almost any point will attract
visitors and the delights of a
day spent on Cocoanut Island
are sufficient to keep them in
the vicinity indefinitely. Beside
this, the roads through the
country have been put in a
condition that makes it tempt
ing for people who enjoy a
carriage ride to the Volcano.
And from correspondence pub
lished in the daily papers, as
we'll as reports from foreign
ers who have spent a day or
two in Hilo. the residents there
are an hospitable set. Hilo,
then, may be said to be a mo.
del town for tourists. First
because of the way the people
receive guests and entertain
them and because of the at
fractions which nature has pro.
vided. Kau, the other gate
way to the Volcano, is less at
tractive only for the reason
that the conditions are not suit
able for town. building and there
are consequently fewer people
to finish what nature left un-
done. We do not wish to inn
ply that the people Of Kau
could build mountains, but
If the population was larger
the government might listen
attentively to the request for
better roads. The drive from
Pahala to the Volcano was a
pleasant one in the days when
the road was good, but just
now it is in a condition that in
vites the attention Of com.
petent road builders more than
tourists. We have no doub,
the improvement will come in
time, for it's a matter that in
terests every one here indirect.
ly. We have no doubt tourists
would derive more pleasure
from seeing both sides Of Ha.
wall If the facilities were RICH,
than to see only one. The
money spent by visitors comes
to everyone indirectly SO it ap
pears in order for the busin. IS
people to unite in pc,i;ionipe
the government to put the
road in order.
We put up a IL foot Gearet
Aermotor for the Honolulu
Dairy the other day to be usee
for cutting sorghum. The
manager Of the dairy hae
doubts as to the power Of the
mill to do the work. A tire,
! horse power engine would no
do it and it was not believed
that enough power could b,
developed in a twelve foo
Aermotor, but it does the worl
, perfectly and at no expense
for fuel. Now, then, ifa twelv,
: loot mill will do this where i
: the limit Of a I6-foot Geare,
Aermotor. In addition to run
!, ming a No. a triple acting puml
; that will discharge ten thou
sand gallons Of water per hour
+ it will run a grindstone,
; lathe, a feed cutter and dea
knows what else. The Ael
: motor and a pump Of this des
!; criplion will irrigate anythin,
from a lawn to a rice plantf
" ton.
We have added to our a
ready large stock of garde
rakes an assortment of ne,
styles that are bound to jun
into favor with people who lik
!. to have clean lawns.
e. We have a stock of Hang
= ing Lamps, which for eleganc
OF finish, durability and powe
Of the burners commend then
selves to everyone, even tn
. people who use electricity fc
Lighting purposes. They rang
in price from four dollars I
twenty and you get just doubl
value for your money. 70
can find a larger stock in tn
factory where they are mad,
but not in store devoted t,
q clusively to the sale of lamp
. We're up to date even to ii
hinges on our doors, which ar
open from six to five. III
