But their intentions were not real.

\ NATTER OF CUSTOM.

1t always has been puzzle, says u
Sacramento, Calf, paper, why the
narrow tire is adhered to. If it can be
shown that its traction is greater, that
it enables heavier loads to be moved
with no greater expenditure of power,
that it more strengthens the wheel,
that it less cuts up the road, that it
is less eXhausting upon the animal
drawing the wagon, that it is more
economic, then there would be some
sense in adhering to it.
Not one of these things can be
proven in favor of the narrow tire
wagons, while every one of them can
be established in favor of the wide
tire. For very light vehicles the wide
tire would not answer as well, because
it would not be SO conservative of
speed. That is all that can be said of
the narrow tire.
The best authorities are convinced
that the narrow, Notwithstanding and
labor-losing tire for wagons is mat
ter of custom only. 1t is used because
our fathers did so before us, and that
is the whole secret of the matter

News by every steamer from the
different islands brings the always
welcome report that the grinding
season has commenced and all look
forward to very generous year.
We will also be generous and give
you THE BEST OF LUBRICANTS at
prices that meet the demands. To
those who are familiar with the
quality of Our

brands of Lubricants, little need be
said, as they know best why they
continue to use them.
To those unacquainted with the
COLORADO" BRANDS
we beg to say that while we do not
believe in decrying the products of
Our competitors, we believe in stat
ing the truth as forcibly as posi-
BILE, namely, that we have the finest
Lubricants, that for density eff OiseO-
sit, high fire test, and 7oOykiAg quail

DIAMOND c" CYLINDER
OIL
is adopted for both marine and
stationary engines of high and low
pressure. -
EXTRA VALVE OIL,
for cylinders and valves, is of high
lubricating properties and thoro-
ughly reliable.
ENGINE OIL.
This oil has taken the place of
lard oil for all kinds of machinery
and meets with more than general
satisfaction.
COLORADO DYNAMO OIL,
for Use on dypamos and electric
light machinery. This oil is almost
indestructable, and can be filtered
over and over again.
HEAVY MINERAL CASTOR

This oil contains no acids, will
not gum, and is especially recon-
mended for heavy working ma
chinery.
COLORADO CAR BOX OIL.
Its wearing qualities are the best,
being especially adopted for ma
chinery with heavy running jour
nals and for axles.
We have in connection with
these oils a handsome line of Oil
Containers with pump attachment.
Capacity sixty gallons. These will
prove very serviceable.

FRIEND" GREETING.

(Rev, S. E.. Bishop in THE Friend y
X. Our new year '97 has come in smil-
ing after the storm. May this be a
prestige of better days for Hawaii
after the disquiet of the past decade.
May our readers all enter the new
year with high and joyful resolve to
make good record of duty and ser
vice. Let us live consciously under
the clear and loving eye of God, who
sorrows for our sins and rejoices in
our efforts to conform to His right
eousness.
Hawaii is filled with most noble and
encouraging fields for Christian labor.
Let us gladly enreavor, each one by
life and speech, to be messenger of
Christ to many souls, winning them to
learn of the Divine Master and follow
Him. Thousands among us have
scarcely heard Jesus name, though
asking what these church spires
mean? May the lives of Christ's PEG.
pie this year be so rich in His temper
and spirit as to carry constant lessons
of His spiritual grace and beauty
drawing all men to His higher heaven.
