Jupiter Pluvius has paid frequent at
weeks; in fact, we are having too much
of a good thing.
During the bright intervals Mauna
Loa has showed her snow-capped slopes
and afforded really grand picture
white, glistening and well. worth a long
journey to see, especially in the full
moonlight.
From the Volcano House one has also
splendid vista of snow, Mauna Kea
with its craggy peaks being even more
grand than its twin sister.
Pele is pursuing her fiery avocation
with increased vigor, and the night
scene at distance of twenty-five miles
is simply superb; the reflection OF each
livid spout, the halo and the flicker
ing flame OF the whole is terribly weird
and interesting, amply repaying one for
leaving II warm bed-even at midnight.
The officers OF our local Annexation
Club have been active in the propaganda
in West kau. Over dozen new con-
verts are registered since New Year;
some of the signers have been Royalsts,
but knowing their erstwhile hopes are
gone, have become wise in their own
generation and accepted the inevitable.
Mr.. Fennel engineered subscription
luau, held on the Goth in the warehouse
OF Brewer & Co., Punaluu; he reports
everybody hungry, and that most all got
their moneys worth, those who evaded
filling up in solid way. Between the
buying OF eatables and the damage to
utensils, really there is no money to be

by did quite good business in its own
particular line.
Residents of this section are strongly
OF opinion that the two places OF public
accommodation should have a license
granted them and thus obviate scandal
such as recently occurred at the Lee
House.
A new movement has been started in
this remote part of Hawaii and wide
field is open on each island; some
natives belonging to the District Church
gathered at Punahu, Sunday last, and
with the aid and counsel of some white
men founded reform society called the
"Kau Association for the Reclamation OF
Fallen Women" Success is assured ii
earnest workers is any guarantee.
Efforts will be made to establish foot
ing in Honolulu in the near future.
DIR. Capron has started a large nur-
sery of coffee plants. He intends to re-
plant on his Kona estate.
Mr.. Podger, of Honolulu, is making a
business stay with us.
Two Celestial employees of Pahala
plantation have been sentenced to six
and three months each for smoking in
the canefields and as this is a new de-
parture it may check the danger from
fire.
Appropos OF this trial it may be re-
marked that it was conducted in a coffee
shop, and all who were interested in the
proceedings spoke OF the necessity OF
providing a more suitable building for
judiciary purposes. A small court house
and couple Of cells could be erected
for 5000. The court should have more
appropriate surroundings than dirty
cups and plates and the attendant odors
OF feeding place.
On the 9TH the STAR printed an inter
view with Superintendent Rowell, who
stated road should be built into Puma
Let the Minister of Interior finish thu
road between Hio and Pahala first, thel
one can drive from Waiohinu right into
Hilo. About two miles of highway re
main unfinished, the foundation beinj
in and grass grown; bridge is rottinl
because a few dollars are not available
for its erection. A remonstrance on thi
subject is TO be addressed to the Interio
Department asking that $4,000 be ex
pended on this missing link OF roadway
James Kauhane, the vice-president q
the last legislature, recently told you
correspondent that he had repeated
urged the then Queen that her ma
course would land her in the pit of de
struction, but she insisted that she kne'
her own powers and did not mean t
part with any prerogatives; in fact
meant to get more. QuI VIvE.
