Fair Meetings May Be
Held In Own Buildings

The question of holding future meet
ings of the Maui County Fair & Rae
ing Association at the fair
grounds instead of in the chamber of
commerce room in Wailuku, was con-
sidered this week by a special commit
tee appointed for the purpose. After
discussion it was decided to recon-
mend that the more important meet
ings be held in the associations own
buildings but that committee meetings
and more or less informal called meet
ings continue to be held in Wailuku.
The idea of the committee is that
the Wailuku quarters should not be
given up as for many purposes they
are more convenient than the Kahului
ones will be.

Plans For New High
School Building Here

Plans for the new high school build
ing, prepared by Dickey G. Wood, of
Honolulu, have been received and it
is hoped to have bids advertised for
at once so that work may be started
shortly after the first of the year. The
sketches indicate a most attractive
building of concrete, and have been
generally admired by all who have
seen them. Principal Paul Mac
Caughey believes that the building
will nicely fill the needs of the school
for some years to come. The present
frame building is to be used for work
shops and other departments of
school work.
When the new building was project
ed it was expected to cost about $780,
900, but with increased costs of ma
terials and labor some doubt is eX-
pressed as to whether or not this will
be sufficient.

Maui Makes Good
In Roosevelt Drive
Raises $4,000 Of Total $25,OOO-
Island Of Hawaii Failed Badly.
Maui's Quota Double What II
Should Have Been

The territory has made good in the
Roosevelt memorial fund drive. Ac-
cording to a wireless from Honolulu
yesterday total of $4,000 had been
collected, or $1,000 moro than had been
asked from the Islands. This include
the $4,000 allotment from Maui.
AS usual Maui made her quota not
withstanding that the amount was
about double what should have been
asked on basis of population or citi-
zenship Worth o. Aiken, chairman
of the chamber of commerce commit
tee having the matter in charge, was
called to the coast last Saturday and
William Walsh was named in his place
to finish up the work. Practically the
total amount was collected in small
amounts from individuals. The school
children raised several hundred dol
lars by nickel and dime contributions.
1t is understood that each island of
the group made it's quota except Ha-
waii which fell down badly, closing it's
lists with less than two-ffths of the
allotted $4,000 in hand.

Maui Fair Buildings
Nearing Completion

Work of completing the territorial
building at the county fair grounds is
proceeding satisfactorily. The two
side lanais which it was decided to
build as additions have about been
finished, and the rustic siding on the
outside of the building has practically
all been put on. The interior lining
has also about been finished.
1t will be close to the first of the
year, however, before the last work
is done and the building painted. Plans
are already being formulated for eel
ebrating the completion with big
reception of some kind, including a
ball to be given probably on New
Years night in connection with the
race meeting.

SOaking-In Indications Storm Is
Not Over.

The fine rainfall which began here
last evening and continued most OF
the night, is reported to have been
general over central and west Maui.
though over in the ditch country the
fall has SO far been light The weather
is still unsettled with every prospect
of more rain before clearing weather
sets in. The storm was semi-kona in
character with little or no wind.
The stolm is worth many thousands
of dollars to all of the plantations.
The long continued drought in Kula
was broken by fine downpour which
lasted good part of the night. The
rain was not heavy in the vicinity of
the Kula pipeline head and the supply
from this source has not improved
greatly

Wailuku Radio Office
Opens For Business

The naval RADIO system of the is
lands opened it's new Office in Wal
luku on Monday of this week in
charge of George B. Dewing, chief
operator who had been previously
stationed at the Lahaina station. AS
yet, however, the Wailuku office is
connected with the Lahaina station
only by telephone, the proposed tele-
graph line not yet having been in
stalled.
1t is reported that there has been
some hitch in getting a telegraph line
installed by the local telephone COM
pany but this is expected to be set
tied soon when all messages will be
transmitted between Wailuku and La
haina by telegraph instead of by
phone.
1t is also possible that instruments
Will be installed in the Wailuku
branch to enable the receiving of
radio messages direct; but it is not
contemplated establishing sending

present.

Kula Still Suffers
From Dry Weather

Continuance of dry weather through
out most of Maui is beginning to cause
concern in number of sections. In
the Kula district conditions continue
bad. At the sanitarium it is still
necessary to haul water a distance of
6 miles for domestic purposes. AL
though efforts have been made to get
more water into the Kula pipeline,
these have not resulted in relieving
the situation to any appreciable ex-
tent.
AS reported last week, construction
work on the new additions to the sani-
tarium were suspended because there
was not water sufficient for drinking
purposes of the workmen, and it was
also necessary to release some 80 of
the least i'll of the patients for the
same reason.
In Haiku district and eastern Maui
showers during the past week have
been valuable to growing crops, but
have not been sufficient to supply
much water to the bitches.

lieves that Dr. Trotter will find much
to interest him here, particularly in
connection with the anti-tuberculosis
work which has been lately interfered
with seriously by the drought in Kula
which made it necessary to release a
until the lack of drinking water is
remedied.

THE OVERSEAS FLIGHTS
ARE NOT YET FINISHED.
Weather Interferes, but 1t Seems
Certain that the Feat Will
Be Accomplished

Weather interfered with the over
seas flight Of the airplanes this week,
and as we go to press no one is re-
ported across, although it is practi-
cally certain that the NC-4 will get
away, and probably be in Portugal
before this is read. The plane of
Commander Towers was practically
wrecked by the weather and he can
go no further than the Azores, at
which place the midocean landings
were made.
There has been no loss of life up
to this time of the American flyers,
but it seems certain that the Austral-
ian, Hawker, who made leap into
the dark with small plane, has been
lost at sea.
His flight was not scheduled, but
was an independent attempt to win
fame and fortune by risky gamble
with death.
Georgians will regret that Com
mander Towers was deprived of the
honor of being the first to fly over,
but if the honor comes to the Amer
lean navy, we can rejoice in the sue
cess of Commander Read of the NC-4.

STATION
NOW IN MARIETTA

Capt. H. w. Hays, with six regular
army men, have established a recruit
ing station in army tents in the park
and will be here for about a week,
looking for men who will enlist for
terms of one and three years.
Men who have been in the service
can re-enlist for one year only, if
they wish, others are only accepted
for three year terms. The pay of a
private is $4,000 per month, food,
clothing, medical service and other
things free.
Captain Hays states that those who
wish it may be sent overseas, to re-
lieve men who want to come home,
and will thus afford active foreign
service and travel.
Any branch of the army service as
may be chosen by the applicant will
be the assignment of men enlisting.
Captain Hays and his men are anxious
to talk to anyone interested.
