the Volcano house all afternoon and
in the early evening, and there was an
informal reunion both here and on the
brink Of the crater Old Kilauea was
giving very good display and sever
al parties stayed at the crater's edge
a large part Of the night.
Over New Tourist Route
On Monday the whole round of en-
tertainment was climaxed splendidly
with a trip over the new ''Kalapana
Loop" tourist route, which may be
made either from Hilo or from the
yolcaao-a very beautiful scenic drive
which may be completed comfortably
in DAY. The auto parties came down
the volcano road to Olaa and then
swung into the olaa read through the
Puma district, branching up toward
the hills at Pahoa and running
through the magnificent ohia forest
from which Pahoa mill gets its logs
for lumber. The run through the
forest and down to Kaimu bay and
then Kalapana was made by IL o'clock
for the latest auto, many of the party
tramping around spots of interest at
Kalapana, including the picturesque
and historic tCave of Refuge" Then
the auto-trip down the Puma coast to
Kapoho Henry Lyman's district
was made in short order, and at the
picnic pavilion at Kapoho there was
waiting an appetizing picnic lunch.
This was soon despatched by the hun
CRY travellers, who then visited the
very beautiful grotto at the Warm
Springs, and were then ready for the
run In to Hilo. Most of the parties
reached Hilo by 2::3o.
Farewell at HiIo Is PICTURESQUE
A big crowd gathered on Kuhio
wharf to bid farewell to the Mauna
Kea and her crowd Bedecked with
leis and shouting and singing as loud
" and Observation-Disclosures when
they reached Hilo, the visitors gath
cred on the boat deck and said goodby
to Hilo with many a song and cheer
songs and cheers for Hilo in general
and her hospitahie men and women in
particular
AS the steamer pulled out Juanita,
the Kansas giantess, who was taken
to the Crescent City with the AID Club,
suicide. Her huge, gaily-
dressed form was seen standing near
the rail, with head bent and tear
dimmed eyes rs the Hawaiian band,
also, played sad farewell
Suddenly Juanita leaped
the rail and dove far down into the
water. There she floated while and
unless she was rescued after the
steamer left the bay, she sank into
The deep. 1t appears that she was
broken-hearted on leaving Hilo.
Delegates Unite in Praise
Leaders of the visiting organiza-
tons which went to Hilo from the
other islands agree that the fifth con-
vention accomplished more definite
results than any previous, and further
more opened the. way to other even
more faT-feaching matters OF county
