According to the reports from Ko-
hala the crop in that section will run
very high. The cane is unusually
full of juice and while it is not quite
as rich as might be desired, it will
yield a much larger per cent. of SUI
gar than under ordinary circum-
stances. 1t is stated that the Kohala
Sugar Company, of which George
Watt is manager, will run up to about
5000 tons, or over 1000 tons above
the estimate, while all the other
plantations in that section are ex-
pected to do very well.
In the Hilo anG Hamakua districts
there has been too much rain in the
past three months to mean very large
crops, yet good averages are expect
ed and the cane looks very fine in
deed. If Cry weather follows for the !
rest Of the season it may mean bet
ter results than have been expected |

Suggestions for Celebration.

gard to the celebration of the Fourth

gest that a display of fireworks would
be very proper and desirable feat
ure of the celebration" said Lorrin
A. Thurston. last week
81 see that at present the arrange
ments for the evening consist of the
giving of public ball Now, while
1 personally do not care to go to
balls, / have no objection to the idea
lit is, as a matter of fact, very
good one-but / would like to point
out the fact that ball provides en-
joyment for only few hundred peo-
pie at the most, whereas the rest of
the population, if this is the only feat
ure of the celebration in the evening"
will have nothing to enjoy in the
evening. By all means give the bali;
it will be enjoyed by the young peo-
pie, but why not provide for the en-
tertainmenl of the great majority of
the population by having display
of fireworks at Mooheau Park, which
can be enjoyed by every one, rich
and poor, old and young, alike"

have greatly contributed to the fame
of the Hawaiian Islands as a para
disc for tourists The Legislators GER
tainly selected a very appropriate
date for such a fool action,
