May Split
Precinct

A petition is being circulated
the Haiku homesteaders
and other residents living between
Haiku and Peahi, for the sub-div-
ision of the 18th, or Hamakuapoko
voting precinct, of the district of
Makawao. The petition sets forth
that the precinct is too large, and
that large number of voters are
greatly inconvinced by being re-
quired to go to Hamuapoko to cast
their ballots.
The petitioners ask that the new
precinct include Haiku, Pauwela,
Kuiaha, Kaupakalua and Peahi.

no serious difficulty in having the
quarantine ban removed for such
fruit as bears the proper refrigera-
ton certificate. The process also
has the advantage that pears may
be held for several months, thus
permitting their being placed OH the
markets at the most advantageous
times as regards prices.
The expectation of alligator pears
had begun to assume important
proportions when the fruit fly came
into prominence, and it seems pro-
bable that with this handicap re-
moved, Hawaii should, in a few
years have another asset of import
ance in this one fruit alone.

Water Job

Hugh Howell was awarded the
contract for extension of the pipe
line of the Lahaina water works,
and for other improvement of the
service, by the Board of Supervisors
at its meeting on Thursday morn
ing. Howell's bid for the job was
S971S. Two other bids were sub
mitted, J. C. Foss, Jr., offering to
do the work for SO, 0,425; and A.
A. Wilson, whose bid was u, 400.

Polo AfOOt
Gets Boys
In Trouble

John Souza Baltizado, aged II,
and Toxic Shimeto, aged 10, pro-
baby never heard of the game of
shiny" but they do know about
polo. In their fertile brains the
idea suggested itself that polo
might be played with some success
without ponies. They decided to
try it. Apparently, however, their
inventive genius was not equal to
devising Skinny club from crook
ed stick, and a ball from stone or
block of wood, as their mainland
cousins are wont to do, so when
the impulse became too strong they
broke into the stables of the Maka-
wac Polo Club, at Sunnyside, and
helped themselves to such equip
ment as struck their fancy.
But the polo clubs were too long
for effective work on foot, so they
cut off the handles to length that
suited their stature. Also they
thought they needed some gaunt-
lets, or wrist bands, and these
were easily provided by cutting up
a number of leather horse-boots.
In all they ruined property to the
value of $3.50, according to the
complaint filed against them before
Judge Kingsbury, in the Juvenile
court, on Wednesday of this week.
The boys were found guilty, but
the Court declined to sent them to
the reform school, releasing them
on parole. They will be under the
guidance of probation officers TO be
appointed, and will be given an
other chance.

Fruit Fly
Says Wilcox

That alligator pears, which are
now shut out of the mainland
markets on account of the Mediter
ranean fruit fly, may again be eX-
ported, seems probable from the
experiments which have been made
recently by the Hawaii Experiment
Station. For some time past the
federal station has been expert
menting on the effect of regrigera-
ton upon various Hawaiian fruits,
and the interesting discovery has
been made that the larvae and eggs
of the fruit fly are killed by expo
sure to the low temperature.
In his address to the Haiku
Farmers Association last Saturday
night, DR.. +. V. Wilcox, director
of the station, stated that avacados
had been kept in perfect con-
dition for a period of six weeks in
a temperature near the freezing
point, and that in every instance
the fruit fly larvae and eggshas been
destroyed. If it can be thoroughly
demonstrated,t that this treatment is
absolutely effective, DR., Wilcox
states that there will probably be

The right of Supervisors Drum
mond and Lake to make use of an
automobile owned by the Maui
Loan Fund Commission, occasioned
some little discussion in the board
at its meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The matter came up through the
reading OF a communication which
Mr.. Drummond received from Il.
A. Wadsworth, secretary of the
Commission, in which the claim
was made that the machine in
question had been taken without
authorization, and against the eX-
press wishes of the Commission.
Moreover, that the trip in question
had been made without oil and as q
consequence heavy repairs are neces-
sary before the car can again be
used. The commission asked Mr..
Drummond and Mr.. Lake to make
good the damage.
Mr.. Drummond explained that
the car had been taken in order to
make an official inspection trip OF
the Keokea reservoir, and in order
to save the county the expense Of a
hired car. He believed the machine
in question was to all intents and
purposes county machine. AS tc
damage claimed, he said the auto
had been in bad condition in the
first place.
AS the matter was finally left, il
was practically decided that the
County should assume the respon.
sibility, and have the machine put
in repair and that until the Loan
Fund Commission quits business
the supervisors will find other means
OF transportation.
Mr.. Wadsworth, who happened
in at the time the matter was under
discussion, explained the attitude
of the loan commission, which il
that until its work is ended it il
not justified in permitting the us,
of property for which it may have
further use.
In reply to a query from Wads
worth, 1t was stated that the count!
at present owns three automobiles

O clock, the two singles matches and
the No. 8 doubles will be played off.
On Monday afternoon, beginning
at 4 o'clock, the 1st and 2nd dou-
bles matches will be played.
The Paia Tennis Club extends a
general invitation to all persons in
terested in tennis to attend the
games, which undoubtedly will be
very interesting, and it is expected
that large crowd of spectators will
be present. The visiting players
expect to return to Honolulu on
Monday evening.

that the steamship companies will
make even unusual effort to make
the business a SUCCESS and thus
guaranty its permanenCy. Before
returning to Honolulu, DR.. Wilcox
had a conference with VIM. Walsh,
superintendent of the Kahului
Railroad, and received every assur-
ance that the railroad company will
do its full part in handling the
fruit from the Pauwela or Haiku
stations until it is upon the steam
er. 1t isn't a matter of helping
the homesteaders," declared Mr..
Walsh, Its a matter of business
with the Kahului Railroad. We're
after business where ever we can
get it, and. we are willing to help
out in anything that promises more
freight for the railroad. "
Because of the fact that under
the present prices which the can
neries will pay for pineapples, the
growers will not be able to pay
their cost of production, there is
the keenest kind of interest in the
fresh fruit project. Oahu growers
have been able to make from $50
to 500 net per ton on successful
shipments, though on others they
have barely paid expenses owing to
damage to fruit enroute. This
damage is declared to be almost
solely due to lack of proper venti-
lation on the vessels, or through
the fruits becoming wet.
DR.. Wilcox also urged the Haiku
farmers to devote themselves to the
raising of other products than pine
apples. This is already being un-
dertaken by almost all of the set
tiers, in some degree, and already
the outlook for quite large range
of products is considered excellent
With new soil to deal with, how
ever, and new climatic conditions
it is not surprising that a grea
deal of experimenting is necessary

Winery
Control
Changes

As soon as the business details
can be worked out, the Kaupakalua
Wine & Liquor Company's business
will be handled through the Maui
Wine IL Liquor Company. This
was definitely decided upon on
Monday when the stockholders of
the last named corporation author
lied an increase of the capital stock
of their company by Sl2, 800, which
is to be used in taking over the
stock of number of the larger
Kaupakalua shareholders. 1t is
stated that by this move the finan-
cial crash of the wine making COM
pany, which has been imminent,
will be averted.
The Kaupakalua Wine & Liquor
Company was organized some years
ago and has been in the business of
manufacturing wine from grapes
raised principally by the small
Portuguese farmers of the Kaupaka-
lua district.
The stock which the Maui Wine
& Liquor Company will take over,
it is stated, will be on the basis of
81 per share (par s1O). There are
between 200 and 800 small share
holders, most of whom have de-
pended to u considerable extent for
their livelihood in furnishing grapes
to the winery, and to them the
news that the business is not to be
suspended is of very vital import
ance.
1t is understood that in the reor-
ganization of the winery company
j, V. Maciel will continue as presi-
dent, but that w. T. Robinson, r.
A. Wadsworth, John Vasconcellos
and J Garcia of the Maui COM
pany, are to hold four of the seven
places on the directorate.

Successful
Church Fair

One of the most successful fairs
ever held OIL Maui was that given
in the grounds of the St. Joseph's
Church, Makawao, last Sunday.
The occasion was the celebration
of St. Joseph's Day. A very large
crowd was in attendance through
ut the day, and everybody had
Cmost enjoyable time.
High Mass was celebrated at 10
o'clock by the Rev. Father Justin,
assisted by Fathers Francis and
,Athanasius. Throughout the day
s. Paia Band played excellent
music.
As a result of the fair S16O was
realized above expenses, which will
be used to pay for new benches in
the church.
Much of the credit for the Sue
cess of the day belongs to the
ladies and gentlemen who made up
committees, and these committees
were as follow: Bazaar Committee

tas and Mrs. D. Mattos. Refresh
ments Committee-Mr. and Mrs. J.
