has Governor Pinkham's cordial
support. This was made clear III
his address last Saturday night, on
Market street. Not only does the
chief executive believe i'll the prln-
ciple of the counties borrowing
their own money, but he endorses
all and severally the projects upon
which the people will be asked to
vote at the plebiscite election called
for June 27th.
Following his arrival last Satur-
day morning, the Governor visited
lao Valley for the purpose of look
ing into the need of all extension
of the main water line further up
the valley. At o clock, accom-
panied by members of the board OF
supervisors, and members of the
county democratic committee, he
left by special train on the Kahu-
lui railroad for Haiku, from which
point he was escorted over the
Kuiaha- Pauwela homesteads under
guidance of Supervisor Henning,
Hugh Howell, and DR.. H. Ray
mond. III the afternoon trip by
auto was made to Kihei where the
Importance of the proposed new
road through the Waiohuli-Keokea
homesteads was impressed upon
him. A drive was also made out
Kahakuloa way, where it is pro-
posed to spend $4,000 for building
mile of road from Kaiue to the
Kahakuloa flats.
Following the Market street
meeting Governor Pinkham was
rendered a reception at the Armory,
in Wailuku. Sunday he spent at
Ulupalakua, as DR.. Raymond S
guest, and Monday morning he
met the members of the Belt Road
loan fund commission, later driving
to Lahaina, where he made an adj
dress i'll the evening, before taking
the Mauna Kea at that point for
Honolulu.
The crowd of speakers which was
expected from Honolulu as part
of the Governor party, failed to
materialize, with the exception oi
Senator ]. L. Coke, who accom-
panied the Governor on his investi-
cations, and made addresses sup
porting the bond issue at both
Wailuku and Lahaina.
THE WAILUKU MEETING.
Market street, in the vicinity ot
the balcony from which speaking
took place, was packed with peo-
pie representing all Central Maui
when, escorted by the local COM
pany of the National Guard, the
Governor arrived from the hotel
Thomas Clark, chairman of the
; democratic county committee pre-
sided at the meeting.
Governor Pinkham was roundly
applauded as he stepped to the
front. AS he spoke, his remark:
we're translated by Hon. w. J
Coelho. He began by stating tha
one reason why the last 81 500, ,00(

years ago has not been floated, il

have but So, 800, 900 that it can
issue.
The Governor clearly indicated
that he believes it is up to the
counties from now OIL, to attend to
their own finances. He indicated
that it is unlikely that the Terri
tory will borrow any more for
Honolulu. If the island metro
polls wants to borrow she will have
to do it under the new law passed
by the last legislature. He charact-
erizes the old system as obsolete.
Under the new plan of the counties
issuing their own bonds, he be-
lieves that a greater sense of res
possibility will be fostered.
Regarding the present proposal
of Maui county to borrow S119, 900,
he took up each of the purposes for
which the money is to be used, and
approved each in turn. He dwelt
strongly OH the need of the people
of Kula for a dependable water
supply, saying that it was not
merely a case of economic import
ance, but one of necessity if people
are to live in the district. He
summed up that the reservoir ex-
penditure of $50, 500 is amply
justified, and should not be OPP
posed by more fortunately situated
districts.
The item of $22, 900 for concrete
bridges in the Hama district, the
Governor believes has much to re-
commend it. The bridges to be
replaced, he understood to be i'll
dangerous and condition, should an
accident occur through the neglect
of the county, he asked if the
county would not be liable. In
such event, it might therefore be
cheap insurance to build the bridg,
es now and take no chances.
| Governor Pinkham stated that
he had seen the condition of the
water source from which Wailuku
and Kahului are supplied. He
did not go into details, but implied
that he considered the danger from
contamination to be very great, by
reason of residences and othel
sources of pollution being along
the stream above the present in
take. He declared that one of hi:
first acts upon returning to Homo
lulu will be to instruct the Health
department to get busy and enforce
the laws which govern such condi
tions.
The small sum of $4,000 needed
to make it possible for the Waihee
farmers to get their taro to market
without excessive cost, by the con
struction of about one mile of road
he believes is entirely warranted.
Likewise, the Kihei road item o
S12,O 900, he considers a very reason
able demand.
, COKE MAKES GOOD.
Senator James L. Coke evidently
made good with the crowd in {
short talk urging the necessity o
the improvements asked for. H,
reminded his hearers that practi
cally every improvement whicl
the community has ever secured
paved streets, sidewalks, electri,
lights, ETC., had been secured only
after strong opposition on the par
of those who believed the old wa,
was good enough.

TO LOAN fund MEETING
Sets Off Fireworks at Conference of Commission
With GOvernOr-0ppOses Further Bonds For
Keanae Road-GOvernOr Nom n-Committa.

Governor Pinkham's visit did
not clear up the uncertainty as to
whether or not the people of
Keanae are to get their road COM
pleted from Hama. Just before the
Governor left Wailuku for Lahaina,
on Monday, he met the members
of the Maui loan fund commission, to
whom he declined at this time to
indicate what will be his policy in
the matter of the S135, 900, still to
come to this county, provided the
Governor sanctions another terri
torial bond issue, as authorized by
the legislature. The sum of 81,
100000 may still be borrowed,
through this authorization, or such
part as the Governor sees fit to
allow, to be applied to various
public improvements III the differ
ent islands.

DR.. Raymond, who was also
present at the meeting, injected
some real interest at several points
of the discussion. Chairman Pogue
had told the Governor that the
commission had sought the confer

pended on on>the John H. Wilson

Condo, S. D., Sept. 5.-Farmers in this
vicinity are aroused over the operations
of a firebug. Thus far several fires have
occurred. in which the loss Of live stock
and property was heavy, and in each
case the unknown i%ncendiary is held re-
spohsible for the fires. One of the
sufferers from the work of the I'M
known was William Christensen, liv-
ing southwest on Conde. His barn was
set on fire and totally destroyed, to-
gether with six head OF horses and other
property. Only two hours after this fire
the barn on the Tennis farm, south
east on Condo, was set on fire and
burned. In addition to other property.
five head of valuable horses were
burned to death. These two. fires oc-

by the same person. who hurried from
