The report was circulated in Olaa
last week that there had been five
deaths from plague in Hilo. The peo-
pie OF 0laa must be entertaining q yell
low journalist unaware.
Mr.. Mcneil, who has had long ex-
perience as overseer on sugar planta-
tions, came over from Maui by the HI

ma upon the Puma plantation.

The Claudine, after several days at
sea, discovered that the Cleveland was
at Hilo. 1t strikes us that the people
in Honolulu would have known that
any self-respecting steamer would not
go back to the Coast without seeing
Hilo. 1t is strange how slow these Ho-
nOluluites are In waking up to the act
ual position that Hilo holds in the
universe, and it's magnetic attractions
for shipping.
A large steamer sighted Friday
morning was supposed to be a trans
port from Sam Francisco. She proved,
however, to be a German steamer with
the machinery for the American Sugar

to suspend operations on account of
being unable to strike fresh water for
irrigation, it seems likely that they
will have no use for the machinery.
The third telephone line up the Vol

Us running, for the use OF that COM
pany. After that the metallic circuit
will be introduced, which II do away
with the induc.. on that now allows or
causes the conversation over one wire
to be reproduced on the adjoining
wires; n source OF much bad language.
