the time when the chutes have been
blocked and the hardy sons Of toll
rested, while the chutes were being
cleared. 1t is pleasure with these
men, who have grown up in the
work and familiarized themselves
with it.
The Hui Poola Society had a
very. successful term during the
first year and not a few were en-
abled to begin the purchase OF
pieces of land and build little homes
with their first years savings. An
other year opened auspiciously,
but the second season Of prosperity
was doomed to be ofshort duration.
The members started in with light
hearts looking forward with high
hopes to the time when they would
make their second years drawings
FROM the treasury. Being always in
demand. especially when merchant
men were loading with sugar, or
when sugar had to be 'trucked"
to a warehouse to be stored, the
Poolas were almost always en-
ployed and bank deposits were not
infrequent.
After the Society had been run
ming smoothly for about six months
the revolution of January II, 1898,
broke out and the Society went
to pieces. Pukila, Palau aud
two or three others, principal
men in the Society joined the
rebels. The result is we'll known.
Pukila was shot in Manoa Valley
by the Government troops and the
others are wearing striped suits and
may be seen walking towards Oahu
Jail every evening.
The remaining members of the
Paola Society are still employed on
the city front, scattered among the
employees of the different local
steamship companies. They
will not reorganize until
satisfied among themselves
that all political trouble is perma-
nently pau. To suggestions that
they reorganize they reply that
they fear their motives might be
mistaken or misconstrued and
trouble for them follow.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
aud Collapse.

The Ahahui Poola, a society OF
dock laborers was organized be-
tween twenty and thirty years ago.
, The number in the organization at
that time was 500. Henry Water
house, Puiehaka Wood and Others
were there leaders. The men
wear uniforms of white with black
sashes and ribbons on white hats
bearing the name of the society.
All turned out in full force at every
royal funeral being assigned to
drawing the catafalque bearing the
dead. The first royal funeral in
which the Poolas took part was
that of Leleiohoku.
The organization had officers.
Mr.. Henry Waterhouse acting as
president and treasurer. Each and
every member deposited twenty
five cents weekly in the treasurer's
hands. The society met in the old
lyceum. During the smallpox
plague which visited Honolulu
and caused such devastation,
the Poolas contributed $500
towards the keep of the unfortu-
mates who were placed i'll quaran-
tine at Kahakaaulana, where the
the immigrants are at present quar-
antine.
Another charitable act the Poolas
did was at the time Of the great
lava flow on Hawaii, when the flow
travelled to within ten miles of Hilo
town. The society contributed
Several hundred dollars to aid the
people who had been made home
less and destitute.
This organization continued till
about ten years ago when the
Poolas through some misunder-
standing, cut adrift from Mr.. Water
house and the society busted"
The Ahahui Poola Society re-
organized about two years ago with
thirty active members. The organ
izaticn had officers, the same as the
old society. They also had a treas
ury and each member had an ac-
count in the bank. Every one was
allowed to deposit as much money
as he desired. The hui had rules
and regulations and was on much
the same basis as the Seamens'
Union of San Francisco.
The members, who were all
healthy, strong young men were
employed as dock laborers, and
their services, when there was any
hurried work to do, were greatly in
demand so much so, that extra
pay would be held out as

The cleanest, brightest safest and really
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the incan-
descent electric light. safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the Office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at ,nce; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
SO near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and i take nU more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tel
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

that The Crusher and the three roller mill to

steam to drive it.
THE CRUSHER is strongly built,
the rollers are made of solid steel rings

WN. q. IRWIN q Co., LID, HONOLULU /:
GENTLENEN-The mill has been running dur
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists of three sets of two roll
lers, 80 in. dia. by ~ in. long, the shredder
discs being 3 II. in. long, driven 10y an
automatic engine ii in dia. cylinder by IL
in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
as " Is possible Tor cane 10 lie, having been
subjected TO a severe drought during the
whole period OF its growth, and growing on
land with trade wind exposure. Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
above cane, proves il to be just what our
mills required, the shredded cane being better
prepared 10 have its juice extracted than for
meriy after passing through the first mill.
ibe hrst mill is now allowed TO open 9-l6 IN.
instead OF x in. as formerly, so that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, than
u Formerly did the second, and this without
.ne oia tlmed groaning, choking, and strain
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past " days,
as per statement attached, has averaged 35
per cent ON the total juice from the cane.
The trash from the last mill is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied
mt ch OF 1t resembling saw dust, Il contains
as per statement 80 per cent of moisture and
makes good fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands degrees Brix. so that the moisture
in the trash is of 8 per cent. sugar solution.
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken to keep them
from blowing of, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was ON.
BY the use OF the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary TO
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
hrst mil, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial JOB. and lhould cause little or no
trouble. as 1t is subjected 10 but light strains.
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has been
very materially mproved-obtaining
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
