Grounds at Kahului
Being Put in Shape
For Fair in October

In early preparation for the Fourth
Maui County Fair, which will be held
October 1915 this year. much work is
now in progress at the grounds in
Kahului which is indicative of the in
creased scope of the fair and some of
the attractions that are to be offered
to amusement seekers as well as
sightseers.
Among the first things started by
Fair Director Lindsay was work under
the grand stand. Concrete floors have
been laid in the sections that will be
let for soft drinks and refreshment
concessions there for the mems dress
ing room, in which three shower
baths have been installed, and in the
offices. Back walls have been moved
farther back in some instances also.
Across the road from the grand
stand and mauka of the amusement
and show concessions space there has
been laid the foundation for the open
air roller skating rink. The floor will
be 120 by 100 feet. Nearby there will
be placed a large open air dancing
pavilion. 1t is possible that one new
building will be required and perhaps
some additions to some Of the present
| buildings.
One feature which will be intro
| duced will be large portable shell
or sounding board for speakers. This
will be placed before the grand stanc
when there is speaking insteadsof hav
| ing such features in the Territorial
| Building. Tough of good size, the
| "shell" can be moved immediatelN
any speaking ends. Thus the mair
! floor of the Territorial Building may
be utilized for exhibit space to an eX
tent that was not before possible.
| Work of improving the track is go
ing on, but is held back, as is the max
ing OF lawns and landscape gardening
by reason of the shortage of water.
| Director Lindsay is anxious to ge
more grass on the grounds to keel
down the dust and will have the road
oiled about a month in advance Q
the opening of the fair to help checl
the dust nuisance.

TOYS MADE BY PUPILS
OF MAUI SCHOOLS SHOWN

Toward the close of the summer
school for teachers in Honolulu there
was a remarkable exhibit of toys
made by students in the shop work
classes of r. c. Bowman, industrial
supervisor of the Maui publis schools
on display at the Mckinley high
school. The toys are cut out Of wood,
r;yeted together with movable joints
and painted in bright and artistic col
ors. There are geese whose ehads
and tails wag when a wooden pendu-
lum on a string is set IN motion.
knights in armor and mounted on
chargers are there, as also are mount
ed clowns, giraffes, touring ears and
many varieties of mechanical toys
which work to the delight OF children
They are far more attractive than
most of the commercially made toys
and will be made in schools through
out the islands under the supervision
of the teachers who have been 81

Case RumOred for
Hawaii Secretary
Leading Maui Attorney Is
Said 10 Be Considered by
Governor to Succeed Col.
c. P. Iaukea.

Strictly unofficial reports from Ho
nolulu are mentioning ID. II. Case
prominent Wailuku attorney, either as
Secretary of the Territory to succeed
Col. Curtis p. Iaukea, or for an i'm
portant position in Governor Earring
tons cabinet, possibly that of attor-
ney-general, now occupied by Harry
Irwin.
Attorney Case called on Governor
Harrington on Monday last. Not that
there is necessarily any peculiar sig
nificance in a Maui kamaaina passing
the time of day with an Oahu kamaa-
ina and a good friend of long years,
but report has it that the call was not
casual, merely because the Wailuku
lawyer happened in Honolulu on a
business trip. On the contrary, it is
said that Governor Harrington sent
for Case to discuss matters of state in
which the latter may become person
ally and prominently interested if he
SO desires.
Colonel Iaukea's term as Secretary
OF the Territory expired in March last.
He is holding on at the request of the
lltl Z nave Dttl sew
eral men whose names have been
mentioned for the office, a position
which is filled by the President on
the recommendation of the Governor.
John c. Lane and Raymond Brown
have been among those discussed for
the secretaryship, but lately rumor
has been busy with the name Of
Daniel Hebard in the same connec-
ton. A successor to Colonel Iaukea,
since the latter is holding only until
he is relieved, may be recommended
for appointment by the President at
any time. In the matter of the attor-
ney ey-generalship, it is understood that
the Governor wishes Harry Irwin to
remain until he has brought to com
pletion certain important business in
that department.
ID. H. Case opened law offices in
Wailuku in 1903 and for several terms
he was county attorney of Maui He
has been in the Islands for over a
quarter of a century In 1896 he en-
tered the law office of Kinney e Bal
lou, Honolulu. Born in Leavenworth,
Kansas, he was educated at Wash
burn College, Oberlin College, North
western University Claw departmenD
and after graduation practiced law in
his fathers office at Topeka.

the Shinyo Maru next Monday for the
Orient. Mrs. Coke, who has been

Judge Coke had planned to leave by
the Manoa next Wednesday for San
Francisco on his annual vacation
Judge and Mrs. Coke will be gone
four months and will, in addition to

M. A. Co. Goes Ahead
With New Fuel Plans

Maui Agricultural Company is go
ing right ahead with its plans to sub
stitute fuel alcohol for wood in the
houses and camps of the Paia and
Haiku plantations. 1t has placed sec
ond order for oil stoves in which the
fuel is to be burned. Further orders
will be placed later, but the second
order is indicative of the intention of
the company to go on with the project
No important developments in the
experimenting work have been noted
since Maui News told of the plans to
substitute supply of fuel oil for
wood. At that time the experiment
ing had been satisfactory and short
time later the order for more stoves
was placed, a larger number than in
the first shipment which arrived on
the previous Manoa.
The type of stove that is being pur
chased can be used in the houses or
can be placed in the ordinary concrete
affairs outside of most the plantation
houses.
| Around the company's office there
| exists a confidence that the projec
will be a success and an importan
money saver to the plantations.

It was thought at first that the
delegates would be in the Islands for
only nine days. but Thurston announc-
es that three weeks will be the term.
While on Maui some of the dele
gates will likely wish to make the
ascent of Haleakala. Arrangements
will be made for such as desire this

MANY in the big climb. Auto trips to
lao Valley and Kula will be included
in the program for Sunday, October

on Sunday-just an invitational affair
for The delegates, as there will be

Tuesday following, anyway.

OF the Honolulu papers recently. The

with some notifications, within the
amount of the appropriation.
1t is proposed to narrow the wharf
one bent, not to shorten it at all, and
not to let the contract for the cleo
trical conveyor at this time, as il
would not be installed for a year. and
Mr., Bigelow believes prices of motors
and machinery will decline by then.
Narrowing Of the wharf by one bent
OF 2i feet in width would not inter
fere with its usefulness at all, says
Bigelow, and would still leave it one
of the largest and finest wharves in
the territory.
Some idea of the immensely of the
structure that is to be built at Ka-
hului was given to the writer when
Mr. Bigelow took him to pier s in Ho-
nolulu and there made comparisons
between the wharf and the figures for
the one to be built at Kahului. Few
persons on Maui have an adequate
| idea of how large the wharf is to be.
though the writer was able to visual
ize its size on his trip with Mr.. Dige-
| low.
At Kahului the wharf will be 500
| feet in length and it will be "a feet
wider than pier at Honolulu. 1t will
be shielded with structure 400 feet
in length and 1872 feet in width.

shed shall be built at once. bat it NAV
not be possible to put on the general
merchandise shed. Even with the one
bent left out from the width it will
still be wider than pier s. As said.
the berthing place will be 500 feet.
1t is the plan of Mr.. Bibelow to let
a contract well within the appropria-
ton and then to add TO it so far as
the available funds will permit.

commissions exhibit will be moved
east of the pineapple section, which
is at the very center of the building,
to make more room for the fruits anC
vegetables. The board of agriculture
and forestry has asked for double The
space it had last year.
