has Small Cane Fire.

At the noon hour Tuesday a
small fire made things lively in the
upper Waikapu canefields belong
ing to the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany. The fire started in some trash
where japanese workmen were re-
moving cane fumes, possibly from
a workingman's cigarette. The
field luna saw the blaze and set to
work with a half dozen men to
put it out. Twice they had the
fire under control, but the change
Able winds blew the sparks about
and started new fires elsewhere
until finally it got into the ad-
joining field of ripe cane, when a
call was sent out for help. In
a very short time a large force of
men arrived and the fire was soon
under control.
About ten or twelve acres of cane
were burned but as the cane was cut
right after the fire, there would be
no loss from it. Deputy Sheriff
Glenn Crowell and Jos. f. Welch,
Chief of Wailuku's Fire Depart
ment hurried over in an auto,
were among the first to arrive on
the scene and did good work in
checking further spread of the fire.

Political Pot
Not Boiling
Maui Politically Quiet New
Party Possible.

On the Island of Maui politics
are in somnolent state. 1t may
be likened to the approach of
Halley's comet. Every one has
heard about it, but ordinary folks
may scan the heavens in vain and
see nothing not even the smudge
or other sign Of the approaching
wonder. But it is coming, neverth-
less.
Last Tuesday the republican
executive committee had what
might be aptly called full meet
ing. Although only a very short
notice was given yet every member
or proxy holder turned up bright
and early. The meeting aroused
public interest and drew it away
from the approaching Konohi fes-
tivities, but the committee did
nothing, although some talked
wisely on the situation, some de-
plored the government by COM
mission talk, some took fall out
of the prohibition movement, and
others again only took notes, made
few guarded expressions of
opinions, intimated a desire for
more exact information of the
views of the people, and adjourned
to later date, when something
definite will probably be doing.
The Committeeman exercised
some ingenuity getting around the
man on the street, who wanted a
confidential chat and incidentally
get peep in at what the meeting
did or meant to do. Once that
point was safely evaded the street
talk went on merrily as to candi-
dates and the woods seem full of
'em and tickets intending to take
the field for the November events.
The Democratic Committee met
the other day and are said to be
bestirring themselves to put up a
straight ticket from delegate to
county officers, and of course the
home rulers are expected to quit
trying to run ticket of their own
and vote the democratic ticket
straight. which is all very well but
for the fact home rulers think one
of their political duties is to vote
for Charlie Notify for delegate and
Billy White, Senate from Maui.
To corral the seven hundred or
so home rule votes the Maui
democrats may decide to leave the
partys delegate candidate out in
the cold, as was done the last cam
paign, and concentrate the party,
strength on the legislative and
county tickets, but then the home
rulers might want to put up
straight ticket of their own, just to
be IN at the polls.
Then again should certain con-
tingencies happen full fledged
independent ticketfis expected to
take the field, in which event Maui
voter will be plentifully supplied
with candidates, to vote for,-but
the votes that is another story.

INDECENT sick at private Hospitals,
by subsidies or otherwise.
II "A Hospital is continued for the
benefit of pay patients as well as
indigents, should not contagious and
cases be cared for also?
The present site of the Hospital
buildings, are most unsatisfactory.
If the Hospital is to be maintained
for pay patients, would it not be
wiser to select a new site and erect
new buildings than to spend $1,000
on the present site and continue to
try and maintain the present build
ings? If you favor selecting a new
site, and erecting new buildings,
kindly state what site is your pre-
ference.

Board Seeks
Advice
Hospital Cause Of Serious
Thought.

The matter of whether or not the
County of Maui should keep up the
the maintenance of the Malulani
Hospital has been under considera-
tion by the Board of Supervisors for
some time past, and in order to get
the views of various people inter-
ested the letter printed below has
been sent out by committee of the
Board.
Although it will necessarily be a
loss to the County to maintain a
hospital, the question which has
caused the greatest amount OF worry
is whether it is advisable to repair
the present building or build a new
hospital in more centrally located
spot.
For long time past the Malulani
Hospital building has been found
inadequate and unsanitary, but the
Territorial authorities have never
seen fit to remedy the trouble.
On reading the letter sent out by
the committee the public will get a
better understanding of the situa-
ton, and as the figure therein con-
tained speak for themselves.

-SALOONISTS WILL
WORK FOR DRY ARIZONA
Prohibitionists Desire Members
on Constitutional Submis-
sion Committee

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 12.-With the
naming of twenty-four standing COM
mittees tomorrow morning, the constt-
tutional conventions organization Will
be completed, but 1t is doubtful If 1t
will be able to get down to business
because of delay in the committee on
rules, which for three days has been
trying to formulate a set Of rules for
the procedure of the convention. The
committee had not concluded its delib-
erations tonight being unable to reach
an agreement on the rules which will
govern the precedence of various pro-
posals for sections of the constitution,
particularly on those providing for the
initiative, referendum and recall propo-
sitions.
Todays session was enlivened by the
efforts of Winsor of Yuma to obtain a
reduction of the pay of the chaplain
and pages. He held that 81 q day was
sufficient for the former, and for the
latter SO, instead of. $5 each. This was
voted down after heated debate.
Goldwater of Yavapai threw the con-
vention into laughter by moving his
own dismissal as a member and his
appointment as a page. The members
of the convention, according to the en-
abling act, receive 81 per diem.
The Anti-Saloon league indicated to-
day its coming activity on behalf of the
submission of statewide prohibition at
the election for the ratification of the
constitution by requesting President
Hunt to name several members pledged
to their cause on the committee on
matters for submission.
Under the statehood enabling act the
regular biennial election is annulled
and county and territorial officials are
to hold over until the state govern
ment is formed. There is a question
as to whether the delegate to congress
is a territorial officer. If he is not, Ari-
zona will have no representative in the
next congress unless congress provides
for recognizing the present delegate, or
the territory is admitted in time for the
election of a congressman, which at
the earliest could not be before the
summer of next year.

ALASKA GOVERNOR FAV0RS
OPENING COAL LANDS
Says Territory Has Enough Fuel
to Last Coast 6O00 Years

JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 12.-Gov.
Walter e. Clark, who has returned
from a seventy-day tour of Alaska,
said today that in his annual report to
the president he would make recon-
mendation concerning the opening of
the great coal fields of the territory.
1t is said he favors leasing the land,
but he declined to outline his plan
further than to say that it provided
for protection of the people against
the coal falling into the hands OF
monopolies. The governor said:
ALASKA is entirely capable of sup
porting a large permanent population,
but more liberal treatment by the fed
eral government is absolutely neces-
sary to the development of the Alas
kan coal fields, which at the present
rate of consumption on the Pacific
coast would last the coast for 5000
years or more. The coal that Alaska
is now burning is imported largely
from foreign countries and costs $1S a
ton. A few miles away much better
coal is locked in the ground"
