HAPPENINGS ON HAWAII
Continued from Page ID
Hilo Has a Future.

| 1t Is the opinion of a prominent Ho-
nolulu business man that the sooner
Hllo people wake up 10 The Iact that
this town has a higher future, and
grasp the opportunity before them, the
more likely they Will be to get there
before outsiders step in. He also
states with equal positiveness that ii
Honolulu houses expect to hold their
business here they must put in branch
establishments. This we hope will be
done. The more interests Honoluluites
have here, the more they will help us
in securing the public improvement S
that the towns needs demand. The as
sistance which they can give us, If they
will, is not to be despised.-Tribune.
Stabbing Epidemic.
Though we apparently haven't bu-
bonic plague germs in Hllo there seems
to be some sort of bug in the air
that is pretty nearly as mlschievous,
If one may judge from the stabbng
epidemic that has hit the town. We
arn't particularly proud of 1t, even
when we look at it in the most favor
able light, and try to believe il is a
mark of progress and the proper thing
in d booming up-to-date town, which
Hilo certainly is-speaking hyperboli-
cally. Greatness has it's penalties, and
if we will rival Honolulu we must ex-
pect some evils endant.-Tribune.
