HONOLULU WILL Be THERE
\ COLONY NOW PREPARING FOR
THE KLONDIKE.
William cassie Goes on Tomorrow
TO Make all Arrangements-Ot
to Follow Next Month.

William cassie and John +. Scott OF
Kauai, DR.. Lndley of Hawaii II. j..
Austin of Maui, William Armstrong,
William II. Cornwcll and August Con-
radt of this Island, are making ar
engagements to leave for the Klondike
gold fields within the next two or
three weeks.
They may be joined by Dan Vida
and one or two others from this city.
The party will go in together. Mr..
cassie is at the head of the eXpedi-
ton. He will leave on the Belgic to-
morrow and will leave San Francisco
Immediately upon his arrival for the
East. where he goes on a hurried bus
mess trip. The entire party will meet
early in April. somewhere in the
Sound country, probably at Seattle.
Mr.. cassie goes to the Klondille in
the interests of a good number of Is
land people who have the greatest
faith in his undertaking. All have
some money in the company. but no
one has any considerable amount, for
Mr.. cassie would not accept it..
1t is Mr.. Easse's intention to do .
general mining business. He will take
number of experienced California
miners with him and will send pros
pectors to all districts in the Klon-
dixie. He will be prepared to go INFO
other enterprises, whenever and
wherever he finds an opportunity 10
make money.
There was meeting on Saturday
afternoon of the stockholders in Mr..
Eassies company. There are twenty
two gentlemen interested, and they
have put $1,000 at the disposal of the
prospectors. Each share holder is en-
titled to one-twenty-second of the pro-
fits in the expeditions: if it proves a
failure he merely loses what he puts
in, and nothing is said.
Mr.. Eassie's eastern trip will be for
the purchase of a diamond drill. with
which he hopes to accomplish much
in the frozen ground.

Her playing is clean. her bowling firm,

and those who are not up in sharps

four numbers and each was faultless-

The amateur orchestra directed by
Wray Taylor assisted in making the
evening success. Their playing was
harmonious and each public appear
ance shows a great improvement in
their work. 1t is not generally known
that Mr.. Taylor left a sick bed to at
tend the concert.
Mrs. Woodward and Paul Tsenberg,
two local favorites, took part and their
singing was greatly enjoyed. Both
were in splendid voice and won raptu-
rous applause.
Miss O'Moore will give another con-
cert on next Saturday evening.
