TWENTY !. WINS
ACT UALLY
WORKING

Twenty l. w. VS. headed toward
the Brawley camp OF that element of
undesirables, were met at inland yes
terday by special agents of the South
ern Pacific and their eastward jour-
ney firmly, if not gently, accelerated.
Sometime ago band of about 80
of this ilk, while seeking location
for a Hotel de Gink, blundered onto
the Indian reservation. Here they
again had the "accelerator" applied,
and by the time they had stopped
running or had time to consult map,
a troop of Baja CALIFORNIA; ap-
peared.
Sad, and even sadder, is the sequel.
Governor Cantu just happened to need
about thirty huskies about that time
to break rock for the new roadways
and other improvements round Mex
icali, and possibly to throw at his
enemies, so the soap box orators are
wrathfully, profanely and perspiring-
ly making little ones out of big
ones" near the classic little village
of Algodones-andw will continue to do
so for a year to come, because If
there is anything that Mexican
loves to do it is to watch Gringo
performing labor Of love for him.
No international complications are
anticipated because of this little in
cident.

SHERIFF MAY HAVE

lost bicycle is requested to call at
the sheriff's office and identify the

The New Post Office BUILDING

August the first saw the Benton

north side of the square. The
building is the only near freproof

OH modern plans consisting of a

and metal overhead ceiling,
All the material in the building
IS of the very best and arranged in

Company is located, with confec-
tionery, patent medicines, etc, in
the front part of the building and
prescription department i'll the
rear. In the confectionery depart
ment is a soda fountain the original
cost of which was fifteen hundred
dollars. Here and there are tables
and chairs for the use of the pa
irons, and during the summer
months these will undoubtedly
prove all exceptionally popular
attraction, with the many lights
and fans forming a sharp contrast
with the dark, sultry evening, The
proprietors expect soon to install
seven showcase counters in which

Near The mid point of the room

The building is 27 by sixty feet
and the overhead ceiling is fourteen
feet from the floor. In front is a
walk 10 by 81 feet in size, and
level with the crown of the street,
a great Improvement over the old
walk, which was narrow and was
perched about four feet above the
street.
The contractor, N. A. White,
made several fixtures that are gen.
orally bought from the factory, and
his making them saved the pro-

following letter was also sent to
Scout Commissioner Mathews:
Mr.. L. R. Mathews,
Commissioner, Maui Boy Scouts of
America,

Dear Sir:
1t is hardly necessary for me to
mention to you that the Executive
Committee of the First Maui County
Fair appreciate most highly the valu-
able assistance rendered us on the oc-
casion of our First Fair. 1t is an
understood fact that the grand sue
cess that it was is due very largely
to the excellent work done by the Boy
Scouts.
Will you please accept the accom-
panying token with the compliments
of the Executive Committee in the
hope that it may be of some benefit in
further equipping the boys.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) R. A. Wadsworth,
Chairman, First Maui County Fair

1t has not been decided just what
disposition will. be made of these
funds but it is expected that the Maui
Council, at it's annual meeting at the
Alexander House tonight will appor'
tion it between the troops participat'
ing. 1t will probably be used to secure
much needed troop equipment.

Livestock Men Keen
For Fair This Year
Fair Committee Rejects Suggestion TO
Postpone Finance Committee Re-
Harmony ReignS

Maui's second county fair will be
held this year-probably in September
or October. At least this was the
decision of the general committee OF
the first Maui county fair, held yester
day afternoon, following a successful
stampede engineered by the Maui
Swine Breeders Association.
Because of the strain incident to
making the last fair the great sue
cess it was. a good many business
mon have been inclined to favor post
poning the next fair until 1918 and
combining it with the entertainment
of the seventh annual civic conven-
ton. But the newly organized hog
association jumped on this idea before
ii could be fairly expressed. Headed
by Harold Rice, and ably backed by
F. G. Krauss, Lorrin Smith, DR.. Fitz-
gerald and a number OF other enthusi-
asts. the meeting was all but swept off
its feet. A committee of five is to be
named by President Wadsworth to
consider plans for the next fair, and
to report as soon as possible in order
that an early start may be made.
Livestock Men Oppose Delay
In arguing against deferring the
fair, the ADVOCATES declared that all
classes of livestock raisers on Maui
will lose valuable ground if one season
is allowed to pass. So earnest are
they in the matter that it was intim
ated that even if the business men in
other lines lie down on the PROPOSE
ton, the fair will be turned into a
livestock show and held anyway.
The meeting held yesterday after
noon was the first meeting of the
general committee since the fair. 1t
listened to a financial statement of
the executive committee, showing a
probable net balance of $175147 when
few outstanding bills are collected,
