tice heretofore for eliminating muds
from the juices.
Other recent improvements include
a new concrete garage, the largest
and most commodious IN the Island;
e concrete round house with ac-
commodations for seven locomotives;
a new up to date dairy built in 1921;
a 60 h.. p. Best tractor, the second of
the kind the plantation has; building
of new houses for skilled employees
as well as in the camps.
One of the notable changes in the
camps is the building of kitchens
onto the house of laborers when such
workers buy wood stoves which the
plantation company furnishes to them
for less than cost. Heretofore kitch-
ems have been in separate buildings.
For the entertainment of the EN-.
ployees, a new theater is building.

good of its employees, skilled and un-
skilled.
Continuing the policy of looking af-
ter the comfort of its employees inau-
gurated years ago, II. G. & S. Co. has
the reputation throughout the Islands
of having the best camps, the most
comfortable houses and doing more
for the welfare of its workers han
any other plantation in Hawaii nei.
That is the report of the workmen
and of investigators who inspect the
properties of all the companies in the
Islands and then report that Puunene
is the best plantation to work on. For
this reason Hawaiian Commercial &
Sugar Company has admittedly the
best class of workers to be found on
Maui. Its extensive plan of welfare
work was slowed down but not halted
by the slump in the price of sugar.
In spite of that fact the plantation was
short between 400 and 500 workers in
1921.
One of the improvements in that
line that is in progress is camp light
ing, a project that is well under way,
the largest camps to be electrically
lighted by the end of this yea and
all the camps will undoubtedly be
lighted by the end of 1928.
Mill Capacity Increased
Prior to late in the summer of 1920
Puunene had had a 12-roller mill but
since then the 15-roller mill has been
in operation. 1t is this mill that made
the worlds record for extraction On
the entire 1921 crop. During the year
1920 the pumps of the plantation deli
vered more water than previously in
its history, 1868 million gallons, al,
most as much as was delivered the
company by the East Maui Irrigation
Company, 1875 million gallons. In
1921 5000 million fewer gallons were
required to be pumped because OF less
droughty conditions. During that year
the water delivery capacity was in
creased by the opening in June of a
new Is, 900, 900 gallon capacity electri
cally driven centrifugal pump, deli
vering directly into the Haiku ditch
A new Cameron pump was installed
at Kihei in May of that year with q

Sugar Mills Of
Maui Lead All
In Efficiency

AS in all the chief Islands of Ha-
wall nei so on Maui the raising of
sugar cane and the making of the
cane into sugar is the leading inter
est, and here, rs in the other Islands
formerly il was practically the only
important industry. ON Maui the pine
apple industry has grown up and so
also has the livestock. Sugar re-
quires the greatest area of cultivatable
lands Of the Island. is It's greatest
source Of revenue and is its chief
item of wealth. Millions of dollars
are invested in its mills.
In none Of the Islands is there so
high a standard of efficiency and ex-
cellence of equipment all through the
plantations as on Maui. It has the
largest producer and no where else
is there found such q willingness to
aid in public veal on the part of The
sugar companies as here.
The Island now has seven SUGAR
companies, Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company, Maui Agricultural
Company, Waikiki Sugar Company
all in Central and East Maui. Olowa-
lu and Pioneer Mill Co. i'm Lahaina
and Kaeleku and Kipahulu in the
Hama district. The last named was
recently sold to Haiku Fruit and
Packing Company and after the 1923
crop is harvested BY the Fassoths, it
will be turned over to pineapples.
Droughts have curtailed production
Tor the past two or three years anc
labor shortage has been seriously
felt but Maui has held it's own in
production compared with the other
Islands of the group in the face of
those difficulties. 1t ~irrigates its
lands generally and extensively.
Some detailed descriptions of what
the various companies are doing fol

district, and it is told in a memorium
book written by his o Arthur, an
attorney in Cleveland, Ohio, that $780,
900 was the sum it has been decided
to accept. The dea failed to go
through and in time Baldwin himself
acquired the Spreckels' plantation,
now known as the Hawaiian CONNER
cial and Sugar Company, thus combin-
ing the Baldwin plantations, but as
separate properties, located between
Waikiki and Makawao.
Welfare Work Pioneer
He also initiated welfare work for
the employees, club house, hospitals
and schools and other beneficial insti-
buttons. On his death Frank F. Bald
win succeeded to its management and
he has kept Puunene at the front in
production, progress, equipment, re-
suits and in kindly interest for the
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-10-10

of not less than 1900 tons as a result
of late grinding and labor shortage.
This year, however, it has come back
decidedly and in the face of labor
shortage ground 376,877 tons of cane
and bagged $1,000 tons of sugar, 5000
tons less than in the favorable year
1920. 1t ground practically the same
amount of cane as then but the SUI
crosse content vas smaller.
Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar
Company or Puunene as it is so com
monty called, was the plantation for
which the late II. p. Baldwin did per-
haps more than any other, much as
he did for his Paia plantation. The
two went forward together after he
acquired what is now Hawaiian Com
mercial and Sugar Company property.
Race With Spreckels
1t was II. p. Baldwin who conceived
the idea of carrying water from the
distant Nahiku district, and it was he
who succeeded in bringing the first
ditch water for over twenty miles to
the Paia district, in what in its later
phase developed into a race with
Claus Spreckels and his associates.
Spreckels, always a favorite with
King Kalakaua, had secured a license
provided that Baldwin, with an earlier
license, did not get his ditch built by
a certain time. 1t seemed impossible
that this could be done, but Mr.. Bald
win, although handicapped by the loss
of an arm and with no means but the
most crude for transporting supplies
won the race. 1t is related of hin
that an inverted siphon had to be in
serted in MalikO Gulch for the pur
pose of which his native assistants
feared to make the ascension. IL
give them courage, Mr.. Baldwin, IL
spite of his one arm, first made thu
ascension of the rope and that the Ha
waiian workmen then followed.
This water brought from Nahikl
was used for what was originally tn
old Paia plantation, and in the mil
in which II. p. Baldwin has previous
ly lost his arm in the crusher.
In subsequent years Spreckels AM
his associates attempted to purchas'
the Baldwin properties in the Paii

capacity of IL, 000,0 900 gallons. The
present pump capacity is well over
100, 900, 900 gallons per diem.
Big Ditch Project
The Wailoa Ditch project will be
more fully mentioned elsewhere. 1t
is expected to be completed about the
middle of next year and then it is plan
ned to start construction on a new
hydro-electric plant.
The first section of the ditch, a
chain of tunnels 5 Is miles long from
Waiakamoi to Halehaku was completed
September "a, 1921. 1t has automatic
intake gates which open automatically
only when there is less than full water
in the ditch. 1t is capable of deliver
ing all of the normal East Maui run
off at Halehaku. The second section,
now nearing completion, is from Ha-
lehaku to Paia, a chain of tunnels
