NOTICE.
The Annual Meeting of btockhold
ers of the Maui Wine & Liquor Co,
Ltd. will be held at the ullice of the
Company ou Wednesday January

J. GARCIA,
Secretary Maui Wine & Liquor Co.

Editor Mai i Xkws.
I read with pleasure the article
in vonr valued paper of January
4th 1903. Under the headlines of
"The 4th of Julv Meeting IOCS."
From it, it must seem obvious to
evcrv good citizen oi .Maui mat
nothing will add more to the po
pularity of horse racing sport' on
Maui than to free it front dishonest
or questionable practices, but as a
matter of fact, it has taken higher
rank on Maui for the past few years,
by reason of the war that is- waged
bv an intelligent elms of men of
honest purposes, who continual'
strive to place it on u plane that
will defy criticism.
I do not mean toconvey the false
impression, that dishonesty among
horsemen is greater than among
those engaged in other vocations,
but the act3 of that class furnish
the targets for the poisonous shafts
of bigots, and the thirst for sen
sationalisu is so strong in their
craven craws, that thev will magni
fy to any extent a crooked act in a
horseman, while they are vnworthy
to clean the foot wear of the majority
of the gentlemen, who visit once a
year (July 4110 the Maui Racing
Association's track at Kahului,
If the critics were half as vigilant
in looking for wrong doers, and
one-half as prompt in publishing
and punishing them in other cir
cles, as in the Maui Racing Asso
ciation the perfume of their puri
lication would be incense worthy
of the Gods.
Hurah: for the coming 4th of
Juiy.
Yours sincerely,
DALEME.
An Industry l or tlauaiions.
That t hese waters produce sponges
of good marketable quality has long
been known. That they are as good
ns those produced anywhere, was
demonstrated bv the sei ntific men
of the Albolross expedition somp
years ago. That they are produced
here in considerable quantity is evi
deneed frequently. A considerable
number of large, serviceable sized
spongs, gathered at the other end of
this island by Lee Lndd. were sent
yesterday to the Regents of the
College of Agriculture. They make
an exhibit that is convincing.
The suggestion was mad? through
the columns of this paper the other
day tha't aid might be secured from
the Federal government to carry on
the cultivation of sponges in these
waters. But while this may doubt
less prove a valuable suggestion, the
fact remains that there is no need to
wait either for government aid in this
direct ion or for the results of culti
vation, before a remunerati e ir,dus
try can be inaugurated. Sponge fish
mg has beenearried on for centuries
with the most pfltnitivo appliances.
Indeed, there has been very little
improvement in the appliances since
the very earliest ages.
By reason of the simple appliances
required,. aud because the work fits
in with the habits and heritage of the
native Hawaiians, it would seem that
sponge fishing is an industry that
might be engaged in by them with
advantage. Sponges grow within
depths that are not bevond the diving
powers of the Hawaiians. In fact,
diving without diving appliances has
been the most extensively practiced
means of' securing sponges from the
earliest days. Boats of primitive
design and build have been sufficient
in the Mediterranean since the days
of Tyre and Sidon. Doubtless boats
with glass bottoms, or glass in the
bottom of boats, would be of great
service as an aid in locating the
sponge ledges. But these are beyond
neither the skill nor the ingenuity of
the native Hawaiian, as Is proved by
the fact that the principle has been
very ingeniously applied by trntn as
an aid in 'gathering limu. In this
work which is carried on in water of
wading depth, a box witla glass in
the bottom of it is used to more readily
discover the limu tt ihe bottom of the
water.
After the sponges have been
gathered, they must be prepared for
the market. The appliances for this
are simple and inexpensive, and could
easily be provided from outside
sources should anyone undertake to
foster and develop sponge fishing in
Hawaiian waters. Among the many
generous and kindly efforts made to
foster self helpamongthe Hawaiians,
it would seem that none could find
better opportunity than in sponge
fishing. Advertiser.
