HlLO, Hawaii, Jan. 21.-While Gas
par, wellknown Hilo rent chauffeur,
was driving in from the Hakalau sec
ton on Tuesday last he was suddenly
astOunded to find huge branch of a
tree dumped on to the hood of his
car in such way that it broke through
the cover and was deposited across
the machine between the front seat
and the back one. Neither the driver
nor the passengers were injured, al
though it was miracle that they were
not.
It appears that some men were sta
toned along the road with saws and
that they were cutting overhanging
boughs that might in any way crack
and fall across the telephone wires
which line the road. 1t was just as
Gaspar's car was passing beneath that
one big branch was severed and came
crashing down on the automobile 1t
was scared driver and an even more
shocked passenger who came to anchor
on the road with load of firewood
deposited in the car That nobody was
injured is wonder, say those who
took part in the affair Gaspar patch
ed up his cover with wire and streak
ed into town as fast as possible, while
keeping an eye out for more over
hanging boughs of trees.

HURON ASHFORD LOSES
AUTO, BUT MACHINE Is
RETURNED BY FRIEND

Huron X. Ashford, clerk to the first
Judge of the circuit court, rushed to
telephone this morning and called up
the police department. He reported
that his automobile, an Overland road
ster, had been stolen from right un-
der his nose. 1t had been standing
under, the banyan tree near the judici-
airy building, he told the desk ser
geant, and had suddenly disappeared
The person wlo took the car was
soon discovered. 1t was Edward Wa
terman. About an hour after Ashford
had telephoned the police, Waterman
drove the car up under the banyan
tree and got out.
Pretty good car" he remarked, cas-
ually.
Ashford said never a word. Later
he told a couple of reporters that he
had given Waterman permission to
use his car but that 1t had slipped his
mind when he discovered that the
Overland was gone.

big island FAIR
MAYBE ARRANGED
WITH CIVIC MEET
Proposal to Change Date of
Former From June to Sep
TENDER is Taken Up
Especial ssar.Bulletin cOrrsspOndsneeI


HII.O, Jan 2t-Whether or not the
next civic convention will be held in
Hilo at the same time as the Hawaii
county fair is to be decided at meet
ing next Tuesday afternoon when
committees from both organizations
will confer for a second time upon
the all-important matter. The county
fair committee consists Of DR.. III. h.
Elliot. ID. s. bowman and David
Forbes. The civic convention body is.
represented by William Mckay, +. r.
Nichols, r. W. Filler, H. v. Patten and
E. II. Austin.
While nothing very definite was set.
tied at preliminary meeting that
was held in the board of trade rooms
on Tuesday last. il was clearly shown
that while some OF the members OF
the committees are in favor of the
civic convention and the county fair
being held on the same date, there
were others who. for many reasons.
do not think that the two big affairs
should be amalgamated.
Fair in School Term.
The first thing brought out at the
meeting was that the county fair must
be held during the school term and
therefore the month of June had been
selected for the occasion II the fair
were held during the vacation period
there would be no school exhibit and
a lot of interest in the fair would be
killed.
1t is pointed out that if the civic
convention be opened on September
Fl or 2S, the visiting delegates will be
able to arrive on the opening day and
return to Honolulu on the following
Monday. thus giving them almosst five
days on this island and, consequently.
plenty of time to take in the conyen-
ton, county fair and trip to the vol.
cano into the bargain.

At the meeting of the Promotion Com
mittee on Tuesday afternoon, the
members will take UP the plan of hay-
ing campaign of letter writing to
friends on the mainland. The plan
may include one day or one week.
According to those who have the
scheme in mind it is thought that
Governor Lucius Pinkham and Mayor
John 9. Lane will be asked unofficial.
ly to start the movement. The Pro-
motion Committee members believe
that il everyone in Honolulu will
write a letter to someone on the main
land telling them of the good things
to be found In Hawaii, 1t will be a
good advertising feature, and should
result in bringing number OF tour
lists to Hawaii.
Details of the plan will be taken up
at the next meeting of the committee,
and it is expected to become a big
feature of the month in publicity cir
cles. Other cities have held letter
writing campaigns, and they have as
a rule been very successful.

Old Shipmates

Capt. Mosher of HiIo Discovers
Skipper Creelman, Veteran
of Whaling Times
I special star Bulletin Correspondence

HIIJO, Jan. 21.-While in Honolulu
recently, Captain Mosher, Hilo's har.
bormaster, had the luck TO run across
an old shipmate OF his. Captain Creel-
man, who, although 81 years OF age,
Is enjoying visit to the islands. He
is full OF anecdotes of the times
when windjammers were the vogue
and when whales and trade" were
the orlv things thought of by the ship
owners. r..
Away back in 1883 Captain Mosher
sailed the seas in the good slip North
America, of which Captain Creelman
was the commander The vessel Wis.,
tied most parts of the world and Cap
tain Creelman was a well known fig
ure in many ports. He was typical
master of those days and his word was
law. -: T..
II was with great delight that Cap
tain Mosher heard of his old shippers
sojourn in Honolulu and haste was
made to renew the acquaintance that
had begun SO many years ago. The
two talked over old times and Incl
dents until the other pilots of Oahu
began to think that they knew nothing
of the real deep sea-
Captain Creelman noticed that Cap
tain J. r. Macaulay, one of the Homo
lulu pilots, had a sharks tooth sus-
pended from his watch chain, and re-
marked that he had one like it at
home, in San Francisco, and also a
sharks jaw. 81 caught that shark of
Diamond Head in 1862" remarked the
visitor, land that was the first time l
visited these islands. Yes. Honolulu
has changed some since then, sure"
There is possibility that Captain
Creelman may visit Hilo in a short
time from now He told Captain Mo.
sher he remembered when Hilo was
just a small grass house village and
added that he would like to see the
town now.
