gates on Hand When the
Mauna Kea Arrives

ON the eve OF the convention want
20 say a word or two TO the people oil
Honolulu" said L. w. de Fis.Norton
this morning.
"Hilo is delighted to know that the
members of the Ad Club will be down
at the wharf in force tomorrow morn
ing at 6 O'Clock, with the intention Of
Offering themselves up on the goat
altar We felt, however, that nature
lad already been so lavish to the said
members in that particular body, that
we had a very hard task before US.
However. even nature may sometimes
be improved upon, and Hilo may be
safely relied upon to accomplish the
task she has undertaken. was over
there last week, and when was told
what is going to happen on the wharf
] realized that a brain wave had
swept over even the VIGOROUSLY
bright brains of Hilo's stunt artists.
"Hilo is going to excel even herself
this convention, and those who get
down to the wharf in time to meet
the Mauna Kea are going to be richly
repaid for the trouble of getting out
of bed half an hour earlier than usual.
There is Just one thing to remember,
and that is that the larger the crowd
the greater enjoyment for all, and the
greater effect of the stunt.
ut is a cIackerjack, and my great
est regret Is that have been ordered
to keep 1t strictly to myself, for
have been almost bursting with the
effort. The action of the Ad Club
members is highly appreciated, and 1t
Is Hilo's intention to give them
gruelling thay will long remember.
That Is. after all. the best way to
repay them for being such good fell
lows, but IL Is earnestly hoped that
there win be very large attendance
of the general public as well, for they
can all share to the full In the general
nIerriment ~
II have been asked hundreds Of
questions as to the contents of the
mysterious chest which is coming up
with the delegates, and the new of
which has leaked out from some source
unknown to me. To tell the truth ]
only know that it contains something
OF very real value, and have a shrewd
idea, from the weight of it, that 1t
probably contains concrete from some
Of the Hilo boulevards, which will be
used to make some Of Honolulu's badly
reeded roads. can think of nothing
on more value to Honolulu than this,
but the best brains of the Crescent
City have been brought to bear upon
the subject of What can we do for
Honolulu" and only know that this
great box contains the result of much
thought and serious deliberation.
Il bear a message Of real good will
from Hilo TO her sister city at this
time. Her delegates are coming up
on serious business and will throw
their weight into carrying through
some OF the resolutions which will
be brought forward for the benefit of
the islands in general and Honolulu
IN particular. The famous Ratchet has
been buried so deep that no trace OF
Il can now be found, but the memory
of the funeral is ever fresh, and the
pledges then given have certainly
been lived up to.
So. as the representative of Hilos
Interests, am the mouthpiece of the
most cordial aloha that has ever been
uttered by the lard Of beauty and
volcanoes. and my last word is. DO
not fail to be at Pier IA at 6 o'clock
tomorrow morning
