hardly a month going by without
some substantial proof of this fact.
The much talked of sugar mill fol
the benefit of Portuguese and Other
small planters in and near Hilo ha.
become a reality. Judge Lyman is tC
lend his assistance in incorporating
the company, which will be done i'm.
medlately with capital stock Of
$4,000, divided up into forty shares,
all paid up. The name of the new
mill will be, The Hilo Portuguese
Sugar Mill Co. J. G.. SerraO, who has
a large general store in Hilo, will act

A small army, consisting of eighty
seven japanese, was brought into
lilo, Tuesday, from the Pepeekeo
Sugar Co. and lodged in Hilo Jail, to
await their trial for hddLeLe hama.
Their plea for refusing work is, they
don't like the "helpern that assists
the luna, Mr.. Young, who is over
them. Their case came up for trial
on the 29th inst. Owing to some
technical points raised by the defense
the hearing of the cases was postponed
till Friday, the 3lst.
a rather amusing yarn is told at the
expense Of the Portuguese employed
by the Hilo Sugar Co. When the
Registration Board he'd its meeting
at Wainaku for the purpose of regis
tering the names of those who were
entitled and wished to vote, only half
a dozen Portuguese made their appear
ance. Investigating the cause of the
nOn-appearance of the others, it was
learned that rOyalist had been
among them the day before and warn
ed them, if they put their names down
in the book that the Registration
Board had, everyone of them would
have to take a gun and go to Homo
lulu and fight when monarchy was
restored. So they didn't want to re-
gister.
PepeekeO has the reputation of hay-
ing more natives loyal to the Republic
than all the rest of the Hilo district
combined.
The Registration Board returned to
HilO on Saturday. They will make a
circuit Of the island once more before
election day.
The Onomea Sugar Company crushed
the last of the seasons cane on th~
2lst. The sugar book shows a credit
of 9400 tons, a most remarkable WELD
of sugar from the small area of land
controlled by this company. The
average amount of sugar made day
was fifty-twO and one half tons, for
the entire season.
The rumOr that successor to Judge
Austin was to be appointed, has Great
ed general dissatisfaction throughout
this whole district and no doubt all
over the island where the Judge has
so long and faithfully dispensed JUS
tice. If the rumor takes on more
substantial look, there win probably
90 down to our Honolulu fathers one
Of the strongest protests from the
people of Hawaii that has ever been
made by them.
\ dancing party given by Madame
Moore's pupils at the Hilo Court
House on the Goth inst drew forth a
large number of Hilo's pleasures seek

well represented, and many visiting
Honolulu friends were there.
The traction engine recently pur-
chased by J. r. Wilson of the Vol
canO Stables, to be used in hauling
freight to the Olaa coffee plantation
and the Volcano House, made trial
trip as far as the twenty-One mile
post, and the experiment is pro-
nOunced by the owner TO be success
ful in every particular. Predictions
as to making the road impossible,
soaring horses and killing people have
not been fulfilled, and some of the
most rabid are swinging round
and admitting that The road is
smoother than it was a month ago,
and the passing of the engine with
horses is not as difficult as getting
by bullock wagons, freight carts, etc,
PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE.
