Thomas W. Rawlins of this city
returned by the Kinau from a
visit to the town OF Hilo. An in
terview with him printed in the
Hilo Tribune showed that he in
tended to cast in his lot with that
industrious and progressive burg.
A representative of the BULLETIN
considered the talk very interest
ing, and solicited an original one
for this paper.
81 have made arrangements for
starting a soap manufactory In
Hilo. All the butchers of Hilo,
there are three, have contracted
to give me their tallow. The on
ly difficulty has been in getting a
site. You can't put soap works
anywhere. will lease the land.
You can't buy any land there, as
the people are looking to the
future. Hilo is going to be the
second Queen of the Pacific. The
weather was fine nearly the whole
fortnight | was there, although
people in Honolulu have an idea
it is raining in Hilo all the time.
"Some OF the leading people of
Hilo were very attentive to me.

darlington, Wakefield, Furneaux,
LoeueusueIn ana Wilson, and
thank them in your paper for
their kindness. They said they
like To have a practical man like

town. There are no drones inHilo-

Hilo with his hands in his pocket.
A lot of trades are represented
among the coffee men, and when
they haven't anything to do on
their land they can usually get
work at their trades.
"Hilo must have a wharf and
nearly everybody wants a new
one at Waiakea. 1t would be
like throwing money away to
spend any on the old wharf at the
mouth OF the Waiaiua river. All
the freighting to and from vessels
is now done with old-fashioned
punts that have to be pulled
back and forth. Building a
now wharf at Waiakea would
have the advantage of the
shelter of Cocoanut island, and
that is the only place where a
durable breakwater could be built
at a moderate cost.
"Theyc is enterprise and energy
enough in the people of Hilo to
build the wharf themselves, if the
Government would give them the
site, but they think it is better for
the Government to own it and
thus have it altogether a public
work. NJ. Wilson was willing to
build a bridge to the island, erect
a hotel on it and run a bus line
to the place, but there We're some
objections to his enterprise.

joining township there are eleven
schools and only two male teachers.
Now I should like to know whether
lady teachers are competent to teach
agriculture. The majority of them are
young and have not had much expert
ence in teaching, and to require them
to teach this additional branch would
be an absurdity. We might just as
we'll take the young man out of the
field, put him into the school and com
pei him to teach the culinary art. I'm
afraid we wouldn't be inclined to place
much confidence in his instruction, and
that some of his girl scholars would
know more about preparing pelatable
