Maui Has a
Ready-Made
Legislator
Hama District Finds That Maui Will
Have One More Representative
Than Present Apportionment Pro-
vides, and is Elated Accordingly.

Under the organic act Maui is en-
titled OF six members in the house of
representatives. Kauai's apportion-
ment is four. But now the startling
discovery is made that Maui will have
seven seats in the popular assembly
during the next session of the Legis-
lature, while Kauai will have but
three. Kauai probably will deny this,
but to all intents and purposes this
will be the case.
The way it happens is this. John
w. Fassoth, who was elected in the
November elections as one of the four
Kauai representatives is the same
John Fassoth who has just purchased
with William Williamson the Kipahulu
plantation; and as he has already
taken charge on Maui he has become
citizen of this county in fact, if not
in name. While he will sit with the
Kauaiites, Maui politicians see in him
really an additional delegate from this
island.
This interesting discovery was
made this week in Hama, and mas
much as Hama district had had sew
eral candidates crowded off the board
at the last primaries, there is gen.
eral jubilation among her citizens of
their imported" representative.

ed upon. The Inter-Island steamer
Mauna Loa has been chartered. and
the party, which according to present
reports will number not less than 80,
will arrive at Kahului brigh. and early
next Saturday morning.
The event promises to be a mem
orable one in local Pythian annals,
and no pains are being spared By the
members of Aloha Lodge to make it
so for the visitors also. The program
which has been outlined for the en-
tertainment of the visitors, con en-
plates busy time from the time the
party lands until it leaves on Sunday
night. Saturday morning is to he
spent in sightseeing by autos nout
Central Maui, while in the afternoon

Plans Made
For County
Convention
Date Set For February 11-Precinct
Clubs Will Name Delegates Next
Week-DetaiIs of Platform Still
hebulouS.

February 11th is the date of the
republican county convention to frame
the party platform on which the
county candidates will be expected
to stand, and to elect the members of
the county executive committee to
serve for the next two years. AT a
meeting of the county committee on
Monday of this week, plans were made
for holding this convention and no
tees were sent out to the various pre-
cinct clubs to elect their delegates.
The precinct clubs are expected to
hold their meetings and select their
delegates sometime between the 1st
and 7th of February. Under the rules
of the party the precincts have the
right to one delegate for each fifty
votes polled at the last preceding cleo
ton. Under this rule Lahaina, Wal
luku, Puunene and Hamakuapoko
have each heretofore had four repre-
sentatives in the convention, with two
for Hama and one for each of the
other precincts.
So far as the committee has learn
ed there has been no precinct organi-
zation yet formed in the new eighth
precinct, which includes the Haiku
home stead section, and all of the 18th
precinct east of Maliko Gulch. 1t is
probable that such organization will
be made, however, and the proper re-
presentation thus secured at the con-
vention.
Presumably the delegates will all
come to the convention loaded with
instructions for local improvements,
which they will try TO have embodied
in the platform, though so far as can
at present be seen there does not seem
to be any very specific matters that
will be demanded generally, except,
of course a business-like and efficient
administration of county affairs The
convention may express itself on the
matter of the primary law, which
many feel should be amended by the
coming legislature to make the voting
at primary elections according to par
ty instead of an open ballot as at
present.

Mule
Offer Had
String to it

Chairman Sam Kalama has written
to the Chamber of Commerce letter
of protest in connection with the road
work being done in the Haiku dis
trict.
The Chamber criticized the s"pcr-
visors for not using more teams in
this work, and through a committee
advised the board that the Haiku
Fruit & Packing Company stood ready
to furnish all the mules the county
needed for this work at a cost of rs
cents per day per head. Chairman
Kalama tells the Chamber that this
offer seems to have had string to it,
inasmuch as the number of animals
which the pineapple company WAS
willing to furnish was limited to two
or three teams, and on condition that
they be used on certain road sections
specified by the company.

A letter received here this week
from James A. Reid, who was some

mia, on the 18th inst. The deceased
resided in Maui for about two years.

Ranch. Makawao, and her many

PATTERSON TO BE A BANKRUPT

w. r. Patterson, late of Kuiaha,
Maui, is to be declared bankrupt, ac-
cording to the statement made by at
torney Eugene Murphy, who returned
from Honolulu last Tuesday, after fl
ing the necessary petition and afhda-
Wits in the matter. Murphy's action
follows the granting of the writ of
mandamus by Judge Edings last week
by which the Hamakuapoko Store gets
$500 out of the 5000 over which half
a dozen of Patterson's creditors have
been fighting. Murphy declares that
the bankruptcy proceedings will de-
yelop something sensational in con-
nection with the matter.

PROMINENT FARMER
HELD FOR ASSAULT
19-year-oId Girl Accuses Him
of Attacking Her In a
Cornfield.

MARTINSBCRG. Aug. 1s.-ChargeA
with attempted assault upon Miss
Rosa Hutzler. the pretty 19.year-=!d
daughter OF Joseph c. Hutzler, a
prominent farmer. John Mason, him
self one OF the most widely known
farmers OF Black Creek valley. this
county. and for many years a neigh
Dor of the Hutzler family, was yester'
day given a hearing and held under
bond for the circuit court by Magls'
trate Thompson.
The girl, a vigorous, buxom lass,
was placed upon the stand and swore
point blank that Mason had attack
ed her while she was crossing a corn
field, under circumstances which LETT
no doubt as to his purpose. The girl
declared she fought and screamed I'M
til Mason desisted. Mason. who IS
about so years of age. and has grown
daughters. is fighting the case bitter
" and declares that it is an attempt
at blackmai. on the part Of Miss Hutz'
Ter. The cAse has created a sensa'
ton in the western section Of Berke'
ley county. where the Mason and Hutz'
Ter families have been prominent for
years.

that q veEy large percentage Of i IS
produced with machines.
Il Is also shown in the report that
the Ohio mines are netting Q price
at the mines considerably IN excess
Of the price Melted by West Virginia
mines.
Remembering also that the present
freight rates from Ohio mines to
points in Ohio are less instead Of be-
ing more than they were several years
back 1t is interesting TO note that the
production OF coal per man pc: day
in Ohio compares very favorably with
that Of West Virginia. which means
that the cost of production should
have decreased in proportion.
Cost Of Handling.
It will be seen at a glance that OH"
railroads can easily afford to haul
West Virginia coal for less money
than they can afford to haul Ohio coal
because in handling the foreign coal
they do not have to furnish the cars
nor do they have TO place them under
the ti2ples. o collect them unloadeu
nor weigh them, all OF which duties
must be performed by the road IN
Ohio.
Another argument which the Ohio
operators are failing to place before
the people OF their state is that Wes
Virginia annually spends thousands OF
dollars in Ohio on mining machinery
and a great majority Of the supplies
Of the company stores,
Attention should also be called to
the people Of Ohio to the fact that
Ohio coal enters into a cost through
other states on much the same basis
that West Virginia coal goes through
Ohio and to nearly all points outside
Ohio. Ohio coal has a rate much in
its favor as compares with West Viz.
ginia coal.
