been treated to real live sensation
in the way of newspaper publication.
1t is certainly a matter of deep regret
with the directors of the Hilo Tribune
that such matter as was published in
the February 1st number of the paper
should ever have been submitted to
the public. Had the editor been al
lowed to continue his writings We
might have had second Hawaiian !;
but with such prospects staring them
in the face, the directors took imme
diste steps to prevent the repetition
of the publication of such scandalous
items as "Straws,n "Relics of Mon
archy," and the like, by demanding
that the editor, Payson Caldwell,
hand in his resignation at once.
1t has been whispered about that
"shanty row" on Front street, south
of the Pioneer News Company's store,
is to be leveled to tine ground, and
that on the valuable site, now occu-
pied by the shanties, is to be erected
a series of more stupendous structures.
The location is of course the most
central for business purpose and no
doubt would find ready tenants among
prominent merchants who must
now be content with almost any ram
shackle building. 1t is hoped the
day is not far off when Front street
will be rid of all its shanties that now
make that business thoroughfare any
thing but attractive in appearance.
The street itself is being we'll graded,
but the work proceeds slowly.
The old Coney house has been re-

used In connection with his hotel to
better accommodate the many tourists
who are constantly going and coming.
