HILO NOTES.
Ben. Kuhns, one of the small farmers
formerly in Kaiwill and forced away
by the government, because it would
not build a road to his place, is over
here from Walmea. He has not begun
to farm there and will. not for some
time.
r. I. Lille returned from Hamakua
on Monday. He says that the gulches
along the road are filed with coffee
trees, most of which are loaded with
berries. He is confident of the success
of coffee on this island.
Coming by the Roderick Dhu, which
left San Francisco on May eth, is a
string of three horses and three race
carts consigned to Geo. s. Mckenzie.
Besides these horses, others of known
racing abilities are expected to arrive
before the Fourth of July races.
William Matson writes to ]. w. Ma
son that he is considering the purchase
of steamer suited to the San Fran
cisco trade and that will be adapted to
the transportation of bananas. He re-
marks, incidentally, that the fruit in
dustry seems destined to grow and that
it will be necessary to have someone at
the coast who will protect the ship
pers. The Central American company
keeps thoroughly posted as to the
movement of fruit and ships accord
ingly.
During the past week some fine rec
ords have been made and others
broken during the try outs" at Hoo
lulu Park. The class of horses now in
the stables and to come from the coast
within the next few days guarantees
day of excellent sport on the Fourth.
The Jockey Club is leaving nothing
undone to make the day n memorable
one in Hilo and George Lycurgus ex-
poets to induce a number of Honolulu
people to come up for that week. The
indications are that next Fourth will
be tRed Letter Day" in the history
of Hho.
Captain Elderts and his sens arrived
in Hilo on the Kinau yesterday after
noon, having returned from Alberta,
believing that the Hawaiian Islands
afford a good resting place for a man
who has spent the greater part of his
life in its balmy climate. Captain Ell
ders left here a few months ago with
the intention of demonstrating land in
Alberta, but the conditions were not as
he expected to find them, so he decided
to return to his first love, Hawaii.
d. Lycurgus has gone to Sparta,
Greece, for a much needed vacation.
The high living at the Volcano House,
of which he Is manager, has given him
1 such rotundity of figure that he le-
cided to take a trip to his native heath
and If possible reduce his weight by a
change of scene and occupation.
On May II the fixed red lens lantern
light at Laupahoehoe station, hereto
fore shown from a white trestle 80
feet high, was moved approximately Is

is now shown from a white mast at
the base of which is a service room
painted white, roof and trimmings red.
The light is now "a feet above base OF
structure and As feet above mean high
water.
The Hilo Boarding School will close
on Thursday, June Is. The graduating

Ben Koontz, the small farmer OF
Waimea, who is in town, is sanguine OF
success In his new venture as a home
steader on the Waimea plains. He has
a ten acre lot, upon which he is erect
ing residence and on which he pro-
poses to cultivate corn, potatoes and
other garden vegetables. He says that
anything can be grown on the waimea
plains and he has no fear of the cut
worms, which have been such a sore
pest I'm the past.
