In the final analysis of any movement social business otherwise the public is the final judge and jury Public opinion is the of both first last in tho matter of laws books dress, merchandising and world is republican today So when the Bisbee mercb undertake close their o'clock Sat urday it is thing the public the master, the buyer and the patron, must in the end decide. If the public will buy all its goods before six o'clock then the clerks merchants enjoy Saturday night recreatons along with the of the workers If the public is selfish and wishes put off its shopping to the last then the six o'clock closing is failure The Review believes firmly that the public is generally generous kind h spite of faults that the six o'clock Saturday clos ing has come to the district to stay.

WA|LUKU COMPANY
. GREATLY IMPROVES
its MILL ANDLAND
Plantation Enlarges Mill Better
irrigation System and Aug
ments IN Other Ways

wAILUKU, September 2s- Despite
the diseouragements incident 10 the
drought, which is proving serious
blow to most Maui plantations, Mana.
ger II. B. Penhallow, Of the Waikiki
Sugar Company, has planned and is
carrying out numerous, important be-,
tween season improvements at the
mill, along the irrigation bitches and
in camp schemes, reports the Maais
News. The innovations are, in most
cases, safeguards against eyentualities,
as well as being in the nature Of i'm
proyements Of permanent value.
Addition TO Mil - .... :
The most conspicuous improvement
tand one Of the most important, per
haps) is TO be noted at the mill, where
a thirty foot section Is Being added to
the storage space, making the sugar
warehouse 237 by eighty feet in d.
mensions In this space can be stored
5000 tons Of sugar, and by adding the
railroad alley the capacity. will be in.
creased to II 900 tons. In order to
get the length of 237 feet In the pres
ent storeroom the Hersey drier, which
out, as well as other impedimenta. 1t
is the intention, also, to shift the con.
veyor so that in place of running
lengthwise of the old storeroom ID will
be set on an advantageous angle. One
Of the railway sidings will be shifted
to the left and relaid outside of the
new section Of the sugar house.
The Importance of this increase in
taTo rahn al NIL "a
when one thinks of the probable short
age in sugaF,carrying steamers on the
Pacific in the near future, and certainly
before the war ends. The enlarged ia.
cilities for storing will render the Wal
luku mill reasonably safe in this re-
gard should the worst come.
In the mill yard on the Office side
garage will be erected for trucks,
caterpillars, etc. This will be an i'm
proyement long needed, as well as n
Recognized necessity.
In the carpenter shop betting and
other motive appliances will be set
under the floor, in place of above, in
creasing the convenience of things by
the removal of such distractions.
Many Minor improvements
In addition thousand and one
minor Improvements = although i'm
portant in the aggregate--are being
made, many men being at work daily
upon them; and when the season for
grinding comes around again every
part of the mill win be up to it's high
est state of efficiency.
Irrigation System Enlarged p.
One Of the most notable e improve.
ments to the irrigation system is to
be noted in the substitution of rein
forced concrete fumes across streams
and storm made gulches, these taking
the places of the wooden structures
of by gone days. These fumes are
supported by concrete foundations and
may be regarded as permanent.
As a whole, the improvements will
represent a considerable outlay and
great deal of hard work, but it is
already apparent that it all will be
fully justified by the requirements Of
the future.

maui SHOWERS HELP %,
BUT NOT SUFFICIENT

WAHUKU, September 2s-During
the week there have been both day and
night showers on the mountains Of
Maui, and night showers on quite n
few sections Of the lower lands. In the
Haiku homestead region light rains
have fallen ever night, while in Wal
luku and towards Waihee there was a
refreshing shower about $3.50 last
night. There has not been sufficient
precipitation on any part of tillable
areas, however, to even temporarily
satisfy, although in all sections favor
ed the showers have been of benefit.
Lahaina and neighborhood have had no
rain whatever.
The situation on Maui is still very
bad, although the showers of the week
have revived hopes that good rains are
now at hand.

INCREASES
ITS WATER SUPPLY
Plantation At Lahaina Reported
To Have Suffered Less Than
Other Maui Fields

WAILUKU, September 28-While all
Maui is suffering more or less from the
unprecedented long spell of drought, the
damaging effects of it are less in evi.
dence on the Pioneer Plantation, La
haina, than anywhere else. Travellers
through Lahaina are surprised at the
fresh and green look of the waving
caneflelds. The secret lies in the fact
that Lahaina il better supplied with
mountain water than any other place
ON Maui. And when the Honokowa
tunnel Is completed, water viii be still
more plentiful and greatly increase the
supply for irrigation purposes. IL
The main tunnel will be a mile and
half long with capacity of 10000
900 gallons of water. The purpose of
this tunnel, whichyi il is expected, will
be completed in about year, is to
secure all the fTeshet water available
that heretofore under heavy rainfalls
has gone TO waste. p A branch tunnel
thousand feet in length, with Gu,
pacity of 25,000,000 gallons, will carry
part of the flow to the main tunnel.
Other important construction work
for the increase Of the water supply has
recently been completed or is now in
progress. A metal hume a mile and a
half long has been made into con
crete ditch with capacity of 25,0OO,'
900 gallons daily flow. All wooden
bridges over the main bitches are being
replaced with concrete structures. Two
Of these, one measuring thirty-two feet,
fifty feet high, and one 800 feet long,
thrty.Gve feet high, it is expected will
also soon be replaced by concrete
bridges.

Governor Bickett Monday granted
-conditionaI pardon to Charles A. Carl
son, of New Jersey, ,convicted here in
January 1915 Of obtaining money un-
der false pretense and sentenced to
Eve years in State prison. The pardon
is conditioned upon the defendants
paying to ms. David p. Fuller, widow
of DIR. David J. Fuller against whom
the alleged pretense was perpetuated
$4,000 by wayof reimbursement
Explaining tie communication in the
Raleigh News & Observer. Governor
Bickett said: @
~Charles As Carlson was convicted
of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses from DR.. David J. Fuller. The
alleged false pretense occurred in con-
nection with some business deals be-
tween DR.. Fuller and the defendant in
the construction of street railway in
the town of Hendersonvilie. Techni-
cally, the evidence was sufficient to
warrant the verdict of the jury, but a
careful consideration of the case con-
vfnces me that the defendant is not d
criminal, and that it would not be to
the interest of society or the defendant
himself for him to serve term in
prison. DR.. Fuller is now dead leav-
ing a widow and two children without
means of support. The defendant is
without means, but is man of large
constructive talents and has entered
into an agreement with Mrs. Fuller to
reimburse her to the amount of $4,000
on account of the losses sustained by
her husband. and has practically SEN
tenced himself to hard labor for
term of three years in theemploy of a
large manufacturing company, which
has agreedto pay to Mrs. Fuller $4,000
in cash, an tlse caid Carlson further
executes to the agent of Mrs. Fuller
three notes nthe sum of $4,000 each,
payable in one, two and three years
after date. and secured by an assign
ment by said Carlson of an interest
equal to one-third of the net profits

SCHOOLS
Rev. T. E. Simpson Of Presbyterian
Church Spoke on Ctty's Need of
Better Schools and Facilities.
SECOND PASTOR TO TALK.

The people of Hendersonville were
again reminded of the needs of their
public school when, last Sunday night,
Rev T. E.. Simpson announced from
the pulpit of the Methodist church taht
he had been informed by the school
officials that either more money must
be provided for the maintenance and
extension of the public school facili-
ties or else retrenchment of present
facilities must soon follow. He said a
step backwards in education was, in
its detrimental effects, next to a step
backwards in the church and that we
may as well speak of 1essening church
activities as to speak of the possibility
Of abandoning our high school. Mr..
Simpson said he did not believe in the
popular idea that men oppose any
thing which involves an incrense
taxation. ''The. proper training OF
their children is more precious to them
than money" he said.
Mr.. Simpson spoke for about five
minutes at the union service held at
the Methodist church Sunday =
This is the second time within the
past month that minister has fer
ventIy urged from the pulpit that the
taxpayers provide more adequately
for the training of the children of the
town. The ministers realize that the
enlightened and trained mind is more
susceptible to the Christian influence;
also, their business is to battle for tho
making of useful men and women
we should all rally to the support
