Pitts school closed the last week in
May, Just at the beginning of the fruit
season. This is a busy time for the
boys and girls in our locality. because
every one, big and little, has to help
harvest the fruit. I wonder how many
of our city cousins realize how hard
the country boys and girls have to
work during their spring vacations?
We start at o'clock and work hard
all day, only stopping to eat lunch The
fruit this year was plentiful, but in

Mondays sun rose bright and fair

OUR YACHT HAWAII.

The possibility that the Trans-Pa-
rihc Yacht Race may finish during
the final days of the Atlantic Fleets
stay in port promises happy combi-
nation of events which is balm for
the irritation resulting from the in
ability of Pacific Coast yachts to start
on Kamehameha Day.
With three yachts from the Coast
entered, there is no doubt of the
course to be followed by the Hawaii
Yacht Club. Our yacht should be
put in condition as speedily as pos
sible and sent out to win the race
which should be easily done.
The experience Honolulu has had
in connection with this yacht race
has not been free from some disap-
pointing features. The yacht has
cost more thap expected and the race
has not been pulled off in the one
two-three order that arouses enthu-
siasm and keeps 1t to the proper
pitch. But the value to the commu-
nifty of performing Il task of this
character and carrying it through to
success in spite of obstacles, cannot
be overestimated.
1t pays to do things. The yacht
at twice the original price is good
investment for the Territory of Ha-
wall and particularly the people of
Honolulu, who have been the prime
movers in building and equipping the
craft.
Something has been gained when
the little city of Honolulu, in the
midst of the Pacific, can SET the pace
for the Pacific Coast. Having done
it once. We will do II again.
Hawaii's representative vessel is
one of which every man. woman and
child should be proud, and especially
so when the Nations great Fleet of
defense is in port.

both leaped to their feet. The latter
took issue with the Judge regarding
the construction to be taken from

wanted the Judge to explain whether
or not his decision was based on this
certain construction.

ney said he didn't like the discour-
tesy of his worthy opponent.

Hon. Theodore A. Bell, whom the
California Democrats have endorsed
for temporary chairman of the Ma
tiOnal convention at Denver, was the
Democratic candidate for Governor
at the last State election. Mr.. Bells
candidacy represents Il demand for
recognition of the West and partic-
ularly the Pacific Coast. 1t is safe
to assume therefore that he will have
the support of delegates from this
Territory. All things being equal
the delegates to the Republican and
Democratic conventions should give
their support to candidates of the
