HONOKAA ITEMS.

G. B. Fisher, late of Paauio, is now
clerking for NJ. V. Holmes in Honokaa.
Harry Richards horse INDUCED in
runaway Sunday afternoon, but was
stopped before doing any damage to brake
or harness.
The Pacific Mill broke down on the
Pele went to Kukaiau and got duplicate
piece and they were running the next
day.
The Honokaa Mill will begin grinding
in the morning. They have been de-
layed longer than expected on account
of the non-arrival of material for inn
prOvements. All the other mills have
been running for some time, and from
this on each steamer will have full
cargo OF sugar, and will not likely make
SO many trips. The Inter-Island Co.
could do well by putting another vessel
on this coast.
VIM. Hepp, one of our enterprising
German citizens, has received the lum
Der with which to build house on his
homestead in Kalapa. He intends to
build a larger: house than the ma jor-
jority of the homesteaders can afford.
The Homestead Act is one OF the best
things the poor man has had come in his
way, and it is hoped that it has come to
stay.
The Paauhau landing is now complet-
ed, and is the safest and best one in the
whole Kingdom, thanks to the mechani-
lcal Skill and enterprise of Manager
Moore. The incline is of solid masonry
capable OF hosting from forty to fifty
tons at a load, and cost in the neighbOr-
hood of $4,000. 1t would be great &C
commOdation to the public if the kinau
would stop at this place regular. 1t
| would save many rides to kawahae.
The ballots for Honokaa and Waimea
came on the Kinau mail, but in some
way those for Kukuihaele failed to show
| up. Candidates began to get badly
scared about the legality of proceeding
with the election, but the Pele came up
Monday morning and landed a small
mail, including the missing ballots.
Quite a number of copies of R. w.
WilcoX's speech came up on the Ha-
wall and have had free circulation, and
have created much Juror and comment
AS specimen of false and ignorant state.

tainly could not be beaten, is the univer.
sal opinion. 1t should have been printed
in Hawaiian SO that the natives could
have read it understandingly. 1t woulc
have been far better for his party (if any
claims him) had such speech never
been made. Put him in charge of thing:
and in less than one year he will have
the English or American flag flying.
The caucus of this representative dis
trict has been very thorough, and all vo
tiers have had good opportunity to be
come acquainted with the issues to b,
decided to-day. Mr.. w. H. Richard ant
j. K. Kaunamano have held joint meet
ings in every village in the district. Thes
meetings have been of the nature G
joint debates. Ex-Judge Pakiki, who i
also candidate, has taken part in some
of them, but he is not considered much @
factor in the race, and will not poll
very strong vote outside OF Waimea, ant
will probably stand second on the lis
even there.
w. H. Rickard closed the campaigl
last night with an address to the workin
men, at the Lyceum.
To-day came in clear and cool and tn
indications are that a full vote will b
cast, as most Of the plantations hav
given their white men and natives hO
iday. w. IL. Richard will be elected b.
good majority, having captured tn
Portuguese vote in the past week. kau
namano will come in second and Il. Pa
kiki will bring up the rear. On the tick
ct for Mobiles we think that all the indie
pendent ticket will pull through with tn
possible exception OF w. III. Purvis. Nj

signature of man that can hardly al
ford to lie, as saying that he was oppose
: to the Hamakua water ditch, volcan
road and most other internal improve
ments. He is down in Kau and kon

and will consequently lose votes. j. Nj
Horner stands show OF going in 0
that part of the ticket. 1t is though
, that Mr.. Albert Horner will be beate
in North Hilo, for Representative, b
Mr.. Nation, a native lawyer OF recos
nized ability. There has been no wor
