WILL OPEN i.
NEW PARK
HiIo Prepares for Cele-
bration New Years
Day.

HILo, December 2-There is a plan
on foot to have the new Mooheau PARK
opened with appropriate exercises on
New Years day. 1t is said that Ad-
niral Beckley is willing to do his part
and might even be persuaded TO deliver
an Grafton upon the occasion. 1t Is the
idea to have musical and literary
program. and Leader Carvalho has
composed a march for the occasion
which the Admiral has taken to Homo
lulu to have published. This will be
played for the first time at the open
ing OF the park and is expected TO
cause a sensation, as II is one of the
best compositions of Prof Carvalho.
The trustees of the Hilo Parks re-
quest suggestions for artistically laying
out the grounds at Mooheau and Ram
how Falls Parks. Sometime ago the
government dispatched Landscape
Gardener Young to Hilo for the pur-
pose Of laying out Mooheau and he did
the best he could with 1t. He admitted
that little could be done in the line of
landscape gardening in that particular
soil. The trustees of the parks VIII
now take up the matter and see what
can be done by home talent. Mr..
Richards thinks that the park at Rain
bow Falls presents unusual opportuni-
ties for establishment and requests
persons who have talent that way to
submit either suggestions or designs
to him or any other member of the
Board of Trustees.
WANT THE ATTORNEY.
The Herald has this, ,editorially, 1T
is only in rare instances that Hilo has
had so genial representative of the
attorney generals department as At
torney Lightfoot and never has Hilo
had one 1t cared more to keep in Hilo
for a few weeks. And this fact may
be the reason for the deputy's anxiety
to get away. 1t happens at every term
of court when some one Is sent here to
represent the government there is al
ways a desire shown by the represent
tative to hurry through his business
and get away. The convenience of the
local attorneys is seldom considered
though they feel that they are as much
entitled to consideration as anyone else
In the selection of deputies the attor-
neys generals department might show
little feeling for this part of the Ter
ritory and send people here who will
not be in too great hurry to get away.
To select a Hilo man to represent the
Territory in criminal cases would be
practically out of the question, for the
reason that nearly all of the lawyers
are Interested"
LYMAN NOT A CANDIDATE.
AS the time passes, says the Herald
the number of candidates for the post
mastership in Hilo diminishes instead
of increases. Charles Siemsen, ii APP
pears, has withdrawn upon the advice
of his friends; Henry Lyman says he
never has been a candidate, and Rufus
Lyman says he wouldn't, have the place
under any circumstances.
/. Il. Ray received a wireless from
A. b. Loebenstein last week saying
that he had everything fixed in Homo
lulu and all that was required was an
endorsement of the executive commit
tee of the district committee and from
the Young Mems Republican Club.
Even though Loebenstein had 1t fixed
for Ray, the latter turned up his nose
at the job and would not attempt to
get the endorsements. At meeting
of the executive committee of the Board
of Trade held last week all the names
so far mentioned were discussed and
an endorsement placed upon that OF
Norman Lyman. The executive COM
mittee of the district committee met
last night and endorsed him, and a
meeting was called of the executive
committee of the Young Mems Republi-
can Club for the same purpose and Mr.
Lyman will receive the endorsement of
that body.
1t is thought that Lyman has the
ability to fill the position and as his
record in the sheriff's office is good the
public has no hesitation in endorsing
him. 1t is understood that the plum is
TO go to one who did good service In
the campaign, all other things being
equal. and as Mr.. Lyman fills the re-
quirements in every particular it is
thought he will get the place. Follow
ing is copy of letter received from
II. j. Lyman on Monday:
Kapoho. Hawaii, Nov. &c, 1904.
Editor Hawaii Herald:
Sir:-I am positively not a candidate
for the position of Postmaster of Hilo
Postoffice. You will kindly announce
that fact in your paper of December
list.
Yours truly,
HENRY j. LYMAN.
