Tlic cocoiinut industry is destined
to bo a very important onu in the
Iliuriiiiiin islatuls, according to A.
Z. l'othsehild, inunngor of the I'nei
fiu Filior Company, of Honolulu,
wlio liitH been on Maui during the
past week investigiitingtho possibili
ties of .securing a new supply of
coeoantit husks. Mr. Kolhschild's
company, which has been in opera
tion for the past year or more, is
engaged in the manufacture of door
mats, brushes, and other products
from the coeoannt fiber.
"The domand for our product is
practically unlimited," declared
Mr. I'othsehild, who has been mak
ing his headquarters at thoWailuku
Hotel. "We control broad patents
which will save us from competition,
and at the picsent time are the only
concern in the United States pre
pared to do what we are doing. The
present supply of mats is either
made in , Europe, or the prepared
filler is imported."
Mr. Rothschild would like to sec
the long strip of tide land between
the Pali and Olowalu, on theLahai
na side of the Island planted to co
eoanut trees. He declares that con
ditions should be ideal at that place.
Most of this land belongs to the Ter
ritory, and is so low and salt that
at present it is practically of no
value.

Futu
Ki haiiiii, is now editor of Ke Aloha
Aina, L. L. .MeCandless' Hawaiian
paper. Bright succeeds 1). Kahau
lelio, leader of the l.ahui party. It
was Kahaulelio's championship of
the new party that caused McCand-les-i
to dismiss him and now the
erstwhile editor says that he will
run for delegate to beat MeCandless
unless Pahiier Woods should consent
to-be a candidate. Kahaulclio, Al
bert II arris and others are making
large claims for the strength of the
Lahuis, but in niot quarters these
claims are not taken seriously.

in belter condition than it has ever
been before," declared Chief Sani

they could not be ropaired so as to
put them in sanitary condition."
Mr. Osmers states that things are
in pretty good shapeamongthe food
product shop? and restaurants of
Maui. The owners were obliged to

was elected on Wednesday night

Big Returns From
Japanese Wrestling
Over $10,000 is reported to have
been the receipts for the series of
Japanese wrestling exhibitions, held
at Kahtilui last Saturday Sunday
and Monday. In the neighborhood
of S000 persons witnessed the work
of Taebiyama, Otori, and the other
athletes in the party from Japan.
The Japanese of the Island came
from every district, and all seemed
able to dig up to necessary $1.60 to
82.50. Tachiyania is declared to
be the most powerful man, physical
ly, of Japan today, and he hi no
dilliculty in handjiiip the most
powerful adversary that could be
-brought against him here.
The company also gave an exhi
bition on Tuesday night, before
going on to Hilo.
Crowell Loses His Pipe.
Sheriff Clem Crowell is mourn
ing the loss of his favorite pipe.
During his trip to Molokai, last
Monday, in search of the murderer
of the aged Kula Chinaman who
was killed near Kihei last week,
the launch came near capsizing in
the heavy sea, and the sheriffs
suit case containing his revolver,
pipe, and other articles was dumped
overboard. Although the lost pro
perty was of considerable value,
the pipe is the only thing that the
chief is grieving seriously about.
Just a Little Dampal Keanae
George Groves, ditch superinten
dent at Keanao, accompanied by his
daughter, were visitors in Wailuku
this week. Mr. Groves reports that
the rainfall in his section has been
somewhat heavier than usual, thus
far this year, the recorded precipita
tion since January 1st, in the Kea
nao valley being just under 200
inches. This in spite of the fact
that February was a dryer month
than usual, the rainfall during that
month being but 2.01 inches. The
rainfall in May, however, was with
in less than an inch of being o feet.
A Crater Party.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Campbell,
of Puunene; Dr. Sawyer, and Mr.
O'Connor, a guest of Dr. Sawyer
from the Coast, make up a jc lly
little party which is this week
making the trip through the crater
and back by way of Kaupo, liana,
and the ditch trail. They started
Sunday and are expected back on
Monday, From reports from vari
ous parts of the Island, they are
being favored with exceptionally
good weather, and are doubtless
having a most delightful outing.
unMan
urrenders
riff
Cecilio Bodrigucs, who entered
the house of another Porto Rican in
the Spanish camp at Puunene last
week, and pumped the householder
full of lead whilehoslept, surrender
ed himself to Sheriff Crowell on
Sunday morning, and is now in jail
awaiting trial for his assault. Adol
fo, the wounded man, who got a
bullet through his scalp, another
through' his shoulder, and a third
flesh wound on the abdomen, will
recover.
The would-be-assassin in escaping
from the house after the shooting,
lost his hat, which was identified.
ShcrifT Crowell sent word for the
owner of the hat to come in, and he
came, putting in an appearance at
the Sheriff's house, early Sunday.
He is well known to the police,
having served a sentence for cutting
a man with a knife, sonic time ago.
Fine Bridge On Useless Road
J. II. Wilson, the contractor, has
just completed the 70-foot concrete
bridge across the West Kopiliula
gulch, on the new extension of the
belt road between Nahiku and Kea
nae. The bridge is declared to be
one of the best pieces of work in
Maui. The contractor is not yet
pan on his job, though he expects to
be within a few months. The un
usually wet season has greatly de
layed progress.
This is the road that has cost
805,000 and which has practically
no value at present because it ends
in the mountains, several milesfrom
any habitation. The nioney.atUh
orized by the legislature to be bor
rowed this year, and which would
have put the road through to Kea
nae, has been held up by the Gover
nor, and it is uncertain when the
job can be completed so as to make
it of some value.
Harvest Home
Polo Game Planned
A polo game for the afternoon of
Saturday, August lf, with tluOahu
team, will probably be one of the
features of the Puunene harvest
homo gathering this year. Although
Shirgle, of Oahu, who was pretty
badly hurt in a fall during thegame
with the Army team last Saturday,
may not be able to play again this
season, it is believed that a substi
tute can bo arranged for and a good
match assured. The Maui team is
keeping up its practise twice each
week, and both men and ponies are
in good shape for any encounter.
Memorial. Services For
Miss Ida M. Pope
Memorial services, of a particular
ly impressive character were held
last Sunday evening in the Wailuku
Union Church, in memory of Miss
Ida M. Pope, late principal of the
Kaniehameha Girls' School, whoso
death occurred recently in Chicago,
as noted in last week's issue. The
memorial address was made by the
Rev. R. B. Dodge, pastor of the
church. A chorus of former Kamc
hameha girls rendered a number of
beautiful selections.
Rev. John F. Cowan, of Kohala,
preached the regular sermon of the
evening, his subject being "When
the Loser Wins."
