Engineer f. E. Harvey, who is ir-
stalling the water pipe lines in the
kuIa district, Maui, is in town for a
few days. He had conference with
the superintendent of public works,
Marston Campbell, this morning,
when the further extension of the
pipe line was discussed.
At the present moment forty-five
miles of government line is in, be-
sides which twelve miles of private
lines on ranches are carrying water
to stock and poultry-to say nothing
of human beings.
The supply of water to the Kula
people is a godsend and whereas at
this time of the year, in the old days,
people had to leave their homesteads
on account of the shortage of water,
at present everything is all right aud
everybody is happy.
It is intended to extend the main
pipe line for a distance of one and a
quarter miles into the water-bearng
mountains. This will make much

caution to lay in big stocks of the
drug, stamped, of course. For what
they then paid $40 a tin for they are
now getting from $65 to $77. But that
supply is getting pretty low, which, of
course, increases the price of the pop

DR.. Sawyer generally manages to find
time to do what there is to be done
for the good of the town, and it is
largely due to his untiring efforts that
so much has been accomplished by the
Commercial club in so short time.
