Two Championships
May Be WonSunday
Both Senior And Junior Leagues TO
Play Last Games s-Puunene Drops
Out And FOrfeitS Chance For Pen
Poor Crowd Sunday

The Puunene ball team. weakened
by the loss of most of its best players
through the draft, has dropped out OF
the race. 1t did not put in an appear
ance last Sunday when scheduled to
meet the Wailuku team, and thus
forfeited the game. This leaves Wal
luku and Paia tied for the champion
ship, and next Sundays game will
settle the question.
The Junior game last Sunday was
the first game of the Junior champion
shin series, and was won by the Or
ientals from the Cubs by score of
A to l. If the Orientals can repeat
the performance next Sunday they
will have won the honor of junior
champions
Because of two championship games
being scheduled for the same day,
there is considerable interest among
the fans, and there should be big
attendance on Sunday.
The attendance last Sunday was as
disappointing as usual, though the
game between the Orientals and the
Cubs was a good one and well worth

Government TONeed
All Lumber Supply
Present Stock On Maui May Be Hard
To Replace From Coast Is
DiSquieting To Builders - Good
Supply Now

Maui people who are contemplating
building in the near future are likely
to be disappointed unless they are
prompt in getting their supply of
lumber needed. This is gathered
from statements made by the Merch-
andise Department of the Kahului
Railroad bearing upon the lumber
situation.
According to mail advices from the
coast under date of July 10, the lum-
Der situation is growing more tense
daily, on account of governmental
regulation. In fact it is stated that
the government is considering COM
Wandering the entire lumber supply
of the Pacific Coast for an indefinite
period in order that government
works may be sure of adequate sup
plies to draw from.
If such a step is taken it will make
t almost impossible to secure lum-
Der for commercial purposes, particul-
arly of clear and select grades. The
arrival of several cargoes of lumber
recently has brought a good surplus
o Maui, which is being sold on basis
of former contracts, and said to be
considerable lower than in Honolulu
or other parts of the territory. But
when the present stock is depleted
the railroad people refuse to predict
when it can be replaced

Grand Hotel To Be
Sold On August 10
Bankruptcy Decision Clears Situation
Sale Will Clear First Mortgage
Unsecured Claims To Get Any
Residue - No Prospective Buyer

The Grand Hotel of Wailuku is to
be sold at a commissioner sale on
Saturday. August TO- at the front door
of the Wailuku court house. The sale
will be made under a decree of the
2nd circuit court made over a year
ago to satisfy first mortgage of some
100000 held by c. D. Lufkin, trustee.
The sale was held up owing to the
petition of unsecured creditors to
have the Grand Hotel Co., Ltd, de-
clared bankrupt The decision of
Judge PoindeXter, of the U. S. district
court last week declaring the company
a bankrupt has now made it possible
to proceed with the settling up of the
hotels tangle
Judge PoindeXter's decision does
not affect the validity of the first
mortgage on the property, which is
held by the First National Bank of
WailulIu, H. Streubeck, and others.
The second mortgage for 100000 held
by a number of the stockholders, is
however, declared by the federal
court invalid as a secured claim, and
must take it's chances with other Jln-
secured claimants.
Under an order of Judge Burr, of
the End circuit court, made on We'd
nesday of this week, the former order

whose appointment from Washington
was announced 2 weeks ago.
The board yesterday afternoon me,
and reorgarized with w. f. Kaae as
chairman and w. II. Field as secre-
tary. 1t has the work well in hand
and is preparing to take up the de-
tails of registering the young men

Wednesday.
Announcement by Wireless frorr
Honolulu yesterday that 1000 more
men will be needed from the territor-
ial draft lists to fill the guard regi-
ments on Oahu to full strength, VIII
probably mean that but a portion of
Maui's Glass l men still remaining
will be needed. There are still 227
men in this class, and as M9ui's re-
cord for disqualification has been very
low, it is stated that there is little
likelihood that it will be necessary to
take any men of Glass 2.
Reports from Honolulu show that
OF 504 Maui draftees examined, bur
so failed to pass the tests Also there
are but II of the men drafted from
Maui who have left Maui for Honoiu-
lu, and have not yet been located by

held oftener than every years. The
matter was laid over till the next

Horse Day Too Soon
Circuit Court Holds Snifin Must Pay
SIS As Value OF Animal-Law On
Counting Time Not Clear

In rather lengthy opinion handed
down by Judge L. L. Burr, of the sec
ond circuit court, this week, in the
case of Manuel S. Santos VS.. Sam
Sniffin, on appeal of the plaintiff
from the Makawao district court (Guy
5. Goodness, magistrate) the decision
of the magistrate is reversed and
Judgment for damages in sum of SIS
is awarded the plaintiff
The case involves the sale of a
horse by Snifin, who was poundmast-
er at the time, the animal in question
having been impounded and sold as
unclaimed property by the pounCmast-
er. The case hinged OF the time of
the sale, the plaintiff claiming that
the sale had taken place before the
expiration of the 12-day period of ad-
vertising as required by law. By
counting the first day of the advertis-
ing the sale would have been proper,
but the court held that the first day
could not be counted and without this
the sale was made within the u day
period.
The plaintiff was represented in
the case by Enos Vincent, while Coun-
ty Attorney Bevins represented the
poundmaster. There is a possibility
that the case may be taken to the
supreme court in order to settle def
initely the matter of counting time in
such matters, and the suggestion was
also made by the court that the
legislature should make the act more
specific
Sniffin sold the horse in question
for $33.

AT KAHULUI HARBGR

The big drege of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company was brought over
to Kahului last Saturday by a govern
ment vessel, and is now engaged in
cleaning out the harbor entrance to
a 700-foot width. For this work the
federal government recently made

for an appropriation to widen the
harbor to 900 feet.
The big dredge also will dredge out
the part of the harbor adjacent the
Claudine wharf under contract with
the territory, at the company's bid of
so cents per cubic yard.
