Daniel Quill Back

Country Crazy And Wage Scale

Dan Quill, of the Hawaiian CONNER

spent at his old home in Boston. He
left the Hub on December 5, in a zero
temperature, and sunny Hawaii GER

when Diamond Head disclosed itself
to his eyes last week.
Mr.. Quill was in Boston during the
notorious disorders which followed the
walk-out of the Boston police force.
He says that the reports sent out about
that disgrace have not been adequate
to describe the real condition. With
the city in the hands of the scum
element for several days, he declares
that acts of lawlessness and license
were committed that would not have
been believed possible in any Ameri.
can community.

Soda Water Goes Up
With Sugar Increase

Soda water on Maui is to do it's
share towards keeping up the high
cost of living. Instead of paying
cents a bottle as in the past, it will
henceforth cost probably or cents,
or maybe two bottles for Is cents.
This is the import of an announce
ment made this week by the Maui
Soda & Ice Works, Limited, in which
the price per case is raised from 80
cents to $120 The price in Honolulu
was raised several weeks ago to S1.25
per case, and presumably the Wailuku
Soda Works will follow suit with a
higher price announcement.
r. A. Wadsworth, manager of the
Maui company, stated in connection
with the announcement, that the re
cent rise in the price of sugar made
it impossible for soda makers 10 pro

Delay In Arrival Of Vault Mach

If the condition of the banks of a
community reflect the condition of the

statement of the Bank of Maui, Ltd,
as of December 81, would seem to
show that Maui has enjoyed a good
share of prosperity during the past
year.
Comparing the statement just issued
with that of year ago, the total re-
sources of S1,570,603 show an increase
of more than $35O,OOO during the year.
Surplus accounts, reserves, and un-
divided profits are shown as amount
ing to $33,7O0 or about $1,000 more
than a year ago. while deposits have
increased $344,000.

GEORGE" FIREHORSE,
DIES IN HARNESS

True to all the traditions of a fire
horse, George Blackwell did his duty.
George was a s%trapping specimen of
the most magnificent dapple gray type.
With John Foley he was the last team
on active service with the Memphis fire
department.
Friday night George and John Foley
dashed out Madison avenue from CEN
trial headquarters on a run. The alarm
was turned in from a place on Piomingo
avenue, The pair of grays, under the
hand of Johnny Sheehan, drew the
that long has given a romantic touch
to a fire run.
Right up in front of the house from
which smoke was issuing, George and
John Foley hauled their wagon. Then
With a nicker and gasp George
Blackwell slowly sank to the asphalt
street. He died with harness on at the
scene Of a fire. Capt, Haggerty and
Driver Sheehan had not time enough to
remove the trappings before the animal
stretched his neck in a death jerk
Saturday John Foley stamped in his
stall, nickering an occasional call for
a stablemate gone to the reward that
had made runs with him for three
years. Originally there were three of
the grays which were stationed at the
Poplar venue fire house. the third
was John Smiddy, recently sold TO
make way for the recently installed
motor apparatus. The dapples were
purchased during Mayor Ashcroft's
term and George Blackwell was named
for the fire and police commissioner of
that period.
A motor chemical wagon shortly will
replace the one drawn by George and
his equine pal.
The blaze on Piomingo was trivial,
proving only a smoke alarm.
