LET'S HAVE THE BELT ROAD MONEY. TIIK Hoard of Supervisors has told the Governor that the most important item for Maui in the proposed Territorial bond issue, is for completing -the hclt road into the Keanae valley. The Hoard is right in this. Several hundred thousand dollars has already spent, which will he well-nigli wasted, unless the road is carried on into Keanae. For as it stands the road is useless for any purpose, and must deteriorate rapidly if it is not completed. It was carried to its present stage with the expectation that the balance of the money authorized ly the Legislature would he forthcoming. It is worse than folly to slop now. It is not a question as to the merits of the road in question. It is a question of saving money by spending money. Hut the expenditure of the $13.VM asked for does mean more than simply furnishing an outlet to the people of the inaccessable valley. It means a link in what is destined to be one of Maui's greatest assets an auto mobile roai 1 from one end of Maui to the other. TALKING ABOUT OURSELVES. AI.OT of our friends very charitably commiserate with us when we get out a poor paper, on the theory that "news is scarce." It isn't. There is plenty of material here on Maui all the time for a dandv local paper, and when we don't have that kind, it's our fault. We don't want to hide behind that old lie about scarcity of news. Hut we are rather up against it to handle this news. It's a fear ful thing in this age of the world to set up a paper letter by letter, and then to unset it the same way. Hut that's the way we do it. In short, our facilities are not equal to our needs. However, we expict to soon remedy this defect in considerable measure, and to publish the kind of a paper that we want to publislr, and that you want to receive. In the meantime we are doing the very best we can under the circumstances I'Kcnnr.i.Y no where else in the United States was the outcome of the great international polo tournament watched for with keener interest, or were the results more keenly disappointing than here in Hawaii. The prominent place which the sport has attained in the Islands in the past few years, has produced a great following of enthusiasts. To Maui's players, the loss of the trophy to Kngland comes almost with the weight of a icrsonal defeat. Tiikkk seems to be room for much doubt as to the authenticity of the report that the administration is planning to restore a portion of the sugar duty. On the other hand Secretary of Commerce Red field, in a telegram to a San Francisco business house, recently, specifically denied all knowledge of any such plan being considered. I'lVU tourists on Maui this week left behind some JU0. About half of this is up in Makawao at this minute, and all of it is already circu lating pretty freely. The tourist crop is about the best paying crop there is, not excepting even sugar. HooST the Hooster Dinner July 9. Undents Home For Vacation Most of the private schools in Honolulu closed this week, and Maui's quota of young people are mostly home for their vacation. Among those who have arrived are Miss t'leo (.'asr, Miss Oriel Robin son, Miss Monii Keola, Miss Mubel Wilcox and Alfred Wadsworth, from l'unalioii. Miss Mary K.

McCubbin, P. Davidson, and A. Horner, are among others who have recently arrived home. Mrs. Howard Tonight The eutertaiumeiitto be given by Mrs.Klsa Cross I Io ward, Mrs. Kouise Chisholm Jones and Mr. Harry Washburn lialdwinat the Alexander lb use Gymnasium tonight, pro mises to be one of the big successes of the year on Maui. Those who have seen Mrs. Howard's dancing in Honolulu unite in saying her work is most artistic and wonder fully interpretative. After the en tertainment the Gymnasium orches tra will play for a dance to which the entertainment tickets will admit without extra charge. Quail Ordered For Maui During the present session of the supervisors, it was decided to order about 50 dozen quail from the mainland for the purpose of slock ing various sections of the county with this splendid game bird. An effort will also be made to import a few wild turkeys- It was stated at the meeting that the pheasants which have been released in various sections during the past vear, have done remarkably well, and are be coming numerous. m 1 Local Case In Supreme Court The case of C. J. Schoening et al, vs. William Miner et al, on appeal from the 2nd Circuit Court, was argued before the Supreme Court, in Honolulu, last .Saturday. The case is one involving 334.95. K. R. Kevins for plaintiff and linos Vincent, for defendant, conducted the arguments. : L IDISTRIBUT0RS1 BAROL prevents rot, dry rot, mould decay, and protects lumber, timber and woodwork, etc., against Insects, Vermin, Worms, Teredos, etc. BAROL prolongs the life of wood work, no matter if the woodwork is placed above or below ground or water. The application of BAt.OL is economical, saving cost of material and labor due to repair, replacement and rebuilding. BAROL improves the tensile strength and toughness of timber and woodwork and permits the use of smaller sized, inferior or dead timbers. Woods which were once considered worthless can be treated with BAROL and made to last practically as long as any others. BAROL being composed of oils of great wood preserving quality amalgamated with certain Copper Compounds checks wood destroying bacteria and fungi. BAROL being fatty and viscous, volatilization is reduced to a minimum. BAROL therefore remains water repelling and withstands atmospheric or climatic action for years. BAROL having high specific grav ity (1.132) penetrates deep into the pores of the wood. BAROL prevents swelling, shrink ing, warping and checking of the wood; it can be applied to constructions where the wood is sub jected to alternately wet and dry conditions. BAROL possesses a slight odor which soon disappears after application, it remains liquid, is always ready for use and will keep any length of time. BAROL is neither inflammable nor poisonous; it is not injuri ous to the fibers of the wood; it with stands acid, brine and vapor. BAROL stains the wood a nut brown shade; it is easily and inexpensively applied to new or old timber. BAROL is suitable to impregnate Canvas, Cordage, Nets, Sails, Tarpaulins, Tents, Wagon Covers, etc. DAPHT against TERMITES DAIUL and TEREDOS BAROL against Termites and Teredos is specially prepared to protect timber against White Ants, Teredos, etc. Directions of applica tion for BAROL against Termites and Teredos are the same as for BAROL. One Gallon of BAROL Covers About - 300 square feet of dressed lumber 200 rough lumber 100 shingle roof the second and following coats re quire considerable less. When the wood is immersed the covering capa city is reduced on account of heavier impregnation. In cold countries BAROL should bo stored warm dur ing winter.
