No USE FOR THE KLOND|KE
TREES THAI NUGGETS GROW ON

Pat Hughes Knocks the Bottom Out
of the Story of George Otterson's
Suddenly Acquired Wealth.

Under date of August 3Oth Pat
Hughes, formerly engineer of No. 1
engine at the Central fire station in
this city, who went to the Klondil<e,
several months ago, writes from San
San Francisco to his friend Chief
Hunt very entertaining letter, in
which he says:

Victoria on the 20th and have done
nothing since but do the town. When

left him at Dawson City on June 30th.
He had nothing then but two holes in
the seat of his pants. He was going
to locate a townsite and open a bro
ker's office. The $4,000 exists only
in Georges imagination. If you know
any of the boys in the Islands that
want to go north tell them for me,
to stay at home. The Klondike is
nothing but big white elephant and
have had the pleasure of seeing him.
Such people as Otterson have not got
the courage to admit that they got
soup in large quantities. instead of
nuggets"
Mr.. Hughes concludes a really en-
tertaining letter by saving that he

is FED BY THE VISIT OF THE CITY
OF COLUMBIA.
Steamer Arrived There Tuesday With
All Sorts of Things Novel to Hilo-
Due Here Tomorrow.

According to the accounts brought
by the passengers on the Kinau borne
out by the utterances of the Hilo pa
pers, the rainy city has been in a de-
lirium of excitement since Tuesday,
which even exceeded that when the
Annexation Commission, Admiral Mil
Ter and the Philadelphia and Liliuo-
kalani were all there together.
The City of Columbia arrived there
Tuesday morning, with the first for
eign mail that ever came there direct,
a big party of eXcursionists, a theat-
rical company that gave perform
ance in Spreckels hall, and the prom
Use that Hilo would eventually be the
principal seaport in the Islands and
the biggest one between the mainland
and the Orient. This latter optimistic
hope rather got a cold water drench-
ing by the announcement made by
the manager of the steamship that it
would not return to Hilo as more
freight was to be obtained at Homo
lulu, and it would not pay to return
to Hilo.
In addition to all this there was a
little romance on board the steamer
coming down from Seattle, which had
its denoument in Hilo before the Unit
ed States Consular agent there. One
of the passengers, according to the
Hawaii Herald, paid marked attention
to lady member of the theatrical
company, encouraged by the young
lady's mother, but frowned on by the
father. For the fathers frowns the
young man gave him a Delaying pin,
and all parties were locked up by the
captain. Before the Consular Agent
the father, who seems to have come to-,
said he had fallen and hurt himself
and all ended happily.
The officers of the steamship and
many of the passengers were taken
on excursions through the plantations
and all together Hilo seems 10 nave
