The Volcano Road and Newspaper.
Mr.. EDIToR:-Our new road from
Hilo to the Volcano is progressing
fast through the first belt of timber,
and only about half a mile of heavy
grubbing and grading remains to be
done in this difficult portion. The
crusher is expected by the return
trip of the Kinau; and, when it
arrives, the portion of the road al
ready graded will be made passable
for vehicles. The new road is al
ready being used for horseback
travel in places, and especially
where it is near to the old trail. The
number of laborers at present en-
ployed is under forty.
There have been abundant showers
throughout the district during the
week, and regular "court weather "
has been experienced.
Court business progresses slowly
owing to the difficulty of getting
iurymen. Native juries have, so far,
proved extremely lenient; and nearly
the whole foreign population of the
town and neighborhood has been
drawn upon. Stores have, in some
cases, been closed owing to propri-
etors and employees being called
upon for jury duty, and the planters
have nobly responded in the emer
gency.
The proposed Hilo newspaper is,
at present, in allegiance; and a
proper organization of the share
holders. as at present constituted, IS
impossible. One third Of the shares
subscribed for in Hilo, have been
taken up by plantation managers ;and
when this fact became known. the
anxiety to have paper cooled down
considerably among the storekeepers.
Another difficulty presented itself,
which should have been seen from
the first inception OF the movement,
that treasurer commanding the
confidence of the stockholders, would
not be at all likely TO devote the
necessary Ilue " COlleCI uuWlIlluS
assessments from the twenty-six
stockholders without any remunera-
ton and with very little thanks. OF
course. everybody here wants a
newspaper, and there would be no
fear of patronage to well con-
Quoted local sheet; but a joint-stock
concern will not do in community
that differs so much in opinion as
we do here. A newspaper to sue
coed here must be Independent, and
the editor must be untrammelled by
any local bossing. L.

Rewarding the Samoans-A Suggestion.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I suppose there can
be no doubt that the United States
Government will take some suitable
action upon Admiral Kimberly's
recommendation of recognizing in a
substantial manner the very valuable
services of the natives at the time of
the recent shipwrecks. Your sug-
gestions as to the form which such
recognition should take are very
proper, but [ should also like to
make a suggestion of my own, which
is as follows:
1t appears 10 be pretty we'll under
stood that the Berlin Conference
will agree to some plan by which
the independence of Samoa will be
secured, and Malietoa or some other
native chief exercise the functions of
sovereignty. 1t seems to me that in
view of all the. circumstances of the
case, it would be not only a hand
some, but a graceful and appropriate
act for the United States to erect a
building suitable for the residence
of the Samoan ruler, and present it
to he used for that purpose, and spe-
officially as a testimonial in recogni
ton of the services of the natives in
saving American lives and prop
erty. OF course, such a building
would not need to be anything of
the kind that we would call palace,
but what could be regarded, in view
of native habits and local conditions,
dignifed and appropriate resi-
dence for Samoan king.
Such action need not preclude the
bestowal of medals and other re-
wards upon individuals who espe-
cially distinguished themselves, or
the making provision for the fami-
lies of those who lost their lives. 1t
would be rather a testimonial to the
Samoan people as a whole. The
natives acted nobly; the United
States is rich and ought to be gen
erous. AMERICAN.
