CONNECT MAUI UP

1t cannot but be admitted that Representative John Fassoh voices
just grounds for complaint in the interview which he gave to Maui News
upon his return from the mainland early this week. Maui is permit
ting a large part of its area and a considerable number of its residents
to be almost as much isolated as if they were living on another island
and such state of isolation works not alone to their disadvantage but
to the disadvantage OF residents of other sections and to the county as
a whole. He is right when he says, also, that connecting roads are a
great source of benefit to any community.
Maui, in general, takes pride in its oneness" and yet the majority
is permitting a condition which makes the residents of all one end to
be as strangers to those of the more populous districts, a condition
districts to get to Honolulu IS to Waiuku. In excuse it can be urged
that Maui needs its resources to open up passabe and traversabe roads
from pineapple fields to canneries and from town to town. True it is
that to connect up the road leading from Kipahulu to the Ditch Trail
with roads leading into Waikiki, Kahuui and l4ahaina would be a cost
y undertaking but that does not alleviate causes of complaint from the
other end of the Island.
Representative Fassoth says truly that land values in the Hama and
Kipahuu districts are kept down by absence of means of communion
ton with consequent loss to the county in taxes and retardaton Of the
development of a large area of fertile land because of lack of communi-
cation with the markets OF the Island. He is correct when he says that
business goes away from Maui houses and firms because of the lack of
communication. He touches on the cost of time and money in reaching
the county seat. Again he is right when he says that a road traversable
by automobiles and practically encirclng Maui would bring tourists by
the scores and then by the hundreds.
When comparisons IRE made between the Maui road system and
is it pleasant to compare the travelling conditions in all parts of Ha-
wall County with those here.
1t is to be expected that the subject will come up in the legislature
in the session that will open next week. Then it will develop what sup
lport. the other Legislative representatives of the county will give to the
belt road project. So far IS county funds go, the opening up of the
pineapple country with roads over which products can be hauled is with
out doubt OF great importance to production and to county revenues
but the connecting up of all Maui into one Maui is a subject which will
not down.

Under the title of "On Pleasure Bent Through Cloudland' there
appears in the current issue of Paradise of the Pacific an article written
by H. H. Yost on Haleakaa and the writer's experience there. 1t is
we'll written, illustrated in the usual style that charactenzes the maya
zine and carries in it an especial appeal to the reader. 1t is a piece of
publicity from which Maui should reap profit and Mauiites will do
well to famiIarze themselves with it.

Complaint of careessness in cutting in" by drivers on the roads
of Maui has come to Maui News from a woman driver who has twice
recently narrowly escaped having her car wrecked, When a driver
passes a car that is going at a fair rate of speed it is his obligation to
keep well to the left until he has sufficient room to swing in ahead with
safety.

If the rest of Hawaii cannot get together on a satisfactory choice
for governor it is quite possible for Maui, not now in the Territorial
committee, to come forward with a solution of the problem.

In order to make a start in furnishing transportation to schol chill
dren remote from schools it is not necessary to appropriate $4,000 the
first year nor to abandon the smaller schools at once. Even if the start
be a small one it can be made now and grow as time requires and rev
'enue permits.

Congratulations upon and thanks for its pineapple Edition" are
due to The Advertiser. The Islands second industry has never hereto
fore had the attention and publicity to which it is entitled and the res
idents OF Hawaii have not known nor have they had the opportunity to
secure readily information o. pineapple production and canning, the
magnitude of the industry nor its value to the territory. The Adverts-
es enterprise is a fitting commemoration of Pineapple Day" upon
which 1t was issued. Maui is well covered in the edition.

And now comes the word from Washington that the so called
Rehabilitation BW' cannot pass at this session of Congress. It is
claimed this will mean parthionng into homesteads of Waimanalo and
Kekaha with large consequent losses to the territory. AT that the cost
would not likely be so great a 5 a rehabilitation bill designed to rehabli-
tate only about 800 families at most.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1921-02-11

Precptating the Rehabilitation Bill" back into the legislature
may have a tendency to prohong the session somewhat but, at that, it's
hard to find a reason for a full 90 days session when so much was ac-
compEshed in the special session.

TYPHOID FEVER CAUSES DEATH
George Potter Dies at Hospital in
Ladysmith, Wis.

Word was received here Monday
morning that George Potter, we'll
known in Oakes, had passed away the
previous day at a hospital in Lady,
smith, Wis, after an illness lasting
several weeks. Typhoid fever was
given as the cause of his untimely TAX
ing away.
Mrs. j. D. Scott left Monday even
ing to attend the funeral, which was
held at 400 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter and family re-
sided in Oakes for four or five years,
the former being employed for two
years with L.. T.. Armstrong Of the
Variety store, and he spent another
two years with the laundry. They
left here a year ago last June and To-
Gated on farm which they had pur-
chased near Donald, Wis, and where
they haYe resided since that time.
Some weeks after Mr.. Potter be-
came ill it was thought advisable to
move him to Ladysmith, that he might
be placed in the hospital and receive
better care, but the hospital physician
said it was the worst thing that could
have been done as it is always dan
gerous to move patient in his con-
dition.
The youngest daughter, Gene, is
dangerously ill with typhoid fever and
double pneumonia and is not expected
to live. Relatives here are hourly ex-
pecting to hear that she has sue
cumbed. -
Mrs. Potter and three children, Mar
garet, Ralph and Gene, survive. Two
sons and daughter preceded the
father to the great beyond.
News of Mr.. Potter's death was a
severe shock to our people and the
sympathy of the community is, ex-
tended to relatives.

ENTERTAIN AT vENIsoN DINNER
MIR. and Mrs. P. j. Aasen Make Hit
With Oakes Banquet Experts

Last week we told about the great
big deer that P. j. Aasen brought
home as the result of his hunting trip
west of the river. AS soon as Pete's
prowess had gained publicity Doc
Owen wandered over to the Aasen
home, inspected the deer and cas-
ually made the remark that "if had
shot that deer I'd have given Pete
half of it," and was careful that Mr..
Aasen should hear it. This was, of
course, a more or less "gentle" hint
that Pete should do as much for doc.
Then and there Mr.. and Mrs. Aasen
decided to invite few of the Oakes
men folks over and show them what
a real feed looked like, and doc chap
pened' to be among the fortunate
guests. Lars Wold, j. E. Bunday, C..
E. Knox, NJ. E. Gale, George Wilson,
H. N. Williamson, w. R. Whitver, Fred
Sletvold and Ed Hitchcock, all of
whom have enviable regulations as
hunters, made up the remainder of the
party.
DR.. Owen, as he squared away for
his onslaught upon the defenseless
deer, thought the occasion would have
been perfect if his health hadn't been
missing on couple of cylinders, but
Bert Williamson is authority for the
statement that doc succeeded in eat
ing something more than half that
deer in spite of the fact that there
were eleven other contestants pres
ent in perfect health.
Roast venison, venison pie and all
the trimmings, such as only Mrs.
Aasen knows how to prepare, were
piled high upon the table and the
guests gorged themselves until they
were just able to thank their bene-
factors and waddle home.
The occasion was one long to be re-
membered and if Mr.. Aasen ever
again allows it to be known that he
contemplates going away on deer
hunt, a number of the boys will inn
mediately suspend all astronomical
operations until he returns. They
won't let Doc Owen catch them una
wares next time.

Christmas Buying

This is the Christmas season, which
comes but once a year. It is night
mare to some and a time of perfect
delight to others-depending upon
whether one is to be the recipient of
the gifts or merely has to pay the
bills. But it is at least as great a
pleasure to give as it is to receive.
Oakes merchants, as is their usual
custom, have laid in large stocks of
holiday goods-not as large, perhaps,
as in days of greater prosperity, but
plenty large enough for all practical
purposes. Nearly every display win
dow in town is filled with useful, at
tractive merchandise, tastily arrang-
ed, the kind you can buy in times like
the present without feeling that you
have been extravagant.
And say, folks, let's all make new
resolution right now, and stick to it.
One reason money is little on the
scarce order in Oakes is because many
people are buying away from home
It is just possible that small saving
may be made by purchasing from for
eign concerns, but even so, it is poor
policy in the long run.
Money sent away to the cities never
returns-it is gone forever-but that
spent at home helps improve Local
conditions. If every resident of this
community would begin right now to
buy everything at home, merchants
could afford to make substantial re.
ductions in price because of the in.
crease in the volume of business. This
applies to printing just as we'll as 9TH
er things.
What do you say? Shall we spend
our money at home, where me make
It? All right Garfield! 80 -

CORN CONTEST AWARDS MADE
Splendid Lunch Served by Ladies of
the Rebekah Lodge

One of the most pleasing community
gatherings held in Oakes for months
was staged by the Commercial club
in Union Temple last evening.
In order that the meeting might at
tract every member and as many 9TH
ers as possible, lunch had been de-
cided upon, because everybody. re-
gardless of race, creed or previous
condition of servitude, INDUCES in eat
ing. 1t has come to be one of the
most popular of indoor sports. But
feeds are no good unless the women
folks have hand in their preparation,
a. fact which the officials did not fail
to take into consideration, so this part
of the program was placed in the
efficient hands of the Rebekah ladies.
It was not intended that this should
be banquet, in the broadest sense of
the term, but the ladies fixed up a
lunch that made an excellent SUBJ
stitute. At any rate, we did not hear
that anybody left the table hungry.
No public meeting attains it's high
est standard of excellence without a
good speaker, and the Commercial
club officials believe in securing the
services of the best man available.
An invitation had been extended to
Will E. Holbein of Bismarck, secre-
tary of the North Dakota Good Roads
association, to address the gathering.
He came in on the 500 train shortly
after 600 o'clock, arriving just in
time to fill his engagement. Mr.. Hol-
bein is speaker Of rare ability and
knows his subject, "Good Roads" {"
thoroughly. He told of the struggles
necessary in order to obtain better
highways, how the obstacles had been
overcome one by one and gave an in
teresting outline Of what the organ
ization expects to do in the future.
The speech contained much food for
thought and was listened to atten-
lively from beginning to end.
The main reason for calling the
club together was to award the cash
prizes to the successful participants
in the recent corn contest. Albert
Larson won first prize, $250.00; Chas.
Baird second, $4,000; w. j. Shafer
third, $500; Olaf Berger fourth, S5O.-
90, and Joe Meehl fifth, $500. Each
was presented check in payment of
the amount to which he was entitled.
Those who gave 80 unsparingly of
their time and money in order that
the corn contest should be a success
are entitled to the hearty thanks Of
the entire community. Because Of
their generosity better grade of corr
and a higher yield were made possible

cessful in winning any Of the prize
money received their reward in the
realization that corn really can be
raised in this country and will be more
anxious than ever next year to ente,

one. It is only by rubbing elbows and

POWERSAGREEON
PEACE IN PACIFIC
Approval of America Given Subject
to Consummation of Yap
'S5@3 Pact With Japan
DRAFT BEFORE SENATE SOON
u. S. Delegates First to Attach Names
to Document

The new quadruple treaty to pre-
serve peace in the Pacific was formal
ly signed Tuesday by the plenipoten-
tiaries of the United States, France,
Great Britain and Japan.
The signatures were affixed in the
anteroom of the Office Of the secretary
of state. There was no formal cere-
mony and no one was present except
the .plenipotentiaries, their secretaries
and advisers.
The approval of the United States
was given subject to written under
standing with the Japanese providing
that the Acknowledgements treaty re-
garding Yap must be consummated
before the four-power arrangement is
binding. Except for this reservation,
which is expected to be erased within
few days by signature of the Yap
treaty, the new Pacific agreement now
requires only parliamentary ratifica-
tion by the various governments to
make it effective.
The American official copy of the
document now goes to the white house
for transmission by President Harding
to the senate. The new pact, it is be-
lieved, will be forwarded to the upper
house within short time.
The American reservation attached
to the treaty contained a provision
that domestic questions of the various
powers are not to be considered with
in, the scope of the treaty.
The reservation is in two parts, the
first of which declares that7the treaty
shall in no way be binding as regards
the policy of the United States to-
ward the inundated islands of the
Pacific. The text follows:
."In signing the treaty this day be-
tween the United States Of America
the British empire, France and Japan
it is declared to be the understanding
and intent Of the signatory powers:
81. That the treaty shall apply to
the mandated islands in the Pacific
ocean; provided, however, that the
making of the treaty shall not be
deemed to be an assent on the part Of
the United States. Of America to the
mandates and shall not preclude agree
ments between the United States Of
America and the mandatory powers
respectively in relation to the mandat'
ed islands.
% That the controversies to which
the second paragraph Of Article re-
fers shall not be taken to embrace
questions which according to princi
pies of international law lie exclusive
" within the domestic jurisdiction o.
the respective powers"

RED CROSS DRIVE
FOR LOCAL FUND
BEGINS TUESDAY

conference of the Red Cross Of
hcers and chairmen was held Satur-
day afternoon in the office of the sec.
rotary, Il. Hart Getzen.
The chief matter under conference
was the drive for funds to establish
the work in this community on a firm
basis. The 7. N. It's, a social organ
ization of young ladies and matrons,
and the Philathea class or the FRS.
Methodist church will conduct the
drive, and will endeavor 20 have each
merchant and professional man in
Lakeland agree to give his contribu-
tons to charity and philanthropic
work through the Lakeland chapter of
the Red Cross, there being no Asso-
ciated Charities in the city.
The Red Cross chapter will assume
the care of all local charity cases, and
IL is hoped that enough funds can be
secured to put on the public health
service, with a public health nurse
that is doing such good work in other
communities.
The proposed drive will start to-
morrow, and on its success depends
the amount of good that can be ac-
complished in this community by the
Red Cross.

TAMPA FAMILY HAD CLOSE
CALL FROM INJURY WHEN
FORD CAR TURNED OVER

Excessive speed was the cause of an
accident just before noon Sunday at
the corner Of East Orange street and
lngraham avenue that might have ter.
minated with serious injuries to al.
concerned. A family by the name of
Black, residing in Tampa, included
Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Black and two lit
tie children, also c. c. Black, d
brother. They were proceeding east
ward on Orange street enroute to
Lake Alfred, the Ford moving along
at a lively gait. There is dip in the
Pavement on Ingram avenue on the
northwest intersection with Orange
that has tendency to throw a light
car and this is just what happened to
the Ford, for as it attempted to turn
the corner at too great d rate of
speed, over it went. 1t was fortunate
for the occupants that friendly oak
was sufficiently close to the curb to
take care of the collision impact by
crushing in the fender and preventing
the Car from being turned completely
over. Had it not Leen for the tree
there might have been quite another
story to tell. Mrs. Black and the lit
tie ones who We're badly frightened
were taken to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fannin close by where il was
found that nothing more serious than
a bruise or two had been sustained
but it was some time before they re-
covered their nerve and composure
sufficiently to permit them to resume
the journey to Lake Alfred.

CHRISTIAN HEALING MISSION
CLOSED SUNDAY NIGHT

Without and emotionalism and still
carrying that atmosphere of extreme
simplicity and quietness, the Chris
tian healing mission conducted by
Henry Blandford in Lakeland during
the last two weeks, came to close in
All Saints Episcopal church on Sun
day evening. The little church was
crowded to its utmost capacity and
some We're turned away early in the
service. The missioner spoke on the
escape of Peter from the Roman
prison, using this event as the basis
of thought that in Christian healing
there is nothing that does not accord
with natural laws. After the address
there followed the laying on of hands
and the blessing of the rector, Rev
w. b. Curtis, and it was almost half
past eleven before the service came to
an end.
Mr.. Blandford will spend three or
four days il Lakeland before proceed
ing to Ocala where he begins a mis-
sion next Sunday night
Prayer circles will be organized in
Lakeland to continue the work so
well commenced and next Sunday
night the service at All Saints will be
in the nature of Christian healing
service.
