ISLAND NOTES.

HILo, Hawaii, May 9th.
| In letter to last weeks "Gazette"
! from Laupahoehoe a correspondent tries
! very hard to be witty at the expense of
HlO on the old, worn out subject, 'Hilo
! Railroad" The writer tries to make
out Laupahoehoe as the garden spot of
| the Pacific, when in fact it has always
been considered the jumping off place
on the island of Hawaii. If, as the
writer says, Loupahoehoe is such a
moral and peace loving community,
what are all the people from that dis
trict doing in Hilo the past week? It's
because the Circuit Court is in session
and large gang of distinguished citi-
zens from that delectable spot, Laupa-
hoehoe Gulch, have been hauled up for
violating the laws gaming, opium
smoking and murder. Truly healthy
place to reside. For over two weeks the
! Court has been listening to these cases,
and tedious work it is. Twenty-four
jurymen were summoned to attend (for-
eigners, etc. 1t is a great hardship for
men to be taken from their business, as
they have this term, and forced to re-
main in HilO for weeks, and by the
looks of things three weeks, trying lot
Of scalawags and listening to a lot of
lawyers trying to make black white l
would recommend the good people at
Laupahoehoe to organize a club for the
prevention of crime, and let up on
''LOngfellOW'' at least for the present.
A few words regarding Hilo. In
speaking of the muddy condition of the
roads in this neighborhood few weeks
ago, it was not my intention to reflect
upon the Road Commissioners. At that
time the roads were muddy, but it was
not the fault OF the present Commits
sioner, "For he is a jolly good fellow"
At present writing | must say the roads
are being put in good condition as fast
as possible.
But why this hulabaloo that the
writer who signs himself "Hiloite'
makes in this weeks Gazette p" The
Chatham street Sheeney who wrote that
dLCICAC II1uOI nave UGH IL is
a well-known fact that he sat up three
nights burning the midnight oil in cook
ing that mess, and it accounts fo1 one of
our sugar mills closing down three days
in order to give this crank rest. l
could tell YOU lots about this racket, but
will not take up any more of your valu-
able space. SLIM JIM.

COL. CLAUS SPRECKELS.
He VIII Make his Permanent Home
in the East.

Next week Mr.. Claus Spreckels will
take his departure from San Francisco,
making his permanent home in the
East. He will be accompanied to Phila-
delphia, which will be his future resi-
dence, by Mrs. Spreckels and the
younger members of his family This
move is necessitated by the large bust
ness interests that Mr.. Spreckels is now
undertaking in the sugar business at the
East. He is investing five million dol
lars in a mammoth refinery, which,
when completed, will be the largest of
its kind in the world. 1t is not surprs-
ing, therefore, that he desires to devote
his own time and give his personal super
vision to all the details of this work.
Mr.. Spreckels has attained his present
prominent and affluent position solely by
his own unceasing work He is a man
who can never be idle. He has a bust
ness aptitude that is possessed by but
few. He has quick perception, a clear
insight into affairs, and a readiness of
Judgment. 1t is such qualities as these
that, with his quick adherence to bust
ness principles, have created his success.
He has been fortunate in his family sur
roundings, and to this, in measure, he
attributes his success.
In his business he has had the adj
vantage of practical experience, and,
recognizing the benefits to be derived
therefrom, he has always insisted that
his sons should have practical training.
The management of all their large bust
ness interests on this coast will now de-
volve upon the eldest son, Mr.. John D.
Spreckels. This gentleman has worked
through the refinery, in every branch, as
an ordinary laborer. He has studied
shipping and commerce both here and
abroad. He has worked on a sugar
plantation, growing cane and erecting
the machinery of their large mill at
Spreckelsvile. He has invented several
appliances which are now in general use
on steamships. The victory that he
gained singIe-handed over the striking
seamen of this port gained him the
respect and admiration of much older
business men in the community, and,
after gaining his victory, the fact that he
permitted these men to resume work in
his employ, as vacancies occur, has
gained for him the respect of the men
themselves.
The name of Spreckels is a household
word in California, and even throughout
the Union. We regret sincerely the de-
parture of Claus Spreckels from this
coast, and we welcome as head of the
business here his son, John D. Spreckels. !
The father knows that he will be worth
lily represented, and that his son will fol-
low in his footsteps. There are many
who could tell of their generosity and |
kindness of heart. Their word is as
good as their bond, and to this fact much |
of their success in business is due. A |
promise given by them is always full
filled, and of how few can this be said
