SoI0ns Visit
Taro Lands

That there will soon be a new
road although a short one--on
Molokai, is the news that the super
visors brought back from Wailau,
where they went to look into the
possibilities of raising taro at that
place. Supervisors Lake, Henning
and Chairman Kalama, accompa-
MED by the county clerk, made the
trip.
The taro land was looked over
and the location for the proposed
road to the landing was inspected.
The road will only be about eight
hundred feet long, but will be of
great value to the shippers of taro.
The county solons decided to
send the county engineer over to
Wailau to size up the proposition
and to make q survey of the new
road. That the work will be un-
dertaken, there is no doubt, and
Superintendent McVeigh feels very
pleased about the outcome of the
supervisors visit.

New ''Water
Man Here

Another addition has been made to
the photographic survey depart
ment of Maui, and Mr.. f. O. Chris
tensen has been detailed here to
help Mr.. C. r. Bailey who succeeded
popular "Bill' Stewart, some
months ago. Mr.. Christensen has
oeen on Hawaii for a year or so,
and he has been transferred to
Maui. There is plenty of work on
this island for two or more of the
water measurers" and the streams
nd waterfalls will continue to give
} their data in wet and fine
heather.
The work of collecting data on
tl(e water supply of Hawaii is break
inn into virgin soil and it will take
solse years till really accurate figures
relating to the available water are
obtained.
The photographic survey depart
ment is doing great work in
this islands and, in time, there will
be sufficient data gathered to enable
the water men to give accurate
figures as to the water that flows
down to the sea or is in some other
way lost. But it will take time, as
a start had to be made couple of
years ago and there were no pre-
vious figures to go on, And, even
the records of a couple of years can
only be approximate, as q succession
of fairly dry or very wet seasons,
might upset all calculations. How
ever, in few years time there will
be sufficient data to enable the water
measurers to say positively that the
average annual flow is this or that.

All Aboard
For Puunone
Gala Day Begins At Nine O'clock
This MOrning-0ne Long
J0y-burst.

This morning all Maui will be
vending its way to the Puunene
tennis courts where the ANNUAL
inter-island tennis match will be
started up at nine O'Clock. An
early start is necessary so as to get
the tennis finished by noon, or
shortly after, and enable the ball
players to have a short rest before
tackling the All-Maui baseball nine.
The day promises to be the best
sporting one ever pulled off on
Maui, and there will be plenty to
keep the local people and the visitors
from Oahu busy and happy for the
whole twenty four hours that King
Carnival will reign.
There has been a change made
as regards the lineup of the Homo
lulu tennis team and the men who
will make the trip are as follow:
Castle and Lowery; NOVEL; and
Anderson; Roth and Steere; lizard
and Bockus; Hoogs and Baldwin;
1t. Robertson and 1t. Peyton.
The last two teams are subject
to change, but if they are changed
it will be by substitution of weaker
players.
The swimming team will be a
strong one, and Will Roth will
captain the outfit. AL Castle
wrote to say that he had to draw
on some of the baseball team fot
swimmers, as he thought there
would be little probability of the
tennis players being able to float
much less swim-after lunch al
Puunene! The Honolulu swim
ming team will be make up as
follows: Roth, Captain; Hitch,
cock; Hoogs; Lyman; Inman and
Brown.

will be as follows: Lyman, c

RESULTS.
Stars beat KahuIui, score, 6 to 5.
STANDING OF THE TEAMS.

On Sunday afternoon last there
was only one ball game, as the
Lahaina team did not turn up to
fill its engagement with the Puu-
meme outfit. However, the game
that was played was a beauty to
watch, and the fans became worked
up over the struggle. The Stars
started out in the first inning, and
they piled up three runs that left
the Kahului bunch gasping for
breath. 1t was not till the fourth
inning that the Seasiders got going
in the run-getting streak, and then
they made one notch. The Stars
were on the job with a vengeance,
and they added one in their fifth
and two in their sixth. The score
then stood at 6 to | and the crowd
thought all the excitement was
over for the day.
There was no score in the seventh
inning, but in the eighth and first
half of the ninth, the Kahului boys
came to life in a sensational fashion
The Seasiders scored two runs in
the eighth and the ninth, and fin
ished just one run behind their
opponents. There was some talk
of a protest on account of a decision
at third, but nothing came of the
matter.
The full score follows:

Nothing Doing
Says Bond

That the proposal made by The
Weekly Times that the trees on
Main street be cut down in order
to enable loungers on the verandah
of the local hotel and the drug
store, to see more Of Kahului har-
Dor, without the trouble of moving,
has aroused everybody in this town
is apparent when the letter from
Robert e. Bond is read. The COM
munication reads as follows:
Editor MAUI News,
Wailuku, T. II.
Dear Sir;
The Island Electric Company,
Ltd, begs to be excused from tax
ing part in any such performance
as that suggested in the astonishing
editorial in The Weekly Times, OF
August 14th, relative to the cutting
of trees on Main street, which must
have been intended to arouse imme-
diate opposition to one of the most
unheard Of propositions. Every
where else in the civilized world, not
the destruction, but the planting of
trees is encouraged. Shall Wailuku
: remove its own ornament and nat
: ural beauties for the purpose of pro-
viding few travellers an additional
vista and view of Kahului? Every
fine tree in Wailuku hides, from
viewpoint, one of the beauty spots
of Maui, for Maui is composed of
nothing else; but we are not going
to recommend the removal of any
trees on that account. The trees
are part of the natural beauty of the
town and island.
The removal of all trees along its
lines would undoubtedly save the
Island Electric Company a few dol
lars a month out of its present ex-
penses; and the Island Electric
Company is always willing anG
ready Ito tackle" any job within
its power to carry through for the
welfare of the residents of Maui anC
the improvement of conditions o.
living in your vicinity; but, so Ions
as the writer has anything to dc
with the management of that COM
pany, you may be sure it will takC
no part in the destruction of any
trees through which it can otherwis,
pass its wires. The population o
Wailuku will not dwindle becaus,
big trees obstruct one particular
view of Kahului from the Mau
Hotel. Very truly yours,
ROBERT E. BOND

Man
Is Attacked
Japanese lnfIicts GhastIy Injuries On
Fellow C0untyman-Many
Knife Wounds.

Cold blooded murder was at
y tempted by a Japanese named
Hasegawa, at Camp Six, Puunene,
on Wednesday morning last at
about two o'clock. The wouldbe
murderer attracked a countryman
named Soma, while the latter was
asleep and frightfully mutilated
him. The wounded man is in the
Puunene hospital and his assailant
is in the local Jail.
1t appears that the two men had
spent the evening together and
that there had been a row about
something or another. However,
neighbors say that Hasegawa left
Soma's house at about eleven
o'clock on Tuesday evening. The
next thing that is known is that a
loud noise and cries for help were
heard. The neighbors at once ran
to Soma's house and there found
Hasegawa, with a bloodstained
cane knife in his hands, standing
over Soma's bed.
The sight was a CHASTITY one and
the other Japanese laboreE6 and the
plantation police officer, who was
hastily summoned, were appalled,
at the injuries that had been in

More Fines
For Autoists

Still another bunch of speeders
faced Judge Mckay on Tuesday
last, and they were all soaked in
small amounts. The judge gave
the speeders a lecture and declared
that he would inflict a much heav-
ier penalty should any of the crowd
appear before him again on a sim
liar charge.
One driver, Chinen, who was up
for the second time, was fined $40,
but the rest got off with S. each.
The evidence was all the same in
every case, and the speed was
proved by the timing apparatus of
the police department.
A determined effort is being
made to stop speeding, and flesh
is not being made of one and fowl
of another. Whitemen, Chinese,
Japanese and all other nationalities
are being summoned when caught.
The little list of Judge McKay's
visitors. included the following
auto drivers: J. Garcia, Sam Ka-
leo, w. Server, Chinen, Tatsumi,
S. Fernandez and Yamastu.

County May
Take Hold

That the County of Maui will
probably take hold of the Hale
akala crater house proposition, is
the latest news. The scheme is
being worked up so as to enable
the county to secure a tract of land
near the summit of Haleakala and
to establish a pasturage there.
Then man would be placed at
the house that would be erected in
the pasture. The mans duties
would be to look after the animals
on the pasture, repair the trail to
the summit and have charge of the
key of the crater house.
No one without pass would be
allowed to enter the rest house,
and those who did stay there for
the night would be responsible for
any damage done to the house.
On the pasture there would be
kept ponies and pack animals.
These will be rented out at rea-
sonable charges and the tourists
will be able to secure the mounts
by telephoning to the man in
charge.
1t is planned to rcnovate the rest
house. A concrete floor will be
put in and several other improve
ments are planned. The people
who are in the habit of frequenting
the rest house without any right to
do so, will be firmly informed that
the place is tabu unless a pass is
obtained. In this way vandals will
be discouraged and the rest house
will be used for the purpose for
which it was constructed.
If the plans of the supervisors
go through, there will be a great
change, for the summit of Hale.
akala, and tourists will be able to
make the trip happy in the thought
that they will be able TO pass the
night in comfort on the edge OF
the huge crater.

TODAY

William Johnston, writing some
very sound advice in the June
American magazine, says:
Goods days and bad days exist
only in your own head. The weather
has nothing TO do with it. Each day
is what you make it for yourself.
Bad weather is only an unfortunate
opinion.
'Supposing it is raining pttchforks.
You get word that your salary has
been doubled or that forgotten
uncle has left you million dollars.
What do you care about the weather
then? Or suppose the person you
love is dying. Unexpectedly a turn
for the better comes. The doctor
says your dear one will live. What
if it is hotter than Tophetr it Is a
good day, great day, happy day.
Its what you think and feel
about it that makes each day what it
is. You, within yourself, can make
each day, every day, good day. Put
down in the notebook of your soul,
the poet Runeberg's thought:
Each day is life.
when you get up in the morning
throw back your shoulders, take a
deep breath. Meet the new day like
man. Say to yourself:
Another day-another life!
For all we know it may be the
Only day we1l ever have. Let's make
1t the best day we can. Let's move a
step forward in our work. Let's do
all the good we can. Let's get all
the happiness we can-today.
Right now is the only time you
can control. Yesterday is a record.
Tomorrow is a secret. Today is
yours, is mine"

A POPULAR INSTITUTION

That the people of the United
States knew what they were about
when they demanded a parcel post
system has been amply proved by
the heavy patronage which has been
given this new branch of the postal
service. Despite the high rates and
restrictive limitations prescribed by
congress there has been a constant
gain in the number of parcels han
died since the system was established
six months ago During the first
three months of its operation about
l50, 100000 packages were handled.
Many of the arguments advanced
against the adoption of the system
have already been proven false, and
many of the objections to it have
been overthrow by its operation 1t
was a service which the people need
ed and which can be easily sustained
Oh self-supporting basis.
Notifications and changes are
gradually being made for the better
ment of the service and some radical
improvements will probably be
adopted within another year, based
on the experience of the first season.
Beginning July /, c. o. D. packages
can be sent by parcel post. A fee of
10 cents will not only pay for collec-
ton but cover the insurance on the
package up to the value of $50. A
package worth up to 500 may be
sent. Special delivery is another
privilege that has lately been added.
Efforts will soon be made in con-
gfess to get a reduction of parcel
post rates and an increase of the
weight limit, putting the service on
more nearly the basis that is so sue
cessful in many other countries. The
absurd and clumsy zone system will
probably be abolished, as it's use in
the parcel post business is as incon-
venient and unnecessary as it would
be in other lines of the postal serV-
Ice. The parcel post promises to be-
come a useful part of the national
postal service.

A PATRIOTIC CITIZEN

Through the generosity of Mr.. H.
G. Henry, all the men in this state
who participated in the battle OF
Gettysburg will be able to attend the
reunion, for which the state neglect
ed to appropriate sufficient sum-
Mr.. Henry has given the necessary
$4,000 to pay the expenses, and some
AZ men, including those who wore
the blue and those who wore the
gray, will be made happier than 1t Is
possible for any words to express.
The gift of Mr.. Henry is rather e
unique one. In these days of lavish
and professional philanthropy the
mere sum is not SO impressive, but
1t is rare to find man with $50OO
worth of unalloyed sentiment In ms
soul. Sentiment does not often make
a loud appeal. To give the necessl-
ties of life, or to give for the sup
preston of tuberculosis. as mr.
Henry has long done, is noble giving
and the world profits by 1t. But
these causes have a strong appeal IN
themselves and the good results are
tangible.
But to give simply to afford some
aged men pleasure is still more
generous giving, for 1t has nothing OF
the practical In 1t, and Mr.. Henry 5
contribution Is all the more commend
able therefor. 1t is evidence OF f'ne
spirit OF generosity, all the more Tx
