Joaquin AIiller's account of affairs in
the Hawaiian Islands goes well as fiction.
But for some reason matters did not go
well with him at the islands. He has
done his best to canonize the ex-queen

righteousness sake. What pity that the
public never takes apochryphal story
writer's seriously. -Oakian Tribune.

The handwriting is on the wall. The
matchless resources aud unparalleled ad-
vantages OF Southern California are being
recognized and appreciated. Nothing

manent prosperity. San Bernardino Sun.

nia has been resting upon her laurels as
the metropolis OF the state for SO many

apply in the case of cities struggling for
supremacy. The Half-million club is now
going to see what little get-up-and-get
will accom- plish. Pasadena Star.
