des,i1ed 20 supply iillo with liuuld re-
freshmen and baths. The appropfis-
ton for iie purchase was paesed by
the Legislature two years ago. esti-
mates Of the amount required we're
sent down to the Interior Department
one year ago last December These
estimates became pigeon holod In
Rowells whiskere and naturally were
never heard OF again" The next
April Mr.. Nannatta was In Honolulu
and enquired about the pipe. he then
heard Of the loss of the estimates. He
went through the Rowell meadow with
a bull-rake and followed this up with
a curry-comb. but failed to find his
original estimates. lie came back to
Hilo and made some more estimates
and forwarded TO the pigeon-hollng de-
partment These managed to survive
and In the course of six months the
pipe was ordered just as II touched the
top market price, about 30 per cent
above what II could have been pur-
chased for when originally ordered
from Hilo. Hence II took all the ap-
preparation to buy the pipe and there
is nothing left to lay 1t with. Accord
lngly 1t will not be laid, but 1t will con-
tinue to lie where 1t has been landed,
for anywhere from two to ten years,
according to circumstances. Such is
the finauciering of Rowell. Is II any
wonder that the people of Hilo are
driven TO strong drink and become
mobs, when they can't get water?
Athletic Exhibition.
Jackson Hearde, the energetic CO.
median, is to give the Hilo people one
more show, next week, before his de-
parture for Honolulu. 1t seems there
is young man on the Conemaugh who
thinks he is something with the gloves
and a match has been arranged between
him and Johnnie Simpson. The affair
will take place at Long wharf next
Tuesday evening; ten rounds. There
will be some preliminary bouts be-
tween local amateurs. for which see
advertisement and posters. The adj
mission will be 81 straight; no reserv-
ed seats. G. M. Smith of the u. s.
Army, who is prepared to run up
against the local man, has something
of record. He has TO his credit a
six-round contest with Tom Johnston
of Indiana and a five-round bout with
Jack Ryfie of Ohio; also draw in a
bout with "St. Joe Kid" in New York.
Young Peoples Society.
The Y. p. S. C. e. gave social in the
church parlors on Tuesday evening
last, which was we'll attended and a
very pleasant affair. Various devices
were adopted for producing a circula-
ton of the victims, who naturally on
such occasions persist In lining up on
the four sides of the room and posing
as statues of Rameses, signs of life be-
ing carefully suppressed.
A general interchange OF autographs
was effected by means OF cards furnish
ed for that purpose, upon which every
one got everyone else to write his
name. This took about an hour, and
was followed by guessing contest up
on various freaky hooking articles. each
one of which was supposed to symbolize
some work OF art. For example a
match floating In a cup OF water was
the swimming match" or three cop
per pennies were common sense"
(Which by the way Is hardly work Of
arD. Lots wife" was represented by
a bag of salt, etc Some people guessed
some OF them. Most people didn't
There is very little of the imaginative
in the Hilo make up. "A primrose on
the rivers brim," etc. The usual in
digestion provoking refreshments fol-
lowed vocal and instrumental music by
local artists, and the affair broke up at
perfectly proper and Christian
hour. On the whole the Y. p. s. G. 10.
are more successful at this sort of thing
than their elders.
