UPON CABLE PROSPECTS
WAS MIR. SCRYMSER RUNNING \
BLUFF?
People Have Lived On Desolate Guano
Islands. and Telegraph Operators
May Have TO DO the Same Thing.

Editor Star: | have no antipathy
whatever to Mr. Scrymser and heart
lily wish him success i'm his Pacific
cable projects, at least, if his is the
best ompany to carry them out.
which seems quite probable. At the
same time, the language he is report
ed to have used here the other day
gives the impression of blutling, and
rather Transparency at that.
The Bulletin reports Mr.. Scrymser
as saying that there is going to be IA
cable across the Pacific. but il will go
by way of Alaska before it comes to
Hawaii" lie evidently means to give
the impression that very liberal gov
eminent subsidies will be needed to
make the cable come this way. Alas
ka has the inside track. as to facility
of construction and convenience of
management. Now this may be so,
or it may be merely talk.
Mr.. Scrymser went on to disparage
such possible stations as Wake Island
by saying: whatever islands this
cable is landed on must be inhabited
islands on which you can put men of
families with some of the elements of
civilization. Telegraph operators are
gentlemen who cannot be confined
upon desolate islands. The islands
needed for cable stations ought to
have more or less frequency of steam
er communication"
How has it been that gentlemen
and their families have often been
found to reside upon guano islets, far
from civilized intercourse? And how
then did the British government con-
template stationing telegraph opera
tors on such a desolate rock as Neck
ar Island? But if comfort and ac-
feasibility are essential in telegraph
stations. how about those Aleutian
Islands which Mr.. Scrymser expects
to be used for the purpose? We are
not accustomed to think of those cold,
desolate, tempestous islands as well
adapted for comfortable human habi-
tation.
Apparently the great cable projec-
tor is not unused to allowing consid-
cradle latitude to his talk when he
has an object in view. One is apt to
suspect that some allowance must be
made for the difficulty he alleges as
to getting a right to land a cable at
all at Manila. One thing is evident,
that Mr.. Scrymser sees very good
thing i'm the business of laying a ca
bic across the Pacific and means to
get the Job. which is not bad thing
for Hawaii. :. f. b.

large enough to hold two rows Of cef-
cry packed with the tops together In

the crate is opened in the market or

celery. Simple things like this often

Apropos of systems of strawberry

Plant selling and fruit raising is not,
as rule, a desirable combination.
Every spring we sell few thousand

more as an accommodation to the
neighbors than q money making

Wide Tires Improve Roads.

Narrow tires are essentially road de-
stroyers, while wide tires are road
makers. Nothing SO much tends to
improve a road as the continued roll
ing Of its surface. Wide tires roll
and harden the road surface, and by
their use every wagon can be turned
into an effective road roller. Every
wagon which today helps to cut up the
roads could be utilized for their Inn
proVement, for nothing SO much tends
to the making Of good roads as con-
tinual rolling of the surface.
