The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-01-04

AGSESSSSEESEE
feient and progressive secretary of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee, visited
Los Angeles and Pasadena few weeks
ago be aroused considerable interest
in this proposed line. l hear that he
also found people in Seattle and the
north who wanted to establish a line
from there. 1t looks to me as though
this steamship proposition would turn
into the old case of the early bird get
ting the worm, and if Southern Cali
fornia wants the line and the trade she
had better hang upon her wall that ex-
pressive little motto, "Get busy, ana
it's noble sequel, "Do it Now.
PAsADENANs IN THE ISLANDS.
Pasadena is quite well represented in
the Hawaiian Islands.
Out at Wahiawa live Mr.. and Mrs.
Byron o. Clark, the former brother
of Mrs. Charles Gardner of East Col
orado street. The Clarks formerly re-
sided here but went to the islands sew
eral years ago, and it was Mr.. Clark
who first conceived the idea of raising
pineapples at Wahiawa, at present
more than twelve hundred acres OF this
delicious fruit being the result of his
endeavors. The Clarks' two daughters,
Addie and Mary, are both married and
living not far from their parents. Miss
Mary Clark was married less than a
year ago to Mr.. Ellsworth.
Mr.. Clark IS only son, bright boy OF
nineteen, has taken up claim of gov
eminent land and in order to hold it
is living in little cabin on the place
He has planted a cocoanut grove and
expects to have valuable piece of
property within few years. He and
his young sister go into Honolulu each
day to Punahou College.
Living not far from the Clark g plan
tation in a tiny vine -embowered bach
elor bungalow are William Mccormick
and his son Arthur who formerly re-
sided here and are well known to the
earlier residents. Also at Nahiawa live
the Thomas family who formerly lived
here and in Los Angeles. Mrs. Thomas
is sister of Mrs. Wesley Shaffer and
of David Permar Of this city.
In Honolulu live Mrs. Mary Clark
and her son DR.. Francis E. Clark, who
has one of the best dental practices in
the city. They have lived there for the
past twelve years. DIR. Nichols, for
merly of this city, is also located there.
Connected with the advertising de-
partment of the Hawaiian Star is
Walter Pittenger, former Pasadena
boy, and president of last years aca-
demic class of Throop Institute. Mr..
Pittenger expects to return in the fall,
and will go into the advertising bust
ness in this city. Miss Mae Nichols,
who formerly lived here and was for a
time bookkeeper in the News office,
was married in Honolulu this past
spring to Mr.. Bergen, a man whom
she used to know when she was con-
nected with the Advertiser office in
Honolulu.
When the Korea stopped at Honolulu
en- route to San Francisco on her last
trip went down to the dock to see Mr..
and Mrs. B. o. Kendall and family
who were on their way home from
their Oriental trip. On another occa-
sion, while interviewing Retiring Gov
home from Manila to Washington, [
saw Victor Marsh just returning on
the Hongkong Maru from his Oriental
trip.
One day on a Waikiki-bound car 1
sat across the aisle from Dr. and Mrs.
Horace F. Day of Los Angeles who
were among the passengers reefed on
the Manchuria on their way to the ORR
ent. With all these touches of 'local
COLOR Honolulu seemed quite like home
after ALL
HAWAIIANS AND POLITICS.
The native Hawaiians take great in
terest in politics and during the re-
cent election for county officers there
were great doings in the political arena.
Every night for weeks before election
day there were held open-air political
meetings, sometimes several each
evening in various parts of the town.
Republicans, whose candidate for con-
gress was Prince Cupid, of the blood
royal, fought bitterly with Democrats
whose candidate was an = American.
Home Rulers and Anti-Saloon League
advocates added their share, and with
it all the town was given over to po-
htical pandemonium. To mallhIn1,
as tenderfoot'' is fondly called, the
scenes presented were novel in the ex-
IRENE, and the conditions presented an
interesting study.
