PREPARING FOR CONVENTION.
The Young Mems Republican Club is
considering the question of the enter
tainment of the delegates to the Terri
torial Convention while they are in Hi
10. The convention meets September 1,
and there is a general desire that the
delegates shall remain in the city long
er than one day. 1t is proposed to give
those delegates who attend such a royal
welcome that they will wish to hold the
convention here again next time. There
have been various suggestions made
for mammoth luau, camp fire meet
ing and an open air mass meeting. A
committee consisting of Jas. D. Lewis,
S. L. Desha and Chas. Akau has been
appointed to consider the various prop
ositions and make report at the next
regular meeting Of the organization.
The Hilo Board of Trade has taken up
the question of hotel accommodations.
and where delegates cannot be accom-
modated in the various host elries and
boarding houses, private citizens have
been called upon to give entertainment
to one or more of the visiting dele
gates.
HOTEL PROJECT.
The Hilo Board of Trade has decided
to take up the matter of hotel in Hilo.
The Board Of Trade Will be the promo
ters of the project, which insures the
success of the enterprise. The capital
stock of the company was fixed at $685.
600, the shares to be distributed among
the business men and members of the
Board. z. \. Holmes, president of the
board, and H. Wears, secretary, were
authorized to see what outside support
could be secured. 1t is believed the trans
portation companies running out of Hilo,
and nearly all of the plantation people
IN the vicinity of Hilo will subscribe
literally to the stock. 1t is proposed
to secure entirely island capital and
distribute the shares SO as to make the
hotel cooperative concern. If salts
factory arrangements cannot be made
with Spreckels with view of leasing
the present hotel property, the plan is
to build on some suitable location, for
which three sites have already been
offered. The question of details and
management have not been considered,
but it is understood the right man can
