GEORGE IS WEALTHY.
Engineer OttersOn Made a KIOn-
dixie Stake of $4,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-The richest
man on board the last steamer from the
I<londike and perhaps the most interest
ing was George w. OttersOn, of Honolulu
on his arrival in Alaska he commenced
specializing, and soon got hold of a good
Bonanza-creek claim. He worked the
property to the fullest extent, and at the
end of the working season this year had
$50 600.
Otterson had a presentiment that he
was going to be robbed and took the
greatest precautions to avoid it He want
ed to get under cover, so he shipped as
assistant engineer on the river steamer
Sovereign. All the long voyage to St
Michael he stood his watch and had his
treasure constantly under his eye. He
would have come down on the South Port
land in the same capacity, but there was
no room for him. The trip down the river
on the steamer took twelve days many
of which were spent on sand bars.
Otterson was engineer here on the
dredger and at the public laundry and his
wife was stenOgrapher and a school
teacher

CLERK HENRY SMITH.
Treatment for His Hearing Was
Not a Success.

Henry Smith, chief clerk of the Su-
preme Court, returned by the Austria
he went for treatment to his ears. The
operation was not successful. The
left ear was benefited, but the right,
which had always been good, was de
ranged by the operation. 1t was the
opinion of the Philadelphia specialist,
however, that the trouble with the
right ear was of a temporary nature
and that hearing in that side would
likely be soon recovered. Mr.. Smith
has to use a trumpet at times now.
While abroad Mr.. Smith visited a
number of big cities, including New
York and Washington. The latter i'm
pressed him as being the prettiest
town in the United States. This was
Mr.. Smiths first trip to America.

NORTHwEsTERN REFINERY.
Schemes for Puget Sound Return
CargOeS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-The steam
er City of Columbia left Tacoma on the
27th for Honolulu. It is the intention Of
the promoters of this new enterprise to
dispatch a steamer every twenty-five
days Referring to the departure Of the
above steamer the Tacoma News says:
She has about 1900 tons of merchandise
and seVenty-five first cabin passengers
many Of them business men going over
to the Islands to look up business and es-
tablish connections with business houses
there. The question Of return cargo for
the ship is being quite generally dis
cussed, and it is reported that a strong
effort viii be made TO establish a sugar
refinery either at Tacoma or Seattle, max
ing the Sound the distributing point for
Hawaiian sugar. The managers of the
line say the outward cargo will pay a
good profit, Independent Of the return
cargo" First class round trip tickets
were sold for 800. From San Francisco
to Honolulu cabin passage is $75, or round
trip tickets $125. AS the trip is made in
week, a charge of 800 for a rOund-triD
ticket ought to pay the company well.
such a rate would stimulate travel.

HEALTH.

General Merriam has done his best
to give Honolulu black eye as a
health resort, and has ticketed the city
as full of typhoid. Our Board of
Health has the matter in hand now
of disproving this injurious statement
and this disproval should be circulated
as widely as possible.
One thing is in our favor, and that
is that numbers of visitors have been to
the city and have felt the advantages
of the climate and are acquainted with
the sanitary conditions here, and
these people number in all thousands.
Another thing in our favor is that
when the volunteers are recalled there
is bound to be investigation into the
cause of so many deaths from sick
ness. If our Board of Health is ready
with its answer to the charges, some
of its members are very likely to be
heard.
1t won't do for us TO sit tamely
down and allow such an injurious
statement to pass without using ev-
cry effort to head it off and show its
falseness. Honolulu as a fact has
great natural advantages. The trade
wind alone will almost keep it heal
thy. This comes across thousands of
miles of sea, fresh, cool, inyigorating
forests nor miasmatic swamps with
rotting vegetation, and above all our
Board of Health is untiring in its eff,
forts to keep the city in a proper by.
gienic condition. We have good
ease; we only need to put it well.
