Jared for grounds, and the roads Ii
ire fairly good between streets, Q
good enough to please most any p
one, but the arrangement OF the P
or cutters is deplorable. r
They are so far below the level b
of the road that it makes it dan :,
gerous, particularly at night, Tor I
people to drive over them. 1t is I
we'll understood that deep gut I
tiers are necessary in order to
carry off the water which flows
down the hill, and the anCients s
used to construct bitches so
that when carriages crossed them
a broken spring was the result.
1t was rumored during that era
that the road builder was also
carriage builder hence, the con-
nection. In modern times and in
countries adopting modern
methods it is customary to run
the water in such places under
ground and to cover the bitches
at cross streets with heavy
planks. 1t is understood that
during the next century, some
time, the same plan will be
adopted here. There is certain
risk in following new ideas too
closely; some people like to have
them thoroughly tried.
Christmas is over and the peO-
pie are settling down to plain
every day business and fixing up
their want list for the new year.
We have as complete a stock IN
!, general lines as may be found
anywhere in the Islands. To as
certain just what is included in
, the general lines" would require
your attention for several days,
perhaps longer. 1t would cost
lot of money for us to tell you
5 of them all in this column. We
, therefore only take two or three
items at a time and dilate on
them. For instance: Today we
take stoves as a starter. You
probablv never saw a better iron
stove in your life than the "Pan-
sy," it's good because it is eco
: nomical of fuel and is a good
Il baker. Another point in its favor
, is the fact that it burns wood or
8 coal. One per cent. OF the pur-
chasers of the "Pansy' have OBJ
iected to it because there was no
hot water back to the stove. We
. have reduced this one per cent.
= to nil by obtaining water backs
a from the factory. This is a very
y Slight additional expense and
e puts a cheap stove on a par with
,s high priced one in the matter
Of convenience.
There are some people VINO
lie won't burn wood or coal on &C
count OF the eXponse;some OF them
wouldn't use il they could get it
y for nothing on account OF the
20 bother. We accommodate such
IF people in selling them Dietz Oil
, Stoves. You would be aston
ished at the number of these
stoves we have sold and the testi-
a. monials we have reCe we'd from
at parties using them in Honolulu.
ye There's a certain amount OF con-
: vcnience- and economy about
: them not obtained in any other
3, make of stove. The same sort OF
i cooking may be done on Dietz
Oil Stove as can be done on an
ron stove and perhaps little
IN quicker. We haven't large
N stock of the Dietz stoves; it's i'm
,e possible for us to keepthem PEG,
., pie want them and while we have
" them we sell them. If you should
~ call today you could get one
ne from us, tomorrow may be toe
Id late.

" The "2Io6" we have been sell
c ing for a long time, because
e. people admire the carnatiol

is it because their neighbors hav,
