HIL0, CHawaiD, April I'll there
is one thing more than another that
Hilo Is sadly I'm need OF, IL is pound.
MASTER IL does seem that in town
OF this size-boasting of the popula-
| ton that Hilo numbers-that the
Government could afford an officer
whose business il should be TO care for
the cattle and horses of those who are
short OF pasturage. There Is no pro
lection TO life nor property assured the
residents OF this place against the In
trusion Of stray animals, day or night.
Should one be so unfortunate as 10
have his fence decay, and In c0nse-
quence be wlthouta a guard 10 property
for short time, he must expect TO
pasture all the way from two 10 six
animals on choice garden plants,
grape-vines and young bananas.
Should the deliveryman, the vender
Of eggs and vegetables, or the small
boy who comes to the place, neglect
TO fasten the gate secnrely, strange
horse or COW may be expected within
the gate before much time has elapsed.
The town has piece of Govern
ment property formerly used as "a
pound, but the fence enclosing the
place is beyond repair. Sheriff Will
liams'states that he has made applica-
ton on different occasions TO have
the much needed officer appointed
but when informed by the Minister OF
the Interior, that the pOundnlaster rs
expected TO keep the pound I'm repair
out Of the profits that accrue from
managing the business, he can find
no one who is willing to accept the
Office. Strange to say, when ID h
known that there is "a pOundmasier
one who is attending to his business
there are no animals accidently turned
into the street TO Craze, and allowed TO
wander Into their neighbOrs' gardens
Speaking of stray animals, there
was quite "a scene of excitement a few
days ago caused by the breaking away
of band OF cattle as they were being
driven to town. The cattle had been
driven from Waimea by Rufus Ly-
man, .Jr., and a number Of native
men, and had come as far as Wal
naku without unusual difficulty,
when suddenly thirty OF the band
made break for upper WainAl1u.
Eighteen were captured at once, but
the remaining number fed in differ
ent directions and could not be corral
ed. There was no possible chance for
the animals to escape, and within
few days all were shot down and
brought down to the Central meat
market. The accident entailed some
loss to the market as it was necessary
TO salt and prepare the beeves before
they could be carted TO town.
The regular quarterly meeting OF
the HilO Teachers Union was held at
