Gus says that any one who knows
yrhen the storm began ought, by the
same rule, to know when it is going
to stop. J
School was suspended several days
this week on account of storm and
the rickety condition of the Wailuku
school building,
The indications aro that the back
of the koua storm is broken, athough
unsettled weather maybe expected

There is only one place on the Isl

The present storm will be a good

The Makawao literary club are to
discuss the question of a federal leper
settlement on the Islauds, at their

The Japanese on Maui are great
admirers of horses and every ono of
them who can afford it owns a, dap-
, per, bleek little pony. One thing to
bo said "in their favor is that they ore
as a general rule kind to their ani-
.mal3.
Tbe time has arrived to organize a
literary society in Wailuku, for there
is plenty of talent available. It is a
reproach to tho town that something
has not already been attempted in
that direction, and all that is needed
is' two or three energetic and en
thusiastic leaders.
Qcacsionally there is complaint
that a copy of the News fails to ma
terialize to one or another of our reg
ular subscribers. It wonld be a
great personal favor if any one who
fails to receive the paper regularly
would ring up the News office and
raport that fact.
. A feeling of discontent closely al
lied to disgust was felt by the citizens
: of Wailuku on Wednesday morning,
when they went to the post office and
learned that the regular weekly mail
had not arrived. The foreman of the
News office thrashed the printer's
devil who indiscreetly asked him for
"copy."
Hoodlumism prevails largely at
Waikapu, and the police are begin
ning take notice of the matter. Kau-
wila Silva was arrested for hitting
the lighted lantern of a passing Jap
anese with a rock, and ufterwards
knocking the Japanese down with
his fist, and was fined $10 by Judge
. Kaleikau.
The Konb' Storm.
The gamboling and t pouting whales
close in shore along tho pali road
proved true prophets so Jar as an ap
proaching storm was concerned. Fot
weeks past the weather has been
anomolous on Maui, and the north
and south kona winds have been wag
ing incessant battle. Frequently tlie
phenontona of clouds moving in oppo
site directions over tho same area
were witnessed. Lower down heavy
masses of broken, cumulus clouds
were moving ma jesticallv southward,
while higher up, directly over them
thin veils of fleecy, cirrus ciouds
were flying northward.
The storm proper broke from the
north on Thursday night of last week,
and since then the rain has constant
ly increased, so that now the whole
of Maui is thoroughly saturated.
When the storm first broke, two
boats of Hawaiian fisherman from
Waihee were anchored off Kahakuloa
point at eleven o'clock at night. One
boat containing two fisherman lauded
off Waiehu at two o'clock tho next
morning. Nothing could be seen or
heard of the other boat containing
six men, and during the forenoon of
the next day searching parties scour
ed the beach from Kahakuloa Point
to Kahului. Finally-during the after
noon, when search had been giveuup
and all hope abandoned, the six men
rowed into Kahului harbor, half dead
with cold, fatigue and exhaustion.
The rain was much needed, espe
cially in the liana District, which has
been suffering a drouth, and it will
add much to next year's output of
sugar.
Much more rain fell in the Maka
wao District than at Wailuku, and
considerable loss and damages is re
ported from up country. One of
Awana's mules fell in the stream
that crosses the road near Makawao,
and was drowned.
"The' Worst damage however was
done to the railroad track at Paia.
A torrent of water came rushing
down from the hills and cut a chan
nel across the track, just this side of
the Paia Depot, about forty feet
wide,' and from twelve to fourteen
deep, down, iu fact, to sea-level. ' It
will cost at least $500 to repair tlie
damages at this point.
The lake back of Kahului overflow
ed and sought an outlet to the sea
through the channel which was wash
ed out during last year's kona. The
bridge near Ah Kip's coffee-shop on
the road to Puunene is entirely sub
merged, but is reported as still
standing. The coffee-shop stands in
midst of the lake, which has spread
out toward Kahului until it has par
tially covered the yard at Mr. Kirk
laud's residence. ,
The bridge across the outlet chan
nel on this side of Kahului is still in
tact, though the road board kept a
force of men working on it for two or
three days. The railroad bridge,
just below, was undermined so as to
stop trains from crossing it. Supt.
Filler improvised a pile driver, using
one of the track engines for a hoist,
and sunk several heavy piles about
eight feet deep, on which tho track
and bridge is now supported safely.
The rain was very heavy at Olo
walu, and the bridge across the
stream between Olowalu and Lahai.ua
is reported as practically destroyed.
For the past three days mail was
carried between Wailuku and Laha
ina on horseback.
The storm has kept the telephone
wires broken,-so that communication
between different points on the is
land has been quite irregular.
Iao river, although high, has done
no particular damage, though some
of the flumes of the W&uunu Sugar
Co. were broken down.
M. A. A. Meeting.
On Monday evening the regular
monthly meeting of the M. A. A.
was held at the court house, with
barely a quorum present, on account
of the storm.
From the report of the secretary
it was found that the Association is
in funds again, and several back bills
were ordered paid. The committee
on grounds suggested that some
work was needed on Wells Park, und
they were authorized to have the
work done so far as possible with
the funds on hand.
After some discussion concerning
the securing of additional land at
Wells Park for polo purposes, it was
decided that for thq present it would
be more expedient to use the polo
ground at Kahului, and a resolution
to that effect was adopted.
Several proposed amendments to
the by-laws were read and filed, to
be acted upon at the next meeting.
No further' bus!ness"coming up, tlie
meeting adjourned. '
It is understood that the polo
grounds at Kahului are to be put
in excellent condition at once and as
soon as 'he weather permits, prac-,
tico polo games will be rtsumed.
LAHAINA NOT13S.
The wind-storm, which lasted for
several days, broke off large branches
of the trees, and many trees were
blown down. The rain which follow
ed made little ponds nnd puddles in
all parts of tfic town. Main street was
over-flowed in many place, and the
water was so deep that some persons
feared to leave their houses. Some
damage was don by the falling trees.
A meet ing of the West Maui Teach
ers' Association was held in Kinder
garten Hall on Feb. 28. Musical
selections were contributed by Misses
Hadlev and Barker, and recitations
were given by Miss Carleton. The
third act of the "Merchant of Venice"
was read, and a number of singular
presents were distributed.
Tho Pioneer Stable has a new sign.
There was no session of the public
schools on Wednesday.
It is rumored that a bridge was
carried away uear Olowalu.
Jose de Coito Drowned.
Between 11 a'nd 12 o'clock Thurs
day noon, Joe de Coito, a Portuguese
teamster and rancher whose lived be
yond Kokomo, was coming on horse
back to Makawao. In attempting
to ford Maliko Gulch, near Kaluanui
his horse stumbled and fell, both
horse and rider being washed down
the stream and drowned.
This is an extremely dangerous
crossing in high water, and Mr. de
Coito is said to be the seventh known
victim who has been drowned at that
place.
