'Secretary II. P. Wood of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee who
last week completed a tour of the
island has returned to Honolulu
and gives a most glowing account
of the scenic beauty of the island
which he says is tho leader of the
group.
In an inteiviow with an adver
tiser reporter he says.
"As a result of what I saw dur
ing my short stay on Maui I think
that I am justfied in saying that
that island has more to oiler in
the way of scenic attractions for
fourists than any other island in
the group," said Secretary Wood at
the meeting of the Promotion Com
mittee yesterday, reporting on his
recent trip. Mr. Wood visitsd the
various points of interest on the
VaMey Isle, including the sum nil
of Ilaleakala, the plateau at the
head of Iao Valley, the trail
through tho rubber country and
tho field of the new pinoapple in
dustry, and comes back strongly
impressed with the necessity of
advertising Maui still more exten
sively as a place for tourists.
Among the lecommendations
which Mr. Wood make?, a recom
mendation endorsed by the com
mittee yesterday is that the govern
ment should carry out its policy
inaugurated with the building of
the Kilauea road with prison labor
and put gangs at work in building
a proper trail to Ilaleakala from
Idlewild and also extending the
trail up Iao Valley, past the Need
les and to the summit crater. In
these matters the Secretary was in
structed to bring them to the at
tention of the Governor.
Tho meeting yesterday, which
was attended by W. T. Lucas, .las.
L. McLean, J. A. McCandlcss and
Secretary Wood, developed into a
good roads' caucus, the main dis
cussion of the meeting being on tho
fact that ir. any of tho macadam
roads of the district wore being
allowed to fail into disrepair. Tho

fact that the road department had
patching slangs now at work was
mentioned, however, as promising
better things. This discussion arose
over a proposal to recommend to
t tie Supervisors tho immediate re
pairing of t he Diamond Head road.
This recommendation was not
adopted, however, as it was not
considered advisable to particular
ize in asking for repair?.
In connections ith the trip made
to Maui by the Secretary he re
ported that the hotel accommoda
tions on that island for tourists
were in fairly good shape. Ho
thought that a rest house at Keanae
would make tho ride over that trail
more popular. This was the trip
taken by tho Longworths and the
Londons, a trip which Jack London
declared afforded him more satis
faction than any he had ever taken
anywhere in the world. Tho Sec
retary was instructed to eommuni
cato with the Wailuku Improve
ment Association and suggest that
tho matter be considered.

The regular weekly report ot the
Secretary was:
IJyjthe Sierra we received a few
lines from Commodore Sinclair o
the South Coast Yacht Club, stat
ing that his club has added two
new boats to its list this season,
botli of which are probable entries
for tho 190S race One of tho boats
is about fifty-eight feet water line,
the other about eighty feet. Mr.
Sinclair closed his letter by saying:
"I expect to sail tho Lurlino
again, though perhaps not to vic
tory." Tho following letter from Mr. II.
C. Harlow, executive director of the
Chicago Association of Commerce,
is of general interest:

"The association, represented by

and through this demonstration of
your remarkable resources, and the
opportune remarks by Mr. Higgins,
wore led to think of tho islands as

WAS QUANTRCLL ON MAUI?
County Attorney, D. II. Case
has received" a letter from his fath
er who resides in Topeka, Kansas
in which he encoses a clipping
from the Mail and Breeze which
will prove interesting reading to
tho residents of the islands and
should it prove true it will assist
in clearing up a mystery connect
ed with the death of one of tho
most notorious characters the Unit
ed States ever produced. The Mail
and Breeze says:
FROM QUA.NTRELL'S RELA
TIVE. Wo give the following letter re
ceived a few days ago for what it
is worth. Tf tho statements ' in it
are true it is certainly an interest
ing contribution to the history of
Kansas.
Editor Mail and Breeze I see
quite a discussion in the papers as
to whether Quantrcll is alivo or
not.
If you will lake my word for it
Quantrell is not alive. Ho died
February 1(5, 190G, 'on the island
of Maui, in Hawaii. lie had real
property both on Hawaii and Maui,
lie had two sons, one at Oahu and
one at Honolulu. I was with him
in prison at Louisville, Ky., and
knew of his mysterious escape at
the time. After the war I mot him
in Montana. I wont with him
then to Prince Willhm county,
Virginia, near Washington city.
We went over the old battleground
at Bull Run and collected several
bits of history and made a map of
the battleground. Quantrell went
under an assumed name.
Wo visited C ener.il Robert E.
Lee and wore well entertained by
Captain Tyler of Hay market. Wc
married sisters in North Carolina.
Wo moved to Nebraska where
Quantrcll bought and sold lands,
lie did not act as an agent, but
bought all that ho could get. Some
ho paid for and some he only gave
notes and mortgages for. I To got
deeds to largo amounts. Tho coun
try was sparsely settled and ho
sold to the best advantage.
We boih sold out and went to Mis
souri in 1S72. Wo stopped with a
man by thu name of Martin Rice, in
Jackson eou' try, near Kansas City
Rico was a well informed man and
a yentloman, and ' good at writing
poetry. He had a keen insight into
national affairs and was a pretty
t;ood financier. Quantrell and I both
took quite an interest in writing and
copying many of Rico's piecos of poo
try and tins seomad to please him a
yreut deal. We took our fair.ilies to
a place near II-m'isonville in Cnss
county and loft them with a family
by the name of Ford. We went to
the Hawaiian lslunds during tho Har
rison admlnstratioi).
Quantrell conceived the uloa that
the islands would eventually bo an

had a considerable interest in tho is
lands. Wo had a scheme oji foot
