Sheep on the Grain Farm f.
BY A. E. Wade, County Agricul
turist.

A realization of the need of
conserving soil fertility and the
necessity of the full use of the
land and crops If farming is to
pay profit on the investment,
has induced many farmers to
turn their attention towards
! live stock Of various kinds. Care
full investigation has demonstrate
ed that sheep can be kept on the
grain fields of this county with
little expense and be made a
source Of considerable revenue,
derived principally from the
waste incident to straight grain
farming.
Sheep require little attention
during the busy season as lamb
ing can be done in February or
March before spring work begins,
then after crops are in, shearing
can be done and by harvest time
the lamb crop will be ready for
the market. They will eat many
weeds that other stock will not
and would prove a great benefit
to the summerfallow both before
and after blowing, thus saving
much labor otherwise necessary
to keep down weeds and pack the
ground Their droppings being
rich and evenly distributed over
the fields would be of great ben
eft to succeeding crops.
Quick returns are possible and
under ordinary conditions the |
first crop Of lambs and wool
would come near paying back the
purchase price. The ewes
fleece will pay for all feed and
care leaving the increase as a net
profit.
Shelter should be provided in
falling weather. However, they
should not be crowded closely
in i'll ventilated quarters.
Closed sheds are essential for
Early lambing but after the lambs
are few days old they can be
turned out with their mothers in

open sheds again. The equipment
iced not be expensive, with a few
posts and poles and a little woven
wire, a frame can be made for a
straw shed; the straw run on to
his at threshing time would make
N excellent protection for the II
lock.
Good fences are essential. Any

Many HOmesteaderS
Are Leaving Kuiaha
Not Able to Make Living are Proving
Up and Going Away-HOld Lands
in Hope for Future.

Owing to the fact that the popula-
tiou OF the Kuiaha homestead district
has so much decreased IN the past few
months, church services, which have
been held every two weeks in the
Kuiaha school house, have been sus-
pended. The last services were held
last Sunday under the auspices of
Rev. a. Craig Bowdish. The reason
for the decrease of population in the
district. is that many of the home
steaders have now obtained titles to
their lands, and not having been able
TO make living on their places have
moved away. AS yet, however, com
paratively few lots have changed
hands, the original owners still hold
ing then in hope that with better
prices for pineapples or the develop
ment of some other staple crop that
they may yet be able to realize on
their investments.

Changes in Hama District

Henry w. Kinney, superintendent of
schools, returned yesterday morning
on the steamer Claudine from Maui,
where he attended to number of
school affairs He decided to close the
school at Ulaino, formerly the head
quarters of the large rubber company,
and remove the teachers cottage to

Howell Makes New Map
For Promotion Committee

Hugh Howell, engineer for the coun-
ty of Maui, has compiled a map of
the valley island, which has been re-
ceived at the Promotion Committee
rooms.
The map has several new features
which make it distinctive from other
mans of the sort One of the spe-
cial features is definite marking OF
roads, with noting of mileage, towns,
and gasoline stations.
Kahului is marked as the place at
which automobiles may be landed
from ships, and all boat landings are
marked with an anchor. Another
feature of the map is a careful trac-
ing of the famous ditch trail, with
distances and different places along
it plainly marked. Folder maps will
be made from this large map, and
these are expected to be ready some
time this week,
with the receipt of this map from
Maui says A. p. Taylor, acting sec
retary, "the Promotion committee now
has almost complete information for
steamer, automobile, vehicle, horse
back and riding trips throughout all
the islands, with the mileage, rates,
and all the details that could be wish
ed for by prospective tourists.--Star'

Sunday Movies Question
Still Remains Unsettled

The question of SUNDAY movies will
probably be settled this afternoon or
tomorrow, when the Board of Super
visors expect to dispose of it perm
anently But it will not be for keeps,
if it refuses to sanction the Sunday
shows, according to George Freeland,
who made an eloquent appeal to The
board last Wednesday morning. Free
land declared that Sunday movies are
foreordained. and that they are bound
to come; and he warned the board
that he will stick with the agitation,
and perhaps go into politics himself,
until the people get their rights in
this matter.
Rev. ]. Charles Villiers spoke on The
subject, opposing the Sunday perform
ances on rather general grounds. He
stated that he did not particularly oh
ject to Sunday shows, but felt that six
days week is enough for any bust
ness or recreation. He held that
acceding to the demand of the people
for liberty. was likely to engender Ii
ceuse instead.

kahue May Fail to
Get Confirmation
Board DeadIOCked on Subject and Ka-
lama Refuses to VOte-Matter Still
Pending.

1t now seems quitel likley that J. X.
Kahue will not be the superintendent
of the MdKawao watcrworks, as re-
sion of the board of supervisors, when
ported last week. At yesterdays scs-
the matter of Kahue's appointment
came up, Drummond and Uahinui vot-
ed against confirming the appointment
while Fleming and Pail supported it..
Chairman Kalama, on the grounds
that he has no vote in the matter of
confirming his own appointment de-
c'ined to vote. Thus at the present
time the matter is deadlocked.
The law provides that county EN-
ployes such as waterworks superin-
tendents, shall be appointed by the
Chairman, subject to the confirmation
by the board. County Attorney Bevins
held that this does not debar the
chairman from exercising his right to
vote, as on any other question, but
Kalama was still unconvinced The
matter is still pending. 1t is reported
that the announcement of Kahue's ap-
pointment to the place formerly held
by Alonzo Jackson, has aroused con
siderable opposition, and that de-
termined effort is being made to block
his confirmation.

MOlOkai Contractor Has
Trouble With His Jobs

The county supervisors on Wednes-
day voted to refuse to accept the new
bridge pier built by o. Tollefsen FOR
the Honouliwai bridge, Molokai. The
county engineer and members OF the
board were of the opinion that the
pier was not built according to specl-
fications, and that the material used
was such that it would not stand.
Contractor Tollefsen was also in
bad with the board because through
a mistake, lumber for the new Kalua-
aha school had been delivered surtac-
ed on both sides instead of one side,
according to specifications Although
the planed lumber costs more, the
board held that it would not shingle
stain well, and that if the contractor
wants to use it he must give the
building three coats of oil paint in
stead of the stain. He was allowed
20 days additional time to enable him
to get more lumber,

Wholesale Houses to
Register Customers
License Commission Hits at Blind Pig
Business May Appoint Inspector
on Full Time.

At a meeting of the Maui License
Commissioners. held in the County
Clerks Office last Saturday, it was de-
cided TO recommend to the county SUI
pervisors that joint inspector be en-
ployed who shall not only look after
the regulation of the liquor traffic in
the county, but shall also act as in
speetor of weights and measures. The
Commissioners believe that by thus
combining the work of two officials
and dividing the expense, suitable
man can be found for the job who
may employ his full time, instead of
but part time, as at present. The mat
ter will probably be taken up with
the supervisors this afternoon or to-
morrow.
The commissioners also adopted a
new rule, to go into effect October /,
by which all wholesale liquor houses
will be required to keep a register and
to record the names of all customers
at the time of each purchase of Ii
uuor amounting in value to over S1.0O.
The register will be required to show
also the amount and kind of liquor
purchased, and the place of delivery,
and also whether a cash or credit pur-
chase. These records are to be open
to inspection by the Commissioners or
its officials, and to the police officials,
at any time.

Loan Commission to
Soon Let Contract
Meeting Will Probably Be Held Next
Week to Pass Upon Number of I'M
pOrtant Matters.

With the arrival of c. r. Forbes,
superintendent of public works, who
is expected next week, the loan fund
commission will probably hold meet
ing at which a number of important
matters will be definitely passed up
on. Engineer Balch now has ready
plans and specifications for the
boards attention, including the i'm
provement of the Wailuku waterworks
and the cons truction of the new Kihei
road. The experimental tests for the
O!inda reservoir have been made, and
it is now up to the commission to de-
eide definitely upon the location as
well as the size and manner of con-
struction.
Plans have also been prepared for
the enlargement of the Kula Sanitar-
ium, in accordance with the appro-
priation made by the last legislature,
and the board will probably take
steps towards letting the contract for
this work at it's first meeting.

Getting Ready for
Civic Convention
Many Candidates Still Bothering Walsh
Maui planning Some Stnnts-
Pail to Represent Supervisors.

How to reduce IS to 10, is the prob
lem that is exercising the gray mat
ter of ]. ]. Walsh to considerable
extent, these days. Nor is it an alb
stract problem either. The Is repre-
sents members of the Chamber OF
Commerce who desire the honor of
representing their body at the next
Civic Convention, to be held on Kauai,
on the 26 and 27 of this month. The
10 represents the number that may
actually go, under the limit fixed by
the Kauai Chamber of Commerce,
which is acting as host. Mr. Walsh
is a committee of one to decide the
matter He says he doesn't know how
he is going to do it, though he sug-
gests that he may send the full list
to each candidate with the request
that they vote on who shall go. The
difficulty with this plan is that excess
of modesty would probably eliminate
the entire number, which would be
worse than too many.
County Makes Choice.
The supervisors have already nam
ed their representative. 1t is to be
the Honorable Philip Pail. This ap
pointment was made at the Wednes
day session of the board this week.
1t is expected that a meeting of the
Maui delegates will be called for some
day next week, for the purpose of re
hearsing some stunts, which are now
being originated for the purpose oi
properly impressing the big delega
ton on Kauai.

recommendations that a concrete
superstructure be placed on the Ka-

managing director of the Maui Dry
Goods and Grocery Company and as

be done with the islands if the mer-
chants would only get out and get
the trade"

three Maui teams.
The visit of the Meiji team is largely
through the influence of local Japa-
