Mr. Flint would move to-day. only that
he expects large official mail on the
Kinau, which will require immediate
attention, and his moving is deferred
until that has been answered and dis
posed Of Mr. Flint will have better
quarters in his new location on Mer-

The money-order business is grow
ing or the Islands in an amazing way.
There are now sixty-eight postoffices
in operation. That is, the bonds of
that many postmasters lave been
completed and forwarded to Washing
ton. Six or seven more offices are I'M
der consideration, and Mr.. Flint is con-
fdent that seventy-five Offices will be in
operation by the middle of next month.
OF all these. forty-six are money-order
offices. The following will be effective

in response TO a general demand.
The name of the postofiice at Pohoi-
XII, in Hawaii. has been changed to Ka
Doho. and the Office of Waiohinu, Ha-
wall, viii open next week, just as soon
as the bond of the postmaster is APP
proved. All the offices are working adj
mirably and the service is more eff
cient than Mr.. Flint had hoped ii
might be, even at later date.
The money-order business is espe-
cially arge-unexpectedly so-and the
orders issued by the various offices
throughout the Islands are nearly all
drawn on Honolulu. This money is
sent here either for investment or TO
pay for purchases of goods. The vol
ume OF this business is a trade indi-
Gator for Honolulu.
The statement by Inspector Flint
that there has not been committed
single offense against the postal laws
on the Islands. save the use of sim
gle Cancelled stamp. is noteworthy. 1T
speaks wonderfully we'll for the hon
esty OF the people OF Hawaii" said Mr..
Flint yesterday, with unusual feeling.
All these things have been accom-
plished since Inspector Flint arrived in
Honolulu on June 8.
An illustration of the liberal man
ner in which the Government treats
the people of the Islands was afforded
Yesterday when Mr. Flint received or
ders to issue to the water works 5000
postal cards and to the Weather Blu

cards that these gorvern-
