Fatal Accident.

A terrible accident occurred at
Binford about $3.50 last Saturday
afternoon in which one William
Collins lost his life by careless
ness. Collins was at work crib
bling in new elevator that is being
built at that place. He wanted to
get across a space about four feet
wide to another part of the build.
ing and threw a piece of knotty
eight inch board across the two
ends and proceeded to walk
across that. The board broke
as SOM as his weight was upon it
and Collins was precipitated fifty
feet below and when about twelve
feet from the ground he struck
an eight inch square beam. His
shoulder was knocked all out of
shape and one side of his body
smashed in. The poor fellow re-
gained consciousness and told
the boys around him that they
could do nothing for him-his
time had come. He expired
about an hour after he fell. His
remains were taken to Fargo.
He was a single man about so
years old. We are informed
that he was reckless fellow
about buildings and that he fell
from an elevator at McHenry a
short time ago but had the luck
to fall on a platform about ten
feet from the top that another
workman had put there tempo
rarily q short time previous.

HILO
Is situated on crescent shape bay
and extends from point to point of
the bay. The business hart OF Hilo
Is in the center of the crescent. The
town faces the north, the bay is small
and deep and is situated at the base
of the two principal mountains:
Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. The
VIA luku river flows down between
the two mountains, and flows into
into Hilo bay, Hilo beng on either
side of the river, but mostly on the
east side. The land gradually rises
from the bay on the south and west
sides, and from south to east it is
level. The VIA Kea river runs into
Hilo bay east of, or rather through
the eastern part of the town. The
wharves and boat landings are all east
of the VIA .Kea river. Hilo is some
thing like three miles long at this
point or more properly speaking has
a water front of three miles, and is
rapidly extending at both sides of the
bay. But the water front OF Hilo is
not the most beautiful part of the
town, tor it is principally occupied
by Chinese and Japs. Between the
two rivers, there are some Of the
most beautiful homes in Hilo also
some of the most beautiful yards and
lawns to be found anywhere. They
contain shrubs, flowers and palms OF
all conceivable varieties. l doubt il
there is tropical plant that can not
be found in this part of the town.

The public debt statement
from Washington, is an exempli-

country; and fit illustration of
the wonderful reserve power,
latent within the republic, and
that could be called forth in case
Of an emergency.
Notwithstanding the enormous
war and naval expenses being
met daily by the government,
the common debt of the country
is reduced in one month over six
and half millions of dollars. and
the bonded debt reduced $9.712,

feel burdened by the taxes and
the officials are not embarrassed
by an increasing debt and lack
Of plenty of ready money. In
ternal revenue is a great thing.

ROAD MAKING In Hawai-.

Roads here are not made like they
are IN the "States;" that is they work
different. One does not see plows
or scrapers, seldom picks and shovels,
but men with hoes, regular old planta-
ton hoes and when they are grand
ing in places where water can not be
procured the dirt is shoveled into a
gunny sack and then carried to where
1t is wanted. But where they can
get water it (the dirD is carried away
by water. This is done by tapping
a mountain stream some distance
above where the work is going on. A
common ditch is dug and the water
forced into that, and is conveyed to
where the work is being
done. If they want to cut a hill
away or ill up valley the water is
flumed to the top of the hill directly
in the road, then they have a string
of Japs or Portuguese digging dirt in
TO the ditch. The water then carries
the mud to where fill is to be made.
There they have planks or legs ar
ranged so as to form basin ror the
mud to run into and let the water run
off. In a few days the water has
drained off and the grade is ready
for the stone. Stoning the road is as
good as common circus, it looks as
if they were trying to see who could
| be the clumsiest. One will see them
earring stones all kinds of distances
in baskets or in gunny sock, either
with a pack horse or strung on pole
with Jap or his counterpart a
Portuguese under each end; some
times Jap with pole across his
shoulders and basket on each end,
loaded with stones. In this way the
roads are built and macadamized.
Unless road is macadamized here.
you cannot get a wheeled vehicle
over it. The one that is building
here and by the way is nearly COM
pleted, was built for one dollar per
foot, graded and macadamized twelve
feet wide. There were two bad
streams to bridge and two others to
build stone culverts across. They
paid from SIS to $22 per month and
board themselves, for laborers.
There were no white men working on
the road, in fact you don't see very
many white men here working at any
kind Of work, unless it is skilled la
Dor. Then wages are out of all pro-
portion to common labor. Good

While Congress will be engaged in
recognizing the standing army, in
diyidual States will have their own
militia organization to look after. IN
many States the militia is and has been
on o good basis, but in many others
little interest is taken in this arm OF
the national guard, and South Caro-
lima is one of them. While New York
has spent hundreds of thousands on
her militia, South Carolina contributed
but $4,000 last year. The equipment
of the militia in other States is OF a
very superior order, while i'll South
Carolina it is almost nothing i'll COM
parison. 1t has been reported tllat
friends Of the militia will make an
effort to have the appropriation IN
creased this year. The experience in
camp of the volunteers has shown
them what is necessary to make sol
der, and their training last summer
will no doubt have its after effect upon
the militia, for there seems to be a
stronger interest manifested in militia
matters.
