rooTHPuLLER TO ROYALTY.
The Dentist of King Kalakaua Talks
About Hawaiian Teeth.

DR.. ]. NJ. Whitney OF Honolulu is at
the Occidental, having come to Cali
fornia for vacation. He is an invited
guest at the annual convention of the
California State Dental Association, at
present in session.
Dr. Whitney left his home in Cleve-
land, Ohio, nineteen years ago and went
to Honolulu, where he has since resided
Soon after his arrival in the Sandwich
Islands he was appointed dentist to the
royal family and has been retained in
that capacity since.
Last evening DR.. Whitney consented
to give Jew facts in regard to the dental
experiences OF the royal family OF Hawaii,
for, while there is divinity which doth
hedge king, royalty is no more exempt
from the pangs of toothache and diseases
OF the teeth than ordinary mortals.
liking Kalakaua," DR.. Whitney said
''has an excellent set Of teeth, although
several have been filed with gold. His
teeth, however, are troubled with what
is known TO dentists as Riggs disease,
which is quite common in the tropics,
and arises from debilitated system. It
affects the gums, chiefly, and causes the
teeth to become loose.
when in the operating chair the
King almost invariably either goes to
sleep or dozes. He stands the pain OF
dentistry well.
"The deceased King KameAameha
V, or the Lonely One had remark
ably fine set OF teeth, and withstood pain
with the greatest fortitude.
"The deceased Queen Emma and the
late Princess Likelike had fine sets of
teeth, although slightly subject to Riggs
disease"
Princess Kiolani, the daughter of
Princess Likelike, who is living at Homo
lulu, and who is the hope of the Hawa
ian people as their future Queen, is
visited by DR.. Whitney every three
months for the purpose Of having her
teeth attended to, but as she is the pos
SCISSOR OF beautiful worries, of which she
takes great care, but little work is re-
quired.
DR.. Whitney thinks the Hawaiians
have as fine teeth as any people in the
world, although the older natives have
better teeth than the present generation.
The doctor believes this to be due to the
change OF food which hiss taken place in
late years, poi and fish, which were the
chief diet OF the natives years ago, having
given way to edibles such as are used by
Americans, and which have more in
furious effect On the teeth
An effort is to be made to have the
next Hawaiian Legislature enact laws
prohibiting any person practising den
tistry who is not graduate OF a regular
dental college.
DR.. Whitney said that business in
Honolulu is far livelier than in Los
Angeles or San Diego, both Of which
places he has recently visited. He will
return to Honolulu by the Alameda
Examiner.

THE country can not obtain the highest

TIE country can not obtain the highest
prosperity as long as it is dependent
upon one industry. This is our present
position. With the rise and fall of sugar
the nation is prosperous or pinched.
Years ago, in what may be termed our
experimental period, the work connected
with the industry was more evenly di-
vided than at present. This was also
the case during the development induced
by the Treaty Then mechanics and
artizans had plenty OF work and we're
happy. The increase OF population was
along the best lines, the middle classes.
The tax lists, the rolls at public schools,
showed this. Societies composed of
these people were formed; the streets OF
Honolulu at times were fairly alive with
intelligent, respectable Americans and
Europeans But with the settlement of
the sugar industry upon the basis Of
permanency, the completion OF new
works, the defining Of limits, this pros
perity came to an end. 1t is true that
the low price Of sugar has had its share
in the result, but more in the line of
checking new enterprises than in any
other way. Had the price of sugar re-
manned high new plantations would have
taken up the remaining available area
until the limit of our capacity had been
reached. With present methods pro-
baby we should never have more than
doubled our present output OF sugar
When it is discovered how to make cane
grow without rain or irrigation and how
to make sugar without expensive ma
chinery and complicated processes, then
and not till then viii our capacity be
enormously increased.
With the cessation of new works and
decrease in the price of sugar, less
skilled labor has been needed and con-
siderable has been replaced by unskilled.
Add TO this the large decrease in the
demand for the product of skilled labor
sent out from Honolulu, and very large
amount OF the better classes OF the COM
munity have been thrown out OF en-
ployment. No doubt the above causes
are responsible for most of the present
depression and dullness. Chinese and
Portuguese have also displaced some Of
the skilled labor formerly monopolized
by other nationalities. As grand re-
suit We have considerable emigration
OF the classes we ought by all means to
retain for the best interests OF the coun-
try. 1t is dispiriting to witness the pas
senger lists out OF the country. 1t is
estimated that for the first six months Of
this year the departures exceeded the

TIE Legislature refused to pass an Act
admitting DR.. Hillebrand's book duty
free. Sentimental considerations weigh
verv lightly with the House, but to show
that there is nothing stingy or mean
about the members, it is worthy OF note
that within an hour after the rejection OF
that bill. they had raised on subscription
the amount of 1918 towards fountain
commemorative Of DR.. HiIlebrand. The
Minister of the Interior originated and
drew NJ the subscription paper 1t Is
proposed to have this fountain placed in
some public spot in the city. No better
place could be suggested, probably, than
the triangle formed by King, Merchant
and Richards streets. This barren, desc
late, dreary waste ought to have neat
fence about il, few trees, flowers and
grass planted there; then with a beauti-
full fountain and seats scattered here and
there it would be place OF grateful rest
for the body and pleasure to the eye. 1t
is time that more attention was paid to
heautifying the city.

TINS paper is and has been fully in
favor OF such a railway concession by
law for the Island of Oahu as should
secure the first chance Hereunder to
Mr.. B. F. Dillingham;. The exclusive
franchise is more in name than in fact,
for road once built from Honolulu to
any point on the Island will remain ex-
elusive until our population and local
industries are far greater than at present.
1t is safe to say that if road is built at
all under this law, no other will be pos
sible within twenty or even thirty years,
because there will not be business for
two roads, and not because OF the exclu-
sive terms of the charter. Mr.. Dilling-
ham will not build the road with his
own money any more than Vanderbilt
constructed the New York Central with
his; Garrett, the Baltimore and Ohio;
Scott, the Pennsylvania Croker, the
Southern Pacific, and many others the
same But the exclusive guarantee will
no doubt materially assist in procuring
local and foreign capital to construct our
little road. 1t was worth giving for that
very reason and it is to be hoped that
the franchise will not be sold to Skinner
and Company either, for our experience
with that house has not been such as TO
inspire confidence. The report of the
select committee upon the e15,000 ex-
pended by authority OF Mr.. Armstrong
lof Skinner and Company outside OF and
contrary to the provisions OF the Loan
Act OF 1856, condemns that house severe
ly. The prospectus for the Honolulu
Street Railway indicates the true nature
and character OF the house and makes
it perfectly justihable to believe that if
they get control OF the Oahu Railway
franchise, the scheme will be 'foated
upon the London market upon such
terms and conditions that the promoters,
as it seems 10 be called in London, would
make handsome thing at the expense
OF the stockholders. This method Of
doing business, while it might build the
road and secure that to US, must eventu-
ally result in great injury to the country,
for it will prevent the enlistment OF
foreign capital at bonafde figures in the
legitimate industries of the country.
For these reasons we believe the Legis-
lature was wise in refusing the appar-
emily tempting offer that Skinner and
Company would build the road without
any special concessions.

MOBILES Jaeger, Luhisu, Widemann,
Mskee; Representatives Naone, Kauhi,
F. Brown, Mcguire, Gay, Nakaleka and
Paehaole, are the men who voted last
week to sustain an irresponsible veto,
whereby the viii of the people, as ex-
pressed by a majority of the Legislature,
is TO be overthrow. No doubt every
one OF these gentlemen thought he voted
only on the coffee bill and nothing more.
1t is our duty to believe that every one
voted honestly. There is no doubt OF
that. but the result is the same, a severe
blow was struck by them against consti-
tutionaljsm in Hawaii. The remarks
made bv some Of the Hawaiian members
show that they do not understand and
probably do not appreciate the principle
involved. If the six absent members
had been in the House the effect on this
bill would have been different. 1t would
have secured Sc and perhaps 81 votes.
This does not in the least alter the posi-
ton Of the eleven who by their votes
sustained irresponsible as opposed to re-
sponsible representative Government.

arrivals by over one thousand. And so
long as there is no demand this drain
will continue. All look with apprehen-
sion at the possible state OF the country
when it consists of only a few large plan
tations owned by few wealthy persons,
who will probably be nonresident, and
6 considerable population OF low class,
ignorant people. Yet to this we are
tending unless we can obtain diversified
industries. The capabilities OF the
country are great; we can grow many
things besides sugar and rice, and itonly
needs far-sighted sagacity to develop
these resources. We have in our midst
plenty of men able in both pocket and
brain to give the needed impetus, and to
cause Hawaii to enter upon new era of
prosperity. 1t must be done soon or we
shall lose more yet OF population We
can i'll spare. Shall it be done?

HlLO NEWS LETTER.
The Reverend Volcano Exploiter Re-
turned-variOus Items from the
Rainy Village.

Rev. E. P. Baker left Hilo July 9th and
returned on August 9th, visiting the
various lava flows of Mauna Loa and
other places OF interest. He went to
Puma across the track of Kau desert on
the lower road and on the summit Of
Mauna Loa to the source of the 1880
and 1881 flow; to the source of the 1852
flow, across the south flank OF Mauna
Loa to Kahuku, visiting the source OF the
1858 and 1887 flows; going to sand hills
below Kahuku and through Kona, pas
sing between Mauna Loa and Hualalea,
visiting the temple of uni, and thence
reaching Kalailia. thence to Hitchcock
trail and so back to Hilo.
Mr. Baker got the height of the sources
OF the 1910 flow, 1,723 feet, and made
the descent of Makaopuhi crater, 900 feet
deep. He says he would not care to do it
again. No one, as far as known, had
ever been down so far. He went down
twice into the crater Mokuaweoweo, and
saws that since he descended it in 1885
there has been new crater formed in it.,
which he saw in 1887, the time of the
last flow. He now made the whole cir
cult of the crater ten or twelve times.
The southern loop was in action in 1880,
1881 and 1887. No one as far as known
has ever visited this loop, which is very
rich in minerals. Mr.. Baker could not
get the thermometer under 90 There
was good cold water but no snow there,
although ice was in the cracks.
The 1852 flow is about 1000 feet below
the 1881 flow. Mokuaweoweo consists
of series of craters arranged along a
fissure that runs n. E. and S. w. The
historic flows have come out OF the two
ends-never at the sides The lava that
came out OF the southern end is olivin-
itic, that out o. the northern end wholly
without that element. The core OF the
1887 flow is rich in aforementioned
mineral Found the sand hills formed
by the 1868 flow to be largely solid.
Mauna Loa has on the west poured down
immense "a flows, while on the east it
has built out an immense spur towards
Hilo and Puma.
The temple OF Uni consists OF eight
piles OF lava. Six stand for the districts.
One about ten feet high is situated be-
tween Mauna Loa, Hualalae and Mauna
Kea, on vast plain-a very impressive
place with a grand perspective. Huala-
lea is the mountain that TANKS Mauna
Loa on the west, Kilauea the mountain
that TANKS Mauna Loa on the east. The
trip was full of dangers, but paid well.
Mr. Baker had splendid kanaka guide
and an assistant
There is great competition among the
butcher shops OF Hilo, and some are GO

meat to retail. The last shop opened

PERHAPS those who read the article in
Saturdays ADVERTISER upon the indus
tries of the country, will next enquire
what are the industries which yet re-
main to be developed. 1t is difficult to
answer this in one sentence, but few
suggestions may not be without use. The
cultivation of coffee is certainly one
which may be called an undeveloped in
dustry. OF course coffee has been grown
here for great many years, and those
who have tried it and lost money will
feel that nothing new is to be learned.
1t is no longer question whether coffee
will grow, for that has been established
beyond a doubt; there is also no ques-
ton as to the product to be obtained, nor
as to the quality OF the berry. The first
is large, the second OF superior quality !;
the only remaining question is, there
fore, whether coffee can be produced to
pay. The price has risen throughout
the world, the demand is largely increas-
ing, and, what is OF more Importance,
coffee OF high quality will always and
everywhere command the best price.
Let fraction merely OF the ability and
energy applied to the production OF sugar
be used with coffee, and large results
will be obtained. The history OF this
industry throughout the world shows
that our coffee-growing to-day is in the
most primitive condition. The growth
and production OF coffee now requires
improved methods, improved machinery,
and intelligent skill in all departments.
This machinery is much less expensive
than any sugar machinery, requiring
very much less capital to engage in the
business. The sugar industry OF to-day
is certainly not as promising as the
coffee. The coffee bill having failed to
become law, it now lies with our men
of energy and capital to inaugurate the
cultivation OF coffee with these improved
methods and intelligent work. 1t need
not either interfere with the growth of
sugar. The district OF kona, on the
Island of Hawaii, and similar locations
on the other islands, are all adapted to
the growth of the finest coffee and will
not interfere with sugar because sugar
has not succeeded in those locations.
Another advantage OF this industry is
that it affords an opportunity for many
small producers to take it up, joining in
the use OF single plant for cleaning the
coffee. 1t is also true that it is unneces-
sary to clean or shell the berry at all
Good coffee well dried obtains the high
est price abroad because the develop
ments OF science have discovered prac-
teal use for every part of the berry
Enquiries have actually been made here
from New York as to whether the whole
berry could be obtained. No doubt
something could be done in this line. If
our public-spirited men would only take
hold we should soon have new story to
tell. Instead OF importing coffee we
should soon become large exporters.
There is no reason why we should not
export millions of pounds OF coffee as
well as thousands OF tons OF sugar.
Talking is, however, OF very little value.
Gentlemen of Hawaii, will you take
hold of this?
