DON'T GROWL.

We all have way of growing at
that the distribution is slow; another
complains that the papers do not get
out as soon as they ought, and of
course one hears of how much better
things are done elsewhere. As a fact
our postoflice officials are overworked.
There is probably no business on
the Islands, either government or pri-
vate, where so many hours of work
are put in by the employees. They
have to be up early and late. They
are turned out of bed at all kinds of
hours and accept the situation with
out complaining. 1t is no infrequent
thing for the employees of the postof-
fee to run steadily at work for thirty
hours or more. And even when that
has been accomplished, before they
get proper rest they are rung up to
90 to work on another mail.
OF course this comes in great meas
ure from our insular position. We
cannot calculate upon our mails ar
irving exactly to an hour. and we
have no Geographic communication
with the outside world. Therefore
when news comes we want to get i
as quickly as we can, and accordingly
poster our postotlice officials for in
slant delivery.
The fact of the matter is that tn,
postotlice is undetermined and tina
its staff is based upon the minimum
rather than the maximum of work
| Under such circumstances be lenien
with the shortcomings, if such the,
be, of the overwOrked postotiice off
cials.

as those of Kauai do, and its valleys
are broader and less rugged than those
for instance. of East Maui.
But whatever natural advantages
Oahu may possess they would be no
good without the energy and push to
open them up. TO one man must be
given the credit for opening the way
to the prosperity of Oahu, for unlock
ing its treasure chest, and that man
is b. f. Dillingham;. 1t was his ener-
gy and push, which, in spite of adj
verse criticism, in spite of the sneers
of the know-it-alls built the railroad
and threw open the land to those who
can use it to their own advantage and
that of the state 1t is fortunate FOR
a community that it has a pushing
man who has been willing to get out
of the rut and strike out for the pros
perity of his fellow citizens.

horseback, which was a hot dusty ride
of some five or six hours. Now we
can get into the train and be whirled
down in an hour and half, with no
trouble and no fatigue.
But it is not the speedy locomotive
that strikes the old timer so much, it
is the prosperous cultivation, the hous-
es and plantations which have sprung
up along the line of the railroad.
Years ago most of the land between
town and Waianae was a barren
waste, supporting a few hundred of
lean cattle. Here and there were pat
ches of cultivation, but there was not
a stick of sugar cane to be seen upon
the land
Two things have contributed to
make the change, the railroad and

This simple letter probably altered
the career of Washington, although it

TT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

On the 18th day of May, 1747, Joseph
Ball, of Stratford-by Bow, England,
wrote the following letter to his sis
ter, in Virginia, the mother of George
Washington:
Il understand that you are advised
and have some thoughts of putting
your son George to sea. l think he
had better be put apprentice to tin
ker, for a common sailor before the
mast has by no means the common
liberty of the subject; for they will
press him from a ship where he has
fifty shilling a month, and make him
take twenty-three, and cut and slash
and use him like a negro, or rather
like a dog. And as to any consider
able preferment in the navy, it is not
to be expected, as there are so many
gaping for it here who have interest,
and he has none. And if he should
get to be master of a Virginia ship
(Which it is very difficult to do) a
planter that has three or four hundred
acres of land and three or four slaves,

comfortable and leave his family in
better bread, than such master of a

the absence of system, however
