the island was to become bet

learn their wants and wishes from
first hand. He and his party had been
so royalty entertained and so cordially
received by all of the people in every
locality that he must admit that the

Of cane lands, the finest mill, the best
irrigation system in the world, and

while the rubber industry
gives forth every promise of being
close rival of the sugar industry in
the course of a few years.
He had visited the Kula farmers,
where great stretches of corn and po-

had found the people progressive and
