A Great Night for the Bears.

]. j. Dunno, assistant United States
district attorney, stated his trepidation
in following Judge Estee upon the
stand. He spoke of the need of per-
petuating the recollections and the
memories and traditions of early life
in California. The strength Of the ma
ton lay in the knowledge of it's early
traditions, and this was especially true
of California. To the pioneers is due
the credit for the Initial stages of the
wonderful development or the State
1t was by them that the rights of citi-
zens were protected; property taken
care of. The law of the Native Sons
did not permit the issuance Of a char
ter for parlor outside the State Of
California, so that a parlor could not
be established here, but he hoped in
spite of that an organization Of Cali
fornians would be effected. He hoped
such club would have the hearty sup
port of every person present, or WHO
had drop Of real California blood in
him.
A. Newhouse spoke of the plans for
the organization of a California club In
lieu of regular chartered parIor of
Native Sons. He desired TO enlist the
influence of the native daughters and
wives of the native sons. He announc-
ed meeting to be held tomorrow ey-
ening in room / of the Elite building
to formulate plans for the club or
ganization.
At the conclusion of the program the
floor was cleared of chairs, the music
struck up dreamy waltz, and the ma
tive sons and daughters gave evidence
of their loyalty to terpsichore. The
dances were long, the waits between
them of sufficient -dura ton for all to
quaf cool lemonades and punches, ana
as arrangements had been made to
transport the Californians to their
homes in the wee, snla' hours of the
morning If necessary. nothing was
hurried. Everybody seemed to enjoy
the spirit of the occasion, and the sec-
ond annual celebration held in Homo
lulu went out at the last dance bril-
liant social success. The committees
were as follows:

NWING to a difference as to the
~ length of the term of contract 70,
fuel, there Is a decided hitch II
the negotiations for the supplying OF
oils for the plantations and of the ISL
ands. The Standard Oil Company in
sists that two years will be sufficien,
for the term, but the planters, or al
least some of them, want five years al
the very least. 1t Is hinted that If
there is any conclusion reached at all
the Standard will be found TO have
won
The conclusion of an agreement on
the basis of two years will mean the
tying up Of the business at a fixed rate
for the fuel for at least three years,
as it would take year to build a
steamer which would be needed for the
trade. The Standard has now one ship
which could be sent around the Horn
for this business, but there would be
two ships needed and the construction
of the second one would mean a delay
of year. 1t would be the plan to have
a ship of at least o,oo0 barrels capacity
which would mean some hard work, in
getting the vessel ready within the time
named.
Meantime. as there seems to be any
hitch at all there Is move being dis
Hcussed by several of the members of
firms which have to do with planta-
tions, looking toward the bringing of
the plantations themselves into the oil
