.|NCENDIARY IN
PEPEEKEQ CANE

Hilo, Jan. pa cane fire Of incen-
diary origin took place at the Pepee-
keo plantation last Thursday night.
The fire originated in a field in the
Kaupakukea section of the plantation,
and about two acres of cane was con
sumed The blaze was discovered at
about $3.50 o'clock in the evening, and
gang of men FASTENED to the scene
and succeeded in putting it out Luck
lily, the dampness of the field acted as
an aid to the fire-fghteTs, as otherwise
the damage might have been consider
ably greater than it was.
Deputy Sheriff Fetter, who spent all
Friday investigating the matter, is
convinced that the fire was started by
some incendiary, as the fire broke out
at three different points at once. The
field is only a few hundred yards from
the plantation camps, and about three
months ago an incendiary fire occur
red in about the same spot. AS there
was no evidence of any trouble with
the laborers the matter was a very
hard one to solve, but Fetter has sus-
picions against certain parties.

Commercial News
BY l.. D. TIMMONS.

Not a few people expected to see
interesting developments in stock cir
cles today. No one seemed to know
just what was to be looked for, but
there seemed to be the usual feeling
that something was due at the week
end. This feeling may nave been due
to the unusually long period which
has elapsed without developing a not
able break or sudden squirt at some
hand. The market today was unrut-
fled, and stocks will be passed on to
the new week in practically the same
state as they were six days ago.

Real estate has been rather quiet

being a particularly large demand for

Mr.. Stanton of the Kaimuku Land
