These big land deals that are
being COnSummated should be aC-
as an indication of pros.
porous future. But there should /
be some one abroad who would
work in the interest of colonial
ton. As has been repeatedly |
said, Hawai- nei offers grand
inducements to the frost bitten
farmer OF the North West to set
tie here and a good smooth
talkcr to go among them would
no doubt do good work, The
owners OF these large tracts of
land will want to sell them IN
small tracts to the farmers, but /
to do SO the farmer and the land |
must be brought into closer
touch. He must be shown
wherein the land in, and condi-
tions of Hawaii are superior to
any place else. He must beCon-
WINGED that earthquakes are not
an every day affair ard that we
have other things than burning
volcanoes. The agents abroad
are engaged to talk up attraC-
tiOnS that are of interest to one
set OF men as the party of the
first part and a few business peo-
| pie as party of the second part.
| Tourists come and tourists 90,
| but the farmer stays forever UNI
less he goes broke. Iheman who
comes here and builds up an in
dustry, whether it is farming,
stock growing or in making In
dian meal is more profitable to
the community in which he lives
/ than the tourist who come here
and stays month and then goes
home and tells OF the volcano
fires. The wealth per capita on a
dozen farmers is greater than it is
on fifty tourists, where a division
of the spoils is concerned. We do
not wish to imply that the tour
list business is not a good thing;
as a side speculation it is; it was
all a good many people had to
live on while the Mckinley Bill
lasted, but as a steady diet the
public would not wax fat on it.
| There's room on these islands
for farmers and there's ample
space for capitalists, but they
, will not come unless they are in
formed of the fact. There's an
idea current in the United States
that the Hawaiian Islands are
flowing with milk and honey
= and that positions as clerks are
, open to any one who will apply
for them. Men who have come
; here in search Of work have
found this to be false. While
: advertising the country it might
be we'll to add line TOR the
: benefit of this class of people
and advise them to stay at home
or elsewhere than Honolulu. IT
is matter that should engage
the attention of the press and
the pulpit, rather than discussing
the advantages which one sort
OF religion may have and the
disadvantages another possesses
Every one, or rather every one
but ourselves, is after the mighty
dollar; it makes no difference
whether it appears "as large as
a cart wheel or the size of a
small wheel on a bicycle it is
being chased up one street
and down another until
l the Goddess OF Liberty
y gasps for breath. If we can set,
: tie the unOcCupied lands with
o farmers the dollars may be had
@ with less eXcrtion. Get in and
advertise.
This is solid silver week with
us-and with the people. No
r thing like our stock has ever
e been shown here and never vii
n be unless we give the exhibition
r The daintiest thing you evel
saw in the silver line is our com
bination set of Strawberry Fork,
i and Server. Beautiful in design
and delicate in workmanship,
; they commend themselves tC
every one. Next year there
may be pretticr ones but you
don't want to wait that long
: Christmas is at hand now is the
d time to subscribe.
Y You must understand that oul
r list of solid goods is not confined
to expensive articles; we have 4;
. number OF small pieces, chastC
in design and inexpensive il
price, but the value is there jus
the same. Sugar tongs, berry
# spoons, salad forks etc, anC
9 about as cheap as we used tC
sell plated goods for.
And lamps. do not imagine
S that the success of the Electric
y Light Company has deferred II.
!: from keeping our goods in this
i line up to the standard, We
are buying new designs all the
J, time and wouldn't do so if We
j were not continually selling. II
a pays to be up to the times. Anc

e the 22nd, to noon on the 24th
I we will issue tickets for a ride
on the electric street railway tC

had in stock and the prices are
