A UECOllD BREAKER.,.
Last week the Hawaiian Com
mercial & Sugar Company's mill
atTiuinene ground - over fourtcon
thousand tons o'f cane and manu
factured two thousand one hundred
tons of raw sugar. This was done
in six days time, and is the record
breaker of the world, and far in
excess of anything thought possible
a few years ago. It is an average
of three hundred and fifty tons per
day.
Within.' the corner stone of the
new Wailuku school House is a
copy of a newspaper presented by
the Honorable H. P. Baldwin,
lich gives an account of one of
the meetings of the Hawaiian Su
gar Planters Association when lie
,vas a young man and in attend
ance for the first time. The report
in thin paper shows that at that
time the output of sugar for the en
tiro Island of Maui was fivo hundred
tons per annum, and he is said to
have prophesied then that the daj'
would come when the output of
sugar for this island would in time
reach two thousand tons per year,
at which optimistic statcmont all
the sugar planters laughed. And
now within a ljfc time one of his
plantations alone manufactures
in one week's time over the
amount that he thought it possible
for the whole island to produce
in one year.

provement Committeo was granted

port of something accomplished at
tho next meeting. Tho tree plant
ing committee, consisting of W7 J.
Coelho, made a report of much in
terest. Trees havo been secured,
ptrmission to plant the same along

many patriotic citizens, jncluding

sections of the roads.
Especially has Kahului. taken"
an interest in tho matter and nuichl
good will be-accomplished.
The report of the committea was
received, and on motion of Mr. D.
II. Case, a vote of thanks was ex
tended to Mr. Coelho. Tho motion
was carried unanimousl'.
The matter of carina for the
trees'was discussed and Mr. Case
offered to take up a subscription'to
pay for the care of the trees until
the matter could bo taken up by
the Board of Supervisors of Maui
County, as it was believed these
could be cared for out of road
funds.
Mr. Copeliiml, chairman of the
anti-mosquito committee, reported
that a consignment of top minnow?
would reach" Mnui next. Sa tinlay.
Oiling of stagnant pools' was
dwelt on and the third matter of
cleaning up tho community was
then taken up. Mr. Geo. Weight,
sanitary inspector, reported on the
work done by his department.
A resolution was moved by
Judge McKay that tho secretary
write to the principals of the va
rious schools asking -their assist
ance and cooperation, and also
that of the teachers and pupils, in
trying to minimize the mosquito
pests in the district.

and the cement work will bo begun

a delay in the construction of the
work the residents of town will bo

l,t' "Even though the old side walks
were laid with the planks length
wise and therefore caused many
fall and many slivers to run into
the feet of the children rfnd caused
at least one broken ankle they
served a goqd purpose in their time
and were better, at least, in wot
weather than no walks. None wil
regret to see them give place to
concrete.
When this work is completed
and the new walk built down to
the depot the next improvement
that should be agitated is the lay-
mg.of a concrete walk on High
Street out to tho new school house
after which should follow the crec
tion of a new Court House on the
site of the old tumble down build
ings that are now makeshifts for a
Court House and temporary jail.
Mr. W. O. Smith was seen this
week by a representative of tho
Nkws and caressed himself in the
strongest terms in favor of the erec
tion of a suitable Court House and
was surprised to find the old build
ing in such a dilapidated condi
tion.
He said that while he favors the
strictest economy in the adminis
tration of tho Territorial financia
affairs he believes' tho mteiest of
the community would be served by
the building of a new Court House
here and was surprised that the
administration had not included in
its plans the, erection of such
building to'u't'of the funds available
at this time.
1RUBBER HAS BRIGHT PROS
PECTS. Messrs II. A. Wadsworth and W.
L. Decoto of the Koolau Rubber
Company have returned from :
personal inspection of the com
pany's plantation at Nahiku and
are highly pleased with the out
look of rubber on their planta
tion and the others in that
vicinity. Mr. Wadsworth says the
trees that wore planted "from seed
last June are now as high as fifteen
feet and aro thriving bevond belief,
The company has twenty live
.lores planted or ten thousand trees
all of which are doing well. J'rac
tically all of the lands aro cleared
and ready for planting and as soon
as the seed and plants arrive, which
will he soon, the work will go rapid
ly on.
lhe lands were practically all
covered with a heavy growth of
trees and brush and it has cost
but six dollars per acre to clear tlu
land while tho digging of tho holes
for tho planting has" cost but one
cent per holo. This is due priii
cipally to tho fact that Jhe soil is
loose and free from stones and as
it is free from grass it is an easy
proposition.
All of the buildings necessary
aro already built and tho expense
of tho up keep qf the plantation
will bo light from now on.
It is confidently expected that
too growing. 01 rubber will be ono
of the most successful industries
on tho island and will make pos
sible the utilization of many acres
of land that aro now useless.
