THE RASPBERRY
MADE WELCOME
Honolulu Gives Hilo's Infant
Industry a Cordial
Reception.

The Hilo Board of Trades effort to
establish a market for the wild rasp-
berries of that section, resulted in their
sending 800 baskets down by last Sat
urdav's Kinau, which found a ready
sale at fifteen cents basket, two for
a quarter.
Most of the berries came in good
order: but it is a very delicate fruit
and some few baskets were not in con-
dition to use fresh, although they were
all right for Jam. 1t is evident that
the berries should be picked late
Thursday, or better still, early Friday
morning, and gotten into the steamer
cold storage room as speedily as possi-
BILE.
Great interest was taken by many
people in the experimental shipment,
and much larger number of berries
could have been placed. The hotels
and clubs wanted them, but there we're
not enough to go around.

she could get for making preserves,
and a wahiawa cannery made inquiry
as to how many could be had and
what the price would be, with a view
to keeping the cannery busy between
pineapple seasons.
Altogether the "infant industry has
made quite commotlon for young
ster.
There will be more berries next Sat
urday, and with more experience IN
picking and packing, it is expected
that they will come in even better
shape than the first berries did.

INTERESTED IN
THE REFUND BILL
Hon. ]. A. C. Mckinney Talks
of Measure important
to Hawaii.

Among the four Congressman who
arrived from the mainland on the
Crook yesterday is Hon. James NJ. c.
Mckinney. He is a member of the
House from the State of Illinois and
a member of the House Committee on
Territories. He resembles the late
President Mckinley very much, not
only in name, but in face. His fea-
lures are very similar TO the martyred
President and particularly SO in regard
to the upper part of his face. When
seen at the Hawaiian Hotel last night
and asked on what particular subject
he was seeking information in regard
to this Territory, he said:
.eThe main subject into which wish
to inquire is one which was brought up
in the second session Of Congress, when
a. bill was introduced providing for the
refund of IS per cent. of the revenue
derived from this Territory by the Fed
eraI Government, in the shape of pub
lie improvements. In the first session
of the House the attention Of the Com
mittee on Territories was chiefly taken
IN with the matter of Statehood for
Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, and the pressure on
this subject was so great that we We're
able to accomplish but little eise In
he rot
was brought ZIP, and the only reason
that it was not reported favorably TO
the House was the fact that the COM
mittee did not feel that We were Wen
enough informed in regard to the con-
ditions here to warrant Our making
such a report We are here to become
informed.
IN regard to opposition to the re-
fund bill by Speaker Cannon. can say
that never to my knowledge did ne
use any influence on the committee to
prevent the bill from being reported
fa.yora bly,. We want to become ac-
ouainted with the conditions here and
believe that we can not spend our time
better in an off year, when there are
no political campaigns to look after,
of the country for which legislation
must come before us.
Il understand that the tax rate mere
now is heavy and that the taking away
the revenue by the Federal Govern
ment means that the Territorial Gov
ernment must increase the rate of TAX
alton in order to make needed pubic
improvements. We wish to have TINS
matter laid before us clearly in order
that we may understand the situation.
There is to a certain degree a prece-
dent for the refund in the case or
Porto Rico and the Philippines, put
other conditions are involved and the
situations differ. We do not care TO
form a precedent in the matter IKE
this without careful examination, and
the committee did not feel JUSTIFIED IN
making favorable report until 1t was
assured that the conditions had been
more carefully canvassed."

Home Day.

In family where there are two or
three daughters grown, or nearly SO,
it is a good idea to set aside one day in
each month to devote to something
special in the way of beautifying the
home. Sofa cushions may be made,
table covers, dresser Scarfs, lamp
shades, furniture painted or polished,
a coZy corner fitted up, ETC., as need
required. Pleasure is thus obtained
by this plan in at least three ways
Planning what to do on this day, the
companionship and unity Of ideas are
necessarily made stronger, and the
satisfaction of having made the home
more beautiful andattractive. South

| QIt seems that he was SO honest thai
when shortly after he was inauguratet
l offered him convict to work at the
mansion, the Governor, with an air oil
apparent superior virtue, said that he
would not accept 1t, and that he was
going to run an honest administration,
according to law, However, it was
not very long before he changed his
idea of honesty, and called on me to
assign him convict to work at the
mansion, which direction L obeyed.
Later, his idea of honesty became
still more elastic, and he soon made a
requiSition for and lad two cOnvictS at
work, instead of one.
This is a sample OF the conduct of
the public official who brings charges
OF incompetency against NE. Another
sample of Lis ideas of honesty is found
in the transactions that he has had
in purchasing horses for himself in
connection with purchases OF horses
for the state. He bought, on one
trip, black mare named Maud"
which he shipped in the same car with
the states horses. 1t is also fact
that he had another horse transaction
in connection with the business of the
state, which demonstrates that he, at
least, was not careful to avoid the APP
pearance OF evil.

bear such u striking resemblance to
