The present one is the second series

The Makawao organization is COM

Sale OfGrand Hotel
Confirmed By Court
Appeal To Supreme Court May Hold
Up Plans For FurtuIe-UnSecured
Creditors Likely To Get Little
Stockholders Lose All Invested

The commissioners sale of the
property of the Grand Hotel Co., Ltd,
on August 10, was confirmed by Judge
hurr. of the second circuit court, on
Monday of this week. The hotel was
ought by c. d. Lufkin, trustee for
the holders of the first mortgage
against the property, at his bid of
.S25,OO0.
For the reason that an appeal was
noted from the ruling of Judge Burr
on the motion of f.. G.. Peters repre-
Scnting certain unsecured creditors,
the status of the hotel is not yet alb
solutely settled but may have to wait
until the matter has been reviewed by
the supreme court.
In the meantime the hotel is being
'perated by the purchasers with the
same management and with no
change from what has been in effect
heretofore. 1t is possible that the
company will later be reorganized or
local people.
Unless the supreme court should
set aside the sale, the bankruptcy
court, into which the company was
thrown through a technical insolvency
on the insistance of certain unsecur-
ed creditors represented by Attorney
T.. c. Peters, of Honolulu, will have
only about $4,000 to distribute among
the various claimants. This may be
increased somewhat by the collection

tiOnS-CriticizeS Work, Location
OF Roads, And Handling Labor

Following is the report in full of
the chamber of commerce committee
on the condition of the roads in the
Kula district, made at the meeting of
the chamber held last week. The re-
port has excited considerable COM
ment, and is of interest to residents
of Maui generally:
At the June meeting of the Maui
Chamber of Commerce the following
committee was appointed to investi-
gate and report to the Chamber the
condition of the Kula roads: r. A.
Wadsworth, chairman; George Copp,
r. A. Drummond, J. B. Thomson and
r. b. Dodge.
On July 18th the entire committee
spent the day in Kula and went over
the roads nearly as far as Edgar
Mortons house in Kamaoli, and back
over the upper homestead road to the
Waiakoa and Pulehu branch roads.
The committee recommends that
the improvements as outlined in the
following paragraphs are absolutely
necessary and should be attended to
at once:
A heavy guard rail should be plac-
ed on the side of the road nearest the
gulch on both the east and the west
sides of Keahuaiwi Gulch. Here the
old fill and culvert have been washed
out, the road turns abruptly and yet

HAMA HAS PLENTY OF FISH
BUT HARD TO LAND SAYS BURR

Judge Burr and Assessor Kunewa
arrived home last Sunday from a trip
to Hama, by way of the ditch trail
They made the return trip on foot
and except for little too much rain
enjoyed the experience and the seen
cry. While in Hama Judge Burr tried
out the angling in nearby waters, but
without great success. He did land
a fair sized mahimahi, but a number
of big ulua hooked were lost among
the rocks. There are plenty of ulua
about Hama, Judge Burr believes, but
the ro ky bottom makes the landing
of them an uncertain proposition.

Few False Scales
Found In County

Frank C. Sylvia, of the sheriff's
office, has completed a several weeks
trip through the county making an
inspection of weights and measures.
His trip included visit to Molokai,
end Hama.
Although it has been over two years
since a similar inspection was made,
a surprisingly small number of bad
scales and measures were found, ana
these werc confiscated and sent to
the sheriff's office where they will be
destroyed. Officer Sylvia states thar
he found little evidence of intention
to defraud by use of crooked scales,
the ones he found for most part be
ing wrong without the knowledge or
the storekeepers owning them.

All Hawaii is now dry" 1t is true
that a considerable number of those
who are wise like the ant or the lit
tie busy bee have provided for their
personal needs against the drought
for some time to come. But even
these stocks will not last for ever,
and their possessors will have to eX-

keep out of Uncle Sans clutches, for
they are not permitted legally to even
give a single drink to suffering
friend.
The Sheppard Act went into effect
at midnight Tuesday. 1t makes it I'M
lawful to import, export, transport,

Big Motor Ships To
Take Islands Sugar

The first of 4 big Danish motor
ships chartered by the U. S. shipping
board to help move the sugar crop Oh
the Islands, was recently in Kahului
harbor taking on a big cargo of Maui
sugar. The vessels are each of about
5000 tons burden, and the one to visit
Maui excited considerable interest as
she is the first vessel of the type to
visit here The absence of funnel or
tunnels on so large a vessel gave her
singular appearance that attracted
general remark.

of intention TO appeal the case was

of ill-feeling between the two families

Maui's Action Weak
SaysRaymondBrown
Honolulu Chamber OF Commerce Sec
retary Thinks Maui Should Gone
Ahead With Convention Despite
Opinions OF Other Organizations

Notwithstanding the fact that all of
the civic organizations of the terri
toy except the three in Honolulu Of
which he is prominently connected
were strongly opposed to the holding
of the civic convention this yelr, Ray
mond c. Brown, secretary of the H0-
nolulu chamber of commerce feels
that \ great mistake was made when
the Maui chamber Of commerce last
week deferred to these opinions and
voted to defer the gathering.
After learning from the Star-Bulle-
tin of the unfavorable action ofs the
Maui body r. C. Brown, is quoted as
saying:
"The Honolulu chamber of COM
mcrce were strongly in favor Of hold
ing the civic convention as usual this
year. Business affairs must go on as
usual even if we are at war. There
were a number of very important
ponts that were to be brought up a,
the convention this year and later
presented to the legislature Now
when the legislature meets we will
have nothing to say to them. More
over, il will be very difficult to pick
up the threads next year with
this important convention having been
omitted 1t is like a missing link.
Last year it was voted by every
civic body to hold convention this
year. 1t seems rather weak of the
Maui chamber to insist on recanvass-
ing all the outstanding civic organiza-
tions. 10 not think we will do any
thing about it now"
