Hama Wants Steamer
Wharf Very Soon

Before the next legislature meets,
Hama people want it understood that
they propose demanding real
wharf, or rather the extension of the
present structure to where the Clau-
dine can berth along side. This it is
claimed can be done for not to ex-
ceed $4,000.
The present wharf, which was
nearly demolished by the January
storm, has been put back into shape
by the public works department, but
it is likely to collapse should another
storm of equal severity strike it.

School Boys Are To
BuildOwn Workshop
Supervisors Authorize Structure That
Will Test Ability-Lunches Now
Being Served In Wailuku School.

The boys of the Wailuku public
school have begun work on the con-
struction of their own workshop, a
building 22x32 feet in size. The sills
were laid this week, and Vocational
Instruc ro Bowman states that prac-
tically all the work will be done by
the pupils. The county authorized
the building some time ago but delay
in getting started induced by regular
builders, suggested the work as prac-
tice for the class.
LUNCHES NOW BEING SERVED.
During the last few weeks the
Wailuku school has been serving
lunches to the children through it's
domestic science department., under
direction of Miss Kau. These lunch
es consist for example of potato salad
and bread and butter sandwiches for
nickel, while another five cents
will buy sherbet and cake.

Big Meeting Will
Discuss Fair Plan
Chamber Of Commerce Will Give Sup.
port But Wants Everybody Inter
ested - Supervisors Favor Idea.

Next Thursday will probably see
the formal launching of the Maui
County Fair proposition. At o.
clock that afternoon it is expected
that representatives of many organi-
cations, and individuals from differ
ent parts of the county, who are in
terested in the matter, will meet in
the district court room in Wailuku
and appoint an executive committee
to have general charge of the under
taking. At this time also some gen.
eral idea of the scope of the prop
osition will probably be decided up
on.
Secretary Case, of the chamber
of commerce, this week sent out let
ters to various territorial and federal
departments interested in agricult-
ure, to the homestead associations
and other farming organizations
known on Maui, to various members
of the chamber and other individuals
in different parts of the county, in
viting them to be represented at
this meeting, and to pass the word
along to others interested. These
notices were sent out in accordance
with the resolution adopted by the
chamber at its meeting held last
Saturday afternoon.
In spite of terrific downpour of
rain, the meeting last Saturday was
attended by some thirty members
and others, and while no attempt
was made to organize, it was clear
that sentiment was very strongly
in favor Of the fair idea. 1t was
thought best that the chamber avoid
any appearance of wishing to monop-
olize the undertaking, and for that
reason a general public meeting was
decided upon, and set for next Thurs
day. At this time it is hoped that
the fair may be definitely launched,
independently of the chamber,
though with it's active approval and
backing.
The secretary was also instructed
to communicate with the board of
supervisors, and as a result, that
body has given the matter favorable
consideration at it's meeting this
week.
Prof. Cloves Gives Suggestions
Prof. Fred A. Cloves, of Lahaina-
luna, but who was formerly in
charge of the Glenwood (Hawaii) sub
station of the Hawaii experiment sta
ton, and who is given the credit of
having in large measure .-,eIneered
the first Hawaii county fair to sue
cess, year ago, told of the work in
this connection, and of the success
attending it, and predicted that Maui
could do fully as well. The Hawaii
fair, Mr.. Cloves stated had been -
cessful from a financial standpoint,
in that it did not wind up in debt
and had not had to call upon any
individual or organization to should
er any financial debt. His talk was
eminently optimistic in tone, and
most encouraging to the proposed
undertaking. Success was to be ex-
pected, he indicated, through the CO.
operation Of everybody in the work.
F. F. Baldwin favored the idea, but
thought that expressions should be
had from persons outside of the
chamber, which organization should
avoid if possible. any suggestion that
the fair was not to be truly repre-
sentative one. 1t was on his motion.
that the meeting next Thursday was
decided upon.

siding near Ramsdell who cannot
possibly reach the present school
house and their parents have
taken the matter up with Miss
Ruth f. Gerhart, county super
ntendent of schools.
Under the law, where pupils
live more than three miles from
the school house the district
must either furnish school or
must transport the pupils to
some other school. Owing to
the natural conditions of the
country there it was practically
impossible to transport the
Ramsdell pupils to the school
house i'm the district.
Miss Gerhart took the matter
lup for the parents and the dis
trict and obtained the consent of
Superintendent Lukens and the
school directors of Dist. No. to
permit the children to attend the
schools i'm this city. She then
took up the matter of transpor-
tation with representatives of
the Red Collar Line.
The regular school boat only
iruns between Cosmos Landing
and this city and in order to get
these pupils they would have. to
conlinue to Ramsdell which
means an added expense. When
approached ON the subject the
Red Collar Line people did not
think il possible TO bring the
children here at the rate this
district is paying.
Miss Gerhart then took the
matter up personally with J. c..
White, general manager of the
company, and he consented to
bring the pupils here at the same
rate the others are being brought
for, twenty y-live cents per pupil
for the round trip, providing the
arrangement was satisfactory to
Superintendent Lukens and the
school board. Their consent
was obtained and the children
will be brought here, the cost of
their transportation being paid
by School District No. 30.
This solves the problem and
that district, at an expense OF
about $40 per month, is saved
the cost of providing another
school house and hiring a sec
ond teacher.
