should be. and at least $200,000 of that amount must be secured 
from some other source than current revenues in order to get it' 
done in this generation. 
The belt road of East Maui runs through all but two of the 
Maui plantations, the Wailuku Sugar Company, the Kihei Plan- 
tation, the Kipahulu Sugar Company ? the Kaeleku Sugar Com- 
pany, the Haiku Sugar Company, the Paia Plantation Companv, 
and the Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar Company, the latter 
being the largest in the world. 
This road also passes through the four recently organized rub- 
ber plantations at Xahiku, on the windward or northeast side of 
the island, where thousands of thriving young rubber trees may 
be seen on either side. 
Outside of the belt road, the most important main roads are : 
t. The Paia-Makawao road, 6 miles in length, 2 miles of 
which have been macadamized during the past year, and one 
mile and a half relocated to reduce grades to 5 per cent, and 6 
per cent. 
2. The road from Makawao through Kula, and the Kula 
Homestead road, leading through the corn and potato lands on 
the slope of Haleakala, and connecting with the belt road at Ulu- 
palakua. These roads both require considerable regrading. 
From Makawao runs the road to the top of the enormous crater 
of Haleakala, 5 or 6 miles of this being wagon toad, but too 
steep to be comfortable, as far as Olinda, the balance being a 
horse trail, 8 miles in length, on a 15 per cent, grade, which is 
marked every 500 feet by guide posts to assist travelers finding 
their way in the fog, which often prevails between Olinda and 
the summit. From the summit there are two very rough and 
steep trails leading down into the crater and along its floor to 
the Kaupo Gap, and thence clown to Kaupo. 
A favorite trip, for both island people and tourists, unsur- 
passed anywhere for the grandeur of its scenery, is from Wai- 
luku through Paia and to the summit of Haleakala, where the 
night is usually spent, then down through the crater, and out 
through the Kaupo Gap down to Kaupo, from there to Kipahulu 
and Hana, over steep zigzag trails that were built over a hundred 
years ago, under the direction of the ancient Hawaiian chiefs, 
then on through the beautiful tropical forests and immense gorges 
and rushing streams of the windward side of the island, through 
Xahiku, Keanae and Huelo, to Paia, thence by train back to 
Wailuku. 
There has also been completed this year, partly by the Ter- 
ritory and partly by the County, a road up the celebrated Iao 
Valley, about 3 miles in length, which leads to the table land in 
the valley long famous for its beautiful scenery. This table lar.d 
is but an hour's ride from the center of Wailuku, and most of the 
distance can now be made by carriage. Many people walk from 
the end of the carriage road to the top of the table land, which is 
less than one mile from the end of the wagon road.
