BOARD OF TRADE.
Merchants Pleased With the Idea.
Will Organize.

The Herald says the plan for or
ganizing Board of Trade for Hilo
is developing and it is probable a meet
ing will be called for some evening
next week. a few of the business men
have been spoken to and have shown
a Willingness to become members. L.
Turner in talking over the delay in
getting mail TO Hilo remarked that
conditions are changing rapidly in
some respects but much too slow in
others. The method in which we get
our mail is taking a snail's pace in
the matter Of advancement. My
opinion is that the only way this can
De changed is through the intercession
OF a body like the Board of Trade"
II representative men can be drawn
together next week a permanent or
ganization will be made.

Our one contention at all times is to

Roll on time, roll on. Just think of

general; thereby causing people to
think and consider the why and
wherefor. Reputation is everything.

success will be attained. Misquoting
