Scenery of Islands
AwakenS Enthusiasm

L. H. Dangerfeld, head of the
weather bureau of the Islands who
made a tour of inspection of Maui, Mo-
lokai and Lanai last month is en-
thusiastic on the subject of the
beauties of the Islands. Writing to
the Editor of Maui News he says in
part:
my trip through the three islands
Maui, Lanai, and Molokai-was a
wonderful experience, full of real ben
eft to the service and myself in the
fund of information acquired. The
varying beauty and grandeur of the
isalnds and the kindness and hospital
ity of the people were most impress
i've.
From a scenic standpoint, the wild,
rugged mountains and gulches of
West Maui, the gigantic, desolate
crater of Haleakala and the view
from the rim, the gulches between
Kaupo and Kipahulu, the East Maui
Ditch Trail, the verdant plateau and
bird forests of Lanai, the super-palis
and gulches of windward Molokai, and
the beach of Papohaku bay, Molokai,
stand forth as monuments"

Before Tuesday night his force had re-
moved all equipment from the Clau-
dine dock and had started work be-
fore evening.
Speaking of the contract for the
plant Mr.. Young said on Tuesday
evening that it included the putting
up of one new oil tank and the moving
of the five that are now there. In
building construction there will be. a
warehouse, the largest structure OF
the group, a fine Office building, shop
pump house, garage filling rack and
wash rack. Such buildings will be of
concrete foundations ard frame super.
structure.
Other work connected with the in
stalling of the plant includes the lay
ing of sewers, putting up of a septic
tank and large amount of concrete
roads which will result, in the paving
of practically the whole of the yard.
Mr.. Young returned to Honolulu
Wednesday evening.

PART OF ARMY AT
FAIR Is ASSURED
Officer Expected Here To Look Over
Grounds and See What Is Needed;
Other Departments Found In Fine
State of Readiness.

Definite assurance that the Army
will send a troop of the 18th Cavalry
which will include a monkey drill
squad other fancy riders, airplanes
and aviators and military band was
reported by Director Harold w. Rice
t. the executive committee at its
meeting in the Territorial Building
yesterday morning. Such participa-
ton assures a splendid program the
first day anu evenirit Of the Fair and
will add interest to the program of
the other~two days as we'll An officer
is expected over the first of next week
to see what is required and to COM
plete the final arrangements.
Preparations Nearly Complete
AS chairman after chairman made
mis- report at the committee meeting
it was evident that a highly satisfac-
tory state of preparedness exists. The
building for the housing of the floral
exhibits will be ready carly next week
and once more Chairman Lindsay asks
prospective exhibitors to get to work
in preparation of displays. He has
been through Kula and Hamakuapoko
and has large and fine exhibits lined
up from those sections and will visit
other sections of Maui this week.
Entries for the horse races, DR..
Fitzgerald announced, will close next
Wednesday The program for the
three days of racing appears in this
issue of Maui News.
A change in arrangements for the
sale of box seats is announced by
Joe Oliveira, chairman of the admis-
sions committee, for it has been found
impracticable to have them on sale in
two places so they will be sold in Ka-
hului only, the sale opening on Mon
day.
Hlo Team Not Needed
The question of possible failure of
Hilo to send ball nine was discussed
and it appeared to make little differ
ence whether ii does or not for a
strong team of Army players is most
anxious to come and will be sub
stituted for Hilo if the Big Island play
ers and management fail to settle
their differences.
Some changes may be made in the
program for the second evening pro-
gram and determination on that points
and word as to just what special even
ing features the Japanese will offer on
the closing evening are all that held
back the publication of a completed
program today.
School Judges Named
One of the busiest committees is
that in charge of the school exhibits,
H. NJ. Wells, Chairman. That commit
tee issued it's regulations and suggest
ions the first of this week and they are
published in another column. Mr..
Wells announced yesterday that the
judges will be Kenneth c. Bryan, prin-
cipal of the Territorial Trades School,
Mrs. Nina L. d. Fraser, principal of
Kaiulani School, and Miss Myra w.
Angus, principal of Pohukaina School,
all of Honolulu.
So favorable reports were rendered
from committee after committee and
at its close Director Rice said the
meeting would adjourn subject to his
call as he might want his associates
before next Thursday morning when
a meeting would have been regularly
held.
