stoned by tanameshi collapses. Two
of these stores have been able to re-
sumo business, owing to the fact, it
is reported, of their creditors being
willing to accept some so cents on the

OF the pernicious tanamoshi, directly
and indirectly, and the bed of the

of roses these days.
And then, as before mentioned, the
county has gone broke" It is stated
that the county supervisors are right
up against the proposition of keeping
the county machinery running for
some four months or more without a
cent. 1t is estimated that some
$4,000 will be required during this
period. OF course it is expected that
the local banks viii come to the res
cue and cash registered warrants as
they are presentation a considera-
ton. But here again the way isn't
any too easy, for the banks are hold
ing onto their money pretty close
these days, and besides it is more
than likely that they are little curl
GUS to know just what the result of
the Maui Chamber of Commences
audit of the county's books will re-
veal.
1t is quite an open secret here that
the fate Of the proposed bond issue
for the construction of big reservoir
at OliRda for the Kula water system,
some more road construction in the
kula district, and other work, will de-
pend a good deal upon the Chamber
of Commerce investigation. The pro-
posai is to submit the matter to a
piebiscite vote, but as a prominent
citizen put it: I'VE want to know
what kind of men we have in the
board of supervisors before we vote
them any more money to spend"
A fairly careful sounding of public
opinion indicates that Mauiites do not
believe that there is any such unsa-
worry mess to be revealed in their
county finances as was revealed in
Hawaii, but still the feeling is that
the investigation will be good thing
and remove all uncertainties as to
county finances. In the mean
time the investigating commit
tee appointed by the chamber last
week is presumably getting busy and
every one is waiting with interest to
see what it can find.

The national guard of Hawaii is to
be issued rifles and equipment imme-
dfately. from the reserve stores of
the regular army here. Authority to
make this transfer was received by
cable this morning, by General Fun

This is big thing for the militia,
and means that there will be no delay
in equipping the three new companies,
and the otler companies that have
been recruited above the number of
rifles originally issued. A large con.
signment OF uniforms for the guard
is already on its way, so that when
the LIST infantry, n. G. H., is called
on to take part with the regulars in
the Washington birthday parade the
