BANANA AGENT.
Ever since the banana growers of
Hilo and vicinity have been shipping
their product to the coast much dis
satisfaction on account of the variation
of price received, have been expressed.
After due consideration and conference
the planters felt that in order to sue
coed they must, in self protection have
a representative to- whom they could
turn over their shipments. AS a re-
suit q special meeting of banana grow
ers Of the Hilo Agricultural Society
was called for last Saturday afternoon
at the offices of c. Furneaux. Two
propositions We're brought before the
members which received their consid-
GRAFTON. The offer of Mr.. r. l. Lille
was finally accepted and he was unani-
mously elected the authorized represen-
tative and the planters will turn over
to him for shipment their entire crop,
regardless of weight or size, as far as
marketable.-Hawaii Herald.
TRAIN wRECKING.
Early last week some cane cars on
the tracks of the Hilo Railroad near
the Peck road started wild down the
track and We're wrecked at Mountain
View, where they jumped the rails. An
examination of the chains by which the
cars were anchored showed that the
metal had been cut and the cars wreck
ed maliciously. Manager McStocker,
for the Olaa Sugar Co., to whom the
cars belonged, and Superintendent
Lambert, decided to offer a joint re-
ward for the arrest Of the person who
committed the crime. Deputy Sheriff
Overend took charge of the case and
with Officer Hayama began an investi-
cation which resulted in the arrest Of a
Japanese woman who was believed to
know who did the work. Within forty
eight hours the husband was under ar
rest and he has since made a full con-
fession of his crime.-Hawaii Herald.
RAILWAY ASSURED.
Arrangements so far made give as
surance of the success of the Kohala-
Hilo railway scheme. Mr.. Peck writes
from San Francisco that everything is
satisfactory there and that he will be
here in time to break ground on July
4. Before leaving here for the coast
Mr.. Peck had subscriptions to stock
amounting to more than quarter of a
million dollars from coast people. His
letters indicate that this sum has been
increased.-Hawaii Herald.
