Kilauea Breaks Shaft
Schedules Are Upset

The Inter-Island steamer Kilauea,
which has been substituting on the
Mauna Keas run while the latter is
on the dry-dock in Honolulu, cracked
her shaft on Monday night, just be-
fore reaching Lahaina. She made port
at Lahaina all right and on Tuesday
morning was taken in tow by the
Claudine and towed to Honolulu,
reaching there about 1880 p. m.
The Claudine, which was rushed to
the Kilauea's aid, did not have time
to unload her freight at Kahului, and
she also cut out her regular Hama
trip. She returned on Wednesday,
however, returning to Honolulu on
Thursday afternoon, one day late. The
Kinau has taken the Kilauea's place
for the present. 1t is reported that
the injured vessel may be off the run
for a number of weeks before repairs
can be made.

Cement Making TO
Be Big Industry
Enterprise Of Maui Agricultural Com
pany Promises To Make Large
Saying-DeveIOped By Maui Man

One of the exhibits at the Maui
County Fair which was surprise to
no only visitors from the other Is
lands but to most Maui people as well,
was that of the portland cement manu-
factured here on the Island by the
Maui Agricultural Company That
this product is of a superior quality,
testing higher than required in United
States government work, and that it
promises soon to replace in consider
able part imported cements, is cause
for still greater surprise. Such, how
ever is the case Moreover, at the
present time a plant is being erected
on the beach at Paia which when
completed will have a capacity of at
least one hundred barrels per day.This
plant will be in operation probably
in April or May.
Primarily the product will be used
to supercede the large amounts Of
imported cement now used on the
Alexander & Baldwin plantations on
this island, particularly in connection
with the concrete lining of the many
.niiles of irrigation bitches and tunnels.
The surplus is to be marketed, and it
is expected that it will be possible to
sell it at from twenty-five to fifty per
cent lower price than other cements of
like grade.
The cement is made from beach
sand lime and crushed lava rock The
process has been worked out by j. p.
Foster, chemist of the Maui Agricul-
tural Company, through a series of ex
periments covering a period Of several
years. 1t was Mr.. Foster also, who
first demonstrated the practicability
of making lime from the coral sand OF
the sea beach, which product has been
in use for clarifying purposes in the
Maui mills for number of years.

County Payroll Is
Again Readjusted
Ten Percent Increase Is Differently
AppOrtioned-LOw Wage Men Get
MOst-High Salaries Get None.

Because the supervisors believed
that the straight ten percent advance
in wages and salaries of all county
employees, which was granted several
months ago, was not equitable, the
board at its meeting lat Fsriday made
a readjustment of the schedule. The
new rates which are now in effect do
not swell the payroll budget. Instead
it reduces the pay Of the higher sal
aried employees and increases that of
the lower paid laborers.
The biggest increase is to the COM
mon laborers who formerly received
$1.50 per day. These, under the ten
percent raise received $1.65, but under
the latest plan will now get S1.75. In
like manner S1.75 men, who were rails
ed to $1.92R, will now receive 5000
Two-dollar men, formerly raised to
$3.50, are now getting 1925; while
$3.50, raised to SITS, still continue to
receive that amount.
Employees on salary receiving the old
basis of 800 or less per month contin-
lie to draw their ten percent increase.
But those who ireceived between 500
and $3.50, now get only five percent
raise, while from $3.50 up calls for no
raise at all.

ParOdieS Good For
Islands Says Aiken
Maui PrOmOtiOnist Back From Four
Month Trip Saw World Series And
Attended A Big Luncheon

After four months on the mainland,
w. o. Aiken, Maui member of the pro-
motion committee, accompanied by
Mrs. Aiken, returned home by the Lur-
line on Wednesday.
The Aikens enjoyed an extended
mainland trip and naturally he was
watching promotion work and what
advertising Hawaii is getting He
does not agree with some other re-
turned Honoluluans relative to bad ef-
fects of parodies on Hawaiian music
and dances, but says it is all adver
tising and is recognized as parody
stuff and so is publicity and benef-
cial.
The Aikens took their car with
them when they left. They spent six
weeks in California and motored 2900
miles. Leaving the car in Los Ange-
les they went by train to the Grand
Canyon of Arizona, Chicago, Cleve-
land, Niagara Falls, Albany, Boston,
New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia,
Washington, Knoxville, New Orleans,
Houston, San Antonio, Ell Paso and
back to the Pacific coast.
Aiken says that one of the most in
teresting and inspiring features of
his trip was a luncheon of the Mer-
chants Association of New York,
where 1900 of the prominent business
men of the nations metropolis were
present. But above this he ranks the
second game of the world series which
he attended and narrowly escaped
heart disease.
He was in San Diego on Hawaii
Day and says it was well carried out
and highly successful.
Aiken comments especially favor
able on The live Ad Clubs he found in
Los Angeles and in Cleveland, at both
of which places he attended meetings.

Visitor From Alaska
Finds Friend Here
Had Been NeighbOrs In KlOndike IL
Years Ago Neither Knew Other
Was In Hawaii

Mrs Andrew Halset, of Fairbanks,
Alaska, who is the guest of Mr.. and
Mrs. e. S. Smith, of Haiku, was pleas
antly surprised few days after her
arrival to learn of the presence in
Maui of another friend, who had been
her neighbor in the Klondike. during
the stirring gold rush twelve years
ago. This was Mrs. NJ. L. Simpson, a
teacher in the Spreckelsville school,
who was equally surprised at the un-
expected reunion. Mrs. Halset spent
several days as Mrs. Simpsons guest
in Wailuku.
The two friends first met during the
gold boom in the Klondike of 1904-5.
Mrs. Simpson had accompanied her
husband to the land of gold. and Mrs.
Halset, who had braved the northland
alone, by chance happened to be liv
ing next door to the Simpson cottage.
Mrs. Halset lost track of her friend
after Mrs. Simpson left Alaska and
did not know that she was in Hawaii
until fate once more threw them to-
gether.
Mrs. Halset is much in love with the
Islands. She plans to visit Haleakala
and other points of interest on Maui
before leaving for Hawaii to see Kill
auea. She plans to leave in a few
weeks for her home, which she will
reach by dog teams over the ice at
this season.

KOna Storm Brings
Heavy Rains To Maui

The several days of Kona weather
the later part of last week eliminated
on Saturday and Sunday in an unusu-
allyheavy downpour of rain in most
parts of Maui. lao stream was high
and in recollection of last January's
flood horror when thirteen lives were
lost, there was some uneasiness in the
Valley. The water, however, began to
subside before it was out of banks ex-
cept in a few points.
At Keanae rainfall of 5.S5 inches
fell within twenty-four hours; while
Lahaina and the leeward side of west
Maui got good drenching. The rain

Rural Credits Bill
Proposed For Hawaii
Modern Method OF Farm LOaas Dis
cussed By Haiku Farmers --
Marketing Division Endorsed

The possibility of obtaining water
from the plantation bitches was the
subject of some discussion at meet
ing of the Haiku Farmers Association
held last Saturday night It was
decided to take the matter up with the
plantation heads.
Strong expressions of confidence in
the territorial marketing division were
made, but the system of handling
produce and of making returns was
criticized. 1t was the sense of of the
meeting that the Association should
lend its strongest support in opposing
any move towards abolishing the div
ision.
The probability of bill being in
troduced in the coming legislature
establishing a system of territorial
farm loans, following somewhat the
new national rural credits law, was
discussed at length A draft of such
measure met with general approval.
It provides for revolving fund being
established by the legislature for the
purpose of 100000, which amount is
to be loaned on first mortgage secur-
ity, and these mortgages in turn to be
sold to banking houses, thus providing
further funds for further loans. In
terest to be six percent. The law would
be administered by board with power
to grant or refuse any loan. Loans
would run from five to forty years.
The bill embodies provisions of a New
Zealand law which is said to have
proved satisfactory after twenty years.
The proposed measures is said to have
passed the approval of a number of
prominent Legislators and business
men of the Territory.
