Hama Magistrate Is Fined
For Assault And Battery

Howard E. Palakiko, district mag
istrate for the Hama district, and his
brother David Palakiko. who were be-
ing tried in the Wailuku district court
as the Maui News went to press last
Friday, on a charge of assault and
battery. were found guilty and each
fined SIS, by Judge Mckay. They
gave notice of intention to appeal the
case.
AS. before explained, the Palakiko
brothers had had a dispute with Mrs.
Kokookalani over the ownership of a
piece of land, and in the attempt to
exercise their claim they cut some
bananas on the place and used physic-
al force against the holder of the prop
erty when she attempted to prevent
them. The case has eXited a great
amount of interest in the Hama dis
trict, and good deal of feeling is said
to have resulted from the pilikia.

No 1917 County Fair
Is Again Proposed
Livestock Men Would Now Turn Efforts
To Big Honolulu Fair This Year
Big Meeting To Be Called

Again it looks as though Maui will
not have a county fair this year. At
least this appears now to be the senti-
ment of the special committee appoint
ed some weeks ago to look into the
matter of ways and means for the
next big event. This committee will
make its report to the general fair
committee at meeting to be called
on Monday, February 26, at which
time the public of Maui will also be
invited to be present to take definite
action on the matter.
II will be remembered that at the
last meeting of the general committee
held a month ago the live stock men
of the county, headed by Harold RICE
made such a strong stand against the
suggested postponement of the fair
till 1918, that it was virtually decided
to get busy with preparations for the
1917 fair at once, and a special COM
mittee was accordingly appointed to
go into the matter in detail. At a
meeting of this special committee held
last Monday afternoon, Mr.. Rice, one
OF the members, stated that in view
OF the fact that a big territorial fair
in Honolulu is proposed for next fall,
and that the Hilo county fair is to be
postponed for year on account of it,
he now favors talking similar action.
Rice, who recently returned from a
business trip to Hawaii, stated further
that the Parker Ranch is bending all
its energies towards making a success
of the territorial fair this year and he
believes the stockmen of Maui should
do the same.
Permanent Organization Advocated
At the meeting to be held week
from Monday, it is probable that
steps will be taken looking to the
forming of an association to handle
future fairs on Maui. This is the re-
commendation of the special commit
te. The report says in part:
THE principal objects of the AS
sociation shall be to unite the many
diversified interests throughout the
County with view to promoting and
developing the agricultural mechanic
al, manufacturing, educational, indust-
rials and social interests of the COM
munity in which we live; and more
particularly, in so far as concerns
farming interests, to stimulate friend
ly rivalry in the many divisions there
of such as agricultural products, horti-
culture, Horticulture, livestock, poultry.

Kona Gale Hits Maui
Handsome Damage
Rain Beneficial To Crops - Small
Graft Have Rough Time-KuIa
Potatoes Injured By Wind

For about fifteen minutes the gale
on Tuesday evening blew at the rate of
forty-siX miles per hour, according to
the self-tesistering instruments at the
Haiku sub-station of the Hawaii ex-
pertinent station. For half an hour
or more the wind did not fall below
thirty-fve miles per hour.
In spite of the severity of the breeze,
which came out of the south and was
especially severe in the Lahaina, Ko-
ma, and central Maui sections, no
single instance of very heavy damage
has been reported, though in the ag-
gregate it has. probably been costly.
The potato crop of Kula, which was
in very promising condition, is report
ed to have been very badly damaged
from the tops being whipped down by
the wind. A twenty-five-foot bridge in
the Kula section is also reported to
have been blown from its piers. {
Baldwin's Launch Damaged
Senator II. A. Baldwin's launch Alb
ers, which was at anchor at Kihei,
dragged her moorings and was piled
high upon the beach. One of the
bilge keels is reported to have been
partly torn off, and other damage
sustained The fact that the beach is
smooth and sandy at that point ac-
counts for the fact that the little craft
was not destroyed. Senator Geo. P.
Cookies fishing launch and number
of other small craft, which had been
anchored off the new fishing lodge at
Kihei managed to put to sea and
escaped the pililda of the Albers.
Rough At Lahaina
The sea was so rough at Lahaina
during Tuesday afternoon and night
that neither the Mauna Loa nor the
Mikahala were able to put their mail
ashore. The Mikahala returned the
Following day and made a landing, but
the Mauna Loa's mail was carried
through to Hawaii and is not expected
back till tonight.
Rain Was Welcome
A several weeks drought was brok-
en- by the heavy rain which accom-
panied the storm, and was generally
welcomed by agriculturists. Through
central Maui from one and half to
two inches of rain fell.
A brilliant display of lightning ac-
companied the storm on Tuesday
night, particularly in the west Maui
mountains.

Eugene Murphy Sues
Maui News For $4,000

Suit has been filled in the first
circuit court, Honolulu, by Eugene
Murphy against The Maui Publishing
Company, for $4,000 damages, ac-
cording to the Star-Bulletin. The suit
has been brought through Andrews
and Pittman. Murphy's attorney. 1t
is understood that Murphy claims he
was libeled to the amount named
through the publication in the Maui
News, last week of the facts of the
filing in the second circuit court of
certain affidavits by Kealakaa, form
er client of his, which reflect upon his
professional reputation. Murphy
says that the affidavits are false and
that the Maui News has libeled him in
mentioning the fact that they were
filed.

New Food Supply
In Gamma TuberS
Experiment Station Points To POSsi-
bilitieS Of Edible Variety-Ten
Times Yield OF Potatoes


1t has been found that the edible
Gamma can be used as a substitute for
potatoes. 1t will grow in any door
yard or garden as an ornamental plant
until you need it for food. 1t has
yielded at the United States expert
ment station here at the rate of thirty
one tons per acre, or ten times the
yield obtained from the adjoining plot
Soi potatoes. For the small farmer it
is of value as a feed for hogs and it
has been found impossible to obtain
enough of the tubers to supply the
demand of the potential hog growers.
1t is felt, however, that it's value
as a human food in case of a shortage
of food supplies by the Islands being
cut off from the mainland should re-
ceive emphasis at this time. With this
in mind the United States experiment
station has obtained a quantity of the
tubers especially for the individuals
who have door yard or garden space
available for small clump of the
edible Gamma.
! The plant grows about six feet high
and has scarlet flowers. The tubers
form at the base of the stem just be-
low the surface of the ground 1t is
expected that most of the trial lots
will be placed in Honolulu but the
station will gladly send free a trial
tuber for planting to any applicant
in the Islands as long as the supply
lasts. Application may be made in
person, by phoning 1880 or by letter.
If by letter, the character of the soil
location of the prospective planting
and name of owner of the land should
be given for purposes of record.
The edible Gamma is not a new crop,
it having been brought in from Trini-
dad by the station ten or twelve years
ago while ]. G. Smith was director. 1t
has continued to make good and as
there is now a sufficient supply of the
tubers available, it is thought desir-
able to extend its culture as a prepar-
edness measure.

Legislative Session
Begins Next Week

The teachers association of Maui
County, at recent meeting, adopted
resolutions to bring before the legis-
lature petitioning that their salaries
be generally increased in amount
commensurate with the increased cost
of living in the past few years. The
communication, it is stated, was sent
to the department of public instruct.
ton for approval.
A committee of the teachers some
time ago began the preparation of
statistics showing the increase in
various household commodities in the
Islands during the past ten years. 1t
is under stood that the Maui teachers
are acting in cooperation with teach
ers in the other parts of the territory.
