(Mail Special to The Advertiser,)
HILO, July 22.-J. A. Kennedy's re.
cent statement, made here, that the
Mauna Kea might soon be making two
trips a week to and from Hilo, has
created much favorable comment, and
it is hoped that one of the trips viii
be direct one without any stoppages
between the two ports, even if there
should be a slightly increased charge
for this quick travel on the popular
little steamer.
Kuhio Is Strong.
There is some surprise here at the
suggestion that Mott Smith should be
the Republican candidate for delegate
to congress this year. Nobody doubts
Mott Smith s qualifications, and at the
same time, nobody believes he could be
elected. Kuhio is much stronger on the
island of Hawaii this year than he was
two years ago and he win pull larger
vote.
The weakening of the Home Rule
party will add to Kuhio's IS strength
among the Hawaiians and the native
paper here could do much more to help
some interest in what was, and should
be, published Under the management
of Carl Smith, the party leader on the
Big Island. there is likely to be some
active work done before November.
Street Railroad Talk.
The recent meeting anent the con-
struetion OF new wharves here has
strengthened interest in the street rail
road project because laborers who will
be engaged in wharf construction will
need some way to get to and from the
scene of their daily toll beyond Cocoa
nut Island, and will patronize cars in
preference to the Japanese buses.
Prefers Horses to Horn.
Everybody on Hawaii knows Porter,
the driver of the big four-horse stage
of the Volcano Stables, between Glen
wood and Kilauea. Porter can now be
seen on the box seat of an auto, though
/ at times he still handles the ribbons.
He was asked few days ago, when
in Hilo, if he did not prefer the four
/ INLAND to the auto. Loyalty to his
employers, who now use the modern
transportation machinery, made Porter
hesitate. The question being pressed
several times, Porter finally owned up
; that he would rather be behind good
team than footing horn. And he is
: Rot the only one who prefers the old
} horse to the more modern means of
l locomotion.
Volcano House Mail.
e Postmaster Lycurgus finds that HIS
salary from Uncle Sam has increased
: nearly fourfold since he became host
: at the Volcano House. This is straw
e thai indicates more visitors and more
{ letters written about the greatest vol
canic wonder in the world.
Bob Lydecker and T. II. D. McCona
d chic are doing Hawaii in the latter 4
it auto. They called on Pele and recruit
q ed their appetites last Wednesday ther
going on to Kona.
More of the old Mahogany Com
pany IS plant can be seen in big wagons
on the way from Kilauea to Pahoa.
Most of last week 's visitors to th
volcano were from the States, excep
tions being A. E. Larimer and Loui
Horner of Honolulu.
The volcano is rising again confirm
70 ously, the smoke decreasing and fir
4 increasing. New features are in evi
| dence. Old Faithful is in active opeI
alton and the same men and women G
down day after day to see the changes
On Wednesday afternoon there were uI
ie wards of forty who paid their respect
to Madame Pele, fifteen of them bein
teachers who tramped up from 90 mile
Secretary Dodge, of the Bishop e.
tate, while enjoying a vacation on HI
waii, has been thoroughly inspectin
the Volcano House and its management
He expressed himself to Manage
Denosthenes as more than pleased wit
rly all the improvements made since h
rec Mr.. Dodge, was last here and with e
,sv isting conditions. The new road to IL
- pit is largely patronized by visito
'A- who drive down to the brink in auto
'ut buggies and surreys.
