THE RASPBERRY
MADE WELCOME

The Hilo Board of Trade IS effort to
establish market for the wild rasp-
berries of that section, resulted in their
sending $50 baskets down by last Sat
urday's Kinau, which found ready
sale at fifteen cents II 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,
could have been placed. The hotels
and clubs wanted them, but there were
not enough to go around.
Benson Smith & Co. advertised fresh
Oaa raspberry favorlng to their soda
water; Mrs. Annie Kearns wanted all
she could get for making preserves,
and Wahiawa cannery made inquiry
as to how many could be had and
what the price would be, with view
to keeping the cannery busy between
pineapple seasons.
Altogether the "infant industry" has
made quite commotion for n young
ster.
There win 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

Among the four Congressman who
arrived from the mainland on the
Crook Sunday is Hon. James M. c.
Mckinney. He Is 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. Wher
seen at the Hawaiian Hotel last night
and asked on what particular subject
he was seeking information in regard
to this Territory, he said:
'The main subject into which wish
to inquire Is one which was brought W
in the second session of Congress, when
a bill was introduced providing for the
refund of rs per cent. of the revenue
derived from this Territory by the Fed
eral 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
up with the matter Of Statehood for
Arizona, New Mexico. Oklahoma and
Indian Territory. and the pressure on
this subject was SO great that we were
able to accomplish but little else. In
the second session the refund matter
was brought up, and the only reason
that II was not reported favorably to
the House was the fact that the com.
mittee did not feel that We were well
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 he
use any influence on the committee To
prevent the bill from being reported
favorably. We want to become ac-
quainted 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,
than by visiting the various sections
OF the country for which Legislation
must come before US.
Il understand that the tax rate here
now IL heavy and that the taking away
the revenue by the Federal Govern
ment means that the Territorial Goy-
ernment must Increase the rate OF tax
alton In order TO make needed public
improvements. Wo wish to have this
matter laid before us clearly In order
that We may understand the situation,
There Ia 10 "A certain degree a proee-
dent for the refund Ia the case Of
Porto Rico and the Philippines, but
other conditions are Involved and the
situations diner, We do not care Ia
this without careful examination, and
The committee AID not feel Justified IN
making favorable report until u waa
assured lhat the conditions had been
more carefully eanYasaed"
