ANCIENT RUMOR COMES
TO LIFE ONCE MORE
Report iiIO Road Has Brewer
Sugar Contract Promptly
Denied on Change.

The publication and prompt denial
Of a report that the rise and activity
in Hilo Railway Company securities
were due to an agreement whereby the
company was to get the freightage of
the Brewer & Co. plantations along the
Hamakua coast, has revived an old dis
cussion among stockholders both Of the
Hilo Railway Company and the Inter
Island company.
1t is said that some interesting nego-
tiations have already been held with
view to settling the peculiar problem
of the handling of freight on this long
coast of plantations. The sugar is now
loaded into Inter-Island steamers lying
off .the coast, and at some points it is
necessary to send the sugar down by
wire cable. The Hilo Railway Com
pany is now extending splendidly
built line all along the coast, and the
prediction is freely made on all hands
that it will get the plantation freight
business when it is able to handle it.
At the same time, the most important
plantations are said to be tied up by
contracts to the Inter-Island Steam
Navigation Company, which carries the
sugar by steamer to Hilo, Honolulu and
other ports. These contracts do not
extend very far ahead, and it is pre-
dicted that the near future will see
the railroad company carrying all the
Hamakua freight into Hilo. This is
what Hiloites are banking on to make
their city more than twice as import
ant as it is now, and it is this coast
business that will make the new Hilo
wharf a busy one.

JAPANESE PAPER
sT|RS UP ROW
Editor Sheba Makes Reply to
Charges Printed in the
Nippu Jiji.

Taking advantage of friendly criti-
cism of the banquet prepared at the
Hands Around the Pacific dinner, the
Nippu Jiji has seized upon the oppor-
tunity to start another attack against
S. Sheba, editor of the Hawaii Shinpo,
and has stirred things up considerably
in japanese circles.
Such charges as that the promoters,
Alexander Hume Ford, Sheba and others
made 1865 profit from the dinner are
advanced, based on nothing stronger
than a joke in the English pa
pers aimed at the particular brand Of
kau-kau served at the banquet.
''The Japanese attendants" says
the Jill, "agree that the viands were
not worth ten cents meal"
Mr.. Sheba's letter follows:

Honolulu, Feb. %. 1912.

Honolulu, Feb. 2s, 1912.
Mr.. s. Sheba,
Editor Hawaii Shinpo'
Sir.-In reply to your open letter in
both your paper and Advertiser of this
morning, should say that your chal-
lenge has nothing at its foundation, in
any respect at all. The literary trans
lation of the main part of an article
which appeared on the Nippu Jill and
that caused your open letter this morn
ing, is attached herewith. The article
itself is self explanatory and needs no
more word about it.
1t is needless to say have no least
intention to prevent the object of the
Harmony Banquet in any way. IF you
will take pain to peruse our editorial
about that cosmopolitan meeting on last
Saturday, it will convince yourself
about our attitude toward the move.

1t is well known matter, not only to
me, but to the most part of our Japan
ese community, what is your real mo-
tive about this concern. Taking the
advantage of the occasion, you want to
mislead me before the public eyes, es-
pecially among the white people. You
are indeed very smart tactician, Mr..
Sheba, but, in the mean time, I can
not help signing to say: "You have one
heart, but double faces"

BEGIN WORK ON
H|LO WHARF SITE
New Soundings Made in Kuhio
Bay-Rushing Completion
of the Plans.

New soundings are being made in
Kuhio Bay and upon the proposed site
for the new Hilo wharf, in order that
the PLANS and specifications now being
worked up in the office of Superintend-
ent of Public Works Campbell may be
completed. The new soundings were
necessary owing to the site originally
selected by the Hilo Railroad Company
not being altogether approved by the
harbor commissioners.
The Hilo Railroad Company, which,
under the terms of the agreement re-
Gently entered into between it and the
harbor commission, is to extend its
tracks to the wharf and operate them
as common carrier, will not take any
immediate steps to lay tracks. When
the wharf is well under way and near
ing completion the tracks will be ex.
tended from the breakwater section.
To lay them will be a matter of less
than two or three months.
Congress has appropriated $4,000
for dredging Kuhio Bay. This will open
an entrance to the new wharf. This
news came by cable during the week.
General Bixby of the corps of engineers
approved the dredging project. The
recommendations of Major Wooten,
corps of engineers, who is in charge of
all army dredging work in the Hawaiian
Islands, were first approved by the
head of the engineer department. The
plan of General Bixby was to divert
$4,000 of the $1,700,O0O originally ap,
propriated for Hilo harbor and apply
it to the Kuhio Bay work. This has
been done.

Literal translation of the main part
of the article.
John Smith on Advertiser says that
/ am glad that the speeches at the
dinners were so interesting, but I never
before sat down to an equally rotten
repast under the name of a dinner. The
promoters profits ought to have been
about $3.50 per head and so forth. Our
Japanese who were present were not
more than thirty persons, but when we
count all people there will be three
hundred fifty persons and as John
Smith says, if the profits was $1.90
FER head, the promoters will get the
sum of $665.OO. But we think this re-
mark is rather too severe criticism, and
how greedy they are, we can not believe
they made such wanton profits out of
it. But it is truth in the same time,
that all presents were accusing the din
ner and those among our Japanese side
were in the same opinion, saying that
such dinner is inferior to ten cents
meal, etc.

seven years after graduating from West

he can count his four years at the Mill

Colonel Brooks active service for -four
