be a very big one. Orders have been
piling up for months and now the time
has arrived for the uninterrupted trat-
fic and every merchant will want his
goods to go out as soon as possible.
There has been an enormous amount
of traffic on the front OF late, but 1t Is
safe to say that il will be almost dou-
bled from now on.
The captains and crews of the deep
water vessels will feel the effect OF the
raising OF the tabu and the handling OF
sugar will be greatly facilitated there
by. Sugar may now be landed on the
wharf and the steamers get away on
their regular trips without delay.
The Customs officers who have been
in a measure hampered in their work
by restriction will have free access
without question to all vessels.
Quite an army of Board OF eHalth
men will be missed from their accus-
toned places along the wharves and on
the ships and the places that they have
filled will be abolished by the raising of
the quarantine. The trade of the city
which has been tied since December
18th of last year Is now hampered no
longer and there Is gladness in the
hearts of all that the long seige Is
ended.

the fire on Nuuanu street between
Marine and Queen, and the announce
ment that block ten was rOady for the
torch. 'Ihe very serious question as to
the disposition to be made of the peo-
pie to be discharged from the quaran
tine camps began to be discussed this
week, and the solution was already seen
to be an exceedingly difficult matter.
A Chinaman from block ten died in the
hospital that day. Armstrong Smith
and G. Elvin were placed in charge OF
the pest hospital at the rifle range. II
was resolved at the meeting of the
Board of Health that il was absolutely
necessary to remove by fire the houses
in the infected districts, which were OBJ
jectionable by reason of their structure
and situation as a breeding place for
further infection.
THAT the ground upon which such
houses stand should be cleared and al
lowed to remain vacant for at least one
year and be thoroughly disinfected.
THAT a place for the abode of the
residents of the present infected dis
trlcts should at once be provided for
with proper facilities for drainage and
water supply.
THAT the water used in Honolulu
should be filtered and its supply aug
mented.
THAT the sewerage system should be
extended; and
THAT a systematic destruction OF the
garbage of the town should be provid-
ed for"
II was during this week that news
came of the precautions adopted by the
other islands against infection from
Honolulu, which, in the case of Hilo,
were destined to add so greatly to the
gayety of nations. and to tighten so
notably the local gloom.
There were two deaths on the 9th,
but no suspicious cases. At the Board
meeting that day it was decided after
much discussion that certain articles
should be considered clean freight for
Island ports, subject to the Boards
previous orders as to manner of ship
ment, to wit:
Lumber and building materials.
Appurtenances to machinery. includ-
ing lubricating oils.
Gasoline, kerosene and distillate. in
original packages.
Drugs, medicines and liquors. of En-
ropean or American manufacture.
Acid fertilizers in new bags.
American tobacco in original pack
ages.
The use OF the plague serum was also
first talked of on this day; and the fu-
ture disposal OF the persons detained
| n quarantine camps was exclusively
discussed by the Council of State.
4 member of the National Guard, the
| driver of an odorless excayatOr en-
gagged in work in Chinatown, and a
japanese woman, were stricken dow1
on the 10th, the last mentioned dying
On this day the Sanitary Committee
made a long and careful report of the
building regulations needed. Long dis
cussions Of the status OF the persons
| released from quarantine resulted in
various offers of houses and land for
| needy persons, and the scheme % re-
lief camps was first seriously gotten
under way.

Said Filth Was Not Unhealthful.

The quarantine of Chinatown was
raised on the same day. The China
town property owner was now embold-
ened by the passing of the scare to arise
in his dignity and wealth and hold forth
to the effect that filth was not unhealth-
full, and the official acts showed that
no radical measures were contemplat-
ed for the future. Three days later
President Cooper declared Honolulu
free from dangerous. contagious or in
fictitious diseases and the holiday bust
ness went gaily on.
The fancied security lasted over
Christmas, but on the next day the
town was startled to learn that three
more deaths were declared to be unmis-
iakably due to plague. One of these
was that of Ethel Johnson, DIR. Hoff-
mann having found bacilli in every part
of her body. At the special meeting of
the Board of Health on Christmas night
Dr. Wood came out strongly and stated
that he thought it would be cowardly TO
call it anything but plague. If ii was
plague. II was discovered that natives
and Chinese were concealing their sick
lest the latter should be cremated. and
the relation of filth and plague became
more and more apparent as the places
from which victims came were taken
note Of. There was another suspicious
case the same day; the Australia's pas
sengers were forbidden to carry le's;
md the suggestion about burning in
'ected buildings began to come into ia

of the quarantine were revoked, al
though it was obvious that the plague
had not yet amounted to much. The
public about this time began to feel bit
Ter toward the Board of Health for hav-
ing so far neglected their duty In the
past as to allow so vile and danger
GUS a state of affairs to grow up in
Chinatown; but concluded to let by
cones be bygones, omit determinations,
and hold up the hands of the authorities
in their present work.

Rats Liked the Poison.

They came, but not just the ones that
were expected. The rats fairly revealed
in the new feast set before them, de-
youred tie sailed lard, sampled the
cooling drink left ION the side" ana
came back for more. Such a luau had
not been in ratdom for many a long
day. The Council OF State passed "A
bill approprlating s3i5. 25324 for a new
sewer system and 100000 for the sup
preston OF the plague.

Three More Victims.

Three more victims died on the 18th
of January. which also recorded an
other case-that of a Chinaman at the
corner of King and Richards streets.
The 18th also saw the last of the in
fected premises on Nuuanu street and
Kukui lane. On this day DIR. Wood laid
down the following rule as to what the
Board of Health considered insanitary
buildings:
IF a building is in such an insani-
tary condition that il cannot by any
means be disinfected and put in a san
itary shape by the usual means other
than fire, then it should be destroyed
by fire. Secondly, if buildings are
considered by the Board as not being
insanitary, but by reason OF their ad-
dining infected premises and being in
such a condition that rats can easily
pass from one building to another. we
pronounce them to be infected with
plague. even though a death did not
occur in the premises, and thereby they
are condemned to follow others in be-
ing DESTROYED by fire."

Perambulsting Headquarters.

One curious feature OF the Board or
Hellth's meetings during this month
was the FORMULATING headquarters.
President Wood, accompanied by the
other members of the Board and Sec
rotary Hendry, used to make official
condemnation tours of infected blocks
Motions and resolutions were passed
with due Formally upon street cor
ners, in infected premises. over reek-
ing ceespools. and usually in the pres
ence of a wondering crowd of Celes-
tials and japanese. The Council OF
State on this day passed a bill provid-
ing $4,000 for relief camps ana the
maintenance of the quarantined.
One death. one suspect. was the rec
ord for the 18th. Block 10 was burned.
the job being done 50 thoroughly that
nothing was left except a solitary brick
structure known as the Holt block.
A detachment of military guards was
thrown around the Union Square
beck so suddenly that passers-by were
caught and held there. not being al
lowed to go out on any pretext. The
merchants OF Honolulu put themselves
on record as indorsing the action OF
the Board of Health in destroying Chi
ratown, and took wholly optimistic
view Of the situatlon: while Yang Wei
Pin. the Chinese Consul. came out with
a statement that he did not consider
such drastic measures necessary. The
quarantine was now enforced so strict
" that no freight was allowed to leave
Honolulu for unaffected parts OF the
Islands except canned goods that had
been fumigated.
On the morning Of the 18th. which
was Monday. five more deaths and
four suspects were announced, one OF
these being Mrs. Boardman.

There was only one new case that
day, and Mrs. BOardman was reported
