OF MAUI ISLE
General
Notes From
of Baldwin
Rex.
the Isle
(Special Correspondence.)
Miss Edith Alexander of Oakland is
again visiting her brother, Mr. F. A.
Alexander of Kaluanui, Makawao.
Mr. D. T. Fleming has resigned his
position as teacher in the Makawao
school and is now engaged as an as
sistant to Tax Assessor W. O. Aiken
of Paia. Miss Eva Smith takes his po
sition in the Makawao school.
There have been several changes re
cently in the Spreckelsville plantation
office. Upon the resignation of Pay
master Allen, his assistant, Mr. Keeney,
took his place, and Mr. Sparks, stenog
rapher and postmaster's clerk, was pro
moted to Mr. Keeney's former position:
and now Mr. Nat Black of Oakland, a
recent arrival per steamer Ventura, is
stenographer and postmaster's clerk.
There is a rumor current that some
of the cattle owners of Maui soon in-
!tend a "grand coup" in the shape of a
beef trust. Two of the large ranches
have put up the price of beef to 13 cents
'per pound, they retaining the hides and
! tallow. This is to butchers; consumers
will be forced to pay 18 cents. The
manager of Mr. W. H. Cornwell's Waio
huli ranch during the past week has
been buying up all the cattle he could
purchase from the "small" owners
of Kula and Makawao.
Last evening, the 8th. the Makawao
Debating Society held a meeting in the
Paia church parlors and discussed the
I following subject:
"Resolved, That the Nicaragua canal
! should be built according to the treaty
as amended by the United States Sen
ate." I Messrs. W. C. Crook and F. E. At-
i water led the affirmative side and
Messrs. W. O. Aiken and E. Copeland
I the negative. The arguments of the
latter side won the favor of the audi
ence. The next subject selected is. "Re-
I solved, that capita! punishment should
be abolished."
Weather Stormy most of the week;
i regular trades blowing.
j East week an agent of the Honolulu
Iron Works visited the proposed site
'of the new mill for the Maui Sugar
Company at Huelo with a view to set
ting up the plant upon its arrival.
Saturday afternoon, the 2nd, the
Maui News received its first wireless
telegraph dispatch from Honolulu de
tailing the wreck of the Rio Janeiro,
and on the 4th issued a tiny extra edi
tion publishing- an account of the disas
ter. The News should be complimented
upon its enterprise.
Apropos of .the wreck of the Rio it
was rumored over the Island that Dr.
Ed Armitage of Wailuku was among
those who had lost their lives. This.
of course, was not true.
Recently some unknown epidemic has
been afflicting the chickens in upper
Makawao. Within a day or two Mr.
E. H. Bailey lost thirty-five of his
choicest fowls and Mr. James Anderson
fifteen. The disease seems to have no
symptoms. The fowls die rapidly witn-
out any warning.
On the afternoon of the 8th the La
dies' Thursday Club met at Mrs. W. S.
Nieoll's, Hamakuakopo.
The "clam chowder party" that was
to have taken place at Maliko Gulch,
Haiku, last Tuesday night was indefi
nitely postponed on account of stormy
weather.
Some of the residents of Paia will
give a "St. Patrick's dance" at Paia
hall next Saturday evening, the 16th.
Invited guests are requested to Wear
something of a green color.
Tonight (the 9th) a grand ball will
be given in the Wailuku skating rink
for the purpose of raising funds for the
Wailuku kindergarten. The Waihee
I Quintet Club will furnish the music. A
free train will run to and fro from Paia,
Spreckelsville and Kahului. W. E. K.
Maikai is one of the chief promoters of
the benefit.
Maui News Notes.
Maui has been favored this week with
a number of April showers, some of
which would have drowned a cat.
It is to be hoped that the Legislature
will make an appropriation to repair the
Makawao roads, as they are sadly in
need of much work.
Captain Keola received by Wednesday's
Claudine the hats and leggings fct
Company I, also a snare drum and bu
gle. Charles Brown has been appointed
bugler and Alfonso Jackson will be the
drummer boy. Goo Lip of Lahaina has
the contract to make the uniforms for
the company, and they will soon be ready
for delivery.
Heavy rains prevailed in Lahaina dur
ing the early part of the week, and the
road from Olowalu to Lahaina is in bad
shape. The pali road between Maalaea
bay and Olowalu is in passable condi
tion, but needs some work.
The recent heavy tains have caused the
water of Iao river to wash out the earth
under the abuntments of the "Iao bridge,
and if not repaired before the next big
freshet, the bridge will probably be ren
dered unsafe for travel.
UNLICENSED SALOONS.
Deputy Sheriff Andrews Takes Many
Scalps.
Raids on liquor dispensaries of the
non-government and unlicensed variety
have been much the fad with the
guardians of the law during the past
week, and junketing trips in search
of that which cheers while it inebriateB
have resulted in the accumulation at
police headquarters of a considerable
amount and variety of what is com
monly known as hard stuff. The police
reporter of the Tribune is obliged to
go mostly by faith in asserting that
the liquids confiscated were alcoholic,
for the only evidence which the officers
vouchsafed was a smell of the corks,
and he has not been accustomed to
make his tests in this way. It is to
be hoped that the jury, should any of
these cases come before the Circuit
Court, will fare better.
The victims of misplaced confidence
in their endeavor to turn an nonest
penny include about seven residents on
the Volcano road, of various nationali
ties including the haole; and one man
who lives in the vicinity of Papaikou
and has a light wine and beer license,
which is now in a somewhat precarious
position. It seems that more or less
of the offenders were relying upon
their federal licenses, while others
were perhaps resting secure in the con
fidence that comes from long immunity.
It is not probable that this recent rat
tling of the dry bones in the vicinity
of the illicit sellers is so much due to
the recent temperance agitation in Ho
nolulu and Kansas as it Is to the Intro
duction of a little new blood and en
ergy in the deputy sheriff's office. Hilo
Tribune.
The almost wholesale arrests in Olaa
for violation of the liquor law must
be jarring upon the enemies of Sheriff
Andrews. Probably some of the men
arrested are friends of those who
thought the sheriff was neglecting his
dutv. It's a case of "all things come
to him 'who waits." Hilo Herald.
Early on Sunday morning a police
squad under the direction of Sheriff
Andrews made a visit to Olaa and cap
tured seven Individuals for violating
the liquor law. The raid began at a
place near the railway station and ex
tended to Mountain View. Considera
ble liquor was found on the premises,
as the officers were distributed along
the line and entered the places at the
same time, so that the dealers did not
have an opportunity to communicate
with each other by telephone. Hilo
Herald.
QUITE A WAY OFF.
Hawaii's Prematura Application for
a State Entry.
The Hilo Tribune says: "In view or
the general character of the last elec
tion, and the results attending it in the
character and conduct of our delegate
at Washington, and the proceedings of
our Legislature, the resolution intro
duced a short time ago by the worthy
Representative, Kumalae, to petition
Congress to grant statehood to Hawaii
is certainly a curious, not to say amus
ing, proceeding. That Hawaii shoula
be a Territory with all the political
rights belonging to the citizens of
such an organization seems hardly to
be believed, for never have we heard
of a Territory of the United States un
til now, in which the lawmakers were
unable to transact their business in
the English language, and were as de
pendent upon an interpreter as if they
were a like body of some alien race
suddenly transported to an American
country. Nor have we heard of any
member of even a territorial Legisla
ture, previous to the time of the noble
Democratic-Independent Makekau, who
introduced a bill abolishing United
States regulations, quarantine or other
wise. If Hawaii's legislators do these
things while she is a Territory, what
wouldn't they do when she became a
State? They would probably not only
abolish all national regulations bear
ing upon this particular common
wealth, but start out to frame an en
tirely new constitution for the country.
It strikes us that our local lawmakers
if we may dignify them by that
name need to take heed lest Hawaii
loses some of her present privileges
through their Incompetence, rather
than look for their further enlargement
through statehood."
The Maui News says: "Concerning
the matter of statehood for the Isl
ands, about which the row in the Sen
ate occurred on Tuesday, It is obvious
ly too soon to agitate that question at
present?, and, the Legislature should
waste no more time over it. The Leg
islature should first bend all its ener
gies to the establishment of self-gov
ernment for the Islands, and when
counties, townships, school districts,
road districts, and the paraphernalia
of local government are in running or
der, and we have demonstrated to the
people of the United States that we
are an American Territory with a local
government, and that we are able to
run it successfully, then will be time
enough to ask for statehood, and that
will be quite as soon as we ought
have it."
