Pioneer Mil Prepares
To Cut Big Melon

The directors of Pioneer Mill Com
pany met in Honolulu on Monday and
voted to call a special meeting of
the shareholders for July 21. They
have recommended a stock dividend
of $1,000,000 and this is the proposit-
ion the shareholders will be asked to
vote on.
The directors also voted to pay an
extra dividend of one percent in addi-
ton to the regular monthly dividend
on August /.
Pioneers official estimate for the
crop of 1916 is 10000 tons. The COM
pany's capital stock is now s4,000,000,
and based on stock quotations the
plantation is worth over $10,000,000
1t is entirely out of debt, having re-
deemed all outstanding bonds last
March. This action of the directors
has been predicted for long time
On the basis of six percent sugar the
company will probably pay at least
"a percent on its enlarged capitalizat-
ion during the next eighteen months.

Water Works Systems
Show Big Increases

According to reports made by the
waterworks superintendents of both
the Wailullu-Kahului and Makawao
systems, covering collections of water
sold for the past year. the results are
highly gratifying as compared with
collections of the previous year. In
the case of both systems the increase
in collections amounts to between so
and 60 per cent. For the Wailuku
waterworks, the collections for the
year ending May 81, 1916, were $S02O.
SO, against $5182.91 for the correspond
ing period last year, or an increase of
$2S37.62 The Makawao system shows
an increase from s230S.9S for 1915, to
$3594.16 for the year ending May 81,
1916, or $1285.18.
In both systems decided improve
ment is reported in the physical con-
dition of the property. The number
of water consumers remains about
constant The supervisors have auth
orized extensions of the Makawao
system to Kokomo and to Kuau. low

MAUI HAS GASOLINE FAMINE

Maui has just had gasoline famine.
From last Friday until yesterday aft
ernoon the automobilist who had a
few gallons of the volatile energy pro
ducer hidden away somewhere, was
in luck. Gasoline was sold in Wailu-
ku and at other places for as high as
40 to so cents gallon, and then for a
time it couldn't be had for even
that figure. 1t simply wasn't here.
The Kahului Railroads supply was eX-
hausted, and nobody else had any.
The gasoline schooner Ida May reliev-
ed the situation slightly on Sunday,
with a small cargo from Honolulu
but it was not until yesterday that an
oil tanker from the coast arrived, and
really broke the famine

Hama Gets Saloon
On Second Hearing
Most Hama Voters Sign For And Again
St-NOw Has Two Booze Houses
Garcia Withdraws Application

Maui has one more saloon than she
thought she had. At the special
meeting of the liquor license board
held yesterday morning, L. Y. Aiona,
of Hama, had his license renewed. and
the east Maui metropolis again enjoys
the luxury of bar-room after fore
going that boon for 13 days. At the
same time she stills retains her
wholesale liquor house for which most
persons believed she had swapped
her saloon few weeks ago.
Aiona was refused a renewal of
his license at the regular meeting of
the board held on June 10. From the
petitions before the board at that
time, this seemed to be in accordance
with the wishes of the people of the
district, as did the granting of a new
wholesale license to J. A. Medeiros.
Aiona, who was not present at the
first meeting, asked for a reconsider.
alton of his application on the grounds
that the sentiment of the people of
Hama had not been fairly understood
The reconsideration was allowed, and
apparently Aiona was right.
Many Sign Two Petitions
More than majority of the voters
of Hama precinct signed their names
to a petition against Aiona's saloon,
and then signed another favoring it.
No small number, whose names ap-
pear on Aiona's petition, also had
letters of protest against the saloon
on file with the board. The petition
against the saloon contained 122
names of voters in the precinct of
Hama proper Aiona presented two
petitions signed by 1876 names, of
which S5 were voters in Hama pre-
cinct. The total number of register
ed voters in the precinct is only 145.
Moreover the men who thus nullified
their influence and made themselves
ridiculous by signing opposing petit
ions, are in many cases among the
leading citizens of the district
Following a canvass of the petitions
and letter of protest, d. H. Case NOV
ed that the application of Aiona be
not granted. His motion was second
ed by c. D. Lufkin, but the motion
was lost, w. +. Kaae and d. c. Lind
say voting against it, and Chairman
T. B. Lyons votoing with the negat-
ives. A motion to grant the license
then carried, Case and Lufkin oppos-
ing.
Garcia WithdraWs Petition
A. Garcia, who also applied for a
rehearing on his application for a
saloon license for Wailuku, withdrew
his application after the question of
granting it had been put, but not
voted upon. The board thereupon "a
dopted a resolution requiring that here
after requests to withdraw applicat-
ions shall be filed with the secretary
of the board before the day and hour
set for the hearing

MolOkai Chorus Is
Third Time Winner
Champion Island Singers Take Home
For Good The AthertOn Banner -
Thousands Hear Wonderful Music

Molokai has won the great inter-
island choir contest. In the presence
of a crowd of at least 1000 persons,
who packed the Hilo armory to capac-
ity, the big choir of the Halawa and
Waialua church on Thursday night
of last week won for the third success
sive time the much-coveted Kate Ath-
erton banner. The trophy is now final
ly in the possession of the splendid
aggregation of singers from Molokai,
whose work has been the wonder of
all musicians who have heard them.
The contest was decided upon
pointsby a committee of judges of
which Mrs. j. d. Lewis was chairman.
Molokai was given 81 points, the next
nearest being the choir of Haili
Church, Hilo, which received SO
points. The other choirs in the con-
test were those of Kauai, Maui and
Kona. The Kaumakapili choir of
Honolulu did not contest, having TAX
en- part in new banner contest of
the Sunday schools on the previous
Monday night, and won. This first
contest was the cause of some gener-
al misapprehension throughout the is
lands, and the impression that Oahu
had defeated Moloka1. The fact or
the matter is that the real contest was
on Thursday night, and that Molokai
for third time made a remarkable
showing and carried off first honors.
In the opinion of many who heard this
as well as previous contests, Molokai
this year surpassed even her own pre-
vious splendid work ,
A great deal of the credit for the
success of the Molokai singers is Civ
en- to David Kalaau, the talented dir
ector of the organization. He is the
teacher in the Halawa public school.
The banner which now goes to Mol
okai permanently, has been sent to
the Kalaupapa settlement for a short
period. A great amount of interest
has always been taken by the inmates
TO the settlement in the choir contests.

Good Yield OF Cane
On Pineapple Land
Experiment At Haiku Highly PrOmiS-
ing - May Restore Fertility For
Pines Railroad May Be Extended

Sugar cane culture, in connection
with pineapples, is the latest possibil-
ity for the Haiku homesteads. The
idea has been suggested before, but it
is only now that there is apparently
some real basis for the belief that it
may become a reality. Within the
past few weeks there has been harv-
ested from third of an acre of pine
apple land a fraction less than 13 tons
Demerara cane which has been
milled at the Maui Agricultural Com
panys mill at Paia. The results of
this experiment were 1 ton of sugar
for little more than 7 tons of cane,
with sucrose of II and purity of S67
The cane was grown on land of the
Haiku Fruit & Packing Company
which had previously been in pine
apples, by Manager w. A. Baldwin
without irrigation, and without proper
care throughout a portion, at least,
of its growing period. Nor was the
crop forced with nitrates or excess
of other fertilizers. NJ. Baldwin has
been experimenting for number of
years with various varieties of cane
in the Haiku district, but the Demera-
ra is the first that has given evidence
of being well adapted to the condit-
ions. The Hawaii experiment station
is also interested in the possibilities
of cane growing in the Haiku district,
and has test paintings of a number of
varieties the results of which are
likely to be valuable later.
May Extend Railroad
While it is not expected that sugar
will ever supplant pineapples in the
Haiku district, the need of some profit
able rotation crop has come to be rec
ognized and pineapple growers are in
hopes that five or six years in cane
will restore the land for pines as
well or better than permitting it to
lie fallow.
In case the homesteaders and other
land owners in the district can be in
duced to go into the cane business on
sufficient scale, it is reported that the
Kahului Railroad Company will prob
ably extend its line for another mile
or more along the lines of a previous
ly surveyed route. This extension
was projected some four years ago,
but was abandoned on account of the
financial depression at that time.

National Guard Nav
Help County Fair
Big Assembly Proposed For That Time
OF Maui'S SOldierS-COlOrS To Be
PreSented-ArmOry Popular

II present plans of Col. H. A. Bald
win and his staff are carried out, the
time of the Maui County Fair, (Nov-
ember 80, December l and q will be
the time for big exhibition by the
Third Infantry, National Guard of
Hawaii At that time Governor Pink
ham has already promised to be pres
ent, and it is believed that by that
time the Maui regiment will be IN
shape to make a splendid showing.
Col. Baldwin wrote to General John
son this week suggesting this time for
the proposed presentation of hand
some stand of regimental colors,
which have been prepared for the 3rd
Infantry by two Honolulu firms, the
Schumann Carriage Company, and
Wall & Dougherty. The first named
has had made a beautiful regimental
standard of orange and black silk,
bearing the words-"Third Regiment
of Infantry'-and the motto, Maui No
Ka Or, together with the Hawaiian
coat of arms. The flag is a beautiful
silk banner of regulation size, and Is
most richly embellished.
1t was at first planned to make the
presentation within the next few
weeks, at which time the Governor,
Brig-Gen. Johnson, and Maj James D..
Dougherty, and possibly other officers
of the brigade staff, would be present
to take part in the ceremony and to
make an inspection of the regiment.
It is entirely possible, however, that
the time may be postponed couple
of months by which time it is hoped
to have all the men uniformed and
equipped, and able to make very
creditable appearance.

Baldwin Will Guarantee
Upkeep OF Kokomo Road

The board of supervisors. at its
meeting yesterday, approved the plan
of turning over the Kokomo- Haiku
road for maintenance to w. A. Bald
win, manager of the Haiku Fruit &
Packing Company. There is some
thing over miles of this road, inclu-
ding the two branches to the main
belt road ner Pauwela, and the county
has authorized an expenditure of 800
per month for this work. The road is
a much travelled one and an expensive
one to keep up, and the supervisors
appear to believe that they have
made a good bargain.
Will Use Tractor
Mr.. Baldwin proposes doing prac-
tically all of the work with the county
road graders and the pineapple COM
pany's 80 horsepower caterpillar
tractor. This tractor was tried out
on the roads for the first time last
Saturday. and the results were high
ly satisfactory. The grader was run
from Haiku to Peahi and back in a few
hours, over an exceedingly bad road,
without the slightest difficulty. The
big engine is said to have done the
work of eight or ten teams of bullocks,
about three times as fast, and without
a hitch. So far as is known, this is
the first time that a tractor has been
used for road grading in the Islands,
though the practice is becoming quite
common in many parts of the main
land during the past few years.

Patrons Favor Old
Site For High School

Unless the board of supervisors
make objection to the location, the
new Maui high school will be located
at Hamakuapoko. This was the con-
sensus of opinion of some 40 or so
patrons of the school who met last
Friday night at the Paia Community
House and went into the matter in
considerable detail. The suggestion
of changing the site to Paia or Spreck-
elsville met with much opposition.
The new concrete building will prob
ably be erected on the same lot that
now holds the present structure.

Judge Edings Does
Not Want To Leave
Wish OF Oahu Democrats To Have Him
Succeed Judge StuartNOt TOLLS Lik-
ing-Feels Same as Before

Anybody who Suggests that a man
would leave Wailuku and go to Hon
olulu for the benefit of his health must
have something the matter with his
head, is the comment Judge Edings
made when his attention was called
to a story in a Honolulu paper to the
effect that he has asked for the place
on the bench of the first circuit court,
made vacant by the reported resign
alton of Judge Stuart. "If anything
were the matter with my health, stat
ed Judge Edings, 81 most certainly
would not go to Honolulu to improve
it,.
SO far as the Maui jurist knows or
has been advised, there is no vacancy
on the Honolulu bench, he indicated.
Nor has he lead anyone to think that
he had changed his mind during the
past year. About a year ago he was
appointed to the first circuit by the
department in Washington, to take the
place of Judge Whitney, who seemed
to have no chance of reappointment
1t was only after Judge Edings had
very emphatically expressed his de-
sire to remain in Wailuku that the ap-
pointment was withdrawn and his
wishes acceded to
Oahu Democrats Want Him
The talk of taking Judge Edings to
Honolulu comes through the efforts of
the democratic party to find a quail
fled man of their own party to take
the Honolulu vacancy. II is reported
that the bar association has been ask
ed TO endorse Edings for the place,
but thus far has taken no action.
There is little doubt that whatever in
1uence can be brought to bear by
Maui members of the bar and by citi-
zens, will be exercised to the limit to
prevent Judge Edings being removed.
