IAUKEA IS
VERY BUSY
Now Organizing
Democrats in
HiIo.

HILO, May 19.-Col. Curtis p. 1aukea
is touring the Island of Hawaii in the
interests OF the Democratic party, and
his smooth, persuasive tongue is evil
IDENTIFY bringing many Home Rulers into
the ranks of the Democracy. At a meet
ing held on Saturday evening in the
Armory Mr.. Iaukea spoke in English
and Hawaiian to an audience of over
one hundred people. natives and whites,
many of whom seemed greatly Impress
ed by the style and vigor of his argu
ments.
He deprecated the feeling of race
prejudice which exists among Hawai-
ians, and warned them that the foster
ing of spirit of antagonism against
American methods and forms of gov
eminent would react upon themselves.
He believed in county government; he
also believed that the Republican party
was responsible for the fact that coun-
ty government was not in existence in
this Territory today and gave that as
his most weighty reason for leaving the
Republican party and his desire to af-
filiate with the Democrats.
Charles NJ. LIE Blond presided over the
meeting, and, as usual, captured his
audience by his sallies of pungent wit
and humor, and an exposition of the
doctrines of Democracy that argues an
exceedingly warm time for his oppo
nents during the next campaign.
When fifty signatures had been OBJ
tanned the club proceeded to organize
and elected as President, Edward Ke-
koa: Nice-President, John d. Easton;
Secretary, David Ewaliko, and Treas
urer, ]. X. Aepiki-Tribune.

A HILO FRUIT FACTORY.
The Tropical Fruit Packing Company
has just completed its factory, which
has a capacity of $50 to 400 cases per
day. The erection of the building and
installation of the plant has been under
the direct supervision of Mr. Maynard,
an experienced mechanic, whose inven
tive genius means dollars and cents to
the stockholders. The whole system of
pressing fruit, boiling and straining of
juice, are from designs furnished by Mr..
Maynard, and promise large results
from the least possible expenditure of
labor
. Mrs. C. n. Arnold of Kona, a famous
jelly maker, is now in charge, and the
company expects to ship a consignment
of jellies in bulk to it's agents in San
Francisco within the near future.-Trib- |

at Brughelli Park last Sunday between

The game between Pepeekeo and the
Unions, however was disappointing
and very onesided. The score is as fol- |
lows: Pepeekeo, IL; Unions, 81. ono

and Beamers Specials are scheduled to
play next Sunday.
PAHOA ORCHESTRA.
Father Ulrick complains that the "a |
Voc Publica'' has been guilty of undue
crit iaiS h
their ability to produce harmonious
strains of music. The Reverend gentle |
man claims that the Pahoa musicians
are so far superior to the Hilo Band |
that they have been specially engaged to |
play at Paauilo, Hamakua, during the |
Feast of Pentecost.-Tribune.
