TO TRY
SHIPPING fresh PINES
Big Meeting Of Haiku Farmers Decides to Adopt Plan
of DR.. WiIcox-RarOad Will Hell eIp-HOpetOP Prevent
Loss That Low Cannery Indicate

If the present plans of the home
steaders i'll the Haiku district can
be carried out as expected, fresh
Maui pineapples will be one of the
features OIL the mainland markets
during the coming summer. At a
very largely attended meeting held
in the Kuiaha schoolhouse last Sat
urday evening, DR.. L. V. Wilcox,
director of the federal experiment
station, addressed the settlers, hav-
ing come to Maui at the invitation
of the Haiku Farmers Association
for that purpose.
DR.. Wilcox declared that the
shipping of fresh pines to the coast
is entirely feasible, and dependent
almost solely upon the treatment
they receive in transit. He told
of his investigation into this trans
portion matter, and stated that the
steamship companies are much bet
ter prepared to give fresh fruit
proper ventilation than formerly
Moreover the possibilities of fresh
pines as a source of tonnage for
ships is now beginning to be ap-
preciated by steamship men.
AS a result of the meeting it
was virtually decided to give the
fresh fruit shipments a thorough
trial, and this will be done by
the growers working comparatively.
DR.. Wilcox expects to be able to
secure for the settlers the services
of Leslie Clark, of the College of
Hawaii, who is an expert in the
grading and packing of pineapples
The fruit will be packed in inn
proved crates, and in excelsior.
1t is possible that an experiment
tai shipment will be made within
the next few weeks, but the bulk OF
the crop will not come to maturity
before July and August. The fact
that the bulk OF the sugar has beer
shipped before the pineapple cror
comes on, makes it the more likely

COMMISSION KICKS when
SUPERVISORS USE AUTO
Loan Fund CustOdians Say Supervisors Took Machine
and Damaged lt--7Landing Improvement at PukOo
Territory Refunds Money Spent

and maintains three others for va
rious departments.
The Territorial Board of Harbor
Commissioners has asked the coun-
ty supervisors to make fill at the
approach to the Pukoo wharf, on
Molokai, in order that the landing
facilities there may be made ade-
quatp. The matter will be looked
into.
The territory has turned over to
the County of Maui $1,000 to apply
on the amount expended in open
ing the new road through the Kui-
aha-Pauwela homesteads. BY act
of the last Legislature the counties
may undertake such Improvements
for homcsteads, and later be reim-
bursed from monies coming in from
the payments made by the set
tiers. This is the first instalment
which the territory has paid on this
work.
d. Y. Fleming asked the super
visors to recommend to the secre-
tary of the territory that the polling
place at Honolua be changed to Ho-
nakoo, a more central point in the
Lahaina district. The suggestion was
approved, and the recommendation
will be made accordingly. The mem
bers of the board also expressed
themselves favorably regarding the
proposal to divide the 18th precinct
(Hamakuapoko) into two precincts.
Supervisor T. r. Meyer, of Molo-
kai was not able to be present al
the boards meeting this week,
owing to illness in bis family.
The important matter of franz
ing a new schedule of water rates
for all three of the systems owned
by the County, was the chief bust
ness before the Board of Supervisor.
yesterday. According to evidence
before the board in shape of detail,
ed reports, the present schedule:
are ridiculously inadequate. 1t i.
hoped to pass the new schedules OF
first reading at this meeting of the
board.
