Much Improvement
In Wailuku Orpheum

Maui moving picture fans have
noted a considerable change in the
Wailuku Orpheum during the last two
weeks and the thearer has also no.
tced an increase in the number of
patrons. Both of the above are the
natural results of a general cleanup
and Improvement policy inaugurated
by Manager Ross since his recent re-
taking over of the management of the
Maui Amusement Company. The
theater has been repalnted and disin-
fected throughout, seats have been re-
paired, all of which is very welcome
to local theater goers. That the new
orchestra is appreciated goes without
saying. Manager Ross has also Sc
cured the services OF a new operator
in the person of Peter Ledward, who
is considered the best on the island
in his, line.

Maui May Be In
Luck After All
Hawaiian Band Will Probably Come
To Convention If Expenses Paid
Vacation Not To Interfere.

It's never so bad hut that ii might
be worse. Last week Maui was
mourning the fact that through a gov
ernment edict the Royal Hawaiian
band would mot pay a visit to the
Valley Isle during Fair Week early in
October The board of supervisors
however have a different opinion on
this matter, and al their meeting
Tuesday night decided that there was
no reason why the band should not
make the trip to Maui, providing the
expenses were paid by the civic con-
ventiOn entertainment committee. Pa
Chico wanted to know why the band
members should have a months va
cation when all other municipal EN-
Dloyes received only Two weeks. The
band is to get a vacation, but the
Honolulu supervisors 'or once are sid
ing with Maui, and will see to it that
the vacation does not interfere with
the success of the convention.

players to get busy and do some hard
practice.

In order to give Maui a chance to
have plenty of visitors to the fair in
October, an announcement has been
made by the Inter-Island Steamship

passengers from Honolulu to Maui, or
one and a half times the one way fare.

Several Improvement Inaugurated

Lieutenant Laird, District Radio
Material officer, accompanied by NJ.
A. Mulrony, expert civilian radio aid
for the 14th Naval District, visited
Maui early this week on investigation
work.
Several changes, all to the better
have been inaugurated, in the radio
service, the most striking being that
all messages between Inter-sland
points will show the exact time mes.
sage is filed by sender.
While here the officer rigged up his
radio apparatus at one of the local
hotels. To show that the radio sta
tion was no joke the Lieutenant cut
in on Japan. then Pearl Harbor, Sar
Francisco and San Diego. Early Mon
day evening he was tusily engaged in
receiving messages.
A bill before Congress at the pres
ent time provides for radio station
at Wailuku. Much will depend upor
the report of the expert regarding the
static conditions of Wailuku and gen
eral radio conditions. Should per
manent station be established here il
is not unlikely that the station at La
haina will be dismantled.

Wild Pig Killed
In Waikapu Valley

A 397 avoirdupois black and white
wild pig, the possessor of tusks 8
inches long, was shot and killed last
Tuesday in the deep recesses of Wal
kapu Valley, by William Viela, Aki
Wo Swoong and Humehume.
After tracking the monster night
and days the hunter and com
panion finally cornered their game in
cave. The boer showed fight but a
couple of shots on the forehead set
tied the issue.
Many are the tales told concerning
this one particular pig, which, during
the past three years uas roamed about
in the Waikapu Valley. Pursued time
and time again during this period the
boer displayed a very elusive nature.
Hence it is that William Viela, Aki
Wo Swoong and Hu1uehume can well
be proud of their prowess in running
to earth the wild pigsof Waikapu Val
ley.

Dangerous Fire
Narrowly Averted

Fire broke out in the yard of the
Bailey Building, opposite the Maui
hotel last Saturday morning at 10 a.
m. and We're it not for the prompt
work of the Fire Department the en-
tire block would probably have gone
up in suIol e.
The fire which had its origin in a
rubbish heap spreading rapidly to the
little tool house nearby. A garden
hose owned by Mr.. Vetlesen was
powerless to stay the flames but as
soon as the engine directed its steam
on the conilagration the fire was ex-
tinguished.
A cigarette carelcssly tossed, or
children playing with matches are
theories advanced for the cause.
