Market
HOmeSteaderS Will Have New Outlet
For Their Pines.

Homesteaders who have taken up
lands recently in and around Haiku
have entered into negotiations with
California canning interests to build
a big pineapple cannery on Maui,
where it will be available for the
plantations that are going in.
The project of cooperative pine
apple company has been talked over
and the plans now being worked
out have some cooperative features.
However, the homesteaders have not
the necessary capital at hand. That
California canning interests will be
glad to erect cannery in return
for a guarantee of steady market
was assured when two substantial
Coast concerns, hearing of the op-
portunity, at once entered into ne
gotiations with the representatives
of the homesteaders of the Lindsay
and California settlement associa-
tions.
A big advantage under the plan
now proposed is that the burden of
developing the market will fall up-
on the cannery companies instead
of upon the homesteaders, since the
product will be handled by the can
merry company which erects the cam
merry, and will already have its mar
ket developed through advertising.
In fact, the pineapple market is
pretty well established already, and
the Hawaiian pines are no longer
experiments.
S. T. Starrett, superintendent of
marketing, will look into the pro-
position during his present trip to
the Coast and may return with
plans SO far advanced that the ne
cessary contracts can be signed and
the cannery plant on Maui begun
at once.

Basket Ball Girls Give Priory Team
Warm Reception.

The st. Andrews Priory basket
ball team, together with their
coach, Miss Cunningham, arrived
by the Mauna Kea Tuesday night
and were met at McGregor's by a
large delegation from , Wailuku.
The girls were taken in charge, and
every care given them, but from
later developments this care was of
the nature of the South African
cannibals who so tenderly care for
missionaries before eating them,
but that is another story.
Fl" .e first game of basket ball was
played Wednesday evening, and all
through the game it was plain to
everyone who has seen the local
team in practice, that it was their
courtesy to the visitors which made
them so tame. They just played
fast enough to keep the Honolulu
champions in sight, but nothing
could induce them to show their
true fighting spirit, and thus Homo
lulu won by score of II to 8.
But, what rude shock these
Honolulu players received in the
Thursday night game. 1t was just
like turning them loose among a
bunch of wild cats. Wailuku scored
the first point within minute of
the beginning Of play, and kept on
scoring almost at will throughout
the game. Honolulu played well,
but they were bewildered with the
dazzling speed of the Wailuku for
wards.
The Honolulu forwards were also
fast, but the close, determined
guarding Of Miss Wilcox and All
Choy, made it almost impossible for
them to do anything like effective
work. Erma Wodehouse at centre
would not be denied, and in the lat
ter part of the game the Honolulu
centre had no defence left with which
to oppose her. The final score was
"a to 10. The deciding game will
be played Monday night, and the
winners will be the undisputed
champions of the Islands. Judging
by the playing of the two teams so
far, it looks very much like win
for Wailuku.
After the game Thurday evening,
the large party present went down
on The floor and enjoyed the dam
cling to the music of the Kaia's
orchestra.

A book that thoroughly irritates you
has been added to the Library. Upon
first reading you are raging with indig-
nation that an American could write as
Boris Sidis does concerning the modern
method of education. But after reading
again the value of the book appears on
every page. "Philistine and Genius" is
the title. The essay is a remarkable one
on education, and has caused no end of
controversy. Boris Sidis is one of the
leading psychologists in the world today.
He aims to develop the personality of
children to the highest efficiency.

N a kena
Arrive es
Is at Kihei, Where Her Engine Trouble
will Be Repaired.

The power-s schooner Makena, with
, all well on board, was towed into
: Kihei Monday morning.
DR.. J. H Raymond, the owner
of the little vessel whose failure to
arrive at its port of destination
caused the circulation of many SEN
sational rumors, was informed that
the craft had been blown far out to
sea before having been taken in tow
by the fishing sampan.
From advices forwarded to DR..
Raymond, the Makena, in helpless
conditions through the breaking
down of her carbureter, was picked
up on last Thursday by the Japan
ese and from that time until early
Monday morning the disabled Ma
kena was slowly but surely brought
from a position miles to leeward of
Kahoolawe.
The Makena's engines went well
until early Thursday morning, when
the machinery running smoothly at
a hundred revolutions suddenly
stopped. All attempts to adjust
the carbureter failed despite the
efforts of Captain Tom Mason and
his two assistants. When it was
found impossible to get the carbu-
reter working, the Japanese tried
squirting the gasoline into the en-
glne with squirt gun.
The Makena was seen by observ-
ers stationed on Kahoolawe, where
at the present time a party of goat
hunters acting under the direction
of Supervisor Eben Low are carry
ing on campaign of determination
of the four-footed pests that abound
there.
DR.. Mitamura, head of one of the
Honolulu japanese fishing COM
panies, was the first to receive re-
port concerning the safety of the
Makena. Early Sunday morning n
japanese sampan owner on arrival
at Honolulu stated that his vessel
had come upon the Makena while
the power schooner was drifting
helpless to the leeward of Lahaina.
The japanese vessel, known locally
as the Asahi Maru, stood by for a
short time, her men ready to lend
assistance should it be needed.
Upon inquiry, the japanese state
that they were told that the Ma
kena's engines were not acting pro-
perly but that there was every
reason to believe that the machinery
would soon be placed in working
order again.
After brief exchange of greet.
ings between the Japanese on the
Makena and the Asahi Maru, the
latter vessel continued on her course
in the direction of Honolulu, while
it was generally supposed that the
Makena would endeavor to put into
Kihei Bay.

Since the construction Of the gas works
the city has experienced difficulty and
been put to unnecessary expense IN

present conditions it is necessary to
load wheelbarrows from cars on Lee

lumined her face and TRANSPORTED her
form to n of slender, b%ewitching
beauty.
Comes one day a climber, more dar-
ing than others before him. The icy
fastness where she hides her lowell
ness is invaded by him. Having been
seer by him her retreat soon is in
vaded by many men eager to behold
her and, from the thrill of beholding
her. doomed to love her hopelessly.
She is kind, but cold to all. Unable
to endure the sight of one so beauti-
full and still not possess her, her ad-
mirers Join in a prayer to heaven.
They ask that since they may not
claim her for their own they may at
least be spared the sight OF one so
lovely. The prayer is answered. The
angel is taken back to heaven. She
leaves behind her human heart in the
edelweiss as a memento OF her earth
ly residence.
And so from an object of love itself.
the edelweiss has come to be the
symbol of love. The Swiss maiden to
whom some swain mas brought the
edelweiss knows hat he has risked
his life to gather the tiny blossoms for
her. Receiving them, she under
stands, because the mute appeal OF
the edeIweiss is stronger than words.
