KAwAIHAE, Feb. 19.-Petitions, poi
and pig met the Governor at every
stopping place through the two Konas.
From the first stop in Papa through
to KaiIua, Governor Carter was greeted
with luaus and a unanimous demand
for various things by the natives, petit
tions serving as the medium through
which their wants were made known to
the government. At Hookena the peo-
pie wanted Governor Carter to buy
lands for them and divide them into
homesteads. They also made the modest
demand that the Territory establish
pineapple cannery at which they could
sell their product at profit. A little
further on came another petition for
government aid to the proposed kona-
Kau railroad, also for an experimental
station and for help in bringing IN
white farmers. The luaus We're just IS
numerous as the petitions, if not more
so. and the Governor was compelled to
keep up to his old record OF SIX feasts
a. day through the Konas.
LEAVING NAALEHU.
Sunday was spent by the Governor
in looking into lands at Naalehu which
fhe Hutchinson Plantation desires to
lease. Dinner Sunday evening was TAX
en- at the home of Ex-Manager Hewitt
and early Monday morning the Gov
ernor left in a driving rain for Hoo
kena. The forty-five mile drive was
made over an a-a flow, a short stop
being made at two o'clock at Papa at
the home of Deputy Sheriff Jos. Hall,
where a luau was served. F. Buch-
hoitz's farm is located just above Papa
and although only a brief stop was
made Secretary Atkinson rode over and
inspected the farm, which was found TO
be a model one in every particular. AT
Papa quite a number of natives were
gathered and they presented petition
for the Improvement of the roaG be-
tween Hoopuloa and Niiolii which the
recent storm had washed out. This is

A DANCE AT HOOKENA.
Hookena was reached about o'clock
Monday evening, the Governor being
greeted by groups of natives all along
the way. A meeting had been arranged
for the evening but because of the
storm it was postponed until the next
morning. The party was entertained
at Hookena by Judge S. Kaai. The
same evening a dance was given by
the young ladies of the town in honor
of the Governor and the festivities con-
tinued long after midnight. A feature
of this occasion was the singing of a
hula composed in honor of Supt. Coop
er, who had built a wharf for the people
of the village. 1t was called the XII
pa Hula" and the wharf has been
named "Kupa Landing" in honor of
Mr.. Cooper. NJ
THE MEETING.
Representative w j. Wright was
chairman of the meeting and introduced
the Governor. The Governor spoke
briefly, saying that he was pleased TO
see so many children present ana
said that but few years back he with
Secretary Atkinson, Representative
Wright and Senator Paris were also
school children like those before him.
S. Lazaro then presented petition
on behalf of the people of Hookena ask
ing the Governor to provide lands for
them, and saying that as the home
steads were all taken the government
should purchase more lands. The petit
ton also requested the government to
establish a pineapple cannery for the
farmers in the district who were grow
ing that fruit.
| The Governor replied at length, say
ing that he could not buy lands for
them because of the lack of revenue.
He believed that the conditions for the
growing of pineapples were more favor
able in Kona than anywhere else, but
said that the government could not es-

The fight was bitter from the opening
Of the campaign. and the Republicans
sought to scare voters into the support of

Members of the Kerens faction fought
the ticket because Crowther was NOM
