HUGH H0WELL'S PAPER
WAS BRILLIANT Effort
Well Known Engineer Read Address On Road
Development That Aroused Much interest
History Of Work From Time OF Chiefs.

1t is hard to say when road
building first began i'll these Isl
ands, but it is certain that the
early natives were great travellers
and they were known to make long
journeys on foot at rapid pace.
Some of the simplest forms of the
early roads can be seen today.
Over the rough lava flows can be
found round fiat smooth stones,
spaced about the distance of a
mans stride, to protect the bare
feet of the natives from being cut
with the sharp lava. These stones
are called ala; hence the term,
alanui, a roadway, from ala, ," a
nui," large. In the wind
ward districts over the steep
pals, zigzag trails were built, fol-
lowing the line of least resistance,
usually running from the seashore
up over the highest points of ridges
and down to the sea again. These
trails were naturally very steep,
some of the ridges being six and
seven hundred feet high. In places
1 have measured grades as steep as
sixty per cent or six feet up in ten
feet horizontal; and for long dis
tances, thirty and forty per cent is
common. To avoid the excessive
wear of water, these trails were
often paved with stones, generally
round slippery cobbles from the
beach, these being the most avail
able.

Well Maui is on the map as re-
CARDS conventions, and the samples
of yells and songs given above only
begin to tell the tale of enthusiasm
that was worked up during the four
days session of the Civic Convention
in Honolulu. There was great work
done on the get together" princi-
pie and the whole was an eye
opener to the delegates from Maui.
From start to finish the whole
was an inspiring one
and the presence of men like l.. IA.

IIith the importation of horses,
buI few changes were made in the
trans except i'll places to widen
thel slightly and lay the paving
stoi les closer together. Both man
and beast had to learn to negotiate
these steep, slippery zigzag paths,
or stay at home. Even in the
smoother country but little atten-
ton was paid to grade i'll laying
out the trails. They almost always
ran i'll the most direct line, over
hills and across hollows. Then,
when the missionaries came, and
whisky, tobacco and other forms of
civilization were introduced, wheel
ed vehicles became necessary, these
being drawn at first mostly by cat
tie. Of course when the grade
was too steep or too rough, it was
easier ana cheaper TO hitch on two
or three dozen more yoke of oxen
than to build roads that horses and
mules could pull over, and very
often the same old trails that were
first picked out for foot trails, and
later used for horse trails, were
converted into wagon roads by
simply widening them, regardless
of grades except where they were
so frightfully steep that it was fair
ly impossible to get over them.
Where the original grade was very
much over thirty per cent, it was

On Sunday last Mr., and Mrs.

island.

Frank Sommerfeld sustained a broken

ing a cattle drive. He is about again,
however, and is beginning to feel better
already.

Civic CONVENTION WAS
MOST INSPIRING AFFAIR
Delegates From All Islands Present-Maui Men
Learned Some Interesting Facts-Big Men Of
Territory Were in Attendance All the Time.

Thurston, Clarence Cooke, c. G..
Kennedy, John Scott, Governor
Carter, Frank Thompson, w. r.
harrington, Fred. Waldron, John
Hackfeld, r. o. Matheson and sew
eral hundred other men who do
real things in this Hawaii of ours,
was something that impressed the
Maui delegates with the imhportance
OF the convention.
Maui was not represented as she
should have been, and the regret OF
all those who attended the conven-
ton is that the whole of the Maui
Chamber of Commerce was not pre-
sent, and that every prominent man
on Maui was not there to see what
was the first big movement ever
made to get all the peoples of the
different islands together, and to
instill that feeling of respect and
admiration that always results in
general good to the whole commu-
nifty.
