 In the matter of power We found that there were several boats avail able, but not suitable for the uses in- tended; and after d careful survey of the situation we have arrived at h. conclusion that the only safe and feas- ible plan would he to purchas" the equipment of the Alaska Lishtel7l se and Commercial Company. In making this recommendation We hereby sci forth the following facts;
 Yom committee found that tho cost of equipment necessary to conduct the lighterlge business would reach the sum of s57,000. Ht inNentoried rates of the Alaska I.ighterage and Commercial Company. After review ing the various properties set forth in said inventory your committee came to the conclusion that the values plac- were reasonable and your committee further found that said inventory con- tained property which would not be of immediate use. but which could be procured for the additional sum of B 000 and in view of all the circum- stances and conditions. recommends that the Alaska Tightera se and Con- mercial Company's plant and property be purchased for the sum of s60.00o
 Your committee further took the matter up with the Agent of the Alaska Llghterage and Commercial Companv. at Nome. and said Agent wired the head office requesting authority to sell said plant upon the following terms. to-wit:

 Your committee found that to land merchandise upon the beach would be extremely expensive and unusually hazardous.
 Your comnittee recommends that 2 corporation be organized, capitalized at $100,o00 and stock be issued at the par value of $1o.O0 per share, for the purpose of acquiring the Alaska Light craze and Comercial Company's plant end engaging in the lighterage busi- ness.
 Your committee is of the opinion that by operating on the present Alas ka Lightaage and Commercial Com- pany's tariff. that this is good basil ness proposition, and that the stock holders will net from six to ten per cent upon the money invested. and the plant should clear itself in two years.

Season at Best,
Now Is the Time For
Preparing For Fair

Many fruits are in season, at their
best, and will not be so good nor SO
plentiful again this year as now,
points out Mrs. William Lougher, whp
has consented to again heal tie com
mittee on home economics for the
coming Maui County Fair. Now is
the time, she says, for skilled house
wives OF Maui to begin putting up
their exhibits for the fair, latter they
will rot be able to get what is nov
available for preserving, canning and
picking.
Mrs. Tougher is one of the first
committee heads to get busy or prep
arations for her department of the
fair. She is no new hand, has handled
the department before and so her ad-
vice to prospective exhibitors should
bear weight. She has now on hand
a large number of glass jars for pre-
serves, jellies jams and other attrac-
tive good things. These she will give
or send OF prospective exhibitors who
may call upon or send to her asking
for them. She will call her commit
tee together early next month and
then the active campaign of that de-
partment will begin.
"Home economies says Mrs.
Tougher, is the one department of the
Fair that may be called especially n
woman's department. The women of
Maui can make that exhibit just as
good as they will. We have some of
the best cooks and the best house
wives of the Islands here and that in
sures a keen competition if they will
show the interest it is right to en-
pect that they should. AS | have said,
an early start is desirable and now is
the best time to make that start. The
Fair is only three months away and
if culinary experts will spread a little
of their time through that period of
three months they will find they have
accumulated a larger and better dis
play than ever before.

Thief Who Operated In
Camps 5 and 10 Taken

Depredations which annoyed and
worried residents of camps 5 and 10,
Puunene, are expected to end with
the arrest yesterday of Tomas Saliva
dor by Sheriff Crowell and Officer
Cambria. During the months of May
and June numbers of houses in those
camps were entered and Salvador has
confessed his responsibility.
Salvador was convicted of burglary
in Kauai in 1914, the sheriff's office
says, and sentenced to serve an indie
terminate term of 2 to 20 years in
the penitentiary. With other convicts
he was brought to Maui to work on
the Kula road in 1916 and while here
on the road gang was paroled. He re-
manned and worked here until Feb
ruary of this year, when he went to
Honolulu, returning in May. 1t was
soon after his return that the thefts
began to be reported.

Lure of Philippines
Holds Hansens There
Longer Than Expected

Doctor and Mrs. c. o. Hansen, form
erly of Haiku, are still in the Philip
pines but expect to continue their
journey around the world about Sep
TENDER Is. Writing from Baguio,
Benguet, in northern Luzon under date
of June 25, Mrs. Hansen says:
The mountains of the Philippines
hold so much of interest and novelty,
especially the trails leading into the
remote regions of the yet uncivilized
head hunters of various TRIBES, that
we have fingered far beyond the orr
ginal date we had set for our trip to
Borneo, thence Sumatra, India and
eel westward.
THE present investigation of the
Wood-Forbes Commission we are fol-
lowing with keen interest, also the
educational trend of the present time.
Over 300 American teachers occupied
the Government Camp Ga kilometer
from our quarters at the country
club) during April and May-also 500
native teachers.
Baguio is s~uperlatively beautiful
with its population of 5000 scattered
over a series of pine ridges, 800 feet

Seek the Tourist
Wailuku. July 20, 1921

Wailuku, July 20, 1921.
Editor, The Maui News,
Dear Sirs:
Permit me to use a few lines of
your valuable paper, for a few sug-
gestions, which I'm confident will help
the general public, if considered.
This Maui island having good roads,
good hotels, and a great many attrac-
tions, with many courteous peoples,
there's no reason, why the general
public should not take even a least
bit of interest in attracting the many
tourists who visit these island an
nually.
Nearly all such tourists visit the
Volcano of Kilauea, on Hawaii and
there's no reason, why we cannot
bring them to our island, to the many
attractions and the scenic grandeur
that neither other island has.
Do you realize the visiting toul lists,
spend many thousands of dollars on
these islands annually? Why not
boost for our island MAUD and get a
share of this huge amount?
Men, women and childten IL mean
the general public sEould put then
utmost effort in this matter and see
that the island of Maui should have
a place in the sun.
Truly yours,
A FRIEND.
