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 15th, 1908, at 7.110 P. M. for the an nual election of officers and such other business as may be brought up. J. GARCIA, Secretary Maui Wine & Liquor Co. Ltd. . 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.
