Store and Residence Destroyed.

The residence, store and large
corn warehouse of G. j. Nargassans
of st. Amant, member of the police
jury from the seventh ,tard, were
destroyed by a fire of unknown orr
gin Thursday. Mr. Nargassans was
in New Orleans at the time, and
upon his return home found these
buildings in ashes. Owing to the alb
sence of telephone communication
with that section of the parish, the
Chief was unable to obtain particu-
lars of the blaze, or ascertain the
amount of the loss and the insur-
ance carried.

LAND CLEARING
ESPECIAL" HERE
SATURDAY JUNE Il

The land clearing Special viii
start this month on tour of 20 Upper
/ Wisconsin towns to demonstrate the
easier and more economical ways OF
clearing land.
Fully equipped with the most modern
land clearing machinery, such as horse
and gas power pullers and pliers, and
with 20 men who have had practical ex-
perience in land clearing, the demon
strations will show how the theory
works in practice.
This is the fifth train which the Col
lege of Agriculture has operated to
demonstrate up-to- date methods of land
clearing The only demonstration train
allowed by the federal government last
year was that run through Upper Wis
consin last fall on a similar mission
The government considered it so nee
essary to throw open the millions of
fertil. acres to food production as soon
as possible that it permitted the train
to go even in the grave hours of war.
The close of the war has hastened
the movement of new settlers to the
|cut-Over lands. Men are coming who
want to have homes of their own. They
are eager to get their land cleared as
rapidly as possible. To aid them in
making their fields profitable is the
purpose of the Especial" this year.
At all of the 20 stops which the train
will make during May and June, land
will be actually cleared that the hun
dreds of farmers may see just what
ways are the most rapid and the best.
Particular stress will be placed upon
the use of labor saving machinery.
That land clearing has been progress
ing in Wisconsin is shown by the "a
052 acres which were cleared in the
year from April 1917 to April 1918. But
considering the number of farms, how
ever, only eight-tenths of an acre was
cleared on each farm in the cut-over
region.

FIRE
WORKOF REVENGE
NOW BELIEVED

That the fire at Lahaina two weeks
ago was not only started by BURGERS,
who broke into the Sing Lung fruit
store, stole number of watches and
about So in coin, but that the crime
was committed by members of the
gang Of young bandits who robbed
the Len Wal Co., store and planned
to rob the Lahaina bank, is now the
firm belief of Sheriff Glen Crowell,
who has been working on the case
ever since.
Partial confession has been secured
from number of boys more or less
directly implicated, and the circum-
stantial evidence is all but conclusive
against two of the gang.
Indications point to the possibility
of the fire having been started as a
malicious revenge against the bank
officials against whom the hold-up
gang had plotted.
Disclosures since the fire indicate
that an exceedingly dangerous gang
of young desperadoes was broken up
when the police arrested the perpe
traitors of the Len Wal store robbery.

Plan To Hold Civic
COnventiOnAndFa
County Fair And Racing Association
Annual Meeting On 2Sth May
Settle Matter - Plan To Make
Grounds Civic Center OF Maui

Plans for holding the second Maui
County Fair next fall together with
plans for entertaining the territorial
Civic Convention which is to meet on
Maui this year, will probably be the
main topics of discussion at the an
nual meeting of the Maui County
Fair & Racing Association, to be held
on Tuesday January 2S. Notices Of
the meeting are being sent out to
members this week.
There is a strong demand, now
that the war is over, for the holding
of another fair, next fall, and for
making the fair an annual event
thereafter. If this is decided upon
definitely at the coming meeting, it
is probable that plans will also be
made for beginning work very soon
of filling in the low lands at the Ka-
hului fair grounds, rebuilding fences,
and possibly the erection of other
buildings which will for a part of the
fair ground equipment which is ulti-
mately intended, but which will not
be possible all in one year. The idea
is to develop the grounds as finances
permit, to make them suited as a
civic center for all of Maui, in which
it will be possible to hold almost any
kind of gathering, public reception,
etc.
The plans finally contemplate, be-

Bank Preparing For
Two Fine Buildings
Work To Start Soon At Lahaina And
Wailuku-POstOfice May Get Home
In New Wailuku Buildine-BOth
Fireprosf Structures

AS soon as the plans are prepared,
which is being done in Honolulu, the
erection of handsome business
building will be commenced by the
SBank of Maui, Ltd, at Lahaina to re-
place the one destroyed in the big
fire two weeks ago.
The new structure will be of con-
crete and absolutely fireproof. Be
sides providing accommodations for
the Lahaina branch of the bank, it
will also provide commodious quart
ers for the Len Wal G. Co. general
merchandise store, which occupied a
portion of the banks property before
the fire, and was one of the heaviest
losers in the conflagration.
G. d. Lufkin, manager of the bank,
has been in Honolulu all this week
making arrangements for the new
building, and also for the new bank
building which the bank is to build
at once in Wailuku. This structure,
as already reported, is to be an at
tractive concrete structure. Before
leaving for Honolulu on Monday eve
ming Mr.. Lufkin stated that the ce-
ment needed for both the Lahalna
and the Wailuku buildings had been
purchased from the Maui Agricultural
Co., and is ready for delivery.
Postoffice May Get Quarters
1t is reported that it is possible
that the Wailuku bank building may
be built with view of providing ac-
commodations also for the Wailuku
postoffice, which is looking for a new
home. 1t had been expected that the
present bank building would be avail
able for this purpose, but it is under
stood that some objection to this
plan has been raised by the Church
of the Good Shepherd, which owns
the property.
