Capital the Blood of Business.
In the economy of nature the entire
body of man is built up by joining to-
gether in wonderful way many mil
lions of minute cells. They are not all
alike. There are bone cells, muscle
cells, fat cells, nerve cells, membrance
cells, many other kinds, each with its
individual character, purpose and use
fulness. The boy on the road to man
hood who gained a pound in weight
last month simply added to his bulk a
pound of cells. How was it done ?
The materials for the new growth
were taken from his food, transformed
into blood, and the blood, circulating
to every part Of his system, built a
new cell here, bunch of them there,
pound of them everywhere. Notice
it was new blood that made all the
growth.
Capital is blood-the blood Of busi-
ness. You see business making pro-

The farmer pays great many taxes.
A few of them are levied by the law,
some by nature, more by the farmer.
Transportation is tax that all three
join in assessing. Nearness to market
lessons this tax.
How do you measure nearness, in
miles or in dollars? I talked recently
with a farmer who estimated that it
cost him fifty cents bale to haul his
cotton the forty miles from his farm
to the railroad. The next evening an
other farmer figured out for me that
he was paying six bits" seventy-five
cents, to haul his cotton twenty-three
miles to the same town. The man
who was seventeen miles farther was
twenty-five cents bale nearer.
1t costs S5S to get hundred barrels
of flour from q certain mill to its
market; S9S to get hundred barrels
from another mill to the same market.
The first mill is q per cent. nearer in
miles and IA per cent. nearer in dol
lars. Which measure the business
distance, the miles or the dollars?
Forty miles over dirt road is long
way from market, whichever way it is
measured. A large percentage of the
crops and live stock of the Southern
farmer is produced at some such dis
tance from the railroad, while it is

Machinist Cordray, who was here
with the L. 5. Gunboat Benning-
ton, is passenger aboard the Solace.
Cordray had but few months to serve
when he left this port, and has now re-
ceiyed his discharge and is on the way
to his home in Portland, Ore, where
his brother has the popular theater of
the town, in which the navy man Is
also Interested. Cordray and a number
Of men with him give the Judgment
that the Philippines are not ripe yet
with opportunities for white men, and
have at present many quite pronounC-
ed draw backs. Cordray speaks in
glowing terms OF the work of the navy
about Manila and lloilo. He says the
Filipinos are in the deadllest terror OF
the big guns aboard the ships. Cord
ray reports Nanderyeer, Harry Flint
and other warrant officers well known
here, as in good health, but anxious to
get back to Honolulu.

Reports OF slight decrease In some

Building material remains firm with

The New Bank may open on corner

Stocks continue changing hands at

There is, however, this to be said:
The local merchants have been
wronged and deprived of that which
rightfully belonged TO them by those
that are carried from month to month
by the merchants. Men drawing good
salaries should pay their bills and not
use the merchants money for stock
speculation without their consent.

One OF the oldest houses OF the city
has Joined interests with two other
well-known firms. \ deal was consum-
mated Tuesday by which J. 7. Water
house & Co. consolidated with May q
Mcintyre and the Pacific Hardware Co.
The latter firm will assume charge OF
the crockery department and the stock
Of this line now in the Bethel street
establishment of Waterhouse & Co.
will be moved to the store OF the Pa
cific Hardware Co. The space left va
cant by this transfer will then be Occu-
pied by the wholesale stock of II. May

Except for this change everything
will remain the same for the present
After the erection of the big five-story
building by Brewer & Co on the prem
ises now occupied by J. J. Egan and
II. May d Co. all the consolidated in
terests will be housed in the same
building.
The firm of ]. T. Waterhouse & Co.
is one of the old landmarks of Homo
lulu. Ii was founded in 1851 by the
grandfather Of the present members
Of the firm. These are four young men,
Fred, Ernest c., John and George
Waterhouse. The original store was
opened in Lahaina, then the most i'm
pOrtant city on the Islands. Later 1t
was moved 10 this city. Several sites
have been occupied by the firm, their
present quarters being occupied in
August OF last year for the first time.
An interesting contemplated big ad-
vance step on the part OF the old-estab-
lished and prosperous grocery house
Of Lewis & Co, was the subject OF
street talk yesterday and the members
OF the firm were congratulated on all
sides The report is that Lewis & Co.
are the fortunate ones TO secure the
Gulick properly on King street, be-
tween Fort and Alakea. 1t is further
said that their intention is tC
erect on the lot q large building to be
occupied for the most part by theil
wholesale and retail business, which
during the past few years, has growr
TO fine proportions. Lewis & Co. have
made specialties of catering to fami
lies in the retail department and tC
shipping and other large buyers in the
wholesale line. They have long been
puryeyors for the U. 5: n. ships
touching at this port and have rep
utation in the States. The house keeps
an agent on the coast the year round
watching the markets and buying at
opportune periods. The house has
made money for everybody in the firm
and the business Will probably be eX-
panded in up to date style when new
building Is occupied. In their present
store Lewis a. Co. have always made
fine displays. In new building they
will doubtless have windows attractive
as the displays OF such high class es-
Establishments everywhere.

RIVERSIDE PARK

The superintendent of Public
Works informs the Advertiser
that the reason for the delay IN
completing the Aala park Is
this: That before the area of
the park can be properly filed
In. the retaining wall on the
side OF the Nuuanu stream
must be raised. and not only
that, but the retaining wall for
1900 feet towards the valley
must also be raised. II this Is
not done the waters of a food
AZ some distance up the valley
may overflow the retaining wall
and would then wash out the
park. The proper laying OF the
retaining wall and its construc-
ton cannot he rapidly done.
The entire length OF this wall
must be finished before the park
can be filled. The work Is pro-
crossing rapidly. and will soon
be finished. Those who have
taken the trouble to go over the
ground, appear to he satisfied
with the situation. 4 park sub
iect TO floods and overflow will
