IMPROVEMENTS
At KAHULUI MAUI
Says the Maui News:

Says the Maui News:
Manager Williams, of the Kahului
Railroad is a great believer in the old
adage that if a thing is worth doing
at all it is worth doing we'll The
new depot, wharf, and railroad yard,
that is now in smooth working order
at Kahului is such an Improvement
over the old order of things, has such
an up-to-dateness about it, that it gives
the place an air of business hustle,
which the stranger hardly expects to
find in this neck of the woods. Pas
sengers landing from the Claudine on
Saturday mornings are startled almost
before their eyes are opened at the
sight of three trains waiting on the
wharf, to carry them forward to their
destination. True, this will take some
business away from the automobiles,
but it shows progressiveness, and a
genuine desire to give the public the
best service possible.
The new depot is great improve
ment. 1t is roomy, and passengers
can have no fault to find with the sys-
tematic handling of baggage arriving
and departing. The management have
provided parcel room where parcels
and packages can be left for a nominal
charge the same as on the coast. The
post Office has been provided for also
and is now installed in a light, airy
room.
1t is the plan to move all the rail
road offices up to the Masonic build
ing, thus combining the merchandise
department and the business office, in
order that all business connected with
the railroad may be carried on under
one roof. Taken altogether Kahulu
can be said to have made rapid stride:
from business standpoint, in the pas
few months.

NEW YORK, December 3, 1910.
Mr.. Hills over-gloomy interview
created a much @stronger impression
than it deserved, and certainly more
than was intended. 1t contained prac-
tically nothing new, nothing that was
not known before to all intelligent OBJ
servers. The interview, however,
served to concentrate the attention
and awaken a great many unthinking
and overconfident individuals to the
real truth of the situation. Unwel-
come as the fact may be, it is being
recognized on all sides that the count
try is in the midst Of reactionary in
fluences which have been growing
stronger and stronger throughout the
year. These advices have frequently
pointed out that an era of readjust-
ment had begun which must continue
until stage of equilibrium has been
been reached upon which to base an
other substantial forward movement
Values of every kind, securities, com"
modities, land, labor, etc., were high
ly inflated. Consumption has been
checked because of exhausted buying
power, and the country's, savings much
diminished. A halt, and at least tenn
