question of the Constitutionality of a
clause OF the Organic Act is raised and

heirs of the Kamehamehas to whom
they originally did belong Kameha.

these lands to the kingdom, and the

MOVING PICTURES

Harry Werner and Eddie TAFT, the
two young men who recently came
here from San Francisco for the pur-
pose of opening a moving picture
show, have decided to make a try at
the proposition despite the fact that
the $5 per day license fee at first was
dampener on the project. They
are fitting up a hall on Bethel street
just below Hotel street, and expect to
open for their first performance on
next Tuesday evening. The show is
to be a popular priced affair, and if
it makes good will be a permanent
institution in the city.

HILO, Jan. 7.--Iapanese merchants
of Hawaii, and especially In Hllo, are
fully alive to the possibilities and flu

of the completion of the breakwater.

be the first thing. There are three

and we can clean it and grade it at
our mill here in Hilo. 1t is proposed
to form a company with $4,000 cap

be held by the Japanese merchants

come in with us. 1t should pay we'll

NEW ENEMY TO
THE BOIL WEEVIL
OLMITO PLANTERS DISCOVER
PARASITE WHICH DEVOURS
BOIL WEEVIL LARVAE.
Samples Sent to Government Ento-
moIOgists to vestigate-ImpOrt-
ant to Cotton Industry, if New In
sect can be Propagated in Sufficient
Numbers.

A discovery has been made lately
by some of the planters in the Olmito
neighborhood, some eight or 9 miles
from Brownsville, which is creating
much interest among local planters.
This is a parasitic insect which is
said to destroy the larvae of the boil
weevil.
The enemy of the destructive cot
ton pest has been found in several
instances near Olmito 1t is found
in the cotton boil, feeding upon the
larvae of the weevil, and is described
as small winged insect of whitish
color, and having a small sharp beak,
and being slightly larger than mos
quito On the boil being cut open,
the little insects run very fast to get
under cover.
News of the discovery, which may
prove CT vast Importance to the cot
ton grower OF the South, was OBJ
tanned from W. J. Hodges of Olmito.
Mr. Hodges has seen a number of
these insects in various stages of
growth. The egg, he says. is deposit
ted upon the body of the boil weevil
larvae themselves. Some might
think, from the fact of their having a
beak, that these insects were nothing
but young boil weevils, but Mr.
Hodges says that they are entirely
different in form and color from the
weevil and much smaller, while the
beak is not long as that of the weevil.
Several specimens of the new in
sect have been gathered up by Mr..
Brewster of Olmito and sent by him
to government entomologists to be
examined, with a view to identifying
the insect. If the Olmito planters are
not mistaken. this discovery may
result in great benefit to the cotton
planters of the South. in the event
that the insect can be propagated in
sufficient numbers to supply those
districts which are infested with the
destructive weevls.

IT RESTS WITH BROWNS
VILE,

To any who were present at the
meeting of business men held in this
city last Saturday night or who have
read the report of that meeting in
the Herald, it must be plainly appar-
ent that the continuance of the Low
er Rio Grande Valley Commercial
Club. with its headquarters in this
city. depends upon the citizens of
Brownsville. So far, this very valua-
bic institution has drawn its main
support from citizens of Hidalgo
county. and out of its entire member
ship Of over forty, only a dozen are
accredited to Brownsville The sum
of $4,000 which was pledged to the
support ofthe club was subscribed
mainly by citizens of that county
The value of such club to this city
and section hardly need be pointed
out to intelligent persons. In fact,
II is accepted as a fact everywhere
nowadays that no city or section can
develop properly without such an or
SANITATION as a development club,
OF institution designed for the ex-
Dress purpose of advertising the re-
sources of the town and country, and
of pushing its interests in every way
possible.
That the Lower Rio Grande Valley
Commercial club has done vast
amount of good along this line is too
wen known to need further repeti-
ton. That Brownsville will suffer
and lose out" without such an or
zanization as this. goes without say
ing
The question is just simply this
viii Brownsville DO its part towards
maintaining the club. or will it allow
the club to go?
It viii be to the shame and detri-
ment Of this city. if the Lower Rio
Isrande Valley Commercial club de-
misses because Of failure on the part
s Of its citizens to support it.
A committee of prominent citizens
IS now making a canvass of the city in
pursuance of the resolution adopted
at the meeting Saturday night, for
the purpose of securing members for
the club. 1t is to be hoped that their
effort may not be in vain, that the
citizens of Brownsville may come to
the front and exert themselves in be-
half of their town and country.
Those who are broad-gauged
enough TO be able to see beyond the
end ftheir nose, do not need to be
reminded that one strong, central or
SANITATION like the Lower Rio Grande
Valley Commercial Club is bound to
be a more powerful factor in promot-
