Prof. Krauss was at fieorge Copp's home with his engine and thresher on Tuesday, Hoc. 29, to demonstrate to the Kula farm ore threshing beans by power. Our sales this year, through the Marketing Division, have clearly shown that we have but to turn out a good, unlfoim grade of Maui red boans and we can not supply the demand. To do this we must use machinery for cleaning as thorough cleaning by hand Is too expensive. Christmas was a great day at the Sanitarium. Such turkey and pudding there never was before! And there was a tree with gifts, and toys and masks for the children there. Kula did its best in the way of weather to help along. The Chinese Episcopal church at Keokea had its tree on Christmas eve. Despite a raging Kona storm tho hap py occasion was well attended.

When the motorcycle carrying Joe Alapai and Sam Sniffen attempted to contest (he right of way wllh I). H. Case's automobile, last Sunday morn ing, the result was disastrous all around. The cycle was wrecked, lis riders both sent to the hospital, and the motor car was considerably bat tered up. Although the report was current later that Sniffen had succumbed his injuries, the report proved to be gross ly exaggerated, and the young man will probably be out of the hospital in a day or two, as good as ever. He sustained a terrific bump on the head that produced a concussion of (he brain, that for a time kept the doc tors guessing. His hurls, however, were really less serious than those of his companion, who sustained a brok en leg. Alapai is now in the Paia hospital, where he will remain until ready to resume his duties on the Pala plantation. The accident occurred about ten o'clock Sunday morning as Mr. Case, with Mrs. Case, A. C. Warner, and T. Desmond Collins, was on his way to the special church services at Pain. Just below the K. of P. hall on Main street, (he auto met the motorcycle coming up, and although Mr. Case drove his car Into the right bank In order to avoid the collision, the motor cycle driver, apparently rrattlod" also swung to the same side and the crash was almost direct. The injured boys wore rushed to the Mnlulani hospital in Mr. Case's machine, which although damaged, wa not put out of com mission. None of the occupants of the car were hurt. ison The Ornheu Rumor That Cohen Syndicate is En deavoring to Eliminate Competition Maui Public Liberal in Support of Movies Orpheum Makes Repairs. The possibility of a combination being effected between the manage ment of the new Valley Isle Theater and that of the Walluku Orphoum, was a rumor current this week. It is understood that negotiations with this object in view are now in pro gress. In case such a scheme is car ried out it will mean tho closing ot the Orpheum once more and the con tlnuance of tho Maui Theater, which lately combined with tho Valley Is'r, and which is to lie closed with the opening of the now play house. Tho popularity of the movies on Maui is one of tho surprising things of tho day. It is estimated that in Wailuku alone approximately $500 per week is spent in admissions to tho two theaters. When it is remem bered that this is not for any single week, but Is kept up with much reg ularity, it tends (o take tho edge off any talk of hard times. Including all the play houses on tho Island, it is likely that ?750 por week is not at all an extreme estiniato of what Maui people spend in this one form of amusement. Tho Walluku Orpheum made a num ber of repairs this week which have very noticeably improved tho pictures shown. Tho projecting machine was overhauled and a new screen put up, with perhaps ono hundred percent better results than before. Tho Mary Pickford play, "Tho Eagle's Mate" on Tuesday night drew a crowded lwuce, and was well up to tho standa:d of this popular artist's work. DR. ROTHROCK BEGINS HOUSE KEEPING. Dr. A. C.

At the end of the pier an elaborate building is to bo constructed for amusement purposes. Tho enterprise Is a private one, Bockus declaring he stands ready to put it through if per mission is granted. The matter lias been taJien under adviscmont by the board. Hawaii Represented at Congress. Philip L. Bice, of Kauai, represent ed tho Honolulu chamber of commerce nud the Kauai chamber of commerce at the Good Bonds Congress held in Chicago last week. A report is ex pected from him on the subject upon his arrival homo In a few weeks. Crushed by a Truck. John Neves, a dray helper, fell from a loaded truck beneath the wheels of the heavily loaded vehicle, sustaining injuries which resulted In his death. The accident occurred in Honolulu last Thursday. o Music Contract Let. Jonah Kumalao has been awarded the contract of furnishing a stringed orchestra for the Hawaii building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. His bid was $5S00 for the ten months, and five men arc to be supplied for this price. It is probablo that seven players will be engaged at an addi tional cost of $1500. o Mauna Kea Scaled. Frank Ignaclo, Oliver Kinney, and Manuel B. Ollval. all of Hilo, suc ceeded in making the ascent ot Mau na Kea, the highest elevation in (he Pacific, one day last week. Tho up per porlion of (he trip was very dif ficult on account of the heavy snow and had to be made afoot. Crushed Between Wharf and Ship. Second Mate O. Arnoson, of the oil tanker Santa Maria, nearly lost his own life last week in saving a ship mato from drowning at the Mauna Kea wharf in Hilo harbor. An oiler on tho vessel, who is said to have been drunk, fell into tho space bet ween the wharf and tho vessel, and would have drowned had not Arensen jumped In after him and passed a rope around his body by which ho was hauled out by bystanders. Before he could get himself out, however, the vessel swung into the wharf crushing him against tho structure. Ho was un conscious when finally taken from tho water, and rushed to a hospital. It Is believed, however, that ho will re cover. o Soldiers Building Road. A largo force of soldiers are at work on a military road over tho Wal anao mountain range through the Kolckolo pass. When tho work is fin ished it will also make access to the Walanae district easy from tho Lei lehua plains, and will be of much value for commercial as well as mili tary purposes. o Wood To Leave For Exposition. H. P. Wood, secretary of tho Hawaii Promotion Committee, who has been in tho hospital for a month recover ing from a serious operation, will leave for San Francisco on, January 5 to take personnl charge of Hawaii's building at the Exposition. Mr. Wood, who is chairman of the Hawaii board of commissioners to tho big show, will bo residence commissioner for tho ten months that it will be open. Malihini May Be Judge. According to a' report in Honolulu J. W. Thompson, assistant 1J. S. dis trict attorney, Is to bo appointed cir cuit judge to succeed Judgo William L. Whitney, after March 10. On that dato llr. Thompson will havo been a resident of tho Territory for one year and (hereby eligible to appointment. New Department Proposed. o A committee of tho Hilo Board of Trado has drafted a bill for presenta tion to the next legislature which would create a Territorial "Depart ment of tho Comptroller." Tho duties of this office would bo to check up tho county auditors and treasurers. It has also been suggested that tho ollice of county auditor lie abolished altogether, tho duties of that officer being performed by a deputy .of the comptroller. o May Contest Will. It is gonerally understood in Hono lulu that tho will of tho late Thelma Parker is to bo contested shortly by tho mother and other rolatlvos of tho deceased. Mrs. Smart left her en tire ostato to her husband and her husband's people.

Great was the lamentation on board the ferryboat Claudlno, on her down tiip last week. And cause enough the ship had lost her New Year's pig. On her up trip last Tuesday, the crew received the pig on board at Knhulul a tine 200-pounder, the gift of (he Inter-Island company. It was to have been carefully "finished oil" until New Year's, and then, while the boat tied up at Kahulul waiting for the return of the Oahu excursionists, a great feast was to havo been the feature today, with luaucd puaa as the piece do resistance. But fate otherwise decreed; for while tho crew was busy with the boats at Hana, last Wednesday morn ing, his porkshlp took 'a flying leap through an open freight port and swam shore. All Hana turned out to help corral the runaway, but he readi ed the friendly shelter of the cane fields, and now the hunt seems hope less. It is reported that business in Hana district lias come to a stand still, while the pig hunt still keeps on. Rex Hitchcock, Harvard Graduate, Probably Nov; in Europe Helping to Care For Wounded in Great Conflict. Hex Hitchcock of Honolulu and late graduate of Harvard University, the 1912 football tackle and later Har vard's pitcher, has joined tho Bed Cross corps and is probably in active service now at the front. News reached here yesterday that lie had left Cambridge for New York with E. L. Barron, '13, a former pres ident of the Harvard Lampoon, to join tho Bed Cross ranks. It is possible that they may bo chosen to drlvo or accompany the am bulance automobiles that Harvard is planning to send to tho Bed Cross in Europe. They have been assigned to the department which is in charge of Gardner Hale, '15, another editor of tho Harvard Lampoon. Hitchcock and Barron corresponded with him before leaving and it was through his influ ence that they decided to join in help ing wounded soldiers. Hitchcock entered tho Harvard Law School this fall and Barron had boon working on a Boston paper, Several Harvard seniors who will bo graduat ed at midyear have planned to go abroad, and it is possible that the whole contingent will form a Harvard division and uso tho four ambulances sent by the college in tho Bed Cross work. Bex Hitchcock is the son of II. B. Hitchcock of Molokai. Tho young man was very popular at Punahou, from which institution he graduated and in whoso athletics he took an active part.

There havo been more Island turkeys sold this year than ever before, and thcro are still a few to bo sold at Now Year's. A great many very small turkeys were sent to tho market, which weighed not more than six pounds. These wore rather hard to sell, and it docs not pay the producer to ship such small turkeys. At least 100 more medium sized turkeys could havo been sold. Ducks, geese, and chickens sold well, hut prices were not quite as high as they usually are, duo to largo ship ments. A great many birds received during the week were in very poor condition. It docs not pay to ship this class of stock. Tho price of hogs has not advanced.

Practical ly all the oranges, both Island and California, havo been sold. A ship ment of Christmas trees from Hawaii did not sell as well as expected. These trees were most loo large for family use. There would be a good market for cedar trees in soy tubs. We havo had many calls for them. A largo shipment of Irish potatoes is selling slowly, due to tho low price of California potatoes.
