$ A Very lively and general interest is being manifested by the
trio snrofiBB of
i i .
lish a bank at Wailuku, and this interest is beginning to take a
practical and substantial form; The people ot Maui should make
it a point of honor to subscribe for

should be sufficient incentive to

should take at least a little stock
Si Hawaiian tradition tells us that
found their war to the Islands.-a
uninterrupted phalanx spread out
Maalaea Bay. This is quite probable, and the destruction oS this
forest should be remedied as far as possible. The Unitedi States
government has taken up the matter of restoring forests in earn
and the territory should follow
moftey at its back must take the
offered for successful forestry work. Even the children at school
should grow up strongly imbued with this idea, sorhat they at least
may repair the mischief which their forbears- have done
or permitted.
The proposition of establishing a sugar refinery on the Is
lands is a pipe dream for some years yet, if at all. Sugar is sent
directly from many of the ports on the Islands to the coast or the
east where there are refineries, with the minimum of handling,
whereas if there were a refinery on the Islands, sugar would have
to be shipped to the refinery, unloaded, refined, and then refthipped
to the coast. Besides, the materials necessary for the refining
'"process would nearly all have to be imported, to say- nothing of
the first cost of erecting a refinery. However if the time should come
when a refinery, should be established, Kahului is the logical spot
for its establishment. " .

SSL The Advertiser isjmaking a strenuous fight with pen and pen.
. cil against calling aniextra session of the legislature for the pur
pose of raising funds to meet the current expenses of the govern
ment. But it is a solemn truth that something has got to be done,
and done right away. If not an extra session, what? The Adver
tiser shouldjeither telVus or stop fighting the only practical method
of raising revenues. It is all bosh about raising the county seat
fight again at,anyextra session. Let's have the extra session
and-be done with it.
JJJjj There is not a more healthful breakfast fruit on the Islands
or on earth than the papaya, yet how many readers of this editor
ial had a generous slice of this delicious golden globe for breakfast
this morning? The papaj a makes a rapid growth, maturing its
' fruit within a year after being planted, and is a prolific bearer
the year round. It take3 but little room, shooting heavenward in
a slender spire, and heeds but little attention. Curious that more
of. them aro not planted in and about our door yards.
i$l Our able and efficient legislature has just appropriated $5,000
000 for the next two years expenses. A mere bagatelle, truly,
but enough to skimp along on till times get better. Now it may be
fairly supposed that having appropriated this amount, they will in
ttra session, pass a loan bill to cover the amount of the appro
priation. Guess w had better let the extra session go and wear
jur last year's shirt waist for another session.

JSS The proposition of fitting

one, but this is now the twentieth century, and that charmin,
"method of buccaneering has become obsolete. If Krueger has any
hope of winning out against England, he could tdo nothing which
would so effectua'ly kill all his possible chances as to attempt a
privateering scheme.
jjf The income tax is all right in theory, but practically it can
never be made to work satisfactorily. The old fashioned plan of
taxing all'property equally, both personal and real, at so many
cents on the hundred dollars is the only practical method, and the
one on which the Islands must depend for revenue.
j3f What has becomeof the Kahului yatch club? Nothing is
more exhilarating than boat racing, either with the oars or sails,
and now that athletic sports are being initiated on Maui, we

Washington's steward was. a. man
named Fraunces, who liked good liv
ing and with whom Washington con
tinually quarreled about the market
ing. One time he bought a shad in
February, and as Washington saw it
coming into the dining room he was
charmed and asked what lish it was.
"It is a shad," replied the steward;
" a very fine shad. It was the only
one m the market, and I bought it
for you."
"But what did you pay for it?
said Washington sternly.
"It is a very fine shad," continued
the steward, "and it is cooked to
turn."
"But I want to know the price
the price I" .
'It cost $3," stammered out
Fraunces.
"Take it away," said Washington
as he raised ms nanus: "lane u
away. It shall never be said that
set such an example of luxury and ex
travagance."
And with that he drove the stew
ard out of the room, and the shad
was eaten in the servants' kitchen.

From a review in Science of De
Mortillet's great work on prehistoric
times the following is condensed
Twelve chapters are devoted to the
question of tertiary man. It is con
eluded that while man did not exist
duriug this period, precursors
man more intelligent than any of the
living anthropoids did exist.
Pithecanthropus erectus is consid
ered as the immediate precursor of
man. The Calaveras skull is reject
ed. The paleolithic period is consid
ered as corresponding to the early
quarternary, and 220,000 years is
assigned as the length of this period.
Add to this number 10,000 years for
the protohistoric and neolithic per
iods and 6,000 years more for the
historic period, and we have 238,000
years, which is, according to the
authors, a moderate estimate of
man's antiquity.
An editor has been inspired, after
looking over his list of delinquent
subscribers, to compose the following:
