.REP.E.E. RICHARDS
Hilo's Representative and
It's Post Office.
Business Development of the RAINY
City-New Blocks Going Up
he Oiaa Plantation.

+. +. Richards who represents Huo
in the Legislature and who is one OF
the Rainy CItys most prominent men
is visiting in Honolulu
What are we doing in Hilo?" re-
peated Mr.. Richards yesterday in an
swer TO a question. We'll, there is
nothing particularly startling We are
not yet sufficiently advanced in civil
iZatiOn, l suppose, to have the hustle
and excitement, murders and suicides,
such as Honolulu enjoys.
The Postoffice? That's a tender
spot. If ever there was a needed pub
lie Improvement on these Islands it is
a new postoffice building for Hilo. The
present shanty is rich with years and
should long ago have been used for
kindling wood.
IF we cannot have a new building
at least let the present apology be
moved back. 1t stands right in the
center of Front street, which is we'll
graded and macadamized and is one of
the best thoroughfares of the city. Be
tween the postoffice and the mauka
side of the street there is room for
only one rig to pass at the time. On
the makai side the property is all gov
eminent land, and the building might
easily be moved back-that is, if it
would stand moving. There is an I'M
touched postoffice appropriation of
$40 900 which will not be available
after December 31st. So if anything
is to be done it should be done at once.
"Hilo is going ahead in a manner
satisfactory to those most interested.
In proportion we are having as much
building as is Honolulu. The Peacock
block is to be an elegant structure
which would ornament any city. The
Spreckels two story building is to have
an addition so that the whole block
will be taken up with a uniform two
story structure.
"Olaa plantation is doing wonders for
Hilo. 1t has given employment to a
great number of people and has been
the means of greatly increasing the
volume of business in every way.
Manager McStocker is surprising even
those who had expected great things
from him. He is hard worker, and
all his efforts prove him the right man
for the place. Those who know most
about Olaa have mistaken confidence
in it's future.
'"The railroads are not causing much
talk, probably because the work is
going on so quietly. Surveys are being
made and preliminary arrangements
completed.
"EIilo was never more prosperous,
and best of all its advancement is
and not the initiation Of boom"
Mr. Richards did intend to return to
Hilo today, but recent business devel-
make it probable that he will
leave for the coast next Friday.

kAMALO PLANTATION.
Manager McLane Reports Cane

Manager Pat McLane of Kamalo is
ports that the progress on the planta-
ton is most satisfactory. A number of
acres have been planted with seed cane
and a great many more have been
plowed and made ready for big
shipment of seed cane that went UP TO
the plantation yesterday. The water
prospects are first class. During the
past few days over seventy acres of
land have been flooded with water
coming from two springs.

NATURE OF THE ALLIGATOR.
The Reptile Described in Detail by
One Who Knows It's Habits

An alligator is not an attractive crea-
ture. He has not a single virtue that
can be named. He is cowardly. treach-
erous, hideous He is neither graceful
nor even respectable in appearance lie
- not even amusing or grotesque in
his ungainliness, for as brute-a brute
unqualified-he is always so intensely
real that one shrinks from him with
loathfng. and laugh at his expense
While in his presence would seem curl
ously out of place. says Appleton's
Monthly.
His personality, too, is strong. Once
catch the steadfast gaze of free, adult
alligator's wicked eyes with their odd
vertical pupils fixed full upon your
own, and the significance of the ex-
preston evil eye" and the mysteries
OF snake charming. hypnotism and hoo
dooism will be readily understood, for
his british. merciless, unfinching stare
Is simply blood-chiIling.
ZoolCgically, the alligator belongs 10
the genus crocodilus. and he has all the
kideousness of that family. lacking
somewhatitsb loodthirstines although
the American alligator is carnivoroLs
by nature, and occasionally cannibaI-
istic. Strictly speaking, however. the
true alligator is much less dangerous
than his relatives of the old world, and
he is CORRESPONDENCE less courageous.
