and directors of the Hilo Dock Com
pany held a meeting last Monday in
the offices of the First Bank of HiIo and
transacted important business IN con-
nection with the financial and con-
struction phases of the big improve
ment. The meeting confirmed the sup
Elementary contract made with the Ter
ritory binding it not to take over the
dock until after a period of five years.
This deal was made in order to facili-
tate the floating of the dock bonds, the
men who are to furnish the money not
caring to advance the same for a short
er length Of time.
The contract for building the dock,
made with the Hawaiian Engineering
and Construction Company was also
confirmed and it is thought actual work
will begin by the 10th of the month

the work will arrive in Hilo Novem-
Der 10Th. The metal for the dock will
arrive by the Roderick Dhu In the
meanwhile.
The money to be realized by the com
pany from the sale of bonds will be
| SIS, 900, which will be furnished by ISL
and capital.
The directors of the company We're
also authorized to close a contract with
the Hilo Railroad Company under the
terms of which all the freight handled
! by that road will also be handled by
the new dock company. This includes
besides the Puma and Olaa sugar, the
freight of several other large concerns
and brings the dock company an addi-
tional valuable asset.-Tribune.
WILL GIVE UP GARDENING.
Two white men who have been en-
gagged in truck farming in Kaumana
for four years past have decided to give
up and return to California. They say
that the first cabbages grown by them
were so large that it was necessary
to use an axe to cut them. Afterwards
they grew smaller with each successive
planting until now they cannot grow
one as large as a baseball. The men
have enough fertilizer with each crop
but it seems that the plants, when quite
4 ~ n orc fnoIra -. It'll
fly which obstructs development. Pine
apples thrive well and reach an average
of seven pounds each. Up to date no
pest has attacked their plants and the
men say that after an experience COW
ering a period of four years during
which they paid great care and atten-
ion to soil they have decided that pines
and bananas are the only ruits that
will thrive and that the returns from
those are not sufficient to warrant their
remaining.-Herald.
WON THE MOCK ELECTION.
j. Castle Ridgway, Republican dis
trict committeeman, introduced a vot-
ing innovation in the schools his year
which should become the regular prac-
tice each campaign. He enabled the
school children to vote upon the re-
spective tickets in the field for honors.
The election was held last Friday in
the schools at Hilo, Mountain View,
P~apaikou, Haaheo, Onomea, Hakalau,
Honomu, Pepeekeo, Pohakupuka, Lau-
~pahoehoe, Paauilo, Kaapahu, Honokaa
and Kukuihaele.
The total vote cast by these young
Americans was 749, of which 491 were
for Cupid and 25S for Wilcox. The
school children were provided with
printed ballots and they went through
with the process of voting with the
same sense of dignity and display of
decorum shown by their elders last
Tuesday. They were allowed to vote
without any electioneering from old
people and their collective ballots show
a great preponderance of Republican
sentiment in the rising generation.
The Republican senators Desha and
Paris received 452 and 40S votes respec-
lively. Pua and Woods received 21s
and 249 respectively while the independ-
ent candidates received less than 10(
each. The school boys also elected the
Republican candidates for the House
with a whoop. Lewis received 40
votes, Kauwila 40S, Patty 401 and PFitch,
ard Ala. Fernandes led the Home Ruls
ticket with 23S yotes.-Tribune.
