HONOLULU TO
PAY DIVIDEND
TWENTY-FIVE CENTS PER SHARE
FOR STOCKHOLDERS ON MAY 10
HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED.

A dividend of twenty-five cents per
share has been declared by the Ho-
noluu plantation, payable on May 10.
This is the first dividend which has
been paid by this stock which is not
listed in this city or the San Fran
cisco exchange. 1t is the only plan
tation in the Territory which retines
it's own sugar and the expense OF
building a plant for this work has
kept the dividends down, when other
wise it might have been among the
high payers.
In speaking of the present crop OF
the plantation this morning Manager
Ross stated that he hardly expected
to overrun the estimate of 10000 tons
of refined sugar to any great extent.
He believed that the product of the
refinery would about reach that figure.

Mr.. II. *. Gregory, A. G. p A. OF the
Santa Fe Railway Co., at San Fran
cisco, writes under date of April 10th,
as follows:
Replying to yours of March 22nd,
regarding the Elks from Salt Lake GO
ing to Honolulu next February; | un-
derstand 250 or 300 of them will make
the trip and they now have the matter
up with the steamship lines trying to
arrange to charter a steamer. They
want to plan to make a thirty day trip
the expenses for which are not to eX-
ceed $500 per capita, which is the
amount they spent on their trip to Los
Angeles last year. Mr.. Cathcart OF
the Oceanic S. S. Co., tells me he is in
communication with these people and
hopes they will definitely arrange
to go to Honolulu"
In letter just received from Mr.
Virgins, secretary of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, occur the fol-
lowing lines
Understand you are having a great
number of visitors this year, you had
double the amount if we had had a
line between here and Honolulu. We
are still working at it, but are becom-
ing faint hearted. Our people do a
good deal of talking but there is no
money to back it.
I'VE are putting every effort possible
on consolidation, if this succeeds we
will soon have Harbor Town and the
monied people will see the necessity OF
increasing the present travel
The outlook for a good summer ira
vel is most encouraging.
Respectfully submitted,

1t was considered almost certain

that true bill for murder in the first

were four or five witnesses on hand to

BEATING
THE CABLE
BUSINESS MAN PUTS MESSAGE
ABOARD ALAMEDA FOR DELI
VERY EN- ROUTE

A Honolulu business man has mat
ter of important business on hand in
which the interests are San FRANCISCAN
as well as Honolulan. He wanted GER
tain mainland information and he
wants it by Monday next at the latest.
He wrote out a message to the San
Francisco parties, but found it would
cost forty-fivce dollars to transmit, by
cable He did not want to spend that
much money if he could find cheaper
avenue and so he hied him to the wire
less Office. There he was informed
that a transmission from Kahuku dl-
rect to the coast could not be guaran-
teed.
An idea struck him and he inter
viewed the wireless operator aboard
the S S. Alameda Yes, said the lat
ter, he could plant the message in San
Francisco when the Alameda was two
days out of Honolulu. That would be
plenty of time for the local business
man and he so arranged.
For this he paid about third of the
cable rate, but he leaves his cores
pondents at the other end to answer by
cable at full rates.
He will get his reply in time if folks
in Frisco are prompt and if the Ala
media does not fail to transmit his mes
sage and it remains to be seen if his
idea of economy is well based.

erwise known as All Fat, An PAX and
Wong Fat. The dead mans identity
is linked with three separate names
of All Sing, Chui Kwai and Chez Kwai.
Another case in the grand jury's
hands is that of Hakoda, a Japanese
held for shooting three others nam
ed Takashita, Kubo and Kaitsu at
Aiea on April 25. All of the victims
are recovering, which is so much the
better for the man who shot them.
Chinese merchant who bought
some of the loot from Peter Naval,
the lately detected burglar of resi-
dences, is also under investigation by
the grand jury.

was $500. Naturally the figures are
very satisfactory"
One after the other the various
plantations Of the Territory are MAX
ing such showings that it is certain
that in almost every instance the
crops will run far over the estimates
made for the present season. This
morning the good news arrived from
Maui that the Wailuku Sugar Com
pany would produce about $4,000 tons
this year. the previous estimate being
10000. AS this company is now pay
ing a three per cent monthly dividend
and has its affairs in the very best
of condition, the stockholders will nat
urally reap rewards.

JEWISH PASSOVER.
Anniversary Of Flight Out Of Egypt
Being Observed Here.

The Jewish holiday OF Pesach, or,
as It Is more commonly known, Pass
over, one of the most notable holidays
in the Jewish calendar, started Mon
day evening at 8 o'clock The year,
according to the Jewish calendar, is
the five thousand six hundred and
sixty ninth.
The Passover will be observed here
by the Jewish population. The fast
will be observed by local Hebrews
for the seven days through which the
holiday extends. and nothing viii be
eaten in the Jewish home except the
unleavened bread. For the first two
days and the last two days the relig
ious Hebrews will not do any work
either.
There are many peculiar customs in
connection with the fast of Passover.
One Is the playing Of a game in which
the members Of the family hunt for
the unleavened bread, which is hid
den in some part of the house.
The holiday celebrates the flight
Of the children of Israel from their
bondage in Egypt. The head of the
Jewish household is supposed, accord
ing to traditnon, to array himself in
the robes in which he expects to be
attired when at death he is laid away
and then to read to his family the
story of the fight.
Beyond the Observance Of the holi-
day in the home there will be services
at the synagogue.

trees on wild land under private own

owner, If such restriction is for the
purpose Of benefiting all the people by

on the power of the legislature to make
laws for the defense and benefit of the
people. provided they are not In con-
