A Glowing Prediction.

Illinois, who reads THE HERALD, writes
to friend in North Yakima that Wash
ington is destined to become the greatest
state in the Union. Its Pacific seaports
will in time become more important than
that OF Frisco. | should say that in ten
years your city will number 10000; in
twenty years it will be the capital with

THE MEDICAL LAKE FARCE.

The Tacoma Ledger's startling head
line on the Medical Lake asylum does
not bear out the facts Of the legislative
investigation. What's this that roars 80
loud and thunders in the index? There
does not seem to have been any en-
balmed beef, but complaint is made that
the supply OF beef was cut one-half and
pork substituted Probably the board OF
audi and control believed that variety is
the spice of life. Then again a fearful
charge is made that the board raised the
requisition for $500 pounds OF oatmeal to
IS 900 pounds. This is too bad. The
board should not strive to overleed the
inmates. The weather was also cold and
created discomfort. No doubt Of it. We
had only 10 below in Yakima against 40
degrees below at Medical Lake, and the
nipping and eager winter air made ev-
ervbody uncomfortable for a while. We
are told also that the relations between
Superintendent Lockart and Steward w.
A. Cox are strained. Now everybody
here knows "Billv,' and if there il any
straining done, 1t must he by the other
fellow. Our sympathies 90 ont to the

BEAUTIFUL HONOLULU.
An Interesting Interview With Stanley Co fin
on the Sandwich Islands.

An Interesting Interview With Stanley Coffin
| on the Sandwich Islands.
Lester and Stanley Coffin, Of Coffin
Bros department store, have returned
from the Hawaiian islands. Stanley
Coffin WAS seen by HERALD reporter
yesterday and learned from him that the
trip had been a most enjoyable one. He
said I'VE left San Francisco as the
port OF departure for our voyage to Hon.
olulu, and arriving there toured over the
island group, but spent most of our time
in Honolulu. There are many business
men going there, but there is no show at
present for new lines of business, though
our occupation of the islands must event
ually increase trade and traffic there.
The license to do business is heavy, q
percentage being paid to the government
on the amount of business done. The
opportunities for raising sugar and coffee
are good. On sugar the cost is from $50
to $40 per ton to grow. but the product is
sold to sugar refiners on this coast from
S75 to $50 per ton. The coffee industry is
fast becoming likewise profitable and I'M.
portant. The disposition of the people is
kindly and hospitsble. We were given
a reception and enjoyed a feast of native
dishes, cooked under ground with hot
forest stones and leaves. The food was
clearly cooked and the pig, duck, fish
and chicken and fruits tasted fine. When
our boat left the dock nearly the whole
population came out to bid us goodbye,
and the pretty custom OF decorating the
ship and passengers with wresths and
flowers was observed. The band OF forty
pieces added TO the pleasure of the scene.
The hotel covers an acre of ground and
there is bath with every suite of two
rooms. The dust and heat require two
baths daily. They buy largely of this
coast. mainly hay, grain, flour, feed, etc.
The natives side, for the most part,
against the deposed Queen Lii, now IN
Washington, on account OF the corrup-
ZION and extravaganza of her court.
Honolulu is pretty city and the
population an easy going, fun loving peo-
pie. The street cars are in direct con-
trast with what we see in the larger cities
of the coast, being drawn by small mules.
They stop anywhere for passengers and
will wait il the driver observes psssen-
ger coming block away. l had one car
loaded with people stop for full ten
