HIGH-PRIOED OIL
Caused by Deal Which Effects All the
Civilized World.

UlVllHed world
New YORK, April 1.-The Herald This
morning publishes a new chapter on
the oil boom, showing lts international
phase. It says: "Back OF the unprSCs.
dented rise in oil prices during the past
week there have been mighty forces at
work, the significance Of which has been
very sdrOitly concealed. Chief Of these
is the completion Of the deal between the
Standard Oil company and tho Russian
companies for the division Of the worlds
territory, which recently went into Of.
feet. Negotiations were begun q year
ago, az related In the Herald, but the
Standard could not carry ont Ito part Of
the contract, which called for the anni-
hilstiOn OF all competing interests which
would be liable to prove Q disturbing
factor In Rursis's chosen half Of the
world. The Standard company squsn-
dered millions Of money In order to bring
ROout the desired effect. It put oil on
the European market for less than the
cost Of production, but the 'indepond-
ents' did not give In. They formed q
satisfactory alliance with German re.
finers and have been able to hold their
own ever since, although many predict
that the Standards latest coup will
sooner or later wipe them out Of exist.
ence.
"The Russians were angry, or affected
TO be ct the Standards inability to crush
competitors in this country, and the war
OF prices between the two great powers
was reopened. The Russians undertook
to furnish the markets OF Great Britain
and the western countries Of Europe,
which the Standard regarded as It's own
chosen field and In order to do this the
Russians had to buy the better grades
OF oil from the Standards competitors
in America. The Standard, on the
other hand, put millions of cases into
the far East and found no difficulty in
disposing Of all that it could spare, since
it furnished q superior grade Of oil.
"But negotiations were quietly re-
newsd and the world was finally divided
upon the old basis, Russia waving the
demand that competitors In America
should be disposed Of. The STANDARD,
however, Is understood to have given
assurance that there would not longer
be any trouble on that score, for the
developments OF the past week show that
1t will leave no stone unturned which
will give 1t the absolute supremacy Of
this part OF the world"

place oblige me to forego the enjoyment
Of participating in the occasion you con-
template.

the beginning Of an earnest and aggrss-

THE HILO DRUG co.
Opening of the First Drug Store
on Hawaii

1t is with pleasure we welcome the
arrival of Mr.. Z. B. BarthrOp into our
midst and congratulate ourselves upon
having such an enterprise started by
one so qualified and enterprising as
Mr.. Barthrop has shown himself
to be.
The new firm is filling long felt
want and no doubt will reap harvest
from their venture. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated, by the opening
up of this firm, that Hilo only lacks
in new life and young blood. The
Lhysicians no doubt feel grateful to
the new firm, as they will find it n
great convenience ard assistance to
them in their practice The firm is
located on Front street and have a
very neat and we'll stocked store.
They are prepared to do a wholesale
as well as retail business.-HtlO Trlb-

Mr.. Barthrop, manager OF the
above mentioned business, is well
and favorable known in Honolulu.
The store is a branch of the Hol-
lister Drug Company Of this city.

NIGEL IN A NEW ROLE.
Has Tired of Circus Life-Parcels
Delivery.

Nigel Jackson has changed his
occupation again. The dimes did
not roll in fast enough by the cleo
trio battery route, so he quit the
business and joined fortunes with
Wirth's circus as a general utility
man. He did not peddle red lem
ade and peanuts in the circus tent,
but assisted the performers In the
green room to properly ar
range their attire for public inspec-
ton. Besides, attired in the latest
fashion of wearing apparel, the
factotum was ubiquitous in look
ing after the welfare of patrons of
the circus by escorting them to
proper places of rest during the
performance.
He has tired of this, and think
ing the approaching holidays
might be the means of dropping
shining sheckels into his inside
pocket, conceived the happy idea OF
starting a ten-cent parcels delivery.
A horse has been purchased on the
installment plan-board and lodg-
ing extra. Tim Murray, who is
ever ready to help a fellow when
he's down, is constructing a vehicle
especially for Mr.. Jackson's new
venture.
The irrepressible young man, who
has travelled in many climes and
seen life in varied forms, hopes to be
ready for business bright and early
Monday morning. If it isn't bright
he will start Just the same.

quake, followed shortly afterwards
by another, and one more shake

the earthquakes were felt through
out the island, and more severe in
a radius of thirty miles from the
volcano. At the volcano it was
very light. Saturday evening, the
guide at the Volcano House re-
turned from the crater greatly ex-
cited. He predicted that some
thing was going to happen, as the
gases were making an uncommon
noise, such as had not been heard
for over two years. Sure enough
fire appeared in the crater Sunday
night, with a small flow in one
corner of the pit. Pele's return
has been expected for some time,
for during the last few weeks she
has given several forcible re-
minders.
